He is on both sides of many questions, and talks in contradictory generalities with five-dollar words. His opening speech at Crossville bears unmistakable earmarks of having been drafted by his professional ghost-writer from Washington, one Carlisle Bargeron, who obviously is not familiar with the Reece record. For the same language Reece's speech also appears in the Aug. 26 issue of The Commercial and Financial Chronicle, a Wall street periodical for investors. Bargeron writes a column for that trade periodical called "From Washington Ahead of the News," and in the Aug.

26th issue his column bears a Johnson City dateline. Bargeron makes the same mistakes in that column, and uses the same words, as did Reece at Crossville. Both devoted considerable wordan on Estes Kefauver, Reece's opponent for the U. S. Sen- Both identify Kefauver as an advocate of Mr.

Truman's civil rights program, and say he wants the Taft-Hartley law repealed. Of course that is not the truth, Kefauver has repeatedly said from campaign platform that he is against the civil rights program except the poll tax repeal. He also has repeatedly said that the Taft-Hartley Act is now the law and should be made work, but that a he would like to see some of its "obvious inequities" removed. Bargeron is 8 veteran ghost writer, having been in the game for more than 20 years. He has written campaign speeches for Sens.

Styles Bridges and Homer Ferguson for Wendell Willkie, Calvin Coolidge and Bob Taft. Doesn't Know Tennessee But he doesn't know much about Brazilla, about Tennessee, or about Brazilla's running-mate, Roy Acuff. In fact he doesn't even know how to spell, Roy's name. It appears twice inf his trade paper column as "Acull." He said that Mr. "Acull" got 60,000 votes in the GOP primary "without even announcing his candidacy." A brief checks of newspaper files would show Bargeron that "Mr.

was announcing his candidacy every day or so back in June and July. In his speech at Crossville, Reece declared: "I have never shaped my thinking and activities to applause of the polyglot eastern intellectuals. I have to be, and I am, a southerner, "Against FEPC" am against the FEPC being imposed on this state as proposed by President Truman. Such imposition would be another of those deceptive New Deal schemes, borrowed from the platform of the Communist. under party, an in attractive which poison label." Perhaps Brazilla momentarily forgot that-Gov.

Tom Dewey sponsored an FEPC law for the state of New York, or that he himself a few months ago, was saying that Republicans in congress had long wanted an FEPC law. On the issue of states rights, Brazilla said last night: "I am definitely enlisted in this great struggle to preserve this system which has stood the test of time." And then, finally, came out also for TVA and the appropriation to build a steam plant at New Johnsonville, Tenn. What He Said How do all these statements and pledges stack up with what Brazilla has said before becoming a candidate for the senate? Back in August, 1946, In a talk before a Negro Elks convention in Buffalo, he said that the Democratic party was divided into three parts, and of them was "the South, which stemmed from the slave-holding oligarchy which once plunged this nation into to preserve the institution of slavery." That doesn't sound, much like the talk of a "true southerner," which Brazilla calls himself. When Reece was in congress he voted three times (in 1922, 1937 and 1940) for a federal anti-lynching law, and in 1943 voted for a bill to remove the poll tax in federal elections. How anyone can be states righter and still be for a federal anti-lynching law and a federal poll tax repeal law is something Brazilla ought explain.

Change of Views In his Crossville speech, Reece said: "Pretending to have social justice as its the real eftect of federal legislation such as President Truman Estes Kefauver want would be another step toward the Russian But a few months ago, as tional chairman of the Republican party, Reece repeatedly issued statements in which he referred to "President Truman's rather belated interest in civil rights" and in which he pointed out that much of the Truman platform "duplicates the proposals which Republican members of congress have been seeking to enact into law for many years." As a congressman in 1943, Reece tried to keep TVA power from his own section of the state by cooking up a scheme to give him control over power distribution facilities in that six-county area. His fight against the Norris Bill in 1928 cost him his seat in congress in 1930. Now, he says he's "for" TVA. He'd be on safer ground if he'd throw away that ghost-written speech and start singing "'The Great Speckled Bird." By EDWARD B. SMITH late seat in the November elections.

or Out-of-Town Deaths Biggest Show Ever Expected At State Fair By H. B. TEETER Tennessee's abundant farm, home and business wealth goes on parade here two weeks from tomorrow. In fun and festival, Tennesseans by the thousands are expected to flock to the fair, moving in a slow fiood of humanity through the livestock barns and commercial exhibits, packing the enlarged grandstand day after day to view the thrills and spills on the fairgrounds amusem*nt L. E.

Griffin, acting secretarymanager of the 1948 state fair, believes the flags will fly over one the largest crowds in the history of the six-day exhibition. That would mean crowds approachingor perhaps exceeding--the record 209,000 paid admissions set in 1946. High Quality Exhibits From throughout the state come reports that Tennessee's bumper farm crops will yield new high quality in exhibits. Heart and soul of the fair, farm products and livestock suffered little during late August drought conditions, agricultural officials stated. Preparations for 43rd annual exhibition were nearing completion yesterday.

All buildings, concessions and booths are expected to be in full operation when the gates open Monday morning, Sept. 20. Premiums in excess of $50,000 will go to winners in all divisions. From opening day, the fair will run the course set by the late Phil Travis. In succession, there will be Nashville day, Tennessee and Old Hickory day, Farmers' day, Children's day; in and Automobile Racing day.

Traditionally, Automobile day is all days rolled into one a day to attract the largest crowds of the week. Lid on Inflation Middle Tennesseans, hounded by inflation, will find the lid clamped down hard when they buy pop, hamburgers, hot dogs, cotton candy and souvenirs. Concessionaires will be required to hawk their foods prevailing downtown prices. The price of admission has been held to 60 cents for adults, 30 cents' for children, fair officials said. A state fair is never really new, but strangely enough is always new to those who may have visited the exhibition year after year.

Few new buildings have been added, but the grounds are bright with fresh paint. Around the dirt track in front of the enlarged grandstand, the harness racers will send their high-stepping animals through the paces; the ferris wheel on the midway will loom high against a background of canvas and bright colors; music will blare from loud speakers and juke boxes; the fireworks will burst in many colors to the tune of thunderous explosions in the sky; people will scurry, press, jam and struggle for amusem*nt, enlightenment, education and the privilege of spending more money. Same Old Picture It will be the same old picture, a little more elaborate, a little more in tune with post-war U.S.A. The beef cattle, the dairy cattle, the corn and pumpkins and Home Demonstration club exhibits; the good smell of sawdust, mingled somehow with fresh roasted peanuts, popcorn and sizzling pork; crepe streamers rustling in cool Septemair; freaks, death-defying acrobats, hula dancers, and noisy little artificial birds that hum in crazy circles. It will all be the same, essentially, from the nightly horse show to the parade of champions.

But it will be a sameness which never tires, and it will be a great show. Rites Set Tomorrow For J. Hughes Darden Funeral services will be conducted tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. for J. Hughes Darden, 74-year-old retired International Harvester Co.
