His Condemnation
On Special Laws
AUSTIN, Tex., Nov. 9—Contin-

special laws enacted under the
guise of general statutes by using
individual population brackets,
Atty. Gen. Gerald C. Mann today

that he cannot legally approve
budgets and expenditures of the

salaries and extra expenses of
county superintendents and assist
ants under these condemned acts.
There are approximately fifty
such acts for 140 counties and
all fall under the attorney gener-
al's proscription.
All the counties affected were
under the census prior to that of
1040. It might change the status

Mann advised Wood that the
State Board of Education is not
authorized to order him to remit
I to any such county the amount of
the available school fund to pay
items in excess of the amounts au-
thorized under the general laws.
Payment of salaries and ex-
penses to the county superintend-
ents and assistants in the counties
must conform to the general stat-
utes, Mann said. In some in-
stances there is a population
spread of but five persons to pre-
vent the local act from being a
general law, which he asserts is
clearly unconstitutional.
A general law, which Mann
holds must control, requires each
county to submit a budget to the
state school department to serve
a? a basis for the allocation and
payment of certain portions of
the available school fund out of
which is paid the salaries and ex-
penses of the local officers.
Construction
On Bridge Over
Washita Begins
DURANT, Ok., Nov. 9 — Guy
James, Norman contractor, with
30 men today be^in construction
ot' the oilfield bridge on Washita
river between Bryan and Marshall
counties.
The concrete and steel struc-
ture, which will cost approximate-
ly $30,000, will connect the Bry-
an and Marshall county areas of
Pure Oil company's Cumberland
field, and improved roads have al-
ready been completed in both
counties as approaches to the
bridge.
The bridge, which is being con-
structed by the highway depart-
ment, will be a great benefit to
not only oil fields officials and
workers in commuting back and
forth between the two sections of
the field, but will be convenient
to the general public as well.
Pure early in its development in
the field constructed a pedestrian
bridge across the Washita which
has been used by officials and
workmen in going from one side
of the river to the other.
The bridge is expected to be
completed in about two months.

New Time Set
For Armistice
Parade, Sherman
A rinouncement of a change of
hour when the Denison Legion-
naire members and others will
leave Denison to participate in the
Sherman celebration of Armistice
day is announced by Joe May.
Mr. May states the hour has
been set at 11 a. m. Monday and
that all those to go to Sherman
will meet in the 100 block North
Armstrong, immediately west of
the high school building.
A large group of members of
tin; Legion, along with others 'nave
promised to join in the event and
the crowd from Denison is ex-
pected to swell the attendance of
the Sherman crowd considerably.
The number of floats from this
city is expected to be less than a
half dozen, but more than 300 per-
sons are expected to attend the
parade in Sherman.
The participation of the Legion
members and -"Denison folk in the
parade is in reciprocation of their
joining this city in the Labor day
parade.

Feuhrer Says No

MVNICH, Germany, Nov. 9—
Adolt Hitler rejected any com-
promise and stormily voiced his
determination to carry the war to
a "decisive conclusion," challeng-
ing any coalition of powers to de-
feat his Reich.
The Fuehrer reiterated his in-
tentions before his Nazi party fol-
lowers Friday night on the 17th
anniversary of the famous 1923
beer hall putBch that failed.
He claimed Germany's arma-
ment production capacity was the
largest in the world and that the
Reich would soon have the capac-
ity of the hest of Europe added to
its own.
Hitler condemned what he cal1-
ed the nightly attacks by tne Brit-

population and stressed the re-
prisals of the German air force

OKLAHDMA CITY, Nov. 9—
Governor Phillips today issued his
"final order" authorizing ths
scheduled execution of Roger
Cunningham, convicted wifeslay-
er, in the electric chair at McAl-
ester penitentiary Nov. 15.
The chief executive announced
lie had "no intention of permitting
this electrocution to become a Ro-
man holiday."
Phillips said he had issued no
invitations for attendance at the
execution, and indicated he would
grant none.
"The officials who have to go
will be there, but I can't see why
anyone else would want to witness
such a thing except for morbid
curiosity," Phillips observed.
"The county attorney of Pitts-
burg county and the prison au-
thorities and a few other people
will be there," Phillips said. "It is
one of the unpleasant duties they
are required to perform. They
have to perform part of it and I
have to perform part of it."

Thompson And
Blalock Told
To Report
AUSTIiN, Nov. 9—Col. Ernest
Thompson, commanding the 111th
Quartermaster Regiment, Texas
National Guard, and Lieut. Col.
Myron G. Blalock state staff fin-
ance officer and national demo-
cratic committeeman, were among
twelve National Guard officers,
along with twenty enlisted men,
ordered to the 36th Division Head-
quarters at San Antonio Monday
to remain on duty through Nov.
24, the day preceding the muster-
ing for the year's training.
Col. Thompson is a most active
member of the Railroad Commis<
sion and takes a leading part in
all oil and gas regulation discus-
sions and decisions,, therefore his
absence may be felt within the
commission. However, he is ex-
pected to be here for the state

Nov. 1.1, anniversary of the World
War Armistice, were by Major
Gen. Ctaude V. Birkenhead, com-
manding the 36th Division, who
will join his fellow officers at
headquarters for preliminary work
to the Camp Brownwood training
period.
Most of his one-hour speech was
devoted to extolling the virtues of
the Nazi party and reviewing its
struggles and the course of the
war.
The radio did not carry the
speech to the people; they were
informed that the text would not
be carried until Saturday. In the
meantime, only a brief summary
was made public and that without
direct quotations.
Even Hitler's appearance was
unheralded. Ostensibly he came
here for the official opening of
the annual art exposition.
The German wireless said Hitler
told his followers: "The fight will
be continued until we end it by
cur victory," and that he recount'
ed the gigantic military feats of
German soldiers.
Tremendos cheers were raised,
the radio said, when Hitler spoke
of the inner strength and unity
of the nation, of the immense
striking power of the German
armed forces and the absolute cer-
tainty of the victory of the Ger-
man people and its leadership.

at Munich while Adolf Hitler was
defying the world Friday night,
and during the night British
planes ranged over wide areas of
Germany, Italy, Nazi-held terri-

The British high command
claimed the RAF raids last night
and early today were the greatest
of the war, and said military ob-
jectives were hit at Munich, some
of the bombs falling near the
famous beer hall where Hitler was
addressing his Reich cohorts on
the 17th anniversary of his un-

The British air ministry said
damaging blows had been struck

WAR DEPARTMENT
BACKS STANDARDS
W ASHINGTON. Nov. 9—The
war department said today that
the maintenance of existing stan-
dards for workers on defense pro-
jects was essential to the success
of the defense program.
This statement was made in a
declaration of labor policy issued
by Assistant Secretary Robert P.
Patterson, and concerned directly
the question of standards to be
followed in construction of sev-
eral thousand cantonments at ar-
my training centers.
"The overwhelming mass of
American workers," Patterson
said, " are intensely patriotic and
want to help defend their country.
They want to cooperate and they
are co-operating. But co-operation
must work both ways. Labor stan-
dards as to wages, hours of work
and overtime, among others, must

The war department's policy,
he said, followed the pattern of
a world war policy providing for
payment of union wage scales and
for a standard work day, with
time and a half for overtime. It
was governed directly, he noted,
by acts of congress and policy
statements of President Roosevelt
and the defense commission pro-
viding also for a basic forty-hour,
five-day week.
Patterson stressed, however,
that the forty-hour week could
not apply to the production of
planes, tanks and other essential
munitions. All arsenals and many
plane factories are working now
on three shifts of six days a week
on an overtime basis.
AUSTIN, Tex., Nov. 9—A
company appealing to the railroad
commission for review of a rate
reduction ordinance must do so
within a reasonable time, Attor-j
rey General Gerald C. Mann rul-
ed today.
The opinion answered a request j
of Chairman Lon A. Smith and j
Commissioner Jerry Sadler, who!
questioned the commission's juris- I c'c.'
diction in an appeal of the Hous- 'grants,
ton Natural Gas company from a|
City of El Campo reduction.
The utility did not originally
appeal to the commission from
the city's rate ordinance effective
Sept. 1, 1939, but attacked valid-
ity of the statues on which it was
based. After the statutes had
been upheld and nearly a year
later, the company on Aug. 9,
1940, appealed to the commis-
sion.
Mann said the statute prescribes
no time within which the appeal
may be taken, although the time
element usually is specified. He
gave as his opinion there should
be read into the statute as a ne-
cessary implication the require-
ment that an appeal should be
taken within a reasonable time.
"At all events we are of the
opinion that where the longest

that the fire was extinguished be-
