Connally Seeking Texas Governorship

DALLAS (UPD—John Connally, President Kennedy’s first secretary of the Navy, is running hard and scared for the governorship of Texas. One look at the political polls tells Democrat Connally he has a two year lease on the governor’s mansion in Austin. But a closer look at the voters tells him he still may be living in his hometown at Fort Worth after the votes are counted. Much depends on what Connally does between now and the Nov 6 general election. One big mistake and a Demo-crat-turned - Republican named Jack Cox could be Texas’ first GOP governor since Reconstruction. It is a battle of personalities. A Smooth Talker Connally is gray, handsome, and a smooth talker. Cox is wiry, determined and a smooth talker. Talk may be the deciding fator. Texans were exposed to the Kennedy-Nixon debate, and they liked the show. Since then television stations have been after Connally and Cox to debate. Cox says , ‘yes," Connally “no.” Connally is one of Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson’s closest confidantes. Cox is using this against him. Cox is the former executive director of the conservative group “Freedom in action.” Connally uses this as a political weapon. The GOP, maneuvering for the liberal Texas vote by promoting the two- party system, keep whacking Johnson. They have distributed an automobile bump-1 er sticker which reads —“Scratch I Lyndon’s by John,” with the capital letters “LBJ” in glowing print Intense City Organizer Connally, an attorney for the late Wheeler-dealer Sid Richardson and a former oil and gas lobbyist in Washington, maintains I ]

he is independent from Vice President Johnson. But his campaign style is patterned after the vice president’s he is a hand-shaker, a “howdy-do-er” in the country clubs, and an intense organizer in the cities. Cox looks just like he crawled off an oil well drilling rig, which is his business. He has won awards for his speeches about American heritage. He likes to pick up a guitar and strum a Western tune. This tactic has been known to 1 win elections in Texas. Elsewhere in the Southwest:

, Oklahoma: Republicans are - making a determined bid in Okla--1 homa, the Democratic stronghold > of Sn. Robert Kerr, to elect Henry Bellmon as governor. It ; would be an upset victory for the i 41-year-old farmer from Billings, s The Democratic choice, and r favorite at this time, is W. j (Bill) Atkinson, 55, a builder and - housing developer that had to • fight down to the wire to beat former Gov. Raymond Gary. The vote was so close a rer count was necessary in the primary balloting. Gary refused to campaign 1 for Atkinson after the recount, t but said he supports the Demo- - cratic ticket. Their quarrel was - over a sales tarn —a levy Atkinson proposes to increase from two to three cents. An independent, L. Richard zavits of Tulsa, also is on the bal ’ lot for governor. A. S. (Mike) Monroney, incum- > bent junior senator, faces 40-year r old Republican B. Hayden Craw- - ford of Tulsa and Paul V. Beck, • 71, a Tulsa independent. : There are contests for only four of the six congressional seats. No ■ Republican filed against either Rep. Carl Albert, Democratic House majority leader, or Rep. Tom Steed, and botl automatically win reelection. New Mexico: The “Land of Enchantment” is a question mark as far as the November gubernatorial election is concerned. It is a battle between two former FBI agents in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans 2% to 1, but where Gov. I Edwin Mechem, a Republican, has served four consecutive terms and is fighting for a fifth. The major issue is the state’s deficit. Mechem urges a tax increase. The Democrats oppose it. Mechem won with a big smile and a “just call me big Ed” ap- 1 proach.

His opponent is Jade Campbell, who appears to have voter appeal. Like Mechem, he is a former FBI agent. Further, he was a combat Marine in the Pacific, former state House speaker and has proved to be an effective campaigner. Arkansas: Gov. Orval E. Faubus, toned down and more moderate since his battle with the federal government over school integration in 1957, swamped the Democratic field to win the nomination without a runoff and is all | but assured of an unprecedented ..... .

Resolutions Passed At Legion Conclave LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPD—Delegates to the American Legion’s - 44th annual national convention : passed dozens of resolutions • Wednesday but waited until tol day to act on their most controt versial issue — whether or not t spoken prayers should be allowed » in public schools. Action on the prayer resolution I was postponed because of the absence of many delegates on the I convention floor when the issue • arose. t Specifically, the resolution requests Congress to enact legisla- - tion “that would enable spoken ■ prayer of a free and voluntary nature to be said in any and i. every location and place, includ- , ing public schools, where citizens • of the United States may gather, ( so that all persons may recognize • a supreme being.” t Another controversy arose over the resolution condemning “runa- ■ way” motion picture production in 1 foreign countries. 'Die measure asked for congressional legislation - to curtail distribution of such f films in the United States. The motion was approved but . only after deleting for the resolution title, words which repre- ■ sentatives from Italy and France > felt might be misconstrued to f indicated their countires were : sympathetic to communism. Other resolutions passed by the - delegates: —Recommended full congres- ■ sional support of the House Un- : American Activities Committee. —Asked the U.S. Justice Department to continue and vigorously pursue prosecution of Communists who fail to register with the proper agencies. —Proclaimed the legion’s determination to fight communism. —Called for investigation of the Black Muslim movement —Protested the promotion of gatherings of such subversive organizations as the American Nazi party on college and university campuses. —Called for an investigation of the American Civil Liberties Union. —Declared Oct. 23 of each year as United States Day. —Reaffirming support of the loyalty oath provision of the National Defense Education Act.

Winnie Judd Search Centers On Phoenh 1 PHOENIX, Ariz. (UPD -The search for escaped trunk murderess Winnie Ruth Judd today centered in Phoenix although detectives said they were checking a report that the former “tiger woman” may have fled to Minnesota. Police said they suspected the 57-year-old inmate of the Arizona State Mental hospital still was in the Phoenix arae. Police said past information indicated Mrs. Judd never learned to drive a car and when last seen had only $5 in her possession which would rule out air or train travel to Minnesota. Investigators also pointed out that in six previous escape attempts the woman never left Phoenix. All available law enforcement officers were alerted to participate in the search for Mrs. Judd, who was convicted of slaying her two roommates in 1931. She was originally sentenced to hang but was judged insane and committed to the state mental hospital for life.

fifth term. Willis Ricketts, Fayetteville Republican, is his opponent, but is given little or no chance to unseat Faubus. Veteran Democratic Sen. J. William Fulbright was an overwhelming favorite to beat Dr. Kenneth Goss Jones, 43, a Little Rock Conservative Republican, in a senatorial contest. Louisiana* Sen. Russell Long, son of Huey (The Kingfish) and nephew of Earl, appears to face little trouble in his race for a third term and another member of the long clan has appeared on the scene. ~ , Russell’s cousin—Gillis Long—is making a bid for a seat in Congress—and odds are that he will win. Rep. Otto Passman, the congressman who prides himself in ax-work on foreign aid programs, has no opposition. Rep. Hale Boggs, another fixture in the House, had a tough primary fight but coasts from here on in.

Welsh To Call In Business Leaders INDIANAPOLIS (UPD —Governor Welsh said today he will call soon a conference of “our leading business, civic and university leaders” to examine Indiana’s economy and plan a speedup of industrial development in the “new age of science and technology.” Welsh made the announcement in a statement issued in connection with a Department of Defense meeting in Chicago. The governor said the Midwest's share of defense contracts declined sharply in recent years, particularly in Indiana, but “increased significantly’ 'in the past year. >■ “Indiana can become a great center for research and production in the aero-space age,” Welsh said. “If we are to keep abreast of the new technology we must creat a favorable and receptive climate for it. This will require the cooperation of our universities, private industry and government at all levels.” v .- • He said the conference he plans to call “in the near future” will insure that the cooperation exists

Civil Service Work Dale At Fort Wayne J. A. Connor, director, Chicago region, U. S. civil service commission. Chicago, 111., and R. John Boch, the postmaster at the Decatur post office, announced today that information about employment opportunities with the federal government will no longer be available at the Decatur post office after Dec. 1,1962. Connor stated that the discontinuance of the Decatur post office as a point where federal em* ployment information has been available in the past is part of the continuing efforts on the part of the government to operate as efficiently and economically as possible. He indicated that persons interested in getting information about federal employment opportunities after December 1 should visit the Fort Wayne post office. Connor took this occasion to praise the postmaster and Francis Costello, an employe at the Decatur post office who has been giving federal employment information to the public. He stated that their efforts to acquaint all interested citizens in the opportunities for federal employment had been of significant benefit to the civil service commission and the entire federal service.

No Confirmation Os Cuban Port Raided

MIAMI (UPD — Cuban exile sources here today could not confirm New York reports of an exile raid on the Cuban port of Isabela de Sagua Monday night. The Alpha 66 group, which staged an earlier seaborne raid on a Cuban port, said Wednesday it inflicted 20 casualties on a military installation housing Russians and Cuban militiamen.

Alpha 66 spokesmen here had nothing to add to the New York announcement. But other sources believed the only raid against Cuba in recent days was a quick attack by a small boat which fired some shots along the Cuban coast and then sped away. The Alpha 66 statement said its raiders dynamited a railway switch yard, the military arsenal and the commissary, and “four other strategic points” at the Cuban north coast port. It said the raiders seized Russian arms and flags from the main office building of the installation, which was surrounded by trenches and lighted, by .searchlights. The last attack of Alpha 66 was a hit-run torpedo boat raid on another north coast port several weeks ago.

Demands Probe Os Reports Os Ransom WASHINGTON (UPI) — A Republican House member today demanded a congressional investigation of reports that the U. S. government bright pay part of the ransom for Cuban invasion prisoners. Rep. William C. Cramer, RFla., asked for immediate hearings on negotiations between New York attorney James B. Donovan and Cuban Premier Fidel Castro for release of the prisoners. He made the demand in identical letters to Chairmen Clarence Cannon, D. - Mo., of the House Appropriations Committee and Thomas Morgan, D-Pa., of the House Foreign Affairs committee. Cramer said he was deeply disturbed by the negotiations, especially by reports of proposals to pay some of the ransom in dollars from CIA funds. “This is about the greatest abuse of presidential discretion as I can remember in the history of this country,” Cramer wrote. He said he never had voted for any bill “that would permit the President to . . give in to blackmal threats by an enemy government and, in particular, Fidel Castro.”

Acquitted Os Slaying Because Os Insanity AUBURN, Ind. (UPI) — Adam Rowe, 39, was acquitted by reason of insanity Wednesday in the July 7 shotgun slaying of his wife.

Even Money Quoted On Friday's Game NEW YORK (UPl)—The oddsmakers today quoted “even money’” in man-to-man betting on Friday’s ’sixth game of the World Series at San Francisco. It was the first time since this bestof-seven series between the New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants opened last week that the Yankees were not favored before a game. However, New York is favored at 7-2, in man-to-man wagering, to win the series, now that the Yanks are ahead 3-2 in games.

Pension Bill Is Signed By Pres. Kennedy

WASHINGTON (UPD— Starting Jan. 1, doctors, lawyers, farmers and other self-employed persons will be allowed to claim tax deductions on part of the money they save for retirement. Treasury - opposed legislation permitting self-employed persons to set up tax-deductible private pension funds became aw later Wednesday when President Kennedy signed the measure. Some advisors had urged Kennedy to veto the bill, even though there was no doubt that Congress would have over-ridden a veto. He signed it only six,, hours before it would have become law automatically at midnight. The legislation provided a much -diluted version of the pension law for which doctors, lawyers and other groups of self-employed have been pushing in Congress for 11 years. The new law will permit selfemployed p ersons to claim tax deductions on one - half of their contributions to pension funds set up for their own retirement. Contributions will be limited to 10 per cent of their income with a top limit of $2,500 a year. Thus, the maximum tax deduction will be $1,250 (equal in taxcutting value to the exemptions provided by two extra dependents). Moreover, self - employed persons who have employes will not be permitted to set up pensions for themselves unless they provide “non - forfeitable” pensions for all full - time employes with three years’ service.

ecumenical (Continued from Page Oh e)

and the atheism epitomised by world communism, confronted tne issue frankly in his 4,000-word “The great probem con,ro "k; ing the world after almost 2,000 years, remains unchanged, he said. “Christ is ever resplendent as the center of his history and of life. Men are either with him and his church. . .or else they are without him and against him. Those who are against God, he said, “give rise to confusion, to bitterness in human relations, and to constant dangers of fratricidal wars.” _ At the same time, the Pope made clear Christianity had to keep pace with a world in the dawn of the space aga. “In the present stage of things, good Providence is leading us toward a new order of human relations which, through the woitc of men and often beyond their expectations t urns toward the achievement of its superior and unexpected designs,” said the Pope. Unity of Mankind

Pope John said this first council in nearly a century “is almost paving and consolidating the way toward that unity of mankind which is required. . .” The Pope said this council was being launched “under happy circumstances” but he expressed sorrow at those who were prevented by Communist rulers from attending. “We confess to you that we feel a most acute sorrow over the fact that very many bishops, so dear to us, make their absences felt here because they are imprisoned for their faithfulness to Christ, or held at home by other impediments,” the Pope said. “The thought of them impels us to raise most fervent prayers tq God.” Just before he spoke the Russian Orthodox chureh announced in Moscow that it would send two observers—VitSii Borovoi, its representative in Geneva, and Vladimir Kotliarov, deputy head of a church mission in Jerusalem. A handful of churchmen from some of the other Communist countries also were able to attend. In Optimistic Mood Pope John spoke in an obviously optimistic mood. “We feel we must disagree with those prophets of gloom who are always forecasting disaster, as though the end of the world was at hand,” he said. “Divine Providence is leading us to a new order of human relations.” Pope John said this council would make no changes in Christian doctrine but would take a hard look at the Way it is presented. — ‘
