Friday night.
"We are committed, by a man-
date of our last board if directors'
meeting, to seek for the 14 schools
the appropriation of the unencum-

though it was not a party in the
litigation.

Plight Of Jews
Grows As Arabs
Press Onward ]
(By UNITED PRESS)
The top American diplomat in
Jerusalem has been gravely wound-
ed in the Aarb-Jewish fighting in
the Holy City.
Ironically, United States Con-
sul-General Thomas Wasson had
been attempting to arrange a truce
in the fighting. The state depart-
ment says Wasson was shot either
early Saturday or Friday night
on his way back from a meeting
of the truce commission at the
French consulate.
For several days now, the com-
mission has been trying tu get
Arabs and Jews to agree to a
cease-fire order to preserve the
Holy City from further damage.
The state department says two
other Amiricans also have been
wounded in the fighting in the
ancient city. They are a sailor and
a consulate guard.
The wounded sailor is chief ra-
dioman Herbert Walker—one of a
group of 11 recently assigned to
communication work in Jerusalem

Members of the m reckon ridge
Lions Club Friday noon had as
their program a report from Dr.
K. H. Cartwright on a survey
made • to determine the need ior
glasses in the elementary schools
and debate by the Breckenridge
High School teams.
Dr Cartwright reported that
survey made of the ward rchools
showed that from fifteen to twenty
students per school needed glasses
and that it had been indicated that
38 of these might need financial
help in securing them.
The matter of those who may
need help will beg one into for
the club, as it is the policy of the
Lions Club to sec that every child
actually needing ^financial help
and needing glasses gets both.
High School debaters were heard
on the subject that arbitration
should be compulsory in labor
strikes in all industries .Mitchell
Greer and Bobby Huffman repre-
sented the affirmative and Billy
Waldrop and Mike Earney the neg-
ative. Earney and Huffman rep-
resented the school in debate this
year going to the finals at Austin.
J. W. Culwell extended members
of the club an invitation to attend
the Junior Chamber of Commerce
luncheon Monday when Bill Mur-
ray, railroad commissioner, will be
guest speaker.

PORTLAND May 22 <U.R> —
Governor Dewny still is out front
in the count of votes in thc Oregon
primary.
Considering the size of the vote,
he is not ahead by much, bof the
trend of the returns point to a
possible Dewey victory over Har-
old Stasser. for the Oregon dele-
gates to the GOP convention.
More than one-thousand o f
Oregon's 1866 precincts have been
counted. And Dewey is leading by
•ihont 4.£00 votes.
But it was a close rnoc—so close
neither Dewey or Stnssen will
make any prediction of victory.
The Oregon nrimnrv i* a critical
one for both the contenders. And
its more a test of strength than
a race for delegates. Only 12 del-
egates are at stake—too few to
have much on the nomination
chances of cither man.
