'Safety Band'To
%e Drawn Around
Western World
Harmony Achieved by
Delegates Attending
Panama City Meeting
* PANAMA CITY — (UP) —
The 21 American republics decid-
ed definitely today on a method
to keep the western hemisphere,
except Canada, neutral in Eu-
rope's war.
Committees of the neutrality
conference prepared final pro-
posals. These included "the
safety belt" plan intended to
keep belligerent warships out of
\merican waters.
The neutrality projects will
be submitted to the conferences'
final session tomorrow.
Harmony was achieved after
long conferences today.
The Argentine and Chilean
delegations, which had been de-
laying agreement on the neu-
trality and "safety band" propo-
sals, were understood to have
^received instructions to "go
%long" on these projects, clear-
ing the way for final agreement
and adjournment.
Some details remain to be
smoothed out, but the delegates
anticipate no trouble. It was
understood that the Chilean dele-
gation will seek to have the
"safety band" fixed at 50 miles
from American shores, but most
of the delegates believe that
^Jhile is likely to yield to the
majority opinion and fix the
limit at 300 mil§s.
.May ltan Submarines
A proposal to close American
ports to submarines is being
redrafted and the final text
will not be available before noon
but it is anticipated that it will
leave the way open for indi-
vidual governments to adopt
their own policy towards sub-
marines. The resolution is ex-
pected to provide that any Am-
erican republic may close its
ports to submarines, with the
probability that all will do so
except Argentina and possibly
Uruguay.
Sumner Welles, head of the
United States delegation, com-
menting on the sessions, said
that remarkable harmony en-
abled surprising headway to be
•nade toward agreement.
The completed drafts of neu-
tral and "safety band" proposals
were expected to be submitted
l .y the respective subcommittees
Monday. A full executive plen-
ary session is expected to be
held on Tuesday morning for
approval of all projects, with a
public plenary session and clos-
ing speeches scheduled for
Tuesday afternoon.
*lay Meet In 1!)40
It was believed likely that
the conference would approve
another meeting in October.
1940, in Havana.
In the opinion of most dele-
gates, the decisions reached at
this consultation of the Ameri-
can nations are more important
and far-reaching than at any
previous meeting in the history
l|f Pan-America. They stressed
that the decisions on neutrality
and the ''safety band" affect
world history. For the first
time, definite common policies
have been set up for the whole
of the Americas, regarding obli-
gations toward non-American
belligerents.
The new "safety band" may
be considered either a signifi-
cant extension of the scope of
#ie Monroe Doctrine, or a com-
plete new doctrine coming from
all the American nations and re
placing the original
Doctrine.

ARMISTICE LINE
NOV. II, 1918
The current western front is not much farther east than the battle line at the close of hos-
tilities in November, 1918. Names of cities to left of World'War armistice line on the above
map were common to ail V. S. citizens during days of 1917-18. American soldiers saw service
in much of the area shown and those in the ar my of occupation after the war advanced far
beyond the presen t line of hostilities.
Texan Derailed
Near Atlanta
ATLANTA, Tex. — (UP) —
The locomotive and nine cars of
the Texan, crack Texas and Pa-
cific passenger train, were de-
railed nine miles south of At-
lanta Sunday.
J. B. Spivey, Atlanta constable,
said only a few passengers suf-
fered minor hurts. No one was
killed.
The locomotive, one mail car,
two chair cars, and three Pull-
mans turned over on their sides.
The Texan is made up at St.
Louis, Mo., and Memphis, Tenn.,
with the trains combining at
Little Rock, Ark. It is a through
passenger to Dallas and
Worth.
Texas and Pacific officials
said no statement would be is
sued until an Investigation was
completed. The track was clear-
ed and traffic resumed at noon,
about eight hours after the Tex-
an was derailed.
The accident was the second
railroad mishap in Texas within
a week. A football special derail-
ed and overturned at Millsap,
Tex., 200 miles west of Atlan-
ta, last week killing two train-
men.

*Mrs. Susie Sherrell, house-

reports that six indigent homes
have been serviced since the in-
itiation of the project here less
than a month ago. Most of this
service, according to Mrs. Sher-
rell, was rendered to families
burdened by sickness. These
families include 24 people.
Eleven women, who receive
foe same salaries as those paid
WPA sewing room workers,
have been trained for service
in the homes of families on re-
lief, by Mrs .Sherrell under the
city-county sponsored project.
In the project house across
from South Ward school, the
eleven teachers have been train-

Children of the homes servic-
ed so far have been equipped
for the winter with adequate
and warm clothing and with

ing the school year.
TWO KILLED IN
SANTA FE WRECK
JOLIET, 111. — (UP)—Two
crew members of the Santa Fe
railroad's westbound "California
Fast Freight" were killed Sun-
day when the locomotive and 1-1
cars were derailed on the main
line two miles south of here.
Fireman E. M. Carroll, 50,
Chicago, and Brakeman C. K.
Walberg 30, Galesburg, 111., were
buried beneath coal in the lo-
comotive cab.
Engineer George Breault, 45,
Downers Grove, 111., suffered se-
rious burns and other injuries
and was hospitalized.
Investigators were unable to
determine immediately the cause
of the accident. One report, how-
ever, was that the derailment oc-
curred when the engineer was
forced to apply the brakes sud-
denly to avoid striking a per-
son on the track.
The locomotive overturned
Monroel and the 14 cars immediately be-
i hind it piled up on it. The 66-
_ I car freight was hauling general

Cop Opposes Sin
On Job, In Pulpit
DALLAS, Tex. — (UP) — E.
V. Bunch is hard-boiled. He has
to be. For the last four years
ho lias been a city jailer—match-
ing his wits and his fists with
murderers, drunks, holdup men
and any other kind of riffraff
that finds its way behind the
bars.
But one thing, distinguishes
Bunch from his police depart-
ment companions who battle sin
all week. He also denounces it
from the pulpit on Sunday.
Bunch is the only minister on
the Dallas police force. He is
not ordained and does not plan
to be, but he has occupied pul-
pits in Wichita Falls and Celeste
and his own church, the Mc-
Kinney Ave. Methodist church
when the regular pastor was
away.
"Some of my fellow church
workers have suggested that I
try to get a license to preach,"
Buhch said, "but I have never
thought cf being ordained. I'm a
policeman."
BY ROY J. FORREST
UP Correspondent
HUMBLE, Tex. — (UP) —
Humble',s political patriarch has
announced he would be a can-
didate for justice of the peace
in 1942.
There wasn't any doubt about
1940. Everybody had taken it
for granted that old Frost K.
Wise would seek reelection to
the J. P. office he has held for
31 years.
"A man is never too old to be
justice of the peace," the 82-
year-old, tobacco - chewing, milk-
drinking politician said, "prov-
idin' he ain't too fat."
.Justice Wise is the oldest liar
ris county official or employe
Fort' and has held his job since 1908
| —longer than any other public
servant.
Folks were a bit afraid he
would get tired and might be
planning to retire. Justice Wise,
sensing the under-current, hung
his umbrella on a tree branch at
the city hall the other day, took
his favorite chair on the lawn
and announced his intentions to
Mayor Jess Hester, City Secre-
tary C. D. McDonald and volun-
teer firemen.
'Garner Too Old'
"Now you take John Garner,"
said Judge Wise. "He'll never
be president. Course I'd vote for
him anyway, but he's too old. But
for a justice of the peace a man
ain't ever too old."
The old justice recalled that
a fat man who was so big he
had to be lifted into an auto-
mobile once contested his re-
election.
"Supposing he'd had to go
into the woods for an inquest,"
interjected Mayor Hester. "He'd
never made it".
"That's right," said the jus-
tice. "I can get around."
He has a wonder dog named
Bearhide, he says. When Bear-
hide barks, "the trees shiver
and the acorns fall to the
ground." In a fox hunting con-
test, the other dogs might as
well go home. Bearhide's "hot."
He won the state fox hunting
championship last year.
Justice Wise came to Humble
in .1903 from Austin county, and
went through Humble's old
booms of 1905, 1910, and 1915
without even a mild interest in
buying oil leases.
Business Roomed
In boom days, Humble was 10
times its present size with a sur-
rounding population of 40.000
oil men, roustabouts and hang-
erson.
The town, once had 86 saloons
going at the same time. There
were many inquests and funer-
als in those days. Mules drown-
ed in mud holes on Humble's
Main street.
But Humble is peaceful, small
and a garden spot now.
And folks want to see the
peaceful old justice stay on the
job for a long time to come.

Building Gains
In September
Building activity here during
the nast month showed an in-
crease of about SI.500 over both
the previous month and over
September of last year. Building
permits for 815,730 were issued
during the month in the city
comptroller's office, as compar-
ed with $14,195 for September,
1938.
Only one permit, to Higgin-
botham-Bartlett Lumber comp-
any for $2,800 worth of construc-
tion on a storage building, was
issued during the last week of
September.
Japs Expected to
Take Changsha
SHANGHAI —(UP) — Jap-
anese military dispatches report-
ed today that the capture of
Changsha, capital of Hunan pro-
vince, was expected momentar-
ily and that Chinese attacks
against Japanese garrisons ad-
jacent to Britain's South China
colony in Hong Kong were "be-
ing repulsed."
Japanese scout planes which
flew over Changsha yesterday
reported that the strategic city
on the Hanicow-Canton railway
had been abandoned by the Chin-
ese under Gen. Pai Chung-Hsi
who had established his head-
quarters at Hengyang, to the
southward, where he was pre-
paring a new stand.
Chinese Attacks Belittled
The Japanese belittled Chin-
ese attacks in Kwantung pro-
vince, chiefly in the areas next
to the British Kowloon leased
territory which forms a part of
the Hong Kong colony, but Har-
old Guard, United Press corres-
pondent in Hong Kong, report-
ed these attacks were continuing
at 8 p. m. Sunday.
The attacks started at 11 p.
m., Saturday, Guard reported,
and were carried out by regu-
lars of the Chinese fourth route
army who apparently hoped to
pin the Japanese against the
British border.
About 5,000 Japanese troops in
scattered garrisons, supported by
large numbers of planes and
heavy artillery, were on the de-
fensive.
Chinese reaching the British
border said their forces had oc-
cupied Shataukok village and
that a Chinese column of 5,000
men was besieging Shumchun
which was defended by about
1500 Japanese. Another Chinese
column of 3,000 was attacking
Namtau. The Chinese were at-
tacking c^n a line about 30 miles
long.
General Campaign Begun
Observers here believed the
Chinese attacks in Kwangtung
were designed to relieve Japan-
ese pressure on Changsha and
forestall a northward drive by
Japanese forces based on Can-
ton along the southern reaches
of the Hankow-Canton railway.
The Changsha drive is part of
a general campaign to clear the
Hankow-Canton line and experts
always have believed the Jap-
anese would start from both ends
—striking northward from Can-
ton as soon as the Chinese were
forced to retreat into the so-call-
ed Hengyang defense triangle
which is considered a key to
the whole Chinese southwest de-
fense area centering around
Kunming, capital of Yunnan pro-
vince.
The Japanese reported heavy
Chinese troop movements be-
tween Kukong, Kwantung pro-
vince, and Hengyang. They
thought the Chinese were es-
tablishing a secondary defense
area around Yuanling, in west
Hunan province.
Allies Occupation
Of Saar Valley
Blamed for War
AUSTIN — (UP) — Dr. De-
Witt P. Reddick, associate pro-
fessor of journalism at the Uni-
versity ( f Texas, said after a
two-year study of newspaper
treatment of the World War
of 1914-18 that occupation of th>-'
Saar valley by French troops
made the German people recep-
tive to Adolf Hitler's rise to
powe.'.
if the Allies had not placed an
army of occupation in the con-
quered territory after the first
V\ orld War, Reddick believes,
Hitler could not have gained his
hold on the people.
Reddick made his study while
preparing his doctor's thesis at
the University of Missouri. Pap-
ers in the United States were
remarkably accurate, he said,
but he warned editors to label
carefully each story from com-
batant nations in the present
war.
Careful labeling as to source,
and discrimination by Ameri-
can newspaper readers, will en-
able the people to obtain an ac-
curate picture of the war, he
said.
War! For the Non-Combatant
Phonograph
Records Staging
Comeback
NEW YORK — (NEA) — The
music that goes 'round and
around on phonograph records
spins 700 per cent more often
than in 1933, when the demand
for wax discs struck bottom.
The "gramaphone" has come
back into its own. The Enrico
Caruso era for the disc-makers
has been revived, and the age
of jitterbugs also has hypoed the
dormant industry.
You can get some notion of
the record renaissance by the
number of nickel-in-the slot
phonograph machines now in-
stalled in the diners, beaneries,
hotels and barberships all over
the United States. A conserva-
tive guess puts them at not
much less than a half million!
It takes a deal of wax to feed
so many public music boxes.
Helps Band Leaders
Many an idolized bandleader
of this band-mad moment has
received his first jolt into the
limelight via a "hot plate," as
the trade calls a fast-selling disc.
Hal Kemp recorded "Got a
Date With an Angel" three years
ago and his climb to eminence
was rapid. In 1936, an inconspi-
cuous lad named Benny Good-
man recorded a piece labelled
"Stompin' at the Savoy" and
Tommy Dorsey made one call-
ed "Song of India." Both have
been running neck-and-neck for
fame since then. A year ago. Ar-
tie Shaw's "Begin the Beguin"
sold enough records to make a
success of him and currently a
bespectacled musician named
Glenn Miller is the "hot plate"
king."
Beer Barrel Polka
The same impetus that the
discs can give to a bandleader
goes for a song as well. That
current mania, "Beer Barrel
Polka" is a hit-tune sculptured
in wax. Composed by a wholly
unknown Czech tunesmith by
the name of Jaromir Vejvoda,
it originally was Recorded in
Prague by an undistinguished
brass band led by a fellow nam-
ed Will Glahe. The record was
brought here as a matter of
routine, copies made and sent
out to the drop-a nickel phono-
graph operators.
In Chicago and Detroit, the
song caught on with unprece-
dented speed. The word was
passed around to other cities
and there were similar repercus-
sions. "Beer Barrel Polka" has
outsold any other record this
year, has become i hit tune on
the air lanes and has earned
a considerable fortune.
War terror and tragedy comes to the western front. Fleeing battle's advance, French peasants
close behind the maginot line hitch the family cows to a wagon, bundle up the children,
leave home in search for a safe spot. Picture was passed by censor, flown to the United States
by Clipper plane.

Oil royalty and lease pay-

totalled over $150,000 cash. This
is $5,000 more than the entire

Watson pointed out, that the
more than $150,000 in lease and
royalty money does not increase
either state or federal taxes.
