Senators
Washington, May 31
(AP) —Democratic Sen-
ator J. William Ful-
briKht said tfodav he still
believes it was unwise for
President Eisenhower to
have taken responsibility for
the U-2 spy plane incident.
Fulbright is chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee,
which is conducting an 'inquiry
into the spy plane case. Ful-
bright set forth his views aft-
er the head of the Central In-
telligence Agency, Allen
Dulles, gave his account of the
U-2 plane. He insisted on
such privacy at t h e Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
hearing that photographers
were not even allowed to take
pictures of him with commit-
tee members before his testi-
mony.
A committee attache says
Dulles talked for nearly two
hours before the first round
of questioning began. And
Committee C h a i r m an Ful-
bright has said it will be up
to Dulles whether anything he
said will be made public.
Dulles read a long prepared
statement to the group — but
provided no copies even to
committee members.
Fulbright, in his comment,
said he has heard no testi-
mony to date that persuaded
him it was wise for President
Eisenhower to have assumed
responsibility for the U-2
flights. Fulbright indicated
that Dulles himself had offer-
ed take personal responsibility
for the spy plane flight which
ended with the U-2 being
downed inside Russia. Ful-
bright said Dulles apparently
had no part in the political
decision that led to Eisen-
hower’s assumption of respon-
sibility.

For Far East
Washington, May 31 14 —
The White House announces
that President Eisenhower will
leave June 12th on his Far
Eastern tour. He plans visits to
Japan, Korea, the Philippines,
Formosa and Okinawa. En

er, he may transfer to the U. S.
cruiser St. Paul for the trip
from Manila to Taipei, the
capital of Formosa.
The White House says it
won’t announce for a few days
whether the First Lady will
accompany the President. Mrs.
Eisenhower had been planning
to make the trip when it in-
cluded a 10-day visit to Russia.
The Russian visit was canceled

east Asia. The President’s com-
ment is in remarks prepared

Eisenhower adds:
"W can take much satisfac-

four miles northwest of Yantis.
The new activity, which is
below 13,000 feet, followed a
wait for casing to set in the
deep hole.
Local oil men said Pan
American is attempting to find
the lower limit of the Smack-
over formation and the start of
salt.
With the hole enclosed by
casing, a smaller drill pipe is
being used in the new explora-
tion, it was reported.
Silence Hold*
Pan American continued to
maintain silence on its finding.
The company was reported still
active in proving titles to its
lease holdings in the area and
also to be buying additional
leases.
Discovery of gas and conden-
sate in the McKee was reported
about two weeks ago at the top
of the Smackover before Pan
American clamped down on in
formation.
One local oil man who has
been close to the development
said lease and royalty activity
has quieted down somewhat in
the immediate area due partly
to the rapid run-up in prices.
The same source said he
doubted if Pan American will
be in a position to announce its
findings in the immediate fu-
ture.

Tucumcari, N. M., May 31
<4M-An Amarillo woman has
identified the body of a wom-
an found shot to death near
Tucumcari as that of her sis-
ter, 41-year-old Mrs. Ruby
Hayes of Marrero, La.
The Amarillo sister, Mrs.
George Christakis, went to Tu-
cumcari after reading a descrip-
tion of the woman.
Mrs. Hayes, mother of eight,
left New Orleans May 22 for
Amarillo to pick up her 17-
year-old son, Pat. She was ac-
companied by another son, 4-
year-old Mel Hayes, Jr.
Sheriff Newel Ramsey of Tu-
cumcari said the small boy was
picked up in an El Paso store
a week ago.
Mrs. Hayes, whose body was
found just off U.S. highway 66
near Tucumcari, died from a
bullet wound in the neck.
Mrs. Christakis says she re-
ceived a call from Mrs. Hayes’
husband, Mel Hayes of Chil-
dress, Texas, on May 23rd. He
said his estranged wife and
ymmg son had stopped (here
on their way to Amarillo. The
car, which Mrs. Hayes was
driving, has not been found. It
belonged to a friend.
Hayes is in the custody of
Sheriff Paul Gaither in Ama-
rillo.
Sheriff Ramsey said El Paso
authorities have been talking
to the 4-year-old son of Mrs.
Hayes. The boy said he was
left at an El Paso department
store by two men who told him
they were going to get some
groceries.
Officials say the car Mrs.
Hayes was driving is believed

When Smith didn’t meet Vikn
at the foot of the cliff, Vikn

searching for him. Sheriff N.
L. Stark of Uvalde said his
office wasn’t notified about the
search until 10 a.m. yesterday.
Three girls from Corpus
Christi found the boy uncon-
scious at the bottom of the
slope. He suffered a brain in-
jury, multiple lacerations and
shock.
Divinity School Dean
Resigns in Protest
Nashville, Tenn., May 31 (41
—The dean of the Vanderbilt
University divinity school and
nine faculty members resigned
yesterday because the univer-
sity refused to re-admit a Neg-
ro sit-in leader it expelled last
March.
Three whi^e graduates of the
divinity school at Nashville said
they will return their diplo-
mas in protest of the univer-
sity’s action and 13 other di-
vinity stud e n t s — including
three Negroes—announced they
will withdraw from ahool.
Dean J. Robert Nelson said
the refusal of chancellor Har-
vic Branseomb to re-admit the
Reverend Janies Lawson, Jr.,
for the summer term was "de-
structive—upon the confidence
and morals of the divinity fac-
ulty and others.”
“The future of the divinity
school is now gravely imper-
iled,” he added in a letter to
Branseomb. “No one can pre-
dict how long it will take for
the damage to he repaired.”
Branseomb, who had just re-
turned from a speaking en-
gagement in Jackson, Tenn.,
issued this statement last night:
"In a matter of this import-
ance, involving so many mem-
bers of the divinity school fac-
ulty, I do not think that I
should act on these resigna-
tions, but should refer them
to the trustees of the univer-
sity who will undoubtedly wish
to examine the issues involv-
ed.”
Earlier, university officials
released a statement from him
which said, in part:
"In this emotionally charged
situation it would tie impossible
to deal with Mr. Lawson on tha
same basis that one would deal
with any other student.”
Expelled in March
Lawson was expelled March
3rd at the height of Nash-
ville’s sit-in demonstrations,
during which about 150 stu-
dents were jailed. He was to
have been graduated Sunday.
Several restaurants since have
integrated their lunch counters.
Nelson called the refusal of
the university to re-admit Law-
son the "feeble acquiescence by
university authorities to a pub-
lic image of Mr. Lawson which
was both distorted and defam-
atory.
"It was a clear repudiation
of the freedom of expression
and action of a mature person,
acting upon the motivation of
n Christian, moral conviction.”
The dean is a ftinner secre-

Washington, May 31
(AP) — The Supreme
Court ruled today that
the federal government
is entitled to oil-rich sub-
merged lands more than
three geographic miles off the
coasts of Louisiana, Mississip-
pi and Alabama. It held that
Texas is entitled to submerg-
ed lands off its coast to a dis-
tance of three leagues, or
about 10 and one-third miles.
The court also decided that
Florida is entitled to a three-
marine league belt of land un-
der the Gulf of Mexico, sea-
ward from its coast line.
Justice Harlan wrote the
court’s main opinion in the
case, a matter of long contro-
versy involving millions of
dollars. Harlan, however, dis-
sented as to the Florida deci-
sion.
Justice Black wrote the
court’s main decision in the
Florida case.
Black dissented in the cases
of Louisiana, Misaissippi and
Alabama. He favored giving
them the same treatment as
Texas and Florida.
Chief Justice Warren and
J u s t i c e Clark disqualified
themselves from the case.
Justice Douglas dissented as
to Texas. He said, however,
that Florida’s claim waa fully
established.
The Justice Department had
asked that the states’ submerg-
ed property in the Gulf of
Mexico be declared confined
to a three-mile belt around the
coastline. The five states all
insisted that congress give the
states ownership of offshore
lands as far as their historic
boundaries. They said they
should be declared owners of
submerged lands as far aa 10
to 20 miles.
Wilson, Daniel
Pleased With
Court Action
Austin, May 31 141—Attor-
ney General Will Wilson, when
be heard of the U.S. Supreme
Court decision in favor of Tex-
as’ tidelands, said in Austin:
“This is a wonderful day for
Texas.”
“Thu decision releases the
development of the oil rich
tidelands and will mean a new
era of development on the Gulf
coast. This is a wonderful vic-
tory for the school children of
Texas.”
Wilson said about 30 mil-
lion dollars had been placed in
escrow for Texas tidelands
since the case was filed almost
3 years ago.
Governor Daniel, after hear-
ing the Associated Press story
on T e x a s’ tidelands victory,
aaid:
“It’s great, isn’t it? The Su-
preme Court has apparently
reversed one of the most dan-
gerous trends of our time.”

Hopkins County’s wolf pop-
ulation took a record down-

dispatched by county residents
interested in the $7.60 bounty
offered for each kill.
County Auditor Ben Wood

16 wolves during April,
Wyatt accounting for nine
these.
