Bucks Meet Midland
With A Fine Record
SPRINGLIKE WEATHER IS
promised by the weatherman for
the weekend. He did not say any-
thing about the clouds that were
hovering Saturday morning. The
ideal situation in this ease would
be for it to rain like all out
doors here and not rain at Mid-
land.
Temperatures here were 67 high
and 54 low for the past 24 hours,
and total rainfall for the month
was .82.

fidget over a ball game. Try to
write something before a ball game
that will stand up when the paper
conies out after the game is over.
Sent Steve Hess to the game,
account of which will appear in
the American Monday.
Under such circumstances we
wish to call your attention to the
scholastic record of the Brecken-
ridge Buckaroos. A total of eleven
or twelve are on either the A or
B honor roll of Senior High for
the past six weeks, six of them on
the A roll.
This honor roll will be found
elsewhere on this page. Count
them yourself. That should spell
volumes for the boys when given
some thought.

ed a 15-point buck, weight 300
lbs., and judged to dress out at 185
lbs., on the John Robertson ranch,
five miles eaW of Ranger. Kill

j Temple, which has been rated by
newspaper writer polls all the sea-
son as the top team of class AAA.
The Buckaroos entered the game
| favored to win over the Bulldogs
mostly because of comparative
records of the two teams. Breck-
| enridge had scored 332 points dur-
ing the season to their opponents
:!9, while Midland had scored 238
points to their opponents 73, but
i the Buckaroos had defeated Brown-
; wood, that beat Midland 19 to 13,
ar.d had defeated San Angelo by
a score of 4o to (>, while Midland
'beat San Angelo by a score of 21
I to •>. Midland also had a tie game
j of 13 and 13 with Pofy. Brecken-
ridge had one defeat to mar the
record, the 19 to 0 victory by Abi-
i lene.
Win, lose or draw the Buckaroos
under Coach Cooper Robbins have
won five district titles and tied for
a sixth, gone to the quarter finals
two or three times, but never have
gone into the semi-finals.
This year they have been ranked
all season as second to Temple in
("lass AAA. Under the new set up
they faced only three games to
determine the championship.
Their greatest danger as game
time for the first of these drew
near was the wiping out of nearly
all reserves by injury or illness.

Quail Plentiful
In Panhandle As
Season Is Opened
AUSTIN. Tex.. Dec. 1 <UP)—Tex-
as sportsmen opened the annual
quail season today facing pros-
pects of only "average shooting."
Howard Dodgen, executive secre-
tary of the Texas Game and Fish
Commission, said that shooting in
part of the state would be "below
par" because of the prolonged
drouth. However, he described
propsects in the Panhandle as "ex-
cellent."
"There seems to be a tremen-
dous crop" of quail in the Pan-
handle area. The outlook was so
good," he pointed out, "that the
commission . . . increased the daily
and possession liit from 10 and 20
to 12 and 24."
' Dodgen explained that the com-
mission has authority to change
the dates, bag limits and other
provisions of the law in the 28-
eounty Panhandle area under au-
thority granted by the Legislature.
He added that the increase in the
Panhandle quail bag limit confuse
some sportsmen, since the smaller
limits were printed in the game
law digest widely distributed a-
mong hunters.
Hunting dates and limits vary in
some counties, and sportsmen were
cautioned to check the local laws.
The general law sets the daily take
at 12 birds and pegs the possession
limit at 36. The season, for the
state, extends from Dec. 1
through Jan. 16, with shooting al-
lowed from one half hour before
sunrise to one half hour after sun-
set. Shotguns must be permanent-
ly plugged to a limit of three
shells

ASHLAND, O., Dec.l, De-
spondency over Door health was

lisher who drowned himself in

ed himself near Sandusky, O., after
spending a night in a motel 50
miles north of here composing let-
ters to his two sons and a business
partner, the Erie County's Coron-

Arms Conference
Finds Agreement
On Proceedure
By RICHARD WITK1N
United Press Staff Correspondent
PARIS, Dec. 1 —Big Four
delegates began a 10-day effort to
end the east-west arms race today
with a 65-minute meeting which
the chairman said brought a quick
and cordial agreement on proced-
ure.
U. S., British, French and Soviet
representatives emerged from their
conference around a felt-covered
poker table with relighted smiles.
Soviet foreign minister Andrei V.
Vishinsky wore the biggest smile
of all.
United Nations general assem-
bly president Luis Padilla Nervo
of Mexico said the delegates a-
greed completely on procedural
matters. Nervo is serving as chair-
man.
"The atmosphere was so cord-
ial," he said, "that it certainly will
be a good omen if we follow this
spirit during the course of the very
difficult task entrusted to the Big
Four sub-committee."
Nervo said all sessions for the
time being will be closed. He said
the delegates will meet twice a day
and sometimes in the evening
starting Monday, because of the
10-day limit.
The historic conference took
place in Nervo's cramped fifth-
floor office. The scene will be
shifted Monday to a regular UN
committee room, the chunky Mexi-
can diplomat said.
It was the first conference of U.
S., British, French and Russian
delegates under UN auspices since
the Berlin blockade issue was set-
tled in New York two years ago.
Top-ranking "dealer" at the
poker table session was Soviet
foreign minister Andrei Y. Vishin-
sky. He arrived after U. S. dele-
gate Philip Jessup, Britain's Sel-
wvn Lloyd, Fmnces' Julesmoch and
Nervo sat down at the table.
REDS DEMAND TO BUILD AIR
FIELDS IN KOREA REJECTED
By ARNOLD DIBBLE
United Press Staff Correspondent
PANMUNJOM, Korea, Dec. 1
(U.R>—Communist truce negotiators
today demanded the right to build
airfields in Korea during an ar-
mistice.
The United Nations delegation
rejected the demand and disclosed
afterward that it considers the
Communist air force a major threat
to a stable armistice.
However, the allies yielded to
the Communists to the extent of
agreeing that other types of mili-
Winnie Ruth Judd
Back In Asylum
PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 1 <UJ8u-
Trunk murderess Winnie Ruth
Judd was locked up in her room
at the Arizona Hospital for the In-
sane today, convinced that a friend
who inadvertently tipped police to
her whereabouts had "double-cros-
sed me."
The "blonde tiger woman" was
recaptured without u struggle last
night as she walked along a Phoen-
ix street just 16 blocks from the
asylum from which she made good
her fourth escape 24 hours earlier.
She protested that she was
"sick" and said she hated to re-
turn to the institution where she
was sent after her conviction for
murdering two women friends and
shipping their dismembered bodies
to Los Angeles in a trunk.
A burglary complaint from Mrs.
Ellen Evans, a friend of Mrs. Judd,
led to the capture. Mrs. Evans re-
ported a suit coat and a fur coat
had been Stolen from her home.
Officers investigating the report
found Mrs. Judd.
"If I had known Ruth had my
clothes I never would have report-
ed her," said Mrs. Evans, an em-
ploye at the hospital.
Official Penalised
BERLIN, Conn., Dec. 1 <U.R>—
The State Commissioner of Educa-
tion was driving with a limited
operator's license today because he
passed a standing school bus here.
Kiroy Stays Put
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Dec. 1
(U.R)—Kilroy hasn't been anywhere.
Pvt. Edward L. Kilroy of De-
troit, a new recruit, told Lackland
Air Force Base officers he got so
tired of staying home he joised
the Air Force.
tary reconstruction or rehabilita-
tion work might be undertaken
during a truce.
Vice Admiral C. Turner Joy,
chief Un delegate, told the Com-
munists:
"After painstaking and sincere
consideration of all types of mili-
tary facilities and installations, the
full rehabilitation or construction
of which may endanger the secur-
ity of either side, the UN command
delegation concludes that airfields
are the only type requiring re-
striction."
Nam II immediately came out in-
to the open for the First time to
demand the right to construct dur-
ing an armistice the Korean air-
fields that allied raids so far have
prevented him from finishing.
He said "wanton" allied bombing
attacks have wrecked Korean cit-
ies. It is therefore imperative, he
argued, that the Reds, build up
their anti-aircraft defenses.
Joy served notice 'that the UN
has no intention of abandoning its
main demands for an arms freeze
and inspection just to get a quick
armistice. He said the allied would
"continue to insist" on adoption
of their program.
The Reds nevertheless again re-
jected the program and reserved
the right to express their objec-
tions in greater details at the next
meeting at .11 a. m. tomorrow (9
p. m. today EST).
Joy emerged from the confer-
ence tent at Panmunjom at the
end of the session and told news-
men:
"There was absolutely no prog-
ress today."

Dedication Of
Church Draws
200 Attendants
Some 200 people from till over
West Texas attended the Solemn
High Mass and dedication cere-
monies at St. Andrews Episcopal
Church Friday, and reports are
that four earlier masses were
"nicely packed".
Sitting as Pontificate in the 11
o'clock ceremony was the Rt. Rev.
Charles Avery Mason, D. D., Bish-
op of the Diocese of Dallas. Cele-
brant was Suffragan Bishop of
the Dallas Diocese, the Rt. Rev.
G. Francis Burrill, D. D., assisted
by 12 priests of the Episcopal
Qiurch.
Most colorful part of the serv-
ice was the procession of Bishops,
Deans, and Clergy, dressed in
Eucharistic vestments of gold and
white. Rev. William V. Albert, pas-
tor of the church, as well as its de-
signer, was the organist.
Bishop Mason took the text for
his sermon from St. 'Andrew, Fri-
day being St. Andrews Day, and
charged the congregation that the
new church is something more than
a building, 'that it is a Flouse of
God. He commended the parishion-
ers of St. Andrews for the work
they had done in building the
church.
A saddening note was added to
the festivities when Father Albert
announced that Miss Evea Medill,
active member of the church since
its beginning here in 1924, was
critically ill in Stephens Memorial
Hospital, and not expected to live.
Following the dedication cere-
monies, which lasted nearly two
hours, members and guests of the
congregation went to the country
club for a luncheon. About 150
attended.
The new St. Anderws Church
stands out as a milestone in the
history of the Episcopal Church
in Breckenridge.

Narcotics Charge
Incenses Robber
New York, Dec. 1 <U.Ri—When
Meyer M. Treinkman, 50, owner
of a liquor store, reported to police
that a young bandit had robbed
him of $330 on Thursday he said
he thought the thief was a nar-
cotics addict. Newspapers head-
lined his statement.
Last night the same robber re-
turned and said indignantly:
"I might be a stick-up man, but
I'm no dope fiend."
Then he took another $120 from

Shoot Anything
That Moves Now
War Front Order
By WARREN P. FRANKLIN
I'niti il I'ress Staff Correspondent
xth ARMY HEADQUARTER,
Korea, Dec. 1 'U.R'—-United Nations
forces shot down two more Com-
munist jet fighters today and got
orders to hit the Reds on the
ground "ruthlessly."
UN jet fighters sent two more
MIG-15s crashing to earth and
damaged three others to boost
their two-day toll of enemy ail-
craft over northwest Korea to 20—
13 destroyed and seven damaged.
On the ground, grenade-throw-
ing Communist forces drove allied
troops from an advance positfon
on the western front.
However, at least two command-
ing generals issued orders to west-
ern front troops to beef up their
patrols, shoot anything that moves
in no-man's-land and "carry the
fight ruthlessly" to the enemy.
The air war flared again over
the northwest corner of Korea less
than 24 hours after Alnerican Sa-
brejets destroyed seven Red ■bom-
bers and four fighters and dam-
aged three other bombers and an-
other MIG.
None of the allied planes was
lost in combat. However, a Marine
AD-2 was shot down by enemy
ground fire. The pilot was killed.
The latest victories raised the
5th Air Force's bag of Commun-
ist planes to 122 destroyed, 20
probably destroyed and 279 dam-
aged.
An 8th Army Communique re-
ported that the allies gave ground
northwest of Yonchon at 2:20 a.
m. (12:20 p. m. Friday EST) in,
the face of a Communist probing
attack in undetermined strength.
A platoon-sized Red attack
southeast of Kumsong on the cen-
tral front was repulsed without
loss of ground after a three-hour
fight, however.
Only minor patrol skirmishes
were reported from the rest of
the front, but the Communists
were moving fresh troops into po-
sition all across Korea—presum-
ably in preparation for a big of-
fensive if truce talks collapse.
At the same time, the South Ko-
rean government clamped martial
law on the southern half of Korea
to crack down on 8,000 Communist
guerrillas whose increasing raids
posed a threat to the UN rear.
Although fighting was on only
a minor scale at the front, at least
two American commanding gen-
erals put their forces on guard
with fighting speeches.

O'Daniel, whose 1st Corps defends
the western front, ordered his forc-

Minister Used* $490 Worth Of
Flowers Sent For Dog's Funeral
DENVER, Dec. 1 <U.R5—"Pal"
was a pretty big dog in his day—
and it was only fitting that he
should have a $1,000 funeral with
50 of his dog "buddies," a minister,
$400 worth of flowers and a ma-
hogany casket.
Former Denver orchestra con-
ductor Fred Schmidt, figured it
was worth it.
Pal was more than a dog to
Schmidtt. He had been his constant
companion ever since Schmidt won
him in a legal battle 10 years be-
fore. Schmidtt obtained Pal from a
man who was accused of maltreat-
ing the dog. '
Schmitt and his wife are fond
9t animals. Their 40 acre farm
home is a haven for unwanted ani-
mals, and at present houses 50 oth-
er dogs, 75 cats, uncounted pigeons
and four horses. But of all the
dogs, Pal was Schmitt's favorite.
"Goodbye, old pal," he sobbed
beside the dog's mahogany casket.
One of the dozen or more women
mourners comforted Schmitt ,
"He understands, Fred," she
said, "he understands.'9
. The stack of flowers surround-
'nK the handmade casket— some
$400 worth—were inscribed simply
to my pal." Schmitt made the
casket himself.
The mourners trooped past the
casket for a last look at the bi«
dog. In his prime Pal weirin
near 200 pounds. * g*
Several of the mourners stopped
to pat Pal's head.
"My, he looks so natural," one
woman sobbed.

the Mount Calvary Church

It is betng done in respect to a
couple we know and admire.
Good luck to you, oldtimer," he
concluded. '
