By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Two inches of snow blanketed
the Dalhart area of the Texas
Panhandle and torrential rains
poured down around Alice in
South Texas Thursday.
Moderate snowfall continued in
the northwest comer of'the Pan-
handle at noon. ,
The State Highway Department
today reported snow has covered
the entire network of roads in the
Amarillo district. It said there is
ice on a few bridges, but all high-
ways were still open at noon.
State 51 and U.S. Highways 54
and 87, north of Amarilo, are
presently slick in the below freez-
ing temperatures.
G. W. Griffin, a Civil Aeronau-

Cold Front Brings 2-inch Snow to Panhandle
A Day
In The
SUN
By OBUN MU WEB
If you like football, not a station
in the world will compare with
KLVT for you Friday.
Two bi-district clashes and one
district championship game are
scheduled during the day.
The station will start by warm-
ing you up for what’s coming with
a broadcast of a Sundown pep
rally at 11 a m. Friday. At 11:30
a.m., you go to Lofio gym as
students work up steam for Lev-
elland’s big game.
oOo
The first of the broadcasts
the Whltefaee-Happy bi-district
contest from Plalnvlew, with
torrest Webnhold doing play
by play — will start at 2:15
p.m.
Actually, 15 minute* earlier,
taping of the Sundown-Merkel
clash will have started, with
Wilbur Cleveland doing the
honors. Playback will start at
about 4:80 p.m.
Sundown’s game is being tap-
ed—instead of Whiteface’s —
only because it is a home game
and everybody who’s alive in
Sundown Is expected to be on
■ hand for the 2 p.m. revenge
contest with Merkel, anyway.
Purest will rush back from
Plain view to Littlefield and set
for a play by play of

< Although Levelland failed to
land die State-wide Jaycee Teen-
age Road-E-O finals (the loyal
club trailed winning San Marcos
by two votes in a state director’s
meeting in Amarillo, and was a-
head of Big Spring, another con-
tender), at least one convention is
assured.
Chamber Manager Bob Walker
says the West Texas Qiamber
Managers association will come to
this city next ^ear for it’s con-
clave.
oOo
It shouldn't be strange that
the new chamber of com -
merce building going up at
11th and Avenue H, will be one
of the major points of interest
to the chamber managers.
This new facility, along with
some of the major accomplish-
ments the chamber has post-
ed recently, is rapidly pushing
'Levelland out of the category of
a community that has a cham-
ber of commerce simply be-
cause its neighbors do.
There have been years in
the past when this was ap-
parently the only Justification
for the existence Level-
land's chamber.
It may have had a manager,
and possibly a secretary, but
not enough workers and finan-
cial support to he a sommunity-

GameoftheYear
Has 1-AAA Title
AsMajorSfake
Football grabbed the spotlight in
Levelland Thursday as the Level-
land Lobos braced for their “game
of tbe year” against Littlefield in
Wildcat stadium Friday night.
The contest, rated a toss-up in
some quarters — but with Little-
field still a slight favorite by vir-
tue of its position as defending
champion — is a little bit of ev-
erything rolled into one.
First of all. It will be the decid-
ing game of District 1-AAA. But
it will also be a revenge fight for
Levelland, which lost the title to
the Wildcats, 13-7, on a fluke play
a year ago.
It will be a battle between two
mentors who have both coached
Levelland teams, and would pro-
bably like nothing better than to
beat the other, particularly on this
occasion.
And it’s just an inter-city grudge
game of long standing, anyway.
Both teams could probably be
expected to put out their best ef-
fort of the year in the contest, if
nothing were at stake.
Hickman coached teams have
won two out of three contests in
the three years since Head Coach
Johnnie Hickman carne here from
' iiikin.
This was the same year that
Artists Nude Model
Disrupts Building
LUTON, England — The Lu-
ton Art School hung a sheet across
a studio window today to hide its
nude model from steelworkers
erecting a building next door.
“It wasn't so much that the
model was embarrassed.” said C.
L. Skinner, head of the school,
“but we got so many complaints
from the foreman of the build-
ing.”
The new building had risen
steadily until it reached the level
on which pretty Adele Mavis was
posing in the raw'. After that it
rose no higher, and the workmen
spent most of their time on the
Side next to the art school. The
foreman investigated, saw Adele
and appealed to Skinner.
The new building will house the
College of Further Education.
assistant, took over
head man at Littlefield.
Naturally. Mayfield would like to
deadlock the aeries at two-aB.
A victory in the cdhfeair
give Levelland- it’s first cle
claim to district title in a number
of years, while the Wildcats faye
had at least two district champ-
ionship teams since the Lobos
scratched last.
Squad Looks Good
Hickman says his players are
"showing more determination than
they’ve shown all year.”
“When you get determination,
you get better execution of every-
thing you do. That’s the big thing,”
he says.
Hickman says the boys are look-
ing exceptionally sharp and will
apparently be mentally right for
the conflict.
Although the coach says Little-
field doesn’t have the material of
Andrews or Snyder, he figures
Levelland can expect a tougher
team than either of these on Fri-
day night.
He says this sort of improve-
ment Is what milst be expected of
a Littlefield team playing Level-
land.
He says the wildcats, who have
lost one less game than the Lobos
this season, are a team that
makes few mistakes.
Hickman thinks enough of Left
End Lesslie Bevel to recommend
him for nomination to the Class
AAA all-state squad. He also rates
left tackle Wallace Lee as one of
the finest linemen in the district.
In the backfield, James Pressley,
will be directing Manfield’s T at-
tack for the third straight season.
A second Quarterback, Bill Jef-
fries, is called in to direct the
squad passing attacjc, or half-
back Buddy Jones, the squad’s top
runner, cqn also wreck
with a pass or run series he uses.

NEW ASPECTS TO GEIN SLAYING REVEALED
Strange Sex Complex
Motivated Slaughter
CHICAGO (B- The Chicago Trib-
une said today it had learned the
previously undisclosed story told
by Edward Gein, admitted slayer
of two women, in which he dis-
closed the “strange sex complex
that motivated his sadistic ram-
page and divulged new and more
horrifying details of his ghoulish
activities.”
In a dispatch from- Madison.
Wis., the Tribune said it learned
that Gein, “a shy, sly, mild-man-
nered bachelor, had wanted to be
a woman and that he said this
compulsion prompted him to kill
women and steal other bodies
from graves to get parts to wear
upon his ow'n body.”
The story said “this most ap-
palling denouement of the entire
case” came after Charles Wilson,
head of the state crime labora-
tory, reported that Gein had ad-
mitted the killing of Mrs. Mary
team | Hogan, 54, at his farm near Plain-
field, in central Wisconsin. Mrs.
croft, Wis , had been missing since i last Saturday.

Fort V/orthIntegration Hearing
Set Friday in US District Court
FORT WORTH <m — Attorneys
representing the Dallas School
Board and the National Associa-
tion for the Advancement of Col-
ored People will present argu-
ments before three federal appel-
late judges here -at 10 a.m.. to-
morrow for and against the latest
appeal from a U.S. District Court
order that schools in that city be
integrated in January.
Judge Richard T. Rives of
Montgomery, Ala., who wrote the
decision ordering desegregation of
buses in that clity, will be the pre-
siding Judge.
The case is generally regarded
as a test of Texas school, and
state laws.
Two other Judges of the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Cir-
cuit will hear the case with him.
Thurgood Marshall of New York,
chief counsel for the NAACP, has
filed a brief with the court asking
that the order of Federal Judge

that additional time is necessary
to carry out the ruling of the Su-
preme Court,” the NAACP brief
declares.
The current case was filed more
than two years ago, it points Out,
and at that time a detailed study
was started of 12 areas “which
allegedly embraced problems in-
herent in desegregation of its
school system. For aught this rec-
ord shows this study still has not

nor’s fund to the attorney general
to help him fight federal lawsuits
on integration.
Gonzalez led Senate filibuster
forces during the regular session
of the Legislature to delay action
10:541 on anti-integration bills.
Trailing the fund transfer meas-
ure on' the Senate calendar is the
bill that would permit boards to
close public schools under threat
of troop occupation brought on by
violence.
The House quickly adopted a
resolution proposed by Gov. Dan-
iel asking President Eisenhower
to insist that the Department of
Justice halt boundary litigation in-
volving the Texas tidelands. The
resolution was offered by Rjep. Jo
Ed Winfree of Houston. It must
be approved also by the Senate
before it can be sent to President
Eisenhower.
Senate debate on the fund trans-
fer bill and the school closing bill
was delayed yesterday on techni-
calities as prospects for an end to
the second special session this
week disappeared.

Epidemie football fever has
swept the Levelland area, with
three teams in a 14-mile triangle
heading Into district and bi-district
championship play Friday night.
. Revenge-bent Sundown takes on
the McCloudJess Merkel Badgers
at 2 p.m. in Slaughter Stadium in
a bi-district clash that could send
the Roughnecks on toward a pos-
sible state championship if they
should win. ‘ . ,
Whiteface, a team which beat
the Happy Cowboys last year in
bi-district but forfeited the game
because of an Ineligible player, will
try to win again at 2:30 p.m. in
Plainview—this time with all the
players eligible-.
Levelland, a hard-luck team last
year, seeks to redeem itself for
a 13-7 loss and claim its first clear
cut title since 1951.
Coach E m m ett Broaderson’s
Whiteface Antelopes are undefeat-
ed this 'season, and it’s the best
record in years for this school’s
grid squad.
But Sundown will be taking one
of the state’s most impressive
records with it ■ into the game a-
gainst the Badgers.
This is the fifth year in a row
for the Rougitnecks to capture the
District 5-A title. The ’necks had
their greatest year in 1954 when
they scored 480 points while allow-
ing their opponents only 101. That
year they advanced to the quar-
terfinals in the slate playoffs be-
fore losing out to Albany. .
