the event was not a county fair.
Chairman Mark Hannah and
building committee members were
given the green light to obtain fi-
nancing of a new 50x100-foot live-
stock barn for this year’s fair.
The new barn, which would ex-
tend the present livestock facili-
ties to the west, will be the second
new structure erected to house ex-
hibits sine the fair was revived
two years ago. A new general
exhibits building was erected last
summer.
TO SPEND $7,000
Hannah estimated costs of the
new barn at $5,000, plus an addi-
tional $2,000 to $2,500 for erection
of stalls for the Shetland Pony
Show, already being billed as “the
best In the southwest." Seventy

storage in two proposed reservoirs
that might be built in Denton
County at a later date.
IKARD’S STAND
Ikard said his position all along
has been to reconvey all surplus
land around the two reservoirs ex-
cept that needed for public pur-
poses. He was quoted as saying
that he was satisfied that new lan-
guage in the bill would not stipu-
late how the water levels of the
two lakes would be changod to
provide for future projects. This
apparently was in reference to
Dallas’ long - range proposals for
building two new Denton County
reservoirs in exchange for the
storage space in the existing res-
ervoirs.
Alger said he was satisfied with
the agreement since Dallas Attor-
ney H. P. Kucera who also helped
work out the settlement, was sat-
isfied with the outcome.
The subcommittee also was pre-
pared to agree on tenguage which
would avert a conflict between for-
mer owners of the disputed land
and present owners in event of
reconveyance. If these owners fail
to reach an agreement within four
months of notification of recon-
veyance. the General Services Ad-
ministration would dispose of the
land.

WASHINGTON —The House
goes into its showdown session
on civil rights today with propon-
ents predicting passage of the bill
before nightfall without fundamen-
tal changes.
The big question remaining was
whether the Southern opponents
would succeed in adding an amend-
ment guaranteeing a jury trial to
anyone accused of violating a fed-
eral injunction issued to support
civil rights.

The tentative agreement was
reached by Rep. Frank Ikard of
Wichita Falls, who represents
Washington that a House public
works subcommittee agreed to ac-
cept a settlement worked out by
the two Texas congressmen who
have been at odds over the ques-
tion of returning the tend around
both Garza • Little Elm and
Grapevine Reservoirs in Denton
County.
More tend is involved in the Gar-
za - Little Elm area than at Grape-

The subcommittee agreed to
stipulate that no land below the
529 - foot level at Garza - Little
Elm would be sold back to the
original owners. The "keep" line
at Grapevine was set at 560 feet.

According to today’s reports, the
conferees also stipulated that no
lands which Dallas transferred to
the federal government in con-
struction of Garza - Little Elm
would be returned to former own-
ers at this time. Dallas owned

House passage of the bill, in
one form or another, is not in

a similar bill last year by a sub-
stantial majority, but it died in

HONG KONG • - Communist
China today released two Ameri-
can Jesuit missionaries after four
years of imprisonment and house
arrest.
Father Charles J. McCarthy, 45,
San Francisco, and Father John
Alexander Houle, 42, Glendale,
Calif., left the Shanghai house
where they had been kept in re-
cent months and went to the Jo-
suit mission headquarters in this
Chinese metropolis.
DEPARTURE
Contacted by telephone from
Hong Kong, Father McCarthy said
he and Father Houle expected to
leave Shanghai for Hong Kong in
about 10 days, depending on tear
vel facilities available.
Freeing of the two priests left
six Americans still confined in
Communist China, three under
house arrest in Shanghai and three
others believed imprisoned in the
Peiping - Tientsin area. The num-
ber of Americans in Communist
Chinese custody has dropped grad-
ually from a high of 55 in 1951.
Father McCarthy reported that
he and Father Houle were both in
fair health. He said he couldn't
tell if he had lost weight because
he hadn’t weighed in four yers.
He added that Father Houle was
suffering from a back ailment
"but is in much better health than
before.”
VERY HAPPY
“We are very happy to be free
again," Father McCarthy said in
a halting voice. He said he want-
ed to tell Triends and relatives
“how much we appreciate all their
thoughts, all their prayers and
their sacrifices.”
Asked to comment on his treat-
ment while imprisoned, he re-
plied: “We are still in Shanghai
and I would rather not say too
much."
The first one, he continued, was
“Has Maj. Levin been threatening
me?. . . The answer to that is
no.
He said the second question was

CAMP WHITTINGTON, Japan
I — William S. Girard said today
in the presence of a Pentagon gen-
eral that the U.S. Army is not
putting pressure on him.
Girard, 21-year-old Army special-
ist third class scheduled to be
tried in Japanese courts for the
shooting of-aeJapanese woman,
made a press conference appear-
ance flanked by Brig. Gen. Charles
Decker, assistant judge advocate
general of the Army, and Maj.
Stanley Levin, the soldier's per-
sonal legal adviser appointed by
the Army Far East Command.
The GI in a transpacific tele-
phone conversation yesterday told
his older brother in the United
States “the whole Tar East Com-
mand" was putting pressure on
him but he didn’t know what they
were trying to get him to do.
Girard also said in the telephone
talk that Levin had told him he
would get a stiffer sentence if
tried by the Army than if tried
by the Japanese. Girard's brother
is now waging a court fight in
Washington to prevent Wiliam’s

Today’s the big day for 110 Den-
ton National Guardsmen at North
Fort Hood — it’s payday.
The 110 officers and men of
Denton’s Co. A, 155th Tank Bat-
talion of the Texas National Guard
will wind up two weeks field
. training with today’s pay call and
return home by Sunday,
About $730,000 is to be paid out

A are to receive approximately
$9,000.
All gardsmen KHanding the

dating back to Gorge Washing-
ton’s time when the militia per-
iodically was called to account for
every man on the rolls.
The Denton group left for Fort
Hood June 1 and 2 in three groups.
The first group, composed of
some 20 men driving Co. A’s trucks
and tanks, joined a combat com-
mand convoy st Fort Worth for
the trip to Fort Hood. The con-
bey was composed of over 1,000
vehicles from guard units in North

A second group left Denton June

For example, the present num-

A Pilot Point number, 6-2228,

The changeover follows a nation-
