Various drilling companies are
reported making elaborate plans
for 1955 operations in Nolan, Fish-
er and neighboring counties.
Hopes for Ellenburger pay are
still being entertained around
at
which will begin construction
the airport at an early date.
Although very little of the hous-
ing will be needed before about
May 15, Major Garner is anxious
to know what to expect in the way
of housing for personnel.
Early estimates placed approxi-
mately 80 per cent of personnel in
the married and with family cate-
gory, calling for adequate rental
property.
In view of these facts, the Hous-
ing Committee of the BCD is be-
ginning a survey of the housing

TAIPEI, Formosa, Wednesday, Jan. 19—UP—Red China
Wednesday claimed the surrender of tiny Yikiangshan is-
land less than three hours' after the Communist forces
launched a full-scale amphibious invasion of the National-
ist island.
The surrender came, according to a Communist broadcast
from Peiping monitores in Tokyo by the United Press,
shortly after 1 a. m , est, Tuesday. There was no imme-
diate confirmation of the surrender by Nationalist head-
quarters here.
The invasion was preceded by an aerial bombardment.
The invasion, if confirmed, will be
the first successful Communist Chi-
nese invasion of any Nationalist-
held offshore island and military
observers predicted it may be the
first round in a battle for the
strategic Tachen islands, 12 miles
to the south of Yikiangshan.
Earlier the Nationalist Chinese
defense ministry confirmed that a
battalion of Nationalist troops was
battling two separate Red attempts
to get ashore at Yikiangshan, which
guards the approaches to Tachen
islands.
The Nationalist headquarters said
the attack was preceded by bom-
bardment from 60 Red Chinese
bombers, escorted by Russian •
made MIG-15 fighters. The aerial
attack destroyed 70 tons of supplies
which had been sent to the Tachens
as a Christmas gift from America.
The air-sea attack was the first
combined operation against Chi-
ang Kai-Shek's outpost islands
since the "little war" erupted in
the South China Sea last Septem-
ber with the shelling of Nationalist-
held Quemoy island.
Reports from Yikiangshan suit'

supported the Red Chinese landing
parties.

has been committed to protect
Chiang's main island of Formosa

area.
More than 100 bombs were
dropped on Yikiangshan and Ta-
chen during an early morning
raid.

A wind-filled squall-line moved
across the northern portion of No-

eastward, bringing rain and hail
to Taylor. Jones and Eastland
counties.
Traces of rain were reported in

ville. the 'atter which received ap-
proximately .1 of an inch of mois-

handle. Hail and .4 of an inch of

miles east of Nolan-Divide.
Temperatures failed to drop to
the expected sub-freezing level

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18—UP—
Democrats attacked President
Eisenhower's budget from both
flanks Tuesday—for his failure to
get the treasury out of the red
and for some of the economies he
recommended.
Many Democrats and Republi-
cans who were still hoping to
balance the budget were pointing
to an expanded aid program as the
top priority target for congressional
budget cuts.
The Democratic national com-
mittee distributed to lawmakers in
that party a "confidential" memo-
randum which seemed to reflect a
fair cross-section of the Democratic
reaction in congress. The memo
suggested that the budget failed to
carry out 1952 Republican cam-
paign pledges and that the Presi-
dent had reversed his field on a
number of recommendations.
Mr. Eisenhower sent congress

Appearance Of US
Fighter Planes Stop
Costa Rica Revolt
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Jan. 18
—UP—The government reported
"complete calm" throughout Costa
Rica early Tuesday, and it ap-
peared the arrival of four outdat-
ed U, S. fighter planes had brok-
en the back of an eight-day revolt.
Two Amertem-built AT-5 train-
ers—two-thirds of the known rebel
"air force"—fled to Nicaragua and
were interned there Monday,
shortly after the F-51 fighters land-
ed in San Jose. The only rebel
plane not yet accounted for is a
U. S. built F-47 fighter.
Another blow to the rebel cause
was the reported death of Capt.
Teodoro Picado, West Point-train-
ed son of an ousted ex-president. ■
Picado was the reputed leader of
the insurgent army.
The rebel radio reported the
younger Picado's death Mondty, (
but changed its story in later
broadcasts to say he had been re-
placed in supreme command by
ex-President Rafael A. Calderon
Guardia while retaining tactical
command of the rebel troops.
The government announced ear-,
ly Tuesday, however, it has "per-
fectly confirmed" that Picado was !
killed Saturday in fighting around
the northwestern outpost of Santa I
Rosa, high point attained by the
rebel advance.
The Costa Rican embassy in
Washington said Monday the F-51s,
sold to Costa Rica Sunday for the
token sum of $1 each, had "scat-
tered the insurgents fat Santa'

tance." Less than two hours later,
the embassy contradictcd itself,
saying the planes were not yet in
action.

he stated. "Then we will revamp
the lobby. It was once a beauti-
ful lobby, and we will attempt to
recapture the style and original
beauty."
As soon as wealher permits, the
outside of the hotel, including
ground floor rental property, will
be redecorated, he said.
"We wish to cooperate with the
citizens of Sweetwater in making
the hotel a civic center," Marsters
declared. "We are going forward
with a new look, physically and in
service, and we welcome criticism,
in order to cooperate and serve the
citizens of Sweetwater in the best
manner possible."
Marsters stated he was very im-
pressed with Sweetwater, its
friendlines, and the possibilities
offered here.
Although he will not actively
manage the hotel, Marsters said
he and his wife plan to spend con-
siderable time in Sweetwater and
with the hotel.
In addition to the lumber and
ranching interests, the Marsters
own a racing stable, and are
breeders of thoroughbred and
quarter horses. Their stable was
the leading stable at the Portland
Meadows track in Oregon, one of
the West Coast's leading tracks.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Marsters
have competed in several trap-
shooting contests, and Mrs. Mars-
ters is past women's trapshooting
champion of Idaho.

Two persons were fined for
drunkenness in City Police Court
Tuesday, one for $10 and the other
for $25. A third person was fined
$100 on a disturbance charge.
French Amis Pool
Plan Nearly Doomed
PARIS, Jan. 18 —UP—Britain
lined up with West Germany and
Holland Tuesday in a move that
practically doomed a bold French
plan to put the proposed European
arms pool under a single agency.
A weak compromise on the
French plan began to emerge,
however, before France's partners
officially went to work on demol-
ishing the single-agency idea.
Informed sources said some sort
of arms pool definitely will grow
out of a seven-nation conference
being held here.
These sources said Germany,
Britain and Holland would turn
down the French plan with Ger
man economics minister Ludwig
Erhard outlining his country's of-
ficial view.
Erhard circulated a memoran-
dum to other conference delegates
Monday, stating West Germany's
objections to the French plan un-
der which a single agency would
control the manufacture and dis-
tribution of arms.
Britain's principal objection was
known to be against a provision
which would permit the suprana-
tional agency to control arms con-
tracts.
As the delegates met, a Soviet
diplomatic offensive operated with
precision against Germany and
France.
Radio Moscow Monday night
shifted its appeal to French opin-
ion with the charge that the arms
pool would be only "a smoke
screen behind which the allies
would favor Germany."

AUSTIN, Jan. 18—UP—Gov. Al-
lan Shivers, launched into a third
term amid the pomp of inaugural
pageantry, Tuesday called for dras-
tic revision of the executive branch
of Texas' state government.
Speaking more in the manner of
a retired elder statesman than an
incoming governor, the handsome
47-year-old chief executive called
for a long-look at state government.
In solemn open - air ceremonies
buffeted by a north wind and wit-
nesses by thousands, the governor
warned that Texans must "not al-
low our preoccupation with current
needs to turn our eyes away from
a long look ahead."
Paced by the rumbling roar of

urged that future governors be
given authority that balances their
responsibilities, and suggested the
present two-year term should be

the administration have the will,
Byrd, chairman of the Senate
Finance committee, also declared
his opposition to any permanent

there would be no need for even a
temporary increase, such as con-
gress voted for the current fiscal
year.

in office.
Speaking from a bunting-draped
wooden platform erected on the
south steps of the historic Capitol,
