Washington, July 2—President

forces are “ in a good position”
in Korea.
House Speaker Sam Rayburn
said Mr. Truman1 made that com-

leaders. He said the President re-

Rains Measuring
Nearly 2 Inches
Fall in County
Rains measuring nearly two
inches fell in Sulphur Springs Sun-
day and Monday.
Total rainfall during the two-
day period was 1.05 inches, ac-
cording to records kept by the
Carnation Company plant here.
The Monday rain amounted to
mor# than an inch and one-half.
The heavy rainfall w*s not
needed at this time, and is due
to increase the insect infestation
in cotton, according to County
Agent Brooks Emmons.
Helped, however, will be the
pastiuw af the county, Emmons
said.
Thousands of others, who ordi-
narily leave their, automobiles at
home, drove • to their offices. To
accommodate the extra cars pour-
ing into the downtown area, park-
ing was permitted on some sec-
tions of idle street car tracks and
restrictions were lifted in many
no-parking zones.
Although the strike got under
way Sunday, the full impact was
not felt until today—a work day.
Street cars and buses of the strike
bound Capital Transit Company
ordinarily carry about 260,000
passengers — mostly government
workers—on working days.
Striking operators and mechan-
ics are demanding a 30-cent hour-
ly pay boost and other conces-
sions. Operators now receive about
$1.56 and mechanics $1.68 hourly.
Bus lines serving nearby areas
of Virginia and Maryland continu-
ed to operate. Taxicab companies
put 10,000 cabs on the street to
ease the tieup.
Many workers “thumbed” rides
in the priyate automobiles- that
streamed into the downtown and
government building areas, jam-
ming traffic during the morning
rush hour.

Washington, July 2 — The De-

today reported evidence of a shift
of industry from coasts and popu-
lous centers to less industrialized
areas of the mountain states,
south and southwest.
The trend showed up in an
analysis of tnore than seven bil-
lion dollars in tax benefits grant-
ed to stimulate defense plant ex-
pansions over the country. About
half the aid went, to industry in
those areas, despite their histor-
ically smaller share of the na-

Armistice Talks
May Take Long
Time in Korea
(By Attoc<tttd Prtm)
Taipeh, Formosa, July 2—Chi-
nese Nationalist officials predict-
ed today that armistice talks in
Korea would be drawn out over a
long period.
They said they believe one rea-
son the Reds asked for a lapse of
ten days before the start of talks
was the necessity of consulting
Moscow on details.
Officials who hold those views
do not want to be named for fear
of complicating the issue and
treading on the toes of friendly
countries, particularly the United
States.
One official said he thought
armistire talks would take a long
time because:
“One day the Reds will agree
to something, then next day change
their minds.”
Nationalist military sources
said they had no indication that
the movement of Chinese Commu-
nist replacements from Manchuria
to Korea had been halted.
Their last information was that
fresh troops were moving to Ko-
rea from ail parts of China be-
cause of heavy Communist casual-
ties.

radios also are urging their sol-
diers to fight on and their pro-

, General Matthew Rldgway has
not yet indicated hi* reaction to
the Red acceptance of his pro-
posal for cease-fire talks. How
ever, it is presumed that the Com-
munists will be granted their wish
for a meeting in the Kaesong area
between July 10 and 15th. Ridg-
way had proposed an earlier *e*»

in the harbor at Wonsan.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff have
exchanged messages with General
Ridgway.
And while the top military lead-
ers were conferring at long range,
Defense Secretary Marshall testi-
fied for Europe. He told House
members there will be no rush to
bring American troops home from
the Fast East — if a cease-fire is
worked out.
Meanwhile, the fighting goes or.

news of an armistice. The heaviest

Lamesa, July 2—More destruc-

country in upper Texas while a
July heat wave grips the lower
half of'the state. ’
The worst storms were at Key
—ten miles east of Lamesa—and
at Olton—about 25 miles west of
Plainview. But despite the viol-
ence of the storms, no dead or
injured have been reported.
Key was struck by a tornado
last night—the twisting winds de-
stroying a garage, cotton gin and
welding shop. The storm at Olton
occurred about 2:30 this morning.

of rain falling in twenty minutes

Two German generals who fought
in World War II have been mvRed

The generals will be among
some 60 high German officials who

The invitation to the ft
generals came amid mounting

Borne newspapers claimed that
McCloy, who is returning to
