It is a game that has been
looked forward to all season with
the result that excitement today-
had risen to the point that makes
the game second in importance
only to that of winning the state
championship.

prove to fx- fairly dry field.
Report from Abilene this morn-
ing was that it had not rained
there since midnight, and predic-
tion was for skies in that west Tex-
as area to start clearing about noon
The Abilene Eagles will enter the
i fracas seeking a raise in prestige
by beating the team that forced
the Eagle to bow to the tune of
19 to 0—Sweetwater. The Bucka-
roos will enter bent upon not let-
I ting the Eagles do that very thing
and to take the sting out of con-
secutive defeats by Abilene since
1954 when the Buckaroos trounced
the Eagles 35 to 13.
Breckenridge defeated Sweetwat-
er 35 to 20 but comparing these
two scores is likely to mislead
prcgnosticators who base their pre-
dictions on other facts. Coach
; Chuck Moser of Abilene is said to
have been jelling his more or less
new team, compared to the past
lew y««ars. with the result that
the going may be tougher for the
Buckaroos than might be gener-
ally supposed Sports writers are
rather evenly divided ot) predicting
the outcome, few predicting victory
by more than one touchdown mar-

Truman Blasts
Union Shop Ban
< By ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Former President Harry Tru-
man is in Ohio, to holster Demo-
cratic candidates in the state and
to address the International Bro-
therhood of Electrical Workers con-
vention in Cleveland. In his pre-
pared speech for the convention,
he urges defeat of proposals to
ban the union shop which are
coming up in six states, including
Ohio, this year.
Truman says the proposals re-
sult from provisions of the Taft-
Hartley law outlawing the union
shop in states where state law
forbids it. And he accu.ses such in-
terests as the National Association
of Manufacturers of trying to un-
dermine the union shop in state*,
rather than in the nation as a
whole, because Ihey might get less
opposition and less publicity on the
lower level.
Truman also declares that the
Republicans would consider a vic-
tory in November a blank cheek
to pursue what he sees as their
anti-labor course.
The former president will speak
in Akron tonight and at a fund-
raising dinner in Columbus tomor-
row night.

AL'STIN f -- Senator Dorsey

pressed opposition to the proposed
eonstittuiunsh amendment that
would providt- annual salaries to
state legislators.
Calling the amendment danger-
ous and far-rcactiiug. Hardeman
said unlimited personal expense
allowances plus a -too-per cent sal-
ary increase and year-long legis-
lative sessions would prove costly
to the state.
The amendment would substitute
$7,500 annual salaries, plus ex-
l>ciises. for the S25 per diem, lim-
ited lo 120 days every two years.
Hardeman criticized the phias-
ing of the amendment, especially
ihe phrase "expenses ot the of-
lice," which he said is vastly dif-
ferent from the current item of
"oilice expenses." lie also said he
tlid not believe that better salaries
would attract better citizens to
legislative ofices.

Local Bemands
In 126 Plants
Prevent Return
DETROIT '.4* - General Motors
and the 1'mted Auto Workers reach-
ed agreement on a 3-year master
contract last night, but G. M.'s vast
industrial empire remains shut
down bv a strike of its 250,000 CAW
members.
I nion President Walter Reuther
hailed the new national agreement
as good lor the nation, good for
Ihe CAW and good for G. M."
But he cautioned that G. M. work-
ers at I2t> plants across the coun-
try were .authorized to remain on
strike to back up local demands.
A company-wide walkout against
ti. M. preceded the new pact by
12 hours. Belore that, there had
been a rash of wildcat strikes. The
old contract ran out four months
ago and tensions had mounted in
recent weeks under no-contract op-
erations.
Both Reuther and G. M. vice
president l.ouis Seaton expressed
hope in Detroit local grievances
would be settled quickly so G. M.
could get into full production of
i:*5i cars and trucks.
General Motors said at 10 a. m.
EDT that not a single plant had
re-opened in the wake ot yester-
day's contract-backing walkout.
But at many points, local ui:ion
and company managers sat down
to iron out their differences C \W
locals insist they will stay out until
there is a meeting of minds.
United Auto Workers President
Walter Reuther set two main goals
for 1958 bargaining with the big
three auto-makers. He didn't get
either one.
Reuther began beating the drrms
last year for a shorter work week
labeling this as the L'AW's nuinner
one goal.
Then the Cnion chief switched
and made prolit sharing his pr me
target. But this got sidetracked. :oo.

started more than six months ; go.
