Stream Polluted
By Poison; Firm
Facing Lawsuit
AUSTIN, Aug 7 fP Threat of
pollution of the Cypress River with
large supply of caustic soda was
considered ' past tonight, but city
officials were said still considering
a suit against the oil refining com-
pany which reportedly released the
soda into the river.
A day-long series of tests on
river water showed the concentra-
tion of soda to be considerably
weakened and not particularly dan-
gerous as it approached Marshall,
j according to city manager Ivan
| Oliver.
I Oliver and Dist. Engineer W. T.
Ballard of the State Health De-
partment said fish were being
' caught along the section of river
| reached by the concentration of
1 sodium hydroxide late this after-
noon, indicating that the poisonous
substance was greatly diluted.
Frank Von Zubin, senior engi-
neer for the department's bureau
of sanitary engineering, said city
officials of Marshall “are not over-
ly concerned” about the threat to
the city’s water sUDply but may
brings suit if the city is forced to
undergo some expense to meet the
problem.
Von Zubin said Marshall takes
its water from Caddo Lake, then
pumps it into a reservoir known
as Caddo Lake Jr. for gravity flow
into the city. He said dilution of
the soda in the larger lake might
keep the effect from being signi-
ficant.
Studebaker Issues
Threat Of Shutdown

SOUTH BEND. Ind Aug. 7—
UP— Studebaker Corp. Saturday
served a 60-day contract termina-
tion notice on the UAW—CIO.
It meant that if no new agree-
ment is reached before that tim<*
about 1.000 workers at the auto
manufacturing plant will be thrown
out of work and the plant Will close
down.
Studebaker officials said they
have “no other course to take"

was a postulant with the Oblate
order of Mary Immaculate.
Emilie went to the hostel, con-
ducted for aged persons and re-
tired priests, about two months
ago. She died alone, about 400
miles from her sisters.
Taken Home
The autopsy completed, the body
was to be taken to Emilie's griev-
ing parents, Mr. and Mrs. Oliva
Dianne, and her sisters and bro-
thers at their home in Callander,
Ont.
Her sister Yvonne told a report-
er there:
"Emilie was so good, so gay.
She had not seemed ill. If we had
only known . .
District Coroner Jean - Louis
TaiUon had refused in Ste. Agathe
to sign a release for the body until
the cause of death .was definitely
estabileshed.
The body was brought to Mon
treal for the autopsy.
Moct Affectionate
Considered the most affection-
ate of the five identical quintup-
lets, Emilie was the second small-
est of the sisters at the birth May
28, 1934. An elder sister. Mrs. Man
rice Girouard. said yesterday Em-
ilie had polio 17 years ago and
since then had been afflicted with
fainting spells.
At Callander, however, a parish
priest who acted as spokesman for
her father, said she had suffered
a “weak spell'' when she was six.
"It was never diagnosed,” he
said, "but nolio is out."
Sisters at the hostel said she
had suffered from frequent "faint-
ting spells'’ which they believed
to be epilepsy.
Rodeo Finale
(Oeatinned from Page One)
nights ago rejected a wage-cutting
adjustment designed to put Stude-
haker in a better competitive posi-
tion.
Harold S. Vance. Studebaker
president, and Paul G. Hoffman,
chairman of the boqrd, said they
hoped "there can be prompt re-
consideration by the union of the
problems facing the company.”
Most union officers were out of
the city for the weekend, but a
spokesman said the local's execu-
tive board probably will meet Mon-
day to discuss the situation.
T. Forrest Hanna, local vice
president, said the union was in-
formed of the company’s plans at
a meeting with management Fri-
day.
Hanna said the union “tried to
see whether the company would
back up on any of its demands.’’
He quoted Vance and Hoffman as
saying: “If we back up any more,
we'll be out of business in a mat-
ter of months."
Union leaders and the company
tried to get workers to agree to a
10 to 15 per cent wage reduction
to help Studebaker out of its slump.
The proposal was overwhelmingly
rejected.
Hoffman said Studebaker will
live up to terms of its contract
for the 60-day period. He added
that the firm "cannot continue to
operate except under conditions
which makes its labor cost com-
petitive with major producers in
the auto industry."
Studebaker officials said the
union's negotiating committee held
out for provisions which would
leave Studebaker workers better
paid than others in the industry.
The company agreed to the pro-
visions, but they were voted down.

Both Aiken and Young, in sep-
arate interviews, predicted victory
for their rival programs, although
both agree the Senate is nearly
evenly divided, with the margin
remaining from one to six votes.
Most Republicans are lined up
for the Aiken amendment and most
Democrats for extending the rigid
supports, so those who cross party
lines will decide the issue.

to fall, dashing hopes for the
night’s event.
Sunday's show will be the second
half of the second and last go
around, and most of the cowboys
who participate in the Wednesday
contests will ride and rope again
in it. •
Crouch said late Saturday night
the "show will be kept intact and
will be nresented in Ms ’entirety.”
“In the event of more rain Sun-
day.” he aded. "we ll hold the
last performance Monday night."

The Sunday night show promises

A line of thundershowers pushed
in by a weak cool front became
stationary Saturday before it had
covered much of Texas, but left
in its wake a little moisture and
slightly cooler temperatures.
The cool air kept temperatures
down over much of the Panhandle
and South Plains. For instance, it
never was warmer than 78 degrees
at Dalhart Saturday. In contrast,
it was 106 at Dallas, which was the
highest in the state.

of rain and lesser amounts fell at
Dalhart, Amarillo and other Pan-
handle points, and at Midland and
El Paso. More showers were pre-
dicted Saturday night and early
Sunday morning over that area.
! The air mass became stationary
, along a line running from Joplin, i
1 Mo., to north of Ardmore, Okla.,
to northeast of Wichita Falls and
on to Big Spring, Midland and into
New Mexico.
Some heavier rain fell further
north, with Guymon, Okla., re-
cording. 1.56. inches.

More rain was falling at Lub-
bock where a West Texas-New

tween Abilene and Lubbock was
postponed.
Forecasters said additional rain
showers were expected to fall over
scattered points in the Panhandle
and Plains areas and west of the
Pecos Valley through Sunday
night. None of very little rain was
expected elsewhere over the state.
