Stringfellow appeared at the com

after the group voted to accept
the withdrawal he had proffered
only a few hours before. He re
ceived a standing ovation. Then, in
a voice sometimes shaken by sup
piessed sobs, he said.

Japan is In accord with the 1851

bogus nature of his story of war
lime heroism because "I just did

But the evening's climax came
when narried parly oiiicials, aller
counting a ballot that had given
the nomination to -Dixon by an
unofficial 73 to 19, learned that
Dixon had left Salt Lake CUv some
time before with a parting an
nouncement that be would not ac
cept.
Frantic telephoning finally lo
cated the educator in the home of
a son In Ogden. Then, while some
92 members of the 128-man GOP
Slate Central Committee milled
about in a room on the floor below,
top stale officials took turns plead
ing with Dixon, his wile Lucille,
and then Dixon again, to change
his mind.
Ironically, the call was taken hi
tnc campaign headquarters of the
Democratic party the only tele
phone Immediately avxilable In the
hotel where the meeting took
place.
Taking turns at the telephone
were Sen. Arthur V. Watkins (R
Utah), chairman of the recent com-
mittee to Investigate censure
charges against Sen. McCarthy (R
-Wis); Utah Gov. J. Bracken Lee;
and Jack V. McLea, of Roosevelt,
a member of the USAC Board of
Trustees.
At length, Dixon accepted. His
nomination was announced and the
committee voted to make It unan
imous. Stringfellow, a first-term repre
sentative in the 83rd Congress,
precipitated the pre-election crisis
Saturday night when he dramati
cally announced via radio and tele
vision that he had been living a lie
as a war hero for years.
The disabled veteran, 32, mar
ried and the father of two, con
fessed that his story of a behind-the-lines
mission Into World War II
Germany a story that had helped
win him national prominence
was a hoax.
In Dixon, Republican leaders felt
they had the strongest possible re
placement for Stringiellow to op
pose the Democratic candidate,
former Congressman Walter K.
Granger of Cedar City.
A mild-mannered, amiable man.
Dixon took over as head of USAC
in Logan last year, after almost
20 years In Ogden as president of
Weber College.
Party leaders quoted Dixon as
citing his desire to remain at Utah
State and family objections as be
hind his reluctance to make the
race.
The only other name placed in
nomination against Dixon was that
of George Staples, a Richfield edu
cator, insurance man and radio
newscaster. A third" nomination
that of State Sen. B. H. String'
ham, of Vernal was withdrawn in
support of Dixon. ;

EET one of oiir new friends. For years he stuck to the same
LJJJ brand and good beer it was, too. Recently he changed to tlainicr,
and naturally we were interested to hear him tell about it.
"Not much good at describing things," he said. "Just like the mellow taste
Ilainier has, that's all. The way there's no tang or bite. And the way it's
mild in taste without being weak or watery Well, I just like it that's all.
You may agree with our new friend when you try Rainier. It's the beer
that's growing fastest in popularity.
Takes lime but h't
vcorth it. Because Rainier'
long slay in frosty ageing
celtart gives it the
mcllotvness you like.
