Probe Of Cotton
Classing Office In
Texas Requested
CORSICANA I—A request for
an investigation by Congress of
the Dallas cotton classing office
is under consideration in Wash-
ingon, Rep. Olin Teague said yes-
terday.
Teague said the House Agricul-
ture Committee chairman, Rep.
Harold Codey (D-NC) would take
the matter up with Rep. Gathings
(D-Ark), chairman of the cotton
subcommitee, ‘with the sugges-
tion that a full investigation be
held."
The request for the inquiry was
made to Teague by Clyde E. John-
son. farm editor of the Corsicana
Daily Sun.
Johnson said farmers in the
Corsicana area had objected to
what they called "improper"
classifications by the Department
of Agriculture office in Dallas.
"I will, continue to press for fa
vorable decision by the Depart
ment of Agriculture or a full in-
vestigation by the House Commit
tee on Agriculture," Teague told
Johnson.
Johnson .informed Teague he
had evidence that a farmer near
Corsicana had reported inconsist
encies in the Dallas office.
“He received a classified sam
plc, then divided it in two ant
returned the two samples oi
which the office placed differen

stated.
"There are other minor thing;-

ications, that have been brough

CHICAGO (m—Two young sisters

Jeanette Griffiths, 7. a second
grader, and her sister, Alexandria
5., a kindergarten pupil, were
struck as they walked in a group

adjoining the school.
A third girl .was knocked down
and scalded by water spilling
from the car's radiator. She was
not seriously injured. The other
pupils escaped injury.
Richard Dombeck, 16, driver of
the car, had received a tem

and was operating the family
automobile for the first time alone
Police said the car apparently
