For a full 30 minutes, bands

doubled the town’s population.

BEST REASON FOR A FAIR
Four-yar-old Eddie Wilkinson says there’s only one
reason for a fair—the merry-go-round. Little Eddie,
the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Caldwell, Route 1,
Chico, had his day at the Wise County Fair, Bridge-
port Wednesday, and wondered why fairs were not
neld more often. (Record-Chronicle Staff Photo).

Local Boards Should Have
Control, Jamison Advises
State Representative Alonzo Jamison of Denton, a mem-
ber of the 40-member governor’s advisory committee on
publid school segregation, today was sharply critical of the
procedure of the committee and of some of its recommen-
dations.
LONDON OB—Nikita Khrushchev
was reported in trouble with some
Soviet leaders today and may be
seeking the support of Yugoslav
President Tito for his policies of
de-Stalinization and easing up on
the East European satellites.
Press reports here and in Aus-
tria said a new struggle for power
inside the Kremlin was back of
.the surprise trip by Tito to the
Soviet Union in company with
Khrushchev, the first secretary of
the Soviet Communist party.
Without a word of explanation,
Tito took off from Belgrade
yesterday with Khrushchev, who
had spent eight days in seclusion
with the Yugoslav leader. With
some of his closest lieutenants,
Tito was reported at the Black
Sea resort of Yalta today. Khrush-
chev was said to be planning to
take him to the nearby Crimean
resort of Sochi to see Soviet Pre-
mier Nikolai Bulganin and For-
eign Minister Dmitri Shepilov. .
The reports here and in Vienna
said Khrushchev at last had been
caught in a squeeze by a Stalinist
bloc in the Politburo and Soviet
army chiefs,
Former Foreign Minister V. M.
Molotov and former Premier
Georgi Malenkov were reported to
believe that Khrushchev had gone
too far in his de-Stalinization cam-
paign.
The army was reported con-
cerned that in trying to please
Tito, Khrushchev’s policy of eas-
ing up on control of the satellites
had misfired, and that Soviet se-
curity was endangered.
The independent Vienna news-
paper Neuer Kurier, in a dispatch
from the Yugoslav capital which
quoted a "high ranking personali-
ty." declared Khrushchev had
been summoned to appear before
the Kremlin leadership sitting as
a "party court.”
The dispatch said Khrushchev
was accused of a policy which
went awry in the satellktesrand
"led, among other things, to the
June 38 Poznan riots in Poland.”
It said the “party court” may
either have been called by Khrush-
chev’s opponents or by Khrush-
chev himself in an effort to re-
habilitate” himself.
It added that Khrushchev took
Tito bock to the Soviet Union as
his witness to "Stalin’s monstros-
ities."
The London Express said Mos-
cow reports "indicate that the
Stalinists are growing stronger.
Some sources even say Khrush-
or-death struggle."
Western diplomatic sources in
Vienna said they had no confirma-
tion of Kurier’s interpretation of
the Tito visit, but they said they
did have solid information that
Khrushchev was in trouble be-
cause of his satellite policy.
Tito’s rush trip to the Crimea
was reported from Belgrade yes-
terday as a vacation.
Word that Tito and Khrushchev
had reached Yalta — site of the
last World War II meetings be-
tween Roosevelt, Churchill and
Stalin — came from Belgrade

This hearing has been described

Marshall said he would be on
tee’s report and would use it in
making recommendations to the
next Legislature.
TRADITIONAL
Although Shivers did not try for
a new term he will make the tra-

said he opposed adoption of the

take the integration problem out

boards. He explained he was also
opposed on the grounds that it
would be a backward step in any

Daniel offered his resignation as
