National Chairman Leonard W.

half-truths, distortions and some
outright misstatements and false-
hoods."
CHICAGO tr.Pi — Democratic
platform drafters in a reversal of
party policy today accused the Re-
publican administration of sacri-
ficing American Industry to
cheap foreign imports. They pledg-
ed Democrats to "reverse and
remedy" this trend.
Traditionally it has been the I
Democrats who championed more
imports and the Republicans who j
fought for increased tariffs and!
other restraints on imports.
The party platform writers to-
day also promised tighter curbs 1
on monopoly, new aids for small
business, including tax relief, and
a federal minimum wage of "at
least" $l.i"> an hour. The minimum
wage now is $1.00.

day he wrote a letter threatening
to kill President Eisenhower to
get buck in jail"with a still
sentence."
But actually, Johnnie H. Car-
son, 34, said he was "serious"'
about the threat.
"I was discharged from the
army in 1 !H4 because I concealed
my prev ious prison record and I
lost all my benefits," Carson
said. "Eisenhower was general of
the Army, wasn't he?"
Carson was leleased from state
prison at Huntsville a month
ago. He has five convictions for
felony offenses since 19.'I8.
"I couldn't make a go of it
iwtside." he told assistant U. S.
Attorney Jim Ross. "I wanted
bock in."
Carson said he considered try-
ing a bonk robbery to get a stiff
sentence but decided to theaten
the President instead bera-iw
"bank robbery is dangerous and
I might get shot."
