Free Insurance Approved
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 — (U.R)
— The House Veterans Commit-
tee today unanimously approved
legislation to give all service-
men free insurance of $10,000.
Except for minor changes, the
bill is like one which was passed
by the House in the closing days
of the last Congress but allowed
to die in the senate.
MEXICO PLANS FOK COTTON
MONTERREY. Mexico. Jan,
16 — iU.fi) — Several thousand
acres of drouth-devastated cit-
rus groves in Northern Mexico
may be switched to cotton acre-
age.
The Montemorelos Association
of citrus producers said yester-
day it is seeking $80,000 in credits
from the Bunk of Nuevo Leon
to buy cotton seed.

Coleman County
Rodie’s short speech was one of
many delivered by numerous out of
town guests—but it struck the chief
serious note of national importance
in a dinner observing the two-day
20th annual Coleman Live Stock
Show and Sale which concludes to-
day. Some 200 persons were present.
Guests and speakers were intro-
duced by John Will Vance. Theo
Griffis acted as chairman for the
dinner. Clyde Thate, general chair-
man, introduced the various chair-
men who assisted with details of the
show and sale.
A highlight in levity was reached
with presentation to Mrs. Jim Gill
of a small lamb—so she would not
be “impeached” as secretary of the
National Wool Growers for not hav-
ing at this time—any sheep.
Clint Shirley of Fort Worth ad-
vocated changing the Coleman show
and sale to eliminate the sale and
to allow boys who show to take a
trip to Fort Worth to learn by ex-
perience complete processing of the
animals.
Joe Ogdon, secretary of the Brady
Chamber of Commerce, explained
the Brady system—similar to that
urged by Shirley.
As part of the entertainment fea-
ture, E. W. Scott, principal of Cole-
man High School, introduced Mrs.
John Will Vance as a woman who
in two months as president of the
National Wool Growers Association
has “done more for the wool indus-
try than the Secretary of Agricul-
ture has ever done.” As proof he
cited the rise in wool prices from
65 or 70 cents to the high last week
of $1.30 1/2.
The Coleman High School Choral
Club, some 50 students, was enthus-
iastically received. Led by Miss
Panze Butler, the group sang a half
dozen songs.
Specialty numbers were provided
by a string trio consisting of Melvin
and Gene Baker and J. W. Staggs
and by a feminine quartet compos-
ed of Ruth Watson, Wanda Enscy,
Pat Henderson and Jane Griffis.

Overseas Duty of 18 Year
Olds-HoldsCongress Back
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 — (U.R)
— Defense Secretary George C.
Marshall does not want his hands
tied on the way he uses drafted
troops, assistant Defense Secre-
tary Anna M. Rosenberg told a
Senate Committee today.
Marshall’s viewpoint was pre-
sented on the question of a pro-
posed one-year ban on sending
18-year-olds overseas — If Con-
. gress approves grafting them.
Mrs. Rosenberg said she confer-
red with Marshall this morning
on the question whether the de-
fense department will accept a
one-year ban on sending 18-year-
olds overseas. She said no de-
cision has been made on that
specific issue,
"He told me to comply with
the wishes of the committee as
far as possible,” she said. “But
he said he would appreciate it
k:' greatly if his hands not be tied.”
' ■ «3 Committee chairman Lyndon
B. Johnson, D., Tex,, told her
that Marshall should be prepared
to state just how many 18-year-
olds he wants to send outside
continental United States.
Under the present draft law,1
men 19 through 25 are subject
to military service for 21 months.
posed dropping the draft age
to 18 and extending the military
service period to 27 months.
Irt previous testimony, Mar-
shall and Mrs. Rosenberg have
said that’ very few 18-year-olds
will be subject to overseas ser-
vice if they are drafted.
Rut Johnson and other Con-
gressmen have expressed fears'
that Congress will turn down
draft of the 18-year-olds unless
the overseas ban is approved at
the same time.'
Elsewhere in Congress :
Foreign Policy — Sen. Robert
S. Kerr, D., Okla., charged that
some Republicans are making
the Administration’s Foreign
Policy ‘‘futile and useless.” He
said the GOP offers only a di-
vided Foreign Policy which
would guarantee “the success of
Soviet Communism and our pwn
failure.” Senate Republican lead-
er Kenneth S. Wherry called for
a 109,000 plane air force. He also
asked approval of his resolution
barring overseas shipment of
American troops unless Congress

message yesterday — appeared
headed for a dead end. The is-
sues included a fair employment
practices commission, the Bran-
nan Farm Plan, National Health
Insurance and Federal Aid to
Education.
Subsidies — Some members of
the House Agriculture Gommit-
tee said vaguely that Congress
may study a ‘‘subsidy” of con-
sumer food bills if prices con-
tinue to rise. Rep. W. R. Poage,
D., Tex., said the /‘subsidies’’
would be govdmmeht payments
to help meet food prides, but said
he had no idea how to establish
such a program.
Housing — The Administration
started its campaign for defense
housing legislation, with housing
administrator Raymond M. Fo-
ley the first scheduled witness
before the senate banking com-
mittee. Sen. John W. Bricker, R.,
O., charged the program is a
"perfect illustration of the politi-
cal profiteer in action."
Reapportionment — The House
judiciary committee planned to
resume hearings soon on a bill
to increase the House to 450
members, but chairman Eman-
uel Celler, D., N Y., predicted
the measure would no( pass.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16 — (U.R)—
Natural gas from Texas was de-
livered in large quantities to
New York City for the first time
today, but families won’t be us-

winds through 12 states along
the coastal plains.

bular good used by the Petrol-
eum industry was approved yes-
terday by the government.

“needed primarily in the produc-
tion of petroleum products,’” the
announcement said.
Government officials estimated
that the present plant and facil-
ities of the company have a re-
placement value “well in excess”
of $50,000,000. After the $75,000,-
000 addition to facilities is com-
pleted Lone Star is expected to be
in a position to increase sub-
stantially its production bf oil

It’s expected that the new facil-
ities will be in operation within
18 months or less.

8th Army Takes Suwon
In ‘Reconnaissance’ Move
TOKYO, Wednesday, Jan. 17—
(UP)—U. S. 8th Army troops in
western Korea .drove another 10
miles north Tuesday, recapturing
Suwon and forcing the Chinese
Communists to fall back toward
Seoul, 17 miles north.
In central Korea, however, other
8th Army troops withdrew from the
embattled Wonju area to set up a
new and straighter defense line to
the south.

150 troops.
With the capture of Suwon, the
8th army had advanced 16 miles
since It launched what it called a
"reconnaissance In force” yester-
day, Osan 10 miles south of Suwon,
fell without a fight yesterday.
However, the 8th Army still had
not come Into contact with the
main Chinese forces below Seoul
and it seemed unlikely that the
Reds would yield much more ground
without an all-out battle,
One report said the Chinese were
throwing up a defense line just
er South Korean capital and joined
the 38th and 50th armies south of
Seoul. That pat some 20,000 Chi-
nese troops between Seoul and the
8th Army line.
In east-central Korea, other Unit-
ed Nations forces dug in along a
new defense line after abandoning
positions Just south of Wonju to

ized by their 10-day stand to follow
up the withdrawal,
