of Dixiecrats
Ta for ‘Service’ By ROBERT BLOEM : ; Probe of the controversial} \ |Dixiecrat election petition veered . loft today into a search for two| local cab drivers who may have {taken the Southern Democratic {rebels for a $700 ride. Once the two cabbies are located, it appeared, investigators for the attorney general's office may have a clue to the whereabouts of Betty Jean Biro, notary public who “witnessed” 8000 signatures in almost no time flat. The 8000 names were instrumental in getting the Dixiecrat slate on the In a. ballot. Frank Kimbre Mississippi legislator who ne the whirlwind campaign to get {enough signatures to meet legal requirements to get the slate on the ballot, brought the two cabbies into the picture for the first time this morning. In a morning-long conference with Deputy Attorney General Frank Coughlin in his room at the Washington Hotel, Mr, Kimbrell said he contacted the cabbies by accident in his rush to obtain signatures. He said he explained to them the legal requirements, how each signature had to be notarized, and left to them the job of getting the large bulk of the 11,000 signatures finally filed with the board of election commissioners. He said he paid them, in cash, at the rate of 6 cents a name, plus about $200 for their trouble, plus 25 cents a page which was to
