Equalization Board
Schedules Hearings
The City Tax Board of Equaliza-
tion began a three-day hearing
this morning of citizens who de-
sire adjustments in their tax ren-
ditions.
The hearings will last through to-
day and Tuesday and Wednesday.
A total of 29 people had appeared
at City Hall by noon today. The
board had heard 16 of them.
Although many thermometers re-
gistered 110 degrees and above here
yesterday, the official temperature
reading in Cleburne was 106.
This mark was one degree short
of the 107 record high set here a
month ago. Several citizens plac-
ed thermometers on sidewalks .and
instruments shot up past the 160-
degree mark before they were re-
moved. Had they not been removed
at this reading it was apparent' the
liquid would have in all probability
squirted out the top.
Still no rain was in prospect for
the local area, which lay parching
in the relentless sun.
Texas temperatures were
scorching hot again today, after

Lime Plant Is
Defendant In
Another Lawsuit
Another suit for damages and an
injunction to halt lime dust from
being expelled into the air, has
been filed against the Texas Lime
Co., by residents who live in the
area of the lime plant south of
Cleburne.
Eight property owners are joined
in the suit asking damages totaling
$45,400. The owners are asking the
following amounts: Kermit Glass-
cock, $5,000; B. C. Smith, $4,500;
William S. White, $12,000; Russell
J. Crabtree, $4,500; George B. Sar-
tor, $5,500; Calvin O. White, $4,150;
J. L. Sanderson, $3,750 and F. O.
Calvert, $6,000.
The lime company only recently
announced plans for spending $100,-
000 to eliminate dust coming from,
the plant. Officials of the plant an-
nounced equipment would be instal-
led and all work on the project
would be completed by the end of
the year.
Assault Charge Filed
Charges of assault and battery
were filed this morning with Peace
Justice Lee Bizzell against Mrs. W.
M. Gwynn by H. T. Self.
Charges came from an affair last
Friday morning when it was alleg-
ed Mrs. Gwynn struck Mrs. Self.
Mrs. Self has been confined to her
bed with a complete loss of memory
since that time, the charge claimed.

516 Polio Cases
Is Chicago's Title
CHICAGO (UP)—The case total
stood at 516 today as this city
entered the crucial week in its
fight against the worst polio out-
break in its history. There have
been 11 deaths.
The second round of Salk vac-
cine shots in the “crash” inocula-
tion program is scheduled to begin
early in the week.
The time lapse between the first
and second shots was cut by
health authorities “to give protec-
tion as quickly as possible.”
About half the victims of the
unusually early outbreak have
been children in the six-month to
five-year age group. This group
had little chance to receive the
Salk shots before the outbreak.

cret police, was executed for his
part in the so-called “doctors

And a jump in price from a
current $1 an acre-foot of water
to an estimated $9 an acre-foot
will automatically “put rice-farm-
ing out of business,” the irriga-
tionists claim.
Power, in the voice of J. B.
Thomas, Fort Worth, president of
TESCO, goes much f u r t h er.
Thomas calls the plan "uneconom-
ceived” and “unjustifiable.”
Thomas said the annual costs of
the power would be twice its cal-
ue and he adds that the power
companies feel that they can’t
sign a 50-year contract to buy the
power to finance the dams.
“Who knows what 50 years will
bring in atomic energy, power
from the sun, and water runoff?”
Thom,as asks.
The BRA figures that in 50
years, the multi - dam project,
supporting itself by income from
power and water sales, will have
completely paid for itself.
“The final gain,” said Herbert
S. Hulburg, Plainview publisher
and president of the BRA, “it wa-
ter — plenty of it for everyone.”

Search Moves For
11 'Soaped' Felons
SANTA ANA, Calif. (UP)— Po-
lice pressed a search today for
four convicts of a group of 11 pris-
oners who soaped their bodies and
inched up a four-story ventilator
shaft to escape from' the Orange
County jail here.
Before the call, the four deputy
sheriffs on duty at the jail were
unaware that anyone had escaped
from the felony “tank.” Thirty of
the 41 prisoners in the section
chose to remain behind.
The escapees, all convicted and
awaiting sentencing, undressed,
soaped their bodies and slithered
70 feet up a tiny ventilator shaft.
On the roof, they put their
clothes on and lowered themselves
to an alley next to the jail by
a rope fashioned from strips of
mattress covers.
Two of the convicts were picked
up in a stolen car near the jail
a short time later. Four were tak-
en into custody in nearby Comp-
ton, and another was arrested in
Corona, 40 miles from Santa Ana.
Local firemen, policemen and
the general public contributed $112
to aid the families of firemen killed
in the explosion at Dumas.
The fire chief of the Sun Ray
and Dumas departments were kill-
ed, along with 13 volunteer fire-
men, in the explosion and fire.

Financing of the plan, which in-
cludes also propositions for salt
control, raising of Possum King-
dom’s level 15 eet, and acquiring
control of Whitney, would be by
revenue bonds. Uncle Sam: would
buy $50 million of the bonds. The
rest would be sold to the general
public.
Sale of hydroelectric power
would retire the bonds.
The BRA holds the program
won’t cost the taxpayer a penny.
Backed by a raft of engineering
reports that cost more than $1
million, the BRA believes the
project feasible and one answer
to Texas’ industrial and agricul-
tural growth.
But irrigationists supplying mu-
nicipal water and water to 600
rice farmers in Fort Bend, Braz-
oria, Harris and Galveston coun-
ties call the multi-dam, project a
“grandiose scheme.”
If the dams are built, the irri-
gationists claim, water will be
held back for power and “there
won’t be enough water in the low-
er Brazos to water a mule.”
United Press Staff Correspondent
HOUSTON —UP—A hot battle
is shaping up in Texas between
water conservationists and private
power interests and the taxpayer
could wind up paying the bill.
Irrigationists, particularly rice
farmers in the lower reaches of
the Brazos River, are in it, too.
Principally, they’re afraid the
price of water is going up.
But the big battle is between the
Brazos River Authority, a state
agency charged with conserving a
part of Texas’ dwindling water,
and the Texas Electric Service
Co.
The immediate issue:
The BRA proposed to build five
dams on the Brazos between Pos-
sum Kingdom, Reservoir above
Mineral Wells and the federally-
surveillance through speakeasy-
type sliding panels built into the
newly-constructed plywood walls
that ringed the court.
Smith has charged that FBI
Chief J. Edgar Hoover’s claim
that the case was “solved” with
the capture of the defendants ear-
ly this year has prejudiced a fair
trial.
Two thousand Suffolk County
residents have been called as pro-
spective jurors. About 100 will be
called each day until a jury is se-
lected.
Two of the men originally named
in the indictments were not in the
prisoners’, dock when Superior
Judge Felix Forte opened the trial.
Joseph S. Banfield, one of those
named by the FBI, died in 1955.
Stanley Gusciora, 36, died of a
brain tumor at Norfolk Prison
July 9. In the moments of his
death he swore he was innocent.
Another named in the indict-
ments, Joseph (Specs) O’Keefe,
has turned state’s evidence. He is
expected to be the prosecution’s
star witness.
Gubernatorial
Candidates Set
Runoff Schedule
By UNITED PRESS
Sen. Price Daniel and attorney
Ralph Yarborough hit the road for
votes today in their gubernatorial
runoff canpaign.
Daniel announced he will launch
his campaign in southeast Texas,
visiting Kountze, Silsbee, Kirby-
ville, Newton, Jasper, Woodville
and Lufkin today. He has a rally
scheduled for Tuesday night at
Longview.
Yarborough was to campaign to-
day in the Austin area, with stops
scheduled for Round Rock,
Georgetown, Copperas Cove, Kil-
leen, Gatesville, Hamilton and
Hico. He will close out the day
with a rally at 8 p. m. on the
courthouse square at Stephenville.
Attend Conventions
Both Yarborough and Daniel at-
tended their Democratic county
conventions Saturday, Yarborough
in Austin and Daniel at Liberty.
Both candidates claimed sup-
port from, first primary backers
of former Gov. W. Lee O’Daniel.
Jim Fritts, who played an ac-
tive part in O’Daniel’s campaign-
ing, drew cheers at the Travis
county Democratic convention
when he announced his support of
Yarborough, and said O’Daniel’s
“hillbilly” band would join Yar-
borough’s campaign tours.
Simultaneously, Daniel has an-
nounced that Judge Tom L. Beau-
champ of Paris, former member
of the Texas Court of Criminal
Appeals, and 18 other backers of
O'Daniel had pledged their sup-
port to him.
Many Failed to Vote
Both candidates, in addition to
hoping for a wide cut of their op-
ponents’ first primary votes, are
fighting for an estimated 900,000
eligible votes that were never cast
in the July 28 election.
Only two statewide races are
left for the Aug. 25 runoff pri-
mary since A. M. Aikin Jr. of
Paris declined to make the runoff
for lieutenant governor. This as-
sured victory for the incumbent,
Ben Ramsey of San Augustine.
Besides the governor’s race,
Will Wilson of Dallas and Tom
Moore Jr. of Waco are campaign-
ing in a runoff for attorney gen-
eral.

HARLINGEN, Tex. —UPA Civil
Air Patrol plane searching Sun-
day for a missing Beechcraft Bo-
nanza with three Fort Worth res-
idents aboard stumbled across
the wreckage of another Bonanza
missing almost six months with
four Houston men.
Both the green and white Fort
Worth plane and the blue and
gray Bonanza from Houston were
found and it was confirmed that
seven persons died in the crash-
es.
The Houston plane probably
would never have been found but
for the drought which depleted
Parker Lake northeast of Har-
lingen, not far from the Gulf of
Mexico.
Sighted by CAP Pilot
Jerry R. Fitzgerald of the Har-
lingen Civil Air Patrol, searching
for the Fort Worth plane, sighted
the tail of the Houston plane pro-
truding from the lake, also known
as Laguna Atascosa.
Those killed in the crash of the
plane from Fort Worth were Rob-
ert L. Keller, 33, his bride of a
few weeks and their pilot, Henry
J. West, 41, all of Fort Worth. The
Fort Worth aircraft crashed about
60 miles north of the Houston
plane’s crash.
The couple and their pilot left
Fort Worth at 5:49 p. m. last Fri-
day for a delayed honemoon in
Monterrey, Mexico.

sidered Britain’s best friend in the
Arab world, threw its support to 1
Egypt with the statement that
“nationalization is the undoubted
right of any nation.”
The move raised the possibility
that another “Suez” may be in
the works, for Iraq is the key
state in British oil investments in
the Arab world.
The foreign office had no im-
mediate comment.
Britain sent the 22,000-ton air-
craft carrier Bulwark steaming
toward the eastern Mediterranean
today with new naval jet fighters
and ordered the 13,190-ton carrier
Ocean to sail Tuesday with troops,
trucks and arms.
Paratroopers Sail
The 13,350-ton carrier Theseus
sailed Sunday with 1,000 men of the .
16th Independent Parachute Bri-
gade and Britain began converting
transport planes for emergency
troop airlift to the Middle East.
Egypt was reported consulting
the Soviet Union on military plans
to counter any Anglo-French move
in the canal dispute. Egypt began
calling up its reserves.
The Arab states fell in step with
Egypt, and the Arab League Po-
litical Committee called a meet-
ing for Tuesday in Cairo to ferm
a solid front against Britain and
France.
Dispatches from Damascus,
Syria, said Syrian oil workers had
threatened to cut major British oil
pipelines which move thousands of
tons of oil from Iraq to Mediter-
ranean ports.
General Strike Reported
A new general strike was re-
ported under consideration by
Arabic nationalist leaders on Bah-
rain Island where anti - British-
riots caused many deaths last
March.
These were the major develop-
ments:
Cairo: President Carnal Abdel
Nasser conferred with Soviet Am-
bassador Evgueney Kisselev and
Amer, commander of the joint
armed forces of Egypt, Syria,
Saudi Arabia and the Yemen.
Cairo: Egypt mobilized student
military trainees and national
guard reserve officers; volunteers
began emergency military train-
ing at national guard camps
throughout the. country.
Paris: France awaited Egypt’s
reply to the Suez Canal conference
invitation with strong language,
calm military preparations and an
unusual show of national solidar-
ity. Government leaders in week-
end speeches called Nasser a “dic-
tator without word and without
honor.”
British Criticized
London: Moscow radio criticized
Britain for freezing the Egyptian
sterling balances and said this
“indicates the West’s belief that
international law exists simply to
exploit underdeveloped countries”.
It affirmed that “the Suez Canal
belongs to Egypt and Egypt alone
has the right to be in charge of it.”
Washington: Australian Prime
Minister Robert G. Menzies can-
celled plans to leave for the Far
East because of the Suez crisis.
There was speculation in London
he may act as liaison man be-
tween the British and American
governments.
Though Egypt as well as Britain
and France was moving toward a
war footing, diplomats through the
world still were pinning their
hopes on the Aug. 16 conference
of 24 nations to study putting the
Suez Canal under international
authority.

riod in the state in recent years.
Three accidents accounted for
6 deaths. Eight were killed in a
wreck near Woodvill in southeast
Texas, four died in a smashup
near Avinger, in northeast Texas,
and four died from a Panhandle
