he expects no new relief requests.
His forecast was surprising, be-
cause it has seemed likely Presi-

Ptional funds for rehabilitation and
other kinds of American aid for
nations hard hit by the war.
Korea has been mentioned as
one possible recipient of help and
other countries are expected to

President signs into lew the $400,-

bill now before him.
A Senate-House committee
agreement yesterday on the terms
the $350,000,000 relief measure
“will be submitted to both cham-
bers next week. Because of its
terms, Congress is expected to
take no action on a special United
Nations fund to provide medicine
and nourishment for Europe's
hungry children.
The conference committee
adopted a provision earmarking
$15,000,000 to $40 000.000 for this
fund in effect, the bill would

When other nations make their
contribution, the United States
would put up additional money at
a rate which would make its con-

critical” as President Truman flew
from Washington to her bedside.
“Complications have set in," the
physician, Dr. Joseph W. Greene,
reported. “She suddenly went into
chills and general delibity.”

Flight From
Sentence Ends
Six-month flight from Taylor
county officers to evade payment
of fines and court costs aggregat-
ing $276.50 and the serving of 30
days in jail came to an end this
week for Katherine Rogers, about
35, formerly of Abilene.
Sheriff H. T. Fleming and De-
puty Sheriff G. L. Fox returned
her to Abilene Friday from Ste-
phenville, where she had been ar-
rested by the city marshal on a
■’lookout'' notice posted by Taylor
county in the Texas Department
of Public Safety law enforcement
bulletin. <
The woman eluded officers here
last November, when they went to
a dance hall to arrest her, after
appeals had been denied her in
two Taylor county convictions.
Telling officers that she wished to
go and get her baby out of an
automobile before going with
them, she got in the car and fled,
officers reported. Statewide search
for her had proven fruitless until
the Stephenville marshall picked
her up this week.
Mrs. Rogers was tried and con-
victed in Taylor county court Feb.
12, 1946, on a charge of possession
of whiskey for purpose of sale and
fined $100 plus costs and assessed
30 days in jail, records of the
county clerk's office show. Costs
now amount to $40.90. She was
tried and convicted Feb. 13 in Tay-
lor county court on a charge of
adultery and fined $100 and costs
of $35.60.
She appealed both cases to the
Court of Criminal Appeals When
notice was received here in Nov-
low home of the President's moth-
er, Brig. Gen. Wallace Graham, the
President’s personal physician,
said too that her condition was
critical.
Graham has been here since last
Friday, when he flew from Ran-

Advised of his mother's critical
turn, Mr. Truman hurried to the
airport in Washington and took off
for Grandview at 6:45 a. m. (CST.)
He and his mother have always
been very close. Since she broke
her hip in a fall in mid-February,
he has made several flights home,
if only for a few hours, to cheer
her up and to see for himself how
she was progressing.
