OBITUARY

Arthur Harold Hopkins, son
of the late Sheridan and Vina

tember %, 1908 and passed away
very suddenly at his home near
Stafford Saturday morning
April q, 1856 at the age of So

On June 6, 1926 he was united

Edna; two sons, Ward and Gar
old of the family home; two
sisters, Mrs. Stella Gildow OF
Caldwell route' and Mrs. Ethel
Sumers Of Columbus: three
brothers, Walter of Byesville:
Ray OF Dublin and Harry OF
Detroit, Mich.
We are SorroWed at the pass
ing of this loved one, but we are
content to say it is Gods will.
He was a loving father and
leaves many friends with loving
memories Of him.
Now the laborer'S task is DER;
Now the battle day is past:
Now upon the further shore
Lands the voyage at last.
There the tears of earth are
dried,
There its hidden things are
clear
There the work Of life is tried
By a juster Judge than here.
Earth TO earth and dust to
dust.
Plainly now the words we
say:
Left behind, we wait in trust
For the resurrection day.
Card of Thanks
The family wishes to express
their deep appreciation to all of
their neighbors and friends who

In Staying

FAYETTEVILLE, N. c., Mar,

year prison sentence after his
conviction of manslaughter in
the fatal shooting of motel

21a hours.
Judge Williams, in passing
said the shooting was
"inexcusable. The self de-
fense tale doesn't register with
me. MY reaction is that the man
(Collins) went there Ito the
moteD to rob the manager, but
the manager fought him off. :"
The State had contended that
Sergt. Collins shot Richard Earl
manager of the Siesta
Motor Court, in a robbery at
tempt. The sergeant admitted
he shot Mr.. Sanford. but in
sisted it was in self-defense.
He said Mr.. Sanford picked
up a chair and advanced on
him when Mr.. Collins protested
the price of a room.

Fire Sweeps Chapel
lin Ohio Seminary

CINCINNATI, Mar. 81 R.-
Fire destroyed part of the oldest
building at st. Gregory Seminary
here early today and officials
were doubtful if classes could re-
sumo on schedule next Thursday
Msgr Robert j. Sherry, semi
nary rector, said. 1--WE can't servs
any meals now, our chapel is
gone. I doubt if We'll be able
to OPEN"

boiler room of the seminary's
main hall, destroyed the kitch-
ems, dining rooms, chapel, recre-
alton rooms and some living
quarters.
Fire Chief Barney Houston
estimated the loss at "at least
$3.50. 100"
The schools 298 students were
on Easter vacations.
The rector said that lack of
water at first helped the fire
get headway.
Msgr. Sherry said one of the
biggest losses was the personal
library of Msgr. Charles Spence.
He said the library numbered
about 10000 volumes. mostly on
classical studies. and was cir
replaceable."

THOMAS 1. STOKES
Grass Roots Enthusiasm Faces DefIotion
At April Meeting With Leaders Here

The schizophrenia - fancy
name for split personality
with which the Democratic
Party currently is suffering
will be dramatized in mid
April when local party leaders
from all over the country
gather here for a conclave and
a $100-a-plate dinner in cele-
bration of the Woodrow Will
son centennial.
1t will be easy to recognize
the contrast between the virile,
dynamic, let's-get-going spirit
Of the Democratic Party back
at the grass roots, represented
by the visiting local leaders,
and the apathetic, listless and
timid Democratic Party as rep
resented by its leaders in Con-
greSS.
They are, in fact, two differ
ent parties. And. unless the
grass roots branch can infuse
some of its energy and enthu-
sias1n into the leaders here
and inspire Congress to make
some kind Of a record on is
sues important to the Nation
and its people, the Democratic
Party will fail in its respon-
sibility and could toss away
the coming election by default.
In truth, the process may
work in the reverse. National
Chairman Paul M. Butler may
be taking a big chance in sum-
moning the local leaders here
April 20 and 81. That will ex-
pose them to the paralyzing
lack of initiative and imagi-
nation of national party lead
erS, who are so anxious to
avoid controversy within their
own ranks that they stand for
almost nothing.
The shade of Woodrow Will
son hardly would be comfort
able at a dinner in his honor
if too many of these live ghosts
are there.

"The Middle Man"

nothing of the billions it has
cost the taxpayer to buy these
products.
1t is true that too many
farmers have been spoiled
through the farm price sup
port plan, but you cannot
blame the farmers for this
mess. Through political ma
neuvering, they were led into
this present predicament.
Can this farm mess be
cured by a simple farm law?
The answer definitely is mo-.
What does a dairyman have
in common with the citrus
grower? A wheat raiser with
an orchardist? A ten thousand
acre rancher with a ten acre
gardener? The markets, opera
tions, tools and price problems
are all different. Trying to
write q farm law to solve the
farm problem is as silly as
treating all sick people with
the same medicine. The only
solution to this Infamous farm
mess would be to abolish it in
its entirety and set the Ameri-
can farmer free to return to
his original supply and de-
mand policy and stop this
trend toward creeping social
ism.

Nomination in the End

IF.-Senator Kefauver, Demo-

to Washington today after as
suring home State supporters in
his race for President that I'VE
will get the nomination in the

In a 24-hour stopover en- route
from New Mexico to Washing

this schedule:
A press conference, formal
opening Of his Tennessee presi-
Dental campaign headquarters, a
private dinner with friends, a

Tenn, and a visit with his ailing
father in Madisonville, Tenn.
At his press conference here.
Senator Kefauver said his pros
poets for the Democratic nomi-
nation look brighter every day."
He said his refusal to sign the
Southern manifesto would
cost him some votes in the Flori-
da primary. but this would be
balanced by votes of others who
approved. He competes with
Adlai Stevenson for Florida's
convention delegates May 30.

Scott Foresees
Nixon on Ticket

Vice President Nixon appears
today about as sure of renomi-
nation on the Republican ticket
as any candidate could be four
and one-half months before the
party's national convention.
Representative Scott of Penn
sylvania, former Republican ma
tional chairman, dimmed further
the hopes of those who might
wish to replace Mr.. Nixon as he
predicted last night the Vice
President again will be Presi-
dent Eisenhower's running mate.
"The convention alone will
make It's choice" Mr.. Scott said
in a CHS radio interview, but he
added: II think the ticket will
be Eisenhower and Nixon"
Mr.. Scott is looked upon as a
member of the liberal wing of
the G. o. p, from which most
suggestions for dumping Mr..
Nixon repeatedly have come in
the past.
The Pennsylvania House mem
ber also is close to former Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey Of New York.
whom some of Mr.. Nixon's
friends have named as one OF
those who wanted to change the
No. 2 nominee.
The dump-Nixon movement
has slumped sharply since Mr..
Eisenhower told a news confer
ence March IA that he would be
happy to be on any political
ticket on which he was a candi-
date with Mr.. Nixon.
Mr.. Nixon got more than 22,-
900 write-in votes in the March
13 New Hampshire primary even
before Mr.. Eisenhower made
that statement.
Disclosure yesterday that
about 4,50O Republican ballots
were ruined in the March 20
Minnesota primary, partly by
efforts of voters to write in the
names of vice presidential cam
didates. was interpreted in some
quarters as another sign that Mr..
Nixon is popular with the
G. o. P. rank and file.
Mr.. Nixon's position in the
shadow of Mr.. Eisenhower ap-
parently has been made more
secure by private Republican
polls. These party samplings
are said to have indicated that
Democratic criticism of the Vice
President has not penetrated

Surface transportation be-
tween Washington and Wash
ington National Airport costs
ST per person in limousines
and $3.50 per person in taxi
cabs. Running time is about
80 minutes. Surface tranSpor-
tation between Washington
and the proposed Burke air.
port would probably be more
than double the above figures,
unless buses were used, and
running time would PROBABLY
be one hour, or longer during
periods of peak traffic density
in the vicinity of the river
crossings.
Baltimore has invested mil
lions in the construction and
operation of Friendship In
ternational Airport. Much Of
the potential capacity OF this
fine airport is not being util-
lied at the present time, due
to lack of sufficient air traftic
to permit full utilization.
To provide attractive sur
face transportation between
Washington and Friendship,
with fast, frequent, low-cost
service, arrange with the Penn
sylvania Railroad for con-
struction of a branch line to
Friendship, where suitable pas
senger loading and unloading
facilities would be provided.
Procure a suitable number OF
Budd RDC rail cars, which are
self-propelled, hig h-speed
units. Trip mileage would be
approximately 80 miles. Run
ming time should not exceed 35
minutes when made nonstop.
One-way fare could probably
be ste at so to rs cents. con-
siderably less TINA highway
transport fare.
