A move to' speed up a decision
by a Dallas industrial firm on se-
lection of a new plant site is
planned within several days by
Chamber of Commerce manager
Gerald Stephens.
Stephens said Monday he will
contact representatives of the gar-
. ment making concern in Dallas.
He added that information from
a labor survey also will be made
available to other garment manu-
facturing firms.
“There’s no slowing down of
interest’’ in' the prospective loca-
tion of a garment making plant
here, Stephens disclosed. He said
applications in the original survey
among Hopkins County women
continue to be filed at the Cham-
ber office.
’•’Total applications will probab-
ly near 600,” Stephen* estimat-
ed.
"If we could divulge names and
more specific information as to
plan of operation, I’m aatisfied
there would be from 600 to 600
applicants.”"
Stephens will submit a com-
• pilatjon of A recent survey taken
I among applicants who earlier in-
dicated they had previous exper-
ience in garment plants. Informa-
tion forms were sent to 62 wo-
men.
“The information confirms the
amount of experience indicated in
the earlier applications," Steph-
ens explained. The new survey I
gives more ‘ detailed information j
including the types of machines ;
and length of experience.”

(Bo Atm flats* Prtm)
Washington, Dec. 29—The com-
mander of a U.S. task force off
the East coast of Korea says the
reds have plenty of migs and anti-
aircraft guns—and the antiair-
craft fire is getting heavier, f.—
Rear Admiral William Johnson
adds, however, that planes of his
task force 77 fly at will over
Eastern Korea all the way to the
Manchurian border. Johnson said
they some times hit targets on
the Yalu river a few hundred
yards from the Chinese reel sanc-
tuary.
The task force commander said
such targets call for precision
bombing. H« declared the rule is
not to go after them unless there
is absolute visibility and pilots
have been thoroughly briefed.
Johnson gave his views in a
copyrighted interview . with the
magazine U.8. News and World
Report.
Solon Proposes
To LiitPasspori
Held by O'Dwyer
(Ho A tmtmtrd Prtm)
Washington, Dec. 29—A Repub-
lican senator says he’s going to
ask the Eisenhower administration
to revoke O'Dwyer’s passport as
a means of provoking his return
to the United States.
The former New York City may-
or has shown no disposition to
cross the border since resigning as
U. S. ambsssador to Mexico.
In the background is a persist-
ent drumfire of criticism that ac-
companied his elevation to a dip-
lomatic career. While serving as
ambassador, O’Dwyer came under
fire from the Senate Crime Com-
mittee. More recently his name
has cropped up repeatedly in crime
and corruption probes in New
York.
Author of the passport jnovc i*
Republican Senator Arthur Wat-
kins of Utah, who concedes that it.
alone may not force O’Dwyer to
return, but he adds*. “It’s a first
step, and we should take it."
O’Dwyer, however, can stay in
Mexico without a passport, indefi-
nitely, if the Mexican government
grants its approval.

Washingto, Dec. 29—A witness
has told a House Judiciary sub-
committee of what h« Mid was an
apparent attempt to frighten a
New York grand jury against re-
porting on Comtmthlat* oil the UN
staff. T
The witness was Charles J. Har-
sany, assistant foreman of the New
York grand jury. He testified at
the opening today of Washington
hearings on reports that theJus-
tice Department tried to interfere
with the grand Jury probe.
At, one point, Harstny said the
U. S. Attorney for the southern
district of New York—Myles Lane
—asked the jury to delay its re-
port when jurors first discussed
the idea lart October. Harsany
added that later Lane told the
juror* they would subject them-
selves to libel charges if they men-
tioned names in their findings.
Harsany added:
"He left the definite Impression
he wanted to frighten us against
making the report."

Heaviest Flow
Of Traffic Brings
Only One Wreck
The year’s heaviest flow of traf-
fic along U. 8. 67 produced only
one accident Sunday as stream* of
cars marked the end of Chriatwp*-
holiday travel.
A Dallas couple escaped injury
when their car overturned six
miles west of Sulphur Springs at
4:20 p.m. Sunday. Mrs. Estelle
Smith Childress was driver of the
ear1.
The Childress’ were returning
tb their home in Dellas.
, Highway Patrolmen said U. 8.
67 traffic was heavier Sunday
than any previous day this year.
Most cars were west bound, re-
turning holiday visitors to Dal-
las and Fort Worth from points
in East Texas.
Patrolmen said the Childress car
was nearly demolished when it
overturned on the south side «i
the Ijtghwey to avoid s head on
collision with spproaching vehicles.
Mrs. Childress also dodged four
cars stopped in front of. her auto
when she reached the crest of a
hill. Unable to pass the cars be-
cause of approaching traffic, the
driver lost control of the car
after swerving onto the shoulder
of the road
Two traffic violation tkbeta
were issued by Highway Patrol-
men Sunday and one man was
lodged in jail on a drunkenness
charge.

In Brinks Case
Goes te Jail
(Bo AmttUUtd Prtm)
New York, Dec. 29—Presi-
dent-elect Eisenhower and
key Senate Republican lead-
ers meet in New York tomor-
row. Two top subjects of the
conference may be Stalin
and the sizzling-hot domestic
issue of what to do about
price-wage controls.
Senator Robert A. Taft—
slated to be Senate Majority
Leader--and four other key GOP
Senators are to confer with the
president-elect.
In Clarksburg, West Virginia,
today Taft listed the price-wage
controls and Soviet Premier Stal-
in's announced willingness to meet
with Eisenhower on world pence
as probables among the topic* of
the luncheon conference.
There was no formal announc-
ed agenda fpr the meeting. When
Eisenhower’s headquarters an-
nounced plans for the conference,
it wsa described as a meeting to
deal with vital foreign and domes-
tic issues.
A discussion of the whole sub-
ject of filibuster* and civil rights
legislation also has been projected
for tomorrow’s session. Senator
Styles Bridge* of New Hampshire,
another member of. the group com-
ing to New York, told reporters
in Washington the problem will be
among the topics to be talked over.
Matter of Coarse
The Tuesday session at Eisen-
hower’s New York headquarters
will he the president-elect's first
meeting with Senator Teft since
the Ohio Senator criticised the ap-
nointment of Martin Durkin as
Secretary of Labor in the Eisen-
hower cabinet.
Other GOP Senators also were
reported irked them because they
fed the president-elect's headquar-
ter* had failed to cheek such ap-
pointment* through usual senator-
ial channels. Today, an Eisenhower
aide was asked if Ley selections
would be so channelled in the fu-
ture. He replied in these words:
"1 think that would be a matter
of course.”
Adviseri Named
Two groups of advisers have
been named by the president-elect
to help his administration solve
immediate domestic issues.
An informed, source in New
York—who asked not to be named
—said today Eisenhower hts in-
structed one group of sides to
draft recommendations on the
question of extension of wage-
price controls after April 30.
Previously, the president-elect
hkd named a 14-member agricul-
ture I advisory committee to help
draft the new administration’*
farm program.
