MORE LAND IS (Continued From Page One) Service all lands which would be needed for the park. School Supt. Thomas D. Bailey said Wirth was laboring under a misapprehension since the State School Board had no legal author- ity to give away its lands. He said | former school iand had been do- nated to the Park Service in the past but by the Internal Improve- ment Fund trustees who obtained it by giving lands of equal value to the school board. Land Agent Sinclair Wells said the Park Service's position was without merit since the land adver- tised for sale was well outside the park boundaries and in an area where farms are being developed. Atty.-Gen. Richard Ervin moved for postponement of the sale until the Park Service director could be advised of the facts. Gov. Warren seconded the motion. Bailey, Treasure Ed Larson and Secre- tary of State R, A. Gray permitted it to pass but expressed belief the school. lands should be sold. Gray, seemingly expressing the sentiment of a majority of the Cabinet, said if he is ever. at a meeting when the Park Service wants more land forethe Ever- glades National Park “I'm going to vote ‘No.’ They've got enough land.” The state already has given more than 900,000 acres of land and two million dollars in cash to buy other acreage for the Ever- glades Park.

PHONE 51 THe ArtMAN Press ACROSS FROM CITY HALL — GREENE ST, PRESIDENTIAL RACE By The Associated Press Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower cut loose at the Truman administra- tion in earnest for the first time today, calling it a mess of corrup- tion and scandal that needed a wholesale cleanup. “This Washington mess is not a one - agency mess or a one-bureau mess or a one-department mess— it is a top-to-bottom mess,” the Republican presidential candidate said in an Atlanta address open- ing a Southern tour. He said corruption and scandal were brewed by “too many men who are too small for their jobs. to big for their breeches, and too long in power.” The tone of the speech lived up to advance word from his aides | that he would pull no punches on his first campaign tour — a quick U-turn through traditionally Dem- ocratic Dixie. Other stops today | included Jacksonville and Miami. | He visits Tampa, Birmingham,!' Ala., and Little Rock, Ark., Wed- nesday. The address and the swing through the South emphasized the fact that today the 1952 presiden- tial campaign officially is-in full swing. Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson, the Democratic presidential candidate, was back in Springfield, “very well satisfied” with his Labor Day sweep through industrial centers of Michigan which formally opened his drive. * President Truman, who made his first major campaign speech in Milwaukee Monday, also indi- cated he is satisfied with the 1l- linois governor’s program so far. Truman headed for home with plans to make whistle stop talks in West Virginia. The vice - presidential candi- dates campaigned a_ continent apart — Sen. John J. Sparkman of Alabama, the Democratic nom- inee, in Southern California and Sen. Richard M. Nixon of Califor- nia, the GOP candidate, near the rock - bound shores of Maine. Stevenson Monday delivered four speeches, mainly about labor and foreign policy. Highlight probably was his Detroit address in which he denounced the Taft - Hartley Act as “biased and politically in- spired.” He said it should be writ- ten off the books. Although he said he was satis- fied with crowds and reaction in Michigan, veteran reporters said Truman drew more people — and aroused more enthusiasm — when he campaigned the same section in 1948, Stevenson’s campaign manager said the fact one major speech was televised and the weather was hot and rainy may have cut down the size of the crowds. The Democratic candidate today worked on a farm _ policy statement. So far, he has ‘spoken out on foreign policy, civil rights legislation, Sen. Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin and labor-manage- ment relations. Eisenhower became the first GOP presidential nominee in his- tory to stage a full - scale cam- paign deep in Dixie. The theme of his expedition was announced officially in advance as: “The Mess in Washington.” He spent hours Monday with Sen. John J. Williams (R.-Del.) who had a big hand in ferreting out tax scandals. An air of elation and expectancy was noted Monday in Eisenhow- er’s New York headquarters. Aides said the general is ready now to start swinging — hard. Truman began his swinging Mon- day in his typical give-’em-hell style: He was interrupted by ap- plause 46 times at a Labor Day | rally in Milwaukee where he de- | seribed Eisenhower as the “lone-— ly, captive candidate” of Repub- lican “special interests” trying to “hide behind a new face,” He also called for McCarthy’s defeat, and said the GOP’s rally- ing cry of a “change in Washing- ton” was just a brazen attempt to smear innocent people. Sparkman launched his party’s West Coast campaign in Nixon’s home town of Whittier, Calif., Mon- | day. He blasted at the Taft-Hart- | ley Act as a “subtle attempt to sabotage union organization.” Nixon told a Boston news con- ference Monday that Stevenson has “fallen hook, line and sinker | for the line ” of CIO leaders. He said he saw nothing in Stevenson’s .Labor Day address which CIO bosses could not have approved. There was voting in Nevada and Louisiana today: Nevada names nominees to the U. S. Senate and the House of Representatives in a state pri- mary. Sen. Pat McCarran, al- though not up for re-election, figures prominently because he is backing Nev. Lawyer Alan Bible, 42, to face GOP Sen. George Ma- lone in the November election. A comparatively small vote is expected because no state offices are involved.

Greaves Jr., because, Mrs. Stevenson said, some of the party members made statements that sounded anti-Semitic. In Texas, U. S. Senatorial Nomi- nee Price Daniel told voters they must choose between the State Democratic Party and the Nation- al Democratic Party. Daniel is against’ Stevenson because of the Presidential candidate’s stated be- lief that states should not have control of their oil-rich submerged In Louisiana, voters in two con- gressional districts elect two U. S. represertatives to replace retiring Democratic congressmen, Rep. A. Leonard Allen and Rep. Henry D. Larcade Jr. Among the contest- ants is Dr. George S. Long, another member of Louisiana’s Long dy- nasty. He is a brother of the late Sen. Huey P. Long and uncle of Sen. Russell Long. There were these other political developments: The Republican National Com- mittee said it has received reports that over 2,600 full-time govern- men press agents are being used to aid the Democratic Party’s elec- tion campaign.
