‘Thorough Study’ of
Industry Stressed
AUSTIN, Atg.‘ (UP)—R. Eu-
gene Risser of Dallas, regional di-
rector of the War Production
Board, notified Gov. Coke Steven-
son today that he has recommend-
ed that WPB make a "thorough
study” of Texas’ garment industry
before it takes definite action on
the proposal to concentrate civil-
ian clothing manufacture in New
York during the war.
Risser said that he has forward-
ed to the WPB textile division in
Washington Stevenson’s letter of
protest and the reports from the
University of Texas and Texas
Technological College on the im-
portance of textile manufacture in
Texas. Additional surveys of the
industry are being prepared by
Texaa A. & M. and the university,
the governor’s office was advised.
Stevenson’s protest pointed out
that Texas ranks third in the num-
ber of people employed in making
me’a work clothing, and that the
loss of the civilian garment-mak-
ing industry to New York would
be a serious economic setback to
Texas.

Plane Crash
Being Probed
LAS CRUCES, N. M., Aug. 25
— (UP)—A board of inquiry from
Biggs Field at El Paso today in-
vestigated the crash of a four-
motored army bomber from Fort
Bliss near here yesterday.
Seven members of the crew of
nine were killed. The others para-
chuted to safety. The dead:
2nd Lieut. James E. Hudson,
pilot, 2nd Lieut. James Van
George, 2nd Lieut. Eugene E.
Rochester, 2nd Lieut. Leon H.
Shnoe, 2nd Lieut. Frank B. John-
son, 2nd Lieut. William R. Simon,
El Paso, Tex.; Sgt. Cato H. Myers,
Houston, Tex.
2nd Lieut. Quentin W. Har-
grove, Shreveport, La., and Staff
Sgt. W. E. Knox parachuted to
safety.
The bomber was on a routine
training flight when it met dis-
aster. Survivors said the ship
went to pieces during a severe
storm.
reached the nearest enemy bases.
So devastating was the Allied
attack, the enemy bombers never
had a chance to drop their bombs
on military targets. Such bombs
as were not jettisoned in wild
flight struck in the bush outside
the Darwin defense zone and
started a few grass fires. The
fires were the only damage in one
of the biggest Japanese raids.
It was the first enemy attack
on Darwin since July 30. Then
seven enemy fighters and two
bombers were shot down out of
tion of 40 of the "Constellation”
type planes designed by Hughes.
Hughes is backing their con-
struction with almost $20,000,000
of his own money.
Announcement of the Kaiser-
Hughes partnership was regarded
as Kaiser’s first answer to critics
who have described his air freight-
er plan as fantastic.
The announcement did not ex-
plain how they expected to obtain
materials. Government authorities
have said that Kaiser's program
must not interfere with other
aircraft construction.
Hughes and Kaiser are working
on plans for a plane twice as
large as the "Constellation," and
larger than the B-19, world’s
largest bomber built by Douglas
Aircraft Company at Santa Mon-
ica. The B-19 weighs 80 tons
loaded and has a wingspread of
212 feet.
Kaiser originally proposed that
nine shipyards, including several
of his own on the West coast, be
converted to construction of giant
flying boats of the Glenn L.
Martin “Mars” type. Established
aircraft builders were skeptical.
Donald Nelson, chairman of the
War Production Board, gave Kai-
ser a letter of authorization to
prepare engineering plans and
other data. Kaiser and Hughes
have been conferring here for
several days and have prepared
general outlines of the construc-
tion plan.
Hughes owns a large part of
Transcontinental and Western
Airlines. The Constellation planes
originally were intended to fly
o Miss Jackson as taught the
5 third grade in the Overton school

an expected drop in enrollment,
( it was probable that Miss Jack-
son's position would not be filled.

in sale of war bonds and stamps
today were offered an oppor-
tunity.
Donations of farm produce—
eggs, poultry, vegetables,, even
pigs and calves—were requested
today in order to swell the list
of articles to be offered in
Saturday’s auction sale, when
purchases will be made on the
basis of bond and stamp buying
bids.
Rusk county commissioners were
asked to lend their assistance in
the project and agreed to “spread
the news around.’’
Henderson retail merchants are
sponsoring the sales day, one in
a series they are promoting to
stimulate sale of bonds and
stamps. They want as many
articles as possible, in order to
attract large and small buyers of
war securities.
It was suggested that farmers
who want to provide articles for
the auction bring in farm pro-
duce. If they offer calves or pigs,
the animal’s age, weight and other
information should be listed on
a card to be given the auctioneer.
The farm products will be out-
right donations for sale. No
confusion in Washington" and that
the administration had not takeu
the people into its confidence.
Opening of the convention was
marred by a controversy over
adoption of a resolution praising
Willkie and declaring him the lead-
er of the Republican party both in
the state and nation. Opposed by
a strong bloc of leaders, the reso-
lution was drastically revised.
When it was finally passed it
wished “God-speed and success"
for Willkie in his trip to Russia

San Antonio Can
Seek Mandamus
AUSTIN, Aug. 24. (UP)—The
Texas Supreme Court today grant-
ed the city of San Antonio per-
mission to file an application for
mandamus against District Judge
M. C. Jeffrey to compel him to
vacate orders issued in connection
with litigation over the city’s
attempt to buy the San Antonio
Public Service Company.
A date for hearing on the
merits was left to be arranged
by lawyers, but it was announced
it will not be until some time in
October.
The application seeks to require
Judge Jeffrey to vacate restrain-
ing orders he has issued on ap-
plication of Guadalupe-Blanco
River Authority and to desist from
issuing further restraining orders
against San Antonio in the matter.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24.
(UP)—Henry J. Kaiser, the
west’s “miracle builder,” and
Howard Hughes, multi-millionaire
airplane designer, tool maker and
speed flyer, joined today in a
project to build 500 of the world’s
largest cargo airplanes.
Russell Birdwell, Hollywood
pubicity man who long has repre-

partnership would combine the

SAN JUAN, P. R., Aug. 24—
(UP) — Secretary of Interior
Harold L. Ickes has rebuked
Patrick J. Fitzsimmons and
George A. Malcolm, auditor and
attorney general of Puerto Rico,
respectively, for alleged attacks
on Gov Rexford Guy Tugwell, it
was announced today.
Fitzsimmons and Malcolm, who
now are in Washington, were re-
ported as declaring that new
governmental agencies in Puerto
Rico are unconstitutional and not
permitted under the Puerto Rico
organic act, and that Insular
funds are being squandered.
The agencies criticized by the
two officials are the Puerto Rico
Water Resources, Transportation
and Communication Authorities,
and the Puerto Rican Develop-
ment Company, formed for gov-
ernment sponsorship of new in-
dustries.
"There is no need to question
the propriety of approving the
legislative appropriations for
those agencies,” Ickes said. “It
is only under the most extraor-
dinary circumstances that a gov-
ernment official should question
of validity of a legislative act
already approved by the execu-
tive.”

Uruguay worked feverishly to
tighten up the border patrol, and

Japs Retreat
To Manchukuo
CHUNGKING, Aug. 24.—(UP)
—Japanese forces, driven from
11 important Chinese towns last
week, are retreating toward Man-
chukuo like “hun dogs,” starved,
fatigued and ill, a Chines* mili-
tary spokesman said today.
Important positions have been
recaptured from the enemy along
the important Hangchow-Nan-
chang railway that cut through
Chekiang and Kiangsi provinces.
On Saturday night the 11th aity
in a week fell to the Chinese when
the Japanese fled from Yukan,
on the southeastern shores of
Lake Poyang, retreating across
the lake to Nanchang.
Guerrilla activities that de-
prived the Jaapnese of food and
munition supplies played an im-
portant part in the collapse of the
enemy, and the successful bomb-
ing of Japanese targets by Ameri-
can planes apparently boosted the
morale of the Chinese.
The capture of Linchwan, un-
der Chinese siege for more than
three weeks, was one of the most
important victories for the Chi-
nese army this year. The invad-
ers had reinforced the garrison
three times and at times there
were 30,000 men defending the
city, the military spokesman said.
American planes bombed the
Japanese positions in cooperation
with the Chinese ground attacks
and the Chinese finally took pos-
session of the city late Saturday
night.
Chinese forces now are storm-
ing the town of Chuhsien, where
the Japanese have an important
airfield, and the silk city of Chu-
ki, the army spokesman said.
The 11 cities and towns from
which the Japanese have been
driven are Hengfeng, lyang,
Kweiki, Yingtang, Kwangfeng,
Shangjao, Yukiang, Linchwan,
Yushan, Yukan and Huangchinpu.
The drive has cleared the in-
vaders from the ailway right-of-
way for a distance of approxi-
mately 135 miles after the Japa-
nese had captured all but about
22 miles of the important line.
Chinese forces also have cleared
the enemy from Wenchow, impor-
tant port only 600 airline miles
from Japan proper.

ported that a Black Sea fleet
flotilla was shelling Nazi coastal
positions.
A battle for the mountain
passes continued southeast of
Pyatigorsk but the Russians were
still falling back toward the
Grozny oilfields.
After weeks of costly effort,
the Germans had put both men
and fanks across the great bend
of the Don, where it sweeps
closest to industrial Stalingrad
and the Volga river lifeline. The
noon communique said Soviet
forces were engaged in fierce
fighting, trying to wipe out this
crossing.
“Northeast of Kotelnikovski,
the enemy concentrated a con-
siderable number of tanks on one
I sector and wedged themselves into
Soviet forward positions,” the
noon communique said.
Twelve hours earlier, a German
! spearhead had driven deep into
Russian positions. Several days
ago a unit of German tanks had
driven into Soviet defenses, but
it was announced they had been
surrounded.
The noon communique reported
that a Soviet tank unit had
struck the enemy on the flank,
northeast of Kotelnikovski, killing
more than 200 Germans.
Although Russian counter-at-
tacks and resistance, in which
there was no surrender, took a
terrible toll of Germans on all
fronts, they poured new reinforce-
ments into the battle and kept un
their continuous assaults night
and day.
This was the seventh day of
non-stop German assaults against
the approaches to Stalingrad.
