Nabbed With Hands
PORTLAND, Ore. W — Tom
Baker, 20, is one of the few per-
sons who have caught a hand-saw
fish, and perhaps the only one to
do it with his bare hands.
The deep water fish was a slen-
der, 4%-foot-long member of the
vicious lancet family. It had a
mouth eight inches wide, full of
knifelike teeth.
from Columbus, Ohio, now sta-
tioned at Portland, came across
the fish in four feet of surf at
Cannon Beach. He grabbed the
scaleless, muscular fish near the
tail and somehow managed to
dodge the teeth while tugging it
shoreward.
A State Game Commission ex-
pert identified it yesterday, ex-
plaining it is rarely found near a
Baker, an airman third class shore.

More Rain Due for Texas;
Wheat Farmers Want Sun
By THE ASSOCIATED PRE88
Rainy weather prevailed for
most of Texas Tuesday from Mid-
land eastward.
Light rains, thundershowers,
drizzle and fog added to the state’s
generally deficient moisture. West
of Midland, however, skies were
blue and sunny.
Temperatures near daybreak
ranged from 47 at Dalhart and
Amarillo to a humid 74 at Galves-
ton, Texas' island resort city.
College Station, Longview,
Brownsville and Childress reported
fog. Childress reported drizzle, too.
Light rain fell at Beaumont. Alice
had a thundershower. There was
drizzle at Austin and Amarillo had
light rain.
The moist weather followed a
night in which rains fell from the
Panhandle to the Rio Grande Val-
ley-acrons some of Texas’ most
heavily ravsged drought areas.
Except for Abilene's 1.70 inches,
Midland's 1.46 and Laredo’s 1.26
none of the rains were heavy but
all were of the slow, soaking var-
iety. An exception was at Uvalde
where 6 inches was reported.
Wheat farmers in the Panhandle
were complaining about too much
rain and too many cloudy days.
They said they needed sunshine
now to ripen their crop. Near
Electra, in the Wichita Falls area,
bottom land wheat fields were
flooded.
Coleman County reservoirs, an
official of the Central Colorado
River Authority reported, were at
record levels. The Frio River in
Uvalde County was up 11 feet.
Forecasts for Tuesday and
Wednesday called for scattered
showers and thundershowers for
most of Texas from the Pecos
Valley eastward.
Temperatures which reached a
high of 95 in Presidio Monday
were expected to remain about the
same.

Pair Quit Session
Linking Solon, Reds
WASHINGTON, May 2S mn—lep.
Wayne L. Hays of Ohio led a Dem-
ocratic walkout from a public ses-
sion of a special House Inquiry
committee today after accusing a
witness of linking Sen. Paul Doug-
las (D-IID with a Socialist move-
ment
Hays contended the witness, Aar-
on M. Sargeant, a San Francisco
lawyer, used a ''scattergun tech-
nique" in citing the names of
Douglas and other persons in a
derogatory fashion.
Rep. Gracie Pfost (D-Idaho)
joined Hays in the walkout, which
came after Hays demanded that
further charges be aired behind
closed doors. Chairman Reece (R-
Tenn) cast two proxy votes to de-
feat Hays’ motion for a closed ses-
sion.
As he stalked from the hearing
room, Hays threatened to punch
a spectator who was heard to mut-
ter something thet sounded like.
“Hi, Malenkov.” Turning on the
Heckler, Hays asked him if he had
made the remark.
“If you did, be man enough to
say so and I'll punch you in the
nose,” the irate Ohio lawmaker
said.
When the spectator remained si-
lent, Hays walked quickly from the
room.

Church Leader Says
Christ Is Coming
SAN FRANCISCO un—Retiring
President William H. Branson told
a convention of Seventh Day Ad-
ventists last night that “the time
of Christ’s second coming is at
hand."
Elder Branson told 8,500 Adven-
tists from 109 countries la the key-
note speech at the church’s 47th
general conference:
“The world has almost reached
the end of its history. All things
are now ready for the second com-
ing of Christ and we must now live
in a state of constant expectancy.
Virtually all the prophecies con-
earning his return are fulfilled.”
Branson, (7, surprised the dele-
gates by announcing his intention
to retire as council president. He
is suffaring from palsy.
He reported a church member-
ship gain of 29 per cent in four
peers.
The largest gain was among in-
habitants of the Pacific Islands
near the United States nuclear
weapon testing ground. Their
membership jumped 221 per cent.
