The U.S. State Department dis-
closed July 29 that the Peiping
regime had contemptuously turned
down American protests on both
that incident and a subsequent
fighter attack on two American
rescue planes in which the attack-
ers were shot down
The protests were relayed by
the British charge d'affaires, Hum-
phrey Trevelyn. The Chinese would
not accept them from his hand.
Informants here said Trevelyn
had sought anew to deliver Wash-
ington’s protest, but the Commu-
nists refused for the second time
even to consider it.
The United States does not rec-
ognize Red China and has no dip-
lomatic dealings with the Peiping
government.
U.S. Secretary of State Dulles
said Tuesday the Chinese had put
themselves in the wrong by re*
fusing the protests.

The carnival, at North Elm and i

activity and is planned, sponsored
and staffed by local members. The

Proceeds from the carnival will

He said that Texas has one of
the lowest tax systems in the na-
tion and that there is no state in-
come tax or sales tax. "But, if
that other crowd gets in you can
bet that we'll have e sales tax and
an income tax," McCraw said.
Dillard, who is on leave of ab-
sence es secretary of the Baylor
University Alumni Association,
proceeded McCraw's address with
a brief introductory speech.
Mrs. Floyd Still

Mrs. J. B. Floyd, the most ser-
iously injured of four persons In-
volved in a Highway 24 accident
Sunday near Decatur, was still
in poor condition today at Flow
Memorial Hospital where she was

Her husband and mother were

administration.
Speaking of the governor’s oppon-
ent, McCraw said that "any ordi-
nary man ought to have sense
enough to quit after losing the
governor’s race once."
McCraw explained that "this no
third term business is just a
bunch of tall talk." A term of
office is just a number of yeats,
he said, adding that nearly every
different political office in the
state has a different number of
years that make up a term. He
urged the group to apeak of years,
not terms.
"Besides, the governor’s race
+—. —
“opposition is well organized and
well financed by outside interests.”
Joe W. Nichols, Denton, in a
later talk explained that "the CIO
and not labor is backing that other
crowd.”
Dillard said that "we made a
mistake in the primary by being
too optimistic. That’s the reason
we are in this runoff now and the
situation is down to where we have
to win through personal contacts.’’
He suggested that conservative
Democrats "saddle new horses and
throw them into the race."
He suggested that the group
form a steering committee to en-
list persons to work in the cam-
paign. "I think we can change a
lot of votes," he said.
“We’ve got to face facts,” he
said, adding that “a lot of people
voted for Yarborough, but they’re
not too happy about it now."
Fred Minor, in a short speech to
the group, said that Shivers should
carry Denton County by 1,000 votes
in the runoff.
