Ernest Langford, Mayor City of College Station George E. Adams, Mayor, City of Bryan Dramatic Tearful Brings Ike, Nixon ABOARD EISENHOWER SPE CIAL—(A 1 )—Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower and Sen. Richard M. Nixon marched side by side back to the political wars today after a dra matically tearful reunion in Wheel ing, W. Va. Although Eisenhower took on a heavy whistle stop schedule in West Virginia and Maryland, and Nixon flew west to Salt Lake City, they were teamed solidly by a 107 to 0 vote of confidence by the Republican National Committee in the vice presidential nominee. Washed Out Doubts Washed out were any doubts that might have been in the mind of Eisenhower, the GOP presiden tial standard bearer, whether Nix on’s acceptance of more than $18,- 000 in privately-raised expense funds from wealthy ^Californians should count him out as a can didate. Standing before a shivering crowd of about 7,000 persons which failed to fill the flood-lighted Wheeling Municipal Stadium, Ei- Aggieland ’53 Picture Schedule The schedule for taking pic tures for Aggieland ’53 was released today.

Fish Band PALACE Bryan 2’8879 NOW SHOWING “My Son John” QUEEN TODAY thru SATURDAY senhower testified for his running mate last night in these words: “Ladies and gentlemen, my col league in this political campaign has been subjected to a very un fair and vicious attack. “So far as I am conceraed, he has not only vindicated himself but I feel that he has acted as a man of courage and honor and, so far as I am concerned, stands higher than ever before.” Nixon replied: “I went before a great number of my fellow Americans and laid before them a case, a case which some of them I knew honestly mis understood, a case which I felt it was my obligation to present to them, because it seems to me that candidates for the presidency and the vice presidency of the United States, as Gen. Eisenhower says, have got to be clean as a hound’s tooth.” Still More There was much more. But in these few words the smiling Re publicans hoped they had wrapped up satisfactorily one of the strang est cases in American political his tory—talk of the possible ouster of a vice presidential candidate fi*om a national ticket. The Democrats were not likely to consider the matter closed, how ever. In the highest Republican cir cles, there had been no doubt for days that Nixon would be retained on the ticket. That verdict was sealed when his national radio-tel evision broadcast resulted i n Western Union offices being swamped with telegrams in his behalf. Couldn’t Decide Fate ’ i Nevertheless, Eisenhower main tained the technical position that he, alone,, could nof decide Nixon’s fate.. Thus he could not announce publicly that he was keeping his running mate at his side. He could only say that the na tional committee, clothed with the final party power,'had voted 107 to 0 to keep Nixon on. And Nixon was on, no mistaking that. Out of this whole situation developed a series of scenes as in a play. Eisenhower saw Nixon’s televi sion broadcast.

Rayburn used the tidelands issue to touch off the first big salvo in the Democratic nominee’s Texas campaign. The question of tidelands owner ship caused Gov. Allan Shivers, Attorney General Price Daniel and other Texas Democratic officials to withdraw their personal support from Stevenson. Stevenson had said he agreed with the President’s veto of legis lation that would have given the Reunion Together the presidential nominee summon ed his running mate to Wheeling, telling him in advance he was a courageous man. Nixon flew about 1,700 miles from Missoula, Mont., to land on Wheeling’s hilltop airport. Eisen hower, who had been waiting pa tiently in a car, strode up the plane ramp. As the general walked into the big ship, he said: “That’s my boy” and the two men half embraced, both with tears in their eyes. states title to the tidelands. Rayburn quoted Stevenson as concluding that statement by say ing “We should continue to work in the direction” of a solution “mindful of the respective inter ests of the states and federal gov ernment.” Rayburn criticized “some of the Texas Democratic nominees who refuse to support other Democratic nominees” for saying Stevenson has “slammed the door on any further discussion of Texas tide- lands.” “He Has done nothing of the kind,” Rayburn said. Former State Attorney General Wednesday night at a Stevenson rally in Houston. Believe Nixon O. K. The law partners who head Tex as’ Democratic and Republican parties agreed that GOP Senator Richard Nixon has proved he is fit to run for vice president. Demo cratic State Chairman Wallace Savage of Dallas and Republican Chairman Alvin Lane said there could be no question of Nixon’s integrity after a radio speech Tuesday night in which he an swered critics of his $18,000 ex pense fund. Raybm-n did not refer to Nixon. He made passing reference to the unique alignment of Savage and Lane. “We have seen the position of chairman of the executive commit tee of the two different parties —Republican and Democrats— filled by two gentlemen who are law partners.” Savage and Lane were among hundreds of Texans who said they want Nixon to stay on the Repub lican ticket. Other hundreds did not answef his appeal. Among them were res idents of Denison, Eisenhower’s birthplace. Western Union said no body in Denison answered Nixon’s plea for messages of support. Mrs. Walter Groce of Corpus Christi, former Republican leader, found out the hard way whether Nixon has any supporters there. To win a bet, she sent Nixon an uncomplimentary telegram, and it appeared in Wednesday’s Corpus Christi Caller. Mrs. Groce said anonymous callers heaped abuse on her. Texas Gets Fall Weather By ASSOCIATED PRESS It was a nice fall day in Texas Wednesday. Folk in the Panhandle and South Plains felt a nip in the air. It was a little warmer in South and Cen tral Texas. The highest temperature was at Cotulla and Laredo, 91 degrees. | Marfa had G3. Sprinkles of rain—not enough to measure—pattered down on Fort Worth, Abilene, San Angelo, Min eral Wells and Waco. Panhandle temperatures were mostly in the 70s while in the South Plains they were generally in the 60s. A mass of northern air covering the state was causing the good weather. Forecasters predicted more of the same Thursday.

Nixon, in his nation-wide broadcast to explain his special $18,000 expense fund, told his listeners that “a man down in Texas” had sent a cocker spaniel and that “Regardless of what they say about it we are going to keep the dog.” Lewis Terrel, who is attending a salesmanship course in Springfield, Mass., said that he shipped the black and white spaniel to Nixon after hearing that the senator’s daughter, Tricia, 6, wanted a cocker. Asked if he thought Nixon should stay in the race as Republican vice-president nominee, Terrell said: “Well, naturally. Are you kidding? He is a sincere, fighting American.” Terrel calls himself “a fighting Republican from Texas.” “You have to be a fighter to be a Republican in Texas,” he added.
