Sam Baugh Says
He Will Return
His Alma Mater
FORT WORTH Aug. 7 (U.R)—
Sammy Baugh, All American foot-
ball quarterback at Texas Christ-
ian University, stated definitely
today that he would return to
hit alma mater as freshman
coach next fall.
Baugh, in Denver this week
to play baseball tot a Rampa
aemi-pro team, signed a contract
to play with the Washington pro-
fessional football team owned
by George Marshall. The con-
tract, however, stipulates only
that Baugh must play with Wash-
ington if he plays professional
football at all.
I am going to stay at TCU
Baugh wrote from Denver "I can
•till learn lots of football from
Dutch (Leo) Myer, and Mike (Les-
ter) Burmbelow, linecoach. There-
fore, I am going to give it a try."

in saying that it has cost these
various counties from $15,000 to

as Limestone county is concerned

Officer Called
Arrest Woman;
It's His Sister
CHICAGO, Aug. 11, (U?)—A
telephone jangled at the 39th dis-
trict police station last night. The
desk sargeant answered and a wo-
man's voice excitedly asked for
Help- a "shooting of some kind
next door."
The officer summoned Julius
Gebhardt, dispatched him with a
fellow oficer to a building a few
blocks away.
The policemen found George
Werelin, 47. a Carpenter, dead in
the dining room of a second story
apartment, his body punctured five
times with bullets. His hysterical
wife was in another room.
"Momy shot daddy when he chok-
ed her,"5 9-year-old Shirley Were-
lin told officers. The argument
was over financial matters, the
child said.
"Looks like we'll ahve t6 take
the wife in,"5 Gebhardt's partner
suggested.
"I wish we didn't have to," Geb-
hardt answered, "she's my sifcter."

grants a 10-year tax exemption to
new industries. Georgia recently
ratified two constitutional amend
ments which permit* the City of
Waycross and Ware county to levy
taxes for attracting new industries.
Similar Inducements have been
granted ih Cities of Tennesee,
Alabama, and the Carolina?,.
Mississippi's law has been at-
tacked as violating the state con-
stitution. State Rep. Samuel E.
Lumpkin, of Tupelo, who led the
fight against the stateute, told the
United Press:
"The balance agriculture with in-
dustry" law is unconstitutional be-
cause it violates an amendment
passed in 1390 when railroads were
seeking right of way, free taxes
and other gifts from cities and
towns.
"The amendment provided that
cities cannot directly give aid to
industries in any such manner. The
White industrial law attempted to
get around this with a preamble
which stated an emergency existed
and that the legislation was neces-
sary in the public interest.''
Lumpkin said a strong effort
would be made to repeal the act
in the next legislature. Dissasiifac-
tiOn with results of the law is
growing, he charged, because of
low wages and long hours.
Lumpkin said that during some
weeks a textile factory at Aber-
deen, Miss., paid girls checks which
ranged from $1.66 to $3.56 for 45
hours work. He said similar Con-
ditions exist in other mills.
A. Steve Nance, director Of the
textile drive in the south, declared
the greatest fault with offering in-
ducement* to industries is that wa-
gaes, hours and working conditions
are not mentioned in the contracts.
"Cities Offer everything possible
to an industry in order to obtain
a "payroll" for the community but
never mention a minimum wage
level," Nance said. "Consequently
the industry comes in, pays wages
