Dog Quarantine To See
Full Enforcement Monday
Orange County’s dog quarantine gets down to real business Mon-

Source of Teacher
Easter Bonus Fund
Explained by Butler
School Business Manager Charles
Austin today was “working up in-
formation” preparatory to the pay-
ment of an Easter bonus to some
303 persons employed as teachers
and other personnel by the Orange
Independent School District,
To the teachers will go an extra
pay in the amount of about $37.50
each, the result of a campaign for
a bonus fund. Non-teaching per-
sonnel of the district will receive
about $42.50 apiece.
A bonus in these amounts was
made possible this week by a
57,788.17 contribution from an an-
onymous donor and $6,000 provid-
ed by the Board of Education.
Bin Butler, president of the|
toard, explained today that about
$3,200 of the $8,000 provided by
the district came from the pay-
ment in lieu of taxes on low-rent
housing which the city govern-
ment turned over to the board.
Some of the remainder, he add-
ed, was available because the fed-
eral government’s allotment to the
district this term for maintenance
and operation was a little bigger
than expected.

part of their extra pay comes out
of lunchroom operating profits re-
sulting from “good purchasing.”
Staunch Defenders
Await New Violent
Rebel Attacks On
Important Outpost
HANOI, Indochina (AP) -
French guns from the United
States and Chinese-supplied
Vietminh artillery dueled at
long range today across the
barbed wire of Dien Bien Phu
as the defenders of the big French
fortress in northwest Indochina
awaited more violent rebel as-
saults.
With clear, sunny weather the
French also unleashed the full
fury of their air power on the
Communist-led rebels’ artillery
posts and troops massed around
the heavily fortified plain. In their
sixth day of constant attack, the
French still were confident they
would win a major victory. •
Latest word from the battle-
ground plain six miles long snd
four miles wide said the rebels
still had not resumed the frontal
assults by thousands of scream-
ing fanatic warriors which so far
had been unable to penetrate the
barbed wire ringed, bunkered
heart of the fortress.
Though the French expected a
resumption of the rebel charges
momentarily, the Vietminh since
yesterday had steered shy of the
mad, wave-on-wav® rushes which
had strewn the battlefield and
barbed ' ire with an estimated 3,-
000 rebel dead and 9.000 wounded-
equivalent of a full division.
From land and aircraft carrier
bases American-supplied Hellcats,
Bearcats, Privateers and B26
bombers roared over Dien Bien
Phu to paste the rebels.
Other transports continued to

and war material to the French

The French conceded their own
losses were "appreciable” but
released no figures. The garrison
farce includes Frenchmen, Foreign
Legionnaires, Algerians, Moroc-
cans, Vietnamese and Thai tribes-
men. ,
The French made ready for
more furious assults with the
possibility that Gen. Vo Nguyen

will have afforded every dog
owner in the county the opportun-
ity to have his dog vaccinated.”
That meant, to Dr. Maier who
is the Livestock Sanitation Com-
mission’s agent in Orange county,
that the quarantine enforcement
will begin.
“The county’s pound man," he
explained, “will be expected to
begin picking up all strays and
to file complaints against their
owners.”
Maier said one complaint had
already been made and a dog
owner fined $15 for failure to com-
ply with the quarantine.
Fines for violation of the quar-
antine, Dr. Maier explained can
range from $1 to $200.

U.S. Scientists Have Broken Through
Atomic 'Logjam/ Lawmaker Declares
WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep.
Van Zandt (R-Pa.) said today
American scientists have broken
through * logjam in the develop-
ment of hydrogen and atomic
power, and that the achievement
points to accelerated development
of both weapons and civilian
power.
He gave no details. His predic-
tion followed these disclosures:
1. Members of the Senate-
House Atomic Energy. Committee
confirmed that a preliminary hy-
drogen explosion March 1 in the
Pacific was three or four times
heavier than scientists expected.
Van Zandt estimated its power at
600 times that of the Hiroshima
atom bomb, the first one used in
warfare.
Ike Delays Comment
2. Informed sources who de-
clined to be named said the Unit-
ed States now is stockpiling hy-
drogen bombs that could be deliv-
ered anywhere In the world. This
followed a statement by Rep. W.
Sterling Cole (R-NY) Tuesday
night that this country haa a de-
liverable hydrogen bomb. Presi-
dent Eisenhower asked at his
news conference about Cola’s
statement, reserved comment un-
til next week. Col* it chairman
of the Senate-House Atomic Ener-
gy Committee, and Van Zandt is
a member.
3. Military officials gave an
Atomic Energy subcommittee yes-
terday what members called a
“highly optimistic” review of de-
velopments in atomic energy for
such nonweapons purposes as pro-
pelling ships and aircraft.
Logjam Unspecified
. It was .after this meeting that
Van Zandt said in an interview
that an unspecified logjam has
been broken and rapid progress is
prospective.
"I am more enthusiastic now
than ever before about the pomj-
bUities,” he said.
Meanwhile, two other commit-
tee members, Representatives
Durham (D-NC) and Price v(D-
111) called upon the Atomic Ener-
gy Commission to tell the public
all it can about the Pacific hydro-
gen blast

"is such a horrible thing it's best
to tell the world about it." Price

The dust by mid-morning had

The varied weather was due to

Temperatures dropped only slight-

City Board To Discuss Housing Removal
Discusaion of their position In the
hassle over removal of the West
Navy housing is the principal item
on the agenda for today's 5:30
p.m. meeting of the city's housing
commissioners.
Housing Authority Chairman J.
Cullen Browning said in advance
of the session, "We don't know
where we stand in this thing but
the members of the board Intend
to find out.” ,
He explained that the recent

Not Bad, Prince Says,
FORT WORTH (AP)—Prince
Bernhard of Th* Netherlands says
there is little danger in flying fast-
er than sound and that his country
may be in th* market soon for
some U.S. planes.
The flying prince, husband of
The Netherland's Queen Juliana,
did not like criticism leveled at
him by Dutch newspapers for his
spectacular flying recently.
Louw, one of th* Dutch papers,
said the prince twice risked his
life last week by flying U J. stones
Earl Turnell has been interpreted
as meaning that title to housing
remaining on the West Navy site
on Jan. 24 may have reverted to
the federal government.
In that case. Browning added,
custody of the property may also
have returned to the, City Hous-
ing Authority under its leas# con-
tract with PHA on the war hous-
ing.
“We had no official notice of
this, hrwever, until we received a
copy of Amis’ letter to Turnell a
few day* ago,” he said.
A resolution calling on PHA to
speed up removal of the West
Navy buildings was passed by the
City authority a month ago. At
that time. Browning said, the
board had no inkling that the
property may have been tecnical-
ly in its custody since it had not
been furnished a copy of the sales
contract with Turnell.
He said also that he had broach-
ed the subject to Ami* in Dec-
omber when the PHA regional di-
rector paid- a visit to Orange and
hod been assured that the matter
would be looked into immediately

conditions, in order that our chil-
dren might grow up as free Tex-
ans, with the proper appreciation
of human decency and a righting
ings so the land could be returned
to its owners and put to some good
use.” He said members of the
housing board also objected to
rent-free use of th* West Navy
site for business purpose* after
the expiration date of th* sales
contract.
Now that the question of owner-
ship and custody of the structures
has been raised, he continued, “the
city authority wants to know ex-
actly where it stands.”
Browning said he had wired
Amis several days ago asking for
a legal opinion as to who owns the
structures but up to this morning
had received no reply.
“We want it known ” he em-
phasized, “that the members of
the Orange Housing Board have
no responsibility in this mixup
and we’re going to take any steps
necessary to hare our position
