One of the practices of the in-

relieve the steel shortage, Brown
said, is that pulling one string of
casing where two are in a hole

“I believe we can work out a

successful,” Brown added.
“It should avoid a return of
the black market, and insure de-

Brown expressed belief that
most major companies would be
willing to take less steel if as-

The failure of this year’s cotton crop in Cooke county means
an income loss of $1,000,000 or more to growers and other cotton

County ginners and buyers say only about 500 bales will be har-

Hurricane Picks Up
Speed in Atlantic
MIAMI, Fla., Sept. 16 (A3)—The
small severe hurricane in the
Atlantic picked up a little more
speed today and continued on its
course away from land areas.
It is expected to pass about 300
miles east of Bermuda and head
out over the sea.
Winds were estimated at 140
miles per hour near the center,
with hurricane winds extending
40 to 50 miles from the center.
Ships were warned to continue
to avoid the storm.
It was moving north-northeast-
ward at about 22 miles per hour.
“We can write that one off,”
said Grady Norton, chief storm
forecaster in the Miami weather
bureau. “It is still on our map
and we will keep watch on it,
but only shipping need worry
about it now.”

TOKYO, Sept. 16 (A) — Asso-

Shinn, who broke the story of
the Inchon landing, today was
denied permission by the army to
use the military telephone con-
necting Korean and Tokyo.
He had been using the military
telephone regularly.
Maj. Buel A. Williamson, a
public information officer in Gen.
MacArthur’s headquarters here,
said Shinn, a native of Korea, was
not an accredited correspondent
in the Far East Command.
Williamson said, however, that
Shinn would be permitted to con-
tinue to work for the AP in Ko-
rea and his stories could be tele-
phoned to Tokyo by other AP
men on the scene.
Shinn was the only correspon-

U. S. Marines and South Koreans
had landed near Inchon.

Gossett Raps Federal Try
To Grab Tidelands Income
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16 (A3)—Rep. Gossett (D-Tex) today
announced the proposal of U. S. Solicitor General Philip Perl-
man that Texas and Louisiana be held accountable to the federal
government for oil revenues from lands under the marginal seas
off their coasts.
“The power-hungry, power-mad boys who run the Depart-
ment of Justice and Interior have surprised nobody .in their
proposed decrees in the tidelands cases,” declared the Texan in a
news release.
“They would glady rob the states of their last vestiges of
sovereignty.
Solicitor General Shylock Perlman will continue to do every-
thing within his power to exact from Texas and Louisiana the
last pound of flesh.
“We hope and believe that the 82nd congress will at last act
favorably upon a tidelands bill and save a federal government
from a disgraceful and unconscionable act.
“We will start pushing the states bill on the first day of the
next session of congress.”
Perlman, speaking for the Justice department, asked the
supreme court yesterday to declare that the federal government
is entitled to an accounting from Texas and Louisiana for all
money received from the disputed oil lands.
The request was in a memorandum to the court in connec-
tion with its recent decision that the U. S. has first rights to oil
lands under the marginal seas of the two states.

weather conditions and insect rav-
ages. The cotton failure is general
throughout North Texas.
Several farmers already have
plowed under fields of stalks
which produced too little cotton
to justify picking.
Others plan to do the same
when their fields are dry enough
for working.
Weather conditions this sum-
mer, says County Agricultural
Agent B. T. Haws, have been
ideal for insect infestation.
Cooke county cotton growers
this year, says Haws, have exert-
ed more effort than ever before
in crop spraying and dusting to
poison insects. Frequent rains,
however, have nullified the ef-
fects of poisoning. At times when
poisoning was most needed, the
fields were too wet for farmers
to dust or spray.
Haws urges that growers plow
under their cotton early in order
to elminate hibernating places for
harmful cotton insects.
Since farming in this county is
more diversified than in the so-
called “cotton counties,” individ-
ual growers in Cooke county gen-
erally will not be in as bad straits
as single-crop cotton raisers.
Ginners in West Grayson county
predict that section will produce
600 bales of cotton this year—as
compared with 8,558 bales last
year. The crop failure in that area
is expected to cost farmers about
$1,000,000.

IT IS NOT THE first time in
the Korean war that the military
has sought to restrict news re-
porters for their enterprise in get-
ting the facts first for their em-
1 w" ployers.
it would seem that the military
is determined that newspaper re-
porters print only what the mili-
tary wants them to print when
the military gets ready for them
to do so.
Such efforts to intimidate news
reporters and prevent the free
flow of information the public in
the United States should have, is
deplorable.
AT THE SAME TIME, it is
quite understandable.

very cordial to the American free
press. And it is entirely possible
for military leadership to reflect
that attitude.

restrictions necessary for the se-

it is possible for the military to
make use of “security restric-

people facts they should know.

gathering agencies and newspa-

Trinity River
Threatens to
Flood Lowlands
By The Associated Press
The Trinity river threatened
again today to flood lowlands near
Dallas. Farmers along the river’s
Elm Fork were warned to take
their livestock to higher ground.
Heavy rains in the last few
days were blamed for the rising
waters. Continued scattered show-
ers are predicted for the north
half of the state through tomor-
row.
The Elm Fork rose five feet
between 6 p. m. yesterday and
6 a. m. today. The weather bureau
predicted a rapid rise of several
feet more.
Principal threat was to low-ly-
ing farmlands downstream from
Dallas. Industrial and residential
property at Dallas itself is pro-
tected by high levees.
The Trinity was out of its
banks at Carrollton, and Lake
Dallas was running over its spill-
way.
Only rainfall reported in the
24 hours ending at 6:30 a. m.
today was .23 of an inch at Tex-
arkana and .02 of an inch at

temperature was 103 at Cotulla,

TOKYO, Sunday, Sept. 17 (A)—
Tank-led American and South
Korean Marines, late Saturday
captured the southwest industrial
suburb of Seoul, fought into the
northwest and advanced towards
the heart of the Red-held Korean
capital.
The fast-moving attack has
gained 22 miles since United Na-
tions forces landed at Seoul’s port
of Inchon Friday.
The South Korean Republican
high command announced the ad-
vances in a broadcast from Pu-
san.
U. S. Marines already have
seized Seoul’s Kimpo airfield, 12
miles northeast of Inchon and 15
miles northwest of Seoul.
Allied Offensive Kicks Off
Simultaneously, a full-scale al-
lied offensive kicked off all along
the 120-mile perimeter of the old
defense line in South Korea.
It made good to moderate gains
in hard slogging conflict in rain
and mud.
Most notable advance in the
southeast was made by the U. S.
Second division. It drove back to
the east bank of the Naktong
river—a four and one-half mile
gain.
A second division spokesman
said the Korean Reds were with-
drawing westward in a “general
exodus,” and in “vast, mad con-
fusion.” The battlefield was lit-
tered with their dead.
Other American and South Ko-
rean ground forces went forward
one to three miles against more
determined Red opposition in the
south, north and northeast.
The South Korean high com-
mand announcement, relating to
the Inchon-Seoul area, said U. S.
and South Korean Marines cap-
tured the Seoul industrial suburb
of Yongdungpo at 5 p. m. Satur-
day (2 a. m. CST Saturday).
Other U. N. forces, it said,
crossed the broad Han river, be-
tween Yongdungpo and Seoul
proper, and were advancing to-
wards the heart of Seoul in street
fighting.
The U. S. Marines who took
Kimpo airfield also crossed the
Han and pierced the northwest
Seoul suburb of Neunggok, the
South Koreans reported.
Kimpo Defense Light
A. U. S. Air Force spokesman
said Kimpo was lightly defended
by the Reds and was quickly se-
cured. He said it should be in op-
eration soon. The Leathernecks
swiftly established their Inchon

Five Injured in
Tornado Near
Sasakwa, Okla.
SASAKWA, Okla., Sept. 16 (AP)
Five persons were injured by a
tornado which struck three miles
north of here late yesterday, but
miraculously there were no cas-
ualties when the twister tore a
path through this town.
The town, of 1,000 population,
is 75 airline miles southeast of
Oklahoma City.
No estimate of damage has
been made. More than a dozen
houses, a school bus garage and
two business buildings were lev-
eled or damaged. All power lines
should be restored by tonight.
The storm formed southwest
of town, hit one small section of
the business district, went
through residential areas and
blew itself out after hitting a
car and a farm house north of
town where all the injuries oc-
curred.
The injured, none believed
critical, were:
Charles Lyon, 59, Sasakwa;
I. L. Bailey, 62, who lived north
of Sasakwa; Peggy Wood, 17; her
mother, Katherine Wood, 32, and
her father, Mike Wood, 43, who
lived near Sasakwa.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16 (P)—
Oil men are keeping a watchful
eye on the tightening of economic
controls, hoping voluntary meas-
ures may forestall or minimize
regulations for their industry.
The oil field materials commit-
tee of the Independent Petroleum
Association of America met this
week in Fort Worth to discuss the
situation.
Encouraged by the attitude of
the Texas meeting, IPAA General
Counsel Russell B. Brown re-
turned here contemplating talks
with steel representatives. He
hopes the two industries can get
together on an allocation and dis-
tribution plan.
A five-point program was en-
dorsed by the IPAA:
1. Determination and alloca-
tion by tht steel industry of an
adequate supply of strategic
metal for tubular goods and
other goods of the oil industry.
2. Distribution by the petro-
leum industry itself of steel
goods only where they are in
immediate demand, for the pur-
pose of preventing any accumu-
lation of scarce stocks.
3. Recognition of the needs
of small independent operators,
who can’t plan their activities
far ahead.
4. Discourage individual pro-
ducers from accumulating or
holding unnecessary stockpiles
of steel goods.
5. Sponsor studies and in-
vestigations to learn better
methods of operating and im-
provising so as to lessen steel
requirements.
As an example of the third
point, Brown told of an independ-

in denial by the army in Korea,
of the use of military telephone
facilities to an Associated Press
reporter, seeking to file the latest,
developments in the war to the

The public relations office ex-
planation is that BILL SHINN,
the reporter, and a native of Ko-
rea, is not an accredited corres-
pondent in the Far East com-
mand.
This might have been accepted
as sufficient reason, but for the
fact that Shinn yesterday scooped
all news agencies in the report-
ing of the landing of U. S. Ma-
rines and South Koreans near
Inchon.
While Shinn was dictating his
story, the public relations office
asked AP to kill the story on the
grounds it was premature. But at
the same time the report was al-
ready in print in Korean lan-
guage newspapers and had been

AP ignored the request.

Within 20 minutes, Shinn had

Tokyo he could use and was dic-
tating the story to AP headquar-
ters there.
An hour and 19 minutes later
Major Williamson told the AP
that general headquarters had or-
dered the AP to kill the story on
the grounds that it was prema-

At the time the order to kill
Shinn’s story was issued, General
Chung’s report already was in
print in Korean language news-
papers in Pusan and had been
broadcast by the South Korean
radio. News of the landing was

Korea.
The AP did not kill the story
since it already was out and its

Shinn has been covering the
war since July 7, when he
showed up inside allied linesaft-
er a harrowing escape from
Seoul. He is assigned to the
South Korean military and gov-
ernment headquarters.
Shinn was one of the first
North Koreans to flee from Red-
dominated North Korea after
world war II.
He went to Seoul, where he
became assistant manager of the
Chosen hotel. There he became
friends with some U. S. officers,
for whom he often acted as in-
terpreter, and they took up a col-
lection to send him to college in
the U. S.
After his return, he joined the

vaded South Korea, he and his
family fled south. They were
separated and he has not seen
them since.
board. x
The resignation is effective at
the close of business next Mon-
day.
In an exchange of letters made
public by the White House, Den-
ham reviewed at length his differ-
ences with the board over the
administration and interpretation
of the Taft-Hartley act.
“The futility indicated by such
conditions is discouraging,” Den-
ham wrote, “but does not justify
an abandonment of the principles
that have governed me in my ad-
ministration of the act pursuant
to your original instructions.
“However, you have now seen
fit to request my resignation
forthwith. In obedience to your
wishes I feel that I must comply.
“However, I cannot emphasize
too strongly that while I have
held this office my administra-
tion has been one of honest and
faithful adherence to your in-
structions, and loyalty to the act
and to my oath in all respects.”
Denham has waged a long dis-
pute with the five-member board,
accusing it of showing a “pro-
labor” bias. AFL and CIO offi-
cials have charged that Denham
favored employers in NLRB cases.
“Any comment could only come
from Charley Ross,” Danham
told a reporter. Ross is President
Truman’s press secretary.
Denham’s letter was dated
Sept. 15.
Replying today, Mr. Truman
said the controversy between the
general counsel and the five man
board “is, as you indicate in your
letter, one ‘that should not be
allowed to exist in a govern-
mental agency occupying so im-
portant a part in its influence on
our industrial economy.”
The president added that the
situation is largely due “to the
fact that the Taft-Hartley act it-
self creates an administratively
unworkable arrangement, which
invites confusion and conflict be-
tween the general counsel and the
board.”
“Nevertheless,” the president
added, “it is my duty, so long as
this two-headed arrangement re-
mains in the law, to try to make
it work.”
He expressed gratitude to Den-
ham “for the frankness and spirit
of fair play” in which the resigna-
tion was offered and for “the
service you have rendered in this
difficult post.”
The president did not imme-
diately name a successor.
Labor organizations have been
firing at Denham for months.

for some 105,000 workers. The

The same two unions—the CIO
International Union of Electrical

the company “has no present

which included “an improved
