TWO KILLED IN WRECK
DALLAS, Aug. 7 (AP) — Two
persons were killed in two Dallas
county traffic accidents early to-
day. Bob Lee Grant, 99, Dallas,
was crushed to death when his car
overturned and rolled over on
him. James Hill, 18, was killed
when he fell from a truck.
Absentee Voting Open
In Special City Election
No applications for absentee
ballots in the special city election
scheduled for August 24 had been
received by City Secretary Gil-
bert G. Holman Saturday morn-
ing.
Absentee voting was opened
Tuesday and will close August 20.
The special election was called to
fill vacancies on the city council
created by the resignations of Bob
Evans as alderman from the third
ward and Bob Brown as mayor.
The ballot carries the name of
one candidate for each office, Rol-
lon Welch having filed for mayor
and Ervin Bomar for aiderman.

“what did you plant?”
“Didn’t take no chances; didn’t
plant nothin’,” was the reply.
Austria doesn’t become a party
of it, and does not immediately
become a member of the com-
mission, the river will remain
cut in two.”
At present, the river is cut in
two at Linz, Austria, where the
Russians have blocked non-So-
viet shipping from moving down
the river since shortly after the
war ended. This has kept nearly
700 Danubian vessels — m os 11 y
barbes—empty and idle in the
American occupation zones of
Austria and Germany.
Cannon also declared that as
long as the United States occupies
part of Germany it will have a re-
sponsibility to represent German
interests in Danubian affairs.
“Let us not forget the direct
interest of the United States
which occupies a riparian posi-
tion on the Danube,” he said.
“The German sector of the Dan-
ube and the German Danube
fleet are inseparably connected
with the problems of this river.
“A Danube convention cannot
ignore this important sector of the
river. Until a sovereign German
government is established and is
granted full participation in a
Danube regime, the United States
will be responsible for represent-
ing German riparian interests.”
Cannon quoted Soviet Deputy
Foreign Minister Andrei Vishin-
sky as rejecting a large part of
the American proposals not only
for Russia but for the other six
Communist states represented at

Fire Department
Spends Busy Night
The Gainesville fire depart-
ment was kept busy Friday night
and Saturday morning, answering
three calls to fires, two of which
caused damages to property.
A cement truck owned by Hal-
liburton oil company turned over
at 1:50 a. m. Saturday six miles
west of Gainesville on highway
82, and the driver, J. M. Hollis,
Nocona, was injured.
The fire department was called
when the truck caught fire, and
a passing motorist brought Hollis
to the Medical and Surgical hos-
pital, where he was treated for
injuries. One fire truck used all
the water in its tank before the
flames were extinguished, and
another truck had to be called out
for relief at 2:10 a. m. It was
3:40 a. m. before the second truck
returned to the city.
At 4:30 a. m. Saturday, a ga-
rage fire at Mrs. Pearl Sullivant’s
home, 735 North Morris, caused
another alarm. The garage and
a 1936 Ford sedan were badly
damaged before the fire was ex-
tinguished.
The garage building and all its
contents except the car were cov-
ered by insurance.
Earlier in the night, firemen
were called at 10:50 p. m. to ex-
tinguish a grass fire eight miles

McGrath indicated this line of
attack with a challenge last night
to Gov. Thomas E. Dewey to call
on Republicans in congress to
vote stronger anti-inflation leg-
islation.
“The Republican party is to
blame for today’s dangerously
high cost of living,” McGrath said
in a statement. “If Governor Dew-
ey permits this congress to go
home without enacting a work-
able anti-inflation program, it
will be the most expensive sil-
ence in American history.”
The Democrats obviously hope
to emphasize by plenty of talk
any silence Dewey may maintain
on issues they have brought up.
The president himself is sched-
uled to take part in this in a big
way. Under present plans, he will

Rep. McDowell Charges ‘Mystery Man’ Pushed
Wartime Shipments of Atomic Material to Reds;
New Yorker to Testify Monday at House Hearing
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7 (AP).—Rep. McDowell (R-Pa)
declared today a “highly important man” in the government
“pushed” wartime shipments of atomic bomb material to
Russia.
A second official, he said, okayed the shipments.
McDowell withheld'both names, but he said the two men will be
asked for examinations soon in special public hearings to follow the
House Un-American Activities committee’s investigation of alleged
Russian spy operations in the United States.
McDowell said that in 1943 Russia got 2,720 pounds of uranium
compounds, and in 1945 about 25 pounds of uranium metal—all be-
fore the first A-bomb was dropped on Japan.

Asks Secretary to
Wait on Certifying
Demo Nominees
AUSTIN, Aug. 7 (P)—A leader
of the states rights Democrats to-
day demanded that Secretary of
State Paul H. Brown wait until .
after the September conventions
to certify the Democratic presi-“
dential and vice-presidential nom-
inees.
“Mr. Brown has no moral or
legal authority at this time to
accept Truman as the Texas nom-
inee for in so doing he would vio-
late the decree of the Brownwood
convention which denounced
Truman and his civil rights pro- --
gram as unconstitutional and un-
lawful,” the statement said.
State democratic executive
committee Chairman Robert W.
Calvert of Hillsboro said this
week he expected soon to file a
certificate with Brown declaring
Truman and Barkley to be the
party nominees.
The state executive committee
Monday will be asked to order a
referendum Aug. 28 on the ques-
tion of whether the Texan elect-
ors shall vote for Truman and
Barkley or for the Southern Dem-
ocratic slate, Thurmond and
Wright. Committee leaders and
Gov. Beauford H. Jester oppose
the proposal.
“Texas Democrats have the
right to decide by referendum
in the August primary whether
the majority wants Truman or
Thurmond, and after the Sep-
tember convention the name of
the winner should be certified
to the secretary of state,”'
Price’s statement said.
“Moreover, Governor Jester as
chief law enforcement officer of
Texas signed a solemn written
instrument which bound him to
oppose Truman even if the Phila-
delphia convention should nomi-
nate him for president. Shall his-
tory record that Governor Jes-
ter’s word was written in water
and inscribed on the wind?”
“In the face of all this how can
the secretary of state say that
Truman is the democratic nomi-
nee of Texas? Will Secretary of
State Brown obey the law and
the will of the people of Texas or
will he obey Messrs. Calvert,
Kittrell and Steadham, the poli-
tical henchman or Truman? It
seems that the Truman crowd are
trying to drive the real Demo-
crats of Texas into the Republican
party that also favors the nefar-
ious civil rights program of Tru-
man.”
Will Remain Cut in Two
For Traffic If Warning
Not Heeded by Board
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Aug.
7 (/P)—The United States bluntly
warned today that the Danube
river will remain cut in two for
traffic if eastern Europe’s Com-
munist states deny Austria a seat
on the Danube Control board.
Its position was laid down by
American Ambassador Cavendish
Cannon shortly before the Dan-
ubian conference voted 7 to 1 to
make the proposed Soviet plan
for a new Danube pact the basis
for its discussion.
Under the Soviet plans, control
of the Danube would be vested
exclusively with the seven Com-
munist dominated states of east-
ern Europe.
Adoption of this working opera-
tion means that the United States,
Britain and France can offer their
terms for the pact only in the
form of amendment to the Soviet
draft.
France Against Procedure
Fiance voted against this pro-
cedure. The United States and
Britain abstained from voting.
Cannon, opening today’s ses-
sion, declared:
“Let us be realistic about
Austria. If the views of this
important ripartan state are not
taken into consideration in
drafting the convention and

blockade of Berlin as a condition
for talks.)
Victor Nekrasov, the Gazette’s
special Berlin correspondent,,
wrote the article at a time when
representatives of the Soviet Un-
ion, the United States, Britain
and France were negotiating the
east-west deadlock. He said:
“A favorable and real solution
to the ‘crisis’ created in Berlin as
a result of the impermissible one-
sided action of the western pow-
ers is closely bound up with a de-
cision on the all-German problem
as a whole, in the spirit of Pots-
dam, which found its further ex-
pression in the Warsaw declara-
tion and in the answer of the So-
viet Union to notes to America,
England and France.”
(The Warsaw declaration by
the Soviet Union and seven other
eastern European countries urged
a provisional all-German govern-
ment. The western powers have
announced plans for going ahead
with a government for western
Germany.
(The Soviet reply to British-
French-American notes of protest
on the Berlin situation said the
Soviets would not object to ne-
gotiating differences in Berlin,
but the talks must be without
preliminary conditions and must
concern the administration of all
Germany as a whole.)
Waiting for Reports
The three western envoys again
are waiting reports from their
home capitals on the latest of
their talks with Soviet Foreign
Minister V. M. Molotov. No more
meetings are expected today. In-
formed persons believe the next
get-together will be tomorrow,
Monday or perhaps even later.
One highly informed source said
last night there must be new
meetings before any final agree-
ments materialize.
The United States, British and
French envoys conferred with
Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov
yesterday for three hours. Prime
Minister Stalin was not present.
At this meeting, U. S. Ambassa-
dor Walter Bedell Smith, French
Ambassador Yves Chataigneau,
and Frank Roberts, special British
envoy, gave Molotov their reply
on Berlin and other questions.
It was learned on excellent au-
thority that the talks with Molo-
tov are proceeding smoothly.
The western envoys emerged
smiling from their conference
with the Soviet foreign minister.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7 (A)—
Democratic party strategists were
reported lining up for President
Truman today one of the busiest
political campaigns a president
ever engaged in.
The decision to make an ag-
gressive two-month campaign
swing—with heaviest fire cen-
tered on the GOP record in con-
gress—was said to have been con-
firmed at the first of what may
be a series of White House strate-
gy meetings.
The former Democratic national
chairmen who attended have been
asked bv J. Howard McGrath,
the present party chieftain, to
serve as his advisors throughout
the election drive.
These advisors were said to
have agreed that the way for Mr.
Truman to win in November is
to try to keeP the Republicans off
balance by striking first—and
hard—at their legislative record.
Mr. Truman is expected to start
arguing right away that the GOP-
dominated congress failed to give
The senate was working under
an agreement to begin voting at
2 p. m. (CST) today and Barkley
said he would demand a rollcall
upon the Truman proposals.
It involves authority to fix
maximum prices and even con-
trol wages as well as power to
allocate scarce materials.
The house, in an early start,
stamped final approval on the
GOP housin bill before noon. It
passed the senate yesterday.
The bill provides some federal
aids for low-cost homes and large
rental projects. But it does not in-
clude that subsidized public hous-
ing or slum clearance which the
president asked and which some
GOP lawmakers—like Senator
Tobey (NH)—supported vigor-
ously.
Speaker Martin (R-Mass) said
the house would accept the hous-
ing bill “as is” and probably quit
work by 3 o’clock (CST).
The senate, however, appeared
Wants More Funds
To Administer
The Housing Bill
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7 (P)—
President Truman asked congress
today for more funds to adminis-
ter the housing bill it passed to-
day.
The president also asked the
lawmakers to repeal a provision
legislating two reclamation bu-
reau officials out of office.
The White House announced
that the president had sent to
Capitol Hill the following money
yeqyegtg *
1. $400,000 for the housing
and home finance agency, plus
an authorization of $3,450,000
for it to carry out provisions of
the modified housing bill
passed by the senate and sent
to the house yesterday.
2. A supplemental appro-
priation of $10,000,000 for the
Treasury department also for
housing purposes.
3. A supplemental appropria-
tion estimated at $5,000,000 for
the Veterans administration to
provide automobiles for dis-
abled veterans.
It appeared highly unlikely
that congress would grant any of
the new requests as it raced to-
ward early adjournment.
The $10,000,000 sought for the
treasury “is to establish the hous-
ing investment insurance fund in
the Federal Housing administra-
tion to provide equity investment
aids to encourage the construction
of rental housing,” the announce-
ment said.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7 (A) —
Senate Democrats today agreed to
make a senate floor fight for
President Truman’s price control
anti-inflation plan.
But privately some Democrats
acknowledged they could do no
more than make a gesture. They
said there is every prospect the
Republicans will put through
their own plan, toss it and hous-
ing legislation to the president,
and adjourn the special session
some late today.
Senator Barkley (D-Ky) said a
caucus of Democratic senators de-
cided to push the Truman anti-
inflation plan as a substitute for
the mild GOP measure limited to
consumer credit controls and
higher federal bank reserves.
“We had a show of hands,”
Barkley said after a one-hour
closed conference of the Demo-
crats. "The group was almost
unanimous in favor of the amend-
ment.”

“A highly important man,” he
told reporters, “was pushing and
shoving this thing and was final-
ly successful in getting the Rus-
sians the stuff they wanted. This
man no longer is in the govern-
ment.”
McDowell said he is not sure
whether the second man still
works for the government.
The government job of another
controversial figure popped up
meanwhile on the other half of
the house committee’s atomic
bomb-Russian spy double feature.
Rep. Mundt (R-SD), acting
chairman of the group, told a ra-
dio audience last night that Wil-
liam W. Remington, accused of
feeding war secrets into a Soviet
espionage pipeline, had been fired
from his Commerce department
job.
A commerce department
spokesman promptly denied it.
Remington, placed on “indefi-
nite leave” by Secretary Sawyer
last June pending an investigation
of his loyalty, was charged last
week by Elizabeth T. Bentley, an
admitted former Russian spy,
with giving her wartime military
information.
Young Official Denies Charge
The young government official
said it wasn’t so, although he
acknowledged that he had done
things during the war, when he
was only 24, that he wouldn’t do
now.
McDowell’s statements about
atomic shipments to Russia were
made before he left Washington.
A m o n g the sources he men-
tioned for the uranium sent to
the Soviets were the S. W. Shat-
tuck Co. in Denver and the Ca-
nadian Radium and Uranium
Corp. He drew an affirmation
from one and a denial from the
other.
Sub-Committee In New York
NEW YORK, Aug. 7 (A) — Rep.
Richard M. Nixon (R-Calif) said
today that a three-man sub-com-
mittee of the House Un-American
activities committee questioned
Alexander Koral here last night
as part of its probe of alleged
communist spy rings operating in
this country.
Nixon made his statement as
the sub-committee reconvened its
session in the federal building.
“Is Koral the mystery witness
who is to crack open the spy
case?” Nixon was asked by re-
porters.
Nixon declined comment but
another member of the commit-
tee, Rep. F. Edward Hebert (D-
La) said: “We have no mystery
witnesses. All witnesses are im-
portant.”
Koral was identified by com-
mittee members only as a “New
Yorker.” Nixon said Koral would
testify Monday at a public hear-
ing before the full house commit-
tee in Washington.
The “mystery witness” refer-
ence appeared in a statement
made in Washington yesterday
by Rep. Karl E. Mundt (R-SD),
acting chairman of the full com-
mittee. He said then that a secret
witness had been uncovered who
would “crack the whole Soviet
spy case wide open.”
Nixon said the subcommittee
planned to question at least three
more witnesses today. He identi-
fied them as Earl Browder, ousted
national head of the Communist
party; Whittaker Chambers, sen-
ior editor of Time magazine and
avowed formed Communist, and
Victor Perlo, former member of
War Production board.
Russia Hints U. S.
Planes Could Be
Forced to Land
U. S. Air Official Says
‘Party’ll Get Rough If
The Russians Try It’
BERLIN, Aug. 7 (A) — An
American air force official said
today that “things are going to
be pretty rough around here” if
the Russians try to force down
U. S. and British planes flying
supplies to blockaded Berlin.
The official Soviet news agency
ANE hinted last night that allied
planes could be forced down for
ilying over unauthorized areas.
It charged British and American
aircraft with 62 such violations
between July 31 and Aug. 4.
The American official conceded
that “technically speaking” planes
which violated flight violations
could be forced down.
“However,” he added, “once
this starts things are going to
be pretty rough around here.
It would require some pretty
high level action to say the
least.”
The Soviet agency claimed the
provisions for forcing down
planes which departed from pre-
scribed routes over the U. S. oc-
cupation zone. They implied that
the same could be applied over
the Soviet zone routes to Berlin.
The American official said it
could not be immediately deter-
mined whether the Russians
were “junt talking” or really in-
tended forceful action.
Rule Breaches Charged
The Russians have made fre-
quent allegations of flight rule
breaches since the gigantic night
and day air lift to supply western
Berlin was instituted nearly two
months ago. Most of them have
been rejected as unfounded. The
American authorities have ex-
pressed the belief they were
chiefly intended as harassing tac-
tics against the air lift.
Western allied authorities have
said the airlife will not only con-
tinue as long as needed, but will
be doubled.
On the diplomatic front, Rus-
sian controlled newspapers car-
ried on their front pages a dis-
patch from Washington claiming
that President Truman and Sec-
r e t a r y of State Marshall had
“agreed in principle” that the
western sponsored currency
should be withdrawn from Ber-
lin and only Soviet sponsored
money circulate throughout the
city.
On the contrary the western
powers are issuing mope of their
money here.
