INDUSTRY POOL TALKS COLLAPSE
BETWEEN ENGLAND AND FRANCE
PARIS, Jane 0 (UP) — Talks
between Britain and Prance on a
scheme to pool the coal and steel
lapsed but six countries announced
they would go ahead with the plan
without Britain.
France, Belgium, The Nether*
lands, Western Germany, Luxem-
bourg and Italy announced their
agreement on an “immediate ob-
jective." It was the pooling of <
and steel production, and creation
of a new hjgh authority whose de-
cisions would be binding.
A conference of those nations to
draft a treaty aimed at putting in-

Two Doctors Report
Anti-Histamines Not
Effective for Colds
CHICAGO, June 8 (UP)—Two
anti-histamine drugs failed in
scientific testa to give any indica-
tion that they could stop the com-
mon cold, two University of Minn-
esota physicians report.
Dr. Donald W. Cowan and Har-
old S. Diehl gave a report in the
journal of the American Medical
Association on studies they made
with phenindamine and tripelenna-
mine hydrochloride, two anti-his-
tamine drugs.
The drugs were tested among
3677 students who enrolled at the
university.
Some of the students were given
tablets containing the drugs but
others were given fake tablets as
a control group. None of the stu-
dents knew whether they had the
anti-histamines or the fakes.
“The subjects , . . volunteered to
join the experiment because they
were especially susceptible to colds
and because colds constituted a real
problem to them," the rephrt said.
“We received many enthusias-
tic reports from the subjects of
the cold study. However, some of
the most glowing testimonials*
came from members of the control
yho were given the harmless
ineffective tablets containing
and cornstarch,
enrollment, each subject
was asked to fill out a question-
naire. Then, after a brief discus-
sion, he was given a box qf medi-
cine with written instructions to
take one dose at the first symp-
toms of a cold and to repeat the
dose every four hours until the
cold was definitely ‘cured’ or un-
til the medicine (10 doses) was
used."
Results of the experiment were
based on both the students' and
the doctors’ opinions as to the
severity and duration of the symp-
toms.
“None of these comparisons in-
dicates that any of the experi-
mental groups fared better than
the control group,” the doctors
said.
France will be called for Parts
about June IB.
Procedure Meet Plaaned
The British Government, trying
hard up to the last minute to avoid
being left out, announced it could
not agree to such an advance com-
mitment. It proposed instead a
preliminary meeting of ministers
to discuss procedure, rather than
-plunging into a full-dress confer-
The London government an-
nounced it could not accept the
French conditions for the confer-
ence. It added that it wanted neith-
er to accept nor reject the basis of
the French plan'.
A French foreign office spokes-
man said the Western European
countries were seeking to create “a
community of interests hitherto di-
vided and create a new authority
in which the nations will pool a
fraction of their sovereignty for
the common good.”
“It is the first time.in the his-
tory of the world,” the spokesman
said, “that countries whose divis-
ions have caused so many bloody
wars have joined together to create
amongst them this community of
interests that -will eliminate the
cause of wars and create the con-
ditions indispensable for produc-
tion and the raising of the stand-
ard of living of the peoples of
Europe.” 1

Predicts Atomic
Warheads for
Guided Missies
WASHINGTON (UP)— A high
defense official predicts that this
country will develop atomic war-
heads for artillery shells and guid-
ed missiles.
This high source indicated, how-
ever, that no actual atomic arti-
llery shell had been made as yet,
but is
stage.
Top Army officers are reported
reliably to believe that technical
use of such atomic weapons by
ground troops holds great poten-
tialities for strengthening Western
European defenses.
Defense Secretary Louis John-
son recently disclosed that this
country is developing a variety of
new atomic weapons for both tact-
ical and strategic use.
His statement led to speculation
that the new atomic weapons in-
cluded bombs that could be carried
by fighter planes. However, a high
official said that Air Force plans
now do not call for any planes
smaller that the B-47 and B-45
bombers carrying an atomic bomb.
The B-29 superfortress is the only
plane which has carried and drop-
ped atomic bombs.
Divorcee Steals
Veteran’s Check
FORT WORTH, June 6 (UP) —
A 42-year-old divorcee, who ad-
mitted she stole a World War I
veteran’s disability pension check
and used part of it to buy liquor,
was free today under $1,000 bond
to await trial in federal district
court.
Mrs. Era L. Southern, a Fort
Worth rooming house: operator,
pleaded guilty at preliminary hear-
ing to a charge of unlawfully in-
tercepting a letter and converting
the contents to her own use.
Mrs. Southern blamed hei plight
on her desire for alcohol. Specifi-
cally, she was accused of opening
an envelope addressed to a former
tenant of the rooming house and
taking a $60 jfovernment check
that later was cashed at a liquor
store.

Boy Exchanges
Blood with Victim
Leukemia; Is O. K.
NEW YORK, June 6 (UP)—
Doctors examined Louis Boy, a pa-
roled life-term convict recently, a
year after he exchanged blood with
a young leukemia victim, and said
he showed no trace of the deadly
blood disease.
Boy exchanged 16 pints of blood
with eight-year-old Marcia Slater
at Ossining, N. Y., Hospital last
June in a vain attempt to save
her life.
He has had a bi-monthly checkup
at Jewish Memorial Hospital since
the experiment. Doctors there said
its purpose was to develop a leu-
kemia strain in Boy for research.
But today, they pronounced him
in good health and said the exami-
nation showed the disease was not
communicable.
Boy, who previously had volun-
teered for other dangerous medical
experiment*, was pardoned by Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey soon after the
leukemia experiment.

to be several steps ahead of any
other small city in the West Cen-

none too much prominence in the
news columns but it will involve a
huge sum before it is completed.

TEXAS TORNADO—
(Continued front page 1)
the normal daily mean on that day
at 78. .
Texarkana reported its top maxi-
mum of 60 while Mineral Wells and
Waco had “high” 67s.
Weather observers said the “cool
wave” was caused by a cloud layer
mixed with thunderheads. It moved
across Texas from the northwest
and began losing its punch in the
Dallas area.
Most of Texas enjoyed the un-
usual weather. Only the far West-
ern and deep Southern sections
had summer weather. Presidio re-
corded 100 degrees and El Paso
had a 02.
Heavy Rain at Waco
Waco reported the heaviest
rainfall, 1.62 inches, yesterday.
Big Spring reported 1.04 inch.es for
the 24-hour period ending at 6:30
p.m. Monday, San Angelo 1.03,
and Austin 1.02. Abilene, Pales-
tine, Dallas and Lubbock had less
than an inch.
Skies were partly cloudy to
cloudy over most of the state this
morning except in the southwest
area where clear weather was re-
ported. Dalhart, Childress and Am-
arillo reported the early morning
low of 64 degrees.
Some additional rainfall reports
included 1.47 inches at Waco, 1.26
at Houston and one inch at Gal-
veston.
The weather bureau predicted
a let-up in the rains that have
soaked many sections of the state
the past few days.

bill as he did in 1046. The House
approved that bill over the veto
but opponents doubted if that
would happen again.
In decisions yesterday involving
perhaps 10,000,000,000 barrels of
oil reserves under the gulf’s
waters, the court held that neither
Texas nor Louisiana has a claim to
a well sunk beyond low water
mark.
The Texas case was decided 4 to
2, the Louisiana case 6 to 0. In
1947, the court ruled similarly in
a California case.
“The marginal sea is a national,
not a state concern,” Justice Will-
iam O. Douglas held in the major-
ity opinion. “The problems of com-
merce, national defense, relations
with other powers, war and peace
focus there.”
Must Transfer Oil Leases
The court gave the states and
federal government until Sept. 15
to - work dut a plan to put the
transfer of the states’ oil leases in
the hands of the national govern-
ment. They include 34 oil company
holdings in gulf wells producing
2,000,000 barrels of oil yearly.
Opponents of the state claims
were elated.
O’Mahoney, chairman of the
Senate interior committee, said he
hopes to start work at once on a
bill to legalize a system for hand-
ling the lands and the income from
the oil.
“I feel a substantial portion of
the royalties to be derived from
mineral wealth produced in the
submerged land should be dedi-
cated to the reduction of the na-
tional debt,” he said.
Gossett said he will go before
the House rules committee in about
two weeks to ask that the state be
sent to the floor for debate. The
measure gives the lion’s share of
the submerged lands to the states
with a split with the federal gov-
ernment beyond state limits run-
ning from three to 10 miles.
Texas Attorney General Price
Daniel said he will demand a re-
hearing of the case by the Supreme
Court. Texas officials said the de-
cision was a “terrible blow.”

Nerve Center of
National Gambling
Syndicate Raided
ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 6 (UP)—
A tip from Gov. Alfred E. Driscoll
of New Jersey set off a raid that
wiped out a major nerve center of
the national gambling syndicate,
officials said today.
Detachments of city, state and
county police joined in a lightning
raid yesterday on a handbook in
the northwest part of St. Louis
county. They seised two men end
large quantities of horserace para-
phernalia.
Among the contraband were
thousands of telegrams from bet-
tors in various parts of the coun-
try. The messages, placing bets on
horses at tracks throughout the
nation, were crammed into tigp
filing cases .and into cardboard
cartons lining the rear rooms ef
the handbook.
The two men arrested were Syd-
ney Wyman, 40, and Steve Monte-
felice, 43. County Prosecutor Stan-
ley Wallach described Wyman as
“current kingpin of the gambling
fraternity" and said he had been
listed in s little black book taken
some time ago from Los Angeles
gambling chief Mickey Cohen.
Both men were charged with op-
erating a handbook and released
under $1,000 bond pending a hear-
ing next Monday.

we didn’t even need the money,”
tie repeated.
- The robbery was committed
early. Sunday morning, Livesay
said, after he managed to slip
away from his newly bought home
without his wife hearing.
Livesay said he went to the
store, a few blocks away, opened
the doer with his key, and used
another key to quickly shut off
the burglar alarm.
He opened two safes by using
the combinations, and then used a
meat cleaver to batter the safes
so suspicion would be removed
from the nine persons in the store
who knew the combinations.
Detectives said it was the
silenced burglar alarm that first
placed Livesay under suspicion-! A
woman living near the store told
of hearing the alarm briefly. Livdf
say and an assistant were the only
store employes with keys to the
alarm box.

It may have been but a decade ago, or it may have been
far back in the “Twenties”.«. but sometime, somewhere,
a young man stood in the soft light of a Junetime morning
and repeated the words—“I do.”
Since that time, he has fought—without interruption
—for the place in the world he wants his family to occupy.
And it well may be that, out of the struggle, he has
lost just a bit of the sentiment that used to abide in his
heart—for success is a jealous master and exacts great
servitude.
/ But not when the Junetime comes—and, with it, that
anniversary of another June!
Then the work-a-day world, with its many tasks, is cast
abruptly aside; and sentiment—pure and simple—rules in
his heart once more.
And, because there are so many thousands of him, door-
bells are ringing this June throughout America . . * and
smiling boys in uniform stand, hats in hand, to deliver the
proofs of remembrance. And along with the beautiful
flowers, and the boxes of candy, and the countless other
gifts, some of those brides of other Junes will receive the
titles to new Cadillacs.
And, for them, there will be no other June like this—
save one alone. /
As your Cadillac dealer in this community—we’ve had
long practice in the art of keeping secrets. Why not come
see us today? You cah trust us not to tell!
