their choice
Draft Director Lewis B. Her-
shey said the draft boards at the
same time will grant a 30-day
postponement period for such
students, to commence at the end
of the statutory postponement—
that is, on the last day of school.
Draft age students now in high
school or college have been given
blanket postponement of induc-
tion until the end of school term.
A selective service spokesman
said students who have received
orders to report for induction
may. apply for cancellation—in
order to enlist—at any time.
A new order to report for in-
duction may be issued to any
such registrant who is found not to
have entered active military serv-
ice by the end of his 30-day post-
ponement period, Hershey said.
The report summarized and ex-
plained the instructions previous-
ly issued regarding the privilege
of students to enlist in the service
of their choice at the end of the
current academic year.
It also explained a recent order
granting postponement of induc-
tion to mid-year college gradu-
ates to enable those with highly
technical skills to find jobs in the
expanding defense program.
Selective service said a great
deal of confusion had resulted
from the two others, and there-
fore the explanations today were
deemed desirable.

Freezing drizzle had set in at
several North Texas towns. Abi-
lene, Wichita Falls, Dallas and
Fort Worth were among the first
to report it.
Rain At Waco
Light rains also were falling at
Longview, Waco, and El Paso.
Temperatures were freezing or
below over practically all North
Texas. They were expected to go
even lower over all the state ex-
cept the Rio Grande valley to-
night.
The valley, already staggering
from effects of two freezes and a
record drought this winter, may
get freezing temperatures early
Thursday, a long-range forecast
said.
Temperatures there early to-
morrow probably will be in the
mid-30’s, the weather bureau said,
but may drop tomorrow night.
Tentative estimates of low tem-
peratures in the valley area early
Thursday included: Brownsville
32, Mission 28, Raymondville 28,
Rio Grande City 28, Laredo 26,
Carrizo Springs 24, Falfurrias 26
and Harlingen 30.
The cold wave was expected to
strike hard at the rest of the state
tonight.
The lowest forecast was 5 to 15
degrees in the Panhandle. The
South Plains low was predicted at
10 to 20 and the rest of West
Texas could expect a 20-28 range.
Low temperatures forecast for
East Texas were 20-28 in the
north except 14-18 in the extreme
northwest and 28-32 in the west
central portion.
Light snow was forecast for the
Panhandle and South Plaihs, and
for the northwest portion of East
Texas. A few showers were in
store for the rest of East Texas
reaching the extreme south and
coast tonight.
The forecast for all the state

Th unarmed bandit walked out
of the bank and apparently no-

The gunman ran out with the
other sack and jumped into an
old pickup truck. A filling station
attendant, Delbert Veason, fired
at the man but missed.
The truck stalled after only one
block, and as citizens gave chase,
the bandit ran across the street to
another car. He ordered Julio
Cortez, 45, to drive.
Cortez told him he couldn’t
drive and when he did the bandit
emptied his gun at him, wounding
him in the elbow.
Then the gunman walked into
a feed store and surrendered.
The posse then started hunting
his partner. They found Dugie

with the money sack. He offered
no resistance.
Roy Stamps Witness
At Milk Hearing
DALLAS, Feb. 13 (P)—Earle
Cabell, Dallas milk distributor
testified today against a Federal
milk marketing order proposed
for the North Texas area by pro-
ducers. m
Yesterday, the North Texas
Producers association concluded
its testimony in behalf of the
order, which would embrace mar-
kets in 16 cities in the area. The
hearing, conducted by the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture, has been under way all this
month.
Cabell testified that the federal
order sought by NTPA would
boost the retail milk prices in
North Texas at least 112 cents per
quart.
Roy Stamps, manager of the
Crystal Dairy Products Co.,
Gainesville was an earlier wit-
ness for the milk distributors. He
denied that his firm had quit
buying milk from certain pro-
ducers because they were NTPA
members.

Allied Planes Busy
Allied planes in low-level
strikes aimed to break up the
mounting threat to the main
west-west road in northern South
Korea.
Once in possession of the road,
the Reds would be in position to
strike east or west behind allied
lines. They would menace the
four or more divisions along the
western front in the Seoul area,
and 10th corp units holding the
central front line near Wonju.
There was little ground fight-
ing Tuesday compared with
Monday’s blazing battle around
Hoengsong. American and South
Korean troops had fought their
way out of the trap sprung by a
100,000-man Red force and had
taken up new defensive positions.
Much of Tuesday was spent by
both allies and communists in
regrouping for new fighting.
But there was one clash 15
miles west of Wonju. An allied
force drove back into the hills
a Red column striking for the
Wonju-Yoju road.
Flu Outburst at
Orange Is Said To
Be Worst Since ’17
ORANGE, Tex., Feb 13 (A) —
Physicians in this city of 21,000
are working night and day to
handle what one official says ap-
pears to be the “worst outbreak
of influenza since 1917.”
The two local hospitals have
waiting lists and are taking “only
the most serious cases.”
Dr. H. Key, director of the
city-county health unit, made a
survey of physicians and said the
epidemic appeared to be the
worst since 1917.

March 3 Deadline
To File Candidacy
For Council Posts
Deadline for filing application
of candidacy for the posts of two
city councilmen whose terms ex-
pire this year is March 3, less
than three weeks away.
This is in accordance with law
which requires that all applica-
tions for names to be placed on
the ballots must be in the city
secretary’s hands 30 days before
the election.
This year’s municipal election
falls on April 3, the first Tues-
day of that month.
Short-term councilmen whose
terms expire are J. Robert Evans
of Ward 3 and Kenneth R. Neal
of Ward 4. Both men have indi-
cated they may not run again,
providing other candidates enter
the race.
Four days after the city elec-
tion comes the multitude of
county school trustee elections,
on Saturday, April 7. Deadline
for filing for these positions is
March 27, 10 days before the
election.
The county school board will
elect members for commissioner
precincts 2, 3, and 4; five inde-
pendent school districts in the
county will elect two or three
trustees; and eight common
school districts will elect between
one and three trustees.
There is no school trustee elec-
tion in Gainesville, since the dis-
trict is municipally operated and
its trustees are appointed by the
city council.

The little girl was found just

searchers had rushed to find her
before temperatures dropped.
Jack Bolton, a Jacksonville
member of the Texas National

She was brought to town about

determine whether she might be
harmed by exposure. However,
she appeared to be unhurt.
About 300 persons searched for
Judy last night until the hunt was

They also sent a bill allowing

NIXON, Texas, Feb. 13 (AP).—
Two drunks who County Attor-
ney E. W. Patterson said decided
to rob a bank were charged today
with taking $11,000 from the
Nixon State bank.
One of the men sat on the post-
office steps, a sack of money at
his feet, and waited to be arrested
yesterday by a posse of fast-walk-
ing citizens.
The other gave up after a brief
shooting flurry. One man was
slightly wounded.
District Attorney Willis Ellison
of Gonzales identified the men as
Glenn H. Hayes, 27, and Ed
Dugie, both of Marble Falls.
Patterson said both would be
charged with robbery by fire-
arms. He said Hayes would be
charged with two counts of as-
sault to murder and Dugie with
one. They were held in jail at
Gonzales, the county seat.
Farmer Jones went into a law-
yer’s office and said, “If my
neighbor’s mule breaks down the
fence and gets into my garden
and destroys $50 worth of my
vegetables, can I collect dam-
ages?” The attorney said, ’’Abso-
lutely.”
The farmer started towards the
door. The lawyer asked, “Aren’t
you going to sue?” The other re-
plied, “No, just to be sure to get
an unbiased opinion, I told you
the other fellow’s side.”

__By A. MORTON SMITH--
/CANDIDATES FOR city offices
U do not have as long to make
up their minds as they did in
years past.
City elections now conform to
the state election laws which re-
quire candidates to file for places
on ballots 30 days in advance of
the election, so that absentee
voting can proceed according to
state law requirements.
The old custom was to give a
candidate until about 10 days be-
fore the election to file, and thus
absentee voters had only a week
to get their ballots and return
them in time for them to be
counted. As a result, many people
who sought to vote in city elec-
tions, were barred by the time
element.
We look for a quiet, city elec-
tion this year, in contrast with
last year’s spirited campaign for
city council posts. A majority of
the councilmen hold over this
year.
THE NEW COLD WAVE blew
in on the 52nd anniversary of the
coldest day ever in Gainesville’s
history, but we hope that it does
not presage any .new records.
The weather man says the cur-
rent cold wave will be of short
duration, and not in any sense of
the word as severe as the previ-
ous wintry blast.
But the contrast in tempera-
tures of Monday afternoon and
Tuesday morning was severe.
When the mercury drops from 85
to 26 in less than 24 hours, it is
a marked change that is felt
keenly by everyone.
AN EFFORT TO REMOVE
Cooke county from the expanded
senatorial district with Grayson,
Fannin and others, failed as the
state senate adopted a redistrict-
ing bill Monday.
The expansion of the district
puts SENATOR JOE CARTER of
Sherman in the same district
with SENATOR JOE RUSSELL
of Royse City. Carter represents
the present ninth district which
includes Cooke county.
Cooke county would have been
shoved into a district with Mon-
tague and adjoining counties, if
the proposed amendment had
gone through.
Efforts to avoid linking Cooke
with Grayson county in a house
district, have not been defeated
as yet. REP. AUSTIN WEST-
BROOK drafted a new redistrict-
ing bill, when it appeared he
might not succeed in putting
Cooke and Montague counties
together in a house district. What
luck his bill will have in the
house remains to be seen.
The senate acted with only
one day of debate on its redis-
tricting bill. The house has been
considering such a bill for more
than a week.

“By the time a child enters
school at seven, goes through 12
grades, takes two years of col-
lege he’ll be 25 years old,” Nim-
itz said. “Lots of children are
ready to start school when
they’re five years old. I’m trying
to take care of those born in
September, October, November |
and December.”
Present law says a child must |
be six before the start of the |
school year in September. |
The house also got a dummy
tax bill to work on.
Rep. Jim Lindsey of Texarkana, |
chairman of the house revenue |
and taxation committee, intro- |
duced a measure repeating pres-
ent taxes is what is known as
the “Omnibus Tax Bill.” It covers
such items as oil, sulphur, liquor,
radios, carbon black, chain stores
and natural gas.
“This bill does not have the
10 per cent general increase ap-
proved in the special session last
year,” Lindsey said.
“It’s just a dummy to work on.
I think we’ll need an increase,
but that depends -on too many
factors unsettled at present.”

WHERE RED BLOWS ENDANGER U. N. DRIVE — Black arrows locate the areas where
Chinese and Korean Reds have struck back at U. N. forces. On the central front (A) the Reds have
rammed a dangerously deep wedge into U. N. lines with one column southwest of Hoengsong
threatening the Wonju road. In the west Red defenses in Seoul (B) forced U. N. patrols to with-
draw from the outer edges of the city. On the east coast a South Korean column drove into Yang-
yang, north of the 38th parallel. The broken line is approximately the front prior to the Reds’
attack. (AP Wirephoto Map)
