Dissioners today to ask the coun-

mile beyond the bridge.
No action waa taken on either
proposal.
Picket School
AUSTIN, Nov. 24 — Demand-
ing the removal of Supt. Roger M.
Powell, 113 upper class students of
the Texas School for the Deaf went
on strike today.
Powell had no immediate state-
ment, but he told Chairman Hall
Logan of the State Board of Con-
trol that the immediate trouble
started when he disciplined five
students.
Bobby Hallmark, one of the
striking students, told reporters
that the group would be satisfied
with nothing less than Powell's re-
moval.
The striking students congregat-
ed on the front steps of the school
in south Austin, carrying signs.
One read: "We demand action.
We want a new superintendent,
nothing more." —<—
Another sign pictured Powell
with a halo around his head. It
carried the words, "Down with
Powell."
Powell told Logan that last week
five students left the study hall and
went to a movie without authoriza-
tion. A supervisor brought them
back to the school, and they were
restricted to the campus. Sunday.
Logan was told, the students left
the grounds again and Powell went
after them
One of the boys ran and was
struck accidentally as the superin-
tendent sought to restrain him, Lo-
gan was told.
Some of the striking students told
reporters the blow was intentional
Most of the members of the deaf
school's undefeated football team
were among the strikers. Girl up-
approximately 600 students. Most
of them are in the elementary
grades. Students from the seventh
through the twelfth grades only
were involved in the strike.
The deaf school has been the
center of a controversy of sev-
eral years. The last legislature
passed a bill removing it from the
jurisdiction of the State Board of
Control and setting up a separate
board, but the measure was veto-
ed by Gov. Beauford H. Jester.
Louis B. Orrill of Dallas, presi-
dent of The Texas Association of
the Deaf, made public a letter
Nov. 6 criticizing the governor's
action, and also charging that Jes-
ter and the control board had
"snugged" a recent round-table
session called here to discuss prob-
lems of the school.
Referring to a recent inspection
of the school by Jester, Orrill said
he had “expected a report highly
colored in its premises and con-
clusions favoring the present set-
up" Jester had said he found
nothing wrong that could not be
corrected with a little more money,
a little improvement in manage-
ment,- and a little less outside in-
terference.
Orrill asked Jester for an in-
vestigation of the school to be
conducted by a group of educators
for the deaf.

FORT WORTH. Nov. 24 —(UP)
— A warning that unions will have
to seek wage increases if con-
gress fails to hold prices down
had been issued here today by
O. A. Knight, president of the Oil
Workers International union (CIO).
Knight made the admonition in
calling upon President Truman to

market, requesting the chief exe-
cutive to limit speculative hold-

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 24 —(UP)
—Federal narcotics agents set out
today to track down an internation-
al smuggling ring whose "runner"
died aboard an airliner while en
route to San Diego with more than
$3,000,000 worth of heroin in his
luggage. * .
Two pounds of pure heroin, s
drug so powerful that even physi-
cians are not permitted to have it
in their possession, were found in
his luggage.
Police estimated the drug would
retail for $3,116,800 when “cut".
A draft card was the only iden-
tification on the body. It bore the
name. Ralph Masey, 308 East 52nd
St., New York City. The address
was that of a dance hall whose
manager said he never had heard
of the dead man.
At another New York address,
given by the man when he boarded
the United Airlines plane in New
York, 320 E. 50th St., the occupants
also said they did hot know him.
Airlines officials said he was ac-
companied to the ticket office by
another man who did most of the
talking. The same man accompan-
ied him to LaGuardiafield, they
said.
WASHINGTON, Nov 24 —(—Sen-
ator Bridges (R-NH) said today
there is a “strong probability" that
the administration’s plan for emer-
gency aid to Italy, France and
Austria will result in a serious food
shortage in the United States.
Bridges, chairman of the Senate
Appropriations committee, made
that statement as Secretary of
Agriculture Anderson testified be-
fore the group in support of Presi-
dent Truman’s request for $597,-
000,000 for emergency aid to the
three countries.
sent, a separate bill must be pass-
ed appropriating the money to pay
‘or it. This will have to come from
Bridges’ committee.
Bridges declared his group will
write no "blank check" for such
lid “no matter how persuasive the
argument in favor of such a foolish
rocedure.”
He said the State department
had failed to provide congress with
a detailed justification of the re-
quest for $597,000,000.
Mr. Truman, - in his personally-
delivered message presenting the
program, told the legislators it

Driver Draws Fine
For Dash Through
T&P Safety Gates
Some people will risk their necks
in spite of all the safety devices
that can be bought.
Drivers frequently go on through
the Texas & Pacific railroad cross-
ings here, when stop lights are
blinking, the bell ringing and the
gates lowered—any one of which
signals clearly means the approach
of a railroad engine
The gates are so situated that a
driver who is determined to defy
death can cross the tracks while
the gates are down. He has to zig-
zag and weave around, but if he
has time, a daredevil driver can
outwit the safety devices.
Police have received numerous
complaints of such driving.
The first person to be fined for
this offense was assessed $5 in city
court todsy.
Traffic laws require that 1 driv-
er approaching a railroad crossing
while any stop signal is on or when
gates are down, must stop within
50 feet but not less than 15 feet
from the nearest rail, and shall
not proceed until he can do so in
safety.
CREAMERIES RETORT
Masey suffered a heart attack
while the plane was flying between
Denver and Los Angeles. He com-
plained of feeling ill and the stew-
ardess gave him an oxygen mask.
She was unable to rouse him to
prepare for the landing in Los
Angeles.
The heroin, wrapped in wax pa-
per in four packages of a half
pound each, was found in his Jug-
gage by a Hawthorne, Cal., morti-
cian.
The man also carried a dock
worker’s card with the name,
"Mazey," but San Diego authori-
ties and.the union had never heard
of him. Police said the clothing in
his bag would not fit him and it
bore a London label.
Lt. W. L. Yoakam of the Los
Angeles police narcotics bureau be-
lieved the man was a messenger
for an international smuggling ring.
“Pure heroin would be 'cut' 40
times before being retailed,”
Yoakam said
“In the form this heroin was
being smuggled, the smallest
amount would be fatal The two
pounds contained 487 grains to the
ounce By the time it was cut to
sell at $5 a grain on the street
corner, the total retail value would
be past three million dollars,”
Yoakam said.
Europe will be curtailed if next
- year’s—grain—crops—are poor.
Bridges said. He added:
“If the State department takes
the purchases to the full amount
and a bad crop ensues, the Amer-
ican people will be subject not only
to rationing but possibly to meager
rations.”
Anderson acknowledged that
“there are some problems” but
he testified:
“By acting promptly and ade-
quately we can prevent a great deal
of human misery, and by so doing

The Foreign Relations commit-
tee has approved legislation to au-

went before the Senate today with
supporters predicting passage by
Wednesday.
But before any actual aid is

To cope with those stresses and
the continuing rise in cost of liv-
ing, he asked for broad economic
controls, including authority to put
on some price and rationing con-
trols if he found them necessary.
The President made his request
only in general terms. Adminis-
tration aides are now presenting
more detailed proposals to various
committees of congress.
BUY ALL WHEAT
Before the Senate-House Eco-
nomic committee, a group of Agri-
culture Department officials asked
that the government be given pow-
er to buy the entire wheat crop,
if necessary to see that it la par-
celled out to the best interests of
the country as a whole.
This would be one of the so-
called “allocation" powers asked.
Carl C. Farrington, head of the
department's Production and Mar-
keting division, said that even if
this and other measures are un-
dertaken, Americans each will
have 10 pounds less meat in 1948
than thia year and it will cost them
more.
TO ALLOCATE COAL
F. Marion Rhodes, an aide who
appeared with Farrington, said the
government also should have al-
location authority (power to say
what use is made) over petroleum,
coal, steel, lumber, fibers (cotton.

added.----------------------------

ing tyranny" of "Communist ag-
gression.”
Vandenberg, who heads the For-
eign Relations committee, left his
presiding officer's chair to open
debate on legislation to authorize
winter relief for France, Italy and
Austria.
He told the Senate he regrets that
President Truman coupled a re-
quest for anti-inflation measures
with the request for emergency aid
and regrets that Mr Truman did
not also ask stop-gap aid for China
The aid proposal, he said, must
not be taken as "a declaration of
economic war between Western
and Eastern Europe, unless Mos-
cow persists in its apparent path
etically mistaken purpose to make
it such to its own everlasting de-
triment.".
‘There is grievous need for the
restoration of East-West trade and
friendship in a 'live and let live'
world," he declared. “Nothing pro
jected in our short or long range
plans will interfere except on So-
viet initiative."
This measure simply approves

disciplined minorities faithfully con-
tribute to the chaos and confusion

quest."
Vandenberg said the President's
request for anti-inflation measures
“invited an erroneous public re-
action ”
He added that the United States
must “be eternally vigilant in re-
spect to conditions on the home
front." or it might “ruin the world"
