RICHMOND, Va. GB—Sen. Harry
F. Byrd, a bitter foe of New Deal-
Fair Deal spending, won a smash-
ing victory for re-nomination in
yesterday’s Democratic primary.
Byrd, who said the major issue
in the rough and tumble campaign
was “Trumanism,”-led his Oxford-
educated opponent, Francis Pick-
ens Miller, 210,625 to 124,803, on
the basis of returns from 1,673 of
the state’s 1,783 precincts.
The primary victory places the
senator in a strong position at the
Democratic State Convention in
Roanoke Thursday, when 28 dele-
gates will be named to the Demo-
cratic National Convention. Byrd
is supporting Sen. Richard Russell
of Georgia for the presidential
nomination.

PITTSBURGH GB—The nYmem

Pittsburgh Monday to decide the
union’s future course in the 45-day-
old stalemated strike that has idled
Ita million American wage earners.

sion with the industry ended in a
deadlock yesterday.
Murray and Joseph M. Larkin,
vicepreaident of Bethlehem Steel
Corp., Issued a Joint statement say-
ing both sides agree they can find
no common meeting ground on the
controversial union shop issue.
There was no Indication when an-
other meeting would be held.

and Millican.
Williams, who also witnessed
the crash from his home nearby,
said he believed the Swift waa
ahead of and below the DC-6 at
the point of contact.
‘‘It appeared to me that the big
plane descended upon the Swift,”
he commented. ‘‘The DC-6 nor
mally would be going much faster
than the small plane. In fact, I
don’t believe it possible for the
Swift to overtake the passenger
plane under the circumstances.’’
The passenger plane was only
slightly damaged in the collision
and made a safe landing.
Testimony introduced Tuesday
indicated that only one man was
on duty in the Love Field control
tower at the time of the mishap,
although two operators normally
are in the tower.

‘Cleanup’ Creates
New County Park
Site for a public park was being cleared and beautified today
by residents of the Lane Community, about five miles south of
Denton on the old Fort Worth Highway
Residents of the area, at a recent community meeting in the
M. C. Pearsall home, decided to create the park, in order to atop
the “thoughtless dumping of trash and cans" at the site and to
provide a place for recreation and outings.
The park will be located at the Hickory Creek crossing on
the old highway, on the oast side of the road and south of the creek.
V. D. Burch, owner, allowed the group the use of the land as
a park, which will embrace about two acres.
Mrs. Fred Madewell is chairman of the committee in charge
of plans for the park. Working with her are Raymond Knight
and Jack Madewell. Ten or 12 women of the community will co-
operate in beautifying the park by planting redbud trees, flowers
and shrubs.
“We have needed a park in the I-ane Community for a long
time,” said Mrs. Madewell. “Now with all of the folks working
together, it looks like our dreams tor a beautifully-landscaped
recreational area will come true.”
Jack Thompson, county commissioner of Precinct 3, promised
the group his full co-operation in the project.
Democratic precinct conventions, I
except for precinct 19, will be held
in the regular voting places at1
2:30 p. m. July 2&—primary elec-
tion day, W. C. Boyd Jr., county
Democratic chairman, said today.
Precincts 19 residents, who vote
at West Ward school, will meet in

convention, Boyd said.

MUNSAN, Korea (il — The Com*
muniita today obtained a two day
extension of a recess in secret
armistice talks shortly after the
Peiping Red radio broadcast “an
announcement that could lead to a
break in the deadlock over pris-
oners.
The broadcast said Foreign Min-
ister Chou En-lai announced Com-
munist China adhered — with cer-
tain reservations — to the Geneva
Convention of Aug. 12, 19«0, deal-
ing with war prisoners.
The broadcast seemed to sug-
gest that the Communists might
agree to transfer of Red war pns
oners who refuse to go borne to a
mutually agreeable third protective •
power or a substitute organisation
such as the all-Swiss International
Committee of the Red Crocs.
More than half of the 170,000
Red prisoners in United Nations
stockades have declared them-
selves unwilling to return to North
Korea and Red China. The U. N.
says it will not force them back.
The Communists demand their re-
turn.

comment on the Peiping broad-
cast.

Stephens said he noticed the
planes getting closer to each
other. He said he then ordered:
‘‘Bonanza, give way right or left.”
As the planes continued to ap-
proach each other;fStephens order-
ed: “Turn right or left immediate-
ly.”
The planes collided a few sec-
onds later. The Swift, a wing shorn
off, crashed to a street near lx>ve
Field. The airliner, only shghtly
damaged, made a safe landing.
Thirteen witnesses testified
Tuesday, first day of the CAB
hearing which is being held in the
Mercantile National Bank Build-
i ing auditorium here.
C. E. (Buzz) Ballard, of 9603
Larga Drive, Dallas, a former
Denton resident and graduate of
North Texas State College, testi-
fied that the smaller plane ap
paared to overtake the DC 6 from
a point slightly above and to the
big ship. He said be believed the
Swift was above the DC-6 and
veered downward Just before the
impact.
Substantially the same evidence
was given by P. D. Millican of
9531 Larga Drive, who said: “The
smaller plane was coming in at
a fast rate of speed—apparently
faster than that of the DC-6, and
appeared to bank sharply to the
left just before the crash.”
Larga Drive is northwest of the
airport, near the area where the
Denton plane plunged to earth.
But the testimony given by N
H. Williams, aviation safety agent
with the Dallas office of CAA, di-
rectly conflicted with the eyewit-
given by Ballard
Salary adjustments were in ef
feet today for three Denton police
officers and six patrolmen. . ---

Infection Described
As Not Serious, But
Appointments Cancelled
WASHINGTON UB — President
Truman entered the Army's Walter
Reed Hospital today for a check-
up
The President was stricken with
a mild virus infection on Sunday.
It had ben described by his aides
as not serious, but all his appoint-
ments had been cancelled this
week.
Press Secretary Joseph Short
told reporters the President may
remain at the hospital for “two
or three days "
The virus infection, Short said,
has been pretty much cleared up
He said Truman's fever “has about
gone." .
The President left the White
House at 5:40 a.m. (CST) and en-
tered the hospital 20 minutes later.
He was accompanied by Maj. Gen.
Wallace H. Graham, presidential
physician.
Whitt House reporters could not
recall that Truman ever entered
a hospital for as long as two or
three days since he became Presi-
dent more than seven years ago.
Truman was admitted to the
presidential suite at the big mili-
tary hospital in northwest Wash-
ington.
This marked the first time the
suite was used by the President
since it was prepared for him sev-
eral years ago.
It has been used by others, in-
cluding Gen. George C. Marshall
and Premier Mohammed Mossa-
degh of Iran.
- Short said the President was
well enough to shave and dress
hirftoelf before t ’ ‘ „
pital in hia big btaek limousine.
It was Graham's decision that
Truman go to the hospital.
The decision, coming five days
before the start of the Democratic
National Convention, could hiv-
some influence on the results of
the convention. Many Democrats
believe that an announcement by
Truman as to whom be favors
for the perty’s nomination for
Preaident would decide the issue.
Truman has said repeatedly he
would not accept the nomination.
At one time he noted that ho will
soon be 69 years old and that the
preaidency is a “man-killing job.”
Frank McKinney, Democratic
national chairman, aaid Truman
told him:
“You wouldn’t want to see me
carried out of here (the White
Houae) in a pine-board box, would
you?”
The Democratic chairman
nounced the appointment
Earl Wilcoxin, who will fill the
post of J. G. Schoppaul temporarily
in the Double Oak Precinct 6.
Schoppaul will be unable to attend
affairs due to his illnesa.
Tom Whitley was appointed to
fill the Pilot Point Precinct 24, from
which Leo Selz resigned.

sentee voting in the County Clerk’s

"About the same time,” Ste-

radio signal and something about
a straight-in approach.”
Stephens said there was a mo-
ment of silence. He looked up and
saw an unidentified aircraft, which
he thought was a Beechcraft Bo-
nanza.
The plane actually was Brower’S
