At 6 a.m. rain was falling at
Abilene, Dallas, San Antonio,
College Station, Brownsville, La-
redo and Waco.
The pre-dawn temperatures
ranged down to 54 degrees at
Dalhart, behind the cold front
in the Panhandle, while readings
elsewhere run as high as 78 at
Dallas.
Tornadoes-—dr ea d e d off shoot s
of dying Beulah—-have been re-
ported in several South Texas
areas this morning.
And the Weather Bureau
says more twisters are likely
during the day as rain storms
of tremendous proportions build
up.
A tornado watch is in effect
until 3 p.m. for the following
area: 50 miles on each side of a
line from 40 miles southwest of
San Antonio to 30 miles east of
Victoria. The alerted section is
bounded approximately by line
from Eagle Pass to Lulling to
Kerrville to Cotulla to Rockport.
Beulah is no longer of hurri-
cane strength but remains a
dangerous storms as it pushes
deeper inland across South Tex-
as. Weather Bureau experts say
from 10-to-15 inches of rain is
likely to accumulate in the
storm’s track.
Tuleta—70 mlies northeast of
Corpus Christi, has had almost
14 inches, Victoria 8.30 and
Alice7.28 inches of rain.
State police at 8 a.m. reports
of 34 tornadoes had been receiv-
ed in Texas since 6 a.m. yes-
terday. Since that time—sever-

Mighty Hurricane Beulah fin-
ally has dwindled into a tropical
storm—but still a powerful and
destructive influence on Texas
weather.
Official trackers reported at
5 a.m. that Beulah’s top winds
dwindled to 65 miles per hour
near the center by the time it
reached a point about 60 miles
west of Corpus Christi—or 10
miles per hour less than mini-
mum hurricane force.
Its remnants are expected to
keep on moving westward to the
Del Rio area by tomorrow.
Meanwhile, there have been
torrential rains and widespread
flooding in the wake of the hur-
ricane.
Nearly 7 inches of rain pour-
ed down and wind gusts up to
84 miles per hour hit Alice,
which is 40 miles west of Corpus
Christi. Even heavier deluge fell
in the same general area, meas-
uring up to 13.80 inches at the
village of Tuleta, 70 miles north-
east of Corpus Christi.
Flood waters rose into down-
town business places and scores
of homes at Alice, but most of
the city’s residents had fled
ahead of the storm.
School Systems
Be Surveyed by
HEW This Fall
Elementary and secondary
school systems in all 50 states
will be surveyed this fall to ob-
tain information about the ra-
cial characteristics of student
bodies and faculties, the De-
partment of Health, Education,
and Welfare announced today.
Previous surveys have cover-
ed school aistriots in 17 South-
ern states which have historical-
ly operated dual school systems
Just recently Miss Dlabaj was
chosen by members of the
school’s Pep Squad to be that
organization’s vice-president. To-
gether with her family she is ac-
tive in several Czech societies in
Ennis.
GI Education
Checks Are to
Be Upped
Veterans now in school will
soon receive automatic increases
in their GI Bill education checks,
Jack Coker, manager of the VA
Regional Office in Waco, said to-
day.
The new amounts will be in-
cluded in checks scheduled to
arrive in November—the new
rates having become effective
October 1.
The rate increases were pro-
vided in Public Law 90-77 sign-
ed last month by the President.
Single veterans taking full-
time courses have been increas-
ed from $100 to $130—veterans
with one dependent from $125
to $155—and veterans with two
dependents from $1150 to $475.
An additional $10 will be pro-
vided monthly for each depend-
ent in excess of two.
Proportionately smaller allow-
ances will be paid for part-time
training, Coker said.
a company that has been in bus-
iness 615 years. He said that the
list of customers is steadily ex-
panding.
‘:As to typewriters, most of us
take them rather for granted, as
they are vital to business—but
what good is a typewriter with-
out a ribbon. The first type-
writer as we know the machine
today was built in 1867 by Rem-
ington, now Remington Rand.
By the way, there are twelve
major companies who make rib-
bons in the United States to-
day ,doing a $143,000,000 busi-
ness. Around 2% billion ribbons
are used a year. They are made,
respectively, of cotton, silk and
nylon.” He said that he and C. B.
Bourland figured that if a rib-
bon was made in all the possible
variations, it would turn out to
be 10,000 ribbons. He said h i s
firm ships all over the country
and last year manufacturing 30,-
000 dozen ribbons.
Mr. Albertini said that he had
a choice of several good towns
but chose to stay here in Ennis
and establish the business, and
that “the plan for our new build-
ing was drawn on a paper nap-
kin over at Dan’s (Town House)
one day.” He said he works six
fulltime employees and two part
time and that the roster will
grow as steadily as the business
grows.

districts were survey last year.
An additional 2,000 of the na-
tion’c largest school districts
will be surveyed for the first
time this fall. Most of them have
never operated dual school sys-
tems. These districts each enroll
a minimum of 3,000 students.
They represent less than ten per
cent of all districts, but an esti-
mated 70 per cent of the na-
tion’s public elementary and
secondary school students are
found in them.
Peter Libassi—director of the
department’s office for Civil
Rights said—“under Title VI,
this department has a responsi-
bility to assure itself that stu-
dents in districta which received
Federal aid are not being sub-
jected to discrimination or being
denied the full berreritis of edu-
cation programs on the ground
of race, color, or national
origin.”
