Dulles was asked whether it
would not be sound to work out
some withdrawal of the National-
ist forces on Quemoy and Matsu
since the United States did not be-
lieve the buildup had been par-
ticularly wise in the first place.
He replied that this would de-
pend on the circumstances. A
withdrawal as a retreat under
fire, he said, would not be desir-
able' because of the impact it
would have on other countries.
Dulles added, however, that if
there were a reasonably depend-
able cease-fire, it would be foolish
to keep these large forces there.

KEY WEST, Fla. (UPD—The
Navy searched today for a miss-
ing "submarine hunter" plane
with 10 men aboard, 'feared to
have crashed in the sea off the
Florida Keys.
Cmdr. James J. Rumford. oper
ations officer at Key West Naval
Air Station, said there had been
no word from the long overdue
plane since 3:30 p.m. e.s.t., Mon-
day.
The plane was due to return
from a routine training flight at
6:30 p.m. Rumford said it had only
enough fuel to last two and one-
half hours after that time.
Navy officers said the plane was
a P-2V. a two-engine craft sent
only the day before. It was to
have started its training in anti-
submarine warfare today.
The names and ranks of the 10
men aboard the plane were with-
held pending the outcome of the
search. Rumford said all were
veteran fliers and well-trained.

TAIPEI, Formosa (UP!) -Unit-
ed States Marines landed on Que-
moy with eight-inch howitzers and
turned them over to Nationalist ar-
tillerymen, informed sources in
Taipei said today.
The sources said the Marines
arrived with the self - propelled
eight - inchers at night about 10
days ago and set them in position
where Nationalist gunners could
reply to Red artillery that has
pounded the Quemoys since Aug.
23.
The Nationalist Defense Minis-
try, without mentioning any new
type of guns, reported today Na-
tionalist artillery destroyed 13
Communist guns and four fortifica-
tions Monday.
Deadly Accurate
The American - supplied weap-
ons, described as deadly accurate
and with a range sufficient to hit
any of the Communist gun em-
placements shelling Quemoy, were
installed during a barrage by the
radar - controlled Red artillery but
there were no American casual-
ties.
The big howitzers were delivered
by U. S. Navy landing craft and
were brought from Okinawa be-
cause the Nationalists' smaller and
less accurate 105 and 155 millime-
ter artillery was no match for the
Communist guns, the informed
sources said. w
the races in our school, public or
private.”
About a dozen students listened
as Raney read the statement in
front of Central High.
“We are now restrained from
permitting the private school cor-
poration to operate the schools,"
School Board President Wayne
Upton announced Monday night.
Did that mean the schools will
remain closed today?
"You have seen the order," Up-
ton said. "I presume it does.”
U.S. deputy marshals rushed'
about Little Rock serving copies
of the restraining order.
Similar signs were jailed on
trees at other high schools, ap-
parently by order of the group
that planned to open private
schools. A watchman at Hall High
said he almost had a gunfight
with the signmen and they were
reported to have tussled with
watchmen at Central.
Faubus slept later than usual,
and when he got up called in his
lawyers for consultation. His ex-
ecutive secretary said he may not
even get to his office today.
U.S. Marshal R. Beale Kidd
tried to serve a copy of the re-
straining order on Faubus at the
gubernatorial mansion Monday
night, but two state policemen
turned him back.
He finally telegraphed the order
to Faubus.
Copies went to members of the
private school corporation, the
school board, school officials and
even to school teachers.
If any had had anything to do
with reopening the four schools to-
day on a private basis, they would
have been in danger of a contempt
citation from the Eighth U.S. Cir-
cuit Court of Appeals.
Two circuit court judges handed

nullified openly and directly by
state legislators or state execu-
tives or judicial officers, nor nulli-
fied indirectly by them through
evasive schemes for segregation
whether attempted 'ingeniously or
ingenuously’."
The high court said the Four-
teenth Amendment of the Consti-
tution prohibits "state support of
segregated schools through any
arrangement, managemeat, funds
or property.”
Legal experts said just about the
only recourse left open to south-
ern states seeking to avert inte-
gration now is to abolish their
public school systems altogether.
tion edict will wind up in the legal
waste basket.
Schemes Won’t Work
He said the court now has made
it crystal clear to southerners
their ultimate choice is between
integrated public schools or no
schools with any kind of public
support — financial or otherwise.
The only remaining alternative,
he said, would be truly private
schools and these, he said, would
mean education only for the rich.
“We've passed that stage in this
country,” said the official, who
asked he not be quoted byname.
Strongly pro-segregation south-
erners, in the very sharpness of
their comments, gave pointed em-
phasis to the court’s warning to
governors, state legislatures,
judges and school boards that
"evasive schemes” won’t work.
Georgia Governor - nominee Er-
nest Vandiver said the 'political-
ly constituted court" had sought
"to rule on a whole host of ques-
tion* and to resolve them with
finality even before they could be
heard and decided by the lower
courts...” • -e
Will Rely On Opinion
Sen. Strom Thurmond (D-S.C.),
1948 States’ Rights presidential
nominee, declared the court “has
attempted to render a decision on
private schools which are not in
being, and on facts which have
not yet arisen.”
This was the very point made
by the high-ranking justice offi-
cial. He voiced belief that hence-
forth virtually all federal district
courts, and certainly all federal
appeal courts, would rely on Mon-
day’s Supreme Court opinion to
schools with any type of govern-
mental support whatsoever.
President Eisenhower probably
will have something to say on the
subject at his news conference
Wednesday — his first since
Aug. 26.
The main effect of Monday’s
opinion, in the eyes of government
lawyers, was to knock out all or
almost all laws passed by south-
ern states in efforts to dodge
school integration.

While Schomburg listed all
events as outstanding he said the

Texas Game and Fish Commission
and this year’s rodeo should prove

The rodeo looms as the best in

body of a man none f them had
seen before.
The body was laid out in a
neatly - pressed dark , blue suit.
"There was no shirt, no tie and
no collar on the man,” Kalabany
said.
As they began covering the cof-
fin again, Kalabany and his sons
found a nameplate from the coffin.
It bore the letters Atk.
Doubt Foul Play
Kalabany called police and was
told the records mentioned the
Hve persons Kalabany knew to be
I the" plot but made no mention
of a sixth body- Undertaker
Charles Lewis assure Kalabany
he hadn’t buried any stranger in
the plot.
Detective Lt. James Driscoll
said there was no map to show
the position of bodies buried in
the- cemetery, which is owned by
the Green Farms Congregational
Church. He said a check of all
possible records did not show any-
one with a name beginning with
the three letters “Atk."
Driscoll said he didn’t • think
there was any foul play—just a
case of a mixup.
Kalabany said he sure hoped
whoever buried the stranger in his
plot will step forward and get
things straightened out.

Constitutional Amendments to be

The constitutional amendment
H.J.R. 1) proposing annual ses-
sions of the Legislature, annual
salaries of $7,500, plus an unlimit-
ed per diem and unlimited “ex-
penses of office,” for each mem-
ber. should be carefully consid-
ered in view of the following:
1. H.J.R. No. 1 would permit
continuous sessions of the Leg-
islature, which would not be
good for either the members or
the State.
2. They proposed amendment
autfiorizes a per diem, unlimit-
ed in amount, to each member,
in addition to the annual salary.
3. H.J.R. No. 1 authorizes un-
limited expenses of office, which
might well include transporta-
tion, publications, rent, secreta-
rial help, clerk hire, stationery
and supplies, telephone and tele-
graph. postage, etc., “in amount
and manner as determined” by

would deal generously with itself
— the only restraint being a fear
of voter reaction at the next
election.)
4. The proposed amendment is
wholly unnecessary from the
standpoint of either results con-
templated or expenses involved.
5. The proposed amendment
includes a provision relating to
the occupancy of living quarters
in the Capitol building, by cer-
tain officials, now determined by
statute.
6. H. J. R. No. 1 appears to be
in conflict with other provisions
of the Constitution.
7. The amendment is poorly
written and, if adopted, will like-
ly entail extensive litigation and
require judicial interpretation.
Annual sessions will result in
greater spending. The record of
the Congress attests to this.
The proposed amendment pro-
vides for a “Second Regular
Session.” The unrealistic limita-
tion placed on the Second Session
raises serious questions concern-
ing the validity of appropriations
for many of the State’s most im-
portant functions.
Since its provisions may not be
voted upon separately, however
desirable one or more features
might be, the amendment should
be rejected.
I opposed this amendment in
the 1957 session of the Legisla-
ture, and subsequent study has
confirmed the soundness of my 4
action.

RIO GRANDE-
(Continued from Page 1)
flew food supplies in to both Red-
ford, Tex., and Ojinaga Monday.
; Rail Tracks Cut
Officials of the Mexican Minis-
try of Health said today they have
set up a flood relief program for
villages and cities in the Rio
Concho* Valley.
Ojinaga’s railroad connections
with the interior of Mexico were
cut by track washouts which Mex-
ican National Railway officials
said would take more than six
months to repair.
A passenger train was reported
stalled in high water since Satur-
day between Chihuahua City and
Ojinaga.
Presidio farmers estimated esti-
mated it would take three years
to restore their farmlands after
the Rio Grande flood level
dropped. The Presidio school re-
sumed classes today after being
closed since the first flood crest
hit last Thursday.
Mexican officials said they have
not yet identified the three drown-
ing victims swept away by tor-
rents in the Rio Concho* Valley.
Cattle on both side* of the river
were taken to higher ground.
The Rio Grande was racing
downstream today reaching a 14-
foot level at Eagle Pass where a
20-foot crest was predicted later
today.
Rowboats Used
Makeshift rowboats were being
used to carry braceros from Pre
sidio to Ojinaga today. Price of
passage was $3 a head. Some food
profiteering was reported at Oji-
naga where high prices were be-
ing charged for scarce food sta-
ples.
An estimated 16,000 men are
engaged in farming in both the
Presidio and Rio Conchos Valleys
and crop losses have been put as
high as 85,000,000. Most of Pre-
sidio Valley’s 10,000 acres of
farmlands remained under six to
20 feet of water today.

AUSTIN (UPI)—A Texas death-
row convict’s unique argument
that he cannot be ‘‘executed
because he is legally dead “has
no merit,” according to the state
attorney general’s office.
Junior Lee Williams, a Negro
under sentence of death in a rape
case, asked th New Orleans
Court of Appeal to reverse a
Houston federal district court
order denying him a writ of
habeas corpus. Williams contends
he is legally dead because the
original date of his scheduled
electrocution passed while his
case was under appeal to the U.S.
Supreme Court.
He argues that his re-sentencing
after the appeal was denied was
a violation of his rights under the
14th Amendment.
"The appellant is not actually
dead, and he can certainly not be
legally dead while he still lives.”
said the state's brief, which the
attorney general's office said
Monday had been filed in New
Orleans.

the stalemate that marked talks
in Geneva between U.S. and Com-
munist representatives.
The U.S. Embassy announced
today's Wang-Beam meeting was
being postponed for four hours
from 18 a.m. to 2 p.m. It referred
to the “78th meeting” of the am-
bassadors, tying the Warsaw talks
with the 73 sessions between Wang
and U.S. Ambassador U. Alexis
Johnson in Geneva.
The four-hour delay presumably
was to let one ambassador or the
other seek further instructions
from his home government.
