In replying to a letter ft on I '
Daniel, aimers mid:
"It may be necessary to ask the '
attorney general for an official ru- i
ling, in which case we will need;
to submit a brief, outlining the
question and our liitei pietation of I

"I am sure you have briefed this >

Duniel had expressed the hope
that an election to fill his post be
lu-ld so the successor could take of- j
fice before the next session ol ;
Congress, due to begin Jan. ii.
Not to Take Salary
The Gamer Act authorues any
elected offici.il to resign effective
ut a future date. It also lequues
tlmt an election for the official's
successor be called by the gover-
nor—within not less than 20 or
more than IH days.
Thad Hutcheson, announced He
publican candidate for Daniel's Se-
nate seat, when it becomes vacant
said all of the legal pioblems could
be resolvrtf immediately if Daniel
would ii"e him "full.final and un
conditional resignation today."
"In a sens*'. I think that is the
legal result of his letter to the io-
vernor." Hutcheson said in Port
Arthur.
fhmwH nnnoiiwed he will not
draw a salary from now until his
Senate successor is chosen, but still
will occupy the set "so Texas will
be duly represented."

TYLER. Tex. lU.-i— The.Na-
tional Association for the Advan-
cement of Colored People challen-
ged today District Judge Otis T.
Dunagan's l ight to hear a ca$e for
outlawing the NAACP permanent-
ly in Texas.
The case is being presented by
Texas Attorney General John Ben
Shepperd, who last Friday got
Judge Dunagan to issue a tempor-
ary restraining order against Uie
NAACP. Judge Dunagan opened a
hearing today on Shepperd's re-
quest to issue a permanent injunc-
tion.
Perhaps no civil hearing in the
histoiy of Tyler has attracted so
many spectators, Negro and white.
A Texas Ranger apologetically
made a white woman hide a big
Confederate flag she brought into
a crowded corridor outside the
courtroom.
Charged That Shepperd Erred
NAACP attorneys filed motions
I challenging Judge Durvigan's jur
i isdiction in the case and charging
that Shepperd erred in filing suit
I against lrtJ branches of the
NAACP in Texas, on the ground
j that the branches are not incor-
; pointed.
The essence of Shepperd's case
is that the NAACP is a corpora-
tion that is violating Texas lav s
i governing the operations *>f cor-
porations.
Judge Dunagan declared a recess
and retired to his chambers to
' study the NAACP motions.
He reconvened court after 20
minutes arid announced that he will.
' decide at the end of the hearing a-
■ bout the NAACP motions. The
I NAACP insists that its local chap-
| ters are not incorporated and are
not subject to corporation laws.
Marshall Advises Attorneys
It also charged that the state
failed properly to serve officials
of the NAACP with summonses to
court.
W. J. Durham and C. B. Bunk-
ley Jr.. of Dallas, argued the
NAACP's case in the opening
plan. I nil , phases of the hearing. Thurgood

The KSTB drive for purchase of

I An ,-rppeal was made over the air
for citizens of the community to
mail a dime, or diop a dime in the
parking meter to be used toward
the purchase of the resuscitator.
The fund had reached within
$109 of the goal on Thursday and
$5.50 was reported in the parking
meters. Several business men do-
nated $90. P. A. Sheets ,-ind Otto
Bendorf gave $>:, each; Jake San

each. Mrs. T. A. Flournoy of FAH

Strange Case Of Mistaken Identity
Finally Takes Turn To Clear Texan
MCALESTER, Okla. tl'.Rt—Louis
Montgomery Howard. 32-year-old
Fort Worth forger, occupied a
state prison cell here today that
almost got another Texan as ,i ten
ant in a near tragic case of mis-
taken identity.
Albeit Crawford, •'{•>, Dallas, was
arrested two years ago as the sus
pected forger of $5,655 in checks
at 22 Oklahoma banks.
Crawford cheerfully waived ex-
tradition and came to Oklahoma to
prove his innocence. But bankers
and employes at the 22 hinks iden
tified him as the forger. It appear-
ed the Oklahoma crime bureau bad
an airtight case against Craw-
ford. He asked for u lie detector
test. The results showed him irtno
cent. His handwriting was com-
pared with signatures on the
checks by an FBI expert. This al
so showed he was innocent.
Officers Confused
He was freed on $1,000 bond and
returned to Dallus. leaving offi-
cers badly confused.
Oklahoma ,'igent.s then rei al'ed
that an anonymous call that ••-«! to
Crawford's arrest hud come from
Fort Worth. They checked Fort
Worth police files and came upon
the name Louis Montgomery How-
ard who had previously been w ith
a forgery ring in Florida.
Something else caught their eye.
Looked Alike
Crawford and Howard were about,
the same age. Both weighed the
same. Both had brown eyes and the
contour of their heads were the
same. Both had a small dimple in
their chins ,-ind they dressed alike.
Pictures of Howard were then
shown to Oklahoma bankers. Tho
same men vvho had positively iden-
tified Crawford now were just ad
sure Howard wa* the man.
