Long Range Plan
For Economic Aid
To Europe Killed
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6 (A3) —
The administration took some—
but not all — of the opposition
heat off the Marshall plan today
by junking the $17,000,000,000
cost estimate for long range eco-
nomic aid for Europe.
Suggested by Chairman Van-
denberg (R-Mich) of the senate
foreign relations committee, the
action was generally hailed in
congress as removing one major
stumbling block toward approval
of a four-year recovery program.
However, Senator Millikin of
Colorado, who heads the confer-
ence of all Republican senators,
made it plain that many in his
party want still other changes
made.
Speaking on a radio program
sponsored by the Republican Na-
tional committee last night, Milli-
kin predicted eventual approval
of a “sane” foreign assistance pro-
ject. But he told his listeners:
“A decent regard for what is
in the hearts of the American
people requires that the aid shall
not imperil our own economy and
shall be of a nature that will help
our friends abroad help themsel-
ves.”

for the army was authorized. The
Greeks had asked an increase of

Governor Okays
$179,000 Transfer
To Prison System
AUSTIN, Tex., Jan. 6 (A3)—Gov.
Beauford H. Jester today ar-
ranged for the transfer of $179,-
000 from the State Highway de-
partment to the Texas prison sys-
tem to help relieve an approach-
ing crisis in its food fund short-
age.
The money is to pay for steel to
go into the making' of next year’s
automobile license plates, made
at the prison for the highway de-
partment on a no-profit basis.
Payment now for the steel in-
stead of after delivery of the
plates permits the prison to use
an equal amount of its own
money which has been tied up in
anticipation of the expense, the
governor said.
. The relief will carry the pris-
on’s depleting food budget to
June 1, after which the governor
promised to use his deficiency re-
serve fund to assure no hunger
among the prisoners.
The prison’s new general man-
ager, O. B. Ellis, said he was cer-
tain the prison could produce
more food than it has been pro-
ducing in order to further aid the
feeding situation by June 1.
The arrangement was reached
at a conference today between
Ellis, Prison Board Chairman W.
C. Windsor of Tyler, Board Mem-
ber French M. Robertson of Abi-
lene and Gov. Jester.

Strange Malady
Deaths Close Up
Midland Schools
MIDLAND, Tex., Jan. 6 (A3)—
Midland schools remained closed
today “until further notice” be-
cause of an unidentified respira-
tory disease which has caused
seven deaths among young chil-
dren since mid-December, most of
them within the past week.
No children under 12 years of
age were admitted to churches
Sunday schools or movies. Health
officers, school officials, pastors
and movie operators all worked
together to combat the illness
which has affected more than 100
Midland children.
The disease still has not been
definitely diagnosed. Symptoms
were reported much like diph-
theria — rapidly mounting tem-
perature, obvious congestion of
the lungs and extreme difficulty
in breathing. In its final stages
the disease is said literally to
choke its victims to death.
Laboratory specimens of the
staked out the lines for a fight of
their own to cut taxes and slash
government spending.
There were these session-eve
developments to indicate that dull
moments will be few and far be-
tween:
1. Chairman Taber (R-NY)
of the House Appropriations
committee called the presi-
dent’s reported budget of $40,-
000,000,000 “too damn high”
and promised to whittle it down
to size.
2. Chairman Knutson, (R-
Minn) of the House Ways and
Means committee reiterated his
determination, with leadership
backing, to jam through a $5,-
600,000,000 tax reduction bill
which will provide at least a
percentage reduction for every-
body.
3. The administration aban-
doned its attempt to have con-
gress specify a possible $17,-
000,000,000 outlay for European
recovery over the next four
years but ran into new Repub-
lican demands for further alter-
ations in the hotly debated
Marshall program.
4. Top GOP leaders in both
senate and house fired' a verbal
broadside at the administration
and blamed it for the present
high cost of living.
What the president will say in
tomorrow’s state of the union
message, or the exact amount he
will ask in his budget message
next Monday, remained official
secrets. But there were forecasts
that Mr. Truman will mince no
words.

Officers Catch
Local Man Trying
To Enter Store
Apparent attempts of a local
man to break into Levine’s De-
partment store, 115 West Califor-
nia street, at 9 p. m. Monday
were foiled by members of the
police department and sheriff’s
department.
The sheriff’s office was noti-
fied by Jess Sandlin, owner of
Jess’ Electric Shoe shop, 106
North Commerce street, Monday
night that some person was walk-
ing on the roof of his shop and
Levine’s.
Night members of the police
and sheriff’s forces formed a cir-
cle around the block and Police-
men Travis Robinson and Lee
Wilson ascended to the roof
through the Ritz theatre. They
caught the man attempting to
prize a piece of tin from a win-
dow of the department store.
The man carried, a pair of rub-
ber gloves, a homemade screw
driver, three keyrings with in-
numerable-keys and a flashlight
in the form of a pencil. When
questioned as to why he was at-
tempting to break into the estab-
lishment, he replied that he in-
tended to go to Dallas Tuesday to
try to find work and he needed
some money. He said he had been
without employment since Christ-
mas.
The man was taken to the city
jail and later transferred to the
county "ail. According to Sher-
iff Emor Horn, charges had not
been filed at noon Tuesday.
The case is being investigated
further.
For the past several months the
block in which the department
store is located has been subject
to attempted burglaries.
•-------------------------------
company, Vandervoort’s Inc., and
Boswell Dairies of Fort Worth,
have, since the lifting of OPA
controls July 1, 1946, operated un-
der an agreement or understand-
ing to fix and maintain the price
on the purchase of raw milk from
producers.
It is further alleged that all the
companies, except Cabell’s, Inc.,
fixed and maintained a uniform
price on sales of pasteurized milk
and other milk products, elim-
inating competition and creating
a trust in restraint of trade.
The eight corporations are al-
leged in the suit to have con-
trolled 90 per cent of the raw
milk purchases within Dallas,
Tarrant, Johnson, Parker, Wise
and Denton counties and at least
90 per cent of the pasteurized
milk and milk products sold and
delivered to consumers and re-
tailers in Dallas and Tarrant
counties.
Daniel said other anti-trust
suits would follow “within a fetw.
days.” He declined to comment
on what companies or commodi-
ties would be included in the
other suits, but it is known that
bread and other consumer items
have been under investigation.
Investigations into uniform gaso-
line prices are still in progress.
The eight milk corporations are
alleged in the suit filed today to
have combined their acts to fix
and maintain prices paid for raw
milk to farmers and producers at
a uniform figure beginning July
7, 1946, with $4.90 per hundred-
weight for Grade “A” raw milk
and continuing with three other
uniform and simultaneous price
changes, the last occurring Nov.
23, 1947, Daniel said.
Further Allegation
It is also alleged that the com-
panies set a uniform decrease in
the purchase price of all raw milk
designated by them as “surplus”
during the months of May to
August, 1947, without any de-
crease in the prices of milk pro-
ducts to the consuming public.
The suit further alleges that
all the corporations except Ca-
bell’s Inc., combined their acts,
agreements and understandings
to fix and increase the prices on
all pasteurized milk and other
milk products sold to consumers
and retailers beginning on July
7, 1946, with an increase from 16
cents to 18 cents per quart on re-
tail sales and continuing with
three additional ‘ uniform in-
creases to the present retail price
of 21 cents per quart.
Corresponding uniform price
increases were alleged on whole-
sale milk prices and both retail
and wholesale prices on cream
and other milk products.
Asks Statutory Penalties
The state asks for statutory
penalties of from $50 to $1,500 per
day from July 1, 1946, to date of
the filing of the petition for the
alleged violations. Forfeiture of
the corporations’ charters was not
asked.
The anti-trust petition was
signed by Daniel and Assistants
Attorney General J. A. Amis, Jr.,
Charles D. Matthews, Clarence Y.
Mills, W. V. Geppert, Joe H.
Reynolds and Pat T. Peyton, Jr.
All of the assistants had partici-
pated in the investigations.
Daniel said it would be his of-
fice’s policy in connection with
the milk suit and all other anti-
trust suits to try them in the
courtroom rather in the forum of
public opinion or politics.
He said investigations of major
oil companies on uniform gasoline
prices would continue for several
more months. Sufficient evidence
has been obtained, he said, to jus-
tify the completion of this inves-
tigation.
“No further comment will
be made thereon until it has
been finished,” he declared.
Two Trapped by
Fires Injured
In Gainesville
Two persons were injured in
fires Monday night and early
Tuesdav morning, both being tak-
en to Gainesville sanitarium for
examination and treatment.
Mrs. Mack Haney, 604 West
Broadway, received a; sprained
back when she leaped from the
second floor of her two-story resi-
dence at 7:45 a. m. Tuesday as
the house was gutted by fire. She
was taken to the sanitarium in a
George J. Carroll and Son ambu-
lance and was x-rayed. It was
determined the sprain was not
serious.
The Haney family, consisting of
the husband, wife and a small
child, was awakened Tuesday
morning by the flames consuming
their home. Mr. Haney pitched
the baby out of the second story
window into the arms of Mrs.
Jeannette Sidener, 602 West
Broadway, owner of the Haney
residence.
Mrs. Haney then leaped to the
ground, injuring her back. Mr.
Haney had managed to escape
through the front portion of the
home.
The house was badly damaged
and the contents were a complete
loss. There was no insurance car-
ried on either house or contents.
The origin of the fire was un-
known.
