THERE ARE THREE candi-
dates in the race from Wichita
county and one each from Den-
ton, Montague and Jack coun-
ties. Thus all sections of the dis-
trict are represented.
All of the candidates except
Jackson have been in politics
before and have participated as
candidates in other elections.
Jackson told us this morning:
“I never have tried anything like
this before, but I am going to
work hard at it.”
All but one of the Red attacks
were described as light.
But south of Kumsong, east of
the fallen iron triangle, Chinese
forces made “a large probing at-
tack,” the 8th Army reported.
It was halted, as were three in
the Yanggu sector of the east
central front and four northwest
of Kansong on the east coast.

WASHINGTON, July 24 (A) —
Government officials say they
are going ahead with an order
which would restrict use of nat-
ural gas in areas which face a
shortage.
Secretary of the Interior Chap-
man and C. Pratt Rather of the
petroleum administration for de-
fense (PAD), an Interior depart-
ment arm, said yesterday they
have not backtracked because of
a House vote to curtail their
power.
Before it passed its extension
of the economic controls act, the
House voted in a provision which
would prohibit any natural gas
curbs from applying in any state
where a public agency exercises
authority to restrict gas use.

ENTRANCE OF A Republican
in the race probably stems from
the fact that a Republican won
a similar election in the Ama-
rillo district last year and served
out an unexpired term.
But when he entered the gen-
eral election last November in
competition with a Democratic
party nominee, he lost out.
Over in Dallas, a Republican
was elected to the legislature
over the Democratic nominee
last November.
All of which proves Repub-
licans can be elected in Texas—
but not often.

Failure To Call Jury
Delays Murder Trial
CANTON, Tex., July 24 (P)—
Failure to notify the sheriff to
call a 100-man special venire has
caused the postponement of the
murder trial of U. S. (Uly) Den-
ny, 45, charged in the shotgun
slaying of three East Texas
farmers.
The trial was set to begin yes-
terday in the 86th district court
but has been postponed until
late August or early September,
according to Judge A. A. Daw-
son.
Judge Dawson said he did not
notify the sheriff to call a venire
because a material witness was
absent.
Denny is charged with the
slaying of George Dixon, 41, Ben
Taylor, 50, and Steve Bolt, 81,
all neighbors. George Gammons
of Myrtle Springs was a witness
to the shooting.
District Attorney Joe Tunnell
said Denny had given no motive
for the triple shooting except to
say that he was “tired of Taylor
telling things on me.”

Wilson reportedly contacted
Murphy Monday and arranged
for today’s confab. Purpose of the
get-to-gether was an attempt by
Wilson, on Burnett’s behalf, to
reach some sort of out-of-court
agreement, which would be suit-
able to Gainesville citizens, who
recently filed an injunction
against Burnett to prevent him
from switching regularly sched-
uled Gainesville Owl home games
to Longview.
A regular hearing on the in-
junction has been set for Friday
morning at 10 o’clock in the
Gainesville court house, but to-
day’s move was staged in an ef-
fort to settle the dispute before
that time.
Judge Louis T. Holland of Mon-
tague has been appointed to pre-
side over the Friday meeting.
Meanwhile, the meeting be-
tween Murphy and Wilson con-
tinued at noon today but no
agreement was reached.
Wilson offered to return money
to box seat and sign owners for
the remainder of the season and
also pay an undiscolsed sum of
money. That sum was not suffi-
cient to satisfy local parties so
the hearing will be held Friday,
according to Murphy.

The snag was not described as
a deadlock. Both Harriman and
members of the Iranian govern-
ment’s oil nationalization board
still expressed “satisfaction” with
progress made in the talks so far.
But after 10 hours of discussion
yesterday in the bedroom of ail-
ing Premier Mohammed Mossa-
degh, the Iranian cabinet still had
not reached agreement on the
basis for resuming formal nego-
tiations with Britain.
Both Harriman and the Iran-
ians were understood to have sub-
mitted proposals “along the same
general lines,” according to a
source close to the negotiations.

acceptance of Iranian government

A couple of Irishmen were
walking home one night. One
said, “I wish I had a pasture as
big as the sky” and the other
said, “I wish I had as many cat-

The first one asked, “Where
would you pasture that many cat-
tle?” The other replied, “In your
pasture ‘‘
Pat exclaimed, “What! Without
my permission?”—and that was
the start of a beautiful fight.
Two Kilkenny cats started to
fight and one leaped on the oth-
er’s back and the other jumped
on his back and they kept on till
they climbed clear out of sight
and the air rained cat-hide and
fur for two days and nights.

Jewelry Taken from Pair
Stolen on West Coast
AMARILLO, Tex., July 24 (A5)
—Sheriff Paul Gaither said jew-
elry taken from a couple jailed
on counterfeiting charges was
stolen on the west coast.
He said yesterday he didn’t
know where nor from whom the
two rings and diamond bracelet
were taken.
Gaither said two Los Angeles
policemen, Johnny Sublett and
Jack Hooper, told him the jew-
elry was stolen. The detectives
left Amarillo Sunday after ques-
tioning Hilton Simon Mermell, 45,
New York City, and Mrs. Mer-
cedes Maxine Callinicos, 33, Hol-
lywood.
Officers said questioning indi-
cated the couple may be con-
nected with an international
crime syndicate of alien smug-
glers, jewel robbers and counter-
feiters.
The jailed couple was arrested
in a tourist court here July 12.
Police found $17,000 counterfeit

House Critics To Get
Chance at Acheson
WASHINGTON, July 24 (TP) —
House critics of the State depart-
ment • get their long-awaited
chance this week to try to knock
Secretary Acheson off the fed-
eral payroll.
The showdown will probably
come tomorrow, when the House
considers amendements to the an-
nual money bill of the State,
Justice and Commerce depart-
ments and the federal judiciary.
In advance of the voting, Tru-
man administration leaders
voiced confidence they could halt
the “get-Acheson” drive, although
they conceded the vote may be
close.
An amendment that would
have the effect of removing Ache--
son from the payroll — although
not from his job if he wants to
serve for nothing — is being
drafted by Rep. Phillips (R-
Calif).
It has strong backing from
Republicans and f r o-m many
southern Democrats, although not
all Republicans are expected to
support it.
offered $18,960,000 for the Mata-
dor Land & Cattle company, the
Scottish firm that ruled the Pan-
handle spreads.
Lazard Brothers, a banking
firm which also has offices in
New York and Paris, heads the
syndicate which has bought the
big ranch. The syndicate also re-
portedly includes 17 newly
formed American cattle com-
panies.
S tockholders of the company
had been given two months by
Bankers Lazard Brothers, Ltd., of
London, to decide whether they
wished to sell. Some 77 per cent
of the 800,000 shares of stock
were held in Britain. The re-
mainder were American owned.
The two ranches total about
812,000 acres. The Alamositas lies
in Oldham and Hartley counties,
on the New Mexico border in the
northern part of the Texas Pan-
handle and covers about 400,000
acres.
The Matador lies northeast of
Lubbock, Tex., and stretches al-
most to the southwest tip of the
state of Oklahoma. Parts of it
lies in five counties—Floyd, Mot-
ley, Cottle, Crosby and Dickens.
The previous announcement of
the impending sale said the 47,-
000 Hereford cattle on the ranges
went with the land.
There was no mention of the
ultimate aim of the American
syndicate for the two ranches.
Rumors said the buyers
planned to dissolve the company
and sell the land.
Both ranches are under lease
for oil exploration. Under terms
announced by the London bank-
ing firm handling the sale, share-
holders of the Matador company
would retain part of the mineral
rights after selling.
John MacKenzie of Denver,
Colo., American manager of the
properties confirmed the sale to
him, Stevens said.
Stevens said he knew no de-
tails, other than the company had
been bought by a group of Amer-
icans.
Two Men Charged
In Bombing Home
Of Dallas Negro
DALLAS, July 24 (P)_Two
men were charged here early
today with one of the South
Dallas Negro home bombings.
Charged shortly after mid-
night before Justice of the
Peace Bill Richburg were Ar-
thur Eugene Young of Green-
ville, Hunt county, and Claude
T. Wright.
Police Chief Carl Hansson said
Wright owned his home in South
Dallas and that Young was a
relative.
Young was arrested in Hunt
county. Wright was arrested on
a Dallas street.
The two men were charged in
the June 24 bombing of a house
at 2214 Eugene. It had been pur-
chased by a Negro woman, Doris
Jean Andrews, a month before.
A dynamite blast partially
wrecked it.
South Dallas has been rocked
by eleven bombings in less than
18 months.
During the same period there
have been five other bombings
in the city. .
The arrests came dramatically
on the eve of a special grand
jury selection to probe the tense
South Dallas racial situation.
The blue-ribbon panel of civic
and business leaders is to be
picked in district court later
today.
The arrests were the first
made during a year and a half
of intermittent bombings of
South Dallas Negro properties.
Most of the bombings were in
fringe areas, once exclusively
white, where Negro property
buyers were moving in. The last
one, two weeks ago, blew up a
new house built for Negroes in
a Negro development, however.
Hansson said police would con-
sult with the district attorney
and probably turn the whole
matter over to the special grand
jury.

ADVANCE HEADQUARTERS,
Korea, July 24 (AP)—United Na-
tions truce negotiators return to
Kaesong tomorrow for a yes or
no answer from the Communists
on a Korean war armistice
agenda.
The Red North Korea Pyong-
yang radio indicated today the
answer will be “No.”
U.N. delegates insist cease-fire
talks omit any discussion of with-
draving foreign troops from Ko*
rea.
In an unofficial answer Pyong-
yang radio quoted the Communist
“Korean Central Press” news
agency:
“All our people demand with-
drawal of all foreign national
troops from our territory.”
(The Moscow radio, monitored
by the U. S. army in Tokyo, car-
ried a slightly different version
of the Communist news agency’s
comment. It said:
(“Our representatives in Kae-
song resolutely insist on the final
solution” of the troop withdrawal
question. The Allies have left the
door wide open for a “final” solu-
tion of the issue, but have refused
to take it up in negotiations for a
cease-fire.)
The five Red negotiators un-
doubtedly have received new in-
structions from Peiping and
Pyongyang since Saturday. On
that day they called for recess of
talks which had bogged down
over this Communist demand.

Army and air force troops -
were sandbagging the levees in
a struggle which may be deter-
mined today or tomorrow.
Short but heavy rains up-
stream in the St. Louis area
kept the river from receding as
rapidly as was expected there.
In the Alton, Ill., area—20 miles
northeast of St. Louis — streets
and basements in five communi-
ties were flooded yesterday.
Weekend rains in Kansas kept
rivers up there also.

cording to Robertson, got on the
wrong side of the highway and
collided with a Mid-Continent
Supply company pickup truck,
driven by La Moine Fuller, 25,

going south. Damage to the Ford
was figured at $75 and to the
pickup at $35. Preston was
charged in justice court Tuesday
with driving on the wrong side
of the road.
While investigating this wreck,
Robertson noticed a 1942 Chev-
rolet, with a side bashed in, pass
by. Knowing that the wreck to
which he was originally called
involved a hit-and-run driver,
Robertson left this accident to
overtake the north-bound Chev-
rolet and arrested its driver for
driving while intoxicated. It
turned out he was the hit-and-
run driver.
The DWI charge was filed in
county court shortlv before Tues-
day noon against Cleve Hunter.
The hit-and-run wreck oc-
curred 4.5 miles north on high-

struck was a 1950 Plymouth,

___By A. MORTON SMITH--
THE REPUBLICANS have a
E candidate in the race for con-
gressman from the 13th district
to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation recently of ED GOS-
SETT.
The candidate is JOE JACK-
SON, 34-year-old oil operator,
who was a captain in the Air
corps during World War II and
flew 47 combat missions.
The Republicans tried hard to
get the election conducted like a
general election by having party
tickets, but the laws require the
special election to be conducted
without candidates being desig-
nated by parties. Thus, Jackson
must make himself known to the
voters as an individual rather
than a Republican.
The man or woman, there is a
woman candidate, needs to get
only a plurality to win—one
more vote than his or her near-
est competitor.
day and filed four complaints in
connection with the trio of mis-
haps.
No one was injured, but prop-
erty damage resulting from the
collisions totaled an estimated
$301.60, Robertson reports.
At 4:15 p. m. the partolman
was called to an accident 6.2
miles west of Muenster in Mon-
tague county. An oilfield truck
had rammed into the side of a
automobile which had pulled
over to the shoulder of the road
in order to enter a roadside park.
Charged with following a ve-
hicle too closely in a Montague
justice court Monday was Asa
Leon Damron, 46, of Wichita
Falls, driver for the E. A. Holder
oilfield truck, a 1951 Ford. The
truck struck the side of a 1940
Ford, driven by Will Barnes, 69.
of Saint Jo. Barnes was charged
for no driver’s license. Damage
to the auto was set at $100. Both
vehicles were going south, Rob-
ertson said.
About 8:20 p. m. Robertson ran
across a wreck while en route to
investigate another. It occurred
2.2 miles north of Gainesville on
highway 77 at the site of the new
highway’s construction.
