Alabama 6. 0. P. Primary
To Be First in 30 Years
BY the Associated Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. I.
Alabama Republicans, because
of their strong showing in the
1852 presidential race, will be
eligible to have a Statewide prl-
mary election next May for the
first time in nearly 80 years.
And State Chairman Claude
o. Vardaman of Birmingham
said today the G. o. P. def
nitely" will take part in the
spring primary instead of choos-
ing its candidates by convention
as Republican leaders have done
in the past.
MI. Vardaman said the Re
publicanS will nominate candl-
dates for Governor and United
States Senator, as they have
done regularly in the past, and
for any other State job that
members of the party care to
try for. In previous election
wears, the G. o. P. has sought
few of the minor offices.
The law says a political party
can have a Statewide primary
only if it polled at least 20 per
cent of the total vote in the
previous general election. The
149.231 votes President Eisen-
hover received in Alabama were
35 per cent of the total.

Yale Gets 1926 Book
Telling Of California
BY the Associated Press


NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. T.
A copy of the worlds first book
to mention the name Cali
fornia" is now the property of
the Yale University library,
James T. Babb, university Ii
brarian. announced today.
The book titled Las Segas De
Esplandian" is one of a group
of rare books presented to the
university by William Robertson
Coe who is also the donor of
Yale's famous Coe collection of
western Americana.
The spanish novel in which the
name California appears was
written by Gutieres De Montalvo
and published in Seville in 1910.
The Yale copy, is the only known
copy of an edition published in
Burgos, Spain, in 1926.
The novel describes a myth
ical island of California" as a
paradise Inhabited by handsome,
amazon-like women ruled by a
Queen Calafia.
When the Spanish pioneers
reached the coast of the area
now known as California they
gave it that name because they
thought it closely resembled the
mythical island.
Also among the books are two
journals Of Ambrose Bierce; the
latter book of Maj. Benjamin
OFallon, pioneer Indian agent
and nephew of Gen. William
Clark, of Lewis an0 Clark fame;
the only known copy of the
first constitution proposed for

Justice Ex-0fficiaIs
FaceProbeTo

A Federal grand jury tomor-
row will start hearing evidence
that former Justice Department
officials have violated conflict
of interest" laws.
These statutes are aimed
at preventing attorneys from
switching sides in legal disputes.
For two years after an attorney
leaves the Government, he may
not handle for private clients
the same cases he had handled
on behalf of the Government.
The laws also bar attorneys from
taking certain legal fees while
they work for the Government.
Violations may be punished by
fine of $4,000 and one years
Imprisonment.
United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover and Special Assistant to-
the Attorney General Murry Lee
Randall will present evidence to
the grand jury. This is expected
to take about a week.
Justice Department officials, in
announcing the start of the
grand jury investigation, did not
name the former officials who
are suspected.

Iron Curtain" since Western
Europe must find new markets
for it's products and is co-operat-
ing with this country in embar-
goes on trade in strategic goods
with the Soviet bloc.
38 Restrictive Bills.
He said at least 38 bills "to
cut imports from our friends and
allies" already have been intro
duced this session.
Mr.. Morton emphasized that
restrictions on imports from
abroad "are not in our own self
interest" He pointed out that
when Congress restricted i'm
ports of cheese, one result was
that France cancelled contracts
for buying citrus fruit here be-
cause of lack of dollars.
He pointed out that from 1916
to 1852, the United States ex-
ports amounted to approxi-
mately $34 billion more than
its imports. The excess was
financed by aid from the United
States and the use of gold in
dollar reserves. With the reduc-
ton of foreign aid, he said
American exports will drop
sharply unless imports are in
creased to permit other countries
to earn the dollars needed to
keep buying American products.
In this situation, Mr.. Morton
said. the United States faces
these three alternatives:
81. We can cut exports and
accept defaults on payments of
loans.
%. We can meet the trade
deficits with money from the
public treasury-the taxpayers
pockets; or,

10 Mckay Charges
In Tiff Over Custer

Marion Clawson, director of
the Bureau of Land Manage
ment who was fired yesterday by
Secretary Of the Interior Mckay,
promised today that he will send
the Secretary a "carefully-writ-
ten, carefully -documented" letter
setting forth the reasons why he
thinks he should be retained in
his $13, ,200-a-year position.
He told The Star he has not
yet decided whether to file an
appeal with the Civil Service
Commission.
To Reply in S Days.
Mr.. Clawson said his reply to a
curt letter from Mr.. Mckay dis
missing him will be forwarded
within the 1lve-day limit set by
the Secretary. Mr.. Mckay di-
rected his dismissal effective on
April 80.
Mr.. Mckay had offered Mr..
Clawson a $11, ,800-a-year job as
an economic adviser on land
matters after he appointed Ed
ward Woozley, Idaho State land
commissioner, to be director of
the land management bureau.
Mr.. Clawson told reporters he
had not resigned, that he be-
lieved his job had civil service
protection by law, and that he
challenged Mr.. McKay's author
ity as a matter of principle.
In his letter of dismissal, the
secretary said he construed Mr.
Clawson's criticism of the pro-
posed transfer as designed to
embarrass me and the depart
ment and to be definitely of q
nature of insubordination."
Promotes Efficiency.
"It is evident" he wrote. that
we would not be able to work
together in harmony under these
circumstances, and, therefore.
your removal will serve to pro-
mote the efficiency of the Fed

II feel that all requirements
of law and regulations relating
to a change as proposed have
been fully met"
The secretary also said that
he had informed Mr.. Clawson

Assistant Secretary of State
Thruston B. Morton today called
for the country to rally to the
support of the Eisenhower ad-
ministration against special in
tereSt" moves in Congress threat
ening to put new restrictions on
foreign trade.
In a speech prepared for de-
livery in New Orleans and dis
tributed textually by the State
department here. Mr.. Morton de-
clared that I'VE are at the cross
roads in United States trade pol
city"
On the one hand, he said, is
the conviction of the administra-
ton that it is in the best inter-
est Of this country and the en-
tire free world to increase trade
and thus reduce the need for
United States aid to it's allies.
Urges Broad Vision.
On the other hand he added,
are important groups saying I'VE
must keep the American market
for American products"
The groups with special in
terests." Mr.. Morton declared,
are infinitely more effective in
getting their views presented
where it counts the most-be-
fore our legislators.
IF we are ever to get for
eign trade policy capable of serv-
ing as the foundation for a
strong free world defense effort,
it is incumbent upon groups
such as yours to stimulate a
broader understanding of the
issues involved"
Mr.. Morton was speaking be-
fore the Mississippi Valley World
Trade Conference which stresses
the theme of balanced trade,
reduced aid"
Hearings Next Week.
He pointed to hearings be-
ginning next Wednesday before
the House Ways and Means
Committee on the so-called
Simpson bill as decisive on
(which of the crossroads the
United States shall take in it's
trade policy"
Mr.. Morton asserted the
Simpson bill would tear the
vitals out of the present Re-
ciprocal Trade Agreements Act"
The bill would extend the act
but with a series of amendments
drastically reducing the Presi-
dents powers to lower tariffs
under it.
Adoption of such a bill would
create CONSERVATION mo ong
countries of the free world and
would lend credence to the Com
munist theme that the United
States wants to sell but it does
not want to buy" Mr.. Morton
declared.
Cites Present Dangers.
He warned that any pulling
back" from cooperation in re-
ducing barriers to trade in the
free world involved several dan
gers" to the United States. He
explained such action would:
/. Play into the hands of Com
muniStS trying to divide this
country from its allies, tending
to bear out Stalin'S teaching of
an inevitable trade conflict
among non-Communist nations"

"big gains in the battle of pro-
duction" by merging economies
OF the satellites while the more

COTTAGE NAMES

Company from some other
part of the country opens ones
eyes to the home community as
nothing else does. For instance,
some South Carolinians visiting
at the Cats Meow, recently, said
the cottage names on the beach
just "slayed" them. They hadn't
struck this scribe as so odd, but
the company thought Holiday
House sounded so jolly, Room
Enuf so hospitable and Spen-a-
Rest so relaxing. Whispering
Winds they. considered poetic;
the Anchor, the Breakers and
Snug Harbor very nautical; Lazy
Days comfortable and the Rebel
interesting. They giggled over
Buzzard's Roost and the Goose.
but they insisted At Long Last
was the best of all, = it had such
a note of achievement. To your
scribe, Dare Devil has always
been the choice, and you needn't
make any cracks about puns be-
ing a mediocre form of wit.

ENTHUSIASM

It's. fun to show off a place
you love to people who have
never seen it before. These hill
bred South Carolinians dotted on
the ferries, but were puzzled by
''those bitches with water in
them" They romped in the ocean
and baked in the sand, but they
dotted on the flowers in Kitty
Hawk and on Roanoke Island.
They ohed and ahed properly
over Mother Vineyard and could
envision a great future for the
National Seashore Park. They
let their imaginations run wild
about Blackbeard's treasure and
read feverishly to learn about
the ships whose wrecked bulls
can be seen. They tried all the
seafood the beach afforded and
even learned to like hushpuppies,
though they thought onion in
bread an odd combination.

APPRECIATIVE

The company attended the
opening night presentation of
''The Lost Colony" and were
thoroughly impressed. Two of
them sing in choirs at home and
to them the highlight of the
event was the Westminster

liked the whole performance and
responded with gratifying emo
ton to your scribe's favorite pas
sage, when Old Tom, on watch,
puts into words the wonder of a
nation in which tavern bum as
he had been at home could find
himself in a new world, where he
was trusted with the safekeeping
of so lives.
