Rep. Don Kennard of
years in Pittsburg.
In association with Dr. M. L.
Cline of Mt. Pleasant, he estab-
lished the Mt. Pleasant Hospital
and Clinic in 1946 and moved his
practice here. Later, due to fail-
ing health, he sold his interest in
the hospital and moved his prac-
tice back to Pittsburg, but main-
tained his home here. Only last
week, he again established an of-
fice in Mt. Pleasant and opened
practice at the Stephens Hotel
quarters on South Madison Ave-
nue.
Surviving him are his wife,
Mrs. Janet Martin; one son, Rus-
sell Martin, Jr., student of Texas
University; one daughter, Mrs.

burg at 3 o’clock Monday after-
noon. The rites were under direc-

dan, and Rev. Chester Phillips,
pastor of Tennison Memorial
Methodist Church, Mt. Pleasant.
Dr. Martin died at his home
south of Mt. Pleasant at 9:15 o’-
clock Saturday evening. At the
time of his death he was a mem-
ber of the State Board of Medical
Examiners.
Following the services in Pitts-
burg, which were in charge of
Smith-Bates Funeral Home, Mt.
Pleasant, the body was brought
back to Mt. Pleasant and taken
to Forest Lawn1 Memorial Park
for burial. There Masonic services
were conducted with the Pitts-
burg Commandery of Knights
Templar forming an honor guard.

A blinding blizzard, termed by
the Weather Bureau one of the
winter’s worst storms, whirled
northward out of the Great Plains
today and into Canada with mod-
erated intensity.
It left behind snowfalls up to
Duluth’s 28 inches; snowdrifts as
deep as 12 feet in Nebraska;
blocked highways in at least four
states; at least 17 persons dead
and four missing.
The storm had not lost all its
punch, however. Strong winds
were piling snow in deep drifts in
the Manitoba province of Canada,
where police reported “hundreds”
of persons were stranded on
blocked highways. Winnipeg got
seven inches of snow.
Below the border the five
deaths each reported in Colorado,
Utah and Montana, and two in
Wyoming were caused mostly by
traffic accidents in visibility zero
conditions during the driving
storm of the past three days.
But authorities feared for three

of shots from inside and two po-
licemen were wounded. The bat-

Two Wrecks Push
Violent Deaths Up
During Weekend
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Two bloody highway crashes
in Texas Sunday night wiped out
a total of 11' lives. Seven died
in one, four in the other.
The tragedies shot Texas’
weekend violent death toll to 30
All told, 21 died in traffic, two
were knifed to death, one was
shot and another poisoned.
A smashup in the center of a
three-lane highway north of
Kingsville Sunday night killed
four men and three women—in-
cluding four members of one
family. Three others were in-
jured.
Four died and four were hurt
in a car-truck crash in the mid-
dle of the half-mile long bridge
over Lake Brownwood a few
hours later.
All four dead were in the car.
They were Mr. and Mrs. Wesley
Richardson of Abilene, Tex.; Rob-
ert A. Halliburton of Riverside,
Calif., and Duane, Halliburton’s
infant son.
Among the seriously hurt was
the truck driver, Clyde Baker of
Brownwood.
The wreck near Kingsville oc-
curred on a straight stretch.
The dead: Billy Breese, 28, Mrs.
Beth Breese, 26, his wife; Mrs.
Thelma Bailey, 46, his mother;
Mrs. Rosalee Thompson, 24, his
sister, all of Corpus Chriti; Bud-
dy Joe Stanford, 23, Driscoll,
Tex.; Silverio Gonzalez, 27, of
King Ranch, and Camilo Salazar
of Kingsville.
Herman C. Borth, 75, Amarillo
rancher, was killed Sunday night
in a headon collision near Ama-
rillo.
Johnny Washington, 32, was
stabbed to death at his Houston
home Sunday. A charge of mur-
der was filed against his wife.
J. Morris Worthy, 35, Houston,
was killed Sunday in a car-pick-
up truck crash near Dickinson.
George Adams, 53, Mineral
Wells, died at Wichita Falls Sun-
day of injuries received in a car-
truck crash about midnight Fri-
day east of Wichita Falls.
Tom Mays, about 60, was killed
by a car Friday night while
and asylum lands previously sold
to that person by the state.
A total of 7,412,557 acres was
said to be involved.
Persons now owning such land
already are recognized as the
state’s leasing agents for oil and
gas, but not for hard minerals.
Uranium is one of the hard min-
erals.
Rep. Anthony (Tony) Fenoglio
of Nocona denounced Pyle’s bill
as one that would "give away
the uranium of Texas.”
Pyle said that was not true. He
said the state would retain one-
sixteenth interest in production
value and one-half of all bonus-
es, rentals and royalties paid for
a lease.
Fenoglio said it is his opinion
uranium discoveries already have
been made west of the Pecos and
the bill is designed “so owners
can come in on some uranium
that’s already been located.”
A bill designed to prevent
lewd, corruptive or depraved
comic books from reaching the
hands of Texas youngsters won
approval and advanced to the
Senate.
Six “no” votes in the Senate
blocked an effort to bring up for
immediate consideration one of
the proposed State water pro-
gram bills.
The measure, by Sen. Dorsey
Hardeman of San Angelo, would
require a state permit for im-
pounding water, exceeding im-
poundments under 200 acre feet
used solely for domestic and
livestock purposes.
The motion to bring up the bill
got only 18 favorable votes where
25 are the required minimum.
Voting “no” were Sens. Frank
Owen III of El Paso, Ray Rob-
erts of McKinney, William Moore
of Bryan, Kilmer Corbin of Lub-
bock, Rogers Kelley of Edin-
burg, and Jarrard Secrest of
Temple.
The action does not remove
possibility of future considera-
tion.
The Senate passed and sent to
the House four bills, including
one to permit truck movement of
fresh iced fish from shipping
points to processing plants, now
prohibited by law.
Also passed by the Senate was
a resolution urging Congress to
amend the Natural Gas Act to
make it clear the Federal Power
Commission has no authority to
fix the price paid to the producer
and gather for natural gas sold
in interstate commerce for resale.
The action was in protest to
the recent Phillips decision of
the U.S. Supreme Court.
House passage of the comic
book bill by Rep. Joe Pool of
Dallas was by voice vote.
Republicans called the Demo- is "no question' the tax-cutting
-1:--------• «_ _ aa:--‘-----„ amendment will pass the House
each taxpayer a $20 cut for him-
self and each of his dependents,
including his spouse, on income
earnings after next Jan. 1.
If finally adopted, the cuts
would be reflected first in with-
holding tax deductions on the in-
dividual’s first 1956 pay check.
Those not subject to withholding
taxes could make the deductions
when they pay their taxes.
Secretary of the Treasury Hum-
phrey today vigorously attacked
a Democratic proposal for a $20-
a-person income tax cut but de-
clined to say whether President
Eisenhower would veto such a
bill.
Humphrey met behind closed
doors with the House Ways and
Means Committe, which aopear-
ed to be set to approve the tax
cutting plan late today.
A member who came out of
the meeting, while the argument
was still going on inside, said
Humphrey “violently” opposed
the plan. The member asked not
to be quoted by name.
Eisenhower has argued the gov-
ernment’s fiscal picture will not
permit one next year.
The proposed income tax cut
would drop revenues an estimat
ed two billion dollars over a full
year and would relieve up to sev-
en million taxpayers from any in-
come tax bill at all.
But for the fiscal year begin-
ning next July, 1, the income tax
cut would add less than one bil-
lio ndollars to Eisenhower's esti-
mated deficit of $2,400,000,000 for
fiscal 1956. This is due to the fact
that the tax cut would take effect
next Jan. 1 and therefore would
be in operation during only half
of the fiscal year.
The tax cut plan, sponsored by
Leonard Deck Perkins, lifetime
resident of Titus County, passed
away at Medical and Surgical
Hospital in Pittsburg Friday
morning at the age of 70. He had
been ill for several months.
(Mr. Perkins was a retired
farmer and bad made his home
for many years in the Adams
Chapel community. He is surviv-
ed by two sons, Granville J. Per-
kins of Pearsall and Noble Per-
kins of Houston, and three daugh-
ters, Mrs. T. O. Raney, Argo, and
Misses Docia and Eunice Perkins
of Mt. Pleasant. Other survivors
include two brothers, T. A. Per-
kins and H. B. Perkins of Mt
Pleasant.
Funeral services, in charge of
Mayes Funeral Home, were held
at Adams Chapel Baptist Church
at 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon,
under direction of Rev. Levy Mc-
Clung and Rev. Lee Baker. Buri-
al was in the nearby cemetery.
Pallbearers were Charles Tuc-
ker, W. J. Baker, George Gilpin,
Morris White, Charlie Driggers,
E. A. Barrett and Joe Jacks.
Miss Potter had transcribed her
notes in a shorter time, the first

her and the second place award,
a silver pin was given to Miss
Embree.
Miss Jean Rogers, daughter of
Mr. Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Rogers
of Mt. Pleasant, a Mt. Pleasant
senior, won third place in short-
hand and was preesented a
bronze pin.
Two hundred and fifty stu-
dents from thirty high schools
of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas
and Louisiana, participated in the
event.
Funeral services were held in
Paris Monday for Luther Whitten,
father of Mrs. Morris Hanes of

NEW YORK, Feb. 21(— The
long crime career of squint-eyed
August Robles, sworn enemy of
the law, ended in death yesterday
after a blazing 90-minute gun
battle with police.
The pint-sized gunman had
been the object of an intense,
three-day manhunt in the city’s
Puerto Rican, districts.
Police, rankled by the memory
of his two escapes Friday, were
determined to get their man,
The elusive desperado was at
last tracked down in a third-floor
tenement hideaway on 112th
Street near Park Avenue.
Two hundred policemen sur-
rounded the shabby building and
pumped machine-gun, rifle and
pistol bullets and tear gas into
Robles’ lair. He answered their
challenges to surrender with gun-
shots'.
At one point tear gas caused a
fire in the embattled four-room
apartment. Firemen turned
streams of water into the building
to quench the blaze even before
the shooting ended.
Finally there were no more an-
swering shots.
Police gingerly entered the
charred apartment, still reeking
of acrid gunpowder and tear gas.
A priest went with them to ad-
minister last rites.
On the floor, in a pool of blood
and water, lay Robles, who had
sworn he would never be taken
alive. Blood oozed from a ragged
chest wound. A rough torniquet
had been tied around his left arm,
pierced by another bullet.
He was barefoot and clad only
in trousers and an undershirt. A
woman’s slipper and children’s
toys were on the floor beside him

took off. Airline officials have
surmised the pilot became lost in
clouds which shrouded this area
at the time, and saw the moun-
tain too late to avoid it. He was
about two miles off the regular
course which leads along the
east side of the mountain.
Two search teams, weary and
stiff after a night in subzero cold
on the mountainside, started at
dawn probing the crannies a-
round the needle-shaped rock
where the plane hit.
Pack animals were started up
from the base camp at the foot
of the 10,000-foot mountain to
bring out the bodies and an air
drop was scheduled to deliver
equipment for the bodies.
