Rolland Brengle, president of the Fair. Vhare group, said,
"We gained one objective. Our milk price was increased."
However, other union leaders blamed the decision to call off
the strike on court orders that restricted picketing activities and

County Draft

asks for four men, officials of
Texas Local Board No. 33 have
announced.
The May draft call for Texas
asks for 593 men, compared to 301
for April, Colonel Morris S.
Schwartz, state Selective Service
director has reported.
This is the state’s share of a na-
tional call for 12,000 men, all for
the Army.
At the same time, the state Se-
lective Service director announced
a call on half the state's draft
boards for 1,152 men to take pre-
induction physical and mental ex-
aminations lor future calls.
He said that the boards not re-
ceiving a quota for these examina-
tions in May would be called upon
to furnish men for examination in
June.
The May quota will be filled with
men who are 21 years of age, or
older, on May 1, with the excep-

WASHINGTON i-Sen. Olin D.
Johnston (D-SC) said today he is
confident a compromise farm bill
now being drafted “will be ac-

the House and Senate."
Johnston made the prediction in
an interview as the conferees pre-
pared to resume work on the com-
plex and politically charged bill.
Any compromise of varying Sen-
ate and House bills will still re-

branches after they return next

IKE ISSUES WARNING
President Eisenhower reiterated
Monday he wants “to get a good
farm bill and get it promptly.” He
made the comment in a statement
issued in connection with his sign-
ing of two other farm measures,
both of which he had recommend-
ed.
One exempts gasoline used on
farms from the 2-cent federal tax
on each gallon. The estimated
saving to farmers is 60 million
dollars yearly. Farmers sil have
to pay the tax when they buy gaso-
line. but they may get refunds.
Eisenhower said the new law
will "help alleviate the cost-price
squeeze" on farmers.

WANT ADS DIAL 02551
A bombardment of letters and
telegrams on congressional dele-
gation members and the federal
drought relief committee is being
planned by Denton County live-
stock producers and dairymen in
efforts to get the county includ-
ed in emergency feed programs.
A step-up in a campaign to get
federal approval of the county’s
need for emergency feed came
when it was reported that new de-
signations would be started this
month.
"The more letters and telegrams
we can get to our congressmen
and senators and to the committee,
the more pressure we'll be giving
the more chance we'll have to get
included in the program,” Leon
Osborne, county president of .Tex-
as Farmers Union, declared at a
protest meeting here Monday night.
“Those fellows have got to rea-
lize that we are in a desperate
situation down here, and have been
since last September and October.
Just because we happen to be in
another county is no reason why
we should not be included," he
added. “It's just as dry or drier
over here aa it to in wise, Tar-
rant, or other nearby counties de-
signated as emergency areas.”
SHIVERS* AID SOUGHT
Telegrams also are to be sent
Gov. Allan Shivers, seeking his
support for the county's designa-
tion. It was reported at last night’s
meeting that Gov. Shivers had in-
tervened twice last year and kept
the county off the list for special,
cheaper feed.
Monday, officials of Denton's two
banks, the feed mill, and Harpool’s
Seed House joined the effort to
get the county included under the
program. Each wired Congressman
Frank Ikard or Senators Price
Daniel and Lyndon B. Johnson,
urging their support in the cam-
paign.
“Let's talk votes to those fel-
lows, that’s a language they can
understand." Raymond Crouch of
Denton suggested to the group.
"Daniel to running for governor
this year, and he'll be needing all
the votes he can get."
REASON SOUGHT
Efforts to determine why Den-
ton County was not included among
designations in January also are
being made by farmers and ranch-
ers.
The county was approved for the
program by the local drought com-
mittee and by the stat* panel, but
no action was taken by the feder-
al group, farm leaders noted.
“I have not been at all satisfied
with the cooperation that we have
gotten from the state commiee
in the other counties in our dis-
trict which have tried to get under
the drought relief program.” Con-
gressman Ikard wrote Osborn* this

DALLAS ( - A blinding dust
storm that some old-timers said
was the worst they could remem-
ber whipped across Southwestern
states yesterday, demolishing
small buildings and killing at least
three persons.
Driven by winds that ranged up
to 80 miles per hour, the dust
storm engulfed portions of New
Mexico. Colorado and Oklahoma
centered its main force in west
Texas, where visibility dropped to
zero at many points.
Midland, Big Spring, Childress,
Pecos and Abilene were among
west Texas cities reporting “zero-
zero” conditions during the worst
of the storms. Street lights were
turned on and automobiles, with
headlights on, inched their way
through the choking curtain of
dust.
Big Spring Herald Editor Joe
Pickle called it the "grandfather
of dust storms” and said it “got
dark as night” there. Editor Lon
Pate of the Haskell Enterprise,
who has lived In Haskell since
1910, said it was the worst dust
storm he could remember, includ-
ing those of the Dust Bowl days
in the 1990s.
At Pecos 10 teen-agers were
hospitalized after a two-car crash,
and five persons were injured in
a seven-car pileup west of Wildor-
