GOP Candidates
To Invade Dixie |
WASHINGTON, (>Pi — Dixie
Republicans had advance notice
today that the Presidential candi
dates are coming on an open hunt
for support among the 200-odd
delegates a dozen traditionally
Democratic states will send to the
1948 GOP convention.
Harold E. Stassen announced
that he is heading south in No
vember for speeches apd confer
ences in Little Rock. Ark., Dallas,
New Orleans, Gulfport, Miss., St.
Petersburg, Fla., and Orlando,
Fla. His move may be matched
soon by a decision by Senator
Taft <R.-Ohio> to travel in the
same direction.
Taft generally is conce d e d
strong support among the southern
delegates. Backers said he can be
counted on to try to offset Stass
en’s attempts to break into this
area, which will furnish about one
fifth of those eligible to vote on
the nomination of a Presidential
candidate at next June’s Philadel
phia convention.
The Ohio Senator obviously is
depending on a backlog of south
ern votes to help boost his total in
the early balloting, where Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey apparently will
have the advantage of a solid 97
votes from New York plus those
be claims elsewhere.
Husband—Luella, I have a con
fession ID make!
Wife—Oh, goody Now I can
try out my new revolver.
CIO Demands Rent
Controls. Rationing
And Tax Reduet ion
BOSTON, (/PI—1The CIO called
today for an immediate session of
Congress to bring back price and
rent controls and rationing.
The national convention also j
asked for a new income tax policy
which would raise exemptions to
$1,500 for an individual, $3,000 ;
for a married couple, with $500
deductions in addition for each
j dependent.
A group of resolutions asking
j fair and full employment and pro- i
! tection of veterans’ rights were
passed swiftly and with little dis
cussion by the 600 delegates.

WASHINGTON, </P)—A federal!
district court jury has decided
that Richard Hippelheuser, who
was a special assistant to former
secretary of commerce Henry A.
Wallace, must pay $50,000 for
alienating the affections of .an
other man’s wife, now divorced.
After an hour’s deliberations,
the jury decided Hippelheuser
should pay the amount to Carl
Dawson Smith 3rd, 35-year-old j
lawyer. Smith was awarded $25,
000 compensatory damages and
$25,000 punitive damages.
It was one of the largest awards,
ever made here in a heart balm
action. Smith had asked for $100,
000.

Parties Even In
Italian Eleetion
ROME. oP)—Final returns indi
cated yesterday the Christian
Democrat party and the Commun
ist-dominated People’s bloc each
had won 27 of the BO municipal
council seats at stake in Sunday’s
city election.
Only a hapdful of voters—less
than one percentage point—sep
arated the two giants of the 1947
Italian political arena. The re-1
maining ballots were divided
among parties ranging from the
moderate left to avowed adherents
to fascism.
With the close result, it seemed j
likely that the new council—like
the one elected last November— 1
would be deadlocked over the1
choice of mayor.
Final returns from 1,223 pre
cincts announced by the interior j
ministry confirmed the comeback
of Premier Alcide de Gasperi’s
Christian Democrat party, which
some observers had consigned to j
oblivion after its showing in mu
nicipal elections last fall and win- j
ter. i
In almost doubling their vote in (
the capital’s first post-monarchy
vote, the Christian Democrats
picked up thousands of votes from
reactionary splinter parties whose
chief claim upon the voters was
rabid anti-communism and nos
I
talgia for fascism.
All parties were pretty well
agreed before hand that the Rome
result would be a valid barometer.
