Khrushchev
Makes Bid
For Talks
Moscow, Oct. 24 (AP)
—Soviet Premier Khrush-
chev said today that Rus-
sia will take no reckless
decisions nor be provoked
by what he termed unwar-
ranted actions of the United
States. Khrushchev added: “We
Will do everythiny; in our pow-
er to prevent war from break-
ing out.” Then he went on to
say: “The United States gov-
ernment must display reserve
and stay the realization of its
piratical threats which are
fraught with the most serious I
consequences.” In a massage;
to British philosopher Bertrand,
Russell, Khrushchev also made
an apparent call for a summit
conference.
The Soviet premier’s mes-
sage was in reply to a plea
from Russell for Soviet ef-
forts to avoid a nuclear war.
Khrushchev is quoted by Mos-
cow radio as saying: “We
would consider a meeting at the
highest level would be useful
to discuss all questions that
have arisen to eliminate the
threat of nuclear war.
President Kennedy already
has hinted he would agree to a
summit meeting. Khrushchev
coupled his apparent call for a
summit conference with repeat-
ed calls for the United States
to back off from its naval
blockade of arms shipments to
Cuba. He warned that the situ-
ation could get out of control
and a war might break out. He
added: “We fully realize that
If war should break out that
it would he a nuclear war from
the very first hours. This is
very dear to us. But evidently
it is not clear to the govern-
ment of the United States of
A merica.”

MINIMUM OF TROUBLE
Huge Refinery Tank
Moved on 3 Trailers
A huge cylindrical tank
weighing more than 100,000
pounds was moved from the
Cotton Belt railroad tracks on
the north side of Sulphur
Springs to the site of Pan
American Petroleum Corpora-
tion's new refinery northwest
of Yantis with a minimum of
difficulty Tuesday.
The trip took two hours and
35 minutes.
The tank, which is more
than 107 feet long, was trans-
| ferred from railroad flat ears
to three truck trailers with a
total of 1 1 axles. The load-
ing operation required about
two hours.
The final over-all assembly
weighed a toLil of 104.000
pounds and extended over 135
feet.
The convoy left the Cotton
Belt at 5:30 a. ni. and moved
diagonally across the down-
town square, which had been
cleared of the few cars pres-
ent at the early hour. The
e o u r s e eliminated difficulty
with a turn at the Church
Street corner.

Why I Support
The United Fund
Firemen Race
To Fifth Alarm
By Cecil D. Ward
These are the reasons I like
the United Fund:
Prior to the organization and
setting up of the United Fund
in Sulphur Springs, I was call-
ed upon to spend a consider-
able amount of time in attend-
ing organization meetings mak-
ing plans for drives for the
various units now included in
the United Fund.
M aking our contributions
through the United Fund in a
united way attracts united ef-
fort with considerably less ef-
fort on the part of everyone.
I like the United Fund be-
cause it is a simple, conven-
ient way to make my contribu-
tions all at one time for a
twelve month period. I think
all of the participants of the
United Fund are worthy anil
would contribute to them each
individually anyway with a sep-
arate drive, but 1 much prefer
to make my contribution at
one time, which saves my time,
the time of the business I rep-
resent, and my fellow citizens’
