Wednesday night. The drop was
from 'J5 high lo a 48 low here. The
air mass put the skids to record
spring heat for the state, the mer-
cury registering a blistering 103
degrees at Laredo yesterday.
The U. S. Weather Bureau says
a low pressure system in the des-
ert country to the southwest should
continue the mostly cloudy condi-
tions through tomorrow.
The low also should send scatter-
ed thundershowers into all sections
of the state in the next 24 hours.
Thunderstorms had predicted for
much of north, central and east
Texaf yesterday, but they never
materialized. According to the wea-
therman here's why

land, with blowing dust reducing
visibility to l-8th of a mile for a

As the low moved on, a mass of
unseasonably cool air tumbled (
down into the state. The tempera-1
ture dipped to 31 degrees, one be-
low freezing, at Dalhart in the up- J
per Texas Panhandle around dawn
This was 78 degrees lower than
I-aredo's 109 degree maximum yes-1
terday Amariilo had a 32-degree

No rain has been reported in l
Texas the past 24 hours. Some j
light dust was reported in west'

Along the coast, small craft were
forced to remain in port because
of stronc winds Houston had w ind |

FORCES NOT SOCCESSFUL
Knowland Pushes I
Action On Bill j
Against Labor i
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Senate Republican leader. I
William Knowland of Calilornia. I
faced a coalition of Democrats and .
Republicans today in his effort to
force a Senate showdown vote on !
board proposals to regulate labor I
unions. Know-land has a program (
of labor reforms that he wants .
to tack onto a less controversial i
bill calling for the regulation of j
employee welfare and pension i
funds. The Knowland proposals are
opposed by labor leaders The op-
position to Knowland includes Re-:
publican Senator Irving Ives of!
New York, a member of the Sen-1
ate labor committee. Ives told
newsmen today that Know-land's
highly - controversial amendments
do not belong in a bill dealing ex-
clusively with pension and welfare
funds.
Senate Democratic leader Lyn-
don Johnson has said his party's
leadership will try to pass a bill
regulating union pension and wel-
fare funds without what he consid-
ers anti-labor riders. Senate Repub-
lican leader William Knowland has
declared he wants a broader field
covered in the labor bill but ad-
mits opponents may block him.
A Senate subcommittee hopes to
finish work todav on a military pay-
increase bill that chairman John
Stennis terms "rather liberal." The

measure as good and he says it

DEATH SENTENCE LIFTED—Doctors in Charlotte, N. C„ have
lifted a certain death sentence from pretty Paula Brission, 5, by
correcting cne of the rarest heart conditions in medical history—an
extra blood vessel running between the right coronary artery and
vein. Prior to the cperation, doctors believed there was a hole in
the wall between the two upper chambers, in the past a fatal flaw.
Recent developments of an artificial heart-lung has made it possible
to correct the condition. Paula's unwanted vessel had the same
effect cn the youngster as a common hole in the heart.
