Rndessa fault from Jefferson thru
Harleton and to Longview ha* gain,

trance of the Gulf Oil Corporation
into the Longview-Harleton section.
Gulf hat had a shooting crew In
the area several days. Representa-
tives of Gulf were reported to have
offered $30,000 in cash on * condi-
tional lease contract for a block of
about 6,000 acres laying in Little
Cypress Creek bottom, 12 miles
northeast of Longview.
From a reliable source, it wa*
learned that Gulf offered the Busch
interests of 9t. Louis, Mo., $1 an
acre for the right to explore their
I fi,000-acre holdings in the area with
1 geophysical equipment. This offer
|was refused, It was said.
Gulf then offered $3.50 an sere
I for an outright lease on the land, it
[was said. When this offer was also
(refused, Gulf offered to pay $1.50
acre for the right to “shoot" on
|the holding*, with an option to lease
»t $3.50 an acre if any favorabfo
[showing was found by geophysical
(exploration. This offer, too, was
I turned down.
Gulf then obtained permission from
I landowner* adjacent to the Bauch
(holdings. It waa amid. The (hooting
I crews set up their equipment as close
(to the Busch land lines as possible.
The geophysical work is still under
[way. It waa reported Gulf has op-
Jtion* on some acreage m the area
(between Longview and Harleton. and
[that a number of other large com-
|panics, including Arkansas Fuel Oil
| Co , are taking acreage In the area.
Othr companies have shot the are*

inary line between Longview and

Mr. Jesse C. Carter, a represen-
tative of the Dallas office of the So-
cial Security Board, will addreaa a
mass meeting of employers in the
District Court room tonight at 7:30,
for the purpose of informing busi-
ness men and employ*** of their
benefits and responsibilities under
the Social Security Act.
Mr. Carter will spend the day visit-
ing with employers, assisting them to
set up the proper records required,
answering questions, and aiding them
in any way possible. “There is much
confusion regarding the Act and it
is my purpose to clear up as many
points as possible,” Mr. Carter said.
“We are especially urging every
employee, no matter how large or
small his employer, to get an account
number. The Post Office here is
still taking applications for account
numbers, and while it is still so con-
venient to do so, every employee
should take advantage of the oppor-
tunity. If he waits much longer it
will be necessary to write the near-
' office of the Social Security
^ Board, and we want to save the em-
ployee that inconvenience.’’
Mr. Carter also says there are
now some 4,000 persons in Texas al-
ready eligible for lump-sum pay-
ments, but who probably do not know
it, since they are not applying for
them. "Any person,” he says, "who
has worked since January 1 in cov-
ered employment and who has be-
come 65 year* of age is now entitled
to a lump-sum payment of 3H per
cent of the wage* he has received
since December 31 and prior to hia
65th birthday. Also estates of eli-
gible deceased workers are entitled
to death payment*". Mr. Carter has
claims forms and will be glad to ad-
vise all interested persons how to
file claims for lump-sum benefits to
which they may be entitled.
After the meeting Mr. Carter will
invite and answer questions from
person* in the audience.

TEXAS EMPLOYMENT
SHOWS INCREASE
DURING MARCH
SEVERITY OF DUST
STORM DESCRIBED
BY SECY. WALLACE
Washington. —Secretary Wallace
said Tuesday recent dust storms in
the: Southwest had been “blowing
the heart out of the soil of tha dust
bowl.”
In a farm hour radio broadcast,
the department of agricultural chief
declared federal soil experts recent-
ly had analysed the dust and dirt
carried hundreds of miles by "black
blizzards" this year and found that
“the cream of the soil i» blown away
—the skim mild left behind.
The cabinet member said dust
storms this year had deposited 200
pounds of dust an acre on top of
snow on farms in Southwestern
Iowa. The dust was blown from
Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas.
Tests showed eroded fields con-
tained "only one third as much or-
ganic matter” as virgin soil in the
dust bowl, while the “fine dust car-
ried to Iowa contains three times as
much as the original soil.”
Wallace said any benefit Iowa
might have received from the dust
deposits was "so slight that ft i*
counterbalanced a thousand times
over by damage done in the South-
west.”
Aboard Roosevelt Train, En Route
to New Orleans, April 28. — Main-
taining schedule despite a five-hour
delay in starting from Washington,
the eight-car special train carrying
President Roosevelt on his Gulf
Coast fishing vacation headed across
Georgia and Alabama tonight for it*
first atop at Biloxi, Miss,
White House aids explained th#
6 a. m. departure from the national
capital instead of 1 a. m. as first
planned waa due to a desire to avoid
a five-hour layover on some siding
on (he way which the alow schedule
culled for. The switch in arrange-
ments, they said, caused no inter-
ruption in schedules and also af-
forded the President more oppor-
tunity to rest.
A warm sun, contrasting sharply
with the three days of constant rain
in Washington, greeted the presi-
dential special as it aped by the pine
and blossoming dogwood bordered
right-of-way in Southern Virginia.
But the day turned cloudy and
cool as it crossed the Carolina* and
headed for Atlanta for an operating
stop.
looking out of his private car
window at th* raar of the train,
Roosevelt saw a green countryside
drying barns
pro' and storage houses, fruit tree* well
into the blossoming stags, and roll-
ing wooded hills.
At Biloxi tomorrow morning he
will detrain and motor along the
Gulf Coast about 12 miles to Gulf-
port, viewing en route the former
home of Jefferson Davis, President
of the Confederacy.
Senator Harrison, Mississippi, and
George E. Allen, native Misslssip-
pinn now on the board of commis-
sioner* of the District of Columbia,
who were riding on the special, will
leave the party at Gulfport.
The President is due to embark
the U. S. 8. Potomac late to-
morrow at New Orleans and then,
with a destroyer escort, go down

“The scenes through which the

M “When the peerease* enter the Ab-

“When the Queen is crowned by
the Archbishop of Canterbury, beau-
tiful white arms aka uplifted a* each
peeress puts on coronet, and there
ia not much room for maneuvering.
When coronets "ware first designed,
hairdressing was quite another mat-

could be affixed, but alas, shingled
heads are far from suitable.”

He said the "dilatory effort” on
