fails to achieve this minimum, he

what he will get if he succeeds,
but elsewhere it has been re-

of $100,000 if he produces enough
rain to fill the basin.
Stone is wary about discussing
his technique.
“It’s my own baby,” he said.
“It consists of building up the
water content of clouds, which
takes several days to a week and
then it rains naturally.”
He said he does not use silver

as cloud seeding.

AUSTIN, Feb. 21' (AP) — The

The disciplinary policy was

Rapid Progress
Reported on New
Baptist Sanctuary
Excellent progress is reported
in the construction of the new
First Baptist church sanctuary in
the 300 block of Elm street.
Work on the structure is some
six weeks ahead of schedule as
a result of the unusually good
weather during the fall and win-
ter months, reports Clayton Gil-
mer, building chairman of the
church.
Approximately half the brick
work has already been completed
on the structure which is being
built at a cost of more than $240,-
000
Gilmer expects the sanctuary
to be ready for use by Novem-
ber if the present rate of con-
struction is maintained. All vital
building materials for the struc-
ture were obtained before the
current clampdown was placed
on steel and other materials
needed in the defense program.
Elmo Appleton, local contrac-
tor, is supervising the work, and
the semi-gothic brick sanctuary
was designed by the C. H. Lein-
baugh architectural firm of Dal-
las. When completed it will have
an over-all length of 139 feet
with a 79 foot front.
The first floor will contain
four modern nursery rooms, a
choir, room and two classrooms
in addition to the auditorium
which will seat 1,000 with pro-
visions for 775 persons on the
main floor and 296 in the bal-
cony.
The sanctuary will have a
height of 50 feet with the sec-
ond floor containing eight Sun-
day school rooms, with folding
partition doors, which can be
converted into one large meet-
ing room.
A central heating and air con-
ditioning unit will be installed
for year-around comfort in the
building.
A cloister will be constructed
from the present educational
building to the new sanctuary.
The present church sanctuary
will probably be used for several
years yet, as an assembly room
for the adult department, said
Gilmer. Though approximately
50 years old, the building is
still in good condition. Most of
the Sunday school classes will
continue to meet in the three-
'.tory educational building which
was completed in 1938.
Rev. R. C. Campbell, Jr. is
pastor of the church.
48 Donors Give
Blood By Noon
Reports from the bloodmobile
unit at the Community Center
building showed 48 pints of blood
collected by noon today.
Mrs. W. T. Bonner, county
chairman, said that there had
been few cancellations and that

ing for afternoon appointments.
While she did not think the

The only surprise in the Sen-
ate bill was a section calling for
a mandatory reduction in the
regular or standing forces as
UMT builds up a backlog of re-
serves.
Russell explained it this way:
As soon as UMT has produced
300,000 graduates of its basic
training and put them in the re-
serve, the secretary of defense
must begin semi-annual reduc
tions in the regulars.
There would be one less regu-

reserves until the regulars had
been reduced to 2,006,000.

The project was known by the
code name of “Blue Jay”—pre-
viously publicized as being in
Greenland.
Rice said this project and an-
other air base construction job
in North Africa, known by the
code name of “Atlas,” already
involved expenditures of about
100 million dollars.
As the public hearing opened
today Assistant Secretary of the
Air Force Edwin V. Huggins re-
marked that some military se-
crets or “classified information”
was involved and suggested that
some questions should be an-
swered only in closed-door ses-
sions.
Sen. Hunt (D-Wyo), presiding,
agreed but noted that previous
public hearings on air base proj-
ects had been held Jan. 11 and
12 in New York and Feb.‘1 and
that witnesses were military of-
ficers who knew what they could
say publicly.
Rice asked Pick which work-
ers had been recruited at “premi-
um pay,” sent to a center and
then sent back home to await
orders while getting “stand-by
pay” that amounted to $317,000
at the rate of $4 per day per man.
Their regular pay began when
they left for the job.
State Land Board
Values Acreage
AUSTIN, Feb. 21 (A) — The
State School Land board today
valued 560 acres of vacant oil-
rich West Texas lands at $19,-
482.60, exclusive of minerals.
Most of the acreage was priced
at $40 an acre. The remainder,
97.88 acres, was valued at $10 an
acre.
Only surface features of the
land were considered in setting
the prices. Law bars the board
from considering mineral values,
even though the 15 land tracts
involved knife through the im-
portant Sprayberry oil produc-
tion areas of Midland, Martin,
Reagan and Glasscock counties.
The price decision was made at
a called meeting of the three-
member board after it had stud-
ied for two days the acreage in-
volved in the vacancy claim of
James C. Wilson, Jr., of Fort
Worth.

Atty. Kenyon Houchins, who
sought release of a girl, 16, who
said she had been held in solitary
confinement 186 of 210 days.
Houchins demanded an investi-
gation of what he called “shock-
ing penitentiary conditions” at
the school.
The Youth Development coun-
cil has charge of the state’s three
correctional schools for juveniles.
Three council members in-
spected the girls school Feb. 8 and
said they found its superintend-
ent, Mrs. Maxine Burlingham, a
“superior, capable, and conscien-°
tious administrator.”
The Houston girl whom Houch-
ins sought to free was not re-
turned to Gainesville but was
committed to the supervision of
the Harris county psychiatrist.
The mother said the girl had
“cracked” under the strain of
being in solitary and needed
medical treatment.
The girl testified in Juvenile
court many of the inmates at
Gainesville “cut themselves” be-
cause of boredom. She said many
lived in terror of beating and
solitary confinement.
John H. Winters, council ex-
ecutive secretary, defended the
program of the institution as a
“fine one.”
Gov. Allan Shivers said he
would make a personal inspection
of conditions at the school after
the council has discussed dis-
ciplinary policy.

The Cardenas reservoir, which
irrigates this territory, holds
one-tenth of its three billion
cubic meters capacity. More than
25,000 farm workers are out of

Three men lost their lives as
result of an explosion that blew
the heart out of the Bell Oil and
Gas Company’s Ben FrankliriNo.
1 Oil refinery, one mile north of
Ardmore, Okla., at 6:10 a. m.
Thursday.
The dead:
Fount Duston, 48, still operator,
and cousin of Frank and J. J.
Dustin of Gainesville.
James R. Sons, about 40, boiler
fireman. N
Jule R. Bradshaw,. 38, son of
E. L. Bradshaw, 722 South Dixon
street, Gainesville. Bradshaw
died at 11:45 a. m. of injuries sus-
tained in the blast.
Young Bradshaw was hurled
through the air a distance of 35
feet, landing on top of an under-
ground oil tank. He was in such
a se""is condition the extent of
his i, uries was not immediately
ascei ined. His father went . to
his I dside soon after learning
that ris son was hurt.
News of the tragedy was ob-
tained by The Register from Sam
W. Blackburn, managing editor
of the Ardmore Daily Ardmore-
ite.
There were only two other em-
ployes of the refinery at the plant
at the time, R. B. Cavender and
Charles Buckholtz, neither of
whom was injured.
Also at the refinery at the
time of the blast were two tank
truck drivers, Ross Mundy, driver
for G. I. Oil company, Sanger,
who was loading his tank truck
at the time, about 150 feet from
the plant that blew up, and

saw the ceremony, which was the
second marriage for both. Liz and
Wilding.
They included Wilcox, Miss
Neagle, Wilding’s parents, and

After their escape from the
crowd, the couple headed off to
a reception, with champagne fi-
nanced by Wilcox.
The place of the reception was
kept secret from the crowd. So

departure on a short honeymoon
in France and Switzerland, a
wedding trip from which Wilding

Sub-zero blasts hit the snow-

cold weather spread over wide
parts of the Mid-continent.
The icy weather extended over

Manager OTIS FOWLER of the

that a representative of the com-
pany will be there next week to
look over the town.
There are probably other
towns to be visited by the repre-
sentative. In the ' meantime, the
local Chamber of Commerce, has
furnished the company with a.
wealth of printed matter that
gives a pretty good picture of the
industrial situation hereabouts.
THERE ARE STILL many
people who do not believe that
winter is over in this area, despite
the fact March will arrive next
week and we have had no real
winter weather in the past two
months.
But birds are not so easily
. fooled. And the birds are now
migrating northward.
MRS. SID HORN, 203 South
Grand avenue, called to say that
birds in numbers were flocked
around her bird bath this morn-
ing Wax wings and robins were
in the group. No other species
were observed.
A BAYTOWN MAN was given
a ticket for angle parking on a
Houston street. It seems that the
owner’s car had gone out of con-
trol, knocked down three parking
meters and a truck zone sign,
and flipped over on its back, its
front pointed toward the curb.
A patrolman, whose duty it
is to give parking tickets, was
not affected by the fact the car
was upside down. It was in a
parallel parking zone, so he put
a ticket on the inverted wind-
shield. p
Which reminds us of the
traveling salesman who parked
at an angle in 'front of a local
store at noon Wednesday, de-
posited a coin in the meter,
looked up and down the street at
the long rows of parallel parked
cars, and went about his busi-
ness.
No cop came along before he
came out, retrieved his car and
drove away. Wonder if he
thought all the other cars were
parked wrong.
Sabre Jets Shoot
Down Two Red Jets
By MILO FARNETI
SEOUL, Korea, Feb. 21 (A) —
American Sabre jet pilots shot
down two more Red jets today
bringing their toll this week to
ten.
The two MIG-15s eliminated
today were blown out of the
air during a 20-minute battle
in cloudy North Korean skies be-
tween 27 Amercian Sabre jets
and 20 MIGs.
The 20 Reds swept into bat-
tle out of a formation of 80 Rus-
sian-type jets. The other MIG
pilots watched the fight but
didn’t get mixed up in it.
The kills were credited to Lt.
Billey B. Dobbs of Fontana,
Calif., and Capt. Brooks J. Liles,
of Elizabeth City, N. J.
American losses, if any, were
not announced. The air force
discloses U. S. plane losses only
once a week.
route 1, Gainesville, residing
near the Dye community, was
critically injured about 2:30 p. m.
Wednesday when a power saw
ripped through his abdomen.
The saw, which operates per-
pendicularly or horizontally with
the change of a pin, was in use
by Moore and his brother, Rob-
ert, splitting logs.
While Moore was standing
close to the saw, the pin dropped
out and the blade dropped td 9

through Moore’s stomach.
At noon today, Moore was
showing improvement, but his
condition is still reported as
critical.
Democrat Blames
Truman for Defeat
NEW YORK, Feb. 21 (P)— City
Councilman Hugh Quinn, Demo-
cratic loser in 1952’s first con-
gressional election, says “Tru-
man licked me.”
“I lost out against the scan-
dals in the national administra-
tion,” he adds.
“The election should not have
been decided on national issues,
but the people made it the is-
sue.”
Quinn made the statement to
a newsman yesterday in a re-
view of his defeat by Republi-
can Robert Tripp Ross in Tues-
day’s congressional curtain rais-
er of this presidential year.
Ross had 17,300 votes to 11,442

LONDON, Feb. 21 (TP)—Movie
stars Elizabeth Taylor and Mich-
ael Wilding were married shortly
before noon today in the midst
of a lively mob scene.
The bride, 19, and her groom,
39, arriving separately, slipped
almost unnoticed into the Caxton
Registry hall through a side door
but a crowd of hundreds
descended upon them as they
emerged after the 10-minute civil
ceremony.
Elizabeth radiated happiness
as she was jostled by hundreds of
persons in the corridors of the
hall and in Caxton street outside.
Seemingly the cooler of the two,
she recognized friends in the
milling crowd and shouted greet-
ings to them.
“Everything is going fine,” re-
ported the M. Moran, one of sev-
eral powerful seagoing tugs at
the scene off Nantucket light-
ship.
All 13 men were reported in
good condition except one who
was bothered with pleurisy.
“We expect to reach1 block is-
land about 5 or 6 a.m. tomorrow,”
reported the M. Moran.
The Fort Mercer and the tank-
er Pendleton broke up in Mon-
day’s fierce northeaster off Cape
Cod. Fifty - Seven men were
rescued while six were dead and
eight missing and presumed
dead.
The Fort Mercer was in tow
of the tugs Foundation Josephine
and the Peter Moran. The coast
guard cutter Unimak was es-
corting tow which was moving
at about 4%4 knots.
“They have the stern engine
working,” reported the M. Mo-
ran, “and that is helping. The
forward end is down but they
are taking sea water ballast.”
Sea conditions were good, with
a moderate southeasterly sweil.
On arrival at Block island, the
towing, tugs will be given new
orders on whether to proceed to
New York with the wreck and
the cargo of oil remaining in-
tact in its tanks.
The Fort Mercer’s skipper,
meanwhile, was reported in
“good” condition at the U. S.
Public Service hospital in Port-
land, Me. Capt. F. C. C. Paetzel,
48, Houston, Tex., and three of
the crew were rescued by the
cutter Yakutat from the bow end
of the tanker.
He was suffering from pneu-
monia and frostbitten feet. He
was shoeless during his wait for
rescue from the storm-beaten
bow.
Meanwhile, the coast guard
cutter Eastwind moved into Bos-
ton harbor with the last three
of 21 survivors from the stern
of the Fort Mercer.
Simultaneously, a coast guard
inquiry into The Fort Mercer
disaster resumed here.

Oil Industry
Strike Called
To Start March 3
DENVER, Feb. 21 (P) — A
strike in the oil industry, prom-
ised to hit “where it hurts,” was
called last night for March 3.
“We’re going to hit where it
hurts,” declared O. A. (Jack)
Khight, president of the ClO-Oil
Workers International union,
one of the 22 unions which are
joining together in a strike.
Knight and the other members
of the strike committee refused
to reveal where the strikes, in
support of a demand for a 25-
cent an hour pay raise, will be
called.
“The time is 12:01 a.m. local
time.”
A New York spokesman for
Standard Oil company (NJ),
which has more than 11 per cent
of the nation’s refining capacity,
doubted Knight’s threatened
strike could close Esso down.
“Most of our contracts are with
independent unions,” he said.
