Fall Weather

Weather forecasters said Wed-
nesday an unusual fall "heat
wav •" which for the past two
weeks has pushed temperatures a-
bove the 100-majk in most parts
if Texas, was expected to return
to tht state for the next few days.
Ski's were clear and no rain was
in sight. A cool wave, headed for
Texas and expected to lower tem-
peratures 10 degrees over the nor-
thern area of the state, appar-
ently died out before reaching Te-
xas.
Forecasters said a dry, stable ait
mass was hanging over the state
ind would be responsible for the
sweltering temperatures. Any hope
•if brisk, fall weather is appar-
ently far away.
Lufkin recorded Wednesday's

posed and grew vegetation and
the recovering of this by water
had produced excellent food. How-
■ver, this very fact probably con-
tributes some to decrease in catch-
es of some types of fish.
The proposition of putting in
five million bass fingerlings was
presented as a bass solution, but
this raised another problem. Last
year's total fingerling production
iri the eleven state hatcheries was
little more than ten million. The
hatchery at Possum Kingdom was
hit by a fungus that destroyed
thousands of eggs, a condition that
has been worked on constantly and
may be near solution.
Those present at the meeting
agreed that a conceited effort on
the part of all the people interest-
ed in Possum Kingdom Lake would
be needed if any positive action
was to be taken on the restocking
problem.

Know What Tail Of
Light in Sky Was
L. E. Beck. Breckenridge, call-
ed the American office this
morning to ask if there had
been any report of "something
falling out of the sky."
None had been reecived, but
Beck said that about 4:15 o'cloc.
this morning about seven miles

of blue light in the sky. It was
so low that he stopped his car,

The tail lost its color after
it had moved two or three miles
to the south, and Beck wants to
find out what he saw.

layer Asks Aid
in Putting Over
Community Chest
Announcement was made toda;
that there will be a meeting of the
board of directors of the Com-
munity Chest tonight at 7:30 o'-
clock at the Y. M. C. A. to put the
finishing touches on plans for the
Community Chest drive.
In connection with the funds
campaign Mayor P. M. Faulkner
said Thursday moring: "I am hap-
py to say a word in the interest
of the Community Chest.
"First, let me say I strongly
endorse it. It is inherent in us to
be sympathetic toward aged or un-
fortunate people. No one wants
to be helpless when they are old,
but it may come to any of us. The
same can be said of misfortune,
yet we may be the next. The least
we should do would be to give a
little financial aid to these people."
The following organizations are
helping to carry on this good work:
Goodfellows, Underprivileged Chil-
dren, Emergency Charities, T. B.
Association and Cancer Society.
"Let each of us be thankful that
we are not the one that needs help
and therefore give liberally.
Youth Work Praised
"I have worked with children
and old people since I became old
enough. My heart goes out in
sympathy for them. To some oldet
people the youth problems are un-
important, but to the youth his
problems may be all important, in
fact it may decide his future life.
I think it is necessary that we
take them into our confidence and
help them make these decisions, if
we expect goo'f citizens. How can
we west do this work? It is true
that the churches and schools are
doing a great work, but it is my
opinion that this work should be

Texas Pointed To
As Danger Spot
DALLAS, Oct. I (U.RJ— Former
Communist Dr. Bella Dodd, now
dedicated to helping undo the da-
mage she did - as a Red agent,
said last night Texas is one of the
danger points of communism.
The graying woman lawyer told
i Pro-America meeting in Dallas
that "the Communists will concen-
trate on Texas because it is large,
wealthy and has a lot of prestige.
However, she said Texas and
the South will be a stronghold ag-
dnst the inner Communist work-
ng because they are in the "Bible
belt."
Dr. Dodd, speaking harshly of
"intellectuals," said she would
take one "Bible-shouting Texan"
'o a dozen intellectuals of the
East when it comes to combating
•he philosophy of Communist life
She said it would do no good to
?o look under beds for Commun-
sts. Instead, she said, each pcr-
!on should look at themselves to
see just what they might be do-
ing to aid communism.

"Stiles of pistols have increased
in to 1 over normal :b the last few
lays," a spokesman for the Thur-
nart Randie.Gun Store said.
"They're buying pistols and am-
munition. They're practically driv-
ing us crazy with calls."
Mrs. Parker was the mother of
a four-year-old son and had to
work because her husband is in a
tuberculosis sanitarium. She work-
ed in a Ill-cent store in Walnut
Hill Village, about a half a mile
above the bridge.
Grabbed on Bridge
She walked from the store a-
eross the bridge to get her son,,
whom a woman was keeping in a
house about 200 yards from where
she was killed. The rapist appar-
ently grabbed her on the bridge.
He pulled her down behind a
clump of willows and sunflower
plants not 50 feet from the inter-
section of Shorecrest Road and
Lernmon Ave.—one of the busiest
intersections in Dallas—and there
apparently raped her, and cut her
throat.
Half-dressed, she staggered out
on the road and a passing motor-
ist took her to Love Municipal
Field. Mrs. Parker died in a poli-
ceman's arms, after whispering
that a N«^jro had cut her.
The first suspect arrest, the 24-
year-old Negro, was on foot and
fully clothed when he was arrest-
ed, Homicide Capt. Will Fritz said.
Police noted that the nude
prowler, who makes a habit of
slipping into homes while occu-
pants are away, generally carries
a long knife. About a month ago,
a Negro with a long knife raped a
13-year-old woman in her bed a-
bout five'miles from the scene of
Wednesday night's murder.
He escorted her to a nearby-
park, with the knife in her back,
and there raped her twice. After
beating her with a pipe, he fled.
Police said laboratory tests t.o
determine whether Mrs. Parker
was raped had not been completed,
but all outward indications were
that she was ravished.
Greenlease Parents Tearfully Wait
For Word From Kidnapers Of Son
KANSAS CITi", Oct. 1 <U.H>—
Mystery and tension grew Thurs-
day in the kidnap case of six-year-
old Bobby Greenlease.
There was no evidence his ab-
ductress has attempted to contact
the wealthy, grief-shattered par-
ents.
Police, working quietly and "ex-
actly as the family wishes," re-
peated throughout the night there
