At the time of this writing re-
. port of catches had not been re-
ceived bat many boats were bein*
launched lute yesterday, and V\
H. Sharpe was stocking with min-
nows for the day. The water was
murkey, just beginning to clear
around the edges, but this was not
daunting the fishermen. A num-
ber her* were expecting guests
from oat of town to go fishing.
Jack Nlfrrill said a friend of his
railed yesterday afternoon from
Abilene and asked about the con-
dition of the water. "I will tell you
the truth". Jack replied, "it is
muddy".
| "Well. I am coining anyway."
th * friend replied. And that ap
peared to be the spirit of the oc-

IN Ft RTHKR CONNECTION
with th* new lake. Mayor Marvin
Naylor this morning was in re-
ceipt of a letter from Simon
Freest* .wtting forth details on
the basis of which he would ac-
cept the engineering job of get-
ting water from th'- lake to town.
TTie last meeting of the City Com-
mission was recessed in order to
take up the matter of selecting
an engineering firm at that meet-
ing and Mayor Naylor said the
matter will be gone into today, and
a d-al probably will be worked
otil.
The letter specified some $7,100
for the job, but there are some
services includi d that will not be
needed by the city which would
lower this figure if agreement is
reached on that basis.

Gamblers Files
Open To Probers
WASHINGTON, June I (Kir.—
President Truman today promised
to open the confidential federal
income tax files of gamblers and
racketeers being ferreted out by
senate crime investigators.
Sen. Estes Kefauver, D.. Tenn.,
chairman of the senate investigat-
ing committee, said after a white
house call that the president to-
day gave his committee "a full
go-ahead, with full speed and full
cooperation" in the crime invest-
igation.
It r< quires an executive order
by the president to open tax files
to the investigators. Kefauver said
"the executive order
now."
Fishing opened at Lake Daniel
early today and the morning report
was that crappie and catfish were
being taken, but most of the fish-
ermen were out and stt adily at it
shortfly before noon, and a com-
prehensive report on catches was
not available.
The water was muddy, whic|i
may have had to do with a late
report on bass, but the fact that
crappie were being caught was in-
teresting.
Don Berry said this morning that
the lake was stocked with bass arid
catfish but that no crappie were
put in, for it was held they were
already there and would multiply
plenty fast. The fact that they
were being taken appeared to bear
this out.
a drive to the lake about dusk
yesterday revealed boats being
launched and preparations being

AUSTIN, Tex., June 1 <u.r —
The University of Texas prepared
today to award degrees to its
largest graduating class in history,
a group comprising some 1,900
students.
Gov. Allan Shivers will deliver
s in the works 14b*' commencement address to gra-
j duating students Saturday night

terrace.
Coupled with the 1,1:11 degrees
conferred in January, the June
graduating class will bring to more
than 3,000 the number of degrees
awarded during the 1949 - 1950
school year.
With the Saturday night cere-
mony, the university will top the
50,000 mark in the number of gra-
duates in the school's history.

Waco Population
WACO, June 1 <U.fR— Russell Cox,
chairman of the Waco census ad-

group, says he has learned that
metropolitan Waco's population

865. Mayor L. M. Crow said he
had received a report that set pop-
ulation of the city proper at

made as fast as possible for the
opening day. The lake was dotted
with boats today.
The new road to the lake on the
west side had been completed and
takes the fisherman to the site of
the small dock erected by W. H.
Shapre, concessionaire. Sharpe,
who has also t rected a concrete
minnow tank, said' he had 2,000
minnows last night and expected
4,000 more this morning.
The new road to the lake should
be taken for the cut-off to the
dam on the old road has been clos
ed off and continuing straight a-
head leads to the graveyard, where
the road running beside it has been
closed off by high water.
A camp site off the new road
just before it reaches the lake had
been cleared. By driving both road
ways, however, a better idea of
the size of the lake is gained, es-
pecially when it is realized that the
land and trees seen immediately
south of the dam is an island, and
there is as much water on one side
of it as on the other.
German Youths
Finally Weaken
And Return Home
BERLIN. June 1 'u.R Nine
Thousand Communist youth dele-
gates returned to western Germ-
any from a Berlin rally today and
meekly submitted to the registra-
tion and medical examinations they
had threatened to resist with force.
At the British-Soviet zonal bor-
der crossing point near Leubeck
as in Berlin last week-end, the
Communists backed down when
western forces called their bluff.
The Communists originally had
threatened to turn last week-end's
East Berlin rally into a putsch
attempt against western Berlin.
They changed their plans after the
west said it would meet force with
force.
The west also decided to retal-
iate in kind for Russia's virtual
closure of the canal linking Berlin
and western Germany. The Rus-
sians nre allowing only two barges
a day instead of the customary 11
to pass the Whittrnberg check
ooint on the Russian-British zonal
border.
West Berlin authorities retal-
iated by announcing that they will
detain east German barges pars-
ing through western Berlin canal
locks up to 24 hours at n time.
Passengers On
Train Terrified
By Man With Gun
PHOENIX. Ariz., June I <U.R—
year-old merchant sailor pul-
gun-in. it crowded Southern
acifie railroad coach early today
and h«'ld the terrified passengers
at bay for more than an hour be-
fore he was taken off the train.
City and railroad detectives pul-
led the gunman, identified as H.
P. Huff, Polkville; Miss., off the
train at Union Station here and
jailed him on suspicion of assault
with a deadly weapon.
Detective Capt. Charles Smith
said no shots were fired as. the
suspect paced the Sunset Limited
coach while the train sped across
t'ne desert Jjetwren here and Yuma.
About 25 persons were in the car.
Smith said Huff pulled a gun
from his suitcase when he became
annoyed by a baby's crying. He
ordered the baby's mother to ke;p
it quiet.
A few moments later, he threat-
ened the passengers in the car
when a porter started to turn out
th" lights. Smith quoted the gun-
man as saying the porter and con-
ductor were ganging up on him
and intended to kill nim with an
ice pick.
The gunman ordered the porter
ard conductor from the car while
the eastbound train was traveling
between Yuma and Hyder. He al-
■o ordered the baby's mother to
leave the car and allowed two
other women to move to another
coach when they became hyster-
ical d"t< ctives said.
At Hyder, a small station on the
desert east of Yuma trainmen drop
ped a message and police were
waiting for the train when it pul
led into Phoenix.
Special railroad detective A. C.
Burns and a group of city ditec-
tives jumped aboard t'ne train here.
Officers found Huff cowering be-
tween two seats.
The«uspect offered no resistance
when officers approached and or
derrd him to drop his gun. He was
handcuffed and led from the train.

JOHNSON ASKS EXTENSION OF
IMF! TO KEEP H. S. STRONG
Baby Boy Drowns
STEVESTON," B. C., June 1 <EP>
—.John M. Spalding, 4, fell off a
wharf and was drowned yesterday,
three years after his parents were
drowned when their fishing bout
overturned.
WASHINGTON, June I 'U.R
Defense secretary Louis Johnson
today asked extension of the p> ace-
time draft to make it "clearly un-
derstandable" to the world "that
we propose t o keep ourselves
strong." - -- - -
Johnson told the Senate armed
services committee that t'ne I'J IS
draft law "was one of the decisive
factors in stopping 'uhe spread of
Communism in Europe."
Arid, he added, 'the need to make
that manifestation of our determ-
ination continuously clear persists."
He asked for a three-year ex-
tension of the law scheduled to
die June 24. The House hav voted
a two-year extension—with a pro-
vision blocking the actual induc-
tions until Congress by joint res-
olution declares that an emerg-
ency exists.
In effect, the House bill would
provide merely a compulsory reg-
istration and classification pro-
gram for males 18 to 25.
The defense secretary gave four
main reasons for continuing peace-
time conscription authority:
1. The possible effect abroad of
failure to extend the act."
2. A "precious savings in time
if an emergency should require a
return to inductions."
M. "It will guarantee a strong
military posture."
4. "It will materially assist the
maintenance of strong reserve
forces."
Johnson told the Senate group
that many recent incidents indicate
it would be the "height of folly"
to drop the draft. He cited the
Russian atomic explosion, the fall
of Nationalist China, the rupture
in diplomatic relations with Bui
garia, unrest in Southeast Asia,
"deteriorating relations" with oth
er Russian satellites, Russian nav-
al expansion, and the recent shoot-
ing down of an American navy
pi-—" in **ie Baltic.
The military has asked extension
ot th<
raft without restrictions.
Sentence Delayed
On Man's Request
new yV>RK. June (U.r)—a
Judge must decide today on Gam-
illo Leyra's request to be sentenced
only for the murder of his father
because he wants his murdered
mother's soul "to rest in peace."
Judge Samuel Leibowitz post-
poned sentencing the 50-year-old
manufacturer for slaying his aged
parents yesterday in order to study
a plea made by defense counsel
Lee Healy.
"I beg you to pronounce your
sentence only for the death of the
father," Healy said. "Leyra's moth-
er in Heaven should never feel
that her own son was sentenced for
killing her. I know she would say
the same thing if she were here.'
The attorney said he had been
unable to find legal precedent for
sentencing a killer for the murder
of both parents. Liebowitz agreed
that "there is no crime more shock-
ing than when a son spills his
mother's blood.".
Leyra mumbled "I'm innocent,
I'm innocent" during the lawyer's
olea. He was convicted May 10 of
beating his 74-year-old father, Ca-
millo, Sr., and mother, Catherine,
80, to death last January when
they threatened to disinherit him.
The death sentence is mandatory.

Yank Flier Loses 75 Pounds In
Six Months In Communist Prison
The first colonists of
were British convicts.
HONG KONG, June 1 <U.R)—A-
merican flier James McGovern said
today he lost 75 pounds while be-
ing held incommunicado by the
Chinese Communists. He was im-
prisoned for six months after his
plane made a forced landing in
Communist territory during the
Nationalist retreat from the main-
land.
McGovern, of Elizabeth, N. J.,
arrived in Hong Kong yesterday
after a week's journey from Man-
nig, in Kwangsi Province, where
he was released and sent under
guard to Canton. He told his story
to the press today.
McGovern was forced down Dec.
4 while flying a cargo of tin out
of South China in a plane of Maj.
Gen. Claire L. Chennault's civil
air transport line.
Captured by the Indo-Chinese
Communists, he was- turned over
Tasmaniato the Chinese Communists and
held for the major pnrt of his im-
prisonment in'a hotel in Ann:iv*
150 miles north of the Indo-Ch: i
ese border.
McGovern said he was not i
treated during his captivity . b
that life was "pretty miserabh .
for the first four months, he s; i.!
he had nothing to eat but leftov>
from the table of Communists of!
cers who lived at the hotel.
He was given one packagi ■■
cigarettes a day, McGovern sa <
but was permitted to leave th
hotel only once a month and the
under heavy gaurd.
He wore the same clothing to
the first four months after hi
captivity, McGovern said, and \vhi1
these were being laundered he Ire
nothing to wear but a bath tnw<
McGovern said he decided t
grow a beard "the day somber!
stole my razor." He said he

He said the program "must con-

the total foreign policy of the Un-
ited States."
The hard hitting report blamed
Russia foi making arms aid necess-
ary, saying;
"The Soviet 1,'nioa has dedicated
itself to the destruction of Demo-
cracy afwj everything which it r- -
presents, and is waging a grim
struggle to niake the entire free
world slave. No nation can be

everyone.
The task will require more than
plans, promises and hope, it wiU
demand the best and most that
every free nation can contribute,
in itself the program is not a
panacea which will cure the world'.,
ills, nor will it singlehanded end
the cold war or assure success ia
a hot war. Combined, however,
with the tireless efforts of alKfree
nations amr with our own contri-
