For Funds
HARRISBURG, Sept. 18 (IF.)—
Gov. George M. Leader said today
he would fire rom his administra
tion anyone who attempts to force
state workers to make a political
contribution_
This was th • governor's reply to
a Republican "truth" squad which
earlier in the. day said "scandal
ous pressure" was imposed on
state employes to buy tickets to
a $5O-a-plate Democratic fund
raising dinner last week.
Leader said he not only disap
proved of the use of state address
plates for soliciting tickets to the
dinner but ( that the person re
sponsible will be dismissed from
the state service.
The governor emphatically de
nied any knowledge of wrong
doing in the .ticket selling.
"I'm not assuming anything un
til I have the facts," he declared.
Referring specifically to the use
of state address plates to circulate
solicitation letters he added; "I
have no knowledge of anyone in
ducing them (Democratic Finance
Committee) to use' the plates.
These are very serious charges
and someone's going to lose his
job—it was with some reluctance
that I .made that decision."
In an earlier statement he said
he "disapproved the practice em
phatically" and that he was in
vestigating the matter with the
state revenue secretary.
And then at the first of a series
of two-a-week news conferences
he plans until the Nov. 6 general
election, the Governor said he
would call in any of his officials
charged with macing state work
ers.
"This administration is certain
ly against all of those unethical
tactics in raising money," Leader
added.

name, said the government is pre
paring for the eventuality.
It is getting ready to supply at
least 500,000 barrels of crude oil
daily from the -Western hemi
sphere to Britain, France and oth
er Western European nations, he
reported.
Plan Delivery Increase
In addition, plans are being
made to increase oil deliveries to
the Atlantic Coast from Texas,
and other Gulf Coast areas by
300;000 barrels a day to replace
supplies normally received from
the Middle East.
The government official report
ed that instructions have been
issued to Naval and civilian mari
time officials to take necessary
"preliminary" steps for the rapid
withdrawal of some 4$ tankers
now in the government's "moth
ball" fleet for emergency oil
hauling service.
Million Barrels Daily
This official spoke with report
ers after H. A. Stewart, director of
the Interior Department's oil and
gas division, told a news confer
ence the United States is setting
up plans to ship from 500,000 to
1,100,000 barrels of oil daily to
Western Europe in the event the
flow of petroleum from the Mid
dle East is interrupted. •
Officials of state oil regulatory
commissions from Texas, Okla
homa, Louisiana and New Mexico
assured Stewart their states could
speed up•production immediately
by more than the required
amount.
Stewart emphasized earlier that
prompt action will be needed it:
1. Western European nations de
cide to avoid the Suez Canal,
sending tankers carrying Middle
East oir on the longer route
around Africa.
2. The flow of oil through Mid
dle East pipe lines is disrupted by
Arabs rallying to Egypt's side in
the bitter quarrel over control of
Suez.
Transportation Difficulties
At a news conference, Stewart
acknowledged transportation dif
ficulties are the "biggest bottle
neck" to be solved in the oil ship
ment plan. Contrary to what Sec
retary of State John Foster Dulles
said last week, Stewart reported
no American tankers laid up in
"mothball" fleets have yet been
ordered reconditioned for the pos
sible task ahead.
Stewart made it clear European
countries would be asked to pay
in dollars for emergency oil. sup
plies from the United States but
said where they were to get this
money was not his specific prob
lem.
"They'll either arrange it or
they won't get the oil," he said.
Dulles said before leaving for a
London conference on Suez yes

ernment's Export-Import Bank
would find it appropriate to make
loans to dollar-short European
countries in any such emergency.

The Pr e s i dent's stepped-up
schedule of two speeches in lowa
seemed to indicate some added
concern on the part of Republican
leaders about political trends in
the farm belt.
Eisenhower will make a formal
farm speech in Peoria, 111.; Sept.
25. He is expected to deal also
with the farm issue to some ex

campaign speech from a studio

Kentucky School
Bars Negroes
From Classrooms
STURGIS, Ky., Sept. 18 (.-I=l---
The Union County School Board
tonight voted unanimously to bar
Negroes from white schools in the
county, including Sturgis High
School where eight Negro stu
dents have been attending cla ss es.
County School Superintendent
Carlos Oakley said "it is hereby
ordered that Negro children
shduld attend the Dunbar school."
Dunbar is an all-Negro school
in Morganfield, the county seat.
The order was based on a rul
ing made today by Kentucky
Atty. Gen. Jo M. Ferguson which
said Negro students cannot at
tend the previously all-white
Sturgis High School.
Today's ruling was similar to
one made last week for the Web
ster County Board, which asked
for the ouster of four Negro stu
dents at the Clay. Ky:. School.
Those four students were not
allowed to enter the Clay School
yesterday, and Oakley said the
board's order would be read to
the Negro students at Sturgis to
morrow.
Ferguson's opinion said "action
towards integration must be
taken by the board itself, either
voluntarily or upon orders by a
court, before integration begins.'
Only 50 students, inch.s.ding the
Negroes, attended the Sturgis
School today.

much on a level with dirty comic

Rose, composer among others
of "Million Dollar Baby" and
"That Old Gang of Mine," testi
fied before a Rouse Antitrust
subcommittee probing alleged ra
dio-TV control over the song-hit
business.
"It's the current climate on ra

Presley and his animal posturings
possible," Rose added.
