Stevenson Forces Win
Skirmlish On Eve OF Miss.
Democratic Convention
By KEITH FULLER

| JACKSON, Miss. R-- Mississip.
PTS divergent Democrats, in a
three-way split for Gov. Adlai Stew.
enson, Dwight Eisenhower and a
possible third party group, battle
today for supremacy in the state
Democratic convention.
The Stevenson forces, headed by
Gov. Hugh White and Mississippi
congressional delegation, won a
fight in the resolutions committee
Sunday night.
A resolution offered by Steven
SON hackers was adopted lis after
Eisenhower members brought
about the omission of a clause en-
doring the Illinois governor.
The resolution, as revised, called
simply for the electors Of the state
Democratic convention to be
pledged to Stevenson and Sen. John
Sparkman of Alabama without a
state party endorsement.
The resolution was subject to re
vision, rejection or adoption today.
A resolution of the pro Eisen
hover forces, defeated lis, sought
to put the Stevenson Sparkman
ticket on the ballot with the state
ment that the Mississippi Demo-
cratic Party did not recommend it
to the voters of the state. 4
The original Stevenson resolution
offered by State Rep. Ed White
contained an endorsement clause
that read therefore, believing the
best interests of Mississippi re-
quires it, this convention iryevoc-
ably pledges its electors 20 vote
for Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois
for President and for Sen. John
J. Sparkman Of Alabama for vice
president"
Former Il. Gov. Sam Lumpkin,
head of the Mississippi Democrats
for Eisenhower movement and
chairman of the resolutions CON-
mittee, warned the committeeman
eff you 60 on to the floor of the
convention tomorrow and railroad
that Stevenson endorsement
through, you'll split the Democrat
lie Party of this state so that it
will never get back together
again."

Kaiser Says
Attempt Made
On His Life
Industrialists
Still Races And
Finishes Second

TAHOE CITY, Calf. R-Indus-
trialist Henry J. Kaiser today ac-
cused unknown saboteurs who tam
pered with two speedboats he had
entered in races here of ga muir
derous attempt on my life"
Damage to the powerboats was
discovered half hour before race
time Sunday.
"I'm sure it was an attempt on
my life, ONE Of the most diabolical
things I've ever seen," the SO -
year-old steel aluminium auto
mobile magnate declared.
Harry Johnson, Tahoe City con-
stable called on the case, said the
sabotage was crude and might be
the work of a crank, or of Lake
side residents who have COM
planned that Kaiser's boats are too
noisy. A hunt for fingerprints was
started.
Kaiser said he suspected the
eampering was the work of "the
same people who have tried to de-
stroy everything I've tried to
build" He did not elaborate.
The damage was discovered by
Kaiser's mechanic and driver, Max
Collins, after he noticed hack
saw blade In the bottom of the 81
foot Gold Cup racer Hot Metal.
The boats main drive shaft had
been sawed half way through and
Che carburetor blower had been
stuffed with rags, nuts and bolts.
The bilge and hull of a "a foot
runabout had been soaked with an
estimated five gallons Of gasoline,
which could have ignited at the
slightest spark.
EITHER sabotage could have
killed somebody" Kaiser said the
sawed shaft would have broken
and ripped boat and driver to
shreds" and the stuffed blower on
the Gold Cup boat and the gasoline
poured into the runabout would
have made fire "almost certain"
he added.
The constable declined to say
whether he thought the damage
was aimed at Kaiser's life. But he
said II was doubtful anyone was
trying to influence the outcome of
the race. The participants, like
Kaiser, are wealthy sportsmen
with nearby summer homes and
there was no betting, he explained.
Kaiser was not deferred from
racing. He finished second to ship.

bake for me after school. AT the

right out of the box. Hayes and L
had our lunch with Harry and then
for dessert 1 served my pride and

ever seen a guest try to be polite
and eat whatever the hostess
serves? The instructions said, add
so much water to the brownie mix
if you desire them chevy. Yes,

them. / must have been little
skinny with the water because l
could hardly get the brownies out
of the pan. 1 had to serve them re-
gardless. There Harry sat trying
his best to chew the chocolate
square he has chosen and finally
had to resort to his molars to bite
with. Oh! we were hysterical.

was a passenger in the Sussex

The dead man was John Lee Will

BLOOD ON THE HIGHWAYS

Americas highways are saturated with
blood. Last year alone, 37,5OO people were
killed in highway accidents. Another 2,000,-
900 we're injured.
There is no way to adequately describe
the suffering of the victims and their fami-
lies. But anyone can see that the price we
are paying for reckleSSness, carelessness, and
incompetence behind the wheel is out of all
reason and must be reduced.
There is still another aspect to this-the
economic aspect. Last year alone, despite all
possible savings and economies, the autOmO-
bile casualty insurance industry was unable
to make both ends meet. The premiums it
collected were more than $1OOOOO,OOO less
than it had to pay out because of the steadily
mounting cost of accidents. ManifeStly, no
enterprise can long operate on a deficit basis.
The immediate answer is higher rates.
But it is conceivable that, should the rates
go high enough, the insurance companies
would be priced right out of the market. And
then the alternative would become govern
ment-Operated compulsory insurance, paid for
in part through premiums and in part by
taxes. And anyone with the slightest know
ledge of business knows that
it is always accompanied by fragrant waste
and inefficiency, by ever-expanding, patron
age-staffed bureaus, and by an Unsuitable ap-
petite for more of our tax money. Even
worse, gOveTnment-in- business means less
freedom and opportunity for our peOple-and
brings us closer to the tyranny of total so
cialism.
There is only one answer to the highway
carnage and all the human and economic
problems it creates. The essence of it is tC
pass laws that will bar the incompetent anC
the cOngenitally reckless from the public
highways, and to enforce stringent, uniform
traffic codes to the letter. The man who re-
fuses to drive cautiously must be punished
and, if necessary, refused the right to drive
