Steady rains continued to fall

up to 3.62 inches. The total for

Bill Gresham, County Agricul-

He added that rainfall was gen-

Later, he said, the company
showed its checks issued to pay
in earlier cases, but said "noth-
ing of its refusal to accept the
principle involved." It did, how-
ever, offer a 31,000 reward for
proof of its failure to live up to
the contract
This offer, Dixie said, is spu-
rious. He said that the company,
when approached, would take
the position that each case would
be settled in the courts. This
would take from six months to a
year, in each instance, Dixie
said.

Lebanon, previously under bit-

over its endorsement of the Eis-

asking the United States to let it
renege on that endorsement.
Lebanon might have little to lose,
since she has received almost all
her share of 200 million dollars
Congress appropriated for the
American campaign against Com-
munist aggression in the Middle
East.
King Saud, who ia visiting in
Lebanon, waa said to be urging
a Lebanses reversal as a contri-
button to Arab unity.
A trend toward greater neutral-

to be evidenced by those reports:

The arrival of Egyptian forces
in Syria seemed to be more of a
diplomatic move to draw the two
countries closer together than a
military move actually designed
to defend Syria.
The armed forces of Syria are
estimated at 50,000 men and at
Egypt at 100,000 men. The com-
bined armies would be no match
for Turkey's well-trained army of
about 500,000.

"As of tonight, the union has
the attitude that will win peace.”
Dixie said. "We can’t get through
to the minds and hearts of the
company, which is pouring mil-
lions down the drain in a useless
loss.
"We hope the company win
extend its hand to ours, which
has been extended all the time.
Any mistakes we have made have
been of the head, and not of the
heart," he said.
- Dixie spoke as the union rep-
resentative, so that its position
in the Lone Star Steel Co. labor
dispute might be offered.
The millions being wasted was
a reference to his earlier state-
mrnt that the company ia get-
ting along with just a dribble of
returning workman. He said the
company is spending millions
without the people they have
taught to operate the plant
He said he did not claim per-
fect clients, nor ia the company
perfect. The union is less imper-
fect. he declared.
Differences can not be solved
by the whiplash or by false pride,
he said, but there must be a rise
to the level of statesmanship
Union men are individuals who
have pride, both individually and
collectively, he said. And they
are men who pcsam tempera.
Vengeance will never solve the
problem, he said, and itisim-
possible to get past pride, the
desire to punish. He called tor
light, instead of host, on the
question.
The steel workers union. in
1956. gave Lone Star a different
termination date in its contract,
so Lone Star could continue to
operate and earn profits in event
at a strike in Big Steel, Dixie
said.
Earlier in the history of the
union at Lone Star, he explained,
the union did not ask the some
hourly rates as prevailing in
other, and longer established,
plants.
Five years ago, Lone Star waa
rightfully not able to pay Rie
same rates, he explained. Last
year, how <7 VW IT a Lone Star was
able, he said.
It was last year the company
and the union negotiated a three
year contract which Dixie said
waa designed to bring prosperity,
security, and pensions. Now, he
said, this dream has “gotten away
from us, unless someone finds a
solution."
Origin of the trouble in the
plant to in bad relations between
the company and men in the
plant, Dixie said, asying H was
"just hard to get along in the
plant between the men and the
company."
He cited the fact of 67 arbitra-
tion cases at Lone Star, which he
said was more than in the three-
state (Texas, Oklahoma, Arkan-
sas) district at the union.
Further pinpointing the dif-
ferences. Dixie said that in the
matter of filling temporary
vacancies, "the company said the
contract meant one thing, the
union said it meant another.
He said an arbitrator rated the
company had been violating the
contract, and that the company
paid a “few dollars tosolved”
but then "said it would not abide

Ice cream' and gasoline were

week end by prowlers at Mount
Pleasant High School, Supt
Marvin Amerson said Monday.
The high school cafeteria waa
entered, he said, by ripping a
screen and breaking a window
glass. The only thing missed from
there was an indeterminate
amount of ice cream, which the
prowlers apparently ate before
they departed.
They also left the ice cream
box open, Amerson said.
There was no money taken,
since none is ever kept in the
cafeteria, Amerson explained.
He said there was evidence of
pilfering in several "desks in the
building, but so far as could be
established immediately, nothing
of value waa missing.
In the other instance, gasoline
was drained from two school
buses. Amerson was unable to
say exactly how much gasoline
was taken, but he estimated it
between it and 30 gallons.

CAIRO <B—President Nasser is
sending Egyptian arms around
the Arab compass in an apparent
counteroffensive against the Ei-
senhower Doctrine.
There were reports of a dual
shift in the Middle East: a swing
toward stricter neutrality in Cairo
and Damascus and a weakening
of support in pro-Western
Lebanon for the anti-Communist
U.S. doctrine.
Nasser pushed Egyptian influ-
ence with these moves:
1. The surprise landing of an
undisclosed number of Egyptian
troops at the Syrian port of
Latakia yesterday was followed
by a formal display of Egyptian
naval force there."
