on a routine test flight has ended
the spectacular career of Capt.

The 32-year-old pilot, credited
with downing 16 MIGs in Korea,
was killed yesterday when his
F86H Sabre Jet crashed on the
Mojave Desert, 12 miles north-
east of Rogers Lake.
His body was found beside his

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil,
Aug. 26 (A)- Police cracked down
on the outlawed Communist
party today fter 48 hours of
riots and demonstration touched
off by the suicide of Pres. Getulio
Vargas.
Amid increasing evidence the
Reds played a strong, hand in
sparking the riots, aimed in part
against the United States, more
than 100 Cpmmunists were un-
der arrest. One was accused spe-
cifically of burning a police car.
Copies of Imprensa Popular,
the Communist newspaper which
publishes openly despite the ban
on the party, were seized by the
police in Rio de Janeiro. The
newspaper headlined its account
of yesterday’s demonstrations:
“ ‘Down With Americans,’ Ri o
residents shout indignantly in
streets.”
While customs officials sorted
out documents, Danaher sat
down to a meal in the airport
staff canteen.
The six-foot Texan took off
from the U. S. Naval Air Base
at Argentia, Nfld., Friday, tell-
ing authorities he intended to
make an hour’s flight in order
not to violate Canadian regula-
tions against flying the Atlantic

Weeks’ move came a day after
Foreign Aid Chief Harold E.

military value.

his life with a bullet Tuesday, bis

Navy to Build Up
Atlantic Fleet
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 (P)—
The navy has started to restore
the pro-Korean war strength of
its Atlantic fleet while keeping
pressure on the Communists in
the Pacific, where one of its big
jobs is shielding Formosa from
Red invasion.
Adm. Robert B. Carney, chief
of naval operations, disclosed
this yesterday in a letter to Vice
Adm. A. S. Merrill (Ret.), now
an official of the Navy League.
Carney also mentioned in that
letter, made public at the Penta

changes aimed in part at boost-

“Why? I do not know why. I
ask the present governor of Tex
as to tell us why. He will not say
why because he dare not.”
Shivers told the Tempfe crowd
that the “vilest, filthiest, dirtiest
type of literature was sent
through the mails in San Marcos
attacking the good womanhood
of this state.”
“And my opponent’s campaign
workers said that was just a
practical joke,” the governor
said.
Shivers said there are 100 daily
newspapers in Texas and “only-
three of them are not supporting
Allan Shivers and one if them
is here in your town (Temple).”
Shivers said Yarborough had
conducted a campaign of “vile
slander and mud slinging.”
Yarborough at Tyler said "slan-
der teams” were circulating fake
photographs In the so-called
“Port Arthur story” all over the
state. It was an obvious refer-
ence to Shivers’ story on the
Yarborough campaign sticker on
the picket’s sign.
"If everyone in Texas knew
the facts,” Yarborough said, "I’d
get 99 per cent-of the vote.” /
Yarborough during the day
spoke to an estimated 1,000 per
sons at Wichita Falls, some 1,500
at Ty ler and about 350 at Bryan.
Shivers had a crowd of about
800 at Temple, from 500 to 600
at Bolton, and an estimated 2,100
in four neighborhood crowds at
Waco, where Yarborough ran
unexpectedly strong in the first
primary.
All the crowd estimates were
by reporters and police.

farming now used in the United
States will ever become an Im
portant factor in Indonesia be-
cause of the small size of the
farms there.
Most of the farms consist of
small family self-subsisting units,
which would never justify the
investment required for modern
machinery- such as tractors. How-
ever. the government does ope-
rate farm machinery’ pools which
serve a large number of small
farmers in some areas.
The rainfall is heavy in most
of the islands, making flood con-
trol and prevention the primary’
conservation problem. Irrigation
is highly developed throughout
the islands and together with a
warm year-around growing sea-
son enables many farmers to har-
vest three crops annually.
As an interesting sidelight to
rice farming, Ponto revealed that
many rice growers raise a crop
of fish along with the grain. As
the rice fields are kept flooded
for four months during the grow-
ing season, the paddies are
stocked with small fish, which
grow to eating size by harvest
time, when the fields are drained
into irrigation ditches.

Says Banning of
Comics an Error
HOUSTON, -Aug. 26 (P-A
news dealer says the Houston
city council didn’t know what it
was doing yesterday when it ap-
proved a new ordinance banning
sale of comic books.
The ordinance prohibits sale of
publications which feature “ac-
counts of a long list of crimes
ranging from murder to mali-
cious mischief.”
A maximum penalty of a fine
of $200 could be assessed for
each such comic book displayed
and for each day it is dispayed.
"I don’t thjnk they (the coun-
cil ) knew what they were doing,”
Phil Coggins, manager of a mag-
azine distributing company, said.
“They have 'outlawed every
Western hero that millions of
kids look up to and worship.
They have banned "Roy Rogers
and Gene Autry.”
The president of a 33-store gro-
cery chain—Leroy Melcher—said
he would discontinue the sale of
all magazines.
“There is no profit in the sale
of Country Gentleman and Bet-
ter Homes & Gardens,” Melcher
said. “The way I see it, that’s
about all you could sell.”

Says ‘Gang’ Defeated
At Wichita Falls Yarborough
said, “The political gang in pow-
er in Texas is beat and is resort-
ing to slander and character as-
sassination in desperation.”
Yarborough spoke at Tyler
Wednesday night and said "Shiv-
ers had failed to redeem the
City of Port Arthur frpm fear
and terror.” f
The Austin attorney sald if
elected governor he would go to
Port Arthur, strike-ridden for ten
months, and stay as long as it
takes to settle the strike.
"Port Arthur is not the only
example of my opponent’s failure
to enforce the laws he swore to
uphold,” Yarborough said, and
continued:
“I ask Allan Shivers to say
publicly how many Communists
have been convicted under the
laws of our state. He will not
answer because he knows there
has been none.
Pledges Enforcement
"When I am governor, the
Communist control laws will be
enforced."
Still hammering at the Com-
munist theme, Yarborough said:

trip he made in company with
two other Republican governors,

Actually, rain is water with a
few other things thrown in to
make it soak through raincoats
and umbrellas. Besides the reg-
ular two parts hydrogen and one
part oxygen, there’s some nitro-
gen and dust. Lately, rains in

Rains fall from clouds, usual-
ly dark ones, settling perpendic-
ulr to the earth. Rain from
any other direction such as side-
ways is strictly weather bureau
propaganda and should tie ig-
nored from some secluded spot
like a storm cellar.
Rain is in the form of droplets
about the size of a crocodile tear.
There are many uses for rain.

Rain also makes good drinking
water, either straight or run the
sieve out at the city water
works.
Fishermen also have found
rain handy to put fish in and
take fish out of after it makes
puddles.
Rain has been known to ruin
picnics, political rallies, and base-
ball games. It has never hurt
letter carriers, tree sitters or
bird watchers.
Somebody wrote a book about
rains. It was hard to see where
rain figured in, since a loose
woman hogged about every page.
About the only thing rain did
was keep her inside the house.
In Texas, the best definition of
rain is it’s what is happening
when it isn’t droughting.

what it is falling from the sky,
