For Employment
Sweetwater vicinity has about 350
persons looking for work at this
time, providing a good and fairly
well balanced labor supply, the
Texas Employment Commission re-
ported last week.
There are a few shortages such
as engineers, staff nurses, train-
ees, commission salesmen, casual
labor, yard men, etc. A general
rain would quickly clear up the
employment situation, it is believ-
ed. ■*
Claims for unemployment have
continued to rise since August but
now have apparently reached the
peak and are leveling off. New
claims dropped back from 75 to 80
a monlh to only 65 last month. ,lob
placements here in March were
only 75.

Two Enlisted Men
Almost Bought Way
Out of U. S. Army
FORT SILL, Okla., April 6 -
UP—Two Fort Sill enlisted men
said Saturday they nearly bought
their way out of the U.S. Army,
but Congress threw them a last
minute ringer.
Cpl. George C. Noonan Jr., San-
ta Barbara, Calif., and Pfe. Hugh
Lucas, Dallas, said they tried un-
successfully to use an 1890 law that
permits a man to leave the Army
if he buys his uniform.
The law was suspended in 1940
by President Roosevelt until April
1, 1953.
Corporal Noonan said he watched
the newspapers closely on April 1
to see if Congress passed legisla-
tion extending the law, lie couldn't
find it anywhere.
“So 1 put in my application," he
said. "My commanding officer
phoned and wanted to know the
score. I told him about the law,
and lie said he would forward it
on.”
Then The Blow
Then came the blow. Noonan and
Lucas, who had also made appli-
cation. were informed that the law-
had been passed on March 31 by
Congress extending the suspension
until July 1.
"It was just an outside chance,”
explained Lucas, “and we figured
it was worth a try.”
Noonan said he believes he did
the government some good by call-
ing attention to the old law.
Could Be More Valuable
"1 believe I will be more val-
uable to my country when I finish
my college education,” said Noo-
nan in explaining why he wanted
out of service.
Lucas, who is 23, is a clerk-
typist in the same office with
Noonan.
The two men didn’t know just
how much it would have cost the
to pay their way hack to civilian
life, but Noonan said "it would be
about $100 if they do it like they
used to.”
The law was passed in 1890 and
is known as the "discharge pur-
chase law." It provided that, ex-
cept during war, a man could get
out of the Army by paying the
price of his uniform.
Caddo production in the White
Flat (multipay) field east of here
was extended a half mile south-
west with completion of A. G. Hill
No. 1 W. W. McElmurray for a
calculated dally flowing potential
of 1,301.8 barrels of oil, later re-
ports Indicate.
Gas-oil ration was 930-1. Poten-
tial was based on an actual six-
hour flow of 324.5 barrels of oil.
Production was through a half-
inch choke from perforations be-
tween 5,600-644 feet. Location is

Iko Lunches For
Congressmen Are
Producing Results
WASHINGTON. April 6 — UP—
President Eisenhower feels his
lunches and breakfasts for Con-
gressmen are adding to his friends
on Canitol Hill, a White House aide
said Friday.
Congressional response lias been
“generally satisfactory,” an aide
added.
The program of having every
member of the House and Senate
at the White House is nearly com-
plete and many of the congress-
men guests — Democrats as well
as Republicans — have written
letters of appreciation for what
they termed a "very nice gesture.”
They said they enjoyed the
meals, the man-to-man social talk,
and Mr. Eisenhower’s "informal
and friendly” manner. The aide
reported the President also has en-
joyed the informal get-togethers.
Strictly Social Affairs
There never was any intention
or attempt to influence the con-
gressmen guests on legislation, ac-
cording to the aide. The affairs
were strictly social, except for a
few occasions when one of the con-
gressmen brought up a problem.
So far, 420 House members and
89 senators have been dined—but
not wined—by President Eisenhow-
er in groups of about 20 each. Still
left, are 16 House members and
seven senators.
Presidential assistant Sherman
Adams and Maj. Gen. Wilton B.
Persons, special assistant for leg-
islative liaison, helped the Presi-
dent entertain. The meals started
with a lunch for 17 Republican
senators Feb. 26.
All of the means were lunches
except two breakfasts held recent-
ly in an attempt to finish the pro-
gram before Easier. This goal was
abandoned because some of the re-
maining congressmen had made
pre-Easter commitments.
Morse Still Uninvited
Many House members and sen-
ators of both parties never had
eaten in the While House. Presi-
dent Eisenhower personally con-
ducted his guests on a White House
tour after dining. The tour included
the President's personal quarters
on the second floor and sometimes
the atomic bomb shelter in the
basement — both of which are off
limits for ordinary tourists.
The affairs ended with the con-
gressmen posing for a group pic-
ture with President Eisenhower on
the steps of the White House north
portico.
Among the remaining senators
to he asked is Sen. Wayne Morse
(Ind-Ore.) who bolted the Repub-
lican Party to oppose Mr. Eisen-
hower's election. He would not tell
a reporter in advance whether he
would accept.

Union Official Is
Put Under Indictment
FORT SILL, Okla., April 6 —
Trevis B. Schooler a union official,
was indicted by a federal grand
Jery in Cincinnati Friday on
charges of making false statements
about his Communist connections.
The two - count indictment
charged that Schooler, an official
of the International Fur and Leath-
er Workers Union, Ind.i, made
a “false and fraudulent" statement
to the FBI when he denied he was
ever a Communist party member
or had attended a Communist meet
ing.
The FBI’s investigation of School-
er stemmed from his filing of a
non-Communist affidavit under the
Taft Hartley act. The Indictment
said that the alleged false state-
ment was made in a signed state-
ment on Jan. 5, 1952.
Schooler faces a maximum $10,-
000 fine and five years in prison
for each count if convicted.

LEAVES ARMY LIFE
CAMP RUCKER. Ala. UP—Sev-
en weeks of army life was enough
for 13-year-old Pvt. Raymond E.
Haler, who decided he would rath-
er go to school.
The Akron, Ohio, youth confess-
ed to army authorities here that
he was not really 18, as he said

army promptly ordered him dis-

"I didn't like school so I joined
the army,” Raymond explained.
“Now I have decided that school
is much better for me so 1 am go-
ing home.”
