' Though the TV station kept operating. Von Fossen canceled the speech and went back to his office to hear complaints about freezers that wouldn't freeze and toasters that declined to toast. Traffic was reduced to honking confusion as stop lights went dead. Food plants and restaurants tallied up their losses in perish ables. One bakery reported the decline and fall of 1,000 loaves of bread in its electric ovens. Kids pelted movie house screens with popcorn as their cinema heroes vanished.

He reaffirmed his support of Adlat Stevenson and at the same time made it clear that he himseli would not be a candidate. He denied that he was embark ing , on another "give-'ern-hell" campaign.

Butler for what he called their "intemperate remarks" at a meeting of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Assn. Saturday in French Lick, Ind. "With no real issue to take to the people, it's obvious they are going to rely on smears and per sonal attacks on President Eisen hower and Vice President Nixon," Hall said. In his French Lick speech. Tru man accused Eisenhower of "mis representation of demagoguery. Truman dropped plans for two speeches in California, in mid September. He said he will return to his Independence, Mo home after speeches at Mackinac Island tonight and Detroit Sept. 5 to continue work on his memoirs.
