Labor Bill Passage Expected

WASHINGTON (AP) - A corn-
promise laboT regulation bill ham-
mered out in 12 days of arduous
Senate « House bargaining comes
up jn the Senate today for an ex-
pected near-unanimous passage

The measure then will go to the
House, which may send it on to
President Eisenhower Friday.
Eisenhower's approval Is con-

On the first six titles dealing

The compromise won almost

Wind Blast
RipsRpof
Off School
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A blast of wind ripped the roof
off the Millsap High School Thurs-
day but teachers and pupils es-
caped injury.
The blast came as a severe
squall line swept through the
state, bringing rain, hail and high
winds.
The Weather Bureau issued a
tornado forecast for a segment
of northwest Texas.
The Millsap storm struck about
11 a m. when most of the 356
students were in the cafeteria.
School officials hastily herded the
pupils into a storeroom for pro-
tection. ’
The west end of the agriculture
building on the campus was blown
away.
A bam also was demolished in
the north central Texas town, and
the storm dumped 1.50 inches of
j-ain on the area.
At Wichita Falls, a thunder-
storm dumped 1.37 inches of rain
and water ran curb deep down-
town. No serious flooding oc-
curred. Cecil McAda of the Texas
Electric Co. suffered superficial
burns while working on a high

Supt. Mrs, Mildred Crawford
said 1,365 students had registered
and others are still coming in
daily.
At least six more classrooms are
now urgently needed to accommo-
date the overflow of students in
junior and senior high school, she
said.
Provisions are being made to
utilize all available space to ac-
commodate the overflow, with
classes presently being taught in
the band hall, the school library,
vestibule, and in the School audi-
torium.
"We are even teaching three
classes daily in the teachers’
lounge,” the superintendent point-
ed out.
“However, necessary adjust-
ments are being made and the
problem is being handled as
smoothly as possible,” she added.
Classes will continue to be taught
in the gymnasium throughout the
day, and in the band hall when it
is not being used for band practice,
move classes out of the library in
order for it to be used by the stu-
dent body as it should be, Mrs.
Crawford explained.
West Orange Independent School
District enrollment has been grow-
ing by leaps and bounds for the
past several years, with an aver-
age increase of 100 scholastics an-
nually.
A major expansion program is
now under way in the district that
will provide the school with a new
28-classroom elementary school
building. However, this project will
not be completed until the begin-
ning of the next school year.
At that time, the space now be-
ing used by elementary students
will be incorporated in the junior
and senior high school, where addi-
tional room is most urgently
needed.
The West Orange elementary
school enrolled 780 students this
year in comparison with 740 last
year while the high school took in
285 students over 231 last year.
Enrollment in junior high was list-
ed at 300 this year while last year
Directors of the Orange Cham-
ber of Commerce agreed yesterday
ernoon to Investigate the possi-
tes for constructing a building
to house its offices.
Jerry ThorneU, chamber vice
president, and Mgr. Bob Dear
were requested to make the in-
vestigation.
The decision was made at a
special meeting of the board dur-
ing which the directors voted to
decline an offer of space in the
new building being erected by Or-
ange Savings & Loan Assn, at 7th
St. and Front Ave.
The chamber formerly occupied
its own building on a part of the
7th street frontage of the OS&L
structure. It was sold to the sav-
ings and loan firm along with the
land. Money obtained from the
chamber’s equity ji the property
has been invested pending a deci-
sion as to whether it would rent
office space in the future or pro-
vide its own.
Offices of the chamber are pres-
ently located at 603 Front St. in

. It is known that the Italians are
concerned over their -own role In
the Western alliance and show no
inclination to allow De Gaulle an
overshadowing position.
Since Italy has welcomed NATO
atomic missile bases on her soil,
the Italians feel that their contri-

greater than that of France. De
Gaulle has thus far refused such
bases and this is one of the points
of friction.
These problems have disturbed
the atmosphere within NATO for
many months, and this was one

decision to pay a surprise visit to

Wagner To Strengthen Police
Force in Juvenile Crime War
NEW YORK (AP)—Mayor Rob-
ert F. Wagner says he will add
1,080 policemen to help stamp out
juvenile violence, which has re-
sulted in four murders since
Aug. 23.
After police arrested two teen-
age Puerto Ricans Wednesday for
killing two youths in a public play-
ground last Sunday, Wagner said
the Police Department would be
brought to Its fully authorized
strength of 24,508 men.
The mayor directed City Budg-
et Director Abraham D. Beame
to report today on what ”sac-
riflces” may be necessary in oth-
er city programs to bolster the
police force.
In addition to Wagner’s city hall
meeting, Gov. Nelson A. Rocke-
feller holds an emergency confer-
ence today to discuss with state
officials a "more effective coordi-
nation” of all agenefes in reduc-
ing youthful crime. ’’
There has been official talk of
a curfew for youth on New York
streets.. In Washington, Sen. Ja-
cob K. Javits/ (R-NY) urged con-
sideration of such a measure.'
Rockefeller invited FBI Direc-
tor J. Edgar Hoover to attend a
meeting of city and state officials
next Tuesday. Hoover said a pre-
vious commitment would make it
impossible for him to be here.
Booked on homicide charges in
the playground murders were
"Cape Man” Salvatore Agron, 18,
and "Umbrella Man” Antonio
Luis Hernandez, 17.
Agron has admitted wielding a
knife during the senseless slay,
ings of Robert Young and An-
thony Krzesinski, both 16, but he
would not admit to police respon-
sibility for any deaths.
Hernandez, whom police
carries an umbrella and use;
as a weapon, had admitted .Noth-
ing. Six youths have now been
formally charged with/liomicitie
in the case.
Police seized Hernandez and

An earlier case, reported by Dr.

volved a dog Here. At least eight
humans were exposed, according
to Dr. Maier.
V. J. Theriot of Bridge City re-
ported that he was bitten several
days ago by a dog the State Health
Department later diagnosed as
rabid.
The veterinarians agreed there
are “many dogs in the county that
need vaccinating,” although most
of them are believed to.have stray-
ed or been "dumped” from other
counties, since there has been a
fairly intensive campaign against
rabies in Orange County.
They made an urgent plea to
pet owners to have their animals
—four months up — vaccinated
immediately. Otherwise, they
agreed, "there could be an out-
break.”
