Jury Recommends
Employment Of

The Stephens county grand jury
in session Friday made the follow-

recommended employment oi' anoth-
er deputy sheriff. The report fol-
lows:
We, the Grand Jury for the
March-April Term, 1957, of the Dis-
trict Court, Stephens County, Tex-
as, have finished our deliberations
for the first session and have ex-
amined all witnesses called or ap-
pearing before us, and have investi-
gated all matters brought to our at-
tention, and in connection herewith
return into open Court 0 True
Bills of Indictment.
In our deliberations we have care-
fully reviewed the work of our law
enforcement officers and wish to
commend them in their efforts.
We feel tlvit this County is fortu-
nate to have a staff of officers, in-
cluding city, county and state of-
ficers, who work in harmony and
in an efficient manner. In this con-
nection, we respectfully request
that the Commisinoners Court of
Stephens County, Texas, consider
employment of another Deputy
Sheriff to assist in the work. We
are convinced from our review of
the prbotem of law" enforcement
in this community that the volume
of work justifies the employment
of another Deputy Sheriff.
We respectifully request to be

STRIP
Envoy Confers
With Egypt To
Head Off War
By WALTER LOGAN
Israel warned Egypt today that
U. N. acceptance of an Egyptian
governor in the Gaza Strip woula
be regarded by Israel as a breach
of its withdrawal agreement.
Egypt announced Monday it
had named Maj. Gen. Hassan Ab
del Liitit' as administrative gover-
nor of Gaza and ordered him to
take up his duties immediately.
Mosne Leshem, official spokes-
man for the Israeli foreign office,
indicated in Jerusalem the en
trance of Latif would free Israe
of its obligations to pull Israel.

Peace May Be Short
Britain feared the uneasy truce
on the Israeli - Egyptian bordei
might be shortlived in the face
of Egypt's apparent intention tc
take over the Gaza administration.
Britain also feared another hitch
in the free flow of oil and the
possibility of a renewed Egyptian
blockade of the Gulf of Aqaba with
a new threat of war.
For the second day the best
news came from the Suez Canal
zone itself where a U. N. salvage
team today began the three-week
task of raising the sunken tug Ed-

100-mile waterway.
There still was no word from
Egypt on when it would permit
the L. N. team to begin raising
the sunken frigate Abukir, the On-
ly other obstacle blocking passage
through the Suez Canal.
