Brigadier-General' Hershey ad-
i dressed the request to the senate
military affairs committee as Sec-
retary of War Stimson announced
the army is prepared to release
regular army men, national
guardsmen and selectees who
would be more vulnerable in skill-
ed civilian defense jobh. The war
uepartment disclosed in connection
with Stimson's announcement that
the release of craftsmen from the
selective service ranks already had
teen a<pproved and many more ap-
plications were waiting action.
Hershey appeared before the
senate committee to indorse a bill
that would permit President
Roosevelt to issue an executive or-
der deferring men in special age
groups.
Stimson said the sole purpose of
the legislation would be to enable
the deferment of men who had
passed their 27th birthday before
the first registration day.

140 Acres Dam
Lands Filed In
CondemnationSuit
MUSKIOGEE, June 6—Continu-
ing the task of acquiring 150,000!
acres of land for the federal gov-j
ejnment—land which will be'
flooded by the huge reservoir to'
be piled up behind the Red River
dam across the Red along the Ok- j
lahoma-Texas boundary — United^
States District Attorney Cleon A-,
Sumner today had filed condem-
nation proceedings against 1401
acres of Bryan county land.
The condemnation suits, one of
dozens which Governor Leon C,
I'hillips recently unsuccessfully at-
tempted to halt through injunction
proceedings in federal court names:
claimants to the property as well j
as state and county taxing units
which also claim an interest in po-
tential tax revenues from the land.
AUSTIN, Tex., June 6-^One of
the most important legislative acts
that hits resulted or will result,
from this session has been con-
sumated today, when the senate
adopted unanimously the concur-
rent resolution sent over to it by
the house effecting certain cor-
rective changes in house joint res-
olution No. 1.
This is the joint resolution pro-
posing a constitutional amendment
which if approved by the voters
in the general election of Novem-
ber, 1942, would authorize a bond
issue to liquidate the deficit in
general fund in whatever may be
the amount of it Sept. 1, 1943, and
the recurrence of deficits in that
and all other funds after Jan. 1,
1945, by forbidding enactment of!
bills carrying appropriations unless,
the comptroller shall have certi-
fied that the prospective revenues
will be sufficient to satisfy its de-
mands in addition to existing de-
mands on the fund against which
it would be a charge if it became j
u law. In case of emergency this j
requirement could be suspended^
by four-fifths vote in each house.
The need of the corrections
made by the resolution was occa-
siond by the action of both house
and senate in having previously
submitted the proposed amend-
ment in terms which were obscure
arid anibigious. The excuse of the
house was the expectation that the
senate would make changes that
would necessitate revision by a
conference committee. This ex-
pectation the senate disappointed;
for instead of considering the pro-
posal, it merely adopted it, heingj
moved to haste by the hope that
adoption would induce Gov. W.
Lee O'Daniel to jump into the sen
atorial contest, and, perchance,
even instantly quit as governor.
GERALD C. MANN, candidate for
the United States Senate, will be
in Denison Saturday morning at
11:30 and will address the voters
of the city. He will speak on the
live issues of the campaign, it is
announced.

British Fleet
Moves Into
French Syria
LONDON, June 6—The British
fleet today was reported moving
into battle positions off the coast
of Erench Syria.
Imperial forces, awaiting an or-
der to attack, faced French de-
fense forces across three barricad-
ed frontiers.
Military experts suggested that
the British high command might,
order an invasion of Syria with j
airborne troops, co-operating with'
ground forces.
Britain's commander in chief of j
the middle-east, Gen. Sir Archibald j
Wavell, was said to regard his po-
sition as sufficiently strong to per-1
mit extension of his fighting front
and an attack on Syra at any time
Its frontier was open only on
the Turkish side and indications
mounted that the British empire
forces, massing along the frontiers
of Palestine, Transjordania and
Iraq might strike soon. There was
widespread belief that the first
blow would come from Palestine,
south of Syria, near the roast.
Reports from Istanbul attribut-
ed to diplomats, that Wavell had
oppos-ed a thrust at Syria were
doubted here. Little credence was
placed in Turkish reports of a dis-
pute between Wavell and Gen.
Charles Cattroux, Free French
leader in the near east who was
said to be demanding an immedi-
ate attack on Syria.

A number of coastguardsmen

Britain in the spring, he said.
Peace officers of the Red River
valley in North Texas and South-
ern Oklahoma, formed an asso-
ciation at a meeting in Hotel
Denison Thursday afternoon to co
ordinate better law enforcement
and closer co-operation.
The association was formed as
a result of discussions of the offi-
cers fingerprinting school which
has been held the past several
weeks at the local police station
under supervision of D. C. Robi-
nett of Sherman, special agent for
the Ftrisco railroad and fingerprint
expert, according to Paul Borum,1
chief of police here. The officers
named Mr. Robinett as permanent
chairman of the association as he
acted as temporary chairman in
opening the meeting.
Borum said twenty-five officers
were attracted to the meeting in-
cluding sheriffs, constables, rail-
road special agents and city offi-
cers of Denison, McKinney, Sher-
man, Durant, Madill, Whitew Vfht,
and Kingston. Among those at-
tending was Bill Barker of Durant,
deputy United States marshal, as-
signed to the Denison dam juris-
diction and A. G. Bumes, Indian
constable of Kingston.
As Denison is more centrally lo-
cated, the officers voted to make
the city permanent meeting head-
quarters and will assemble the
first Thursday in each month at
Hotel Denison. A secretary was
not elected, each department de-
ciding to make their own notes. A
name for the association is to be
selected later.
Tom Suggs, of Denison, judge
of the fifty-ninth district court,
was introduced as speaker for the
evening and explained proper pro-
cedure of presenting felony cases
to juries. J. K. Ellis of Fort Worth
supervisor of special service for
the Katy railroad spoke on bene-
fits of closer co-operation of offi-
cers.
The finger print school, sched-
uled for Thursday night, was can-
celled, and the topic originally
scheduled by Mr. Robinett, will be
discussed Tuesday night.

WASHINGTON, June 6-—The
senate today had approved the as-
signment of Senator Andrew Jack-
son Houston (D.-Tex.) filling the
vacancy caused by the death of]
Senator Morris Sheppard, to four
senate committees.
The junior Texas senator was
given a place on the committee on
commerce, of which Senator Josiah

also was assigned to committees
on post offices and post roads, in-;

MASS MEETING OF
PROPERTY OWNERS
Level It Recovered
City police Thursday afternoon
recovered a level stolen Inst week
from Charles Curtis, 326 W. Sears,
( n employee of the Mitchell Darby
Co., Randell dam contractor, from
the lake. The level had been sold
to a downtown second hand deal-
er.
Property owners in the vicinty
of the proposed Grayson county
airport and interested citizens are
invited to attend a meeting tonight
at the Chamber of Commerce to
discuss the special election Tues-
day which will decide whether
bonds up to $60,000 for purchases
of land tracts on which options
are secured, will be issued. The
meeting will begin at 7:30 o'clock.
Although it is pointed out wir
department approval ha.- not been
given for the location of an army
basic pilots training school on the
proposed county airport south of
Pottsboro, the election is called
so that the county will be able to
proceed with tract purchases after
the approval is given. Preliminary
surveys by the survey section ctew
of the U. S. Engineer is being
completed.
The county commissioners court
plan to purchase the 1,153 acre
tract within 15 days after notifica-
tion of acceptance of the county's
offer of a site A laree part of
this land is under option at $25 an
acre. The interest rate of 1.5
per cent at which the county will
offer the bonds to the Merchants
and Planters bank at Sherman
is the lowest rate the county has
ever had to pay on its offerings.
The commissioners' court order
provides that a tax sufficient to
pay the bonds shall be levied, pro-
ceeds to go into a sinking fund.
The bonds are eight y.'tir maturi-
ties.

AUSTIN, Texas, June 6—The

ate—went into extra innings to-
day after the senate voted, 23 to
5, for sine die adjournment on

tabled, 18 to 10, the house reso-
lution which would have recessed
the session from June 12 to June
30 without pay. The next move is
up to the house-
Thus far the house has not vot-
ed for absolute adjournment and
with equal emphasis the senate has
rejected all recess propositions.
Before the final vote was takes
Joe Hill of Henderson, in opposing
adjournment, again castigated the
governor with an argument that
the legislature should not place
itself at the mercy of a governor's
political pruning knife.
Hill warned that O'Daniel could
destroy or seriously impair state
institutions and departments with
political veto to impress the peo-
ple with his idea of economy.
Hill charged that the only econ-
omy the governor over exhibited
was in his ruthless political vetoes
of two years ago which resulted
in keeping insane in the jails three
years longer than they should have
been kept there.
