DALLAS, Tex, June IA Pl.-
Texas old Democratic Party
feud blazed high. wide and
angry today as Democratic Ma
tional Committee Chairman
Paul M. Butler started his six
day Texas peace tour
Mr.. Butler tried to calm the
snarling party members last
night soon after arrival from
Portland, Greg. He said he
would meet Gov. Allan Shivers
"or any other State officials" in
any of the Texas cities on his
tour.
Earlier, Gov. Shivers said Mr.
Buffers rejection of a luncheon
invitation for Austin June &c
was "regrettable for the future
of the Democratic Party"
Gov. Shivers in 1852 led the
party machinery in Texas-with
it's votes-into the Dwight D
Eisenhower camp. Texas went
Republican for the second time
since the Civil War. Texas
Democrats have been divided
sharply since.
Gov Shivers last night accused
the Texas Democratic Advisory
Council, sponsoring Mr.. Buffers
trip, of trying to keep the ma
tional chairman from hearing
both sides of the party fuss. Gov.
Shivers. State Democratic Chair
man George Sandlin and Mrs.
Hilda Weinert, Texas national
committeewoman, already had
said they would attend none of
the Butler meetings.
Mr.. Butler said at a press
conference he already had talked
twice with Gov. ShiverS con-
corning the party split, once at
the Democratic Governors Con-
ference in Washington and the
next day at a breakfast honoring
Speaker Sam Rayburn, Demo-
crat, of Texas. Of the June 20
luncheon he said. "It was i'm

"The fighter and bomber
planes already in production in

He declined to talk about the

NEW YORK, June IA (P.-
A top Air Force general said last

grave possibility" that Russia
might perfect "a new super in

He added this could be a most
difficult advantage to overcome.

deputy chief of staff for develop

about the small size of our ma

that we can no longer be COM
Iplacent in going about our re-
search and development of

The generals opinions, voiced
in a speech before the Poly
technic Institute of Brooklyn,
appeared somewhat different
from recently expressed views on
research by Secretary of Defense
Wilson.
Gen. Puts statements ap-
peared more in line with a re-
cent report by the Hoover Com
mission on Government Reor-
ganization, which criticized the
military services for insufficient
daring and imagination in
their approach to radically new

opposition should get no publicity
another departure from the
more objective journalistic code
of the present.
During the summer and fall,
the SENTINEL kept up steady
barrage of 'hot shot" against the
Know Nothings. AS was common
then and as is still in vogue
among the politicians, the tone
of the editorials in behalf of the
Union ticket grew steadily more
confident until the unWary
reader might have concluded
that the Know Nothing opposi-
ton in the county had entirely
disappeared.
Such. however, was not the
case. In the SENTINEL issue
of Nov. II, 1855 - after the cleo
ton r. we learn that there indeed
many Know Nothings. In fact,
they had carried many offices in
Maryland.
Matthew and his Unionists had
been able to hold Montgomery
County out of the clutches of the
rivals, though, and Mr.. Fields
took considerable satisfaction in
his editorial of Nov. II, 1855,
which said:

The editorial in question closed
with the following ringing ap.
peal:
"VOters of Montgomery, we
beseech you to ponder on these
things; to look around among
the patriotic men of the Demo
cratic Party and the old Wing

honor there is i'm the Union
