Cotton Men Map
Fight On Ceilings
Tuesday Evening, March 6, 1951
By thy Associated Press
Cotton exchanges la Taxaa and
ether southern states remained
closed today for trading in cotton
features as growers mapped a fight
deavoring to calculate their maxi-
mum sales prices' find that the ex-
port price celling on Lubbock cot-
against new price ceilings.
Sharp criticism was the almost
unanimous reception of the week-
end action of the Office of Price
Stabilization in putting price ceil-
ings an raw cotton at the farm.
In Washington, southern legisla-
tors announced plans of an attempt
to get Congress to kill the order.
Dallas cotton traders sod ship-
pers demanded Immediate remov-
al of the order describing It as
“unworkable, unenforceable and
absolutely unnecessary ”
J., M. Locke, president of the
Houston Cotten Exchange, said the
order would destroy one of the
most efficient marketing systems
ever devised. He said members of
the ’exchange were "stunned” by
ton is $3.15 per bale higher than
1 similar cotton originating at Hous-
ton.
“As ■ result,” Locke said, "tt
automatically reduces the Lubbock
the order.
"There are many ridiculous sit.
uations brought about by the or-
der." Locke said. “As an illustra-
tlon, the ceiling price at Lubbock
is 75 cents a haje less than Hous-
ton. However, merchants in en-
price ceilings $3.15 per bale on
export sales. All of the interior
points in Texas would have to re-
duce their prices to meet the port
export price." .
E. F. Creekmore, president of
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange,
predicted that major cotton ex-
changes would remain closed if
the order stands.
Chairman Maybank (D-SC) chair-
man of the Senate Banking Com-
mittee. which handles price con-
trol legislation, said the cotton
price order sets up a policy that
could be extended to meat, wheat
and wool which are not controlled
at the farm.
20 Gypsies Held
By Dallas Officers
DALLAS, March s. un —Sheriff
Bill Decker said he would file va-
granry charges today against V
Deputies arrested the wanderers
yesterday at a camp near Gar-
land Decker brought them to the
county jail to be photographed and
fingerprinted.
Officers have been on the look-
out for Gypsies since six divided
tribes gathered here recently to
watch over a wounded boy, Law-
rence Young, 15, shot near Browns-
ville about two months ago by
another Gypsy. Police said they
feared violence would break out if
the boy died. Ite is now recovering,
and officers thought the Gypsies
had moved as Some of them had
been jailed as vagrants.
Detective Capt. Will Frits said
the Gypsies arrested yesterday
told him they were traveling from
Brownsville to Arkansas. Frits
said be thought they had come
from Arkansas into Texas.
"These tribes are probably stir-
red up over what has happened
around here toe past week," PHt
said. “They don't like to be put
in jail and probably want to come
back an dsteal us blind.”

COLORADO CITY, March 6. —A
prowler, who apparently baa a
charmed life, is causing the Dar-
den family here ne little amount
of trouble. .
Mrs. Pauline Darden and her
eight children are not getting much
sleep these nights at their farm
home two miles south of here on
the Seven Wells road.
Since the last Saturday night in
February, the Dardens have had
an unwelcome prowls r pay his re-
spects , almost every night.
The Darden boys, armed to the
teeth, stood guard Monday night
with some neighbors.
Doors and windows have been
rattled by the prowler. An out-
side light has been shot out, and
faces have, peered in the window
on occasions.
“He was wearing a mask," Mrs.
Darden said.
Sunday night waa the most
momentous of them all. The burg-
lar paid at least three calls and
waa shot at several times, but ap-
parently waa not hit.
Sheriff Dick Gregory came out
Sunday night and stayed at the
house until 'about 1:30 without
seeing anyone.
However, at I a. m. someone
struck the house several times with
a heavy object, looked In the win-
dws. and left for the night.
“‘Somebody’s going to get shot,’
says Sheriff Gregory, shaking his
head.—es----------------------

Flays Book
Used by AHS
John Davis Chapter, Daughters
of the American Revolution, has
adopted a resolution protesting use
of a government textbook now be-

The book is “American Govern-
ment" by the late Frank Abbott
Magruder, formerly professor of
political science at Oregon State
College.
Action of the DAR was inspired
by a broadcast made by Fulton
Lewis Jr., Nov 27, 1950, Mrs. E.
L. Harwell, chairman of the press
relations committee, said
Mrs Harwell said the John Da-

‘communistic.” w

Williams stated he felt that in
some instances Magruder phrased
his opinions a little carelessly but
. that he did not feel the book as a
whole is subversive. At the time it
was adopted, he believed it to be
the best available.
He said the edition of Magrud-
er’s book now being used here is
being studied for the first time
this year and that it was adopted
under "a five or six-year con-
tract" It was selected by Abilene
schools after being adopted by the
