Endorsement of the veteran Sen
ator Kenneth D. McKellar.
Two years later, after Gov.
Browning had broken with the
boss, Shelby County gave him
only 9,315 votes for renomina-
ton, as against 57,255 for his
successful opponent.
Some political figures. like
Gov. Browning. tried to buck
the Crump power, but many of
them preferred to drop quietly
out Of the picture. Watkins
Overton, who served Memphis
as mayor for IL years before
breaking with the boss, retired
in 1899 without seeking the Office
again.
Typical of Mr.. Crump's code
was his comment on the Overton
episode, which occurred during
the mayors negotiations for pur-
chase of the electric distribu-
ton system.
"He wouldn't follow along with
u.s." said Mr.. Crump, so like
everybody else who wouldn't
stick with the organization in all
matters, we kicked him out"
That incident paved the way
for the boss to become Mayor for
fourth term, but he resigned
after a scant minute in Office
and case-hardened citizens took
only casual notice.
The boss had desired Repre-
sentative Walter Chandler to be-
come Mayor, but his name could
not appear on the ballot while he
remained in Congress to vote for
the administrations neutrality
bill in World War II.
The Crump organization then
circulated a qualifying petition
with blank left for the name
of the candidate. At the last min
ute Mr.. Crump filled in his own
name, made the race" without
opposition, was inaugurated, re-
signed and had the city commits
sion elect Mr.. Chandler with no
waste motion.
Becomes Election Issue.
Every State election produced
Crump supported candidates and
in time the y-browed leader
became himself a major issue in
each campaign.
Mr.. Crump liked to carry canes
and attend Kentucky Derbies. He
hated profanity, liquor. tobacco.
coffee and red light districts. He
also developed a profound dis
like of President Harry Truman
and many of his Fair Deal
policies.
He met his Waterloo in 1948
in a campaign to prevent former
Gov. Browning from returning
to the State House and in trying
to whip Estes Kefauver in his
bid for the Senate.
Mr.. Crump had compared Mr..
Kefauver with "the pet coon
that puts its foot in an open
drawer in your room but in
variably turns its head Gin the
hope that) he will deceive any
onlookers as to where his foot is
and what it is into"
The liberal Mr.. Kefauver
promptly started wearing the
famed coonskin cap that became
a campaign badge.

The ingredients. he suggested,
include better engineering and
better enforcement Of traffic

He urged his audience, made
up Of women from all the States,

How Many Of 0usted
Risks COP. Hired
BY Tho Assoeioisd Press

Senator Olin D. Johnston,
Democrat Of South Carolina:
called on the Civil Service Com
mission yesterday to say how
many Government employees re-
moved as security risks since
May 20. 1853 were hired by the
Eisenhower administration.
He based the demand. made in
a telegram to Commission Chair
man Philip Young, on a WASH
ington Daily News article by
John Cramer yesterday. The art
icle carried "this reporters esti-
mate" that as many as IS per
cent Of the 6,926 security separa-
tions reported by the administra-
tion involved persons hired since
President Eisenhower took office.
Senator Johnston's action was
announced by Democratic Ma
tional Headquarters.
Mr.. Young was reported out OF
the city, and a commission
spokesman said there would be
no comment until he has re-
turned. He is due back tomor-
row.
Is Latest Barrage.
Senator Johnston's demand
was the newest barrage in the
continuing battle over figures
for the administrations security
program, a subject of wide con-
troversy In this campaign year.
The commission announced
last Monday that 6,926 Govern
ment employees had quit or been
fired since the program became
effective May %, 1858. while
their files contained derogatory
information of one kind or an
other falling under security regu-
lations.
Democrats have continually
discounted the significance Of the
figures, but Vice President Nixon
has said repeatedly that the ad-
ministration has been Kidding
travellers and security risks
not by the hundreds, but by the
thousands"
Grounds for removal under the
security program include talka-
tiveness, drunkenness, criminal
records and other similar causes
as we'll as subversive actions and
associations. =
Calls 1t Conservative Estimate.
The Daily News conceded N
had no current figures on which
to base it's assertion, but said it
was "a conservative estimate
based on what la called an anal
ysis of past and present Govern
ment hiring and investigatlve
practices.
Senator Johnston asked to be
informed Immediately how
many of the 6,926 who have been
separated from the Government
for security reasons were placed
in the position which they left
after January 20, 1953." along
with a breakdown by the various
categories covered by the Sc
curity program.
Mr.. Young already has prom
ised to supply by October 20 ad-
ditional information asked by
Chairman Rees of the House
Civil Service Commission. Mr.,
Rees asked what constitutes SUBJ
versive action sufficient to form
a basis for separation of Fed
eral employees under the pro-
gram. Representative Rees did
not ask any figures on when the
employees were hired.

Their Views

Mr. Duley, at 28 would pe the
youngest sheriff ever to represent
the county If elected.
Promising to uphold the laws
in general and see that things
are all right" Mr.. Duley says the,
Office will continue to do more
than just serve court papers and
transport prisoners. He calls 1t
"the only elective law enforce
ment Office in the county" and
adds he intends to see that it
does just that. He says he does
not subscribe to the theory that
it should be merely q paper
serving agency. Reminded that
the sheriff and his deputies had
conducted a number of law-en-
forcement raids during the past
four years-many times without
police knowing too much about
it-he said he believes compete
tion is good for the police de-
partment. He adds, however.
that this is no reflection on the
present police force.
Mr.. Ball says he's mot a cru
sader." He disagrees that the
sheriff's Office should be a COM
petitor of the police and adds.
I'm working with them" The
sheriff, he said, should stand
ready to help" If needed, but
should not serve as police
agency"
If elected, he says he intends
to set up the Office primarily as
an administrative agency-that
of processing court papers. serv-
ing warrants and the like, plus
supervision over the Jail and
prisoners. He makes one def
mite promise: That the tire
mendous expense will be cut
out" He charges that Office ex-
penses there have jumped from
"less than $4,000 a year to over
$35,O00." He claims this can be
cut without cutting efficiency"
He adds he also has several 9TH
er "ideas," but will "cross the
bridge when I get there"

smaller sizes is on the increase
with the peak expected this
month or in early September.
In shopping for eggs. compare
the prices on a weight basis. You
may find your food dollar
stretches farther when you buy
smaller eggs than the large ones.
In some of the local food chains
we found the small grade A
eggs selling for 80 cents less a
dozen than the extra large grade
A eggs and 26 cents less than
the large grade A.
When the shield on the carton
bears the letters "U. s." you can
bank on it, the eggs have been
graded by Government standards
for quality and size. According
to weight classes. dozen extra
large eggs must weight 27
ounces without the carton;
large eggs "a ounces and smalls
18 ounces. You can easily esti-
mate the cost per ounce by
dividing the price per dozen by
the I number of ounces per
carton. Often small eggs offer
the most for the money. In any
case. it pays to check.
In cooking with the small
eggs, some recipes may need
adjustment. For instance, If
you're depending on eggs for
thickening as in a custard. you
need to increase the number Of
eggs used.
For an angel or sponge cake.
it's always safer to measure the
amount of egg whites for ac-
curate results. A good rule to
follow is cup of egg whites
for / cup -four.
1t isn't necessary to change
the number Of eggs needed in
the recipes for plain cakes,
mullins, waff1es, cookies or grid
die cakes.
Remember. you can use the
lower grades (B and c. to good
advantage in making sauces, pie
filings. combination dishes. or
in baking. During the extreme
heat farmers find it difficult to
maintain top egg quality. AS
a result these grades are more
plentiful and offer you some at
tractive bargains. For poach-
ing. frying or cooking in the
shell, the higher grades are pre-
ferred, but for other uses the
less expensive ones will do just
as well.

Even with heavy supplies Of
beef showing up in local markets
there is little or no change in
prices at the retail counters. The
cattle slaughter for this week is
reported to be some $4,000 head
over a week ago. The supply Of
veal also increased which is re-
fected in the various cuts you'll
see advertised for the week end.
The featured cuts on beef will
be rib roasts, round steaks and
boneless pot roasts. Add to that
list all cuts of veal, shoulder
roasts of lamb and shoulder
lamb chops.
Fryers continue to be a good
buy and small stewing chickens,
weighing from 3 to 4 pounds.

chicken this size is particularly
convenient for the small house
hold and offers many possibili-
ties for summer menus. If you're
thinking in terms of chicken
salads, club sandwiches or cur
ries. a fowl this size will yield
about 2l2 to 8 cups of cooked
chicken, cut from the bone. In
making salads. allow about 2
cups of cubed, cooked chicken
for four servings. And have you
ever tried adding the small
Thompson seedless grapes along
with a handful of toasted al
monds to a chicken salad? Puts
it right into the gourmet class.
Heot Hits Produce
Corn, in particular, has been
hit as result of no rain and too
much heat. The corn coming
from the South has passed it's
prime and local corn is suffering.
In the "best buy" class are
carrots. celery, peppers, green
beans, cucumbers and cabbage.
Lettuce and tomatoes, while not
as cheap as a week ago, are still
considered good values. Rambo
apples, the little green ones that
make such good pies, Bartlett
pears, honeydews, cantaloupe,
lemons and California grapes are
the best in the fruit line. We
did see a few baskets of early
damsons and some very early
Concords in one fruit store.
