AMARILLO. May 16. <V.PJ—
Towering thunderheads hang omi-

cue workers pick over the rubble
left by last night's tornado.
Red Cross reports had indicated
that six persons were dead. But
a check of hospitals and funeral
homes in the Texas Panhandle city
reveals only four bodies. Earlier
reports of a fifth victim, an un-
identified man, have not been veri-
fied.
Eighty-five other persons were •
injured, some seriously, and more'
than 20 persons are missing. But
It is believed that many are simply
out of touch with relatives or
friends in the general confusion.
Damage from the twister has
been estimated at more than one-
million dollars.
As soon as dawn's dim light
permitted, rescue drews swarmed
back into the 30-square block area
which bore the brunt of the storm.
They had been forced to give up

WASHINGTON. May 18. <HB)
A new chapter has been started
in the feud between the Navy and
the Air Force over the merits of
carrier and land-based bombers
in fighting an inter-continental
war.
The Navy has contended that
carriers are necessary to take
bombers to points where they can
hit the enemy. The Air Force
claims II has an inter-continental
bomber capable of striking at any
enemy in the world from land
bases in the continental United
States.
That bomber, the Air Force says,
is the B-38 which needs no fighter-
plane escort. It flies so high, ac-
cording to the Air Force, that no
enemy fighters can knock it down.
The Air Force has claimed that
Its , own beat f®11ten< have bee*
unable to intercept the B-38 suc-
cessfully.
Now, the Navy has taken that
up with a challenge to the Air
Force. It wants th* Air Force to
provide one or more B-38 planes
for a test against the Navy's best
fighter planes the Banshee jet
and th* Corsair piston-type
fighters.rlj •• •

ire for adulul
- w \eeive/ a Trfaque from the
Texas Safety Association, Inc., in recognition of its record
of having no traffic fatalities during the year 1948.
' In a letter accompanying the
plaque. Albert Sidney Johnson,
vice-president for traffic
safety.. told Mayor C. D. Dall-
meyer:
"Brenham was one of the 19
cities with leas than 10.000 popula-
tion which completed 1948 without
a traffic fatality.
"In recognition of that achieve-
ment. the Texas Safety Associa-
tion takes pleasure in presenting
the attached plaque to you on be-
half of the National Safety Coun-
cil.
"I want to extend our congratu-
lations and express the fervent
hope that Brenham will receive
a similar aWard for 1949."
Mayor Dallmeyer ex pressed
of the 16th District i pleasure upon receiving the plaque
and said he is proud pf the record
Brenham made in the last 12
months.
“We all should be proud of our
record, and I hope everyone will
exercise extreme care to make
1949 another deathless year so
far as traffic in Brenham is cot-,
cerned," he said.
Chief OT Police Arthur Sternberg
also expressed pleasure at the rec-
ord in 1948, and he pointed out
that traffic fatalities in Brenham
are extremely rare. The worst
year^ he said, was 1948 when
three' persons lost their lives , in
traffic inside the city limits.
