Individuals as well as organizations are coopera
ting in the project of once again making the Belmont
Point Cemetery a place that is kept in a manner which
shows respect for friends and relatives buried there.
The hearty response not only in funds but in ser
vice shows that many who have loved ones buried there
have not abandoned the graves to weeds and rubbish
but have become thoughtless through the years.
It is hoped that enough contributions will be made
so that the cemetery can be completely restored and
missing headstones replaced.
When all is in order, it is imperative that the city
establish a plat to keep a complete record of all burials
in the future, as is customary in other towns.
IKE STAYS OUT FRONT
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower is still out front in
the quickening race for President, leading his opponent
by a greater margin than Tom Dewey did, at this stage,
four years ago. As the Democrats have picked up the
intensity of thier attacks on Ike, and the Republican
Party he heads, Ike has sharpened his charges likewise.
Now the Democrats are assembling their best
speakers and crowd-pleasers to open a stretch drive on
he general and Republicans. President Truman led
off with his whistle-stop tour, and will soon be off on
another. Sen. Estes Kefauver, who has admitted appeal
among the average voter, is now campaigning for the
Democrats. Alben Barkley is also being thrown into
he battle. The question is: Do the Democrats have the
stuff to pull even with Ike this late in the game?
The Republicans don’t think so. So far, Ike has
maintained his lead well, since the first rush of the
Illinois governor closed the gap appreciably in July
and August. Since that time the governor has not been
able to regain his July-August momentum. In fact, in
September his attack seemed to wear thin. Now the
do-or-die effort of the Democrats is getting underway.
Stevenson, Barkley, Truman, Kefauver and others are
nut to pull victory out of impending defeat. But have
the Democrats miscalculated.
Already, some observers are saying that failure,
to use Barkley and Kefauver earlier, and on a wider!
scale, has cost the Democrats heavily. Barkley might
be the best speaker of the lot in winning votes.

Communist Party Retains!
Joseph Stalin in Top Jobs!
MOSCOW, (/P) — The Soviet
Communist party named its new
high command today and kept
Joseph ’ Stalin firmly in all the
top jobs.
The pai*ty’s new central com
mitee announced election of a
presidium of 25 members and 11
alternates to replace the old Polit
buro and a 10-man secretariat to
supervise party administration.
Stalin was named head of both
key groups.
The presidium is more than
twice the size of the old Politburo
of 11 members and one alternate.
The secretariat also was enlarged.
■It formerly had only five mem
bers. Although both were greatly
increased, there was no doubt that
Stalin remains the supreme au
thority in the Communist party as
well as in the Soviet government.
His top rank In the party was
emphasized by the placing of his
name out of alphabetical order
at the head of the announced
listing of both the presidium and
secretariat. All other names were
given in their Russian alphabeti
cal order.
One significant point was the
promotion of presidium alternate
of foreign minister Andrei Vish- I
insky. Vishinsky, now at the
United Nations Assembly in New
York formerly was a member of
the central committee, to which
he was reelected, but he never
was a member of the politburo.
Clair Sears and Eva Genewouk
were united in matrimony Wed
nesday, by Rev. Paul Carlson of
the Covenant Church.

Stevenson Accuses ike of
Riding 2 Political Horses
(By the Associated Press*
Stevenson campaigned Thurs
day by auto in the San Francisco
area. He was reportedly flushed
with enthusiasm after his recep
tion there Wednesday night.
The thoroughly partisan audi
ence at the Cow Palace cheered
lustily as he accused Eisenhower A.
of atempting to ride two political
horses in California, and sarcas
tically referred to Sen. Nixon’s
campaign fund disclosures.
Stevenson’s audience was esti
mated at 23,000 persons, com
pared with 21,000 which greeted
Eisenhower in the same hall last
week.
He echoed the GOP “time for a
change” slogan, but his version
was: “It is time for a change —
time for the independents and 4
understanding Republicans . . .
to recognize the real nature of
the general’s candidacy.”
