Yet Escape Suit
HOUSTON. Tex. 01E>— A fed-

from a veteran's hospital of a
man who later shot and killed an-
other man.

Covington was an escapee from

The Breekenridge American will
join in observing the holiday, and
will not publish on Thursday.
In reality Texas will observe
two Thanksgivings this year.
Some will celebrate both Nov.
22 and Nov. 29, while others will
be limited to one or the other.
President Eisenhower has pro-
claimed this Thursday—the fouith
Thursday in November—as nation-
al Thanksgiving Day.
Under Texas state law, Thanks-
giving always comes on the last
Thursday in November.
Thus, when November has five
Thursdays a conflict arises over
the observance.
Dallas Does Double
In Dallas, for example, Thanks-
giving will be this Thursday for
federal and city officers and
Southern Methodist University.
State offices, the county and pub-
lic schools will observe Nov. 29.
However, state employe gen-
erally will have holidays on both

Nation Takes Steps Against Surprise
ARMY RESERVISTS TOLD
TO BE READY FOR CALL
FORT WORTH (U.R)— Army re- that Dec. 7 and Korea don't hap-
servists in Fort Worth were told
today to wind up their personal
affairs and be ready for a pos-
sible call to active duty.
The lettered orders came from-
Fourth Army headquarters in San
Antonio.
The letters were received by
Fort Worth reservists Tuesday
and notified them of a change in
regulations that cuts notice time
and may deprive them of 90 - day
notices previously in effect before
fighting broke out in Hubgary and
the Middle East.
"It's nothing to worry about,"
said Maj. Stanley Swiatek, U. S.
Army reserve advisor for the
area.

U. S. Hunter-Killer
Has New Weapon
WASHINGTON IU.E)—The Navy
disclosed today that its hunter-
killer ships are being armed with
a powerful new anti-submarine
rocket known as "weapon able."
The rocket, which carries a con-
ventional explosive charge, may
be the forerunner of a ship-launch-
ed atomic depth charge. It has
been under secret development by
the Navy for several years as one
answer to the undersea threat
posed by Russia's large submarine
pen again," Swaitek said. "This
is only another link in the chain
of national defense. Reserves are
being alerted to make sure that
they will be ready in case they
are suddenly needed."
The notices arrived after a
weekend of rumors circulated
through the city that nearby Cars-
well Air Force Base had been
alerted and was to get ready for a
possible move. The rumors could
not be confirmed;
Under old regulations, reserv-
ists had 30 to 90 days to settle
their provate affairs before being
called for active duty.
Under the new rules "reservists
must" have their affairs in such
a state that they can be called
immediately anytime after Dec.
Maj, Swaitek, who just returned
from conferences in Washington,
said there is a great deal of activ-
ity in Washington, military circles.
"Texas leads the pack in ready
reserves who are prepared for
active duty," he said.

Gasoline Cut
By WILLIAM SEXTON
United Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON W.R)— Hundreds of
truck drivers walked off their jobs
today in an open revolt against
the government's drastic Suez
gasoline rationing order.
The truck drivers protested
against fuel cuts that- brought an
order from the nationalized British
Road Services to lay off one crew
in every 10 to stretch waning gas-
oline supplies until fuel can again
be shipped through the Suez Ca-
nal.
British Road Services headquar-
ters said about 1,000 men were on
strike at 11 a. m. 6 ,a.m. EST
at BRS depots in London.
The nationalized truck line oper-
ates practically all long—distance
highway freight transportation in
Britain.
The government yesterday an-
nounced a return to strict war-
time—type fuel ratioing, cutting
down on all consumers except
schools and hospitals. Motorists
will be limited to the equivalent
of 200 miles driving per month, ef-
fective Dec. 17.
Trucking Cut Ordered
Trucking companies were • or-
dered to cut gqsoline consumption
by 10 per cent, and the govern-
ment enforced the cut by laying
off 10 per cent, and the govern-
ment enforced the cut by laying
off 10 per cent of all vehicles.
Truckdrivers begun walking off
their jobs early today in protest
of the order. Tons of food and
other merchandise were left stand-
ing on the loading docks and in
idle vans.
Private motorists, long expect-
ing the government's decision,- ap-
parently took it calmly. However,
there was a rush for empty con-
tainers, apparently for use in
hoarding any supplies on hand.
Some apologized for buying gaso-
line containers by tilling shop-
keepers they wanted them for brew-
ing dandelion wine..
Industrial leaders warned "nas-
ty repercussions" were almost in-
evitable in the rationing program.
To Hit Motorist
Fuel rationing Will hit the pri-
vate motorist hardest, but severe
cutbacks were also in store for
the transport business, farmers
commercial fishermen, maritime
shipping and passenger lines, and
.nil other industries which nfeed oil
to remain in operation.
Next to honesty, your best policy—

Mount Skyward
... NEW YORK (IU!>—Cost of the
East and Gulf Coast longshore-
men's strike mounted to $120 mil-
lion today. West Coast longshore
men threatened to join the walkout
and tie up every port in the na-
tion.
The government is prepared to
seek a Taft-Hartley 80-day injunc-
tion to halt the six-day walkout
by the International Longshore-
men's Association (ind.) unless a
settlement is reached soon, inform-
ed sources imported in Washington.
No date was set for government
action. There were indications it
would be taken by the end of the
week, or perhaps earlier if Pacific
Coast longshoremen decide today
to strike.
The West Coast dock workers,
members of the International
Longhoremen's and Warehouse-
men s Union, planned to announce
this afternoon whether they would
strike in sympathy with the ILA.
ILWU members staged a 24—hour
walkout 'Monday and voted Tues-
day.
No sign of a break in the dead-
lock between the ILA and the 178-
member New York Shipping Asso-
ciation was reported. Bargaining
teams met separately with federal
mediators Tuesday without hold-
ing joint talks. Further (meetings
were scheduled for today.
Cargo, much of it perishable and
close to spoiling, lay in idle
freighters from Maine to Texas.
Losses to shippers and others af-
fected by the tie-up were esti-
mated at $20 million a day.
Chestnuts and cheese, cotton and
melons, shrimp, beer, bananas,
hams and fish clogged the holds of
cargo vessels or piled up on piers
where outbound ships waited for
loading.
Pasenger liners, including the
luxury liner Independence, were
prevented from sailing. The Amer-
ican Export Lin, owner of the In-
dependence, was especially hard
hit, with one-third of its fleet of
30 vessels idled.
A total of 196 freighters and
passenger liners were affected by
the strike in Atlantic ports. Some
50 more were reported tied up on
the Gulf Coast. Tankers are not
affected.

He asked the General Assembly

Silencv Greets Questions
U. N. sources refused "either to

2. What are the plans for with-

Why has there been no prog-

VIENNA (ttEl— A polio epidem-
ic has broken out in war-raveged
Budapest, the Communist con-
trolled Budapest Radio announced
today.
The radio said a polio epidemic
had hit Budapest and Debrecent,
the nation's third largest city with
a population of 100,000 some 100
mileB east of Budapest
It also reported the capital was
threatened by a spreading epidem-
ic of amoebic jaundice from pol-
luted water or vegetables.
The situation is even more crit-
ical because of a shortage of soap
and detergents, the radio said. The
Communist masters- had denied
early entrance of relief supplies.
Budapest Radio said the health
of babies and small children is
threatened by shortage of fresh
milk in a country torn by starva-
tion since the start of the revolt.
The public health situation gen-
erally in Budapest is "unsatisfac-
tory." it said. Much of the city
itself is rubble from Soviet tanks
and guns. Water mains and sew-
ers were broken during the fight
between the patriots and the So-
viet troops.
These are the hospitals that
eye-witness accounts said #ere
razed by point blank gunfire from
Russian- tanks and artillferftoften
