That fact was outstand- ingly demonstrated. when Florida went Republican in 1928, and Key Westers stood firmly behind Al Smith by a majority of almost 4 to 1, They refused to be swayed by the insidious propaganda that swept the South. They reasoned for themselves and voted for the man they thought was best fitted, because of his stainless and out-4 standing record as governor of New York for four terms, to perform the many and far-reaching duties that come within the scope of the office of President of the United States. : The Citizen, in common with: other newspapers, re- cently has published lists of newspapers in the South that are supporting Eisenhower or. Stevenson, Of what conse- quence is that alignthent to the thinking voter? We can find that answer easily in Miami. James M. Cox, who served as a great governor of Ohio, is a Demo-! erat, and, naturally, the Miami News will support Steven- son. John S. Knight, owner ofthe Miami Herald, always has been a Republican, and the Herald always has sup- ported Republican candidates for the presidency since he has owned that paper. So what? When it is said that a paper supports this or that candidate it is only another way of saying that the owner of a paper supports this or that candidate. Has he any more right or perspicuity to tell you fiow to vote than you have to tell him? The Citizen, under its present ownership, has never once resorted to scintillant build-ups.of-one candidate and abuse of another to try: to get its readers to vote this way or that way. The Citizen is a Democratic newspaper but, were it otherwise, it would submit facts to its readers about candidates as it sincerely finds them to be. What are the facts in this campaign regarding the candidates? Eisenhower is a good man, and Stevenson is a good man. Eisenhower's adult life has been militaristic; Steven- son, aside from his serving in World War I, has devoted his adult life to the science of government. Even Repub- licans admit he has been an astonishingly successful gov- ernor of Illinois, rooting out graft, cutting deeply into padded payrolls, firing hundreds of state employes who had little more to do than endorse their paychecks, and fighting, ever fighting, for economy in government. Time and other publications have spoken about his frugality, and Time added he is just as frugal in spending the tax dollar as he is his own dollar. The question that now raises its head high is: Who is better fitted to be President, a military man or a states- man? t SLICE OF HAM __ 16D TIL LERY si eee ED "1 THINK er Ane TOO LOW! 5 =e -- 7 b THIS ROCK OF OURS BILL GIBB BABAR AAEABAD AS ABER BO te ee te a One of our main traffic bottle-y City buses should also use some necks down-town is caused by cars | other street besides Duval to park and trucks parking on the right-|on while regulating their sched- Official U.S. Navy Photo THREE NEWLY ARRIVED FRENCH NAVAL AVIATORS examine the cockpit of a Lockheed TV-2 Trainer.

Love Amongst ; ° The Commies NEW YORK (# — To make him into a well-developed Communist, a former Red says, the party five times tried to get him “to move in with well-developed Communist women.” Testimony about love in the Communist Party ranks was given at the conspiracy trial of the 15 second-string party leaders. The witness was Louis Rosser, ¢ Negro who once was a Communist official in Los Angeles. He appeared for the prosecution. Rosser said that the party five times “picked a woman out for me to marry and said she was a very good Marxist and I should marry and live with her that: she had a lot of mon- ey, and that I was only getting five dollars a week as a member of the Young Communist League.” His present wife, Mary Lou, a Negro, was one of the recom- mended women, Rosser said. He testified that he lived with her for a year before their marriage in 1942. But “I didn’t marry five times Clear Drugstores Of U. S. Charges ST.

WASHINGTON (#—One of the | architects of the Democratic plat- form said here it’s probably a good thing that Northern and Southern “Democrats contend the new civil rights plank means dif- ferent things. “That's all right with me as long as they all vote right in Novem- ber,” Sen. Theodore Francis Green of Rhode Island told a reporter. Despite mounting Dixie-Yankee disputes about just what the civil rights plank pledges, Green said the compromise should eliminate any bolt by Southern States simi- lar to the 1948 defection. Green, oldest senator—he will be 85 on Oct. 2—was one of the 19 members of the preliminary plat- form drafting committee that worked day and night at Chicago. Their two-phase compromise avoided a party-splitting fight both in the 125-member platform com- mittee and later on the convention floor. t The civil rights section promised | continued Democratic activity in, the field of racial relations to eliminate discrimination in politi- eal rights, employment and other fields. A separate section pledged im- provement of congressional pro- | cedures so that a minority could not obstruct legislation in either the Senate or House. Since the convention action, Southern and Northern Democrats {have used the words of the plat- | form as a mirror for their conflict- jing views. Sen. A. Willis Robertson of Vir- ginia, in announcing his support for straight Democratic ticket this fall, said the new civil rights HOLLYWOOD NOTES By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (#—Colleer. Town- send, who quit the movies for a life in religion, is back before the cam- eras. But this time she’s appear- ing in a film sponsored by Evan- gelist Billy Graham. Some cynical citizens of Holly- wod scoffed when Colleen an- nounced three years ago that she was giving up her promising ca- reer at 20th Century-Fox. The un- believers said it was merely publicity stunt when she said she sought another career of helping others to find God. But the succeeding years have proved her sincerity. She married Louis Evans Jr., the son of her pastor at the First Presbyterian Church, Hollywood. She has kept house for her husband while he has attended seminary at San An- selmo, Calif. In the last two sum mers, the pair have worked youth camps in Europe. “This summer, Louis went to Africa on a trip with his father and other churchmen to visit mis- sions there,” she remarked. “Un- fortunately, the wives weren't asked to go along. So I am stay- ing home with Louis’ Mother. It was nice that this picture came along to keep me busy.” The picture is called “Oiltown,” and it is the second to be pro- | duced by Billy Graham Evangelis- tie Films, Inc. The first was called “Mr. Texas” and it was termed | “the world’s first Christian West- | ern.” rugged oil tycoon and his daugh- ter. They become Christians after attending one of Billy Graham's meetings. “It’s a very nice story that show jhow a successful man can still be unhappy until he finds God,” The new film is about a: hand side of Duval St. Two days ago at noon, there were eight rucks, one car, and a city bus parked thus in the busiest three blocks of town. Yesterday at noon, there were nine trucks and a city bus in the same area, : Such a situation automatically cuts Duval Street down. to one-lane traffic flow. There is a legitimate excuse to use the wrong side of the street as a loading and unloading zone. However, many truck drivers take unfair advantage of this excuse— too many of them park their ve- hicle while they stop for a cup of coffee. Owners of the trucks should realize that such a procedure creates ill-will towards the com- pany or firm. In the long run, their business is going to be hurt unless they exert more control over their drivers. camp where I was the dean of eran and I had a wonderful e.” She said that her husband has one more year in seminary. “‘After that, I don’t know what we'll do,” she added. “‘We may take a church assignment in the United States or we might do missionary work. We've been doing a lot of praying to help us decide.” Coleen introduced me to Graham, the young soul-saver, who ex- plained more about the new movie. + “A group of oil men in Texas advanced the money,” he re- marked, “and oil companies vol- unteered the use of their ment and technicians. The picture will cost. about $125,000, although it would cost much more .if we had to pay the full price for every- thing. The actors, including Col- leen, donate their services. for the bare minimum which the union allows. The oil men will be paid back from collections which will be taken wherever the picture is shown. That shouldn’t take long, since ‘Mr. Texas’ paid itself off within a year. With future collec- tions, we hope to build up a fund for more pictures. I would like to make one every eight months.” Graham said that his movies, dio and television broadcasts have been respénsible for 75,000 conver- sions, compared to 35,000 on his Personal tours. Thus he is taking advantage of mass media, Your Grocer SELLS that Good STAR * BRAND AMERICAN COFFEE and CUBAN -—TRY A POUND TODAY— AES RUGS CLEANED AND Stored Free of Charge IF DESIRED UNTIL NOV. 30 All Formal Garments chemically processed.
