City Darkened
MONROE. LA. This bustling
north Louisiana city of 40,000 got
its lights back today -after going
nearly seven hours without power.
The municipal power .plant
conked out at 2 p m. yesterday,
just as Supt. T. L. Von Fossen was
about to step before television
cameras to shed some light on
new electrical improvements.
' 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.
One hospital was completely
blacked out. Another managed to
keep the sterilisers and lights go
ing In its obstreptics department.
The rest hooked into a private
utility or relied on auxiliary sys
tems, i
By 9 p.m., most sections of the
city were out of the darkness.
Engineers completed the restora
tion before midnight.
Von Fossen said a short circuit
burned out wires and left Monroe
in the dark about his speech.
"I think the man who will win
the election is the one who has
the best platform," he said.
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.
"I never gave anybody hell." he
said. "I tell the truth and if they
think that's hell, that's too bad."
. Truman steered clear of any
comment on Michigan's Democrat
ic Oov. O. Mennen Williams' re
cent. remark that Eisenhower is an
old man who might die In office.
Asked whether he thought Eisen
hower was too old to run, he said:
"1 don't know anything about
that. You would have to consult
his doctor."
Meanwhile, in Washington Re
publican National chairman Leon
ard W. Hall declared in a
statement that Truman's current
speechmaking "sounded like a
bitter, frustrated man."
Hall criticized both Truman and
Democratic National Chairman
Paul M. 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

continue work on his memoirs.
