"They were rotten, I know, be- j

told reporters.
Dewey, whose train was struck
by one over ripe tomato in Colo
rado two weeks ago, took no no
tice of the tomato-heaving inci
dent. He did not learn immedi
ately of the egg tossing.
Mt, Vernon witnesses estimat
ed a half dozen tomatoes were
lobbed toward Dewey and his
party on the train's rear plat
form. Mayor Harry Bishop said
the candidate's trousers and his
own were splattered. A listener
standing in the group caught a
direct hit.
"It was a great shame that it
had to happen after the big ef
fort that had been made to have
Governor Dewey stop in Mt.
Vernon," mayor Bishop said.
Mt. Vernon is near West
Frankfort where Henry A., Wal
lace's Progressive Party candi
date for U. S. Senator from Il
linois, Curtis MacDougall, was
driven out of town by stone
throwers who broke up a rally
several weeks ago.
GOP Victory Urged
Dewey, in his speeches, contin
ued on his theme that only the
Republican party can convince
the world that the United States
is not faltering it) its search
for peace.
He urged that the American
people "cast off the shackles of
confusion and defeatism and de
spair" by electing a Republican
administration in November.
Oil Importance Cited
In an address in Oklahoma
City, Dewey asserted that the
United States "in the interest of
our national security" must in
crease its potential oil producing
capacity.
"Because of our present needs
we nave no reserve productive
capacity today to help cushion
the shock of any emergency," he
said.
uur peactime demands are
actually so great that the United
States has become a net importer
or petroleum. Obviously, the time
has come when to be careless
with our oil reserves is to gamble
with our country's security at
home and abroad. Oil is of vital
importance to everyone of us."
"In the interest of our national
security we must increase our
potential oil producing capacity.
We must also go on with re
search In the development of bet
ter methods of refining and sec
ondary recovery, so that we can
realize tne lull Dotentiala of our
oil supplies."
'Musts' For America
In addition the nominee assert
ed: That America, if she Is to re
main free, must be strong.
That his administration, If
elected In Novembt-r, will back
Its diplomatic representatives by
letting them "know that America
is not divided."
That the "abundance of Amer
ica" must be maintained "if we
are going to broaden our hori
zons of opportunity ..."
That the nation must "nav
more careful attention to main
taining and Increasing our na
tural resources."
That "we must maintain the
fertility of the land . . . and fleht
with everything we have against

No Tax Load Increase
Elliott pointed out that the fi
nancing of this bond issue will
not incur a larger district Dron-
erty tax for building purposes

six mill serial levy the last
five years. The bond Issue would
make available building space
needed immediately, while the
method followed the last five
years provides only sufficient
funds annually to construct tem
porary buildings. Only about one
third of the amount needed an
nually can be raised by a direct
tax levy.
Over a 20-year period, the bond
Issue would require less millage
than he direct tax method em
ployed the last five years, he
said.
The bond issue specifically
would finance construction of
additions to the present Senior
High, Fullerton, Riverside and

furnish them, construct a central
heating plant for Fullerton and
the Senior High, construct a new
building on Benson School

Russia Asks Dropping
Of Dispute Over Berlin

Sir Hartley said.
"One word from Russia: one
little word 'stop' would enable
these troubled countries to put
their own houses in order and
to build themselves up in Dem
ocratic peace and security one
little word and it does not
come."
This word, he said, would halt
Communist sabotage of recon
struction and Communist at
tempts to create Instability and
cnaos.
He said Russia Is trying to win
"the fruits of war" without fight
ing. He warned the Soviets not
to expect Britain to adopt a pol
icy of appeasement In an effort
to reach agreement on control of
atomic energy and reduction of
armaments.
Shawcross challenged the Rus
sians to:
1. Let newspapermen and dip
lomats move freely in the Sovi
et orbit.
2. Let commercial aircraft fly
peacefully across Soviet territory.
3. Open the Ukraine and
White Russia, "two supposedly
Independent republics," to the
outside world. -
4. Permit the exchange of
newspapers, magazines and radio
broadcasts and university stu
dents with other countries.
5. "Let our tourists in each
others countries and become
friends."
Soviet delegate Jakob A. Malik,
In an Immediate reply to Shaw
cross accused him of obtaining
his argument "from the arsenals
of Trotsky, Hitler, Goering and
Goebbels.
He said the Shawcross' speech
was one-third intervention in
Soviet-domestic affairs, one-third
"a beating of drums and the
remainder a repetition of "old
and familiar arguments."

they did not want to risk a war.

Then they refused to allow
