Supreme Court Candidates End. Vote Campaign By The Associated Press The two candidates for a seat on the Florida Supreme Court in Tuesday's special Democratic elec- tion concluded drives for votes to- day in their home counties. E. Harris Drew, West Palm Beach, campaigned in Palm Beach County while Vincent C. Giblin, Miami circuit judge, addressed a Tally in his home town. Drew was appointed to fill the unexpired ternt of the late Justice Roy H. Chapman and is seeking a full six-year term on the bench. Gov. Warren, who appointed Drew, also appointed Giblin cir- cuit judge in Dade-Countzy. Only Democrats are eligible to vote in Tuesday’s election. Most Ipre-election estimates on the total state vote indicate it will be far less than tthe 240,253 Democrats Tegistered in Dade County alone. Citrus Growers Make Shipments LAKELAND (#—Four canning plants have begun operations in a limited way, but the fresh fruit market is still tthe main outlet for grapefruit, Florida Citrus Mutual reports, Orange shipments still are small, principally the navel variety.

(AP)—The Rev. Herman D. Cox, Baptist min- ister here, doesn’t want city garb- age collectors to get the wrong idea about him. He appeared before the city coun- cil to ask it to point out to the garb- age men that the beer cans and whiskey bottles they occasionally find in his rubbish are picked up from the church lawn where they ere tossed by people who “‘fail to respect” the church. The city council assured him the garbage men would “haVe' the sit- sation explained to them.

OFFICE Meehom Aupert Gov. Warren Says | Adlai Will Carry State Of Florida TALLAHASSEE (# — “The only remaining question” after Adlai Stevenson’s visit to Florida Satur- day “is how big will be his ma- jority,” says Gov. Fuller Warren. “There can no longer be any reasonable doubt,” Warren said in a statement Sunday, that the Dem- ocratie presidential candidate ‘will carry Florida.” “I heard Gov. Stevenson both at New Orleans and at Tampa,” Warren said, “and I can person- ally testify to the large and friend- ly crowds that turned out to hear the great messages he brought. It was plain to every fair-minded person present that the Stevenson | speeches swung thousands of inde- pendent and many Republican votes into the Democratic col- umn.” Warren, a supporter of Steven- son ever since his nomination, con- tinued: “The remarkable thing about Gov. Stevenson’s triumphant visits to Tampa and Miami was that he drew such tremendous crowds. “The 8,000 persons who heard him in Tampa actually exceeded those who came out to see what his more publicized opponent looked like.” (Tampa Police Chief M. S. Beas- at 8,500, the same size as that which heard Dwight D. Eisenhow- er, tthe Republicangpresidential candidate, on Sept. 3.) * Gogv. Warren did not attend Ste- venson’s Miami speech.

The testing of local channels was part of the national organisation program of amateur radio clubs which aid in times of disaster like floods, fires and hurricanes. In case local power fails, the club here has an emergency generator available. Vette pointed out that in the case of the Texas City oil fire catastro- phe when power was cut off, the “hams” were able to maintain con- tact with the outside world and ob- tain relief by such means. “Our mobile units are better than walkie-talkies,” he said, “because they carry themselves. You just hook up under the dashboard of the car, Aside from emergency use, it | is lots of fun and helps on trips a- cross the country.” I’ve often re- | layed ahead for reservations when approaching a city.

They untied the boat from an old piling at Boca Chica before trying the out- board motor. It wouldn't start. They drifted out to sea. Clyde jump- ed overboard and tried to swim to shore for help where his wife, child were too rough and he knew he couldn't make it; so he tried to swim back to the boat. The boat was carried out by the tide, Clyde ing boat the two sailors decided to | throw the useless engine overboard to save the boat. It was then that | my son tried t. walk from the bow | to the stern to help the sailors lift out the engine. The boat swamped and Albert went down with it. He never could swim. The sailors, as | you remember, hung on all night and were rescued the next day. “Those sailors never came to see | me or my grand-daughter to tell | us firsthand about the loss. We just | read the accounts in the paper. We | buried Albert and Clyde together. Albert was fully dressed when he went out in the boat.

LOCAL ADLAI GROUP (Continued from Page One) rally for Stevenson will be held October 27, pending the appear- ance of Robert Floyd, Dade County representative in the Florida legislature. He has been invited to head the list of speak- ers. The rally will be one of two planned by local Democrats to get out the vote for the Demo- cratic Presidential candidate. Spurred by their first hand view of the candidate and their enjoyment of his talk Saturday, Saunders and Circuit Court Judge Aquilino Lopez, Jr. both said they will double ¢gfforts to insure the Illinois vernor’s election. Rally chairman for Key West is Keller Watson, secretary of the county Democratic commit- tee. William V, Albury, attorney is chairman of speakers for the rally and for the campaign. Saunders, Albury and Lopez were among the 40 Democratic men and women fn the motor- cade from Key West and the Keys which journeyed to Miami Saturday morning. Most of the delegation sat to- gether in the audience with their posters and banners wav- ing. One banner said: “The Little White House awaits you in Key West.” Chairman Saunders, Judge Lopez, Willie Saunders, Commis- sioner Harry Harris and, Thomas Moore were on the platform with the Presidential candidate. There they were photographed, tele- vised and on view for the thous- ands of delegates from Dade, Palm Beach and Broward county who thronged Bayfront Park in Miami. Today Gerald Saunders flash- ed a big “I Believe in Steve” button that he had himself fash- ioned out of cardboard. He and Lopez were filled with enthusiasin as they praised the candidate’s speech, sense of humor, and his knowledge of the oma of Southeastern Flor- ida. Both Democratic leaders felt that the candidate's successful appearance in Miami might well | Swing the state for him over his opponent, General Eisenhower. “We will do everything we can to put Monroe county solidly in back of Stevenson,” Saun- ders said. Meanwhile the Monroe County Democratic Executive committee released a wire from Wilson W. Wyatt, Stevenson’s campaign manager. It reads: “Many thanks for your kind invitation to Key West. Regret Governor's schedule will not permit him the pleasure this trip. I know he will be pleased with your open invitation for a visit, your support dence greatly appreciated.” Strunk Lumber Yard SAYS...
