FBI Cracks Drug
Ring; Five Men
Caught in Raids
DETROIT. Dec. 19 (U.R)—Federal
agents lodge cracked a multi-mil-
lion dollarIirug ring that sold he-
roin in wholesale lots j\ Midwest
and Southwest states.
Joseph Bell, district narcotics
chief, described the profits of the
organization as “fantastic.” Its dis-
tribution tenaclo. reached as far
as Texas, with profits “in the mil-
‘‘TSSTJU. flv.
men. two of them Negroes, in
swift raids.
Bell said the men acted as Mid-
west disributors for heroin stored
in New York. The arrests here fol-
lowed seizure yesterday of Tony
Pisciotta in New York. He was
held under $100,000 bond.
The ring didn’t bother with
small lots of drugs, Bell said. It
dealt only in kilos, or 33 ounce
lots. Bell said it was the purest
heroin he had seen In many years.
Because of the "wholesale" bus-
iness methods of he ring. Bell
said, the arrests cost the govern-
ment $3,000. Two agents had to
make a la-ge purchase for evi-
dence.
Bell said distribution of the drug
was made this way:
A peddler would come in frun
western points, make contact, show
his money and register at a good
hotel. One of the distributors then
would fly to New York, returning
with the drugs in 24 to 48 hours.
Among cities where the drugs
were distributer! were Cleveland
and St. Louis, Bell said. It also was
traced to several midwestern states
and as far south as Texas.
Hoxsey Clinic
Director Takes
Stand In Dallas
DALLAS. Dec. 19. (U.R)—The
medical director of the Hoxsey 4
Cancer •iinic testified in Federal
Court today that some 5,000 to
6,000 patients had been treated by
the Dallas establishment since
1941.
Dr. J. B. Durkie, an osteopathic
phvsician, testified that he was
the clinic medical director and a
cancer specialist.
The pure food and drug ad-
ministration brought the suit
against Harry Hoxsey, the opera-
tor, and his clinic, seeking to pro-
hibit use of the mails for distribu-
tion of Hoxsey medicines, which
are represented ns,cancer cures.
Durkie said the clinic had writ-
ten “several times” to the pure
food nnd drug administration,
asking for a ruling on whether use
of the mails to distribute the med-
icines was legal.
He testified further that the
clinic had sent no medicines since
May, 1950, when government field
agents seized a shipment at
Denver.
Durkie was preceded as o wit-
ness by six persons for the defense.
All of them said they personally,
or/members of their family, had
suffered cancer and had received
cures at the clinic.
Durkie testified that the clinic
gave the same medicines to nil
patients, regardless of whether
they had external or internal
malignancies.
ACCIDENT IB FATAL
FORT WORTH, Doc. 19 (U.R)—
Marine Pfc. Johnny Gerald White,
of Arlington, was killed early to-
day when the automobile in which
he was riding went out of control
and hit a traffic light standard.
The City of Gladewater yester-
day won the suit in 124th District
Court sytled The State of Texas,
Tom Armstrong, Relator vs. The
City of Gladewater, which ques-
tioned the legality of 1949 exten-
sion of city limits.
District Judge Fred Erisman
held that the Validating Act pass-
ed by the Legislature in March,
1950 cured any defects in the pass-
age of the city ordinance which
annexed the territory in question
Hearings in the case were held
on Nov. 27 and 28 but court was
recessed until Dec. 13 then reces-
sed again until Dec. 18 due to a
conflicting trial.
By deposition and testimony,
about 300 witnesses were heard
from.
Attorneys for the plaintiff stat-
ed late yesterday that questions of
fact concerning the qualifications
of voters will be brought before
the Appellate Court, as well as
other matters which the plaintiff
alleges are in violation of the
statute governing the annexation
of territory.
Other matters to be brought to
the Appellate Court include allega-
tions by the plaintiff that the ter-
ritory annexed was more than one-
half mile in width; that W. F.
Starnes and Mabel : nite, two of
the three signers of the affidavit
in connection with the subsequent
annexation were not qualified vot
ers; and that not a majority of
resident qualified electors signed
the city's petition.
Mayor Carl Bruce was put on
the stand after noon yesterday and
testified that something like $75,-
000 or $80,000 had been spent al-
ready in the new a idition, includ-
ing the laying of water lines, the
service of a trash disposal pickup
and other benefits.
According to City Hall records,
delinquent taxes amount to $114,-
000 and although some of this is on
property in the old city limits, the
major portion is on the new area
of property within the city limits.
Located in the new area are 2,-
243 acres of land. Actual cash
value of the property is estimated
at $15,000,000. The city’s assessed
valuation is $5,000,000, or one-
third of the actual estimated cash
value. The city is then due $100,-
000 in tax revenue from the prop-
erty, based on a tax rate of $2 on
the $100 valuation.
A penalty of eight per cent is
added to any delinquent tax, re-
gardless of the length of time it is
delinquent.
Coldest Weather
Of Year Hits
East, Southland
BY UNITED MESS
The East Coast and the South-
land shivered today in the cold-
est weather of the season.
A cold front swept as far south
as Florida, dropping temperatures
to 30 at Jacksonville, 25 at Talla-
hassee, 19 at Atlanta and 1* at
Nashville. Frost was reported in
many sections of Dixie.
At New York, the mercury was
expected to hover below freezing
throughout the day. The city's
minimum of 23.1 degrees yester-
day was the coldest this autumn.
Residents of the Midwest and
plains states had little sympathy
for the Easterners and Southern-
ers. however. Temperatures have
been below normal, hanging near
or below the zero mark, since
Dec. 7.
Today, the mercury rose slight-
ly in the upper Mississippi Vr lley,
bringing the area light snow, but
forecasters said it would drop be-
low normal again tomorrow.
Snow also accompanied the cold
weather in the East and Water-
town, N.Y., reported a 10-inch
snowfall in ono hour yesterday.
Snow on Lake Eric hampered
the search for an 80-foot tug miss-
ing with a crew believed to num-
ber from five to 12 men on a trip
from Buffalo to Dunkirk, N.Y.
Rough sens swept two seamen
off a submarine operating near
Norfolk, Va„ last night and one
man was missing. The second was
rescued a few minutes after the
accident.

Truman Rejects
GOP Demand To
Remove Acheson
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. (U.R)—
President Truman today emphat-
ically rejected Republican de-
mands that he remove Secretary
of State Dean Achcson. He said
that if he were to follow these re-
quests, Communism and not this
country would be benefitted.
Mr. 'Human, taking cognizance
of new attacks on Acheson, said in
a prepared statement that "no of-
ficial in our government has been
more alive to Communism's threat
to freedom or more forceful in re-
sisting it."
The President read his statement
to a news conference.
Lntcr, in response to questions,
he flatly denied a published rumor
that Secretary of Defense George
C. Marshall would be succeeded
early next year by W. Stuart
Symington, chairman of the Na-
tional Security Resources Board.
He said Symington is going to
remain in his post, Marshall will
continue as Defense Secretary
and Robert A. Lovett will continue
as deputy to Marshall.
As to the reports of Marshall’s
early departure, the President said
bluntly that there was nothing to
them.
Mr. Truman used some of his
strongest language in defending
Acheson.
He said the authors of the de-
mand that he remove Acheson
from office—adopted by Senate
and House Republicans—claimed
"that this would be good for the
country.”
"How our position in the world
would be improved by the retire-
ment of Mr. Acheson from public
life is beyond me,” the President
Continued.
“Mr. Acheson helped shape and
carry out our policy of resistance
to Communist imperialism," he
said, and Acheson's efforts in this
direction followed a consistent pat-
tern over a number of years.
The President noted in his state-
ment that Acheson is in Bru/sels
working with the North Atlantic
Pact Council and had made it pos-
sible for him to designate Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower as supreme
allied commander of anti-Commu-
nist European defense forces.
Senate Banking
Committee OKs
Charles Wilson
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. (U.R)—
The Senate Banking Committee to-
day gave a quick and unanimous
okay to the nomination of Charles
E. Wilson as chief of the nation’s
mobilization drive.
Chairman Burnet E. Maybank,
D. , S. C., said he will ask the Sen-
ate to approve it tomorrow.
The 13 committee members act-
ed without hearing or debate be-
cause speed is essential in organ-
izing the defense effort, Maybank
said. Wilson, former General
Electric president, will be in
charge of defense mobilization
with powers second only to those
of the President.
The Senate is expected to give
its sanction to the appo'ntment
without argument.
Elsewhere in Congress:
Criticism- Rep. A. S. Herlong,
Jr., D., Fla., urged members of
Congress to re-examine themselves
and their "motives for criticism”
of others on grounds this is no
time for hindsight on the world
and national situation.
Emergency—A decision to take
a good look at Mr. Truman's re-
quests for emergency powers came
from Sen. Robert A. Taft, R.,
Ohio, who said they should not be
rushed through under special pleas
for speed. Taft's reaction came
when Democratic Leader Scott W.
Lucas, 111., introduced bills to give
Mr. Truman power to create new
bureaus and to ignore contract
laws for defense purposes.
Slot Machines—The Senate ap-
peared certain to pass an anti-slot
machine bill. The chief opponent
of the measure has had his voice
reduced to a whisper by laryngitis.

f. S. Forces Will Join
Europe Defense Group
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. (U.R)—
President Truman said today that
American troop* will bo seat to
Europe to join the anti-Communlst
defense forces under Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower just as soon as it is
possible to get them ready.
Mr. Truman appointed Eisen-
hower as supreme allied com-
mander of the European defense
forces at the request of the North
Atlantic Pact council meeting in
Brussels.
The President conferred by tele-
phone last night with Eisenhower,
who was in the Middle West. Mr.
Truman told reporters that Eisen-
hower will come to Washington
for a conference with him, then
report to his European post as
soon as possible.
The Chief Executive, in response
to news conference questioning,
said he would designate additional
American forces to be part of the
European Army. He would not
hazard a guess as to the time of
this action, but said the troops
would be sent to Europe just as
soon as it is possible to get them
ready.
At the moment, the U. S. has
virtually no troops ready. The
plans call for this country to sup-
ply 5 to 10 ground divisions, and
much air power.
Mr. Truman would not identify
the units to be committed, nor
would he say whether the units

New Uniforms For
Gladewater High
Band Ordered
Eighty new uniforms for the
Gladewater High School band
were ordered today for spring de-
livery, according to Superinten-
dent Dana Williams.
Band Director Bob Monzingo
said a set of specifications for a
snappier, dressier uniform is being
sent and a sample uniform will be
sent back for approval or altera-
tions.
One of the criticisms at the re-
cent Intcr&holnstic League March-
ing Contest in Henderson was of
the ill-fitting and ragged uniforms
of the local band.
The total cost of the uniforms
will be approximately $6,500, ac-
cording to Superintendent Wil-
liams. He stated, "with the fine
showing the band has made, they
are certainly deserving of the new
uniforms.”
would include National Guard di-
visions. Four guard divisions have
boon on active service since Sep*
tember and two more will go on
active duty January 16.
In describing Eisenhower’s job,
the President first said that the
job was exactly like that of Gen.
Douglas MacArthur, the United
Nations supreme commander in
Korea.
When newsmen questioned this,
the President explained that Mac-
Arthur actually is supreme com-
mander of allied forces in his area
and that would be Eisenhower’s
role in Europe.

reau said, with temperatures dur-
ing the afternoon generally in the

TOKYO. Wednesday, Dec. 20
(U.R)—U. S. 3rd Division troops in
the Hungnum beachhead backed
into a two by five mile escape
pocket along the waterfront Tues-
day as the revitalized North Ko-
rean Army announced it would in-
vade South Korea again with the
help of the Chinese Reds.
Fighting with thair backs to
tha taa along tha vital watar-
front ascapa docks, tha raar
guards bast off a succassion of
screaming "banzai" attacks in
which tha ravivad North Koraan
Army joinad tha Chinasa Com-
munists for tha first tima.
A vast Allied armada in Hung-
nam harbor helped beat back the
Red attacks with a flashing cur-
tain of fire. The armada included
three deadly rocket launcher ships
very close in to shore as well as
the battleship Missouri, six air-
craft carriers, two cruisers and
many destroyers and minesweep-
ers.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur esti-
mated the reconstituted North Ko-
rean Army at 150,000 men, with
50,000 in reserve within the sanc-
tuary of their Manchurian train-
ing grounds.
And tha Nc.th Korean gov-
ernment, which ha* established
its new capital in the mountain
city of Kanggye only 20 miles
south of the Manchurian border,
said these forces would join with
the Chinese Reds in a new in-
vasion of South Korea.
A government broadcast from
Kanggye said the Communist ar-
mies ir;end to invade South Ko-
rea, capture Seoul, establish a uni-
fied Korean government and drive
American troops from the country.
“Chinese volunteer units are be-
ing reinforced and they will fight
and cooperate with the Korean
peoples army to the final day of
unification of Korea and until the
invader troops of America are
driven from the territory of Ko-
rea,” the broadcast said.
“Participation of the Chinese
volunteer units Is not so unjust
and illegal as America charges. It
is perfectly rightful and legal."
The broadcast quoted a state-
ment "to the people of Seoul"
from the supreme council of the
Communist Korean government
to sabotage United Nations
forces in the Seoul aroa and pre-
vent the city's destruction.
Seoul police estimated that 300,-
000 refugees already have left the
threatened city or passed through
on their flight for safety to the
south.
The South Korean government
announced that Seoul would be
defended and began drafting thou-
sands of men between the ages of
17 and 40 for the fight.
In the! fighting withdrawal
against the massed Chinese Com-
munist and North Korean forces
the United Nations troops also
took time to lay a carpet of mines
and booby traps.
Although the Americans wsro
compressed into an area of only
10 square miles along the es-
cape docks, they still maintain-
ed a series of "burglar alarm"
outposts on th« plain west of
Hungnam and in the hills to tho
north and northeast.
The outposts warned the de-
fenders each time the besieging
Communists gathered for an at-
tack. The Reds were met each
time with massed fire from shops,
planes and land guns.
In the west, the U. S. 8th Army
front was quiet, but there was spec-
ulation that the North Korean Ar-
my, revived within the sanctuary
of Manchuria, may take up the
drive across the 38th parallel in
place of the Chinese Reds.

BRUSSELS, Belgium^Dec. 19.
(U.R)—The 12 Atlantic Pact nations
ended months of wrangling and
compromise today by giving a go-
ahead to limited German rearma-
ment—if the Germans are willing
—to help defend Europe against
Communism.
The nations also announced in
a communique issued at the end
of their two-day meeting that Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, liberator
of Europe in 1945, had been named

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. (U.R)—
Gen. Hoyt S. Vandcnberg, Air
Force Chief of Staff, announced
today that five Air National Guard
groups will be called to active
federal service February 1.
Vandcnberg said designations of
the units or of the bases at which
they will be assigned cannot be
announced because of security
reasons.
They presumably will be as-
signed to train with the two Na-
tional Guard divisions which will
be brought to active duty January

Woman Givsn Two Year
Sentence In Deat ,
EL PASO, Dec. 19. (U.R)—Red-
haired Mrs. Edna Mea was con-
victed today of beating to death
her mother and was sentenced to
two years in prison.
A jury returned the verdict at
1 a. m. and recommended the two-
year-term.
It was the second time 22-.vcar-
old Mrs. Mead was tried for the
death of 63-year-old Mrs. Ada
Bradford. The verdict against her
was returned one year and five
days after Mrs. Bradford's body
was found December 14, in the
family home at El Paso.
An earlier trial, last spring, re-
sulted in a deadlocked jury and a
declaration of mistrial.
The fatal fight between the
women, according to defense tes-
timony, stemmed from Mrs. Brad-
ford's attempt to break up her
daughter's marriage.
Mrs. Mead la the wife of Phillip
Mead, a musician. Mrs. Mead's
father died last October and the
young woman moved from Boston
to El Paso to live with her mother.
Mead waa studying voice in Boston
at the time, under sponsorship of
the Boston Symphony Society.

Gladewater school men were
hosts last night at a banquet in
the cafeteria to the East Texas
Men's School Club, at which Dr.
S. M. Brown of Tyler, newly elect-
ed president of the Texas State
Teachers Association was the prin-
cipal speaker.
About 150 administrat' rs, school
board members and guests were in
attendance. R. C. Beauchamp,
president of the club and super-
intendent of school at Backville,
was presiding officer.
Dr. Brown spoke on The Chal-
lenges to Education As I See It.

are attempting to undermine our
public school system, and further
stated that school people must be
on the i in developing a strong

“Amenta's real danger,” Dr.
Brown said, “is in collapse from
within rather than defeat from
abroad."
Entertainment features included

songs by Ken Bennett, and a hilar-
ious skit by the Country Hicks.
The cafeteria was decorated in the
Christmas theme by Bill Neale’s

The Atlantic powers also agreed
to set up a defense production
board with powers to “expand and
accelerate” armament production.
The Atlantic Council of Foreign
and Defense Ministers announced
their agreement on a Western
European Army to include Ger-
mans, if possible, at a hurriedly-
called press conference after they
adjourned. The communique was
released later.
The communique made it plain
it would be months before any re-
armament of Germany would be-
gin. It authorized the U. S., Great
Britain and France—the Western
occupying powers in Germany—
to begin negotiations with the Ger-
mans in an attempt to persuade
them to share in the defense of
Western Europe.

agrees, she will contribute 5,000-
man “combat teams" totalling one-
fifth of the 55 or 60 division At-
lantic Army.
The communique itself did not
go into any details about the ex-
tent of German rearmament that
would be allowed. It said only
there was agreement on the role

play in European defense. It also
gave the signal for France, Britain
and' the U. S. to start talks with
the West German Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer’s government.
