Rad Cross Radios
To Aid Honoloss In
Waco Storm Area
The Red Cross rallied round quickly
to help 84 bewildered Negro men,
women, and children made homeless
by a windstorm that destroyed or da-
maged 28 houses Friday night at Car-
ver Park in East Waco.
Food and shelter were arranged
for them, first aid offered to those in
need of it, and a fast survey waa male
of the damage.
The Red Cross worked up a com-
plete list of damaged houses and
homeless people, and set up a field
commissary where hot coffee, milk,
sandwiches, fruit and doughnuts were
served.
The work of the relief agency was
handicapped early Saturday morn-
ing by lack of people in authority;
policemen were a big help, but they
were busy with traffic on the muddy
streets and with similar work. By 10
a. m. however, City Manager R. C.
Hoppe joined Red Cross Secretary
Paul Darwin and went around with
him inspecting the damage.
Lodging was arranged for such fa-
milies as needed it. Most of them were
with relatives, but two families, 1-
persons in all, wanted places to stay,
and it was arranged for them to take
quarters in a dormitory at Paul Quinn
College.
Red Cross Secretary Darwin head-
ed a relief crew that reached the
scene early Saturday morning, as
soon as police advised Darwin of the
event.
They tallied the loss, found 28 hou-
ses damaged, 16 of which were de-
stroyed. All the destroyed houses
were pre-fabricated plywood, set up
by the Federated Construction Co.
Regular construction frame houses,
set up by the Federal Building and
Sales Co. just across the street from
the devastated area, were not blown
down, although they were damaged
by flying debris from the pre-fabri-
cated houses, Darwin said.
Texas Colton Incomo
The National Cotton Council esti-
mated that cotton meant approxi-
mately $0,220,700 in cash income to
Texas farmers each working day of
the 1950 growing season.
Value of Texas grown cotton acco-
unted for 29.6 per cent of the total
for the 14 major States. Texas pro-
duced 2,900,000 bales last year on
6 700,000 acres, bringing an average
value per acre of $102.13, cotton coun-
cil figures showed.
The council placed the overall val-
ue of Texas cotton lint and seed at
approximately $684,275,000.
It’s kinda tough going nowadays
when we have to do without so many
things that our parents never had.
Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Boedeker and
daughters of Houston were visitors
in Cameron over the week end.
Army Oats Draft Quota
For May Call to 40,000
Army Wednesday cut its May draft
quota from 60,000 to *40,000 men and
announced that all enlisted reserves
called from the inactive list for Ko-
rean service will be released by Dec.
31.
Military authorities said the slash
in the draft call was made possible by
an upsurge in enlistments and the
fighting.”
Allies Forced To
Withdraw On Front
(From The Daily)
TOKYO, Monday, April 23— Com-
munist forces opened their long anti-
cipated Spring offensive Sunday night
under the heaviest enemy artillery
barrage of the war and drove United
Nations troops back almost every-
where along a 95-mile front today.
The Chinese drove a 1,000 to 2,000
man force into a break in the U. N.
lines on the west central front in the
first 12 hours of the all-out attack.
In other places along the front,
stretching from Kaesong in the west
to Inje in the east, the Allied line re-
coiled varying distances.
The attack came under the bright
glow of a full moon Sunday night.
Smashing forward recklessly, the
Reds exposed themselves to wither-
ing Allied artillery and small arms
fire and heavy air attacks. They took
heavy losses on the west central front
where they poured troops in division
strength into the assault and scored
their gains “by sheer weight of num-
bers.”
Allied officers admitted today the
situation was "serious.”

ietrations into Allied lines was not les H. Winerich Jr., after his perma-

the Reds crossed the Imjin River on
a 15-mile front.
The first Red attack on that front
Sunday night was thrown back by
counterattacking Allied troops who
regained ground lost to the initial
onslaught. However, the Reds attack-
ed again to drive the allies back once
more.
Farther west, below Chorwon, two
enemy divisions attacked, forcing two
Allied units to pull their lines back.
The Allies gave up a key hill at one
point and fanatical Reds were report-
ed moving across it later in cilumns
of twos, never breaking ranks even
under the tremendous, weight of U>4-
ted Nations artillery which fired all
night.
