Newsman Refuses
To File Charges in
Calcasieu Parish
ORANGE, Tex., Sept. 4 (TP) —
An Orange Leader reporter who
says he was punched in the nose
by a Louisiana night club
bouncer has refused to file
charges because “I do not have
enough faith in Calcasieu parish
justice.”
Joe Parsley, author of a front-
page column which has consist-
ently attacked gambling in the
parish (county) just across the
Louisiana border, said the attack
occurred early yesterday. . .
Several hours later two Louisi-
ana deputy sheriffs and an
Orange (Texas) county officer
called on him and asked that he
file a complaint.
“I told them that on the basis
of my own experience as a re-
porter in a county adjoining their
own and in view of what hap-
pened last week to five Lake
Charles newspapermen, I do not
have enough faith in Calcasieu
parish justice to bother with fil-
ing charges,” Parsley said.
The parish (county) grand jury
indicted four members of the
Lake Charles (La.) American
Press staff on charges of defam-
ing parish officers and two ad-
mitted gamblers. The American
Press also has been campaigning
against gambling. One of the
gamblers, Claude Williams, owns
the barge-mounted club show
boat, scene of the alleged attack
on Parsley.
Williams told the Leader the
man who slugged Parsley as he
walked down the show boat ramp
was a former bouncer discharged
some time ago. He named the
man, who then denied to the
Leader that he had struck the
newspaperman.
Two Minor Traffic
Accidents Reported
Only two minor automobile ac-
cidents marred the holiday week-
en traffic picture in Gainesville.
No one was injured in either of
the collisions.
Day Thompson, 36, of Vega,
and Calvin Suman, 17, 1026

cles which collided at 3:30 p. m.
Saturday at the intersection of
Scott and Clements streets. Po-
lice report that Thompson was
going west on Scott street driv-
ing a 1950 Ford when he collided
with the vehicle driven by Suman
which was going north on Clem-
ents street. Damage was slight to
both vehicles.

ment totaled 60.
The Booker T. Washington
colored school had an enrollment
of 112 at noon today.

The storm, never fully formed,
dropped in force from 100 miles
an hour to a wind velocity of 60
miles an hour in heavy squalls.
Jamaica was in the midst of
urgent preparations for the blow
when word came of a change in
course and velocity. Residents'
of waterfront areas were being
evacuated, and the airport dam-
aged in the Aug. 17-18 storm was
closed to traffic.
The death toll in the August
storm totaled 150 in Jamaica,
mostly in the vicinity of the cap-
ital, Kingston. Jamaica is 100
miles south of Cuba.
Grady Norton, chief storm fore-
caster in the Miami weather bu-
reau, warned that the storm still
had plenty of kick and might re-
generate. It was passing 240
miles south of Kingston at mid-
day, and even at that distance
heavy squalls were forecast for
the British colonial capital.
A navy hurricane hunter plane
from Miami found the storm los-
ing force when it probed it to-
day. The central eye became
elongated and more than 70 miles
long, and the heavy winds blew
in the northern semi-circle only.
Ens. J. E. Shipman of Memphis,
Tenn., was pilot and Lt. James
Kerr of San Antonio, the aerolo-
gist on the flight.
New Record Set
By Traffic Toll
Of 456 in Nation
By The Associated Press
Accidents killed at least 650
persons during the nation’s
Labor Day weekend. It was a
grim new record for the holiday.
A Labor Day record was set in
highway traffic — 456 killed.
Drownings claimed 97 dead, in-
cluding 37 lost in the capsizing of
a single fishing boat off Mantauk,
N. Y. The rest of the grand total
were victims of a variety of mis-
haps, including plane crashes,
fires and falls. The miscellaneous
accident toll was 97.
The highway deaths numbered
well over twice the 225 estimated
by the National Safety council
as expectable on a three-day
non-holiday weekend. The coun-
cil had predicted fatalities for
the 78-hour holiday period, but
revised its estimate to 500 on the
basis of early weekend death re-
ports.
The former record for Labor
Day traffic deaths was 410 in
1949. The overall accident toll
record for Labor Day shattered
this year was 559 set a year ago.
The council said 40,000,000
automobiles took to the nation’s
roads during summer’s final
holidav. This ii said is an all-
time high which was equaled
during the July 4 holidav this
year when the death toll was
much lower.

Whistler, the artist who is fa-
mous for the painting of his
nother, once sent for a great
ondon physician. The doctor
hurried to Whistler’s h o m e,
thinking some member of the
family was sick. When he ar-
rived, he found that Whistler had
sent for him to treat his dog.
Soon after, the physician sent
"or Whistler. The artist went,
thinking he was going to be com-
missioned to paint a portrait. The
octor said, “I want you to paint
my barn.”
Only twice in the 22-year his-
tory of the fair has opening day
produced greater crowds. These
were in 1946 and again in 1949.
This year’s first day attendance
was more than 2,000 ahead of
last year, when rain marred the
occasion.
The Bill H. Hames Shows mid-
way was crowded throughout
the evening, and a large crowd
was in attendance at the double-
header baseball program. This
year, for the first time, baseball
fans paid admission to the fair
as they bought tickets to the
games.
The only other special event of
the day was the public speaking
for candidates in the special con-
gressional race, which drew only
a small crowd to the stage in
Fair park.
The exhibits drew 1 air g e
crowds throughout the eveing,
and hundreds also visited them
during the afternoon, in spite of
the heat. A sprinkle of rain*
failed to help the heat situation.
Judging started Monday at 8
a.m. in the poultry division, and
at 10 a.m. in the women’s divi-
sion. Other judging started Tues-
day morning and was to be com-
pleted during the day. Only the
horses remain to be judged Wed-
nesday.
Tonight at 7 o’clock, Supt. Por-
tis Sims of Fair park has ar-
ranged for free circus acts in the
area adjoining the Fair park per-
manent rides.
The rides enjoyed good busi-
ness throughout Monday evening
as did the Bill Hames carnival
attractions on the midway. The
Hames shows arrived here Sun-
day from Paris where they
showed at the Lamar District
fair last week.
The exhibits and the Hames
shows will vie for interest this
evening and Wednesday evening,
with the rodeo scheduled to get
underway Thursday night.
Second, day attendance is not
expected to equal last year’s-all-
time second day high, of 3,792,
but Tuesday is expected to wind
up with a fairly large represen-
tation at the fair.

Child Saved from Well
Jabbers Happily Today
NEWBERG, Ore., Sept. 4 (AP)—
Tiny Marie Anne Payne, brought
safely up from a narrow well
shaft yesterday, jabbered happily
over her hospital breakfast today.
One or twice during the night,
in the blackness of her sleep, she
cried out as though in fright, hos-
pital attendants reported.
Her mother though, sleeping
beside her, calmed the two-year-
old and she awakened this morn-
ing in good spirits.
The four hours spent yesterday
imprisoned in the dark well shaft
did her no apparent harm, Dr.
C. A. Bump reported.
Workmen, with frenzied speed,
sank a hole beside the shaft into
which she dropped while at play
in the yard of her home. They
reached her at 7:13 p. m. (CST).
She had fallen in at 3 o’clock.

THE CANDIDATES for con-
M gress had one of the largest
potential crowds of the campaign
in Gainesville Monday night, but
they failed to draw but a small
portion of the thousands on the
Cooke County Fair grounds.
Which brings up the question
of whether or not these candi-
dates are going to draw more
than a small portion of the 13th
district’s voters to the polls next
Saturday?
Most estimates anticipate not
more than half of the district’s
43,000 qualified voters will go to
the polls
Five of the eight candidates
showed up for the fair rally last
night. They were WAYNE WA-
GONSELLER, DOUG CROUCH.
JOE JACKSON, MRS. EDITH
WILMANS and WALTER JEN-
KINS.
JUDGE FRANK IKARD and
W. D. McFARLANE elected to
attend an Iowa Park rally in-
stead of coming to Gainesville,
although Ikard had a representa-
tive on the speaking stand here.
Despite the small crowd they
attracted to the speaking stand,
the candidates spent a busy eve-
ning handing out literature for
there was a great number of per-
sons on the fair grounds. More,
in fact, than the number of qual-
ified voters in the county this
year.
And some of the candidates
gave out souvenirs in addition to
campaign literature. It was the
last appearance of most of them
in Gainesville before the ballots
are counted Saturday night.

Adamic’s body was found lying
on a couch with his head on a
pillow in an upstairs bedroom.
Police said the manner of his
death was not immediately de-
termined.
Maj. Russell Snook, executive
officer of the state police, said
“first reports indicate it could
be most anything—accidental,
foul play or suicide.”
Fire Chief Walter Ellis, whose
department covers fires across
the Delaware river in New Jer-
sey, said a barn and the house
at Adamic’s farm had been set
on fire with kerosene-soaked
rags. Milford is 10 miles west of
here.
Ellis said the body was lyins
in an upstairs bedroom that was
not touched by the fire. Neigh
bors who knew the author wel
definitely identified the body
Ellis added.
Ellis said several rooms were
burned out, and that kerosene
had been splashed everywhere.
The fire was reported about 3:15
a. m.
The barn, used as a garage, was
about 100 yards from the house.
ALTHOUGH THE MERCURY
mounted to 107 degrees Monday,
it was not the hottest day the
fair has ever experienced local-
ly.
It was in 1947, when a free fair
was given because a fence had
not been built around the new
fair grounds, that the all-time
temperature high was set for the
fair. On Friday, Sept. 5 of fair
week, the mercury hit 110 de-
grees that season.
It is certainly not too late for
another record temperature this
year, but it is to be hoped we
will have no such thing this
week.

Forty-five persons—more than
half the 74 violent deaths in
Texas over the long Labor Day
holiday—died in traffic accidents.
The traffic toll was 10 above
the number predicted by the De-
partment of Public Safety.
One accident killed eight mem-
bers of a Negro family. Seven
died instantly Sunday when their
automobile hit a truck near Fort
Worth. The eighth victim, Tom-
my Price, 25, died Monday.
Stabbings, shootings, drown-
ings, plane crashes, heat and falls
accounted for the other deaths in
Texas during the weekend.
The tabulation began Friday
night. It ended at midnight last
night.
Latest deaths reported in-
cluded:
Preston Vanover, 12, Amarillo,
drowned Sunday in the Colorado
river near San Saba and Johnny
Brock, 17, Wichita Falls, drowned
Monday in Lake Kickapoo near
Wichita Falls.
A. G. Sanguinet, 72, was a heat
