C-C Manager Joe Cooley said
his organization did not yet know
what aid would be requested of
them in labor and other matters,
but “we will help any way we
can. We'll certainly continue our
effort in seeing that other work
in connection with the base is
carried on,” he said.
Start of construction on the pro-
posed base here will end three
years of effort and donation of
more than $850,000 by Abilenians

Labor Charge
Is Challenged
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31 L—Sen.
Kilgore (D-W Va.) challenged to-
day a suggestion by Atty. Gen
Brownell that there may be more
Communists in labor unions than
anywhere else.
And Sen. Hill (D-Ala), a member
of the Senate Labor Committee,
said he thinks the labor unions
themselves can be trusted to root
Communists out of their ranks as
fast as they can be identified.
Brownell said in a copyrighted
interview with the magazine U. S.
News and World Report that he
believes domestic Communists are
“a greater menace now than at
any time.’' w
He added that “I suppose there
are more in labor unions than any-
where else."
Commenting on this, Kilgore said
he has no doubt the Communists

at the Greyhound bus terminal. A
band composed of members of the
Abilene High School Eagle Band,
directed by Robert Fielder, will
give the ex-POW a musical salute.
Then Mickey, his family, and
guests from Hamlin here to meet
him will be taken by police escort
to the H-SU campus where the
young veteran started his college
work before joining the service.
His brother, Bill, is basketball

The heaviest rain in nine
years caused a flash flood
which turned about 40 families
out of their homes in Uvalde
for several hours Monday.
The refugees boosted the
total of town dwellers driven
to emergency shelter by 10
days of South Texas cloud-
bursts to around 3,000.
Late Monday most of the Uvalde
residents were able to return to
the thankless job of cleaning toch-
thick mud from their floors and
furniture. No more rain fell in
the afternoon.
Residents of Robstown and Sin-
ton, near Corpus Christi on the
Gulf Coast also watched flood-
waters slowly recede. It was the
first day since last Thursday that
torrential downpours have skipped
the flood-plagued cities. At least
2,500 were homeless at one time.
Monday night at least 1,000 in
Robstown still were being fed in
emergency shelters by the Red
Cross and local organisations.
Many families moved in with neigh-
boro or friends until their homes
can be liveable again.
More Rain Due
Robstown city officials said it
would be some Ume before the
city is free of water. A lake of
flood water almost three miles
wide stands in hundreds of homes
on the west, northeast and east
outskirts. But the business district
and main residential district were
slowly drytag out.

parts of South and East Texas Mon-

Sgt John Rhoton came home to

The reunion, saddened by the re-

early morning hours at the Sweet-

There, John's mother, critically
ill, had been anxiously awaiting
her son’s return from a Commu-

Korea.
The Longworth (Fisher County)

days after his repatriation by the

Sunday night, arriving in San An-

Hospital authorities said the ser-
geant was suffering from burns
on his leg, but was still well
enough for a leave to come home.
The burns were suffered in an
accident in the kitchen of his POW
camp.
Doctors at Brooke reported sec-

that some third degree burns will
heal naturally without akin graft-

Bible by Balloons
Plan Is Approved
By State Department
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31 un—The
State Department said today it has
no objection to the ides of floating
Bibles by balloon into Iron Curtain
countries.
But if the balloons are to be re-
leased from Western Germany,
permission of the West German au-
thorities will be required, officials
said.
A State Department spokesman
denied that the International Coun-
cil of Christian Churches had been
refused permission to launch the
balloons from the American occu-
pation sone in Germany.
The Rev. Dr. Carl McIntire at
Collingswood, N. J., president of
the council, said in Amsterdam,
Holland, yesterday that the State
Department was obstructing the
plan. A department spokesman
said, however:
“The department as a matter of
principle welcomes spiritual aid of
any kind, including, if feasible the
distribution of Bible texts through
appropriate channels and agencies
to populations in areas deprived of
religious freedom.
“We have therefore viewed with
favor and sympathy efforta by
Western churches to maintain spir-
itual contact with their brethren
in the East."__________

Uvalde Total 4-8 Inches
Four to eight inches of rain

of Uvalde west of San Antonio.
Rain in the Uvalde city limits
measured between four and six
inches.
Harry Carper, weather observer,
said it was the heaviest rain in
that section since 10 inches fell in
the last days of August 1944.
The downpour sent the Leona
River and Cook’s Slough out of
banks and into the Latin-American
section in northeast Uvalde. Car-

LONDON, Aug. 31 on — Western
