avet said, were planned In order
to determine whether the city
garbage department can lgally
collect pickup fees from the pub-
lic and private housing projects
despite the fact that this service
is given free to other residential
areas. ‘
• He explained the action was
necessary because the city Is
having trouble meeting the ex-
pense of free garbage collection
service for householders set ap
by the administration ptreed-
lag his awn.
The mavest's announcement fol-
lowed scvrrel weeks of discus-
sion with offices of the housing
authority t oncoming the garbage
pickup problem and several
months of argument with the
management of Riverside, Inc.
over the seme irsue.
Disclosure of plans to sue the
bousing authority drew an imme-
diate prerest tram J. Cullen
Browning, chairman of its board.
“I don*' think a lawsuit is
necessary, he declared, adding:
“Members of this board already
have expressed a willingness to
pay for garbage pickup service if
lhey con find any legal basis fir
doing so mu we have an approved
budget with a<lowance for this
pavment.”

The sheriff’s department
and Orange city police today
were trying to contact rela-
tives in Arkansas and Ten-
nessee of an aged transient
whose body was found near the
Southern Pacific railroad tracks
at the wc4 ena of the Adams
uayou trestle late Monday night.
Deputy Sheriff Pearce Bland,
the invesigating officer, and
Claybar lunerat home attendants
ound Eugene Barnes, about 60.
in a dying condition when they
,-rrived at the scene shortly after
11 p. m.
Barnes' head had bVen smashed,
but his body otherwise was not
mutilated. He was found on the
south side of the tracks.
The engineer of the Acadian,
SP passenger train which passes
through Orange going east each
light at ’0:35 reported seeing
Barnes' body as the train passed.
The depot relayed the report to
the sheriffs department.

Use of Youth Ceoter
Mayor Sid Caillavet and Recrea-
tion Director Bob Whitehead have
talked to Riverside officials and
hope the Youth center may con-
tine in operation there at least un-'
til the first of the year.
“We’ve asked Riverside Manager !
O. G. Powledge to take the matter j
up with Owner A. Pollard Simon.")
said the mayor today. "We’ve ask-
ed to be allowed to go ahead with [
oudt teenage program at least to
Jan. 1."
Powledge had received instruc-
tions last Friday from Simon to
demolish the building. Extensive
maintenance costs were the prinei-
pal factor influencing the decision.
Today Mayor Caillavet revealed
that more than 100 window panes
have been smashed by neighbor-
hood air rifles. “The Riverside
management couldn’t afford the
repair blH," explained the mayor.
Monday night Mayor Caillavet
met with ’teenagers at the River-
side youth center to plead for their
assistance .n keeping down break-
age. In effect, the mayor asked
that the ’teenage users of the club
help police the building to keep
down the damage wrought by van-
dals.
“If we can use the building un-
til the first of the year, keep it in
good repair,” the mayor surmised,
“perhaps Mr. Simon will let us
continue using the building in-
definitely.
Toil Over Ballots
Orange eounty election
judges learned early today
that they were in for a busy
time between the 8 a. m. poll
opening and the tabulation of
the last vtte some time tonight or
Wednesday.
A record vote—perhaps exceed-
ing 12,000— was in prospect in the
county and indications were that
it will ba many hours alter tfie
polls close before complete re-
sults of the voting here are
known.
An absentee vote record of 416
already had betn set. This was
the figure at the county clerk's
office at mid-morning and it was
possible that other eligible ab-
sentee bn Lots would be received
in the mail during the day. The
mid-morning count, however, al-
ready had. topped the previous
record by one vote. .
Lines Form Early
At every box In the eounty,
early blni voters were on hand at
the starting hour ready to say
whether they preferred Ike or
Adlai for president and to choose
t>etween slates of Democratic and
Republican candidates for district
and county offices.
Complications resulting from
the fact that many voters, were
splitting their tickets slowed down
voting and at seme of the larger (■
boxes lines begi n to form early
in the day. By sundown the lines |
are expected to be many yards:

ALICE (AP) — Texas Rangers
were on hand today for a local
election so hot that the national

effort to beat three candidates
backed by political boss George B.
Pharr of Duval county.
At least four persons have
claimed their lives were threaten-
ed because of their political af-
filiation.

The write-in efforts are in be-
