Another Defendant
Draws Prison Term
Freddie Allen, 18, Fort Worth
Negro, pleaded guilty in district
Court this morning to the theft
of an automobile at Grandview
Aug. 6 and was sentenced to five
years in prison.
Hill testified he and two other
Negroes stole the auto and went to
San Antonio. He said when they
were returning to Fort Worth they
were caught.
Adolphus Hill, 20, also of Fort
Worth, was sentenced to six years
in prison by a District Court jury
late yesterday afternoon.
The jury was out one hour be-
fore bringing in the guilty verdict.

He urged the assembly mem-
bers not to assume that the Soviet
response of last month is their
last word.
“If this organization puts . the
weight of its influence behind the
principles embodied in the joint
proposals, it is not impossible that
these principles will yet obtain
general acceptance,” Dulles said.
“Since the stakes are so high, no
chance, however- slight, should be
left untried.”
Middle East Plan
Turning to the Middle East,
Dulles warned that “Russia’s
rulers have long sought domina-
tion” there. He recalled that:
“In 1940, when the Soviets were
seeking a division of the world
with Hitler, they stipulated ‘that

Th " report said not only Hoffa
but Beck and Teamster Vice
Pre; dent Frank Brewster also
“extensively” used union funds for
personal purposes. The findings
amounted to a sweeping indict-
. ment of the present Teamster
leadership and a warning to the
Teamster membership that no
cleanup will be acceptable while
1 the present hierarchy remains in
power.
The committee specifically ex-
empted rank and file members of
• the nation’s largest union from its
’ indictment, asserting they “want
and are entitled to have a clean
union.”
The report said Hoffa violated
• trade union morality by misusing
union funds, borrowing money
from employers with whom the un-
ion dealt and benefitting person-
ally from settling a strike.
Its strongest language was re-
served for Hoffa’s connections
with New York mobster Johnny
Dio and other “notorious labor
racketeers.”
“The list of many of Hoffa’s
proteges and friends reads like a
rogues’ gallery,” the committee
said. “We do not accept Hoffa’s
explanation that these associations
were an attempt to rehabilitate
juvenile delinquents.”

the Soviet Union’ (Molotov com-
munication to. German Ambassa-
dor, Nov. 25, 1940.)”
The Kremlin shifted its efforts
to the Far East after the Marshall
Plan and the North Atlantic
Treaty were instituted, he said,
and switched back to the Middle
East “in 1955, after the U.N.’s
successful defense of Korea and
the making of the Southeast Asia
and other defensive pacts.”
The current Russian effort “has
made the most progress in Syria
where the Soviet-bloc arms were
exultantly received and where
political power has increasingly
been taken over by those who de-
pend on Moscow,” Dulles said.
Prelude to Aggression
Dulles said the Communists ap-
pear to be engaging in acts—or
indirect—aimed at impairing free-
dom, independence or integrity of
Near East countries, violating
recommendations of the General
Assembly.
“We believe that these Soviet
acts may, perhaps unwittingly,
lead the recipients of Soviet arms
into acts of direct aggression,” he
said.

NEW ORLEANS (UP)—Tropical
storm Esther was only a shallow
low pressure area in Mississippi
today, but four were dead in her
wake and flooding was threatened
in her path.
The storm passed Jackson,
Miss, at 9 p.m. c.s.t. Wednesday
with winds reduced to 17 miles
an hour. It was “weakening rath-
er rapidly,” the Jackson Weather
Bureau reported.
However, it was water, rather
than wind, that figures in the
four deaths and put Mississippi
Alabama, Tennessee and Louisi-
ana on the alert for possible
floods.
The New Orleans Weather Bu-
reau said Esther was expected to
move about 15 miles an hour
through the northern portions of
Mississippi and Alabama and into
central and East Tennessee today,
dumping up to six inches of rain
along the way.
Storm warnings were lowered on
the Gulf Coast, where the storm
moved in from the Gulf of Mexi-
co on a 300-mile front. Top winds
around the center were clocked at
64 miles an hour and tides were
only three to five feet above nor-
mal.
Coastal flooding was still feared,
qowever, due to heavy runoff and
scattered the chemical over a
quarter mile area.
Authorities on the scene also
said that washing the chemical
down with hoses would let the
chemical find its way into the
sewage system which flows into
the Thames River. They said it
would also contaminate the
Chatham water supply 17 miles
from here.

Epidemic
Is Feared
By UNITED PRESS
The outbreak of Asian
flu expected with the be-
ginning of school spread ov-
er the state today, with sec-
ondary schools the heaviest
hit.
Many high school athletes were
also sufiermg from the flu, or
something like it. Football games
were cancelled at some places for
this weekend.
An “epidemic - sized outbreak”
was predicted in Houston in a
matter of days or a week by Dr
Fred K. Laurentz, city health of-
ficer.
The State Health Department
reported an “unprecedented num-
ber” of requests from all over
the state for laboratory analysis
of cases of flu to determine if it
was of the Asian variety.
Requests for Vaccine
Dallas physicians were flooded
with requests for flu vaccine, and
the Red Cross office reported a
large response to courses in car-
ing for the sick at home.
The Duval county health offi-
cer, Dr. E. E. Dunlap, informed
the state health department 100
cases of flu had been diagnosed
in Duval county.
Dr. J. V. Irons of the State
Health Department said "suspi-
cious but inconclusive reports”
had been returned to Fort Worth,
Harlingen, McAllen, Longvielw,
Arlington, San Angelo and Cuero.
In Fort Worth, officials at Tex-
as Christian University cancelled

Faubus Receives
Order to Appear
At Federal Trial
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (UP) —
Gov. Orval E. Faubus received a
summons to testify today on a
motion to take away from federal
jurisdiction the decision on wheth-
er state segregation laws are
valid.
The summons from federal
court had no bearing on Faubus’
scheduled appearance in the U.S.
District Court Friday morning on
an injunction petition aimed at
ending his barring of Negroes
from Central High School.
Faubus was not expected to an-
swer the summons and it was be-
lieved by many observers he will
not be present at the injunction
hearing Friday.
The motion to be heard today
was filed by the state Sovereign-
ty Commission, of which Faubus
is ex-officio chairman. The com-
mission is supporting a suit filed
in a state court by a “disinter-
ested person” to test the validity
of four segregation laws passed by
the 1957 Arkansas Legislature.
Ten Negro ministers, however,
have filed a similar suit in fed-
eral court. The hearing today is
on the Sovereignty Commission’s
motion which asks the federal
court to throw out the Negroes’
suit and leave the decision to the
state courts.
Faubus was summoned amid
these developments on the integra-
tion scene:
NEWPORT, R.L—President Ei-

N.Y.) and other Negro leaders to

Ontario provincial police ordered
residents out of a quarter-mile

them.
He also warned, in a policy
speech to the U.N. General As-
sembly, that Russian meddling in
the Middle East may lead to new
aggression and urged a full dis-
cussion of that critical situation
in which he said the United
States may produce “concrete
proposals.”
Dulles said the United States
would continue experimenting
with nuclear weapons, with due
concern for protection against hu-
man hazards, and invited the
U.N. to send observers to one of
the next American tests.
Dulles outlined the joint pro-
posals put before the deadlocked
London disarmament talks by the
United States, Britain, France and
Canada. The proposals were re-
jected there by Russia as a
“sham.”
Russian Responsibility
“We cannot believe that that
sweeping, almost contemptuous,
Soviet rejection is final,” he said.
“Never before have so many na-
tions, of so great military power,
joined to make proposals so far-
reaching. Any government that
summarily ■ rejects them would
accept a frightful responsibility
before all the world.
“Humanity faces a tragic fu-
ture if the war threat is not
brought under control. It would
mean that men, in order to sur-
vive, must learn to live as bur-
rows within the earth’s surface
to find protection against death.
It would mean that man would

Report Progress
In Phone Strike
NEW YORK (UP)—Negotiators
reported “encouraging progress”
early today in talks aimed at end-
ing a four-day strike of telephone
equipment installers in 44 states.
Federal mediator Walter Maggi-
olo issued the progress report, the
first since the strike began Mon-
day, at the conclusion of a 16-
hour marathon negotiations meet-
ing interrupted only for meals.
Negotiations, which recessed at
2:30 a.m. e.d.t. were expected to
resume this morning between
Maggiolo, Joseph E. Dunne, chief
negotiator for the striking Com-
munications Workers of America,
and A. D. Billotte, head negotia-
tor for the Western Electric Co.
Negotiating teams for both dis-
putants were standing by.
On strike are 23,800 members of
the CWA who install telephone
equipment at telephone exchanges
in every state except Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont and Mon-
tana. They are seeking a one-
year contract providing a wage
increase, higher travel pay and
improved fringe benefits.
Thousands of non-striking tele-
phone operators have refused to
cross picket lines set up by the
installers. However, the American
Telephone and Telegraph Co., of
which Western Electric is the
manufacturing arm, said that de-
spite the strike both long-distance
and local service is normal
throughout the country.
A spokesman for A.T.&T. said
operators who had been observing
picket lines were returning to
work “in increasing numbers.”

At nearby Port Arthur, Coach
Clarence Underwood moved five
spohomores up from the “B”
squad so he would be able to go

town Friday. At least 22 players
were out with flu.
Jasper School Closed
Other schools affected included
those at Angleton, Rosharon, Con-
roe and Trinity. The Jasper school
system remained closed complete-
ly, with a third of the students
out with flu.
At Temple, 34 of 46 members
of the high school football team
missed practice with the flu.
Wharton county reported 1,000
cases of Asian flu. Webb had 433,
Jasper 240, El Paso 208, Jeffer-

In addition, there have been 40
cases of flu reported at the Dallas
county jail in the last few days.
Sheriff Bill Decker said 28 of the
ailing prisoners were in the jail’s
isolation ward.
WASHINGTON (UP)—The Pub-
lic Health Service reported today
the number of Asian flu cases in
the United States has climbed to
more than 100,000.
A major outbreak is under way
in Mississippi, where from 20,000
to 25,000 cases are reported, offi-
cials said.
Dr. Carl C. Dauer, influenza
control officer of the health serv-
ice, said the Mississippi situation
“could be the beginning” of a true
nationwide epidemic.
“The Mississippi flu epidemic is
still regional,” said Dauer. “But
it has some of the characteristics
of a break-out. Another week or
two will tell the story.”
“Break - out” is the term epi-
demiologists use to describe the
transition from a localized epidem-
ic to one which spreads through
the general population at rapid
speed.
Louisiana has had from 15,000
to 20,000 cases, possibly more,
Dauer said. But these have been
concentrated in two or three areas
and so far there has been no in-
dication that the Louisiana epi-
demic is breaking out for a wid-
er spread.
Other states which have had
“sizable” local outbreaks are New
York, Texas, Utah and California,
Dauer said.
