Buna Firemen Win Pumper Race
In Contest at Central Station Here
A six-man team from Buna,
with a time of 23.1 seconds, elimi-
nated five other contenders to
win a 22-inch first-place trophy
and possession of the Gentry Par-
rish Award in plumper races yes-

The pumper races, on Elm
street adjacent to the downtown

Ex-Wife Held
After Knifing
Junius Johnson, 43, of 1401 6th
Sf., Orange, remained in critical
condition today in a Beaumont
hospital of stab wounds in the
heart and right arm which he sus-
tained yesterday about 2 p.m. at
the home of his former wife, Ar-
chie Bee Johnson, 35, of 1312-B
4th St.
The ex-wife today is out on
$1,000 bond and facing an investi-
gation by the Orange County
grand jury, on May 29. She is
charged with assault with intent
to murder and pleaded not guilty
yesterday before Justice of the
Peace Emmie K. Fountain. The
weapon used was a pocket knife.'
City Police Capt. Alton Williams
arrested the woman yesterday
about 2:30 p.m. at Orange City
Hospital where her former hus-
band received treatment until last
night when he was transferred to
Beaumont for the attentions of a
chest specialist.
The woman told officers that
Johnson had “come into my house
with a gun on me and I was just
t
vorce from him and tbld him “not
° to come around.” The pocket knife
used had been in her purse, she
added.
The knife entered the body cav-
ity and is thought to have nicked
blood -vessels, causing internal
hemorrhages. Ji '

mated 200 delegates and women
auxiliary members from a num-
ber of Southwest Texas volun-
teer fire departments. The Orange
volunteers acted as the host
group.*- .
Trophies also went to second
and third-place winners, Kirby-
ville with 24.3 seconds, and Jas-
per, 25 seconds. Other teams en-
tered included Kountze, Sour
pike and Newton.
The Buna team, captained by
Joe Ferrell, consisted of John
Henry Williamson, Don Travis,
Billie Tom Richardson, Jim Har-
din and Milton Coyle. It marked
the second time they have won
this pumper competition in the
four years they have been in the
association.
Competition was keen between
this group and the Kirbyville
team which has won in previous
years. The Gentry Parrish tro-
phy, established by the local vol-
unteers in memory of the Orange
fireman killed in a jeep accident
en route to a fire, also went to
Buna. Permanent possession

were held to determine the speed
with which each team could lay
out 100 feet of hose, hook up to
a hydrant and knock down a 15-

Earlier in the day, a program
was held at the Veterans of For-

More Than Billion Dollars
Cut From Foreign Aijd Plan
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
House Foreign Affairs Com-
mittee, voted today to slash
more than a billion dollars out of
President Eisenhower's $4,900,-
000,000 foreign aid program.
Chairman Richards (D-SC)
said the committee voted 18-11 in
closed session to cut a billion
dollars from the three billions
Eisenhower sought for new mili-
tary assistance abroad next year.

This, plus another 109-million-
dollar reduction approved out of
the economic aid request, would
take a total of $1,109,000,000 out
of the program to bolster other
countries against communisib.
The House group acted in the
face of continued administration
insistence that any substantial cut
would endanger the eecurity of
the UnitedStates.

Senate Finance Committee today
approved $14,400,000,000 in new
taxes over a 16-year period to
help pay for a vest roadbuilding
program, and softened the tax
impact on truckers.
ly a oqe-vote margin, the com-
mittee also adopted an amend-
ment proposed by Secretary of the
Treasury Humphrey which could
have the effect of slowing down
the rate of construction.
This amendment would limit
the spending on highways to the
money available in any given
year.
For the most part, thg commit-
tee accepted the new taxes voted
by the House to finance the high-
way construction plan, largest in
the nation’s history. But it consid-
erably modified one levy to which
trucking firms had violently ob-
jected.
As passed by the House, this
provision levied an annual tax of
$1.50 per 1,000 pounds on trucks
weighing 26,000 pounds or more.
The Senate Committee voted to
make the rate $2.50 per 1,000
pounds but to apply it only to the
excess over 26,000 pounds.
The House provision would raise
about 866 million dollars over
16-year period. The Senate ver-
sion would bring about 476 mil
lion. t
The effect of the change would
be to cut off about 400 mtm«n in
revenue.
The committee passed on all
tax items in the house bill, but did
not complete action on the meas-
ure. Administrative provisions re-

Other operating Rems on the
agenda include the establishment
of room rates, a set of personnel
policies which cover sick leave,
vacations, military leaves and
holidays, and definition the
administrator's authority to make
purchases and hire employes.
Taylor dlso is expected to read
letters from several insurance
companies in answer to queries to
determine whether or not 'they
would expedite claims, particular-
ly during’the initial opening per-
iod when operating funds will be
at a minimum. This was one of
the suggestions advanced by
James F. Houlihan, former coun-
ty auditor, who resigned earlier
this year.
The insurance companies were
asked by Taylor to expedite the
processing of bills tor medical and
hospital services rendered. Ac-
cording to t the administrator, he
was assured that all of the com-
panies will use the utmost dis-
patch and speed in processing
claims submitted by the county-
hospital.
Another key item will be a dis-
cussion on the deannexation of the
hospital from the City of Pine-
hurst and acceptance of only this
11-acre tract by Jthe City of Or-
ange. The move will be discussed
solely in the light of municipal
services and insurance rates,
which will be lower if the institu-
tion is within the Orange city
limits.
Pinehurst officials have indi-
cated this deannexation would be
acceptable to them provided an
official request is made. The atti
tude of Orane officials has not
yet been determined.
Other business will consist of an
appointment of a committee to
coordinate the transfer of Orange
City Hospital equipment to the
Orange Memorial Hospital. Man-
agers also will approve accounts

Figure Based
On Experience
Of Other Areas
Administrators of two Texas
hospitals have estimated that a
minimum of $100,000 would be
essential to open the 165-bed Or-
ange Memorial Hospital and a
thkd believed that *150,000 is a
more realistic .figure.
Those replying to a question-
naire sent 'out by Administrator
Joe Taylor are George B. Pearson,
administrator of the 130-bed Ty-
ler Medical Center; Earl Benson,
administrator of the 60-bed Odes-
sa Medical Center Hospital, and
Guy H. Dalrymple, administrator
of the Baptist Hospital at Beau-
mont.
Queries yere sent out to six
different Hospitals of comparable
size in Texas. Replies ggre re*
ceived from four and one was not
applicable.
One of the most pertinent an-
swers came from Dalrymple, who
noted, "Prior to openirtg to re-
ceive its first patient, the hospital
had in, addition to the administra-
tor, whq was put on the payroll
on July 1, 1949, the assistant ad-
ministrator and business manager
who reported Aug. 15, 1949, an
administrative secretary and eight
department heads on the payroll
two to three months prior to the
hospital receiving its first patient.
Salaries alone for this personnel
amounted to between $18,000 and
$20,000.”
Baptist Hospital was partially
put into operation on Oct, 15,
1949, by opening the obstetrics
floor, delivery room and labor
rooms and receiving only matern-
ity patients. All supporting de
pertinents were put into opera-

Dalrymple continued, “Exclud-
ing all equipment for which funds
had been set aside in the build-
ing budget, there were linens
which had to be purchased to put
the hospital into operation costing
$7,084.76. Other supplies such as

Both House-passed bills are ex-

The committee is working only
on the tax provisons of the high-

by the House to help pay for the

the nation’s history, are calculated
to raise about $14,800,000,000 over
