BACK-TO-SCHOOL TIME IS
BIG NEWS FOR THIS AREA
A
Back-to-school time in Danton, Denton County and the North
Texas area is big news here for it involves thousands of persons
directly linked with education and sets in motion "machinery"
that is valued in the millions of dollars.
Today the Record-Chronicle recognizes the news value of the
event with its annual Back-To-School edition—a paper that con-
tains 84 pages in seven sections. Stories and pictures about Denton's
two colleges, NTSC And TSCW, its public schools and schools in
the county and North Texas area are included.
The Record-Chronicle hopes this edition will serve adequately
as a welcome to the thousands of new students and as a promise
of an even better year for the returning students, faculty and
other school employes.

Two Killed, 44 injured;
Damage Runs Into Millions
WHITING, Ind., Aug. 27 (AP)—A raging fire, touched
off by explosion of a 26-story gasoline cracking tower, took
two lives, injured 44, and made a shambles of sections of
the Standard Oil Co. (Indiana) refinery today.
About 950 families were evacuated from their homes.
Gasoline raced down the streets of this northern Indiana
city of about 10,000 population. The gasoline ran into
sewers and police issued a "no smoking" order.
Damage was estimated all the way from 10 million to
100 million dollars.
The initial blast wrecked the world’s largest liquid hydro-
former — a high-octane gasoline still—hurling great slabs
of its steel plate sides into a residential area across U.S.
highways 12 and 20 which form the plant’s west boundary
A hurtling piece of the huge tower smashed through the
frame house of Frank Plewniak, killing his 3-year-old son,
Richard, in his bed. Another son, Ronald, suffered loss of
his left leg, and the father was cut by hurtling plaster.

Sen. George of Georgia, chair-
man of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee and chief Demo-
cratic spokesman in Congress on
international affairs, said of the
administration proposal:
"Iamconsideringit. but I
haven’t committed myself. I am in
sympathy with the* objective! but
I doubt very much that thia pro-
posal can ever be worked out.”
George, in a telephone interview
from hia Vienna, Ga., home, said
he feels that other nations might
give only token aid in backing up
the peace plan “and the whole bur-
den would fall on us.”
One Arab leader said angrily
that Secretary of State Dulles was
offering Arabs ’10 pieces of silver
to sell Palestine to the Jews” as
a vote-catcher in the 1956 presi-
dential election.
Dulles said in a New York speech
Friday the United States would
join in international action to ee-
tablish and guarantee new Israeli-
Arab borders, would subscribe to
an international loan to compen-
sate 900,000 Arabs displaced in the
mid-East strife and would.aid in
water development projects in the
area.
George, who was consulted by
Dulles in advance, said today the
situation in the Middle East has
become "considerably more acute"
recently. He said the State Depart-
ment was "disturbed by reports
that Russia is furnishing heavy ar-
tillery to Arab nations aa well as

“I think Tincy got his," said in-

Eggleston, Cecil Green, and Har-

in the two-year-old slaying of the
