The Kiwanis Club in sponsoring its "Fall Show” is

worthy cause. Friday night in the High School auditorium
the club presents an outstanding stage entertainment

in these two projects. Here is your chance to see a good

To Carry On •
The President apparently has be-
come reconciled to the results of
the election and is ready to carry
on. His attitude was described by
friends thusly—
"We are going to do from day to
day what is best for the welfare
of the country.”
Democratic sources said that Mr.
Truman did not intend to change
the American constitutional system
by executive fiat. They said he be-
lieves his resignation would involve
a change —
Neither can the President con-
ceive of how the Republicans could
select a successor without an elec-
lion.
Mr Truman, it was said, has no
idea of forming a coalition gov-
ernment by bringing Republicans
into top level positions. A report
that he might do so was an appar-
l ent by-product of the Fulbright
proposal.

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y.; Nov. 7.
(DM—The United States today chalf
lensed other United Nations to es-
tablish the UN trusteeship council
without delay, and warned against
any effort. to “import the veto
system" into the UN general as-
sembly's deliberations over the trus-
teeship program for dependent
peoples.
The American delegation to the
assembly proposed that the 51 Unit-
ed Nations shelve for the present a
potentially explosive argument over
an "awkward and ambigious" phrase
in the UN charters provisions for a
worldwide trusteeship system.
Reportedly anticipating a Soviet
move to demand a specific definition
of the charter provisions and give
each of the Big Five powers the
right to approve or disapprove all
draft trusteeship agreements, John
Foste Dulles of the American dele-
gation told the assembly’s trustee-
ship committee that an effort to
define the charter now wold “give
to argument and delay.”
Dulles outlined American policy
on trusteeship in the wake of the
United States announcement that it
wants sole trusteeship over Japan-
ese-mandated islands in the Pa-
cific. with the right to close off
all or part of them for secret mili-

Yugoslav Offer
On Trieste is
Made Known
I ’
I Italy May Release
! Rights in Return for
I City of Gorizia
ROME, Nov. 7. (U.P„Palmiro
Togliatti, Italian Communist lead-
ter. told the Communist-newspaper
I Units today that Marshal Tito is
I ready to give Trieste tq Italy if
Yugoslavia gets Gorizia.
Togliatti made no statement after
returning from a hurried unoffic-
tial trip to Belgrade. The Iulian
foreign office said his trip had not
been an official mission
"Marshal Tito told me that he is
disposed to give Trieste to Italy if
[the Italian republic gives Gorizia
[to Yugoslavia," Togliatti said “The
M>ly condition which Tito makes is
pthat Trieste receives an autonomous
status of a democratic nature which
will permit the people of Trieste
to govern their own city and their
territory according to democratic
principles."
Inland City
Gorizia lies inland, approximately
28 miles northwest of Trieste. It
i lies astride the railroad line north
i from Trieste to Southern Austria.
It was the scene of extensive fight-
i ing during the first World War
when held by the Austro-Hungarian
army.
I Togliatti told Unita, "the time has
come to place an end to discord
(between Italy and Yugoslavia, which
must collaborate to free themselves
'once and for all at all imperialistic
oppression and live a free and
happy life.
"After all. Italy has granted an
autonomous regime to the Val
D’Aosta, and (Premier Alcide)
Degasperi has promised Austrian
foreign Minister (Karli Gruber to
give a similar regime to the Tyrol.
It would seem very strange that a
man who is always ready to speak
of autonomy should deny it in this
ease."

CHICAGO. Nov. 7 (U.»—An un-
employed football coach sought
$100,000 damages from his former
employer today on grounds that
his football reputation had been
slandered: «
Richard E (Dick) Hanley filed
suit in Superior Court yesterday
against John L. Keehin. owner
of the Chicgago Rockets, profes-
sional f of ba ll team of the All-
America League.
Hanley, original head coach of
the Rockets now playing their in-
augural seasori, charged that the
allegedly slanderous statements
were made during a dispute which
i resulted in Hanley's leaving the,
I team as coach.
He said Keeshan told sports
writers Sept. 25 that the players
had voted 32 to 1 against his re-.
1 tention as head coach and general
manager. •
Hanley said the statement was
"false" and had been taken to
mean that the players voted for
his removal because of incompe-
tence.
Hanley, one-time coach of North-
western's foothall team, was suc-
eeeded aw Rockets’ coach by a
three-man committee of player-
coaches Pat Boland, one of Han-
ley’s former assistants, recently
replaced the player-coaching com-
mittee as head coach. '
Tuberculosis tests have been given
! to 2,000 students, teachers, cooks and
janitors in the Cleburne schools this
week, Miss Marjorie Bothwell, coun-
ty health nurse, said today.
Process on the skin tests is that the
• patch is worn for 8 period of 48
"hours. When the patch is removed

■mall blisters under the two end
, squares indicates a positive re-
l action. The center square. Miss
Bothwell explains, is a control and
i has no significance to tuberculosis.
A positive reaction does not mean
, that the child or individual has
| tuberculosis. However, it does
meen, the nurse said, that there is
a possibility the individual may I
have it.
Only by careful medical exam-
| ination and in some cases x-ray is
It possible to diagnose tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis skin tests are being
conducted throughout the county,
the first public health measure in
the county in many years.

Charlie Johnson, local Negro who
was sentenced to 50 year* in prison
by a district court jury here Oct.

from county jail here today
when he was driven by Deputy
Sheriff Carl Collins to the court-
house, where his attorney Doss
Hardin filed a motion for a new
trial before District Judge Penn
Jackson.
Judge Jackson promptly over-
ruled the motion and Hardin made
his exception and asked for a hear-
ing on his six bills of exception
promptly before he filed a notice of
appeal with the court of criminal
appeals in Austin. The defense
counsel, according to law, has 30
days in which to file his appeal
Judge Jackson, who has been or-
dered by Presiding Judge Roy Arch-
er. to hold court in Waco for two
weeks, from Nov. 11 until Nov. 22,
told Hardin he would set a date on
the hearing of the bills Nov. 25, but
added that he would review the rec-
ord and possihly would allow the
appeal of the case to be filed before
Nov 25.
Meanwhile, Johnson must remain
in jail without bond, as his 50-year
sentence precludes his posting bond.

AUSTIN, Tex., Nov. 7. QU.R—Texas
needs at least 9,000 school teach-
ers. Chas. M Rogers of Amarillo,
retiring president of the Texas
State Teachers' Association, said
here today
“if our public schools could em-
ploy immediately all of the stu-
dents in the colleges and universities
of Texas that are preparing to be
teachers. we would not relieve our
great shortage" Rogers said.
"We must raise salaries in Texas
high enough to encourage those in
college to enter teaching as their
chosen profession. I cannot see
any other solution to the problem "
' Rogers released results of a sur-
vey made by the association. Re-
plies to a questionnaire were receiv-.
ed from 1,038 school superintendents
who represent 35.874 teaching posi-
tions. or about 78 per cent of the
state total.
These answers showed that the
turn-over in teacher personnel this
year is greatest in Texas school his-
tory. Rogers Mid. More than a
fourth of the teachers were new in
their joos when school rooms open-
ed this fall, he Mid.
The survey statistics showed that
in the 35,874 teaching positions
covered by answers, there were
9,272 teachers new-in the system
1.230 vacancies when the schools
opened, 5,730 sub-standard teachers
for the positions they filled and
2,157 classes being taught with more
than 40 pupils to a class.

WASHINGTON, Nov 7. (u.p—
Authoritative Democratic quarters
said today President Truman has
absolutely no intention of resigning.
■ They Mid suggestions that he do so
were "utterly fantastic."
The suggestion that he resign after
namig a Republican Secretary of
State who would then succeed him
originated with Sen William J.
Fulbright, D., Ark. Fulbright's sug-
gestion was made on the basis of
the Republican landslide in Tuesday's
election.
Amazed At Proposal
Most Democratic leaders here ex-
pressed amazement at the proposal.
This much was known definitely—
Mr Truman has no idea of quitting
adn the recommended resignation
has never been considered at aU seri-
ously. -
Mr. Truman plans to spend he
next two years in the White House
following a simple formula—acting
in a way he considers good for the
country.
