South Likely To Go Solid For Stevenson No Indications Os Eisenhower Taking Any Southern State WASHINGTON (UP)-It is just two weeks until presidential election day and' Democratic candidate Adlai E. Stevenson seems to have in the bag nearly half the electoral votes he would need to win. He would need 266. The usaully sold South will cast 128 when the votes are in. Solid South is a meaningful phrase in this election year. Herbert Hoover’s Republican presidential candidacy wou Southern electoral votes In 1928. President Eisenhower carried four Southern states in 1952. If there is a Republican trend in the South this year. It is proceeding with a minimum of noise and with even less leadership. Florida is the Southern state most often suggested this year as a possible source of Republican electoral votes. Mr. Eisenhower won Florida in 1952 plus Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. Had those states favored Stevenson in 1952, Mr. Eisenhower’s electoral vote plurality merely would have been reduced from 353 to 296. Mr. Eisenhower's totQl, vpte was 442. In the closer contest generally forecast for this year, a shift of four states with 57 electoral votes among them could make the difference between victory and defeat. The Southern states generally are being conceded to Stevenson for cause. Thpre are no powerfuF Southern Democratis actively opposing his candidacy this year as there were in 1952. Gov. Allan Shivers led the 1952 Texas rebellion against Stevenson. Shivers is anti-Stevenson in this year's contest, but the Texas governor in the closing months of his term of office is not now powerful state leader he was four years ago. Mr. Eisenhower had the Tidelands oil issue going for him in Texas in 1952. There is no sucK issue this year to persuade Texas, to Vote Republican. Sen. Harry F. Byrd is the leader of VirgfiifaV•B^fttlferihc’W:t^. : Byrd's contribution to Mr. Eisenhower's 1952 campaign was announcement on Oct. 17 of that year that he could not support Stevenson for the presidency. Virginia voted with its party leader. Byrd's efforts this year have been in behalf of the election of 1 a Democratic congress, in all the South there is no politician of Byrd's stature ealling on the voters to break their traditional party ties in this presidential election. No bolt is in sight although Republican party strategists tell themselves thaf Mr. Eisenhower’s personal popularity may count for something substantial below the Mason and Dixon line. If not, then Stevenson goes into election day with a head start of 128 electoral votes and needing only 138 of the 408 electoral outside the South to be elected president. Four big Northern states plus Rhode Island could put Stevenson in the White Housd 1 and make Sen. Estes Kefauver vice president of the United States.

Sam Raybum Blisters Ike On Bomb Issue Accuses President Os Hasty Rejection Os Bulganin's Offer WASHINGTON (UP) — Speaker Sam Rayburn charged today that P?efeideht EisenhWer is refusing to help save the world from atomic death. The Texas Democrat leveled the charge in a statement endorsing Adlai E. Stevenson’s proposal that the United States take the lead in seeking an end to H-bomb tests. Rayburn, like Stevenson, accused Mr. Eisenhower of acting too hastily in rejecting Soviet Premier Nikolai A. Bulganin’s offer of last Friday to negotiate on halting H-bomb tests. “The real issue,” Rayburn said, "is not whether the Russians sought to interfere in our political debate” with their proposal, as Mr. Eisenhower charged. “The real issue is how we can find away to save the world from atomic death.” Rayburn said. “Mr. Eisenhower owes it to his country to address himself to that issue.” Stevenson used a similar line in attacking Mr. Eisenhower’s rejection of the Bulganin offer. He said Monday he shared Mr. “resentment” at Bulganin for making his offer in the midst of the political campaign. But he said he regards the Presidents reply to Bulganin “unfortu-

nate” when viewed "not from the standpoint of politics, but of peace.” The real issue, Stevenson said, “is not Bulganin’s manners or Russian views about American politics. The real issue is what are we going to do to save the world from hydrogen disaster.” “I think we should do whatever is necessary either to close this vital matter here and now or to expose Mr. Bulganin's insincerity to the world.” Stevenson said. Mr. Eisenhower has maintained there can be no effective ban on nuclear teats until there is an agreement on an arms inspection system —a plan the Russians steadfastly oppose. Former Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York backed up Mr. Eisenhower Monday night. He said that if Russia broke a ban on such tests, she would have an 8-to-14 month lead over this country because it would take that long for the United States to get ready to resume its own tests. Such a lead, Dewey said, might permit a Soviet 'breakthrough to a brand new type of weapon" that could destroy the Unitde States. He said that even if the Russians got only a two-week lead, “we could be wiped out in two weeks.” Two-Year-Old Boy Is Choked To Death COLUMBUS, Ind.

Postpone Auction Os Hodge's Hotel Study Possibility Some Loot Hidden CHICAGO (UP) —The auction of imprisoned state auditor Orville E. Hodge’s lavish Esquire Hotel, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., has been postponed for lack of a $550,000 caliber bidder, while authorities pondered the possibility that Hodge hid some of his loot. Special Ass. Atty. Gen. Albert E. Jenner said Monday, during a dramatie circuit court setting of the auction, that experts have been unable to trace some of the money Hodge stole from the state of Illinois to Us “ultimate resting place.” “It's entirely possible,” said Jenner, “that Hodge has hidden it some place or that it has wound up in someone's grimy paws.” Jenner said the untraceable amount could not now be estimated but that it could be a “sizeable sum.” The Esquire Hotel, which has been offered for sale by the state as partial restitution for the more than one-million-doliars' embezzled by Hodge, was Valued by appraisers at $660,000. What apparently scared bidders away, howeve. was a $200,000 mortgage against the building, officials said. Trade in a Good Tows — Decatm
