Rotary Club
Told Of Great
Need Of Today
In this age, dark in the shadow
of the atomic bomb, the great need
is for a definite religious awaken-
ing, Rev. Truman Aldredge told
j members of the Breckenridge Ro-
tary Club Tuesday noon.
This was his conclusion after
! quoting others to the effect ftiat
' we have about five years in which
to prepare for or prevent an atom-
ic war in which he said that to-
' day nearly every one subscribe*
1 to some kind of a religion, br
I that it is a Sunday religion, r t
| not applied to every day life. A
professional type of religion.
The Baptist minister said that
i many, including scientists, preach-
j rs and educators, are telling us
we cannot afford an atomic war,
' yet it appears preparations are
being made for one. He quoted
some to the effect that such a
war would mean the end of things.
Prior to his conclusion he had
brought out that a world federa-
tion suggestion offers great hope
for war prevention and he consid-
ers the United Nations a good
basis from which such a structure
can be built.
The world has lost the standards
for judging right and wrong, there
is a tragic misconception of prop-
erty and stewardship, and the
world must come to a new under-
standing of the brotherhood of
man, he said.
His address followed a business
session, presided over by James
Alexander, president, in which R.
I. McArron reported that the club
and High School will present the
Hardin-Simmons Cowboy band
here on February 20 for the bene-
fit of the local b^nd and the Ro-
tarian's Air Scout home fund. The
home building has been moved
here from Abilene.
The band will appear before the
student body in the afternoon,
tickets to be offered at cents,
and in the evening before the
public, tickets price 75 cents.
Hubert Tolle, program chairman,

Nation's Economy
Held Threatened
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. <UJ9—
Democrats on the House Ways and
Means committee today accused
the Republicans of endangering
the nations'economy and jeopard-
izing National Security by pro-
posing an income tax cut of about
$6,000,000,000.
The Democratic views on the tax
legislation were contained in the
minority report on the bill spon-
sored by Rep. Harold Knutson,
Republican, Minn. The bill was
approved yesterday by a straight
party line vote in the committee
of 15 Repubiicians for and nine
Democrats against.
The Republican majority defend-
ed the bill on the grounds that
it is "essential to the long-run im-
provement in the American stand-
ard of living."'
"These (wartime) rates . . .
constitute a serious obstacle to
the increase in production needed
to relieve current inflationary
pressure," the Republicans said.
The GOP report contended that
the tax cut could be made and
sufficient funds left over to pro-
vide a debt reduction from $10,-
000,000,000 to $11,000,000,000 in
the 1948 and 15>49 fiscal years.

By UNITED PRESS
A paralyzing cold wave gripped Texas for the seventh straight
day today, Plummeting temperatues below the aero mark, closing

general from the Panhandled to the lush Rio Grande valley.
And, the U. S. Weather Bureau said, little relief was in sight for
most of the state before Friday as fuel shortages created emergency
conditions in scattered sections and brought untold suffering to thous-
ands of families.

Sen. W. Lee O'Daniel in a letter
to editors, received here today ac- ■
ruses the administration of run-
ning up prices as follows.
Having observed at close range
the unswerving determination of
the New Deal Dynasty to ration,
regiment and control the citizens
of this great nation, I am firmly
convinced that they have been us-
ing millions of dollars of the tax-
payers' cash speculating in the
commodity markets for the sole
purpose of running food prices up
so high that the consumers of the
nation would clamor for rationing
and price control.
To substantiate my belief, I
have gone to the expense of hav-
ing reprinted from the official
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD,
a letter signed by Secretary of
Agriculture Anderson, and a chart
showing Mr. Anderson's operation
on the bull side of the wheat mar-
ket from July I, I!M7, to Novem-
ber 21, 1947. I enclose herewith
copies of these documents.
I invite your attention to Mr.
Anderson's letter wherein he ad-
mits that the government-owned
COMMODITY CREDIT CORPOR-
ATION, which ia under his control
and operation, has a capital of
$100,000,000 and an authorised
borrowing power of $4,750,000^00.-
He also admits that the charter
powers of the Corporation include
authority to engage in buying and
selling operations with respect to
agricultural commodities.
On the chart enclosed yoo will
see that Mr. Anderson went into
the wheat market on July 1, 1947,
and began buying wheat. He
bought almost every day until
November 21, 1947. His daily
purchases are listed, and the total
purchases of wheat, and the equiv-
alent of wheat in flour, amount to
more than 200,000,000 bushels. The
chart also shows that wheat stead-
ily advanced during this period of
time while he was baying, from
a low of $2.15 per bushel to a
high of $.1.12. Under the law, the
government is authorized to sup-
port the price of wheat at parity,
which at the time he began to buy
was around $2.04. ft ia, therefore,
a fact that Mr. Anderson did not
wait until the price of wheat went
down to parity of $2.04, but the
low price on the day he started
his wheat buying campaign was
$2.16.
Inasmuch as this nation pro-
duced in 1947 one of the largest
wheat crops in its history, it is
the opinion of some of our best i
grain men that wtt^ont Mr. An- [
(tenon's boll baying campaign,

Wave Breaking Up
In Chicago; Heat
Wave In Alaska
(By UNITED PRESS)
At Chicago, the weather bureau
said the longest cold spell in 12
years began breaking up today.
A mass of warmer air swept a-
cross the north central states, and
relief by tomorrow night was ex-
pected for the eastern states, where
heavy industry in many sections
was crippled by fuel shortages.
Meanwhile, the crazy quilt wea-
ther which has plagued the north
American continent for the last
two weeks developed this pattern—
Sub-zero cold in the midwest and
east.
A heat wave in Alaska.
Drought and windstorms in Cal-
ifornia. '
Freezing weather in the Gulf
states.
Five inches of snow in New Mex-
ico.
At Alamosa, Colo., the tempera-
ture dropped today to 50 degrees
below zero, and the mercury froze
in the thermometers.
At detroit, the worst gas short-
age ever to hit the automotive
centers history forced shutdowns at
60 major industrial establishments.
Chrysler Corp. planned to lay off
50,000 of its 70,000 workers today.
The Briggs Manufacturing Co.,
which supplies automotive bodies,
planned to lay off 20,000 men, and
General Motors said it would send
10,000 workers home.
Higher Education
Getting Popular
CLEVELAND <U.B — Contrary
to popular belief, government
subsidy of veterans is not the main
cause of higher college enrollment,
but only a contributing factor, a
memorandum prepared by the late
president of Fenn College two days
before his death said.
Surveys show the average vet-
eran would have entered college
anyway, Dr. C. V. Thomas said. He
pointed out that going to college
is becoming part of the social pat-
tern becoming contagious and
likely to be as common as second-
ary education once was.
"For the first in history, the
world is witnessing the beginnings
of an experiment in higher educa-
tion for the masses. It behooves
educators then to guard zealously
the great experiment that some-
how has fallen abruptly into their
hands, because only in America
will we have this opportunity," Dr.
Thomas said.
In conclusion, he pointed out
that there are 2,338,226 college stu-
dent# today and predicted that ANSON, —Officials of the

that the weather would moderate
or the students would become a lit-
tle more accustomed to it.
Slightly warmer Thursday was
the early morning weather report.
Buses were running east and
from Wichita Falls but W. L.
Baker said buses from the south
and from Vernon had not been
heard from early today.
The artists scheduled to appear
on the Breckenridge Music As-
sociation program last night at
the high school could not appear.
They became snow bound! at
Gainesville. It was said they' de-
layed calling until in the after-
noon m the hope it would moderate
enough for them to make it.
The hospital reported no acci-
dent cases received since last re-
port. M. F. Vickers was taken
there early this morning following
a heart attack suffered in a down-
town cafe. It was reported he
was resting all right.
Firemen answered one alarm
during the past 24 hours, this to
extinguish fire in a car near Nay-

Devised
For Testing Ships
SOUTH BEND, Ind. <n.Pi—A new
engineering formula for computing
the force necessary to push a ship
through the water has been devis-
ed by a Noter Dame faculty mem-
ber.
The formula, orignated by Dr.
Karl E. Schoenheer, dean of the
university's college of engineering,
has been adopted officially by the
Society of Naval Architects and
Marine Engineers.
Vice Arm. Edward L. Cochrane,
USN ret.), president of the so-
ciety, said Schoenherr's formula
puts the calculations of ships re-
sistance and ship power on a com-
mon basis in all model testirr es-
tablishments in the United States
and Canada for the first time.
The new method also may be
adopted by Great Briton and Hol-
land, Cochrane said.

City Adds Salary
To Plumbing Job;
Pump Inspected
Members of the city commission
at their meeting yesterday after-
noon inspected the new pump that
has been installed at the lift sta-
tion and Mayor Herring said this
morning that in electricity and
time saved it will more than doub-
le the efficiency of the system.
This represents one step in a
general overhaul of cleaning
sludge pits and the water lines
that the mayor said has been ac-
complished at a cost of $10,000.
This over a period of two years.
The cleaning of the pipes assures
there will be no water shortage
next summer as was experienced;
last summer.
Henry White, city plumbing in-
spector, appeared before the com-
mission saying that the job re-
quired too much of his time and
asked to be released or help given.
The city made him a proposition
of $100 a month in addition to
fees, and Secretary EL R. Maxwell
said this morning White accepted.
Under the new setup every
plumber in the city must have a
master or journeyman license, and
any violation of the plumbing reg-
ulations is reported to the state
board.
Mayor Herring said that a for-
mal opening for work being done
on the dam for the new city , water
supply still is to be held, announce-
ment to be made 'after the sun

Job In Germany
Bungled, Claimed
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. sUR)—
Former Sen. Robert M. La Follet-
te, Jr., said today the army had
bungled its administration in Ger-
many and its "ill conceived" pol-
icies threatened success of the
European recovery program.
La Follette, the former Wiscon-
sin progressive, said the army
failed in its job in Germany by
not launching currency reforms to
block inflation.
These reforms, he told the sen-
ate Foreign Relations committee,
had been postponed in an effort to
placate Russia.
L&FolIette once served on the
Foreign Relations committee. He
is one of the authors of the Har-
riman committees study of the
Recovery program.
He endorsed European Recovery
program (ERP) as the alterna-
tive to communism in Europe. He
said failure to approve it would
result in a strong threat to "our
own effective independence."
