In spite of her statement that,
she did not participate in the

After being hailed by the sheriff,
Creel was reported to have speed-

Brunt went around Creel's car
and ordered Creel outside. The
shooting then started, with Brunt

Manager Turns

Zoning Plans
Bothwell to Include
Long-Range Planning
In Study of Budget
City Manager Sam H. Bothwell
turned his attention to the city’s
projected zoning program today
and placed long-range city plan-
ning high up on his list of needed
city improvements.
A strong believer in the bene-
fits of zoning, Mr. Bothwell
sought an early conference with
Marvin C. Nichols, chairman of
the nine-man Plan and Zoning
Commission.
The two will study the Zoning
Commission budget and the city’s
financial ability to proceed with
the preliminary survey and map
making.
Depends on Budget
Commission members already
have asked for an increased ap-
propriation.
"Whether we can go ahead with
zoning now depends upon whether
the budget can stand it," Mr.
Bothwell said.
Some opposition to zoning can
be expected, the manager said,
but in later years those who op-
posed it will realize its value.
“There are visible mistakes in
Fort Worth now which might
have been avoided by proper
planning years ago,” he added.
Expers Being Sought
City Council named the Zoning
Commission several months ago
and authoized the manager to be-
gin search for an outside expert
to direct the program. Several ap-
plications for the post already are
on file.
The commission consists of the

In Dam Fight
By United Press.
GREEN MOUNTAIN, Colo.
Aug. 3,—The National Guard
moved into the bloody strike
battle front at this federal dam-
site hoping to effect a peaceful
settlement of the violent contro-
versy.
Maj. Harold Richardson, adju-
tant general of the National
Guard, moved two companies of
militia through nearby Kremm-
ling and advanced on the "No
Man’s Land" around the damsite
hoping to negotiate personally a
temporary settlement.
Bridges Dynamited
At least six men had been
wounded, roads and bridges had
been dynamited and bullets still
were ricocheting off the rocky
terrain and whining up the Green
Mountain Valley when the troops
rolled into view.
The soldiers, mobilized by Gov
Ralph L Carr, who. proclaimed
that “a state of insurrection ex-
ists," arrived with full battle ac-
coutrements after a long struggle
over damaged mountain roads
While the militia was truggling
up the 10,000-foot slope Supt. A.
K. Anderson of the dam and tun-
nel project sent out an emergen-
cy plea for immediate aid.
Closed Shop Sought
The bloody battle at the dam-
site was the climax of a three
weeks’ strike of American Feder-
ation of Labor unions employed
by the Warner Construction Co.,
contractors for the huge irriga-

Ship Reported Afire
Off Florida, But
Search Is In Vain
By United Press.
MIAMI, Fla , Aug. 3.—A ship
and a plane rushed to the aid of
the crew of the 8. S. Dunkwa,
reported in radio distress calls to
have taken to lifeboats after the
Dunkwa burned, reached the
Dunkwa’s position today and
failed to eight either the freight-
er or her crew.
The S. S. Ceiba, one of the five
rescue vessels in the search, re-
ported she had passed over the
position given for the Dunkwa
"and found no trace." The Ceiba,
a fruit vessel, advised she was
turning her search along the Ba-
lama Islands, Tropical Radio here
reported.
A Coast Guard plane, out of
the Miami base for five hours,
made an extensive search of the
Atlantic and Florida Straits near
the Florida Keys and sighted
nothing.
The federal communications of-
ficer here said his agency would
make an investigation of the mes-
sage that reported the Dunkwa’s
asserted plight. Shore operators
suspected the distress calls were
a hoax.
Word from Lloyd's at London
that the Dunkwa is now in Rot-
terdam added to the operators'
suspicions.
