rupted her to say "I am not ask^

, replied: "I don't know."
I Tate turned to the judge and

"Hut you didn't know anything

I Rat'faelli asked.
"That's i-ijrht." Poston replied.
Tate immediately arose to his

Attorney General John Ben
Shepperd, who was a spectator .-it
today's hearing, said the action to-
1 day "covered two points in the
state's allegation against the
NAACP.
The state seeks to put the
NAACP out of business in Texas.
Shepperd F.nid his points were that
the NAACP is practicing law as a
corporation and is violating the |
state statute relating to barratry,

try some time this year, but not
very soon.
6. He stood behind \ixon on the
Vice {'resident's forecast of an ev-
entual four-day work week. He
said this could not be accomplished
by fact but that his administra-
tion will continue efforts to es
tablish an economic el invite in
which the worker receives the
maximum reward for his efforts.!
Dwelling for the moment on Ni j
xon's forecast, Mr. Kisenhower'
ALLEY OOP
said if the day can come when the
I'nited States can have a four-day
work week he thinks it would be
fine. He added quickly, however,
that no man could iviy this would
come about purely because he, the
President, said so.
Public Records
7. He believes that some sys
tem ought to be worked out for
making public an accounting of
money spent by congressmen on
trips abroad. He sees no reason
why these records should be kept
secret as thev .-ire at oresent.
H. He regards Secretary of Agri I
< ultue Kxia T Benson as one of
the finest and most dedicated pub-
lic servants he hut> ever known.
He believes Benson is thoroughly
acquainted with every phase of
agriculture and is putting his
whole heart into working for the
best interests of farmers. This
statement was in response to ,-i
question whether he regards Ben-
son as a "political millstone."
Mr. Eisenhowty's meeting with
reporters todav was dominated hv
political questions. He opened his
conference with a statement of re-
gret on the death of Babe Didrik

«ny J. Johnson, a 62 year old Ne-

When the sides of ,a deep water
well caved in and buried him un-

The body was recovered shortly

Johnson was with a professional

to questions. The first was wheth-
er his health nosed any limitation
i on an expanded campaign sched-

Mr. Eisenhower, in a matter-of
j fact manner, said that no health
i question was involved in any way
j in his campaign plans at present.

lead a more ordered life than he

HEADS DIXIE GOVERNORS
—North Carolina's Democratic
Cov. L.uther H. Hodges has
been elected chairman of the
Southern Governors' Confer-
ence for the corr.ing year. He
was chosen during the cr-
. ganization's recent session at
White Sulphur Springs, W.Va.
Both Demos, GOPs
Offered Peron Aid
WASHINGTON (U.Pi—The Ei-
senhower administration offered to
lend the Argentine government or
Argentine business $62.5 million
while dictator Juan D. Peron was
in power, but none of the money
was actually received.
The Truman administration
agreed to loans totaling more than
$1.'<0 million for Peron's regime or
for Argentine firms. Of this total,
about $101,700,000 was actually
drawn by the Argentine govern-
ment.
These facts were ascertained
from records of the Export-Import
Bank, which handles such loans
for the U. S. government, after the
question of U. S. financial assist-
ance to Peron became an issue in
the presidential campaign.
Biblical Cities
To Be Reproduced
BOSTON —The American
Foundation for the Preservation of
the Christian Heritage announced
plans Wednesday night for a $20
million reproduction of three Holy
Land cities on a 2,000-acre plot in
Southern California.
The walled city of Jerusalem
and the towns of Bethlehem and
Nazareth will be duplicated as
they existed during the lifetime of
Christ.
The project, to be called "Chris-
tialand," was conceived by author
teacher Esta M. Barr of Boston.
Lawrence G. McNeil of Los An-
geles, builder of Disneyland, will
bo in charge of construction.

The long illness, which the Babe
and her doctors once thought they
had whipped after an operation for
rectal cancer at Beaumont in 1953,
caused the Babe to waste aw.ny
from a husky 140-pound bundle of
athletic perfection to well below
the 100 pound level at the end.
The trim, muscular Babe, born
June 2K, 1914 in Port Arthur,
Tex. excelled in virtually every
field of athletics she entered. She
first astounded the world in track
and field while still a teen-ager in
the 1932 Olympics when she won
two (told medals for the United
States and was deprived of a third
because her "form" she used in
clearing the high jump cross bar.
Before that, she had won ail-
American honors as a basketball
player on a Dallas insurance com-
pany team that was one of the
best known in the country, the
Golden Cyclones.
Wins Meet Alone
It was for this same company
Employers Casualty that she first
took up track and field in 1930
and single-handedly won the wo-
men's national AAU in Chicago
for her team by winning five ev-
ents and placing in two others for
30 points.
She was only 17 at the time.
She began to take golf seriously
in 1933 and she worked diligently
to perfect her golf game just as
she had her track and field form.
It took her two years to develop
herself into a champion, but from
1935 until finally driven from the
fairways by cancer, she had no
peer among the women golfers of
the world.
She won 82 tournaments from
1935 to 1953, including all the big
ones and the Women's National
Open three times. She became the
first American to win the British
Women's Amateur.
Golf Game on Par
The Babe's golf game was on a
par with most of the men pros
as far as distance was concerned.
It was nothing for her to belt 250-
yard drives down the fairways.
It was in the spring of 1958,
just after the Babe had won the
Titleholders' tournament at Au-
gusta, Ga., that doctors discover
ed that she had cancer of the ree
turn. They operated and it looked
as if they had removed all of the
growth.
She went back to playing golf
and won five tournaments in 1954,
although tiring easily. George and
her friends urged her to retire,
stessing that everyone would un-
derstand if she quit.
"1 don't pick up the ball," the
Babe replied.
And. it was that way rient
down to the end. She kept fighting
long past the time doctors said
most persons would have given up'
and died under the sume circum-
stances.

VINTAGE VICTORY—Donald G Harter, of Birmingham,
Mich., pilots the 1903 Model A Ford which won him the grand
rhatx>pi°nship in the 1899-1916 class of the sixth annual Old
