BANGKOK, Thailand (AP— The army’* strong man,

that he wanted SEATO to keep
its headquarters here.
The army radio made repeated
broadcasts calling for Pibulsong-
gram, once Sarit’s partner in pow-
er,- to give himself up. The Pre-
mier vanished yesterday after re-
jecting a demand by Sarit and St
army supporters that he resign.
Pibulsonggram’s continued ab-
sence from his office led foreign
embassies to believ he had tied
to Hong Kong, Manila or some
other nearby country.
The Premier was last seen yes-
terday going to the palace to re-
port to King Phumiphon Aduldet
on the political crisis.
Bangkok radio broadcasts in-
sisted the coup “was inspired by
the need to give expression to the —
will of the people following the
government handling of elections
last February."
Pibulsonggram’s Seri Mananga-
sila party won a small majority
over seven opposition parties .and
independents in close,-hotly con-
tested parliamentary elections.----.
Feeling ran so high among po-

That could mean that Little

Mann has outspokenly criticized
Faubus for sending the guards-
men to the school.

were dissatisfied with the govern-

elections in which Pibulsonggram

After the seizure, Sarit modest-

of Bangkok, rather than premier.
In that capacity he cabled Prince

FIRST CROP
Henry Simmel is credited with
planting the first crop of hairy
vetch in the Pilot Point area in
the late 1930s. Largest acreage
planted in recent years was 300
acres on Joe Spratt’s farm on the
sprawling Light Ranch east of
Pilot Point
Mrs. Albert Jenkins, then presi-
dent of the Pilot Point Home Dem-
onstration Club, made the first
vetch flag and in 1954 agreed to
prepare another after the original
became tattered from winds and
rain.1
Participating in Monday’s flag
raising were Deusman:- Mayor J.
Winston Peel, president Earl Selz
of the Pilot Point National Bank;
W. B. Stallings and Clifton Irick,
president and vice president of the
Little Elm Watershed Assn, re-

The CWA's national director,
Joseph E. Dunne, called the strike

ment is bleak.”

A 29 - year - old Dallas Country
Club waiter was killed Monday
about 4130 p.m. while practicing
golf shots near Denton Creek
about four miles north of Roanoke.
It was the 24th traffic fatality in
. Denton County this year.
Noirt T. Thomas, a Negro who
lives st 3302 Edward St., Daitas,
was killed on sn abandoned por-
tion of old U.S. Highway 377 when
a car plunged off the end of the
pavement and down an incline to
pin him to a huge concrete slab.
. DRIVER
The car was driven by Mrs. B.
E. Howell, also a Dallas Negro,
who today was reported in good
condition in St. Paul's Hospital in
Dallas. Hospital officials said she
was suffering from bruises.
Thomas and his brother, Jessie
James Thomas, were at the creek
most of the afternoon, the dead
man to practice goll sht and his
brother to fish. Thomas was look-
ing for a lost golf ball in the ruins
of the pavement when the car
plunged down the 25 4 foot inclhe.
John W. Fletcher, Denton High-
way Patrolman. investigated the
accident and said that Mrs. Howell
apparently was unable to brake
the car fast enough when she real-
ised the pavement was destroyed
at the point where Thomas was
hunting for his golf ball.
PRONOUNCED DEAD
Justice of the Peace Z. D. Lewis
of Denton pronounced Thomas
dead about 5 p.m. The body was
returned to Denton by a Schmitz-
Floyd-Hamlett ambulance and was
delivered to the Citizens Undertak-
ing Co. of Denton. Black 4 Clarke
Funeral Home of Dallas picked up
the body Monday night.
The fatality was the first traffic
death this year to take place off
a main highway, and the second
fatality involving an auto - pedes-
trian collision. Thomas' death puts
tne county’s traffic fatalities far
ahead of last year's death toll at
this date. There were only 13
fatalities at this time last year.
