Hollywood Movie Star, New
Husband Stop Here Sunday
/ >
The long black convertible, top
down, stopped in front of the
Sunset Motel on UB. highway
66, west of XI Reno, at 1:30 a. m.
Sunday morning.
A bare-headed brunet man en-
tered the office and signed “Mr.
and Mrs. Gary Merrill, Glou-
cester. Mass.," on the registra-
tion blank offered by 8. J. Gra-
ham, owner of the motel.
To Graham, Mr. and Mrs. Mer-
rill were Just two more tourists
crossing the country until the
woman opened the car door and
started toward him. Although
dressed tn pedal pushers and a
sun-vlsored cap, a sharp contrast
to her film wardrobes, she was
Instantly recognisable.
After leading the way to cabin
ala and advising Merrill to close
the top of the convertible which
extended beyond the garage,
Oraham returned to the office
to tell his wife that "a movie
star Just checked in.”
A quick glance throughout
through the day's paper and Mrs.
Oraham found the article she
had read earlier—describing the
marriage ceremony, Friday, July
33, in Juares, Mexico, of the film
star and actor Gary Merrill.
The couple were enroute from
Mexico to Gape Ann, Maas.
When Mr. and Mrs. Meilll left
at 9:30 a. m. Sunday morning,
Graham, said to her, “I have
your husband's signature on the
card, but I'd rather have yours
Willingly, she took the pen and
and in a plain, legible script
wrote across the top of the
card, "Bette Davis."

President To
Ask for More
Military Aid
Domestic Controls
Sentiment Rising
Among Legislators
WASHINGTON, July to-WV-
Presldent Truman told congres-
sional leaden today he is sending
up a message asking $4fi00fl00fi00
additional for military aid to anti-
communist nations.
Chairman Clarence Cannon
(Democrat, Missouri) of the house
appropriation* committee |fcid
there was “unanimous agreement”
among Democratic and Republican
leaden to expedite action on the
request.
Cannon said the estimates for
the additional 54,000,000,000 will
be submitted through a letter to
Speaker Bam Rayburn and re-
ferred directly to the house ap
propria tions committee which will
♦«if tims up immediately.
Agree m Plan
There was agreement on proce-
dure, he explained, under which
the bill could be brought to the
floor quickly.
He said the president said there
is “an emergency" which requires
immediate action to arm American
allies.
Meanwhile Rayburn said today
that Mr. Truman still thinks he
has asked for enough economic
controls but probably wouldn't veto
a bill providing extra one*.
Congressional leaders discussed
the question of domestic controls
with Mr. Truman because of rising
sentiment in congress to go be-
yond the steps he has suggested.
Many legislators want to pro-
vide at least stand by authority
for price and wage controls and
rationing.
Rayburn. Texas Democrat, was
asked what the president might do
U congress voted him the extra
authority.
He said: '1 don't think he would
veto a bill on that account"
Rayburn said neither he nor
auy other Democratic leaders went
so far as to tell Mr. Truman he
«*ht get a biu wtth exya oon.
Others AUcart
Those in on the controls dis-
cussion besides Rayburn were Vice
President Alhen Barkley, senate
Democratic Leader Lucas of Illi-
nois, and house Democratic Lead-
er John McCormack of Massa-
chusetts.
At the capltol, Senator Burnet
May bank (Democrat. South Caro-
lina) said the White House staff
Is studying the question of a
broader home front mobilisation
bill to Include standby power to
Invoke wage-price-rationing con-
trols.
Maybank is chairman of the
senate banking committee which
handles control legislation. He said
the White House study Is being
made at his request. He added that
no decision had been reached after
a series of conferences over the
week-end.
Maybank said he had not talked
to President Truman himself about
the matter.
Mr. Truman has said there is
not need at this time for s more
drastic home front mobilisation
than the steps he proposed in his
message to congress July 19.
The bill Mr. Truman submitted
then does not call for wage-price
controls or for rationing.

OKLAHOMA CITY, July 31—<•!
—Attorneys for Johnston Murray
today moved to block a recount of
ballots ta last Tuesday'! governor's
race, terming the demand a "fish-
ing expedition.”
The election board heard argu-
ments on tegaUty of a recount
fore it took up William O.

lag of votes ta all VT eeoa
Key West Oe
Murray led Coe by 1,009 votes in
the official tabulation.
As soon as the hearing opened
in the ho— of representatives
chamber, state election board
chairman George D. Keys ref—d
to disqualify as asked by Coe.
Coe has charged that Key was
‘intensely partisan” In Murray's
behalf during the bitter campaign
which ended in last week's runoff
election. Key dented the charge.
Three Potato Made
Murray's attorneys based their
efforts to block the recount on
three main arguments:
1. That the facts alleged are In-
sufficient to Justify a recount.
2. That there to no state law pro-
viding for a runoff primary recount.
3. That the election board has no
authority to order a recount be-
es— the time limit for starting
the recount has already expired.
It reached a peak yesterday
Liege. Three persons were kilted
and six were injured when police
fired on strikers there.
An anti-Leopold crowd of about

streets of Brussels today. State
troopers were deployed along the
route. When the marchers reach-
ed the Bourse in.the heart of the
city, they began smashing chain
in open cafee and chasing away
customers.

A high source familiar with all-
night deliberations within the gov.
eminent said that Leopold's abdi
cation could be expected at any
time. The source said the king
would delegate his powers to hto
oldest son, Crown Prince Bau-
douin, 19.
The abdication was expected

informants said that
in every sense it would be an ab-
dication in fact.
They said the "deferred abdira
tlon” mean Leopold would dele-
gate his powers to Baudoutn until
the prince is 21, when Leopold
would abdicate formally.

C. E. Bames, Guthrie, keynoted
a meeting of the state OOP central

members, “This campaign should
be a crusade not only for ‘a better
