Old Man Winter Aims One of
His Final Blows at Texas
By The Associated Press
One of winter’s final blows was levelled at Texas today.
With spring less than a week off—March 20— cold wind and
drizzling rain swept into the Texas Panhandle during the night.
“WILD BOY” CLOTHED IN RAGS—Barefoot and clothed only
in two torn dresses, 14-year-old Gerald Sullivan stands in the Boston
police station after his escape from a locked room where police said
his mother had kept him prisoner for ten years because she wanted
to “keep her sin a secret.” Police Captain Francis W. Russell quoted
the boy’s mother, Mrs. Anne F. Sullivan, 45, as saying the boy was
illegitimate. The boy was found playing in the streets. Mrs. Sullivan
pleaded guilty to a charge of neglect and was held in $2,000 bond for
a hearing. (AP Wirephoto).
GAINESVILLE, COOKE COUNTY, TEXAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 15 1949
--—---------------------------------
AUSTIN, March 15 (AP) — The
house today passed the first of
51st legislature’s big money bills,
appropriating $5,337,014 for the
judiciary in the next two fiscal
years.
The bill now goes to the senate,
where a similar measure has been
approved by the finance commit-
tee.
There has been no final com-
mittee action on the other “must”
big money bills in either house
or senate. Those are the appro-
priations for state departments,
colleges, and eleemosynary . insti-
Deadline Arrives for

reminded Cooke county citizens,
that Tuesday was the deadline for
submitting names and addresses
of former citizens to whom invita-
tions to the Circus Roundup this
year, are to be sent.
A stenographer will start work
this week making index cards for
the hundreds of names submitted,
and others expected to reach the
Chamber of Commerce office to-
day and Wednesday.
The invitations will be mailed
as soon as the printing is com-
pleted next week.

Invite Duchesses
From Eight Cities
For Coronation
The Chambers of Commerce in
Denison, Sherman, Denton, No-
cona, Bowie and Fort Worth and
the newspaper publishers of
Muenster and Saint Jo, were in-
vited Monday to select young-
women to represent their respec-
tive cities as duchesses for the
coronation of the queen of the
Circus Roundup Monday.
Letters of invitation were dis-
patched over the weekend by Bob
Murdoch, secretary of the Round-
up association. The duchesses are
to select their escorts to accom-
pany them to Gainesville on Fri-
day, April 22.
The visiting duchesses, escorts
and chaperons are to meet in the

This action came after the appro-

recommended and sent to the cal-

money bills for new or expanded
colleges. It departed from its pol-
icy of holding up such measures
until the “must” money bills are
out of the way.

of Illinois said after a meeting
of Truman Democrats that he
had not given up hopes for
a compromise. He said frank-
ly, however, that his follow-
ers lacked the votes to end the
present stalemate if Southern
Democrats want to keep the
senate tied up and can get Re-
publican help.
Republicans scheduled two con-
ferences on the situation—a pol-
icy committee meeting at 1 p. m.
I (CST) and a conference of all
42 GOP senators an hour later.
The Dixie senators were sitting
tight, waiting to see what came
out of the sessions of the other
factions.
In brief, the situation this
morning was this:
The Truman Democrats have
lost their effort to put through a
new senate rule that debate could
be limited at any time two-thirds
of the senators on the floor voted
to limit it. They wanted this anti-
stock in the show.

aid.
The internal revenue bureau
doesn’t pay off on a mere “com-
plaint” or plain “tip” to the effect
that “so and so is evading taxes.”
The informer has to produce
something that will serve as evi-
dence in court. He also has to ask
for a money reward to get one.
The “woman scorned” motiva-
tion can be powerful. There was
the case of a bride-to-be who got
left standing at the church. This
sweet young thing, say officials,
turned in not only the balking
bridegroom but also his father and
several others in their family.
Tax agents get their biggest
kick, however, over the case
where the bureau nicked an in-
former for extra taxes. He owed
the extra amount on a reward

ploded, hurling burning oil 600
feet or more. Paint, rubber tires
and other combustibles jamming
the warehouse, fed the blistering
blaze that kept firemen from clos-
ing in.
Cause Not Known
The cause of fire was not de-
termined. The possibility of sabo-
tage was not discounted. Col.
George Brown, provost marshal
of the army base, said an investi-
gation would be conducted at
once.
The two ships scorched and
damaged slightly by the flames
were the 13,000-ton Young Amer-
ica and the 10,000-ton army trans-
port Sgt. George O. Keathley.
A rm y authorities estimated
dock and warehouse damage at
above $1,000,000.
Six Other Piers Saved
Six other piers of the Oakland
army base, largest army shipping
point for Pacific areas, were
saved. The big base sprawls just
south of the Oakland-San Fran-
cisco Bay bridge.
The two-story structure was
bulging with supplies for over-
seas.
At times oil drums exploding in
the heat shot 300 yards away. One
landed on a parked automobile.
Firemen centered their efforts on
keeping the fire from destroying
other warehouses.
The spectacular blaze could be
seen for miles. Motorists, despite
the hour, flocked to the scene by
the thousands.
The great navy supply depot
nearby was never threatened.
MANY MISTAKES IN archi-
tectural design are made in school
buildings, some of which are not
obvious at the time of construc-
tion. The auditorium of Gaines-
ville high school, for example, has
such large columns running
through it, that visibility of the
stage is out of the question for
many occupants of the room.
The J. M. Lindsay school build-
ing does not have a closet for the
custodian’s supplies- and such
thing as wheelbarrows are kept
in the wings of the stage in the
auditorium.
The Junior High school gymna-
sium has frequently been used for
banquets, especially prior to the
acquisition of the Community cen-
ter building, but the cafeteria is
located at the north end of the
building, requiring the carrying
of food the length of the hall,
when it might just as easily have
been located on the south end.
The committeemen also set May
20 as the day for the Spring
camporee. Details of the campo-
ree will be released at a later
date. Paul Schad, B. A. Dillard
and Curtis Gilliland were named
to the prospect list committee for
the purpose of picking workers
for the finance drive which will
get under way April 19.
The district committee is com-
posed of E. L. Moseley, district
chairman; Henry Kirchenbauer,
chairman of the health and safety
committee; Carroll Sullivant,
chairman of the finance commit-
tee; Leo Schmitz, organization
and extension committee; Joe
Nichols, institutional representa-
tive from St. Mary’s church; J. A.
Gilliland, neighborhood commis-
sioner and member-at-large; B. A. I

tive of the First Presbyterian
church; and Frank Cockrell, field

WASHINGTON, March 15 (TP) — The Senate Armed Services
committee today rejected President Truman’s nomination of Mon
C. Wallgren to be chairman of the National Security Resources board.
plunged into a fresh round of conferences today still seeking
a compromise settlement of the filibuster row. But there
was nothing to indicate that prospects had brightened.
Democratic Leader Lucas--
3. Over 40,000,000 persons
will be subject to federal in-
come tax payments and, with
rates high, temptation to cheat
on tax returns will be strong—
too strong for many.
4. The chief motivations for
tax informing seem to endure
and perhaps to grow. They in-
clude patriotic desire to prevent
evasions by others, disgruntle-
ment of employes, family feuds
and jealousies, and women
scorned.
Informers have been getting a
cut-in on tax-evasion recoveries
for about 75 years. The fiscal year
1948 (ended last June 30) brought
their biggest haul to date.
They picked up $99,975 then—
just $25 less than the total sum
available for rewards—while Un-
cle Sam rang up a record $2,351,-

he would favor an all-purpose

The house also sent back to the
appropriations committee the sen-

bill, the validity of which had
been questioned. Attorney Gen-
eral Price Daniel has suggested
how it can be rewritten and the
house gave the job back to its fi-

Fate of the strife-torn basic

the senate today.
The house late yesterday wound
up 20 hours of debate on the bill,
finally passing it 93 to 43. This
wrangle was stretched out over
three legislative days, including
two last week.
A similar bill requiring all
practitioners of the healing arts

sciences has been approved by a
senate committee. It has not yet
been debated in the senate.

WASHINGTON, March 15 (P)
Tax informers, whose inning
comes after the income tax dead-
line at midnight tonight, should
hit the jackpot this year.
Officials acknowledged today
that the prospects favor a record
pay-off for evidence against tax
evaders because:
1. There will be $500,000
available in fiscal 1949 (ending
next June 30) for paying in-
formers. This is five times as
much as congress ever provided
for that purpose before.
2. The top limit on payments
to informers, 10 per cent of the
taxes recovered on the basis of
their information, has been
dropped. It has been replaced
by a system of rewards decided
on by officials as fair in each
CrW.

would like to drop the whole mat-
ter and get on to pressing legisla-
tion—extension of rent controls
and other things. But it would
like to drop the rule change issue
in a fashion that would let it be
raised again later in the session,
after rent control etc., is out of
the way.
The southern stand is no. They
don’t want an armistice, but a
final settlement holding through
this congress session. A majority
of Republicans have been backing
them in the stand that the senate
ought to go ahead now and settle
the rule change issue, for this
session, some way or the other.
The compromise talk is over
finding some settlement, for this
session, to which all factions can
agree.
Southerners h a ve indicated
they would agree to debate lim-
itation — except on proposals to
change the rules — whenever a
two-thirds majority of the whole
senate, or 64 senators, vote for
one.
Gainesville Produce
Prices paid by Gainesville
wholesalers to farmers and other

Butterfat: No. 1, 50 cents.
Hens: Light and heavy, 28c;

Fryers: 30 cents.
Turkeys: Hens, 35 cents: Toms,

Eggs: 38 cents.
BUT LET IT BE SAID that all
the blame does not fall upon the
architects. Often it is the case,
and we know it to have been true
as regards some of Gainesville’s
school buildings, the funds avail-
able have been too small to realize
an' ideal construction.
When an architect is confronted
by municipal authorities who say
the cost of a building must be re-
duced $25,000 or $50,000, he has to
begin cutting somewhere. Usual-
ly it is the auditorium which first
suffers. If the cut must be too
deep, then the building plans ren-
der the building impractical in
many respects.

NASMUCH AS DESIGNING of
public projects is claiming the
attention of many Gainesville citi-
zens at the moment, there is no
doubt, local interest in the awards
made for distinguished design by
the American Institute of Archi-
tects, now in session at Houston.
A Los Angeles architectural
firm received top rating for the
design of a California school
building, which accommodates 390
students on one level and contains
18,000 square feet. The building
cost $142,000 and is made of wood
frame and stucco on a concrete
slab, the judge pointing out
that these materials are not adapt-
able to all climates. But they
praised its grouping of school
units, the semi- isolation of the
kindergarten unit, and the loca-
tion of an auditorium and other
semipublic areas which can be
used without access to the main
school building.
It is also interesting to note that
GEORGE L. DAHL of Dallas re-
ceived an award of merit for de-
signing a general elementary
school in Texarkana, Texas. Mr.
Dahl is architect for the Sweeney
Diabetic Foundation’s childrens
camp east of Gainesville.
No Damage Done in
Two Fires Monday
The Gainesville fire department
made a run Monday at 4:40 p. m.
to the Townsley Motor company
212 West California, W. C. Simp-
son, fire marshal, reported.
The fire started when a can of
gasoline was knocked over.
Simpson said that it was extin-
guished when the firemen ar-
rived at the scene.
The department also made a
run at 3 p. m. Monday when a
torch, warning traffic of the ditch
in the 300 block of Main street,
blew over and set fire to the
kerosene spiled on the street. It
was extinguished immediately.

On a 7-6 vote, the committee
tabled the nomination. That ac-
tion has the effect of finally bury-
ing it unless some commiteeman
[ changes his mind or the senate it-
I self calls it up.
That procedure would require
only a majority vote, but it is
rarely used.
Senator Byrd (D-Va) joined
with six Republicans on the com-
mittee to tip the scales against
Wallgren, a former senator and
a crony of Mr. Truman.
Chairman Tydings (D-Md) told
reporters about the action after
a closed committee meeting.
He said all the Republican
members voted for the motion to
table and all the Democrats ex-
cept Byrd voted against it.
The motion adopted by the
committee said no evidence re-
flecting on Wallgren’s loyalty
had been filed but stated the for-
mer Washington governor lacks
sufficient “economic and indus-
trial experience.”
Senator Cain (D-Wash), who
led the fight against the nomina-
tion, had accused Wallgren in
public hearings of being soft
toward communism. He also
called him unfit.

By early today the quick

south as Waco in Central Texas.
“The cold front came in pretty
fast and it’ll probably go out just
as fast, considering the time of

The speed of the cold front
caused weather forecasters to re-

weather.
