Give Adlai His
Worst Razzing
Heckling One of Worst
Ever for Candidate
For President
By DOUGLAS B. CORNm,
SAN FRANCISCO Wl -Adlai E.
Stevenson came through sonic
rough razzir.g (rom the American
Legion minus , any obvious chip
on his Jiouldcr.
"he Democratic presidential
m.nince roused the Lesion to both
bravoes and boos when he on
dressed its national convention in
Los Angeles yesterday.
Today he had a speaking date
before another ana probably more
friendly convention, a gathering
of the International Assn. of Ma
chinists in the San Francisco
Civic All 'itorium. Organized labor
generally looks more favorably
upon the Democrats than upon the
It- mblicans.
The advance word from Clayton
Frilchcy, Stevenson's press sec
retary, was that "you can bet the
speech to the machinists won't be
antMabor."
For that matter Stevenson's ad
dress to the Legion wasn't anti
legion. But parts of it were pretty
m 'ch anti-Republican. And the re
action from an organization with
a membership with divided party
loyalties was a mixture of hoorays
and hoots.
The applause' and cheering was
moro frequent and in greater vol
ume. But the booing still added tip
to one of the severest hecklings
any man running tor president has
received in recent political his
tory. Some of Stevenson's associates
were saying the booing was a
demonstration of bad taste and
manners, inasmuch as Stevenson
had been invited to address the
Legion convention.
But the Democratic nominee
himself showed little vexation.
And aides who helped assemble
material for the speech said they
wouldn't change a word if it had
to be given over again.
Fritche told a reporter Stevcn
soi. wasn't upset over the booing
evoked by what the press secrc
tary called one of the most '.nl
ficant speeches Stevenson will
make during the presidential cam-
naien.
"Maybe the mixed reaction will
be a good thing, if it sets people
to thinking. ' Frilchcy said.
Still, some of the people a ru .d
Stevenson conceded they were sur
prised at the volume of booing.
It began, as an overtone to thun
dering applause, before the Demo
cratic nominee said a word, when
he wall.cd onto the stage of the
Shrine Auditorium In Los Angeles
with his vice presidential running
mate, Estcs Kefauvcr.
; reached a peak near the end
of the speech, when Stevenson re
marked that those who play poli
tics with foreign policy are ene
mies of peace, adding
I would remind you th.-t the
Republican-controlled 83rd Con
gress harassed the Republican
president so much that he even
considered for.ning a third party."
There was a rumble of mingled
applause and some booing. Then
the booing crcscendoed. J. Adding-
ton Wagner, the n a t i o n a 1 com
mander of the Legion, moved to
Stevenson's side and tapped the I
Man Carries
Filched Boa
Under Shirt
DETROIT m "Nobody knew
what I had under my shirt,"
chuckled James Jaggars, a 70-year-old
one-time circus man.
The bulge that made his fellow
passengers on a city bus try not
to stare was a seven-foot boa con
strictor, weighing 25-30 pounds.
Jaggars and the snake were
found in a downtown hotel at the
end of a search that had led more
Ihr eight miles from a side show
at the Michigan State Fair.
Lew Alter, 60. of Reading, Pa.,
who runs the side show, said Jag
gars had asked him for the lend
of the snake Tuesday. Alter said
he told Jaggars to go away, which
Jaggars did.
An hour later, the snake was
also gone.
Police found Jaggars when
someone in the downtown area
noticed that the bulge under his
shirt was a snake.
lectern In an attempt to restore
order. '
Stevenson finally was able lo
go on and got more applause
and boos at the conclusion ol his
text.
Smiling, he added a postscript:
"We can't always agree on
everything in this country. But it
is nice to live in a land where we
have the right to disagree."
One of Stevenson s main points.
a call for halting the drafting of
American youth into the armed
services "at the earliest possible
moment consistent with the na
tional safety," produced little rc-
pctlnn pt I"! Just a smnttnnng
of applause.
Record Taxes
Paid 6n Cars,
Whisky, Fuel
Excise Yielded Uncle
Sam $10 Billion in
Fiscal 1956
By WILLIAM 0. YARN
WASHINGTON MV-Thc public
paid more federal taxes last year
on whisky, gasoline and autus than
in any previous fiscal year.
And the current year seems
headed toward still another rec
ord, because of a July 1 increase
in gasoline and other highway
user taxes to finance the highway
building program.
The Internal Revenue Service
reported today that excise taxes
yielded the government $10,004,
195.000 in the 1956 fiscal year
ended June 30.
In that total, the service said,
consumers paid record amounts
on all types of alcoholic bever
ages and on gasoline.
Taxes on liquors at $10.50 a gal
lon piled up to $2,O62,242,O00-the
first time the total ever went over
the two billion mark.
Coupled with peak yields from
levies on beer and wines, alcohol
taxes brought in $2,920,574,000.
That was 123 million more than
in fiscal 1954, the previous top
year.
Gasoline taxes yielded a new
high of $1,030,397,000, about 75 mil
lion more than in fiscal 1955, the
previous record yield.
The booming saicc oi auiumu-
biles in the last half of 1955
helped to boost the excise tax re
turn on vehicles to a record $1,
376.372,000. Tobacco taxes, another big
source of revenue, brought in $1,
613,497,000, but this was below the
record set in fiscal 1953. Follow
ing controversial reports that cer
tain types of cancer might be at
tributed tp smoking. The tax total
declined in fiscal 1954 and 1955 1
but rose again last year. Of the
1956, figure, cigarette taxes
brought in $1,549,045,000, a gain of
45 million over the previous fiscal
year.
The administration already has
said it expects the excise taxes
to yield about $10,800,000,000 by
next June 30. Thus, the 1957 fis
cal year total would be pressing
the record take of $10,837,401,000
set in fiscal 1953.
