Two Measures To
Be Discussed in
House Sessions
AUSTIN. Anri! « -TIP— The
Vaster vacation ended Mondev fer
Texas’ state senators, althoueh
members of the House won’t report
bark until Ttipsdav.
Two tnr> problems were un before
the 59rd legislature: The biennial
spending bill and a proposal to hike
teachers’ pay.
Two versions of the spending
bill, have been approved bv the
House and Senate, and were before
a conference committee. Sen. Ottls
Lock of Lufkin, chairman of the
Senate Appropriations committee,
said little was accomplished last
week by the conferees, but he was
optimistic about the prospects ad-
justtne differences between the two
bills this week.
Both the upper and lower houses
must approve the joint committee's
work on the bill, which calls for
the expenditure of more than $160
million in the two fiscal years
beginning next Sept. 1.
Teacher Pay Bills
The teacher pay question is be-
fore the House Appropriations com-
mittee, which has three bills to con-
sider at a Tuesday afternoon hear-
ing. The one which most of the
schoolmarms and masters back
calls for a flat $600 pay boost.
Rep. Lamar Zivley of Temple in-
troduced that bill in the House. It
was estimated to cost $35 million
annually. A similar bill received
committee approval in the Senate
but has not been considered on the
floor.
Rep. Joe M. Kilgore’s bill, which
has the approval of Gov. Allan
Shivers beta ise' it would not call
for any new taxes, gives teachers
a 10 per cent increase. The McAl-
len representative wants the mon-
ey to come from local, not state,
sources.
The third bill, by Rep. Floyd
Bradshaw of Weatherford, is a
compromise between the Zivley
and Kilgore bills. Pay increases

BOHLEN NOW ON
PEACE MISSION!
PARIS. April 6 —UP—Charles E.
(Chip) Bohlen, here en route to
Moscow to take up his job as U.S.
Ambassador, aroused speculation
he was on a “peace mission."
French newspapers gave prom-
inent mention to a belief, wide-
spread here, that Bohlen was carry-
ing a personal message from Pres-
ident Eisenhower to Soviet Premier
Georgi M. Malenkov in answer to
recent Communist peace overtures.
The new envoy arrived Sundav
by plane with his wife, two chil-
dren and dog. He said he will go
to Germany Wednesday and spend
a day or two there before proceed-
ing to Moscow.
Bohlen is making his seventh trip
to the Russian capital where he
served as embassy counselor dur-
ing World War II.
He refused to answer reporters’
questions whether he had concrete
proposals to submit to the new So-
viet government.
“Any comment on such subjects
must come from the White House,"

Texan Killed in Crash
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, April 6
—UP— Officials of Elmendorf Air
Force Base said Monday Lt. Hen-
ry Haby, 23, of San Antonio, Tex.,
was one of two men killed last
Thursday when an F-94 jet plane
crashed and burned on Mount Su-
sitna, 25 miles north of Anchorage.
Army, Air Force Balk
At Lashing Manpower
WASHINGTON, April 6 —UP—
The Army and the Air Force are
balking at manpower cuts pro-
posed by Defense Secretary
Charles E. Wilson as an economy
move, it was learned Monday.
Informed sources said the Army
has appealed to Wilson to cancel
a planned slash in its troop
strength, contending it would se-
riously impair the services' com-
bat readiness.
The Air Force has entered a sim-
ilar protest against a Wilson order
to reduce its civilian payroll.
The appeals were the first shots
in the “battle of the budget” which
doubtless will be waged with in-
creasing fury in the Pentagon dur-
ing the next few weeks as the
services resist economy edicts
from the new Republican defense
secretary.
Try to Hold Down Total
It is Wilson’s job under the mili-
tary unification law to pass on the
competing demands of the vari-
ous services for bigger slices of the
defense dollar, and to try to hold
the overall total down to the lowest
figure consistent with U.S. securi-
ty. Conversely, the heads of the
various services have a duty to
fight for the dollars, men and
weapons they consider necessary to
do their jobs.
President Eisenhower made it
clear at his news conference last
Thursday that he intends to have
the final say, and that his decisions
will be based on a careful weigh-
ing of defense needs against the
need for a balanced budget.
Wilson has about completed his
item-^-item review of the $45.5
billion military spending budget
proposed by former President Tru-
man for the 1954 fiscal year begin-
ning July 1. Informants said his
proposed revisions will soon be
submitted to the White House for
approval.
Strict Secrecy Move
Although strict secrecy has sur-
rounded the military budget re-
view, there were indications that
the Republicans have fallen short
of their original goal of cutting it
by about 10 per cent or $4.5 billion.

Girl In Easter Dress Dies As
Heroine In Galveston Tragedy
By UNITED PRESS
Traffic accidents killed 13 of at
least 22 persons who died violent-
ly in Texas during the Easter week-
end.
Four died in a boating accident

One little girl died a heroine.
Eight-year-old Mary Compian of
Galveston was gaily dressed for
Easter and was carrying a basket
of brightly-colored Easter eggs.
She saw an ice truck bearing down
on them. She shoved Hector to

herself and was crushed between
the wheels.
The worst single accident was on
Love Lake near Colfax Saturday.
A speeding motor boat overturned
and four persons drowned. They
were John Ryan Allen, 34, of Dal-
las; his daughter Pamela, 4; his
niece Alice Graham, 6, of Colfax,
and Louis Hallman, 4. Three other
children on the boat were rescued.
Near Beaumont, the burned-out
hulk of a boat was found Saturday.
Aboard the boat when lt went to
test the qualify of Neches River

roy, 45, and Dr. T. N. Halton, 55, of
Texas A&M College, and Elmo
Duanie, 32, employe of the Texas

fice fatality in five days when El-
bert Bonner Jr., 26-year-oid Negro,

Firemen, Policemen Raise
Legislature Up In Senate
AUSTIN, April 6—UP—The Sen-
ate, in a solo session, gave final
approval Monday to legislation
tightening controls regulating grain
warehouses.
Senators amended, readied for
final action and then tossed back on
the shelf legislation dealing with
pay raises for police and firemen.
Sen. Doyle Willis of Fort Worth,
sponsor of the measure, said the
amendment “crippled” his bill.
As proposed by Willis, the bin
would require city governments to
call an election on pay raises for
police and firemen following peti-
Five Are Hurt
In East Highway
Accident Monday
Five persons were injured at
noon Monday in a traffic collision
nine miles east of Sweetwater on
Highway U. S. 80 near the electric
sub-station.
First reports indicated that the
crash occurred when the tire on
one car blew out and caused the
car to swerve into the path of the
other car. Both the car from New
Jersey and a pick-up truck from
Tye were badly damaged.
Mrs. Garwood Lee, 59, of North-
field, N. J., was brought to Sweet-
water Hospital by a Cate-Spencer
ambulance. She was reported suf-
fering from shoulder and chest in-
juries.
Mrs. Kathryn Fuhs, 56, of Mar-
gate, N. J., who was in the Lee
car, was brought to the hospital
in a Patterson ambulance. Extent
of her injuries had not been de-
termined.
Mrs. Domingo O'Con, 27, of Tye,
suffering severe cuts and bruises,
was brought to the hospital in a
Patterson ambulance. Her hus-
band, 28 was also slightly hurt.
Mr. Lee, 61, was slightly hurt.
The three O’Con children, who
were also in the pick-up were re-
ported unhurt.
Highway Patrol Officer Herman
Seale who investigated the acci-
dent said that the Lee car, a 1941
buick, was almost completely de-
molished and the Chevrolet pick-
up was badly damaged. Mr. Lee
and family were going west to vis-
it in Phoenix, Ariz.
tion by 25 per cent of the voters
participating in the last municipal
election.
Sen. Warren McDonald of Tyler
amended the measure to require
the petition be signed by 25 per
cent of the qualified voters of the
town.
He said towns like Tyler, Vernon,
Wichita Falls, Marshall and Long-
view would be subjected to the
•- of these elections.
Willis objected on grounds Harris
county has "100,000 qualified vo-
ters.” He protested that under Mc-
Donald’s amendment, firemen and
policemen would face the "almost
impossible” task of getting 25,000
signatures on a petition before the
election need be called.
McDonald admitted getting these
signatures “might take a little
time.”
But he said this was a good
thing. “Otherwise, they could call
an election without anybody know-
ing it,” he said.
Rogers’ grain warehouse bill af-
fects only those warehouses in Tex-
as not now covered by the federal
warehousing act. Violation of the
law provides for fines up to $5,000
and imprisonment up to five years.

Marines Beal Reds
In Bitter Fighting
On No Man's Land
SEOUL, April 6 —UP—American
Marines battled with 200 Chinese
early Monday in no-man’s-land
close to the Panmunjom truce site,
killing or wounding 63 Reds in a
brief but bitter clash.
The western front battle took
place only a few hours before
United Nations and Communist ne-
gotiators met at Panmunjom to
discuss exchanging sick and
wounded prisoners of war.
A Marine combat patrol prowl-
ing through no-man’s-land within
one mile of the truce village ran
into a re-inforced enemy company
before dawn. Bitter fighting im-
mediately erupted.
The Leathernecks used rockets,
tank fire, artillery, mortars, ma-
chineguns and grenades. The Reds
replied with 76 and 120-millimeter
mortars.
Despite the enemy shelling, the
Marines stood firm and refused
to give an inch.
One hour and 30 minutes later,
the Chinese pulled out of the fight
after suffering 63 casualties, more
than half of them killed.
lt was the bitterest battle in
the western sector in two days.
Just to the northeast, Chinese
raiders drove onto a Marine out-
pbst called “Teddy,” hurled hand
grenades for 15 minutes, then with-
drew without piercing Allied de-
fenses.
Action picked up considerably
along the rest of the front after a
relatively quiet Easter Sunday.
The Reds started six fights Sun-
day night and early Monday, but
the Allies touched off 19 clashes.

SPRING STORM
Reds Inject
Angles That
May Be Joker
PANMUNJOM. April 6—UP—
The Communists opened a new
field of discussion Mondav in the
talks on exchanging sick and
wounded prisoners of war.
The first thought of observers
j was that the negotiations may
spread out over a far longer pe-
| riod of time than was originally
j intended.
j The Reds tossed what might be
i a joker into the first day’s con-
| ference, bringing up Article 110 of
j the Geneva Convention
This article deals with prisoners
: not seriously ill or wounded, but
! whose recovery is expected within
one year from the date they be-
came sick and whose recovery
would be speeded by treatment in
a neutral country.
The article goes into more de-
tail, but basically, it lays open
these possibilities:

Lyndon Johnson Warns
On Relaxing Defenses
WASHINGTON. April 3 — tUI —
Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon
B. Johnson warned Sunday against

of recent Russian peace moves.

Atomic Blast In
Nevada Desert
LAS VEGAS, Nev., April 6—UP—
The 15th atomic explosion inside
the U. S. rocked the southern Ne-
vada desert Monday and two pilot-
less jet planes prepared to fly
through the deadly radio-active
cloud with “crews” of monkeys and
mice.
The telltale flash of the explo-
sion was seen here at 9:31 a.m. cst
and appeared extremely bright. It
was the fourth shot of the present
spring test series at the A-bomb
proving ground 65 miles northwest
of here.
Although the Atomic Energy
Commission did not give the de-
tails immediately, it was believed
Monday’s test involved an atomic
device dropped from the air. Pre-
vious tests in the current series
had been from atop 300-foot towers.
jor change in long-range prepared-
ness plans to save money and
speed production of certajn types
of weapons.
Informed sources said the new
Wilson plan is to shift away from
the concept of a broad mobiliza-
tion base for possible future use
and concentrate instead on meet-
ing current arms and equipment
needs. This would mark a big
change in the Truman administra-
tion’s defense program.
Says Mistakes Costly
Johnson, former chairman of the
Senate Preparedness subcommit-
tee, voiced his warning in a ween-
ly broadcast prepared for radio
stations in his home state of Texas.
“We must make certain that we
do not let these most recent Com-
munist moves cause us to fold up
our military strength, ’ he said.
“We have made that mistake in
the past—not the far distant past
either. We are suffering today from
the effects of that error. Let us
make sure we do not repeat it ”
n 1950, Louis Johnson was forced
to resign as defense secretary
amid charges that his “economiz-
ing” in the military left U. S.
armed forces too weak to meet
the Communist attack in Korea.
Johnson's critics claimed that in-
stead of “trimming off the fat”
from defense spending, his eco-
nomic drive cut too deeply into the
