AUSTIN, Nov. 22, (UP)—The
liiaas are clearly drawn for a
battle on gasoline taxes before
the next session of the Texas
legislature. The County Judge
and County Commissioners' As-
sociation at Laredo has de-
clared that rural roads call for
additional gasoline taxes. But
opposition to this followed
quickly at the closing session of
the Texas Motor Bus Associa-
tion meeting in Austin.
,phe motor carrier industry
pays large amounts of gasoline
tax and former State Senator
Roy Sanderford of Belton says
the carriers are no more obligat-
ed to subsidize farm roads than
any other industry. An attempt
to increase the present state tax
of four cents per gallon was de-
feated at the last session of the
legislature.
State Treasurer Jesse James
checked up to the last penny in
audit of state funds. The State
Auditor's Staff filed a report
which showed the treasurer hud
sonic $1,000,000,000 in his care.
He is direct custodian of more
than $507,000,000 which the state
had on hand when the fiscal
year ended iast August. Besides
this he looks after more than
$125,000,000 in securities owned
by state funds and collateral
securities deposited by bunks
i j which state cash is deposited.
Artificial Control
On Wheat Is Great
Help To Argentina
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22,(UP)
A midwestern farm economist
.9y artificial controls on Cana-
dian and American wheat make
it possible for Argentina to sell
wheat at five dollars a bushel.
Dr. L. J. Norton of the Uni-
versity of Illinois told a Senate
Agriculture Sub-Committee that
American export controls and
Britain's control1 of 160,000,000
bushels of Canadian wheat
have enabled Argentina to jack
up her price much higher than
)e American and Canadian
grain.
The result, according to Nor-
ton, is that when a country
wants wheat it goes to the free
market, Argentina, and a high-
er price.
Wo<?ds Appoints II
Members To Chicago
Rent Area Council
CHICAGO, Nov. 22, (UP> —
Acting Housing Expediter Tighe
Woods has appointed 11 more
members to the Chicago-area
rent advisory board.
Old board of nine members
recently recommended to the
housing expediter that rents in ■
the Chicago metropolitan area, !
covering Cook, Lake, Du Page
and Kane Counties in Illinois,
be permitted to go up 15 per |!
cent. The expediter turned down ij
the recommendation because, |j
he said, the board did not back j|
up its request with facts and fig-
ures. The board since has re--sj
peated its recommendation, send1 it
ing the expediter additional in- j
formation to justify its stand, ji
The housing expediter made !'
the new appointments from a j
list of nominations received j
from Governor Dwight Green of!
Illinois. Woods had asked Green
for more names in order to give
proper representation to Lake,
Du Page and Kane Counties.
Woods appointed three members
for Kane County, two each for
Lake and Du Page and four ad-
ditional members for Cook
County. One of the new ap-
pointees has declined to serve.
The other 10 take their oaths
of office Monday.
Gulf, Mobile & Ohio
Respects Wild Life
JACKSON, Nov. 22, (UP)—
The Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Rail-
road says it yields to nobody in
its admiration for wild life and
the beauties of nature.
But it wants the state of Mis-
sissippi to take those beavers
away.
The beavers in question are
working busily on a dam, like
all good beavers. This particu-
lar dam near the Pearl River is
within sight of the state capitol
dome in Jackson, Mississippi.
Furthermore, when this bea-
ver-style Pearl River Authority
dam is finished, the beavers will
have undermined an important
railroad embankment.
The Mississippi Game Com-
mission has ordered a trapper to
collect the beavers and put them
to work on a project out in the
country.
RELIEF NOT NEEDED
WABASH, Ind. (UP)— Miss
Callie Clow, 88, has been on the
Wabash County welfare rolls
since 1938, but when Sheriff
Sterling Staver on court orders
searched a trunk he found $3,454.
50. Miss Clow had kept the
money in $20 bills, one $100 bill
and a $2.50 gold piece.
Flour Mill Bleach
May Be Abolished
NEW YORK, Nov. 22, (UP)—
The flour milling industry of the
country is taking steps to abol-
ish the use of a bleach that has
been their standard for making
white flour for 25 years.
The reason is that 11 medical
investigators have found that
the bleach, when used in extra
heavy quantities, causes sickness
in animals.
The bleach is called agene. It
was introduced into the indus-
try 25 years ago. Since that time,
about 90 per cent of the flour
milled in the United States and
in England, has been bleached
with it. It is approved by the
pure food and drug administra-
tion.
The medical investigators em-
phasize there is no indication
that the substance causes illness
among humans. And in animals,
sickness was induced only when
extra heavy quantities were
used to bleach the flour fed to
them.
However, because of the med-
ical findings the milling indus-
try has decided to eliminate the
use of agene, and to substitute
three other chemicals as bleach-
ing agents.
The investigators also have
recommended that studies are
made to determine whether
flour bleached with agene can be
traced as a factor in some hu-
man diseases.

Prices Are Cheaper At Anthony's
Government Stops
Purchase Of Spuds
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22,(UP)
The government has stopped
buying potatoes to keep the
prices up.
The Agriculture Department
• explains that the price of
potatoes is now high enough. It
says there's a market for all
spuds at or above the govern-
iment's mandatory support price,
in other words, supply and de-
mand. have reached a balance
where the free price is above
the support price.
The government is required
to support potato prices. During
the last two years, the support
program cost about $100,000,-
•000. Eighty per cent of the pur-
chases were made last year.

The Green Bowl
V Annapolis
ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 22 (UP)
—The navy has banned the so-
called Green Bowl Secret Society
at the Annapolis Naval Acade
my.
The Green Bowl is a 40-year-
old society which a naval offi-
cer labeled as "vicious" before
a congressional committee last
July. He charged the Green
Sowl was devoted to getting
^motions in naval rank for its
members.
The navy started an invesli
gallon of those charges which
lasted for three months. The in
vestigation, the navy says, does
not bear out the charges made
against the organization.
The first newspaper in Okla
homa, the Cherokee Advocate,
began publications at Tahle
fall, Sept. 20, 1811.
