GRAPEVINE - Police officials
from Dallas and Grapevine were
continuing their search at 11 p.m.
Saturday for what they believed
could be the body of a small child,
seen dumped into the swirling wa-
ters of Denton Creek below Grape-
vine Dam.
Two unidentified fishermen
told police they were fishing un-
der the bridge when a car stopped
and two people got out and threw
m object about three-feet long
over the side of the bridge. They
said concrete blocks were tied to
the object, which police said could
have been the body of a two or
three-year-old child.
Corps of Engineers officials at
Grapevine Dam were closing the
flood control gates of the reser-
voir in order to help locate the
object.
A diver was reported waiting
for more weights to help pull him
to the bottom in his search for
the object. The water was 12 to
14 feet deep to the area of the
bridge.
Another unidentified person told
police be saw the car stop and
saw the object kicked into the
waters. The car left the scene at
a high rate of speed, he said.

WASHINGTON, Aug 2 m—See-
rotary of State Dulles flew back
today from disarmament talks in
London and promptly challenged
Russia to join the West in lessen-
ing the danger of a great atomic
war by opening vast territories to
aerial and ground inspection.
Dulles arrived in midafternoon
and went to the White House to
give a first-hand report of his Lon-
don mission to President Eisen-
bower.
He was able to report to the
President, according to informa-
tion in diplomatic quarters, that
he had succeeded in pulling the
Western Allies out of a logjam of
disagreement on inspection zones.
They concurred In a plan he pre-
sented to Russia at a meeting of
the U. N. Disarmament subcom-
mittee in London yesterday.
What be proposed in essence
was that Russia agree to aerial
and ground inspection over great
areas of Europe. North America
and the Soviet Union. The object
is to preclude the possibility of a
massive surprise attack in this
atomic age.
In an airport statement Dulles
said that, "It is now up to the
Soviet Union to respond."
"If the Soviet Union accepts
these proposals," he said, "and
if the necessary details are
worked out, the risk of surprise
attack will be greatly diminished.
"And since a major war is not
apt to be launched unless the ag-
gressor cm count on surprise, the

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3-
President Eisenhower was report-
ed adamant today against the
Senate’s revamped civil rights
bill, and Rep. Joseph W. Martin
Jr., House GOP leader, pro-
nounced civil rights legislation
"dead for thia session ” of Con-
gress.
Three top administration offi-
cials. who cannot be named, said
in interviews that Eisenhower re-
gards the Senate version of the
bill as completely unworkable. He
was said to be throwing his weight
solidly against House acceptance
of IL
Martin told a reporter: "The bin
is not acceptable to us, and I
don’t think it’s acceptable te a ma-
jority of the House. "
DEADLOCK SEEN
He foresaw a probable deadlock
which would put the issue over te
next year.
"The three administration leadres
agreed that, as the matter stands,
Eisenhower would rather have no
bill at all than to accept the Sen-
ate’s insertion of the jury trial
amendment to a measure which it
already had stripped of authority
to enforce civil rights ia general.

FIFTH DROWNING
It was Denton County’s fifth

Witnesses said Walker's son,

DALLAS. Aug. 3 -A federal
judge ruled today that corporate
records turned over to the gov-
ernment by a Texas newspaper

Judge William Atwell said:

Some House Democratic leaders
voiced the opinion privately that
the Republicans don't want a
civil rights bill this year." They
contended the Eisenhower admin-
istration is stalling and hoping to
carry the issue over into the 1958
election year.
Martin called the Senate bill in
its present form a Democratic bill
and declared. "We won’t take it in
the form it is likely to come out
of the Senate."
In foreseeing a possible dead-
lock over efforts to compromise
differences between the Senate
version and the more sweeping:
administration-a ponsored bill
passed by the House, Martin said:
NEXT CONVENING
“It looks to me as though this
bill is dead for this session. That
will put the whole civil rights fight
over until next January when Con-
greSS reconvenes.
The chief executive's legal ad-
visers are said to have told Eisen-
hower the measure the Senate
may pass by midweek represents
not only m "empty shell” for pro-
tection of voting rights but will
hamstring government enforce-
ment in other fields.
Southern senators held a strat-
egy session on the bill today and
Sen. Russell (D-Ga) told report-
ers afterward that he expects a
Senate vote “within a reasonable
time," perhaps Wednesday or
even sooner.
"Up te MW there has been no
