Were forced down on account of

Friction With Rumm
Could Bring Huffe Rue
Oyer Truman's Figure,
Senate Group Aver*
By Jack Ball
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. (AP)
The nation may be'asked to spend
as much as $16,500,000,000, for
defense next year if friction with
Russia continues. Senators dis-
closed today.
This would be 50 percent more
titan President Truman has asked
in his |>eacctime record budget
for the 12 months beginning Jull
I. ' .
The estimate of future military
needs came from members of the
Senate" Armed Services commit*
tee after a closed door conference
with the high command yesler*
day.
Weald Kill UMT
They said Gen. Eisenhower, re-
tiring Army Chief .of Staff, and
other top ranking generals and
admirals advised that the Army,
Navy and Air Force must be
brought *up to date quickly.
One Senator said the reports of
new,. staggering military costs
dampened the chances that Con-
it ress i will approve compulsory
military training any time soon.
Such a program would add about
$2,000,000,000 a year to the de-
fense budget.
However, Chairman Gurney (R-
Sp) told a reporter U e commit-
tee will hold more conferences
before it decides whether to go a-
4*ea<i with *he traininr proposal.
"" Expect A-Bomb Attack
Gen. Eisenhower and others in
the high command wfere said to
have told the- Senators yesterday
the way they think the next war
will be fought.
It may begin, they were quoted
as say I n?, with • an aerial attack
on the United States qsing the
atom b6mb.
This was one of the reasons
given for haying a large reserve
of trained men to take 0\er ruin-
ed cities and man essential indus-
tries.
Million Men Needed
The United States was describ-
ed us needing 1*000,000 trained
men to occupy ahd guard the out-
lying air bases froip which It
would launch its aerial counter-
attack upon the enemy.
Beyond that, Eisenhower and
the others were said to agree
that the linal defeat of an enemy
can be accomplished only Ipy a
large, well trained ground .force.
This is why thoy want universal
military training. '

Warned To Answer
Traffic Saaunons
The city of Orange has adopted
a new system of summoning vio-
lators of-traffic regulations and
motorists today had a warning
from City Judge A.- H- Prwice that
failure to comply with the "invi-
tations" adds a second flneable
offense to the first.
Under the new system, the
traffic officer apprehending a mo-
torist for a traffic Infraction ob-
tains the violator's signature to a
summons qnade out in triplicate.
If tlie motorist refuses to sign
the slip he is taken into the police
station at the time.
One copy of the summons is
given to the motorist, the second
is filed with the city Judge and
the third is kept by the jvoliee-
man. Each officer follows up on
his own tickets, checking with
the Judge daily to see If any or his
"customers" fail to appear as re-
quired and hunts down any mo-
torist* who do hot show - up.
Judge Prince said today that
the usual fine for (ailing to an-
swer the summons, which is add-'
ed to any penalty assessed for the
original violation,-is tl5. How-
ever, he pointed out that a fine up
to $200 can be imposed for ' ne-
glecting to appear in court. \
Today's letter frqA Judge
warning. It fouqw*?
"Get that drivel ,license. You
may be stopped by an officer
anywhere In Texas and asked foi
your driver's license. If you do
not have one on your person, you
may be taken before a court' and
fined tor this neglect.
"Thank you for staying at
home Friday night.
"See you in traffic court.'"*

Food Store Here
Hit by Burglars
' An undetermined amount ol
money was taken from the cash
drawer of Carter's food store at
307 Tenth street Monday by burg-
lars.
Police said that the area had
been patroied and that the front
door lock had not been disturbed
when the regular check of build-
ings was made. Neighbors in the
vicinity said that they-had heard
noises about 10:30 Monday night
but had not investigated further.
According to an employe of
the store, the front door panel had
been broken in, the money taken,
and a number of checks strewn
on the fioom It was impossible,
she added, to determine if stock
or cigarettes had been stolen at
the same time. It was her opin-
ion that the rifling had been done
by someone familiar with the set-
up in the store.
Polltfe Chief E. L. Nance and
Identification Officer Zack Kirk-
land are malting an investigation.

The speaker dwelt at hmgth on

ple as compared with tho e of

said, the llra/ilian liusbami Is su-

ted to go to almost any extreme
to make himself so recognized.
He related an incident in which
a Brazilian colonel killed his
wife (because she had made a se-
lection of a husband for their
daughter without consulting her
husband, He said that the Courts
exonerated the colonel for the
act, which Wits classed as "justi-
fiable".
Because of ttie narrow range of
temperature in that portion of
Brazil where he lived, which was
from 40 to 711 above zero, no'heat-
ing stoves were used by tlie na-
tives, Itev. Ingrain said, lie re-
lated his experiences, during a
tour of Indian villages far remov-

natives were worshipper* of their

idea of natives . that those who
died in (lie daytime, would in-
herit a delightful refuge, and
those dying at night would re-
