DAMAGE SUIT
LOS ANGELES, Mar. 31 (P)
Sam Schulman, a candidate for
the Los Angeles City council,
has filed a $100,000 damage suit
against the newspaper which
was supposed to say in an ad
for Schulman:
"You need a friend in the
city council.”
Schulman yesterday accused
the weekly Wilshire Press and
its operator Gerald T. Deal of
negligence because the ad—as
printed—-read:
“You need a fiend in the city
council."
Previously he had been indicted
in Travis county on a charge of
conspiracy to commit theft of
line with the number of men who
voluntarily enlist or re-enlist for
additional tours of duty.
One reason the army cut the
April quota to 8.000 was that it
had a rush of volunteers in Jan-
uary.
Many youngsters enlisted then
to get into service before expira-
tion of GI educational and other
benefits at the end of January.
In February* the army took in
26,414 men, of whom more than
15,000 were re-enlistments or
volunteers.
The January volutary enlist-
ments were the greatest since
world war II. There were 25,060
first-time volunteers and 10,819
re-enlistments.
NEW YORK, Mar. 31 (A— Dr.

He quoted Texas Penal Code
which says if property is re-

“the punishment shall be a fine

Procter said the complaints
against Giles and the two Brady

in the state’s face and say: “O.K.,

Procter said conviction of
felony theft carries a penalty of
2 to 10 years imprisonment if
the penalty is not barred by

AUSTIN, Mar. 31 (A) — Sen.
Wayne Wagonseller of Bowie,
aided by two colleagues and leni-
ent enforcement of senate rules,
dropped through the night and
into the day today in a filibuster
deadlocking a bill to reduce bus
registration fees.
At 8 a.m. the three-man delay-
ing maneuver had gone 18 hours.
It had started its continuous run
at 2 p.m. yesterday.
The 33-year-old North Texas
lawmaker, in a soft-collared shirt
and crepe-soled shoes, showed lit-
tle outward sign of fatigue as
the dawn turned to daylight. His
voice was as clear as when he
started, though subdued.
Asked by reporters if he were
getting very tired, he replied
"No, I’m going pretty good.”
The trio’s sights are set, they
said, on blocking action until
midnight tonight, deadline for
paying 1955 bus registration
fees.
They claim that will save the
money-shy Texas treasury nearly
half a million dollars in revenue
by stalling off the proposed re-
duction until 1956.
Long questions throughout the
night by Sens. William H. Moore
of Bryan and Kilmer Corbin of
The newspaper, in a copyright-
ed story, said it received its in-
formation from an “unimpeach-
able source.”
Said Francis:
“No information has been re-
leased from the polio evaluation
center.
“The official report has not
been written, and if there is any
question I refer all persons to
the same unimpeachable source
from which the allegedly original
information came.”
From New Orleans, Washing-
ton, D. C., Oklahoma and Indiana
came word that polio had devel-
oped in several youngsters get-
ting the vaccine in last summer’s
big test. This would not neces-
sarily mean the vaccine is not
effective. Doctors administering
the shots in some areas, but not
all, did not know whether the
children were getting vaccine or
dummy injections.
Dr. Hart E. Van Riper, medical
director of the National Founda-
tion for Infantile Paralysis, com-
mented :
“Only Dr. Francis knows
whether or not the Salk vaccine
is effective and, if effective, to
what extent. Neither the national
foundation nor anyone else has
received any. information from
Dr. Francis.”
Nearly two million children
took part in the polio trials, with
210,000 getting dummy shots and
about 1,180,000 getting neither
the real vaccine nor the dummy
shots.
The newspaper said not one of
the 440,000 children given the
Salk vaccine had developed polio,
whereas 84 children in such a
number might have done so.
Couple on Friday
Joint funeral services for Mr.
and Mrs. A. L. Price of route 1,
Whitesboro. have been announced
for 3 p.m. Friday at Westview
Methodist church, east of Gaines-
ville. The Rev. C. J. Graves of
Sherman will officiate and burial
will be in Akers cemetery under
direction of Richards-Beck Fu-
neral home of Whitesboro.
The couple had resided in east-
ern Cooke county since 1911,
when they came here from Bell
county where they were married
Nov. 24, 1891.
Mrs. Price, who was 80 years
old, died at 4:15 p.m. Wednesday
at her home after suffering a
heart attack. Her husband, who
was 86, died this morning in a
Gainesville hospital. They were
members of the Methodist church.
Survivors are two daughters,

dire circumstances” in the motor
bus industry.
He said bus companies of Tex-
as in the past two years have
lost 20 million dollars in revenue.
Rogers also claimed present
rates discriminate against buses
as compared with other vehicles
and a reduction would erase
some of the discrimination.
He estimated the tax reduction
would total $390,000 annually.
Wagonseller took the floor on
an amendment that would grant
some reduction in taxes for light-
er buses but hold the line on
heavier buses.

A VERY ATTRACTIVE young
H woman called at this editor’s
. desk this morning and introduced
herself as a public relations
worker for the regional Post Of-
fice department office in Dallas.
After recovering from the first
shock of the Post Office depart-
ment having a publicity repre-
sentative who covers the terri-
'tory, we had an interesting con-
versation.
It is the first time in some 33
years of newspapering that we
nave met a publicity representa-
tive of the Post Office depart-
ment. The job was created, we
are informed, when the Post Of-
fice department was decentralized
and local affairs turned over to
regional offices, one of which is
in Dallas. -
' The young woman explained
that most of the information she
sends out is on a regional basis—
not local—and that her material
will come through the local post-
master’s office.
But she promised to look into
the prospects of a new post office
for Gainesville, and to send us
any information that may be-
come available to her office.
We advised the miss that prin-
cipal interest here at the moment
concerns the rumor that Gaines-
ville may get a district court
room in the new federal building
if and when it is built. . .

Local Auto Mishap
Results in Damage
Suit for $10,600
Mr. and Mrs. Martin Wade of
Gainesville were named defend-
ants in a $10,600 damage suit
filed here Wednesday afternoon
in 16th District court.
Plaintiffs in the action are Mr.
and Mrs. W. C. Stiles, also of
Gainesville.
THe suit is the result of a traf-
fic accident on Nov. 16, 1953 at
the intersection of Elm and Red
River streets. The cars involved
in the mishap were driven by
Mrs. Marie Wade and Mrs. Marie
Stiles.
Mrs. Stiles alleges that she re-
ceived injuries of a permanent
nature to her back, neck, spine,
hips and shoulders as a result of
the collision.
The petition charges Mrs.
Wade with several counts of neg-
igence, causing the accident.
WE UNDERSTAND that the
Post Office department really
would like to dispose of the pres-
ent post office site and build a
new federal structure in another
location.
Reason for this proposal is
that the federal building under
consideration for Gainesville
would be too large to fit into the
present site, despite the fact that
it would probably take care of
thrice the floor space of the
present post office building.
Federal agencies now officing
in the courthouse would be
housed in the new building, but
even so, it seems unlikely that
the building would have to be so
much bigger unless a federal
court room and attendant offices
were in the works.
A General Services representa-
tive was here recently checking
into the location, and he was ad-
vised that the Post Office de-
partment would have difficulty
finding another downtown site of
such size as the present lot.
We imagine it will be some
months before anything definite
is made public. The building
project has already been hanging
fire for years.

He shrugged and asked report-
ers: “Why don’t they get him a

I coulda gone six months." ;
Phillips had been forced! by
strict enforcement of senate
rules to stay on his feet and talk
almost .continuously. He had
stormed and pounded his desk
and at one point had even lost
his voice from talking so loudly.
To beat the new national rec-
ord Phillips set for filibusters
last week. Wagonseller needed to
go to 1:36 p.m. today. He indi-
cated last night to reporters that
he might give it a try.
The bill under attack, already
passed by the house, would re-
duce the entire present scale for
bus registration fees, based on
gross weight. The proposed scale
ranges from 6 to 7% cents per
100 pounds to $2, compared to
the present scale running from
$1.25 to $6.00.
29.79 and humidity was 72 per
cent.
Dalhart, in the upper Panhan-
dle, reported a zero ceiling with
one-sixteenth mile visibility and
snow-showers.
Borger reported ceiling and vis-
ibility zero with winds of 20 miles
an-hour out of the northwest. No
planes were landing at the air-
port ; it was getting “awfully dark
with sand in your teeth.”
The dust front hit Amarillo at
mid-morning and quickly cut visi-
bility from seven miles down to
one-eighth of a mile. The weather
bureau there said the duster will
be as strong and as thick as the
severe one of Feb. 19, 1954 but
probably won’t be as prolonged.
The dust extended to 20,000
feet over Amarillo and was re-
ported as high as 21,000,feet in
other parts of the Panhandle, A
layer of clouds above the dust
gave the skies a rosy, twilight
glow in in that area and motor-
ists drove with their parking
lights on.
Winds blew at 15 miles an hour
at midmorning but were expected
to get up to 30 and 40 miles at
