GARLAND, Tex., July 9 (AP)
—Rape charges were filed today
against three Negro men accused
of participation in the rape of a
17-year-old white girl early to-

Voters gave the plan a 267 to 61
margin.
This amount will now be added
to $950000 approved earlier by
local taxpayers for the program.
Since the earlier approval, how-
ever, Orange County Water Con-
trol and Improvement District 1

estimates show that costs of install-
ing the facilities has increased by
the supplementary amount cov-
ered in yesterday’s bond election.

Foreign Ministry for information
concerning Marton, but was'Re-

Did you ever stop a moment
and feel sorry for the poor be-
wildered postal carriers struggling
to figure out whether or not Sam
Jones lives on 2nd street in Or-
ange. West Orange, Brownwood
or Bland Addition? •
If you don’t think that's just
one problem arising from a dupli-
cation of street names in the
greater Orange area stop by the
Postoffice and talk it over with
Postmaster Howard Turner. He
can elaborate at length on how
much confusion can and does re-
suit from the lack of imagination
in naming subdivision streets.
Study Problem
Turner and other interested city
and county officials have formed
a committee and are taking pre-
liminary steps to correct the situa-
tion. In this regard Turner has
compiled a list of street duplica-
tions whjch is extensive to say
the least.
For instance on numbered
streets Orange has listings from
1st through 24th streets. West Or-
ange from 1st to 6th. Brownwood
from 3rd through 8th and Bland
Addition, 1st through 5th streets.
That isn't too bad, but it isn't
very good either.
More Confusing

ing. For Instance there is Sunset

NEW YORK. July 9 (AP)—A
damp-eyed boy of 17 and a sul-
len pal of 21 were jailed today
as the perpetrators of probably
the greatest Atlantic Ocean dis-
aster hoaxin history.
Authorities said it was they who
sent out the sensational—and
phony—radio SOS early Thurs-
day which set off an uproar along
half the Eastern seaboard.
A huge array of ships and
planes searched a 4,000-mile area
in a futile 30-hour search for a
flaming "fishing boat” as well as
a "foreign submarine" which sup-
posedly took aboard 21 surviy6s
and vanished.' The Coast Guard
estimated the search cost $50,000.

Annexation
Matter Due
For Revival
Although the petition for the
annexation.pf about 200 acres of
land from the Little Cypress
School District to the Orange In-
dependent School District was
withdrawn Friday night during a
meeting of the Orange County
Board of Education, the matter is
likely to be presented again.
That' was the inference left by
Atty. Graham Bryce who, with
Frank Zeto of Zeto Enterprises,
attended the meeting held in .the
county courtroom. Also attending
were Little Cypress Supt. E. A.
Bates, Orange Supt. Dr. Frank Hu-
bert, A. J. Bean, business man-
ager at Little Cypress, and Dr.
Bascom Hayes, assistant commis-
sioner of education for the Texas
Education Agency. Dr. Hayes was
a house guest of the Huberts.
The Orange board last week de-
clined to accept the 200 acres un-
less petitioners would include the

disapproved that.

Desegregation Plan
Scored by Negroes
AMARILLO, July 9 (AP) — A
plan which Supt. Charles M. Rog-
ers says will tend segregation in
the Amarillo public schools by
Sept. 1. has heeh criticized by Ne-
gro leaders here as “a shameful
attempt at evasion” of the Su-
preme Court ruling.
The plan, which received in-
formal approval by six of the sev-
en members of the school board
Thursday night, is to be considered
formally Monday night.
The plan provides for the set-
ting up of attendance areas for the
Iwo Negro elementary schools as
is done for other elementary
schools in the city, setting the at-
tendance area of the Negro high
school to include the areas served
by the two Negro schools, and pro-
viding for the transfer of students.
The recommendation for the
, transfer of students as proposed
r by Rogers states “A transfer of
an individual pupil may be made
from one attendance area to a
school in another attendance area
for good and sufficient reasons
considering the best interest of the
pupils and the schools."

COLBURN most municipal
improvements derive their reve-
nues largely from the sale of serv-
ices such as water, sewer and gas
Public Utilities
in my opinion, it is much better
for this city to derive a substan-
tial portion of its income from
municipally owned waterworks,
sewer system and gas distribution
system than to continue to place
the entire burden on homeowners
and business.
3. I certainly do believe the city
should own and operate the water
works.
In my opinion, the city could
buv the water works system and
make a net profit of more than
$75,000 annually. This is much
better and less painful than get-
ting all of the city income from
property taxes.
Circumstances Govern
4. This will depend entirely up-
on circumstances and which way
development move* and the abili-
ty of the city to comply with the
necessary requirements for giving
services. If the bond issue for the
purchase and extension of the
water system and the extension of
the sewer system was voted in
sufficient amount, I think this
would make it possible for the cify
to decide more certainly on any
proposition of annexation or de-
velopment of property now with-
in the city. f

Why? '
I believe the water works ques-
tion should be put to a vote of
the people. If jt passes I will be
for it 100 per cent.
4.-What policy, in your opinion,
should the city follow in regard
to annexation of territory?
I feel that the annexation of
property should be an asset to the
city and not another liability to
the city and taxpayers.

No.
6. What planning do you ad-

I believe that we can have more

More Income Needed
A city that depends entirely on
ad valorem taxes cannot prog-
ress. We must find other sources
of income if Orange is to take its
rightful place in the tremendous
growth of the Gulf Coast area. I
have several plans, which will be
presented to the people, for in-
creasing revenue
3. Do you believe the City of
Orange should own and operate
a waterworks? Why?
Yes, Orange is the only city ip
the state its size that does not
own U waterworks. Aner making
a study of 12 cities comparable in
size with Orange, I find they are
all operating waterworks at a
sizeable profit. Why not Orange?
I will work to see that the citizens
are properly informed on the
feasibility of Orange owning the
waterworks, if the waterworks can
be purchased with revenue bonds
and not with tax bonds. The
citizens should make the decision.
Annexation Polley
4. What policy, in your opinion,
should the city follow in regard
to annexation of territory?
I believe a planning committee
of citizens should be appointed
to make a study of the future
growth of Orange and make rec-
ommendations for expansion of
tbe city. When the city is in a
position to give annexed territory

Your first question—Do I in-
tend to support the city manager
form of government in every re-
spect? «
My answer is that I will support
it in-all instances unless it is not
to the best interest of the City of
Orange to do so. Ther is no sys-
tem that is perfect and I stand
for the betterment of Orange.
Since we operate under the city
manager form, I will cooperate
toward the betterment of Orange
and do my utmost to make the
system of city managership work.

the past. That is actually the only
issue in this campaign. Despite
what side issues are being injected
through frantic campaigning on
the part of the opposition, this re-
mains the primary objective. Ru-
mors, half-truths and falsehoods,
all delightfully, embroidered, are
being circulated which appeal to
the emotions and individual pre-
judices. During the past week an
intensive visiting tour has been
made of the 2nd street area by op-
” ponents of the city manager sys-
tem currying favors and votes.
Whether or not this campaign-
ing is successful will be trans-
lated at the polls in the terms of
. votes. Persons whose opinions I
respect in this regard have com-
mented that support from this sec-
tion of Orange will be in favor of
city manager candidates. However,
that remains to be seen.,
it can be anticipated that
campaigning will be stepped up
considerably in the final week
remaining before the election.
You can expect considerable
heat from city manager oppon-
ents on a number of issues in
an attempt to befog and con-
fuse Orange voters. A persist-
ent effort is being made along
this line on the 1955-1956 bud-
get which is in the process of
being prepared. Opponents of
ment can often
be misleading
unless the w hole
context is taken
into considera-
tion. Therefore,
I am requesting
that my entire
letter be printed

a it at all. This
