WASHINGTON', Dec. 1 'U.Ri—
Agriculture Department officials
Tuesday blamed seasonally heavy
marketings for some crops for the
fourth consecutive monthly drop in
farm prices.
But they pointed out that lower
prices for hogs, cotton and eggs-
normal for this season of the year
—were almost offset by price gains
for other commodities.

Two Are Killed in
Crash At Houston
HOUSTON, Tex., Dec. 1 <U.Ri—
Two out-of-state men were killed
Monday night when their car and
truck collided on a bridge on U. S
90 west of here.
Deputy Sheriff Darrel Homaker,
of Huntington, W. Va., who was in
Houston to pick up a prisoner, was
killed when a truck driven by Wil-
liam D. Cleveland, 662, Portales,
N. M., struck his car. Cleveland
walked from the truck after the
accident, but was so groggy he
stepped off the bridge and fell 40
feet to his death, Haarris county
sherifFs officers said.
Honaker's 18-year-old son, Bob,
was injured seriously. He was tak-
en to Memorial Hospital.
Local officers said Honaker had
visited a brother, B. G., of Pauls
Valley, Okla., enroute to Houston.
More Time Given
in LougMin Cose
AUSTIN, Dec. 1 <UJS—Special
Master D. B. Wood has been grant-
ed a one month extension in which
to file his report on the ouster of
District Judge C. Woodrow Laugh-
tin of Alice.
Wood & district judge himself,
was to have reported Tuesday ,but
the court gave him permission
Monday to file his report Jan. 1.
Wood said the report was so
long he hadn't been able to give it
sufficient consideration to meet the
Dec. 1 deadline.
He conducted lengthy hearings
last August and September into
changes made by 11 South Texas
attorneys against Laughlin, judge
of the 79th district. Two weeks
ago. Laughlin's attorney filed
lengthy and conflicting findings of
fact with Wood,
partial commission to go to Korea
and China and investigate charges
of Communist atrocities against
United Nations troops and civil-
ians.
U. S. Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge Jr., issued the challenge in
a press statement shortly after
Russian delegate Andrei Y. Vishin-
sky had said in the Cnited Nations
General Assembly that the Ameri-
can atrocity charges are deliberate
lies designed to wreck chances of a
Korean peace.
Vishinsky's denunciation of tht
charges brought an accusation
from Australia's Sir Percy Spend-
er that the Russian had made "as
irresponsible and evil" a speech as
ever made in the General Assem-
bly.
'God Help Cause of Peace'
"If he was seeking to express
the peace-loving purposes of his
country, God help the cause of
peace! Spender said.
"Every time we hear from the
Soviet delegate, he speaks of peace
and befouls his protests of peace
by the methods in which he pre-
sents his arguments. . .
"I can't understand, any more
than I would have thought peace-
loving people would forgive, a
speech dripping with evil accusa-
tion against every nation but the
Soviet group and those who sup-
port it. . ."
The wily Russian purge trials
prosecutor took an unprecedented
step when he demanded a quorum
of the assembly at the start of his
debate. A roll-call showed a quor-
um of 46 of the 60 member coun-
tries.
Attacks Lodge Speech
Vishinsky said the 162 pages of
evidence of brutal Communist atro-
cities presented to the assembly by
U. S. Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge Jr., were in the same cate-
gory as an earlier report by Col.
James W. Hanley, chief of the war
crimes division in Korea, which the
Russians have repeatedly denoun-
ced.
"It is redolent of slander and
mendacious data concerning facts
that never took place,' fie said.

Odessa College he will be able to
save 15 of the 17 semester hours

Yuletide Program
Being Mapped Out
For Breckenridge
Stringing of Christmas lights and
garlands on Walker street contin-
ued Sunday .and it was said Tues-
day that when this work of decor-
ating is completed, the big Christ-
mas tree that has been placed or,
the court house lawn wilt be de-
corated.
One reason for this George Jor-
dan said, is to determine how much
will be left over from street deco-
rations for the tree.
The tree, forty feet high, has
been placed on the lawn. Festivities
in connection with it will open on
December 18. This will be when
Santa Claus comes to town. Santa
wilt arrive that evening at 5 o'clock
parade downtown then go to the
tree where candy will be distribut-
ed to the kiddies and the young
folk can see and talk to him.
Jordan added that a nightly pro-
gram is being worked out. On the
evening of December 18 the band,
which will play for the coming of
Santa Claus, will play under the
tree. Other music organizations of
the city will be contacted and car-
oling and other music features are
expected to be offered each even-
ing. These programs will extend
through December 23.
The tree was brought here by
the J. E. Cox company from New
Mexico under auspices of the Jay-
eees.
Stores will start remaining open
until 8 o'clock in the evening on
December 18 and the programs un-
der the tree will open at 8:30
o'clock.
A meeting of the Trade Exten-
sion Committee, Mort Ewing chair-
man. and the Christmas Decor-
ations committee, Paul Williams
chairman, was to be held at the
Chamber of Commerce Tuesday-
morn ing to further plan the Christ-
mas program.
