Inal $3,750,000,000 American loan

the end of this year reflects an
economic condition that exists in
greater or less degree in most of
the countries wnich hope to bene-
fit by the Marshall plan.
Borne American informants say
the situation in Italy la typical.
The Italians since the end of the
war have received a variety of
American relief and financial as-
sistance amounting to well over
$1,000,000,000. Yet they have in-
dicated informally that they face a
dollar deficit of about 3150.000.000
by the end of the year. How they
will meet it is still a question.
The French situation apparently
will be somewhat better than the
Italian, assuming the French are
successful in putting through their
financial plans for the latter part
of the year.
Including relief supplies and
credits, Prace has received around
32,000,000,000 from this country since
the end of the war.
1945 — 13,616 cases.
1944 — 10,029.
1943 — 12,499.
This year, since March 15 (the
approximate average date of low-
est incidence) there chave been
1,344 cases, compare with 4,983
for the same period a year ago.
For the week ended August 2,
there were 219 new cases oom-
pared with 167 for the preceding
week, and 1,284 for the correspond-
ing week last year.

LEGISLATORS
DEMAND STATE
SENATOR QUIT
Resignation Asked
After ‘Fayler Takes
Public Relations Job
AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 7—
(AP)—Four members of the
Legislature today joined in
statements demanding that
State Senator James E. Tay-
•or of Kerens resign in view
of his recent accep:ance of a
full-time public relations job
with the Texas Manufacturers As-
sociation.
They ward Reps. George Nokes of
Corsicana. Elmer MeVey of Teague,
James C. Spencer of Athens, Jerry
T Stockard of Frost.
The House members sent the Ker-
ens senator a telegram saying:
"If the report is true that you are
to be director of public relaops of
the Texas Manufacturer a AShocia-
ilon, we as representatives of the
same people whom you represent as
senator from the Sixth District feel
that you should resign as senator.

•I M.A. earlier this week was accom-
panied by a statement from the
senatbr saying he would continue in
public office.
Taylor, chairman of the powerfut
Senate Finance Committee, repre-
sents the district in which Gov.
Beauford H. Jester's home is located.
He was considered Jester's floor
leader in the Senate.
Counties in the Sixth District in-
clude Navarro, Anderson. Freestone,
Henderson, Kaufman.
In a formal statement issued si-
multaneously with release of copies
of the telegram, Nokes said:
“No man shod ld sit as a member
of the Texas Senate and serve as an
erecutive of a lobbying organization
at lite same time."
Nokes said he was "profoundly
shocked" at Taylor's action, adding:
"Senator Tayior has been an able
and infitential legislator but he
was elected to serve the people of
Navarro county — not the T M A.
"During the next few years. 8rn,
Taylor will carry an extra responsi-
bility to the people of his home dis-
trict and the entire stile as chad-
man of the joint legislative com-
mittee studying the Texas school
system It is important that this
work of the committee be kept free
of bias and above reproach.
"One of Senator Taylor's first jobs
for the T. M. A, however, is to de-
velop a public relations program us-
ing the public schools to idoctrin-
ate ihe schod ehildren of the state
with the views of the TM.A."
Absentee BalloU
For Amendment
Election Mailed
Eighty-ohe absentee ballots for
the college building amendment
election Aug. 33 were mailed out
this week by the county clerk's
office, Paul Hamilton, deputy
county clerk, said today.
No ballots have yet been re-
turned. Hamilton said
The deadline for absentee bal-
loting for the ‘special election has
been set at midnight Aug 19 All
ballots must be postmarked prior
" to that deadline.
The amendment would provide
for funds to increase the physical
plant of all state colleges in such
a manner that their needs will be
met over a period of years. The
two Denton colleges will receive an
esimated 312.000.000 if the amend
ment is passed in the Aug. 23 elec-
tion.

Odom Takes Off
On World Flight
CHICAGO, Aug. 7 — ( —wu-
liam f. Odom, 27 year old form-
er British Ferry Command officer
took off at 11:63 p. m. (85 to-
day in his converted twin-engine
Army bomber in art ezort to halve
the late Wiley Pubi’s 1933 aolo
globe circling time record.
While a handful of spectators at
Douglas Airport shouted good
wishes, Odom, piloting the "Rey-
nolds Bombshell," started off on
the twice-postponed flight with a
bag of chicken sandwiches and
I said today they are awaiting re-
ceipt of a bid from the state of
Texas for eight government-owned
farm labor camps in the state.
President Truman last week
signed a bill authorizing sale of
such migratory farm labor camps
to public or semi-public agencies
or to non-profit farmer coopera-
tives.
Governor Beauford Jester, of
Texas, one official said, has in-
formed the Gepartmeni of the
state's interest in the old Farm Se-
curity Administration develop-
ments, adding that proposals will
be submitted by the state for ac-
quisition of the campe.
The Texas migratory farm labor
centers and cost of each are lo-
cated at:
Raymondville, 3298.380: McAllen
3293,252: Harlingen, 3190.653; Wes-
laco, 6311.371; Sinton, 3252.963;
Rebstown, $254,266; Lamesa,
3218.572. and Princeton, 3135.736.
The camps are equipped to ac-
commodate from 400 to 1.500 per-
sons each, the average approxi-
mating 1,000.
In addition, there is a ninth
camp, currently under the control
of the Immigration Service, being
used as an alien internment cen-
ter.
It ia located at Crystal Olty, Tex.,
and was built by the F8A to ac-
comodate 800 persons. It waa con-
verted into an alien detention ten-
ter in 1942 and enlarged so that
it at one time could accomodate
3800 persons, it is expected to be
released soqn for disposal aa sur-
plus property.
