to growing appeals among Orange '

AUSTIN (AP)—Gov. Price Dan-

lature to yeti re the deficit and
balance the 1960-61 budget,
The Legislature will return May
18 to try again to do the main
ob on which it has failed since
Tan. 13.
Daniel said he would resubmit
virtually all of his deficit-retiring
and revenue raising plans. He said
he would consider any effective
substitute except a general sales
tax or a state income tax.

The governor said the Legis-
lature could do in 30 days what it
has failed to do in nafoy 120 if
lawmakers are willing to’wbrk day
and night, including Fridays and
Saturday. He said he would work
with them.
Daniel also said he had con-
ferred with Speaker Waggoner
Carr and would meet with Lt. Gov.
Ben Ramsey in the effort to work
out a solution for the fiscal crisis.
It threatens all state services if
not worked out before Sept. 1.
He said he would first of all
submit finances as a topic for
legislation, then other matters
such as traffic safety or law en-
forcement that involved danger to
human life.
Daniel called a news conference
as the regular session of the Legis-
lature neared its final hour Tues-
day at 6 p.m. without passing an
appropriation bill or a tax bill.
Daniel emphasized the grave
situation that would face the state
at the start of the new fiscal year
if such vital services as policing,
hospitals, pensions, and schools
are not given operating funds.

Herter arrived after Gromyko
and Couve de Murville. Ignoring
the question of a summit meeting,
Herter said he hoped the talks
would lead to a lasting peace. The

Selwyn Lloyd, British foreign
secretary, is due Sunday from
Lq*don and willJconfer almost at
once with Hertqr and Couve de
Murville.
“I have comeito Geneva to join
my British andJKrench colleagues

the problem of a divided Ger-

“The United States approaches
these negotiations with a sincere
desire to achieve positive results.
We trust that our deliberations
will pave the way for a final and
overdue settlement which would
serve to reduce international ten-
sion and be a step on the long
road to establishing a jujst Mid
durable peace in Europe.’*'
Couve de Murville said the So-
viet Union had provoked the crisis
over Berlin and added: "The ob-
ject of this conference is to find
a way out of this Berlin crisis
and to prepare the way for a sum-

They hepe to pick up 58 more sig-

After screening signatures last
Bight they found that they have
exactly 200 qualified signers so far,
Harkm Knox, Bancroft Board sec-
retary, said.
Petitions call for an election on
the proposed merger of the two
districts. It would take a simple
majority in each district for the
plan to become a reality, but the

A 107-year-old monAch of the
forest gave way to progress here
last week but will live on as part
of a home that rose nearby 19
years before the tree seedling
pushed its crown through the earth.
A 100-foot-tall pine measuring 3
feet in diameter came crashing
down as workmen cleared land for
the 2U-million-dollar MacArthur
Drive Shopping Center.
There to witness the felling of the
tree for which she had long before
made special plans, was Miss Lilly
Rose Stark, one of the principal
holders in the 34-acre tract of land
sold recently to United Shopping
Centers Inc., of New York.
The tree is being milled into
board, of special widths and lengths
to repair “Pleasant View,” Miss
Stark's 126-year-old home. She ha:
ordered the boards cut in 12-fj
lengths, an inch in thickness- and
wide as possible.
"I wanted the lumped milled In
this manner in order to retain the
original appearance of the home,”
Miss Stark explained.
The “pleasant View” home is
;ted m a box fashion as
many of the early homes of
ie pioneering days. It holds a for-
tune in cypress and pine boards,
sawed and smoothed by hand. Some
of the planks measure up to 18
inches in width are still remark-
ably sturdy and solid despite the
ravages of time.
Flooring of the house, also of
fiand-srhoothed cypress, is 1'^
inches thick. And in tho parlor,
there is a. luxury few homes can
boast—a hand-carved door of solid

Five Die
As Result
Of Storm
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)-Death
swooped out of the cloudy Okla-
homa skies Saturday night, con-
centrating on the little town of
Frisco in south central Oklahoma.
Five persons were killed at Fris-
co as one of at least eight con-
firmed tornadoes which struck the
state ripped through shortly after
dark.
The twisters also struck dam-i
aging blows in the resort laden
Grand Lake area of northeastern
Oklahoma. Property damage was
high but no deaths were report-
id. Roads in the area were clog-
ged with debris and communica-
tions were down.
Hospital officials at Ada, Okla.,
north of Frisco, identified the tor-
nado victims, as: Lucy Box; her
son Tommy, 16, and her daughter
Darlehe, 12; L. Tom Daniels, of
Frisco, and Dewey Higson, 60, of
Frisco.
Mrs. Box and her children were
from Ada and were visiting at
Frisco. The husband and father,
W. A. Box, was among the nine
persons hospitalized a! Ada.
Many of the injured were mo-
torists who haiHfeft the road dur-
ing a blinding rain and hail
storm. They gathered for safety
in a small restaurant about two
miles northeast of Frisco oper-
ated by Henry W. Sullivan.
He said qua'■ter - pound hail-
stones the size of baseballs shred-
ded the cafe roof and caused some
injuries. Minutes later the tornado
funnel roared overhead, causing
further damage and injuries.
The funnel or funnels which
ripped the Grand Lake area,
north of Tulsa, caused two inju-
ries. They are Thomas Wickliffe,
78, and Mrs. Sareh Ruegles. 39,
who were in Wickliffe’s farm

Mild Attack
Of Pneumonia
Hits Dulles
WASHINGTON (AP)-A mild at-
tack of pneumonia has further
weakened the condition of John
Foster Dulles, seriously ill with
cancer.
The 71-year-old former secre-
tary of state suffered the attack
at Walter Reed Army Hospital,
where he has been a patient much
of the time since Feb. 12.
“Secretary Dulles has contract-
ed a mild pneumonia,” the State
Department said Saturday in a
medical bulletin. “The initial re-
sponse to antibiotics has been sat-
isfactory, and his temperature is
now normal.
“He is, however, somewhat
weaker.”
A department press officer, Jo-
seph Reap, said he did not know
when Dulles had contracted the
pneumonia. Since his temperature
was reported back to normal, he
presumably was suffering from it
Friday,- when he had at least
three visitors.
Dulles’ successor, Secretary
Christian A. Herter, dropped by
the hospital to say good-by before
leaving in midafternoon for the
Big Four foreign ministers’ con-
ference in Geneva. Die State De-
partment said then that as Herter
left after their brief talk. Dulles
had called out: 'Good luck,
Chris.”

SARDINE CAN - Pack was
aptly demonstrated by 49 Orange
teen-agers the other night who
wedged their way into one car
to take advantage of family night
at local drive-in theater and the
charge of a dollar per car. It is
considered as a local record to
date but probably won’t stand
very long after this is published.
NEVER AGAIN — Is the word
from E. S. Hryhorchuk of 215
Claxton Cts. who was involved in
a Bridge City wreck early Friday.
What ne meant is that force of
the impact caused him to swal-
low a big cud of chewing tobacco.
He arrived at Orange Memorial
Hospital deathly sick sad finally
made the observation — ‘There’s
only one thing left to do and
that’s change brands.”
