HAVANA, Aug. 24. (UP)—An
unknown person unsuccessfully at-
tempted to blow up a large cement
plant at Mariel today, and escaped
after slightly wounding a soldier.
The EH Morro plant where the
sabotage attempt occurred, is one
of the largest in this area, and is
engaged in manufacturing cement
for a U. S. Army airport at San
Antonio De Loe Banos.
Soldiers found Private Oscar
Alonso a sentry wounded in his
head. A bottle of gasoline was
found connected by two wires with
a tank containing 50,000 barrels
of oil. Had the explosion occur-
red, it is believed the plant would
have been wrecked.

creasing it at tmies, until nearly
11 o’clock Saturday night.
A map in the Texas election bu-
reau offices was studded with red
and blue pins, blue for O’Daniel,
red for Allred.
Through the early part of the
count, the pins seemed almost
equally divide But, as the rural
precincts turned in their count,
the color changed. Red pins disap-
peared and blue ones blossomed.
Had Allred been able t) pile up
a more sizeable lead in the city
precincts, he might have withstood
the O’Daniel surge. For the Hous-
ton man, who resigned a federal
judgeship to make -he race, ran
well in the rural coznties, reduc-
ing materially earlier O’Daniel
majorities in those sections.
In the first primary Allred re-
ceived about 32 per cent of the
vote cast to O’Daniels more than
48 per cent. At thie last tabula-

per cent of the total.

These were the first actions
taken by the committee as it
began rewriting the $6,270,000,-

Finance Chairman Walter F.
George, D., Fla., indicated that
the committee would consider this
afternoon a sub-committee report
on the Ruml plan to place income
tax collections on a current basis
by “forgiving” taxes on 1941
income. A sub-committee decided
this morning to recommend adop-
tion of the plan.
The plan sponsored by J.
Beardsley Rumi, New York de-
partment store executive and
chairman of the Federal Reserve
bank of New York involves a
bookkeeping transaction whereby
taxes owed on income received in
1941 would be wiped off the
books.
Taxes being paid this year are
on 1941 income, under the present
income tax system. Rumi’s plan
would apply these taxes toward
the amount owed on 1942 income.
The final amount due would be
computed next March. In some
cases where income fell off in
1942, the taxpayer would find
that he paid more than was neces-
sary and would receive a credit
from the government. In other

AT A BRITISH PORT, Aug. 24.
(UP)—American pilots, ground
crews, troops, nurses, planes,
tanks, guns and assorted equip-
ment were distributed to United
States army depots throughout
the British Isles today from the
greatest Atlanic convoy of this
war and one of the greateat of
all time.
The convoy was so big that it
was necessary to land it at several
ports, where special buses, trucks,
trains and even street can were
waiting to start the fighting men

Chairman Donald M Nelson, with
an announced goal" of providing
American fighters with "the stuff
that they need to beat the Axis

statement clearly establishing the
board’s control over materials, his
associates said today.
Some of Nelson’s critics have
contended that he was allowing
the armed services to take over
increasing control of the war ef-
fort, including the restrictions on
civilian life and non-military use
of scarce materials. Nelson, his
associates said, was not yet cer-
tain whether this statement would
be presented in letters to’ the
Army, Navy and Maritime Com-
mission, a general directive sup-
plementing previous priorities reg-
ulations, memorandums to inter-
ested groups or some other form.
Nelson proposes to* make it
clear that he will brook no inter-
ference by the armed services
with his ideas for granting prior-
ities on materials needed to build
war goods and vital non-military
items for civilians.
Officials said the non-military
requirements for railroads, tele-
phone companies, power plants
and other vital services must be
met it war plants are to operate
efficiently. Nelson is umpire to
see that vital non-military de-
mands are met—even if revisions
and contractions have to be mad

items.

O’Daniel Now
Is Certain of
6-Year Term
Maintains Lead
Of 12,000 Votes
Over Allred in
US Senate Race
DALLAS, Tex., Aug. 24.—(UP)
—W. Lee O’Daniel was assured
today of a full six-year term in
the U. S. Senate. With an esti-
mated 27,000 votes still uncount-
ed in the Democratic runoff, the
political wizard of the Texas Hust-
ings held a 12,331-vote lead over
James V. Allred.
Beaten without exception in the
larger cities of the state, "Pass
the Biscuits, Pappy,” the man
who paved the road to political
fame on homely philosophy and
hillbilly music, called on his old
strongholds at the forks of the
roads to wash out an early lead
and go on to clinch the nomina-
tion.
O’Daniel, elected by the narrow-
est margins last summer in nis
race to fill the unexpired term
of the late Morris Sheppard, now
has won the governorship twice
and the U. S. Senatorial race
twice — all in four years in the
center arena o-'. Texas politics.
In the Texas Election Bureau's
noon tabulation, with 866,285x2tes
in, O’Daniel had 439,308 and Alk
red, likewise a former Governor,
had 428,977.
The vote, soaring near the 900,-
000-mark, was a surprise to veter-
an observers of Texas politics,
who predicted a total nearly 100,-
000 below that figure. Even
weather conditions in some parts
of the state failed to keep the
voters at home.
Through the early hours of the
counting Saturday night, Allred
maintained a slight lead, on the
basis of the city vote. But the
rural boxes swung country coun-
ty after county into the O’Daniel
column to erase the Allred lead.

that the German occupied terri-
