Republicans Threaten Court Action If Governor| Missing Pin Does Not Call Special Supreme Court Primary|May Have WINTER HAVEN (# — Florida Republicans withheld threatened court action Tuesday pending Gov. Warren’s reply to their second re- quest to-open a special State Su- preme Court primary election to both parties. After a meeting of Republicans here G. Harold Alexander,, Fort Myers, chairman of the GOP State Executive Committee, wired the governor that ‘‘unquestionably you have the right to call a primary for both parties. . . Please con. sider this and wire me your deci sion and I will withhold any legal proceedings until receipt of same.” Warren has called a primary for j Oct. 14—but only for the Demo- crats—to fill the Supreme Court vacancy created by the death of Justice Roy H. Chapman, who last May was elected Democratic nom- inee to succeed himself in the new six-year term which starts Jan. 6. Warren, after a Supreme Court advisory opinion authorizing him to call the primary, took the posi. tion the vacancy was only in the Democratic nomination becaus« the Republican party did not nomi- nate a candidate in the May pri- maries, The Supreme Court did not say whether both parties should be in- cluded in the special primary, and Warren issued the call only to Democrats. Atty. Gen. ‘Richard Ervin, how- ever, said he thought the governor erred in not opening the special primary to the Republicans. After thé GOP first requested participa’ in the election, Alex- ander said Warren wired him that “TL want to-follow the law.

SCALI WASHINGTON \#—The United States reportedly has urged Brit- ain to join in an Anglo-American emergency aid program for stra- tegic Iran to avert a possible Com- munist coup. Secretary of State Acheson is reported to have made this plea in a memorandum to British For- eign Secretary Anthony Eden with- in the past 10 days. Acheson is said to have stressed the need for quick joint action to keep Iran’s vast oil resources frorfi falling by default into Russian hands, American diplomats who dis- closed this to a reporter today in- dicated the British are decidedly cool to Acheson’s idea, but appar- ently have not flatly rejected it. Acheson told Eden, they said, the United States is prepared to give an immediate “‘token” grant of five to 10 million dollars to Iran if Britain simultaneously would: 1. Buy the two million tons of refined oil and oil products now stored in huge tanks along the Persian Gulf. This would bring the Iranian government about 35 to 40 million dollars, at present world | now market prices. 2. Declare Britain’s willingness to abide by international arbitra- tion of its long-standing dispute with Iran over nationalization of the 1% billion dollar Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. Under pressure from Washing- ton, American and British diplo- mats are urgently exploring pos- sible solutions to the British-Ira- nian argument. The oil dispute has | blocked the flow of petroleum to the West for 14 months and has choked off the Iranian govern- ment’s main source of revenue. Britain’s coolnes to the ican idea, officials said, stems from a belief that to buy any oil would undercut Britain’s legal ar- gument that the oil already belongs to the British. The British Cabinet is scheduled to meet in London today with Prime Minister Churchill to con- sider a reply to an invitation from Iranian Prime Minister Moham- med Mossadegh to resume oil ne- gotiations. Acheson’s suggestion apparently was intended to guide the British in drawing up an answer. -Amer- ican officials believe that Mossa- degh’s move in extending the invi- tation is in itself a sign that he may be prepared to compromise rather than see his nation go bankrupt and possibly Communist. Most American policymakers we decided that Mossadegh’s regime, Nationalist as it is, repre- sents the West’s only hope of avert- | ing chaos. Further, they believe an emergency aid program is es- sential to stabilize conditions, pay civil servants and lessen the threat of a Communist-led upheaval. ‘| Mississippi Democrats Can Vote For Stevenson Or Eisenhower Without Crossing Party Lines JACKSON, Miss. i Miseiesioel nominee Gov. Adlai Stevenson and | GOP nominee Dwight Eisenhower on Nov. 4 without crossing party lines. Democrats. for Eisenhower helped the GOP nominee dodge the traditionally unpopular Repub- lican label in this ‘‘Solid South” state by pledging a slate of inde- pendent electors to him Tuesday. In this way Democratic support- ers of the retired five-star general may vote for him without mark- ballots for the Republican elec- "About 96 per cent of Mississipgi's | ae oe are registered as ae awe white Republican Party leaders George Sheldon, for- | mer governor of Nebraska, and his son, Anson Sheldon, regret that the Democrats for Ei- senhower refused to rally their forces for the GOP nominee under a Republican banner. “We had hoped the Democrats for Eisenhower would go along with us to present a near solid front for Eisenhower,” the elder Sheldon said. It now appears that three sets of electors will be on Mississippi’s ballot pledged to the general: The independent slate, the white R- publican slate and the slate of a predominantly-Negro GOP faction. The two Republican factions have been at, political war for a quar- ter century. The necessary names to place the independent slate on the ballot were gotten Tuesday at the Dem- ocrats for Eisnhower meeting. Former Lt. Gov. Sam Lumpkin told the meeting of about 70 per- sons that “the political office hold- ers in Mississippi are against us, so we will go to the people to win this fight.” Gov. Hugh White, Lt. Gov. Car- roll Gartin, Atty. Gen. J. P. Cole- man and the Mississippi congres- sional delegation have endorsed the Stevenson-Sen. John Sparkman ticket. White and Coleman led a fight on the floor of the State Demo- cratic Convention Monday to get the Democratic nominees the un- qualified support of the state party.

Testimony that the little pin was missing was given by John J. Run- ger, air safety inspector for the Civil Aeronautics Board, at a one- | day CAB hearing Tuesday in sub- urban Coral Gables City Hall. The crash killed two resort Air- lines pilots, Robert E. Smith, 29, and John N. Goodman, 26, and two Orlando youths, Tommy Slaughter, 15, and his brother, Glenn, 13. Just before the accident, the air- port control tower got word from the pilot that his elevator controls had failed. The CAB inspector testified that investigation of the wreckage showed that “the elevators were completely disconnected.” Three pieces of the loosened con- nections—a boit, a nut and a wash- er—were recovered, but the cotter ‘pin which should have held the nut in place could not be found. CAB officials said the loose nut and bolt were being tested by the Bureau of Standards in Washing- | ton to determine if a cotter pin had | been installed. They also said that an investi- gation in San Antonio, Texas, |.where the plane overnighted be- fore taking off for Miami, discount- ! ed any possibility the plane might have been “‘sabotaged” there, An investigation is continuing in Burbank, Calif., where the plane had undergone conversion before the Miami flight. The CAB will hold a hearing there Aug. 28. There will be no further hear- ing in Miami. CAB officials said results of the investigation will be announced later, probably from Washington, 4 The Veterans Corner Here are authoritative answers from the Veterans Administra- tion to four questions of ge to former servicemen: Q. I’m a Korean veteran and: I want to go to school this fall under’ the new Korean GI Bill. May I attend any school that was approved by my State for World War II veterans? A. No. A school must be State- approved for training under the new GI Bill, before you may en- roll. Approval granted under the World War II GI Bill does not carry over, under the law, be- cause in many cases schools are required to meet different stan- dards than in the past. Q. I'd like to take a single course in school this fall under the Korean GI Bill. It would be for less than half-time. How large an educational allowance would I get? A. You would receive either (1) the established charges for tuition and fees which all stu- dents taking the same course must pay, or (2) a prorated amount based on $110 a month for a full-time course, You would be paid whichever amount is the lesser. Q. I am a World War II vet- eran and I’ve recently gone back on active duty. I have never used any of my GI loan entitle- ment. Which GI loan deadline applies to me: July 25, 1957, under World War II GI Bill, or 10 years after the present emergency, under *he Korean Gl Bill? A. The Korean GI Bill dead- line applies to you. You will have 10 years from the end of the current emergency to make use of your GI loan benefit. Q. Are loans made under the Korean GI Bill subject to the down payment requirements of the Defense Production Act? A. Yes. The down payment re- quirements of the Defense Pro- duction Act apply to GI loans made under the new Korean GI Bill in the same way that they apply to loams made under the World War II law.

' Wednesdzy, August 20, 1952 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN raged Congressional Money Experts Surp rised At Truman’s Talk Of Lower Tax Yield For USA By FRANCIS J. KELLY WASHINGTON (#—Congressional money experts expressed surprise today at President Truman’s esti- | mate that direct taxes on corpora- tions this fiscal year will yield three billion dollars less than he had figured in his budget seven | months ago. However, among the few law- makers available for comment on America Needs SA On Our Side MIAMI ®-A Florida National Guard officer says Russian con- trol of a single airfield in certain South American countries could | bring the Panama Canal and key , American cities into bomber range. Brig. Gen. Henry W. McMillan Jr., assistant commander of the | 5ist Infantry Division, told the Mi- ami Exchange Club Tuesday that: “If the Communist tide should sweep over Africa,an airborne in- vasion launched at South Amer- ica from the bulge at Dakar would be a real possibility.” Gen. McMillan, who headed the American military mission to Par- aguay during World War II, said it is ‘virtually impossible” to esti- mate the importance of having South American solidly on the side of the United States. Six Arrested For Gambling TAMPA (®—Three Negroes &nd three white men were ,arrested Tuesday on federal grand jury in- the revised budget estimates re- leased Tuesday night, none chal- lenged the possibility that the drop- back point has been reached. Rep. Daniel A. Reed of New York, ranking Republican on the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, said it had been evi- } dent to him for some time that retail business has been lagging. He observed that such a condition could hardly exist without a back- lash on manufacturers. Rep. Herman P. Eberharter of | Pennsylvania, a ways and means Democrat, called the decrease in the probable take from corpora- tions “unexpected.” He said his personal opinion had been that business tax receipts would have been somewhat higher than the January estimate of $27,800,000,000. The Budget Bureau’s estimate of government income has run rather consistently lower than actual re- ceipts in most recent years. In his new look at the budget, Truman figured that not only re- ceipts but spending and the year- end deficit are coming down. For the fiscal year which ends next June 30, he lowered his estimate of receipts from 71 billion dollars to $68,700,000,000; of expenditures, from $85,400,000,000 to 79 billion dollars; and of the deficit, from $14,400,000,000 to $10,300,000,000. One exception to the downtrend dictments:charging they did not} was individual income taxes which have occupational gambling tax stamps. U. S. District Attorney Herbert S. Phillips said indictments had been returned against 13 others on charges of not purchasing the stamps but he said their names would be withheld until they were arrested. Arrested Tuesday were Negroes Ferman Mirabal, 42; Theodore Wit- taker, 35, Frank Lopez, 55, all of Tampa. The white men were Tom- my Arnold, 60, Tampa; Nick Sa- gonias, Tarpon Springs; and Lov- ick Adams, Clearwater.

Truman said his current esti- mate that corporation taxes wn? bring in $24,80,000,000 instead of $27,800,000,000 was based on two factors: A lower estimate of cor- poration profits for calendar years 1951 and 1952, and added experi- ence with the provisions of the ex- cess profits tax of 1950 and last fall’s tax increase bill. All but 100 million dollars of the estimated $6,400,000,000 decrease in expenditures was out of mili- tary funds, including foreign mili- tary assistance.
