Judge John Mitchell, Mr. Crump’s’ choice for the Senate, was a poor, third with 78,168.

In the governor's race, 1952 Brownin,

Congressman Kefauver,

It was the first time since 1928 when Mr. Crump supported Al Smith for President, that the famed political boss had been on,

that he backed the wrong candidate in a state election. That year he supported Hill McAllister for governor but Austin Peay won his third straight term. Since those defeats, Mr. Crump’s candidates have been victorious in some 100 races. The senatorial campaign was an especially furious one, with Mr. Crump and the big-city newspapers fighting most of the batties.

Challenges Editor At one point Mr. Crump suggested “that Memphis wasn’t big enough for himself and Editor Edward J. Meeman of the Scripps-Howard = Press-Scimitar, who backed Mr. Kefauver.

Mr. Crump charged in full-page

newspaper ads that Mr. Kefauver

was Hs 4 . > of the CIO Political Committee and De Meeman to dis-

prove his charges on a “loser leave town” basis. Mr. Crump’s opposition to Mr. Browning was of 11 years’ standing, dating back to the day they parted political company after Mr. Browning's election as governor. Mr, Crump then switched to Prentice Cooper, who beat Mr. out of his job in the next election. The Democratic nominees almost invariably win the general elections for governor and sepator in Tennessee. Roy Acuff, hillbilly singer, led the Republican race for the gubernatorial nomination against Mayor Robert Murray of Huntington. Former GOP National Chairman Carroll Reece was leading Allen Strawbridge of Camden

Reds Sniping AtU.S. In Japan

By KEYES BEECH Times Foreign Correspondent TOKYO, Japan, Augl 6-Ja-pan’s Communist Party is ready to use any means short of armed violence to sabotage the American occupation, Secret instructions for sabotage, including arson, hive been given party members by Tokyo party headquarters, in preparation for the annual fall offensive, I have just learned. My information, which checks iwith Allied intelligence reports, says the party has ordered widespread industrial “accidents.” One source, which I believe reliable, says the party has orderéd more than 200 fires in industrial workshops, to retard production. These “fires are to appear traceable to “short circuits.” American intelligence officers have crossed off the recent derailment of the Allied express train, Dixie Limited, as an accident, because of the poor’ condition of Jap railroads. *

Suspect in Disappearance Of Widows Dies in Prison

59-Year-Old Forger Once Linked io

Mystery Death of Bloomington Woman

Alfred L. Cline. once suspected in the deaths or disappearance of a Bloomington, Ind, woman, three men and seven other elderly widows, took his secrets to the grave with him today. Cline, 59, died of a heart attack Wednesday in Folsom Prison, Cal., where he was serving a 126-year term for forgery ‘Cline was once charged with murder in the death of Mrs. Alice

Bloomington at the request of her brother and sister, and were buried in Rose Hill Cemetery. Cline was never brought to trial on the murder indictment because of lack of evidence. ‘Easler Proof

of the estate of Mrs. Delora Krebs Cline, who married him in Chicago in May, 1944. He was ac cused ‘of forging her name to annuity checks for a year after her i The "investigation that led to his arrest brought to light a highly suspicious series of incidents. But Prosecutor Norman Elkington told the court at Cline’s trial that it would be easier to prove Cline guilty of forgery than of murder. After serving a year in Colorado prison for forgery, Cline took a trip to Seattle in 1930 with Mrs. Laura C 75. She was taken to a hospital to be treated for poisoning. - Frame Recovers Her will, leaving $60,000, was made out to Cline, However, Mrs. Cummings recovered, and rela-

In 1931, Mrs. Carry May Porter, died leaving Cline $20,000. In 1932 and 1033, two men and another widow died, leaving Cline their estates. Then Cline gave Martin Frame, a Los Angeles businessman, a glass of buttermilk. Mr. Frame became sick, but recovered. Cline was sent to prison for nine years

for drugging ‘and robbing Mr. Frame.

Blame Red Agents But many Japanese and AmericanB still aren’t satisfied that the derailment wasn't assisted by Red agents. The Communists are counting on the above tactics to supplement such tried and true methods as industrial slowdowns through Communist-dominated unions. The Communists are surprisingly well-heeled for their antiAmerican campaign, but their source of funds is no longer a mystery. A main source, in addition to members’ donations, is smuggled santonin. This is a bitter medicine highly valued in Japan for treatment of intestinal worms from which American doctors estimate 80 per cent of the Japanese suffer.
