TOKYO, July 14— U. S. Superfoils,
nearly 50 strong, made their first big
raid of the war on North Korea yes-
terday and the Pyongyang radio in-
dicated the target was the key coast
port of Wonsan.
A broadcast from the capital of
Communist North Korea said more
than 30" bombers raided Wonsan and
surrounding areas five times. It con-
ceded damage was heavy.
First reports on the Superfort
strike did not give the target beyond
the fact it was north of the 38th par
allel dividing North and South Ko-
rea. Wonsan is 80 miles north of the

The B-29 Superforts in the heav-
iest single air blow of the war un-
loaded 500 tons of bomlts on the tar-
get. This inaugurated mass precis-
ion bombing by two groups of B-29*
rushed here from U. S. Bases.
Australian airmen joined U. 8. pi-
lots in a series of blows aimed both
north and south of the parallel.
There were indications that the air
blows had the Red invader# in trou-
ble in some areas. The Air Force re-
port in the B-29 strike gave few de-
tails.
The planes flew through rain and
mist for the big attack in a railroad
center north of the 38th parullel. The
strike was put into the air in just
eight days hte Air Force headquarters
said, despite the fact that most planes
and personnel had to move eight
thousand miles to stage it.
One of the aireroft commanders
said “this will make Uncle Joe sit
up and take notice.”

HINTON H. PRUETT
FOR
COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENT
Mr. Pruett has been our superintendent almost ten years. He was born in this community. When he came here our
school was in bad shape. The school was heavily in debt. Our whole system was badly disorganized. Community support
was sadly lacking.
Today our debts are paid. Our school is now considered one of the best of its tvpe in the state. The community is
solidly behind the school program. FURTHERMORE THERE HAD NEVER BEEN ANY INCREASE IN LOCAL TAXES
UNTIL THE NEW LAW MADE IT NECESSARY LAST YEAR. This is all due to good management.
Many of us have been working with Mr. Pruett ever since he came here and we are in a position to know him better
than anyone.
He is not only an outstanding school administrator, but a community leader of the highest type. He is never too
busy to give his time and effort to aid the humblest person in his community.
Mr. Pruett is Chapter Father of the Future Homemakers of America and honorary member Future Farmers of
America.
We very earnestly recommend him to you for County Superintendent.

Texas Population
Up Million In
10 Years; 7,500,000
Texas may have gaim-.l mure than
u millioi. |>eu|ilf since 1940.
Pf«|i|>ecta that it ha* climbed above
7.500.000 people looked g >od Thurs-
day.
The apparent clincher waa announ-
cement that Bexar (San Antonio)
County, ha* 490,050 people.
With only populous Harm County
missing, that brings the State’s count
to 6,88.1,230. That's ulreudy well alxive
1940's 0,414.824.
And 0,883.238 is only 010,702 short
of 7,6<K),000.
Harris County— which includes
Houston and its massed suburbs-— is
expected to have more than 010,702.
Also announced Thursday was a
400,811 figure for San Antonio —
much higher thun expected.
The 400,811 figure for San Anton-
io makes the Alamo City the fastest-
growing of Texas' "big four” cities
so far reported.
The census of Houston, Texas’ and
the South's largest city, ha# not been
announced. Dallas, in second place,
climbed from 294,784 to 432,805
a 40.7 per cent gain. Fourth-place
Fort Worth gained 30 per cent, from
177,662 to 277,047.
San Antonio's figure was about
17.000 higher than even census people
had expected.
The figure for the State ns a whole
is, at this time, nn elusive thing.
County figures collected during the
Summer are revised from time to
time, usually upward.
