Most of the Southern delegates

the practice of bribing delegates
is not limited to the Repub-

delegation said that Senator
Kerr's supporters had tempted
eight delegates from his State
with offers of large sums of money
to vote for Kerr.
Another California delegate.
Gael Sullivan, said Senator Kerr
had offered him $500 for his vote.
The Democrats seem to be paying
less for their votes than the Re-
publicanS. but the ethics and the
methods of the election campaign
are quite the same. -.
Their election platforms are
also amazingly alike. They are
said to be as alike as two peas in

Republicans and Democrats are
dedicated heart and soul to tho

Rev. Atlas Johnson. 25, was still
without medical attention yester-

mountain cabin, his arm swollen
black and dotted with blisters
from four bites of a diamond-back

fused medical attention since he
was bitten last Sunday at a snake
handling religious service at Big
Stone Gap.
Records at the Veterans Ad-

been mental patient there three

Visitors to his cabin spoke in
hushed tones. in contrast to the

that had prevailed on previous
nights.
Norton officials have informally
discussed whether medical treat
ment should be legally admins
tered to Mr.. Johnson, but they
have taken no action.

Leaving Spotlight /
After Big Moment :
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, July 24.-The ball
is over today for the Democratic
National Conventions political
Cinderella.
He can take off his mask and
be just plain Thomas j. Gavin,
councilman of Kansas City, Mo.
For almost a week he has been
acting as two other people.
When it came time for Missouri
to ballot. he cast one half vote
for Delegate Harry S. Truman of
Independence. Mo-, President of
the United States.
His VIP-type badge hung
heavily on his chubby chest. It
was engraved. Dean G. Acheson,
Secretary of State" That was so
he could waltz with ease about the
jam-packed convention hall.
Neither the real Truman nor the
real Acheson was at the conven-
tion. They were in Washington.
Thus. Alternate Delegate Gavin
wearing the official colors of the
one and the open-sesame badge
of the other-f1oated on a cloud
of glory for four days.
His biggest moment came yes
terday. He ended a long guessing
game, heightened since the con-
vention opened Monday:
For whom would President Tru-
man vote in the selection of the
party's 1852 presidential nominee
today?
At a Missouri caucus Mr.. Gavin
gave the answer. But not right
away. He stalled. talking about
other things, when the delegation
was polled. Then he announced
II intend to cast Mr.. Truman's
vote for the Governor of Illinois

CorSaro, upon questioning by
the judge, said he knew the pick
up man only as Shell" Corsaro
asserted that he himself received
no profits from the play but that
he was only doing favors for
friends in making the bets for
them.
Judge Holtzoff observed: 1T is
strange thing to me that every
body who writes numbers doesn't
know the person to whom he turns
(the money! in. 1t seems the de-
fendant knows more than he says
he does"

Stantial businessman has less
excuse than an ignorant, unedu-
Gated person" for engaging in
Illicit activities. He said he would
sentence Corsaro on Monday and
ordered him committed for the
week end.

OF previous convictions on similarI
charges. Judge Holtzoff cited this
to her attorney, Samuel Green, asl
making her ineligible for proba-
tion. He said. however. that he
believed she would be eligible for

Potomac Basin Group
Visits Savage Dam
In Pollution Study
By james BirchfieId
Stor Stoff Correspondent

CUMBERLAND, Md, July 25.-
Members Of the Interstate Com
mission on the Potomac River
Basin inspected the Savage River
dam near here today to see at
first hand its effect on pollution
abatement in the upper river.
officials explained that 60 mil
lion gallons of water are being
poured into the Potomac each day
from the dam, which was COM
pleted last spring. This is having
a marked influence on reducing
the effects of pollution in the
Luke-Cumberland area.
Commission members also vis-
Ilted two industrial plants to in
spect work being done by industry
to reduce wastes in the river.
At field meeting yesterday en-
phaSis was placed on the COM
munlty approach to correcting the
pollution in the Cumberland area.
Ralph E. Thurman, superin-
|tendent of the District of Column
.bia sewage treatment plant, said
both industry and municipalities
must decrease pollution if the
Cumberland area is to assume a
position of leadership in the basin.
Industrial Future Cited.
Mr.. Thurman. who recently con-
Quoted survey of the upper river
area, said the river is now a
nuisance" and should be cleaned
up before industry can be ex-
pected to be interested in the area.
He said Cumberland should re-
duce it's sewage pollution by con-
|structing adequate treatment IA
Icilities, and that the Celanese
Corp. of America and the West
Virginia Pulp & Paper Co. both
should reduce their waste load
now being dumped into the
Potomac.
DR.. w. E. Mose1ey, member of
the Allegany County Metropolitan
Commission, said the polluted
Potomac is endangering the
health of Cumberland and area
residents.
Strict Laws Urged.
Cali existing laws regarding
pollution control should be en-
forced strictly" DR.. Moseley said
IF these laws are not sufficient,
then additional laws should be
passed. These laws should have
teeth that will bite" he said.
Robert T. REGISTER, consulting
engineer, said Cumberland now
has plans for a plant that will
cost 81 million. He said the plant
was designed to serve the city and
its suburbs, and will provide pri-
mary treatment for a population
of $4,000. expected by 1870.
A special study committee, ap-
pointed by the commission last
June 10 study conditions IN the
Washington Metropolitan Area, an
nounced it would study plans for
treatment facilities in the area and
make suggestions to speed up con-
troll measures in the area.
Officials said the committee
probably would suggest that the
same degree of sewage treatment
be provided throughout the area.
Washington plans to provide rs
per cent treatment by 1860. Alex
andria, when it builds a plant, will
provide about 10 per cent treat
ment, while Fairfax County will
Iprovide the same degree of treat
ment. Arlington is now construct
ing pant that will provide about
33 per cent treatment.

The invading Mustangs, powers

that Shaw's coach, Bob Cawrse,

Mustangs no doubt are eager to
show their ex-coach that they
