Calls For Slash In Government Costs Cattlemen's Head Urges Reductions COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. UP — The head of the American National Cattlemen's Assn, today called for "deeper slashes” in government spending and charged that those who clamor for government supports and controls are "taking the bread ftlnn the mouth of our nation.” Sam C. Hyatt, president of the association which opened its annual two-day convention here today, told delegates that "we are on the brink of almost the last chance to put sense into the farm program—a program of freedom and equal economic treatment and less dependence on government.” {Repeating his warning of last summer that government supports and subsidies should be abolished, Hyatt said: “There is but one place for food —the stomach. The clamor for the tax dolalr in subsidy hurts the consumer two ways —it increases his tax burden and raises his cost of living.” Hyatt went on to say that "the producer of food is hurt in still another way—the stored surpluses which seem to inevitably follow a support program, will be a constant threat against his production and welPbeing. “The American people,” Hyatt ■aid, “must ba shocked to the point 'Where tee? regain enough clear hard common sense that they will quit inviting curtail ment of their individual rights.

Door-To-Door Hunt On In Mississippi Three Men Killed By Shooting Negro UEXLNGTON, Miss. UP — .Armed officers conducted a door-to-door search of a wooded farm area today for a sharp-shooting Negro who siwore to take "four white men to hell with me” before killing three. Holmes county sheriff Richard Byrd said a reduced posse bad fanned out over a large scrubby section several miles south of here in the hunt for 28-year-old Kiddie Noel. “We don’t have a single new lead as to his whereabouts,” Byrd said, “but we are checking each farm house carefully.” Noel, who sharpened his shooting eye by shooting paper matches out of his wife’s teeth, killed a grocer, a pursuing deputy and a third man who tried to arrest him. Three other men were wounded by slugs from his .22 caliber rifle. The series of weekend gunbattles brought a 400-man posse into action Monday but the "air-tight-’ cordon they threw around the woods failed to trap the wily Negro. Byrd said the posse was now made up mostly of law enforcement officers with most of the citizen members returning to their homes. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur.

Aufo Workers Pay High To Gamblers 60 Million Dollars Yearly To Gamblers DETROIT, (UP) —Most of the bets are small but the best estimate is that 66 million dollars a year goes into the pockets of gamblers preying on auto workers in the Motor City’s forest of factories. One of the leaders in the fight to Stamp out numbers and mutuels rings, horse betting and even high-priced card games right in the plants has been United Auto Workers’ president Walter P. Reuther. < It is a lush field for gamblers. Naturally they take hard any attempt to flush them. One theory is the gambler# decided Reuther was pushing his campaign too hard and that is why a shotgun charge tore through a window of his home Into his shoulder on April 20, 1948. A syndicate was out to get him. some firmly believe. Reuther, a non-drinker and nonsmoker, is tolerant of the habits of his fellow union officials and members. But his tolerance ends when it comes to gambling. The price in strikes and other efforts to get workers’ w r ages up. he explains, is too high for there wards to be siphoned off by gamblers. After consolidating his position as president of the 1.250,000-mem-ber UAW in 1947, Reuther has waged a continuous campaign against the rackets in auto plants. He pushed through an amendment to the union’s constitution prohibiting any man found gambling inside the plants from ever holding union office. The union’s executive board has made it a policy not to recognize grievances of workers found guilty of gambling. This takes away his right of complaint, no matter how wronged he may have been, because under union-management contracts e worker’s grievance -first is passed on by the union aS to its validity. But the UAW recognizes that penalties are not enough. The workers must be educated to the fact that gambling pays only the gambler. A 32-page booklet now is in the works proving how badly the odds go against bettors in all games of chance. Mutuel games are the most popular.- The bets usually are small and the payoff big—when there is one. The auto worker sees a chance, no matter how small it is, to buy a new. car. make a down payment on a house or send his children to college on a &0-cent or- one dollar bet. And in the auto plant, the gambfer has all his “suckers” close at hand. The runners — persons who accept and payoff bets—-get jobs that permijt them to move about in the plants. A good runner will make from SIOO to $506 a week in addition to his factory pay. Sen. Sparkman To Speak At Portland PORTLAND, Ind., — Sen. John J.

Seek Successor To William Wilkinson Quits As Director Os Vehicle Bureau INDIANAPOLIS UP — Governor Craig asked state traffic safety officials today to recommend a successor to William Wilkinson as director of the state .bureau of motor vehicles. Wilkinson, who resigned Monday,’ held the post a year and quit to return to his real estate business in Kokomo. He had been at odds wih some "of the traffic safety officials who will help select his successor. Sortie of them criticized him privately, complaining the bureau’s revocation section was tardy in removing accident-prone, motorists from the highways.. It was rumofed Wilkinson would be fired at one time, but Craig stood by him. Those rumors werb of sufficient . strength to cause speculation that his resignation was not voluntary, though Craig denied that. Wilkinson said bureau records have been brought up to date during the past year and that the department has bzeen revamped on more efficient lines. Craig said Wilkinson's "untiring efforts have given the department the stature and efficiency necessary to take its proper role in the promotion of traffic safety.” Blood Donor's Name Incorrectly Listed In the list of Red Cross blood donors the name of Gene Girod appeared.

Two Cities Claim Birthplace Os GOP Cities In Michigan And Wisconsin Vie RIPON. Wis. U'P — Ripon/Republicans will go along with the national party leadership if it wants to “give a little recognition” to Jackson, Mich., in celebrating the Republican centennial, but they insist the GOP was born tight here. ’ Jackson, too, claims to be the birthplace, of the Grand Old Party. Mayor Robert Born, who has helped plan the Ripon celebration in observance of the centennial, said “There is nothing we can do It the national committee wants to hold a celebration in both cities.” Born made hte statement after he had learned that the GOP na‘ tional committee had named a centennial commission to. arrange plans for a nationwide observance of the OOP's 109th birthday. He said, however, “We stand on history and there is no question in our minds that Ripon is the birthplace of the party.” In a wordy effort to sldestep_ the long-debated question of the actual birthplace, the commission has diplomatically planned a tentative “je-enactment of the Ripon schoolhouse meeting which Maj. Allah E. Bovay claimed as the real birth of the Republican party.!’ And on July 6, the commission has scheduled “a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the first Republican state convention at Jackson.” The compromise didn’t sound too good to Ripon Republicans. Arthur Hinz, acting chairman of the Fond Du Lac county Republi can party, said “I always understood Ripon was the birthplace of the party, but if the people in Washington want to give Jackson a little recognition by holding a celebration there, Ripon may even send a delegation.” Embassy Attache Skis To His Work" WASHINGTON UP — Sven Backlund, press attache at the Swedish Embassy, skiied 3*4 miles from his home in Silver Spring, Md., to his office at the embassy Monday.
