City Restores
Bridge Across
Town Branch
The bridge o.ver Town Branch
creek leading to the city sew-
age treatment plant and the
city dump has been repaired.
The structure was 'washed
out last Thursday following 'one more experiment.
The announcement was made
by the Atomic Energy Com-,
mission and the Defense De-
partment. It told of substan-
tial damage to the launching
pad as a result of a failure in
a rocket launching effort last
week.
The statement said several
weeks will be needed to repair
the launching site and prepare
it for the remaining high-al-
titude tests.
The announcement means
this: the pad is being prepar-
ed for use if and when a pol-
icy decision is made at a high-
er level to go on with at least
heavy rains here
John R. Haire, sewage treat-
ment plant operator, remains
Hk fair condition following a
fall from the damaged bridge
Thursday. Haire, who had re-
turned from putting up a bar-
ricade on Dump Ground Road,
noticed a motorist drive around
the barricade and he was at-
tempting to warn the driver
when he fell into the channel.
He suffered rib and chest in-
juries.
Some officials indicate it
may take eight weeks or long-
er for the repairs to be com-
pleted. The pad was damaged
when a Thor missile was de-
stroyed while still in the
launching position.
Burglars Fail
To Get Cash
Some hard work on the part
of a thief — or thieves — went
practically unrewarded early
Tuesday morning in Sulphur
Springs.
A burglary attempt was re-
ported to city police at the C
and J Cafe on the Interstate
30 service road at 5:46 a.m.,
when the cafe was opened for
business. Cigaret, juke box and
pinball machines were broken
open sometime during the
night, but the money had been
removed from the machines at
the 11:30 p.m. closing Mon-
day.
The only loss reported was

Washington, July 31 I/P) -
President Kennedy told a group
of Brazilian graduate students
today that anyone who desires
war in these days is insane.
Kennedy made this comment
in reply to a student’s state-
ment that while the United
States talks peace, it makes
preparations for war. The stu-
dent said that instead of war
prepartions, the government
should be orienting the consci-
ence of the people for peace.
Kennedy replied that he had
made ifrsvery clear in the past
that there would be no winner
of the next war if nuclear wea-
pons are used.
Furthermore, Kennedy said,
he was not aware of any action
taken by the Unite® States
since World War II that was
not in the direction of security.
He emphasized that the U.
S. long has sought a nuclear
test ban and general disarma-
ment with inspection safe-
guards.
Kennedy addressed the stu-
dents on the White House
south lawn, and submitted to
questioning. „

The birds gather at road-
side parking spots. And when

Foreign Aid
And UN Bonds
Washington, July 31 GW —■
Democratic congressional lead-
ers reported today President
Kennedy is most anxious that
congress approve adequate for-
eign aid appropriations and
provide for United States pur-
chase of United Nations
bonds.
The leaders gave that word
to newsmen after their week-
ly breakfast session with the
President at the White House.
In addition to foreign aid
and the UN bond issue, the
leaders said they also discuss-
ed emergency public works
legislation and the space com-
munications satellite bill.
House Speaker John Mc-
Cormack said Kennedy empha-
sized to the leaders the import-
ance of passing adequate foi-
eign aid appropriations and
expressed intense , interest in
the UN bond issue legislation.

“Texas is 50 years behind

Basically, said Dr. Smith,
“The situation is bad in
East Texas,” he declared. “It

For about 40 years, nema-

plant specialists. It was not
until shortly after World War
II, however, that effective
fumigants were developed to
kill the parasites. Yet, said
Dr. Smith, very little land in

Welcome, for Guard
Planned at Meeting
Progress toward final plan-
ning for welcoming ceremonies
next week when Sulphur
Springs National Guardsmen
return from 10 months active

resentatives of the sponsoring
organizations have agreed that
speech making — except for a
brief welcome by Mayor Carl

The division completed the
move to Fort Polk, La., Oct.
23.
Units will return to their
home stations by Aug. 7, but
will remain in the federal
service until midnight of Aug.
9. At that time the units will
revert to National Guard con-
trol.
Company D, from Sulphur
Spring:: and Winnsboro, has a

Washington, July 31
(AP)— Democrat Wayne
Morse of Oregon has ques-
t i o n e d the accurary of
statements by the Senate
Democratic leadership in
the prolonged debate over the
; administration’s communica-
tions satellite bill. Morse, one
of the' leading opponents of the
measure", challenged the accur-
acy of statements by Majority
Leader Mike Mansfield of Mon-
tana and his assistant, Hubert
Humphrey of Minnesota. After
some heated words, the speech-
making resumed.
Morse had asserted he was
denied the right to state why
he objected to a request by
Mansfield for unanimous con-
sent of the senators on an is-
sue last week.
Mansfield then read from
the minutes, and Morse replied
that he did not believe the ma-
jority leader.
Then the Republican leader,
Everett Dirksen of Illinois,
joined in. He declared that
Morse had put the veracity of
the majority leader at issue.
Dirksen invoked a Senate rule
against reflections on fellow
senators.
Mansfield thanked Dirksen
but added that he didn’t need
protection.
Earlier, Morse disputed an
account Humphrey gave of a
warning last week that some
senators might lose their seata
if the Senate doesn’t get along
with its business, Morse insist-
ed Humphrey had taken the
crack at opponents of the sat-
ellite communications bill and
suggested they would be in
trouble-in the fair elections.
1,100 ARRESTS SINCE DECEMBER
Albany Police Chief Says
Alerts Prove Expensive
Albany, Ga., July 31 W) —
Police Chief Laurie Pritchett
of Albany testified today that
overtime pay for police offi-
cers on 24-hour alert cost the
prohibit a session of county city more than $10,000 during
criminal court before six weeks
of district court begins Aug.
30, County attorney Artie
Stephens said Tuesday.
“The main attorneys who
have clients on bond in coun-
ty court have made it be
known that they will soon be
going on vacations," said Ste-
phens. “For that reason, I
won’t ask the judge (County
Judge W. B. Kitts) , to call any
cases at this time.”
>« M* »dded that IV 'b/>£ ,*»K-
would make it difficult to se-
lect a jury anyway, '
the height of racial troubles
in the past three weeks.
Fitchett testified at a court
hearing that mass marches and
other anti-Segregation activi-
ties by Negroes had been very
expensive.
Pritchett resumed the stand
in the Second day of a court
fight over the city’s attempt
to ban, such activity perma-
nently.
Pritchett said* a total of
r 5,100 bavcjhqea
made since mass protests
broke out last December. He
added:
“This begins the third week
of a 24-hour, alert. It is de-
priving my men of their rights
to be home with their fami-
lies.” * -
Testimony elicited from the
police chief was aimed at pro-
viding the city’s contention
that marches and other mass
activity created the hazard of
mob violence dad deprived a
majority of residents of ade-
quate police protection.
Pritchett told of rocks and
bottles being tossed by Negro
crowds at church rallies and
said his officers had been, spit
on, ebrsed at and abused in
otherwise insulted, to meet
violence with non-violence.”
He said special classes were
conducted for the officers to
condition them for such situ-
ations.
Because of what he called
evident tension, Pritchett tes-
tified that state ftoopers were
summoned to aid his men and
the National Guard was alert-
ed last December.

detectives were permanently
assigned as bodyguards to in-
tegration leader Dr. Martin

Armed police around the
estate told newsmen they were
there at Prado’s request to as-
sure him privacy.
But Mrs. Prado said:
“My husband never asked
for any security measures
whatsoever.”
Asked whether she consid-
ered him still virtually a pris-
oner, she replied:
“Judge for yourselves.”

Washington, July 31 (fl —
Government experts say it may
have taken only 15 birds to
cause the crash of an airliner
that took 62 lives. The birds
—starlings—caused the crash
of the Eastern Air Lines prop-
jet Electra that plunged into
Boston harbor on Oct. 4, I960.
The fact that the birds caused
the crash comes as no surprise.
Officials said that months ago.
But today’s report, by the Civil
Aeronautics Board, is the first
indication that the crash may
have been caused by so few
birds.
The, crash occurred as the
plane was taking off from Bos-
ton on a flight to Atlanta, by
way of Philadelphia; Charlotte,
N. C.; and Greenville, S. C.
Aboard were 67 passengers and
a crew of five. Eight passen-
gers and two crew members
survived.
The CAB says that, as the,
plane taxied to begin its take-
off, its high-pitched engines
freightened a flock of star-
lings. The birds took to the
air directly in front of the
plane. A few were pulled into
three of the plane’s four en-
gines. The CAB report says
this bird ingestion resulted in
loss of airspeed and control
during'takeoff, The two en-
gines on the left side of the
plane lost power completely.
One resumed operating after
by the crew in .an. emergency
move. The engine closest to the
tip of the right wing also buf-
fered momentary power fail-
ure.
Thrown Off Balance
Although two engines return-
ed to something approaching
full power in a matter of sec-
onds — and a third was never
affected — the forward thrust
of the plane was thrown off
balance. The liner veered to the
left and the simultaneous loss
of power cut airspeed to the
stalling point. The craft bank-
ed steeply to the left and
plunged nose first into the
harbor.
How does the CAB know
that the number of starlings
ingested was about 15 or few-
er?
The plane’s four engines
were dismantled and all for-
eign matter was removed. This
effort netted a small amount of
bird feathers and tissue from
three engines—none from the
fourth.
Studies were made by the
Federal Aviation Agency and
the Allison division of General
Motors, builder of the engines.
Starlings were fatally -gassed
and fed through special chutes
into operating engines. The
test showed that if one bird
were caught in an engine, the
results would be negligible. If
two entered, ^he engines in all
cases retained^ least half its
power. Four and six starlings
produced increasingly serious
effects. Eight were likely to
cause complete engine failure.

Sulphur Springs
Citizens Brace
For Heat Wave
The arrival of August
Wednesday will put Sulphur
Springs residents in what has
historically been the hottest
week of the year. -
The chart of 10-year fig-
ures for the city shows all but
one of the first seven days of
August averaging 96 degrees
or hotter. Aug. 7 has averag-
ed out as the hottest day of
the year for the past 10 years,
with a 97.7 mark.
That date (next Tuesday)
has had only two days of 100
degree or higher readings —
several other dates have re-
corded four of the 10 read-
ing in the 100s—but for pure
consistency the 7th has been
the warmest of the year here.
The mercury got a good
start in repeating the aver-
ages Monday and today.
Monday’s high in Sulphur
Springs was 95 (the year’s
top is 97 thus far). At noon
today it was 93.
This morning’s low was an-
other record tying 68.
With clear skies overhead,
it appeared that the rainfall
measurement for the month
has been completed. Tha total
of 5.67 inches marks thfe as
the second wettest July in
records dating back to 1952.
A figure of 7.42 in 1959 is
tops.
The total for the year Is
now 28.64 inches.
Thundershowers fell again
this morning in the Panhandle,
but otherwise skies were clear
as most of Texas braced for
what is forecast to be the hot-
test weather of the year thus
far.
