THIS offer Of withdrawal i-> not
the first that has been made
In a governor's race in Texas. In
1928. former governor Miriam A,
Ferguson issued a withdrawal
challenge to Dan Moody, who then
•was attorney general and a can-
didate for governor,
'Others in the race were Lynch
Davidson. O. F. Zimmerman, Mrs
Kate M. Johnston and Mrs. Edith
Wilmttns.
Mrs. Ferguson proposed t°
Moody In a campaign speech that
if she did not ieadiihim In the first
democratic primary election. she
would withdraw provided Moody
would agree to withdraw if site
had more votes than he. received
in the first primary. Moody ac-
cepted the challenge, also in a
campaign speech.
\flplS. Ferguson and Moody were
clearly the leading candidates
so the offer in substance amount-
ed to an agreement to do away
with a runoff primary election.
Moody received 109,732 votCii in
* he July primary of 1.926, Mrs,
Ferguson received 283,482. The
total vote case for all candidates
for governor 821.234. Moody lack-
zed less than 3,000 votes cf a ma-
jority, and a majority would have
eliminated a run off primary re-
gardless of Mrs. Ferguson's pro-
posal.
Mrs, Ferguson announced, how-
ever, that she never had receiv-
ed acceptance of the offer from
Moody, and insisted on the run-off
election being held in August.
Result of this second primary
election was 405,723 votes for
Moody and 270,595 for Mrs. Fer-
guson.
THERE can be no dispute about
the ternvi of the Sadler with-
drawal offer He has put it in writ
Ing in addition to announcing it
from the campaign platform awl
radio broadcast.
The offer is:
"If (lovenot O'Daniel will call
the legislator in session, rerun,
mend the Sadler tax program and
nothing else, stay with that pro-
gram until i! is passed, then i
give you my wotd tint I will K't
out of this race and suppoi t
O'Daniel for governor.'"
The Sadler t .v plan iv
An additional tax of 2 11 cents
a barrel on oil; a tax of one cent
a thousand mbn- feet on natural
gua; a:; increase of 22 cents a ton
on sulphur, and amendments U

lo match teacher retirement con-
tributions bv school teachers.

Sollbal lers Drop
Opening Thriller
Eastland Dry Cleaners
To Be Met In City
Friday Night
Although they lost the opening
game of the home season, the
Breckenridge Oilers furnished a
good-sized crowd at City Soft-
ball Park last night with plenty
of thrills and good Softball. Bjt
young J. D. Brown had too much
on the ball, and he pitched the
Texas Printens cf A';;lene to a 6-0
victory over the Oilers, registering
II strikeouts and allowing only 8
hits.
The game was much closer than
the score indicates, and for Six
innings the Oilers trailed by only
onc run, but Bull Durham, their
capable hard-pitching twirler, tir-
ed in the la>3t two innings and the
Printers pushed across five runs
to ice the game away.
Determined to get in the win
column early on the home field,
the Oilers will tangle with the
Modern Dry Cleaners of Eastlmd
at the City Softball Park Friday
night, beginning at 8 o'clock al-
though this starting time is sub-
ject to change before then, per-
haps being moved up to 8:30
o'clock. The Eastland club has an
impressive rccord and will furnish
the Oilers wiih some good compct
ition. Judv Jenkfns is slated tor
mound duty for the Breckenridge
ten.
The Punters pushed across the
first run of the game in the ncc-
ond inning last tiight when George
Carley got on base on a walk,
went to third after Wcldon Bran-
lion took in a high foul fly back
of third "ase by Slcuch Button
and threw to second to catch Car-
ley attempting to make a bass
after the catch, the ball eluding
second baseman Woody Dinsmore.
Herb Cheek followed with a sin-
gle to score Carley.
For four innings both teams
were helplcos at hat before Brown
and Durham's fine pitching, bu'
in the seventh the Printers tall-
ied twice more. Hook Russell drew
a pass, went to third on a single
by Dub Estes. Estes stole 'second
Russell scored and Estes went to
third on an infield out, and ELtes
scored on a p asod ball to make
it 3-0 for the Printers.
The Oilers made several deter-
mined bids to tic the game or re-
gain the lead, but Brown, using
an effective rising fast ball, would
come through with a scries of

BOMBED BY ITALIANS h*.
The Allies carry the war to Italy as Nazis pound at the stubborn
Paris defenses. The British naval base on the isle of Malta, im-
portant because of its strategic position along the English trade-
routes to the East, has been bombed repeatedly by Italian pianos
but Allied bombers struck deep in the industrial section of northern
Italy in retaliation.
.Members of the Breckenridge Chamber of Commerce, who at-
tended the luncheon Wednesday at Brownwood, had brought to them
by three speakers a picture of the magnitude of the state park to be
placed on the Possum Kingdom dam lak/e that probably astounded
many, although all had heard there would be a park there.
They got a still tetter idea when<s: ,
they inspected the park at Brown-
wood and were told the state park
near here will be approximately
ten timo3 larger than that.
Frank Quinn, secretary of the
state park board, said the park
near Breckenridge will consist of
5,000 acres while that at Brown-

luncheon. They know how to get
things done, he said, intimating
M. | that never ibefore had there been
such park action, as on this one.

Dairymen Given
Praetical Tests
What is expected to be a form-
ation of a number of similar meet
ings was that held Tuesday even-
ing at Harpersvillc when dairy-
men were given practical demon-
strations and educational talks.
About fourteen dairymen of that
community were present and
about forty samples of milk were
tested for gutter fat, the report
being that the tests ran the gamut
of high and low.

while the Nazis drove full spcedahcad along a 2CQ mile front on both
sides of Paris
The spokesman admitted a counter attack at the present is un-
likely, and revealed a plan to declare Paris an open city. Fighting
will continue at the outskirts but no attempt will be made to defend
the heart of city loaded, with hHpless civilians.
The French also said the Germans arc pouring fresh troops into
the battle at a 3-1 ratio against® —
the dog-tired French troops. Pre-
mier Paul Reynaud, in a belated
published message, gave Roosevelt
a pledge that France will fight to
the bitter end.
The day's outstanding develop-
ment. Germans said, was the cap-
ture of Chalons on the Maine, 26
miles southeast of Reims. Shalons
is an important rail and comm tn-
ication head, and may cut off the
Verdun fortress which controls
the Maginot line.
German pressure on Paris eased
today as the Nazis hold positions
12 miles in front of the capital.
However pressure on !:oth sides
continued and encirclement seem-
ed imminent.
Meanwhile, Italy played a small
role in the raging battle. A sec-
ond communique said Italians
bombed Riviera, French naval
base at Toulon, and Bizerta.
Egypt said it would go to war
if the country is attacked on
land or by air and broke diplo-
matic relations with Italy.

Illness Fatal To
Former Editor
FORT WORTH, June 13. dJ.R)-
James Listen, 58, former editor of
the Fort Worth Record and form-
er city editor, died today after a
long illness.
WASHINGTON, tU.R) —The Fed-
eral Bureau of Investigation is op-
erating against subversive forces
in the United States under near-
war-time authority granted b y
Fresident Roosevelt.
The Chief Executive followed up
his proclamation of a national
emergency last fall with an order
designating the FBI as the clear-
ing house for information concern-1
ing espionage, sabotage, subversive
activities, and violations of the
neutrality l&ws.
J. Edgar (Hoover, chief of the
bureau, has established a general
intelligence Idivision within the
FBI to /direct its far-flung activi-
ties to preserve the national de-
fense against foreign agents.
Although there have been
charges that Hoover is establish-
ing a -National Police, the file -of
subversive forces contains on.v
aoout 2,500 names.
During a single year, G-Mcn
touched approximately 60,000 per-
nglisn j sons jn their investigations. Th--
group comprises only .0004 of 1
per cent of the population.
FBI investigations, during tne
same year, resulted in 5,162 convic-
tions—or one conviction for every
12 persons investgatcd. Consider-
ing the fact that G-Alcn must in-
vestigate groundless suspicious and
malicious charges along with boi-.-.
tide complaints, Attorney General
Robert H. Jackson did not feel
that "the bureau has been throw-
ing its net very far l'rom the mark.
"We have found that these in-
vestigative activities cannot b3
handled properly by either inex-
perienced or self-serving groups'-,
Hoover said. "We think Lhcy
should be hand Wj 1 by regularly
const.tuLcd Iruiv, enforcement autn- ,
orilics, Federal, state, or local,
and they should not be delegated
to groups of individuals who may
be thoroughly sincere in their .mo-
tives, but who are not trained in
handling Ivv.ork of this character.*
