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.

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. From Cleveland,

Rayburn Says Adlai Offers
Reiter Promise for Tidelands
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
Speaker Sam Rayburn asserted
V/ednesday night that Adlai Ste
venson offers Texas more promise
of tidelands ownership than can
be found in “conflicting and con
fused statements” by Dwight Ei
senhower.
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.

Battalion City Editor
A letter from a resident of College Station came to the

BELTON, Sept. 25—(JP)—A Belton salesman said yes
terday he is the Texan who sent a cocker spaniel to Sen.
Richard Nixon’s daughter.
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.
