Sen. Russell Claims
Increased Strength
For Demo Nomination
Washington U.R) Sen.
Richard B. Russell served notice
' Friday he doesn't intend -to be
over-shadowed in the race for
the Democratic presidential nom
ination by Sen. Estes Kefauver's
reputation as an anti-crime cru
sader. The Georgian sprinkled a bit
of cold water on the nationwide
acclaim given the lanky Ten
neaseean who directed the Senate
Crime Committee's, televised
crime hearings. .
FrMidvd Over Hearings :
Appearing on the Columbia
Broadcasting System's televised
"Mark Evans Show" Thursday
.night, Russell noted that he had
presided over the Senate hear
ings on President Truman's dis-
missal of Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur. -.
Recalling that the MacArthur
inquiry was held in perhaps the
most surcharged atmosphere of
our times," Russell said:
' "If I could have put my show
on the road, it would have far
exceeded any other investiga
tion."
Fought Television
Russell said he had to fight
against televising the MacArthur
inquiry because a third of the
data Tevealed during the closed
door hearing involved American
military plans.
Russell predicted he will have
"some additional strength come
to me on the second and suc
ceeding ballots" at the Demo
cratic National Convention
which opens in Chicago July
21. He said "I hope" to get the
616 vote required for nomina
tion "somewhere between the
fifth and eighth ballots."
COP "Divided"
Kefauver took another crack
at the Republicans when he told
Massachusetts Democratic dele
fates in. Boston that the current
convention shows the GOP is "so
hopelessly divided it cannot he

Kefauver said he is "willing
to take on any opponent" nomi
nated by the Republicans. He
predicted he will get 300 votes
on the first ballot and will - be
nominated "by the fifth or sixth
ballot."
A source close to the party's
liberal wing said he "knows"
Mr. Truman has cooled toward
Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illi
nois and is now supporting Mu
tual Security Director Averell
Harriman for the presidential
nomination.
Truman's Candidate
This source said Mr. Truman
will vote for Harriman at the
convention through bis alternate.
Although Mr. Truman has not
publicly endorsed anyone as his
successor, he has been widely
reported to: favor Stevenson.
However, the governor has said
repeatedly he is not an active
candidate and never has an
nounced definitely he would ac
cept the nomination.
The source said Mr, Truman
feels Stevenson's views on civil
rights and some other "Fair
Deal" measures are milder than
those of Harriman. The Presi
dent reiterated this week his un
compromising stand on these
issues. I
Conferences Held
Mr. - Truman also conferred
separately Thursday with former
Democratic National Chairman
William M. Boyle Jr., and Ed
win W. Pauley, former treasurer
of the National Committee. Boyle
and Pauley agreed that Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower will be
nominated by the Republicans,
and Pauley said this means the
Democrats would have to run
their "first team.',
Elliott Roosevelt., son of the
late resident, said during a va
cation at Meeker, Colo., that he
is "one of many registered Demo
crats" who would cross party
lines to vote for Eisenhower.

Second Highest Output Seen
For American Farms in 1952
' Washington (U.R) With good
luck and good weather, U. ' S
farmers will produce this year
an all-crop volume second only
to 1948 farm output.
In prospect are the second
largest corn crop in history, the
third largest wheat crop, a rec
ord rice crop and a larger-than-ayerage
oat crpp.: In. the overall
production . picture, hopes for
these big crops more than offset
expectation., of the smallest rye
crop on record,, and the smallest
barley crop since 1936.
Corn Forecast Bright "
.The brightest spot in the Agri
culture . Department's first big
monthly crop report of 1952
Thursday was the corn crop
forecast.
Although total acreage plant
ed to corn this year is less than
last year, acreage was up in
high-yielding "corn belt states
and pushed prospects for a 3,
365,089,000 bushel crop. This
is only 10,000,000 bushels less
than called for in production
goals.
Feed Supply Up
.. The department said supplies
of livestock feed grains this year
will be "fairly large." The short
barley crop and smaller-than-average
carry-over stocks from
previous year's crops, however,
will keep the per animal unit
supply below than in the three
years 1948-50.
These feed supplies corn,
oats, barley and sorghums de-

FEEDING RABBITS
Few people realize the efficiencv 6t

meat. A rabbit litter that weighs
scarcely a pound at birth will increase
its total weight 30 times in a short

The Albers Plan of feeding rabbits
has proved successful throughout the
nation. Albers Rabbit Rations are
based upon 25 years of testing at our
Research Station. They include every
essential, and supply 'plus' values,
such as soil values, green grass values,
and sun values that make the differ.

Around Hollywood
Hollywood (U.PJ The most
popular man in Hollywood today
isnt a handsome actor or-an in
come tax .saver, but a quiet pro
ducer named Frank Boss.
The biggest actors in town
dial his. number every dy, for
he can hand out the most sought
after role since "Gone With the
Wind." After 10 years of trying,
Ross . finally is making "The
Robe," from the perennial best
selling novel by Lloyd Douglas
about a man who helped crucify
Christ.
Stars Call
"I've had calls from almost
every star," said Ross. "Some of
them are incongruous for the
part. I don't want to hurt them,
and I don't know what to say
"Usually an independent pro
ducer is just a guy with a script
under his arm, trying to induce
somebody to be interested in a
property. But now everybody
is coming to see me!
Ross is enjoying his new fame,
since for years, he grinned, he
was known as "the man who
hadn't produced The Robe'.
Sold Screen Rights
Richard Halliday, Mary Mar
tin's husband, told Ross about
the book in 1942 when the two
were mowing Halliday's lawn.
The book hadn't even been fin
ished yet, but Douglas sold Ross
the screen rights for $100,000.
"After it became a best-seller,
MGM wanted to buy it for a
million dollars," Ross said.
"Many times since I thought I
should have my head examined,
but I turned them down, because
they wouldn't let me produce
it "It wasn't that I thought I
could make it better. But I just
have a great, tremendous love
for this thing."
Sent Questionnaires
It took Ross a "couple of
years" to get the screenplay
written. And this is the first
movie of a best seller that the
readers had something to say
about. In 1944 he distributed
100,000 questionnaires with the
book, asking which portions the
readers would like to see filmed.
The fans also suggested Cary
Grant, Errol Flynn, Clark Gable
and Gary Cooper for the leading
role.
RKO then decided to back the
movie, with Gregory Peck as the
star. But Howard Hughes bought
the studio and decided he didn't
want to film "The Robe."
No Cleavage
,"No cleavage," Ross sighed.
Ross and Hughes sued each
plus re

other. Before the suit came to
trial, 20th Century Fox offered
to back the movie and let Ross
produce it. , .
"I found myself devoting my
life to this movie," he said. "It
held me back for years."
But this picture is needed
more now than ever. There's
very little else in the world to
turn to now, if you don't have
any feeling along this line.'
