Wanna Race?

There can be no doubt about
it, it rained yesterday. All day
long our phones rang and per-
picked voices asked if the pic
mic was on or off and since we
received no official word (no
word at all in fact) we spread
the rumor that the picnic was
going on full force as planned.
The switchboard operator at
City Hall reports that she had
the same problem. We can
only hope that we were tell
ing the truth.
Race results? Ball game
results? Don't even know if
they came off as scheduled
(no one let US in one that valu-
able in f or m at ion either)
Grounds looked a little wet for
such activity but some of the
hardy souls may have insisted
on going through with them as
planned. If that is the case you
will have the results next week
The drawings were scheduled
to be held in the dance hall
(where there would be plenty OF
seats for everyone) and were to
begin promptly at 1880. If some
one was good enough to remem-
ber that we were holding the
paper up waiting for the grand
prize winner we may be lucky
enough to get that news in
while it's still newsy.
Absolutely no interference
was expected for the indoor
exhibits and activities.

TAX PLAN SABOTAGES
METRO
By John B. McDermOtt
Herald Political Writer

Had County Manager o. W,
Campbell set out to sabotage
Metro deliberately he could
hardly have done a better
propaganda job than his pro-
posal for a one-cent county
sales tax.
If there is one thing which
the people are fed up hearing,
1t is that Metro needs more
taxes to operate.
Metro was created to solve
the proble ms Of Greater
Miami's growth - to provide
reasonable countrywide, pro-
gressive services which the
various municipalities were un-
able to achieve Of any sort Of
a uniform basis.
Metro is making some
definite progress. 1t is not as
fast, by any means, as the
people would like it. In fact,
the slOwness is downright
discOuraging' at times. But
we still are hopeful.
Then comes a body blow such
as delivered by Manager Camp
bell. He says a one-cent sales
tax would be financial life
saver. This corner, with a view
based on public reaction, be-
lieves it would be a guillotine
for Metro.
Campbelrs suggestion came
during an interview with The
Herald's Leo Adde on the man.

dollars, the impact on the gen.

Jack kofoed Says:
They Keep Asking For
More Tax SIS


What has happened to the
original concept of Metropoli.
tan government? The theory
was that by combining services
of any many municipalities
and eliminating those which
overlap, taxes could be kept
down.
Duplication still exists.
High priced executives have
been added to the payroll.
Hump" Campbell is sug-
gesting a county sales tax to
be piled atop the state i'm
post. Real estate millage
will be upped next year. and
it's an old trick to boost
assessments to pry out still
more money.
The idea Of Metro makes
sense, and people voted for IT
in a belief that it would save
them from being taxed into
oblivion. Let's not go whole
hog in an effort to initiate
the federal plan of spending
ourselves into prosperity, and
then into bankruptcy. Can't we
find at least an approximation
of what Metro started out to
be? After we get a county
sales tax, someone will want a
county income tax, and other
money dredging plans will be
Matched in the minds of those
who run our affairs. We can't
stand still, but we can race
ourselves into financial heart
failure.

Brought up on farm in
Massachusetts, Dion could un-
derstand the plight of farmer
Dan Miller who was in the
hospital with his leg in a cast
when Dion first met him. Re-
alizing that Miller's young
daughters wouldn't be able to
get all the farm chores done
that needed doing, Dion volun-
teered his help on the 265-acre
farm.
Miller was able to help
the young teacher with his
profession by getting him
chickens, ducks, calves, pigs,
lambs, baby raccOOns, and
even a red fox to show the
city-bred youngsters. Dion,
who doesn't teach strictly
according to the written text,
enjoys the interest that the
elementary-age children show
when discovering something
new. Although he has full
filled the qualifications for
college teaching, he prefers
teaching at the elementary
level because the children are
not "apathetic as those in the
higher grades are"

johnson Shuns Dixie
As Democrats Dine

While the announced Demo-
cratic presidential candidates
were away advancing their own
campaigns. the spotlight at last
nights Congressional Dinner
here fell on Senator Lyndon
johnson of Texas.
The Senator, who has been
thought Of by some in his party
as too Southern for the presi-
dency, neatly divorced himself
from Dixie-at least for the
evening.
AS the orchestra swung
through the various songs of
the States, Senator johnson
arose each time-with one
notable exception.
When THE Eyes of Texas
Are Upon You" was played, the
Senator stood and waved his
napkin. When the Missouri
Waltz" was played, he stood
alongside Harry Truman and
waved, leading one woman to
comment: "He never misses a
chance, does hep"
But when Dixie" was
played, and Southerners
throughout the Armory arose
with a whoop and twirling of
napkins, Senator Johnson
quietly remained seated, eating
his pineapple.
The traditionally convivial
Democrats. who like to call
themselves the Party of the
People" also enjoy a simple
game or two when they gather
to enrich the party's Golfers.
Last night was no exception.
Donkey Serenade" was the
game, and it was easy to play,
a handbill informed the pay
ing guests.
Here's how it worked:
Ushers delivered a cardboard
Democratic donkey, complete
with barn, to each table. The
host at each table auctioned off
the donkey to the highest bid
der.
The money realized will be
divided between the Senate and

Committees.

Rsion. and we all know it will
have to be a Democrat"
Mr.. Truman declined to
hame his personal choice for
the Democratic presidential
domination. He merely said
there are many in the party
who are qualified.
But. in pointing to what
kind of man should be nom
mated, he gave his indirect
appraisal of Mr.. Nixon.
Mr.. Truman said that some
people are saying the Dem
bcratic majoritieS in Congress
are so large that they are bound
to be reduced in November
election. But ! don't believe
1t. I believe we are going to
have more Democrats in the
next Congress than we do in
this one"
Mr.. Truman noted that
funds from the dinner will be
used to aid in the election OF
Democrats to Congress. and
said: 1T could be dedicated
to no better cause" )"
Referring to specific issues
for the election, he stressed the
farm problem, tight money and
high interest rates and water
pollution.
Whenever the Democrats
tried to pass a good BILL" he
said. "the Republicans usually
fought it and stalled it and
delayed it.
And when-aS was some
times the case-the Democrats
managed to pass the bill any,
way, only to have it vetoed, the
Republicans in Congress al
most to a man voted to sus-
tain the veto"
House Speaker Rayburn, who
said he rarely writes a speech
although he prepared one for
delivery tonight, cast it aside
for a general attack of the Re-
publican Party and President
Eisenhower personally.
OF President Eisenhower, he
said: His 40 years in the Army
did little to qualify him for the
presidency of the United
States"
After attacking the Re-
publican record in Congress,
he stated that the Old Guard
has taken over the Republican
party again. boots and britches.
If you don't think so, ask my
friend Nelson Rockefeller"
Mr.. Rayburn remarked that
after writing his speech, Mr.
Truman and Senator Johnson
must have gotten an advance
look at it, "for they said every
thing I had in it." And with
that the Speaker launched into
his extemporaneous attack or
the COP.
Both Mr.. Truman anc
Speaker Rayburn, in the pre-
pared text he ignored, tossed
barbs at the Republican farm

OKLAHOMA CITY. April 80
! AP).-Oklahoma's State Dem
ocratic Convention slapped
down Gov. ]. Howard Edmond
son today. then barely picked
him up as it named a national
convention delegation favoring
Senator johnson of Texas for
President.
! AS a noisy minority group of
Edmondson supporters from
Tulsa enlivened proceedings,
the convention:
/. Kicked out Gov. Edmond
son and four supporters, all of
whom had been named nation
al convention delegates by the
first congressional district COM
mittee last night.
2. Unseated the Tulsa County
delegation favoring Gov. Ed
mondson and replaced it with
a group instructed to vote for
anti-Edmondson delegates.
8. Went on record opposing
all three of the Governors ini-
tiative petitions for changes in
State government.
4. Commended just about
every elective officer in the
State except the Governor.
S. Then relented a little and
named Gov. Edmondson a dele
gate at-large but named State
Chairman Gene McGill of Alva
to head the delegation.
The So delegates chosen to-
day and last night will each
have one-half vote at the
Democratic National Conven-
ton.
Bound by the unit rule, Okla
homa'S 20 votes will be cast
for a single candidate. A poll
of delegates showed most
favored Senator johnson, with
Senator Symington of Missouri
a popular second choice.
There were 81 outspoken
johnson supporters, with most
naming Senator Symington as
second choice.
Most of the remaining dele
gates could be considered ia
vorable to Senator johnson.
Senator Kennedy of Massa-
chusetts received no public sup
port.
Gov. Edmondson. who lost
control of the party to Mr.
McGill in February precinct
and county meetings. was in
New York over the week end.
The slim forces of the "a
lyear-old reform Governor took
a terrific pasting during the
morning session of the con-
vention.
But after the noon recess
some of his most outspoken
critics urged Gov. Edmondson
be named one of the IS dele
gates at-large. The convention
applauded the suggestion in an
apparent attempt to end the
meeting on a harmonious note.

one-no matter how hard he
tried-could make as big a
mess out of anything as Sec
retary Benson has made of the
farm program, Mr.. Truman
charged.
Mr.. Rayburn said the Ben
son policies are putting the
small farmer out of business. 4"
In his prepared speech, Mr..
Rayburn rebuked Democratic
Chairman Paul M. Butler. Al
though he did not refer to Mr..
Butler by name. there was no
question about whom Mr.. Ray
burn referred to when he said !:
Some of us have been ir-
responsible and ill-advised in
recent months. Some people
have gone around talking about
driving other Democrats out
of the party. Others have said
publicly that this candidate or
that candidate can't be elected
if nominated"
Mr.. Butler, who plans to
step down from his party Job
after the July national con-
vention. repeatedly has pre-
dicted that Senator Kennedy
of Massachusetts, will win the
presidential nomination at Los
Angeles.
He also is opposed to Senator
johnson of Texas, whom Mr..
Rayburn supports.
Senator johnson introduced
Mr.. Truman as a President who
made Government work and
did not sit and wiring his
hands" when faced with diff
cult decisions.
BY inference, Senator John
son compared with Mr.. Tru-
mans record his own expert
Ience with divided Government
as Senate majority leader.
''We can always be proud
that we tried to make divided
Government work." Senator
johnson said. 1T would have
been deceptively simple to have
taken advantage of divided
Government to seek to embar-
raSs the opposition. 1t would
have been an easy matter to
haraSs, to obstruct and to
throw up road blocks.
THE American people know
which of the two parties put
the Nation above politics
which of the two parties tried
to make Government work"
The Democrats singled out
four veteran Senate and House
members for special mention
and honors:
Senator Hayden of Arizona,
whose 48 years in House and
Senate give him the longest
unbroken span of service in
history.
