credit to the rain. "The rains have brought more people into
town and made them more hopeful,” he said.
A variety store manager said that business was unusually
good for him Saturday up until about 2:30 p.m. when it started,
tapering off. Another manager noted that business was well above
average all morning Saturday, but started tapering off after
noon.
A drug store manager credited his good business Saturday
to the rains and out-of-town high school students at NTSC and

Jimmie has been taken to Dal-

His injuries included a brain

For Defense
Against Reds ;
WASHINGTON, May 1 u-Sen.
ate Majority Loader Knowland of
California, voicing obvious criti-
cism of British policy, today called
on the United States to move at
once for a coalition defense against
communism in Asia even if this
means seting without one of our
major allies.
Knowland said in an interview
that the Reds have laid down at
the OGeneva conference "abject
surrender" terms for the free
world if it wants peace in South-
east Asia. But Britain’s Prime
Minister Churchill has balked at
any “united action" against com-
munism in Indochina until after
the Geneva conference.
Kmn A uc merchants credit rain for

Such "united action" has* been
asked by Secretary of State Dulles.
While not mentioning Britain by
name, Knowland declared:
"I don’t believe we should give
any single nation a veto over the
vital security interests of this coun-
try. It would be unthinkable to
surrender to another nation the
power for its prime minister to
say what the United States should
do.
“Our so-called allies should be
called upon to indicate in advance
just what they are prepared to do
in collective action. But we must
move despite any position they
take." .
Knowland’s statement was the
latest evidence of great congres-
sional anxiety over the whole Indo-
china question, especially on the
point of whether the United States
should dispatch its own armed
forces to aid the embattled French
and Indochinese.
Rep. Vorys of Ohio, a senior
GOP member of the House Foreign
Affairs Committee, predicted that
committee would write restrictions
on the use of American troops in
combat zones despite President
Eisenhower's opposition.

Nguyen Quoc Dinh was on the out-

statesmen the delicate diplomatic
problem of seating Viet Nam rep-

representatives of the Communist-
led Vietminh regime.
Bao Dai, Vietnamese chief of
state, has insisted that any for-
mula for calling or accomplishing
the peace parley which gives na-
tional recognition to his Vietminh
enemies will be rejected. He has
agreed in principal to meeting with
the Vietminh in an effort to stop
the bloodshed in Viet Nam.
Dinh began his discussions on

J. Frank Dobie, one of the most
noted authorities on Texas folk-
lore, brought the rip-roaring “snake
and Comanche” days back to Den-
ton Saturday morning at the NTSC
library auditorium.
At the meeting of the Texas
Folklore Society, which started
Friday at NTSC. Doble told about
snakes-and Indians in the days
when pioneers feared both.
The dean of southern folklore
opened his talk with the sugges-
tion of a logical solution to the age-
old question, do snakes swallow
their young to protect them? Dobie
said that he had heard many
stories of people who had seen
rattlesnakes swallow their young.
"The zoologists say it is impos-

golf pro’s home and beaded north-
east. The wind flattened several
homes in the Aydelotte community,
injuring several persons.
Then the funnel smalled into the
Jonco Aircraft Corp. plant, lifted
off the heavy roof, twisted steel
machinery and injured two work-
men.
Jonco night supervisor Ray
Crouch said the workers had been
warned of the storm, fled the plant
and dived into nearby ditches. He
reported many would have been
killed otherwise.
From the Jonco plant the big
cloud of destruction crunched into
Meeker, destroying or damaging
every home east of the high school
and wrecking the school plant. '
But the storm had not spent its
fury. It headed northeast from
Meeker, trapping the transcontin-
ental bus.
Fred Snead of Shawnee who was
driving his auto along the highway
said the wind picked up the big
bus and shot it like a feather into
the field 100 yards away.
Snead also reported several
autos were knocked off the high-

called back for further questioning.
He has been in the witness chair
off and on since the first day, April
22.
Sen. Mundt threw cold water on
the idea of calling Sen. McCarthy
as the next witness after Stevens.
The Army’s special counsel,
Joseph N. Welch, ssid yesterday
that in the intereat of expediting
aible, that the snakes' fluids would
kill the young,” Dobie said.
“So I don’t know which to be-
lieve,” he said, adding that he
didn’t put too much faith in ither
one—“I don’t see why someone
-doesn’t just put a baby rattlesnake
in his mother’s mouth and see
what happens.’ ’
The snake story is nothing new
to the “dean." He annually re-
ceives many “true, authentic”
stories of snakes.
One such story was as follows:
Two men were running from a
tribe of Comanches. One horse
was killed and the two men con-
tinued on the other horse. “It was
a good bone,” said Dobie, “but
the two men were slowing it down
and the Comanches were getting
closer."
French Slow
Rebel Buildup
HANOI, Indochina, May 1 (—
French warplanes today plastered
Red-led Vietminh coiled around
Dien Bien Phu for the third
straight day. A French high com-
mand spokesman described the
situation there aa “very serious"
but he asserted the bastion's de-
fenders were fsr from desperate.
Fighters and bombers from land
and carrier bases concentrated on
rebel fortifications set up on the
rim of the plain barely 600 yards
from the heart of the Northwest
Indochina bastion.
Object of the air strikes was to
retard Vietminh attempts to build
up for an all-out assault and to
provide cover for transport planes
funnelling men, munitions and ma-
terial to the beleaguered bastion.
Ground action was light. How-
ever, French Union commandos
continued to jab at rebels dug in
along the fringe of the tarbed wire
barriers. A French spokesman said
the attacks were costing the Viet-
minh "considerable losses."
A French command spokesman
announced that Dien Bien Phu’s
commander, Brig. Gen. Christian
de Castries, had refused “at this
time" to answer newsmens’ queries
whether he thought he could hold
out against the thousands of en-
circling Vietminh.
