»We had a pleasant surprise yes-

sents the Scandanavian-American
Paper Company, shipped us about
live pounds of the finest cheese
that we have ever smacked our
lips over. We don't have the name
of it but sure will write a testi-
monial about it's goodness.

. Once in .a while it becomes nec-
essary to do something that you
don’t like to do. This is one of those
.jhnes. It is with a great deal of re-
□fet that we say goodbye to E. J.
SLAYMAN, who has been with us
almost since the Inception of this
paper. Mr. Slayman is a good
newspaper man and he will be
sorely missed around the old home-
stead. He’s going back to his first
love, the Alamo City, San Antonio,
and we wish him and his wife and
daughter, the best that can befall
anyone!
From the autobiography of WILL
SOGERS we found the followini
Statements that we believe you
enjoy:
"You got to sorter give and take
In this old world. We can get
mighty rich, but if we haven’t got
any friends, we will find we are
poorer than anybody. Nations are
just like individuals. They get mad
and fight just like individuals.
Their feelings are hurt even quick-
er than individuals. They do every-
thing just like one person. So thats
way it is with wealth and posi-
I. We might be the wealthiest
Nation that ever existed, we might
dominate the world in lots of
things, but as Nations are indivi-
duals, why we are just a Indivi-
dual and because we are richer
than all our Neighbors or than any-
body else, that dont necessarily
mean that we are happfer or really
better off.
“We dont all envy our Town or
State’s most wealthy man. We see
lots of reasons why we wouldent
Wade places with him. We not only
rook at his wealth but we look at
all the other sides to him. We may
know how he is all wet in lots of
ways. So we say, ’Yes he has got
money, but what else? We are
known as the wealthiest Nation of
all time. Well in the first place we
are not. The difference between our
rich and poor grows greater every
year. Our distribution of wealth is
getting more uneven all the time.
We are always reading, ‘How
many men payed over a million
wollar income tax.’ But we never
read about how many there is that
are not eating regular.
* “A man can make a million over
night and he is on every front page
in the morning. But it never tells
who give up the million that he
got. You can’t get money without
taking it from somebody. They
dont just issue out new money.
What you got tonight that you
dident have last night must have
come from somebody.”

Somebody said years ago that if
you want to blow, you might just
as well toot your own horn. We
don’t like to brag but yesterday
morning our chest stuck out about
three feet, following a conversation
with DEAN W. L. STANGEL of
Texas Tech. The Dean called us
and gave us the score on the steers
that the Old Shipper had on feed at
the college. These cattle were fed
196 days and when sold in Fort
Worth, dressed out a little better
Bhan sixty percent.
What they brought is not too im-
portant but the way they did it, is
what counts. They gained as much
as could be expected and some qf
the youth of our area learned howv
to feed cattle while getting them
ready for the market. Everythini
that went down the mouths
these bovines was grown
here in West Texas. y

Medic's Story
CLEVELAND, July 10 /P—A
steelworker belatedly told police
today he saw a strange man near
Vie Bay Village home in which
«r, Mrs. Marilyn Sheppard was slain
f a week ago.
He gave a description—tall,
bush haired, wearing a white
• shirt—which was similar to the one
related by Dr. Samuel Sheppard,
the victim’s husband, who says he
grappled with the man and was
hurt.
Leo Stawicki, 48, who lives
across town in Cuyahoga Heights,
^vent to the Bay Village police
Station today to tell his story.
He said he was returning from
a fishing trip at Sandusky, about
2:30 a.m. Sunday. Police believe
the murder occurred between 1
a.m. and 6 a.m.
The glare of his headlights clear-
ly showed a husky man of about
190 pounds, 6 feet tall, standing
by the side of the road in front
of the Sheppard house, and, "He
klnda stared at me as I passed.
He looked like he had a crew cut
%tiat had grown in,'’ said Stawicki.
The steelworker said he had not
thought much of the incident until
he read In a newspaper yesterday
that Dr. Sheppard described the
—Mbm’ as haring hnahy hair;
Dr. Sheppard, dictating his story
before a stenographer for the first
time, today answered questions for
the third straight day about the
slaying of his attractive 31-year-
old wife.

Poll Points
To Drivers
Bad Habits
By JERKY SINI8E
Special Staff Writer
In one hour we saw 20 drivers
break the law at the corner of
Kingsmill and Cuyler.
Their offenses varied from run-
ning the red light to failure to give
right Of way to pedestrians.
As car drivers we’re all aware
of the other fellows' mistakes and
what we see irritates most of us.
Asks Neighbors
For example out in our block we
polled some of the neighbors to find
out what irritated them most about
other drivers and asked what could
be done about the errors noted.
Half of the eight talked with
agreed that the offense they see
most often is making a right hand
turn from the left hand lane or vice
versa. The others mentioned “back-
ing without looking," “driving down
the center of tiie street," "plain
carelessness.”
The answer Mrs. Mary Clark, 31,
604 Doucette, gave to our query
was:”What annoys me most is to
have someone make a right hand
turn from the left hand lane.” One
of the offenses we noted from our
street corner lookout.
More Arrests?
“It doesn’t seem that law en-
forcement is as strict as it should
be in Pampa,” Mrs, Clark said.
"Perhaps more arrests for viola-
tions would make drivers more
aware of what they’re doing.”
She was schoed in her state-
ments by 'Mrs. Melva Jones, 21,
600 Doucette, who added that her
irritation is “this going down side
streets at fast speeds where there
are children playing. There are a
few drivers like that in every
block.”
Mrs. Jones’ suggested solution to
the traffic situation as a whole was
that "people should follow the
Golden Rule more. Courtesy should
be the major rule of the road.”
t l-carn The Laws
Mrs. Jean Scott, 28. 608 Dou-
cette, pointed out that “passing on
the left, especially at intersections,
when I’m not making any turn”
irks her.
"What could be done about it?

10 Bushels Is
Still Average
Yields all the way from two to
31 bushels are being reported by
local wheat elevator operators but
the usual report is around 10
bushels.
The 31 bushels was on a small
plot while Laketon Wheat Growers,
Inc., had one customer with 22M.
The’customer, however,'is from
Wheeler county and the gain can-
not be credited here.
Most operators believe the har-
vest is about over and one predict-
ed that it will end by Wednesday.
Only a few farmers, Cutting late,
were coming in Saturday and stor-
age space was shrinking.
Shivers Will
Attend Rodeo
Gov. Allan Shivers will visit
Pampa to attend a performance of
the annual Top O’ Texas Rodeo and
Kid Pony Show. He wired that he
will be present for the Aug. 6
show.
No other state officials were in-
vited. It is expected that Rep. Wal-
ter Rogers, congressman from
this district, will attend and the
governor probably will have some
members of his staff with him.
Program arrangements for Gov.
Shivers entertainment are waiting
on word from him. He was asked
to designate which day he would
be here and now a wire has gone
to him asking for more details,
such as time and place of arrival
and how long he plans to stay.
Arrangements were made
through Curtis Douglass, Pampa
attorney.

Adlai Claims
Hoover Policy
EUGENE, Ore., July 10 -UP—
Adlai Stevenson, launching the 1954
congressional campaign in the
West, said Saturday the adminis-
tration’s natural resources pro-
gram was a throwback to the
“Hoover policy of 1931.”
In a speech to a state Democrat-
ic rally here, Stevenson said admin-
istration policies nav4 resulted in
a “drastic change in what has been
virtually a bi-partisan natural re-
sources policy. .
Stevenson criticized Secretary of
Interior Douglas McKay and Sen.
Guy Cordon (R-Ore), newly elect-
ed chairman of the Senate Interior
and Insular Affairs committee. Re-
ferring to former President Her-
bert Hoover, he said, "Few re-
numbered that in 1931 when Amer-
ica was trying so hard to get back
to work, President Hoover vetoed
the first large - scale attempt to
develop the nation’s hydro-electric
power.”
He said the administration lead-
ership “which promised in the
courting days of 1952 not to 'turn
back the clock’ has apparently al-
most abandoned the basic multi-
ple-purpose idea of hydro-develop-
ment in favor-of the Hoover policy
of 1931.” ,

• Three hundred United Presk
transmitters are distributed across
the country. The Spokesman is one
of these and can transmit as well

age of 80 pictures* are sent daily.
In addition to the United States
network, UP has a European net-
work and regular broadcast peri-
ods to South America, Europe,
Japan and Australia.
The new machine is entirely auto-
matic and requires no attention
other than removal of the complet-
ed photographs from a self-winding
roll. All pictures transmitted on the
nationwide circuit will be received
by the Spokesman. All of them, of
course, cannot be used.

Slayman Resigns
As Spokesman's
Managing Editor
E. J. Slayman, Spokesman man-
aging editor, has resigned and
will return to San Antonio where
he lived before coming to Pampa.
J. N. McKean, general manager
for the newspaper, said he had ac-
cepted Slayman’s resignation with
regret.
"The editorial department under
Slayman's guidance won several
outstanding awards in the 1954 Tex-
I ns Press Association Newspaper
Contests that helped the Spokes-
man win first place, and the Sweep-
stakes Award for the state,” Mc-
Kean said. “We hate to lose him.”
Slayman has accepted a news
position with the San Antonio
Light. He, his wife Bet'i, and
daughter, Judy, moved to Pampa
in January of 1953. He was a for-
mer staffer of the San Antonio
News and Express and had worked
on other daily newspapers in Okla-
homa and Texas.
R. L. Getty. Bartlesville, Okla.,
will replace Slayman. Getty was
editor of the Bartlesville Examin-
er-Enterprise and will move, with
his wife, to Pampa early this week.
Dispossession
Hearing Slated
A hearing on an injunction on
dispossession of Mr. and Mrs. Jim
Storms from 1337 Duncan has been
set for Sept. 6 in 31st district court
and notice of appeal was filed
Saturday.
Judge Lewis M. Goodrich June 29
anted a temporary injunction to
and Mrs. Storms, who in their
suit against Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Howard Threatt claimed they were
unlawfully dispossessed May 18.
The original order arose out of a
justice of peace judgment in Octo-
ber, 1951, ruling loss of the prop-
erty because of $5,500 borrowed
from Mrs. Threatt before her mar-
riage.

Union Halts
Crippling
Atom Strike
WASHINGTON, July 10 /PA
strike threatening production of
atomic and hydrogen bombs was
called off today and a "gratified”
President Eisenhower discarded
plans to seek a. Taft-Hartley law
injunction against it.
CIO atomic workers voted 329-96
to return to work immediately at
the atomic energy project near
Paducah. Ky., reversing a decision
last night to continue the walkout.
Folkiw Example
In accepting a back-to-the-job
plan worked out by Secretary of
Labor Mitchell and CIO President
Walter Reuther, the Paducah em-
ployees followed the example of
strikers at Oak Ridge, Tenn., who
voted last night to end their walk-
out.
The peace plan calls for a gov-
ernment review of health, housing
and community problems of all the
nations atomic workers.
In all, 1,000 workers were in-
volved in the Paducah strike and
3,500 at Oak Ridge, although all
did not participate in the ballot-
ing.
AFL Didn’t Join
AFL workers at Oak Ridge had
also voiced demands but did not
join in the strike.
When word was flashed to the
White House that the Paducah em-
ployees had accepted the peace
plan, the President’s press secre-
tary, James C. Hagerty said:
"The President has just been in-
formed by the secretary of labor
that the work stoppage at the
Paducah atomic energy plant has
been ended and that the CIO work-
ers have voted to return to their
jobs.
Special Tribute
“The President desires to give
special public tribute to those AFL
workers at Oak Ridge and super-
visory personnel at both locations
who recognized the importance of
the national security aspects of
their jobs and who did not leave
them.
"He is also gratified that the
CIO members returned voluntarily
to work and that the plants will
soon be restqped to normal opera-
tion. The return to work now

HANpi, Indochina, July 10 /P —
The people of this northern Indo-

rush to get out ahead of the Reds,
and Americans without urgent bus-

once.
The anti-Communist Vietnamese
are leaving by hundreds daily for

face the keen possibility of life
under the Vietminh here.
Those leaving are fearful that
the French may hand over this
great industrial city to Ho Chi

minh.
U.S. Consul Turner Camron told
American correspondents the situ-
ation in Hanoi is very serious and
that he told Americans who have
no urgent business here to leave
while commercial planes are still
available.
The Americans here include 15 to
22 U.S. government officials and
agency personnel. 8 to 12 news
correspondents, a teacher, a stu-
dent and 4 to 6 missionaries. The
number varies with travel move-

I.UBBOCK, Tex.,
Texas Tech came up
new answer to that old question:
Where is West Texas?
The answer, not calculated to
please Fort Worth which calls it-
self “Where the West begins”:
West Texas is that part of Texas
west of a line between Stephens
and Shackelford counties.
That line is three tiers of coun-
ties west of Fort Worth.
Tech's division of business ad-
ministration provided answers to
many other West Texas questions
in a handbook entitled West Texas
Basic Economic and Population
