Britain Give* U. &

Washington, June 19. (UP)
—Great Britain has turned
over to the United States its
outstanding “secret weapon”
—a radio plane detector
which is expected to shatter
the menace of night bombing.
British Air Commodore
George Pirie made the dis-
closure in an appeal for Amer-
ican volunteers to help oper-
ate the device as members of

“H at any time the United
States should require the serv-
ices of any member of the
Civilain Technical Corps,”
Pirie said, “the British govern-
ment has agreed that they
should be immediately re-
Officials said the technical

WPA Official* AsxUt Comma-
•toner in Check; Project
A*lan* Grant to Be
Submitted.
Commissioner W. C. Crump
stated Wednesday that a final
survey of bridges that have
been either totally or partly
destroyed in this precinct had
been made. WPA officials,
Ben T. Sanders of Marshall,
area engineer, and C. E. Jen-
sen of Center, superintendent
of a group of counties, ac-
companied Hr. Crump while
the survey was being made.
If a project is approved it
will include about 10 of the
larger bridges, spans varying
from two to five, Mr. Crump
said. In the event of accept-
ance, a substantial amount of
the cost would be borne by
WPA and the remainder by
county. It is hoped to have
the work under way in about
30 days, and several months
would he required for its com-
pletion. A project of u.is na-
ture woaid probably give em-
ployment to about 40 or 50
men, we are informed.
The smaller bridges are not
included in the proposed proj-
ect, but are receiving the at-
tention of the local commis-
sioner as rapidly as possible.

On Time
One morning about eleven o'clock—Mrs. Jones called
on Mrs. Smith—
She stayed until the noon tune came—and nothing to
feed her family with—
She was startled—very startled—when the twelve
o’clock whistle blew—
She had never been caught—this way before—and
she knew not what to do.
Mrs. Smith sat calmly—and watched her plight—
with a little mischievous smile—
She said—“I never worry—about quick meals—I’ll
have mine—in a little while—
To the telephone—My Groceryman—he gets it here
on time—
Oh! excuse me please—I forgot to tell—his phone is
NUMBER NINE!”

Native of Rusk County, Resi-
dent of Timpson for Near
SO Year*; Funeral
Rite* 5:30 P. M.
Trammell Pitts Rutherford,
Sr., 64, succumbed Thurs-
day night about 12 o’clock at
the family residence in Timp-
son. He had been in failing
health for several years, and
for about nine months had
remained indoors.
Funeral services will be
held this afternoon at the
Methodist church at 6:30 o’-
clock, rites to be conducted oy
Rev. B. C. Anderson, Rev. J.
L. Bryant and Rev. Neal D.
Gannon. The Taylor Estate
Funeral Home will be in
charge of funeral arrange-
ments. Interment will be in
Woodlawn cemetery.
Mr. Rutherford was a na-
tive of Rusk county, though
the greater part of his life was
spent in Timpson, where he
located almost a half century
ago. During his years of resi-
dence here he was engaged in
the cotton business, and waa
one of the pioneer cotton mer-
chants of this section. His ini-
tial experience began with a
Shreveport concern; for some
ten years he was a buyer for
Tom B. Owens. About 25 years
ago he, with other local citi-
zens formed a cotton com-
pany, Hairston, Rutherford &
Co., prominently known over
a large area.
Mr. Rutherford was a mem-
ber of the Methodist church,
and far many years had served
upon the official board. Prior
to ill health he took an active
part in the work of the Sunday
school and church, and took a
particular interest as a leader
and member of the Men’s
class. He was sympathetic
and understanding of the
problems of others, and many
who have asked his counsel
have been benefitted by his
advice and kind words of in-
spiration.
Trammell Rutherford was
devoted to his wife and chil-
dren and other loved ones. He
was ardent and loyal to his
friends. •
The demise of this good cit-
izen is a source of deep re-
gret to the people of Timpson
and throughout this area who
knew and loved bun.
He is survived by his wife,
and one daughter, Mrs. E. H.

Vichy, June 19. (UP)—Al-
lied forces entered the suburbs
of Damascus late today after ,sh*d8
a six-mile drive culminating a
12-day invasion from Trans-
With favorable weather con-
ditions prevailing the tomato
deal in this city continues
brisk with large receipts at
Jordan, official dispatches
from Beirut reported tonight.
The first official admission
of a direct threat to the an-
cient capital of Syria was con-
tained in the report that Hin-
du colonials and De Gaulliat
French units had thrust into
the outlying fringe of the city.
An earlier communique is-
sued by the Vichy war office
had told of an enemy advance
of “several miles" north of
Kissoue which is 12 miles
from Damascus. But it said the
attacks there had been re-
pulsed.
Heavy fighting was report-
ed raging along the southern
edge of Damascus, where a
Hindu brigade arrived after
ail-day combats surging back
and forth among the promo-
tori ss commanding the ap-
proaches to the city.
Advance Hindu elements
fate in the day slashed into La
Guta oasis, in the center of
which stands the city reputed
to be the oldest in the world
still inhabited.

Slow Plane Builder*
Dallas, Tex. (UP)—County
officials rushed to the North
American aviation plant
near Grand Prairie today to
investigate a complaint of a
work slow-down.
“Work is being retarded
greatly,” company officials re-
ported: ‘Tt will be impossible
to continue working under the
present conditions.”
The "saboteurs” were a
horde of buzzing mosquttoes
that swept in from the flooded
bottoms of the Trinity River.
Car shipments from this
point, so far this season,
reached a total of 39 today.
