One Bull’s
Bulletin
.•y FRANK M. CARTER
The Daily Smokestack ran out
of their safety stickers but more
are available now. Safety is a
thing that more people are more
conscious of now than formerly.
W. L. (BILL) FREUDENRICH
told Us the other day that he was
hauled down by the siren of a New
Mexico highway policeman and
thought he had committed some
Rheinoug crime—it so happened that
the patrolman who apprehended
, Bill only wanted to know where he
had acquired the safety bumper
stickers for his automobile. The
New Mexico Highway Department
at Clovis will receive their stickers
from the Daily Spokesman right
away.
While we’re on the subject of
safety, we think of a lot of slogans
like “Live and let live;’’ “Drive
«*sanely”; "Stay on the right side
v#f the road;" "If you drink don’t
drive;’’ "Watch the line in the mid-
dle of the road;” "Stay alert and
stay alive”; "The life you save
may be your own”; and dozens of
others such as these above quoted.
Surely people are safety conscious.
It is not the intent of any individual
to cause an injury or death to any
pedestrian or fellow traveler, but
safety measures can alleviate
some accidents.
JI The great outdoors is wonderful
and we've been sleeping outside
for sometime due to the hot
weather, but the other morning
when we woke up with a great big
beetle in our ear, we almost throw-
ed in the towel. They won’t hurt
you, but they sure might make you
have a runaway.
People get into a rut—the ordin-
ary man sees only a few people
each day. We, for one, have never
rdjeen too much for service clubs
• Jaut we will say this—that the as-
sociation that these men enjoy
each week adds a whole lot to their
dally life. The more people you
know the better off you are and
service clubs afford their members
the opportunity of knowing the
others. The Old Shipper thinks
these service clubs serve too much
chicken and not enough beef and
are trying to starve us old bull
shippers to death.

pretty smart last night when he

It so happened that he was the
daddy of our favorite party and
we’ll give another fast runnin’ buck
to the first person that gives us his
name. Call the Spokesman this
morning after 8 o'clock.
« ► We have, in the past, cussed the
•^Department of Agriculture and oth-
er branches of the Government
that are associated with agricul-
ture. We want. here, to take a
backtrack and say that the work
being done by the soil conserva-
tion service is a boon to any area.
Right here close to Pampa we have
a man, that we will tell you about
later, who has done a tremendous
job in reclaiming nonproductive
range lands. This work can be of
benefit to all of us old bull raisers
s#<and we’re sure for it.

AS: IT’S THE GREATEST PLACE

■*' BURBANK, Calif., July 16 IP—
Fred Tortenson, 11, figured he was
a cinch to win the smallest-entry
division of a pet show.
His frog measured just 44 inch
from stem to stem. ...........
But the frog jumped, attracting
the attention of another entrant,
a rooster named Chickie. The roos-
ter swallowed the frog.
The judges awarded Chickie a
double prize as (A) the most un-
usual entry and (B) possessing

smallest entry.
The frog’s wailing owner re-
ceived a consolation second prize

Shivers Sees
Easy Victory
By The AsBoFiRtedi Press
Gov. Allan Shivers predicted
Friday night he will win a third
term by a big majority.
He made the prediction in an
interview shortly before aiming
five questions at Ralph Yarborough
and saying his opponent doesn't
dare answer them.
Smear and Smother
Yarborough himself said Friday
a last-minute “smear and smother”
campaign has been launched
against him. but that it is too late
Yarborough coined a new phrase
for Shivers: "Captive candidate of
the CCC—the Cadillac, champagne
and caviar crowd.”
Before asking his five questions
in a Dallas television speech,
Shivers said he doesn't expect
Yarborough to answer because
"he does not dare offend the
people who are paying for this
campaign.” The questions:
Tidelands Veto
1. "If you had been governor
in 1952, and the Democratic no-
minee for president had told you
he would veto the Texas tidelands
bill—what would you have done?
Would you have turned your back
on him—or on Texas?”
2. "Is it true that you are the
candidate of the CIO-PAC, pledged
to fight the battles of Walter
Reuther and his array of labor
bosses—or will you, like Allan
Shivers, fight against the attempts
of outside bosses to take over the
working people, the politics and
the government of Texas?”
3. "If you are elected governor,
will you continue the campaign
launched by Allan Shivers to put

Ready For Rodeo
Betty, 17, is the daughter of Mr.

Pampa, and she had ridden Snip-
per around a set of barrels behind
the Osborne home twice a day for
three months, preparing for the big
Top O’ Texas Rodeo.
Now, though, pensive Betty will
have to ride another horse. Snipper
Cody is gone.
The bay pony was ridden in the
barrel races, a cowgirl-sponsor con-

Furlough, Orders - Selling
Ring Bared At San Antonio
SAN ANTONIO, July 16-UP—
The Air Force ordered two men
held Friday for a possible court
martial on charges of selling fur-
loughs. overseas orders and over-
seas orders cancellations.
Reliable sources said they are
suspected not only of peddling fur-
loughs and getting overseas ship-
ping orders canceled for a price,
but also of getting men sent over-
seas at the instigation of their
enemies.
The civilian attorney for the two
men said the racket may be
widespread. The men are a ser-
geant and an airman first class,
whose names were not disclosed
immediately. They were charged
under article 134 of the uniform
code of military justice.
“Catch-All"
That article is a “catch-all’’
charge that concerns conduct pre-
judicial to good order. But their
attorney, Joel Westbrook, said
Army officers are "clearly aiming
at charges of soliciting and ac-
cepting bribes.”
Operated at Randolph

10 Killed
In Maryland
Plant Blast
CHESTERTOWN, Md.. July 16
JP—A. sprawling fireworks and mu-
nitions plant on the west edge of
Chestertown suddenly erupted in
90 minutes of mushrooming explo-
sions today and at least 10 were
killed.
Between 50 and 60 were hurt,
but only seven were hospitalized
and none of them was in critical
condition. They had broken bones,
cuts and burns.
Picture on Page Eight
Most of the victims were elderly
women who worked on assembly
lines putting together firecrackers,
detonator fuses, and training
shells.
Five hours after the first blast,
rescue workers finally managed to
work their way into ruins of one
of the main buildings of the Kent
Manufacturing Co. and found no
more bodies there.
Bombing Feared
Residents of Chestertown, a
farm and college community of
about 3,100 directly aci-oss Chesa-
peake Bay from Baltimore
thought for a moment they had
been atom-bombed.
Sheriff Bartus Vickers ordered
everyone out. The evacuation was
in process when the explosions
slacked off shortly after noon.
About 10:30 there had been a
muffled explosion in “B Building.’
where an assembly line was busy
putting together M80 training shells
for the armed forces.
Chain Reaction
The place burst into flames and
the shock started a chain reaction
through the 65 buildings on the
20-acre plant site. Bundles of fire
works exploded in the air.
The first 10 bodies recovered
came from “Building B," one of
eight larger structures destroyed.
Twenty-two smaller buildings, 15
feet square and spread out for
safety’s sake, disappeared. Many
housed the treacherous explosive
lead azide, a nitroglycerin qpih-
pound used in detonator fuses?*
Death Morel*
Is Revealed
HANOI, July 16-UP—A Bataan-
like death march of 41 days
through the steaming jungles of
northern Indo-China killed almost
500 of the French Union troops
captured by the Communists at
Dien Bien Phu, freed survivors re-
ported Friday.
Those who lived through it
marched from Dion Bien Phu to
Thanh Hoa, an airline distance of
200 miles but twice as far through
the jungle, while their Red guards
plodded at the flanks of the totter-
ing columns shouting a cadenced
“faster, faster, faster."
“The men who fell were left to
die where they dropped,” one of
the returned prisoners related Fri-
day. "Nearly 500 of our comrades
were abandoned on the road.”
Two hundred French Union cap-
tives were handed back in ex-
change for a like number of Viet-
Minh prisoners. Tne exchange of
sick and wounded prisoners was
made July 14-15.
Marched 41 days
The most famous of the Dien
Bien Phu prisoners, Brig. Gen.
Christian DeCastries, the French
commander, was taken to a secret
prison on the Chinese frontier, the
prisoners reported.
The day after Dien Bien Phu
fell, French prisoners were lined
up and started out through the
jungle to Thanh Hoa, where they
arrived June 18 or 41 days later.
"Ve marched in files of 300 men,
in single lines, Indian fashion,” a
Foreign Legionnaire said. “From
dusk until 4 or 5 o’clock in the
morning on rations of 800 grams of
rice a day.”
FPC Freezes Intersta

WASHINGTON, Tuly 16 A»T-The Supreme Court's June 7 ruling in
Federal Power Commission (FPC) the Phillips Petroleum Co. case.

Drunk Call
Trips Up
Fugitive
An early morning chase and in-
vestigation prompted by a routine
“drunk call’ resulted in the cap-
ture of a man wanted by the state
of Michigan for prison parole vio-
lation, Gray County Sheriff Rufe
Jordan said Friday night. The
man is being held here, awaiting
arrival of prison officers from
Jackson, Mich.
The incident involved a black
Cadillac sedan, its driver who
temporarily lost $50. a staff ser-
geant who was .hitchhiking back
to Amarillo Airbase a private who
was on a mercy mission to see his
sick mother and who lost a $100
aid chedk from the Red Cross; the
parole violator; a 42-year-old wo-
man- who wearied of her way of
li/e back in Arkansas, and who
left nine children at home, age 7
to 26. and hitchhiked away; two
deputy sheriffs, and two cases of
beer.
Caught At Groom
It all started when Deputy Sher-
iff Jim Shelton of McLean had a
call from Mrs. Lois Miller at her
cafe on Highway 166 at 1:30 a.m.
Thursday, concerning "a carload of
drunks.’’ When the deputy arriv-
ed there, however, the car had gone

Thomason Angry
"A tragic blow” to gas produ-
cers, royalty owne-s ana the state
treasury, declared Chairman Er-
nest O. Thompson of the Texas
Railroad Commission, the state’s
oil and gas regulatory body.
“It’s the type of thing we’ve been
battling against in all this federal
control,” Gov. Shivers said in
Dallas.
"It makes necessary further ac-
tion by Congress, because the fed-
eral Natural Gas Act specifically
exempts producers from this regu-
lation.
Invade State
"It is a further attempt by the
Supreme Court and the FPC to in-
vade state control. It might even
necessitate a special session of the
Texas Legislature. I think congres-
sional action is the first necessity.
I am hopeful that Congress will
take the necessary action.
“This, along with the Supreme
Court decision in the school segre-
gation case, is further evidence
that the old New Deal, Fair Deal
is still prevalent in court decisions.
"Congress corrected the tide-
lands decision. It can and must
correct this decision.’

The Coast Guard Friday abandon-

fiasco resulting when five amateur
sailors - attempted to drift 2,200
miles to Hawaii.
Officers said it would be a
“waste of money” to continue the

abandoned early Thursday when
its crew was rescued by the
freighter Metapan.
Cold and hungry, the five were
picked up 200 miles south of here

Oil Allowable
AUSTIN. July 16 JP—The allow-
able flow of Texas oil will drop to
its lowest level in more than two
years Aug. 1 when today's railroad
commission proration order takes
effect.
The commission ordered a cut of
121.642 barrels per day below the
allowable of July 10, and this will
mean permissive production of 2,-
721,104 barrels daily.
Excessive national stocks of
crude oil and gasoline, continuing
high imports of foreign oil ana
failure of other oil states to cur-
tail production were pointed to by
the commission as reasons for the
reduction.
Guy Warren of Renwar Oil Co.,
Corpus Christi, said the over-sup-
ply has become so grave he can
find no buyers for oil he is pro-
ducing.
Spokesman for Atlantic Refining
Co., and Sunray, two of the main
purchasers in the area, agreed to
give the commission detailed re-
ports on what can be done to find
a market for some of the oil.

industry's salvation lies in filling

demand.
