Politics-
Strike-
(Continued from Page 1)
There are 25 separate construc-
tion projects affected in the area
by the strike. No pickets were put
up because the union feels the
strike will become more effective
as soon as other crafts become
bogged down in their normal
course of work. They (other
crafts) will reach a point where
they cannot continue to work un-
til work is done by engineers.
The engineers are the last of
19 AFL crafts of the Beaumont
and Port Arthur Building Trades
Council to negotiate contracts.
Other crafts already have reached
settlements in their talks with
construction firms and officials.
At present operators of heavy
duty equipment are getting $2.75
while operators of lighter equip-
ment draw $2.35 hourly.

Yarborough said a charge he
would let the CIO dominate Texas
farm labor was one of the “most
ridiculous" ever made. “171 work
with the fanners and do nothing
to affect your farm economy,” he
said. .—— - . ,
Shivers has charged that if
Yarborough is elected there will
be a drive to unionize farm and
ranch hands.
Endorsements
Shivers campaign headquarters
announced Wednesday the Gover-
nor has received the endorsement
of 59 state representatives.
At Amarillo Wednesday, State
Sen. Andy Rogers called Shivers*
administration "the most brilliant
record of hyprocrisy and deceit in
the history of Texas.”
Rogers said Shivers Is taking
credit for all improvements In
state government. “The truth is."
Rogers said, “there have been
none. If anything state institutions
have deteriorated.”
At Austin Wednesday night. Joe
Steadham, state legislative repre-
sentative of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainfnen, said Shivers’
blast at the BRT president was
“very much uncalled for.” Shivers
had linked BRT President W. P.
Kennedy of Cleveland. O.. with
“the outside labor bosses who are
determined to have their way in
Texas.” Kennedy had predicted in
a Fort Worth speech Texas will
elect Yarborough.
Yarborough has called Shivers
disloyal for leading Texas' bolt to
Republican Dwight Eisenhower in
the last presidential election.

VFW Will Be Host
To Student* Tonight
All graduates of Stark High
School are invited for a social and
a review of their annual, “Orange
Peel” tonight at 7 at the Veterans
of Foreign Wars Post home near
Rebeck Crossing.
C. E. Spradling said plans were
made to fete the seniors during 0
meeting of the VFW last night. He
was appointed by Comdr. J. T.
Armstreet as a member of the so-
cial committee during a VFW
meeting last night.
Reports were made by A. H.
Craig on veterans affairs and the
post endorsed the proposed rescue
unit of the Orange Volunteer Fire
Department. Individuals were urg-
ed to contribute. Armstreet re-
ported on recent work of the re-
lief committee.

to fill up CuWis School before we
build more facilities. Both Ander-
son and Jones are equally crowded
this year. It looks to me like we’re
goilng to have to shift the line
north of Green avenue to fill
Curtis,”
When Bruce’s proposal was In-
troduced, Supt. C. O. Chandler
reminded that the board had con-
ducted a survey in 1949 to ar-
rive at a solution for its problems
of need for more schools. A recom-
mendation was made at that time
for a new school near MacArthur
Circle. Roselawn addition students
attend Curtis and Anderson
Schools an Anderson is a similar
distance from them as it is to
Pine Grove students, “When the
area was designated for Jones,”
Chandler added, “we anticipated
that We would use six classrooms.
We got eight full and next year We
will have IS,”
With the younger families buy-
ing outlying homes. Anderson
School's enrollment is diminish-
ing. Chandler commented, "We
can take care of 100 more chil-
dren possibly at that school.”
Chandler Cautious
When Smaihall said he favored
the change. Chandler cautioned:
“You start changing lines and you
are going to have a bunch of
headaches as bad as the ones
about taxes.”
Bruce said he realized that the
board has problems in districting
in order to accommodate all stu-
dents and when Chandler added
that, “Eventually, we’ll have to
zone Roselawn” Bruce laughed,
“I’ll go along with you on that—
eventually is here now.”
Chandler questioned, “W h y
can’t we wait until school starts
and get an accurate survey so we
will know what we’re doing?”
Member J. T. Ariedge interposed
with the idea that a committee
should be selected to study the
immediate situations and make
recommenations to the board.
Reminds Board
V. J, Zeto reminded the board
that, "Well have to stop all sales
until the women buying our
houses determine what. schools
their children will attend. That’s
the first thing they ask."
Chandler also commented that
the school district cannot float a
bond issue to enlarge Jones Ele-
mentary if there are empty rooms
at Curtis.
Bruce said to Chandler, “I don’t
see why you’re opposed to the
change.” The superintendent re-
torted, “I’m not opposed.’
Mrs. Benckensteln advised,
"The lines need to be changed but
not overnight.” Chandler’s idea is
to confer with parents and tell
them the need of redUtrictlng be-
fore next September.
Mrs. Benokensteln wanted to
know, “What problems would face
us if we take in the triangle of
land in which the low rent hous-
ing is located and how many chil-
dren would go to Jones?” Chand-
ler said 75 children were involved.
Her suggestion was to allow the
parents and students the choice
this yea# “until one or the other
of the schools is filled.”
Butler commented, “We need to
see the actual registration for this
year before we plan any action
. . . we need longer than two
weeks.” He asked Chandler what
changes would be required for the
temporary arrangement and
Chandler said, “Only shifting of
teachers”
Congress-

around for a while yesterday,
then put it back on the shelf. Bui
the lawmaker have been under in-
tense pressure to vote the pay hlki
before they leave town.
The Senate also has numerous
minor bill* it could‘act on .but
most of these appeared certain to
go down the drain lh the rush of
the weary lawmakers to quit.
Yesterday the Senate completed
action on a whopping $1,859,000,-
000 catch-all money bill.
It also passed and sent back to
the House, - somewhat amended,
one of the antisubversive bills
asked by Eisenhower. It would
strip U. S. nationality from dti-
zens convicted of advocating the
overthrow of the government by
force and violence.
The House, meanwhile, sent to
the President by voice vote a mea-
sure to broaden the unemployment
compensation, program to include
another four million workers,
mostly federal employes and
workers in small firms now ex-
empt. The act would take effect
bee. 31, 1955.

proposals would certainly result
in a negative vote in Parliament.
This could be followed, he argued,
by a crisis in the North Atlantic
community. All this would be a
victory for the Russians, he as-
serted—a victory "which would
cost them nothing ”
A French source, who told of
this version, said “that sounds
O.K.”
Shortly after Mendes - France
spoke, however, Dutch Foreign
Minister J. W. Beyen bluntly said
the French proposals were not ac-
ceptable to his government.
Beyen said that Mendet-
France’s statement this morning
Bad made a "totally different im-
pression” than the text of the pro-
posed changes. The note on the
changes was transmitted through
diplomatic channels last Saturday,
Paul-Henri Spaak, Belgian for-
eign minister and president of the
conference, appeared discouraged
as the group broke up after a
meeting of almost two hours on
genera! aspects of the crisis pro-
voked by Mendcs-France’s pro-
posed changes.
Spaak refused to make any
statement, saying it was too early
to know what might develop, The
ministers planned to continue the
general discussion this afternoon.

Abraham Lincoln, the Republican
party’s first President.
Lincoln once related, Eisenhow-
er said, that a man had built such-
a crooked fence that a hog trying
to get through it became so con-
fused that It concluded it was al-
ways coming out on the wrong
side of the fence.
That story, the President went
on, is “applicable today because
certain politicians, despite the
facts, seem to be coming out on
the wrong side of the economic
fence.”
That was an obvious allusion to
contentions by some Democrats
that the administration was lead-
ing the nation into a depression.
Eisenhower then went on to say
that it seems to him that “the
country is getting pretty sick and
tired of crooked fence politics.”
