S. Developing Several Plans In Contingencies By LEWIS GCLICK WASHINGTON, Sept.

10 Maxwell D. Taylor has told Johnson administration leaders that anti-Communist military forces in South Viet Nam are growing in strength and efficiency at a faster rate than the Red Viet Cong guerrillas, it was reported today. Can Negotiate Taylor, however, has also -told conferees here that he does not think the U.S.-supported Vietnamese are going to achieve victory over the Red guerrillas by military means in the foreseeable future. Officials said, therefore, that Taylor would not rule out negotiations aimed at ending the fighting in the South. He is as believing a situation may be brought about apparently by increasing anti-Communist military pressures in which Communist North Viet Nam will decide it has to negotiate a peace settlement in order to save itself.

10 UP) U. S. Air Force Delta Dagger jets cruised near bodia's frontier today on aerial duty that could represent a new phase in South Viet Nam's American backed war against the Communist Viet Cong. Watching for any Cambodian Intervention, four of the needle- nosed supersonic F102 fighters flew top cover for Vietnamese armed forces striking against Red guerillas three miles from the frontier in the Tay Ninh sector northwest of Saigon. A U.

S. military source said If Cambodian fighters had attacked the Vietnamese forces as two of Cambodia's Russian built MIG17s did in a 12-mile shooting foray into Vietnamese air space Saturday the F102s undoubtedly would have been ordered to destroy them. But none of Cambodia's planes showed up. And there was no repitition from border posts in that avowedly neutral neighbor of military action in support of the Viet Cong.

10 A $750 million authorization by Congress for a Trinity River canal from the Gulf to Fort iVorth may come sooner than you think, says Rep. Jim Wright, D-Tex. The congressman from Fort Worth predicted Wednesday that the House Public Works Committee will make a favorable recommendation on the long proposed program by the first of the year. He said such a recommendation would be effective in "paving the way for final authorization of funds during 1965." U. S.

Accidents Kill Over 50,000 In Six Months CHICAGO, Sept. 10 UP) Accidents killed 50,700 Americans the first half of this year, National Safety Council said Such deaths showed a gain of 6 per cent over the toll of 47,700 in the first six months of 1963. Only deaths In home accidents decreased. They declined 3 per cent, from 15,100 to 14,700. Fatalities in other classifications: Traffic, as reported earlier; 21,280, up 12 per cent.

Public places, excluding motor vehicle deaths: 9,150, up 12 per cent. Work: 7,200, up 4 per cent. The council said the figures are approximations based on reports from the states. Some motor vehicle deaths also were included in the work and home totals, so the over all death total is less than the sum of the four categories. NJC Registering Its Sophomores Registration for sophomore students at Navarro Junior College began at 8 a.m.

Thursday morning. The registration will continue through Friday afternoon. Vice-president and Dean, Gaston T. Gooch, reported Thursday morning that registration was moving along very well and that 100 students had completed their registration by 9 In the freshman orientation period Wednesday, there were 509 students present, more than a 30 per cent increase over last year's figure. Wright, Rep.

Ray Roberts of McKinney and Rep. Ed Edmondson of Muskogee, completed a two-day tour by lelicopter of the Trinity River basin. All three spoke in favor of the Trinity project at a lunch, eon here. Wednesday night they attended a dinner in Fort Worth. Both events drew representatives of about 20 munici- lalities in the Dallas-Fort Worth complex.

"Much of the future of the entire North Texas area is based on development of the Trinity," Wright told the group. "This project is not a federal expense, but an investment. The U.S. Corps of Engineers has estimated that the canal will return $1.60 for every dollar invested. Wright said industry has pounded $122 million into the Trinity valley, compared to $65 million allocated through the years by the government.

Official Says Texas Oilmen Are In Trouble TYLER, Sept. 10 UP) Texas' oil men are in deep irouble, the executive vice pres- dent of the Texas Independent Producers and Royalty Owners Association TIPRO asserted today. "The average or typical independent is being rapidly squeezed into virtual inactivity not altogether out of this business," said Earl Turner of TIPRO.

There is a grave monopoly in the oil business which cannot, in the long run, benefit any segment of this industry, any producer state, any consumer, or the security of our nation," Turner told the Rotary ilub. Discussing "causes of deterioration and solutions needed," Turner said TIPRO will decide at Its annual meeting in Fort Worth Sunday what measures should be taken to aid the independent. Turner named partially-subsidized foreign oil as the foremost source of the independent's problems. Foreign oil, he said, "has been allowed to gob- See OIL, Page 7 Death NFO Members Results In Truce BONDUEL, Sept. 10 UP) The deaths of two National Farmers Organization (NFO) members under the wheels of a heavy truck and the cries of other demonstrators that the driver be lynched brought a call for a truce the Wisconsin part of a campaign to withhold livestock from market.

A Lafayette County livestock trucker told authorities in Janesvllle that he was followed by two cars across one county on the way to market in Milwaukee late last night and then was fired on five times from the shoulder of a road two miles west of Orfordville, in south- central Wisconsin. The Rock County sheriff's office said two rifle bullets penetrated the truck and a pig was hit. The driver, who was not identified, was escorted by police to Milwaukee. Early today several shots were fired from a passing car in the vicinity of a home of another livestock trucker in Rubicon Township, in east central Wisconsin. The Dodge County sheriff's office said the bullets apparently did not strike anything In his statement announcing the conference, Reynolds referred to the deaths Wednesday as "thp senseless shedding See NFO, Page 6 Judge Orders Pockets Away From Schools EAST ST.

See JOHNSON, Page 6 Ford Next Target By A. F. MAHAN DETROIT, Sept. 10 Auto Workers President Walter P. Reuther, with a Chrysler agreement which he estimated to be worth 54 cents an hour over the next three years, will begin a drive at Ford Motor Co.

Friday for the equivalent or better. From Ford, Reuther said he would proceed to General Motors Corp. And the union Is expected to demand the same a. possible pension in 1965 of up to $400 a month at age American Motors scores of supplier plants and the agricultural implement industry. The big three of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler employ more than half a million UAW- represented workers between them alone.

Their contracts often set national patterns. Most significant gains at Chrysler were in areas of earlier retirement and pensions. Workers would get a bonus for quitting at 60 instead of 65. In those five years, effective next September, a worker would be guaranteed 70 per cent of his straight-time pay up to a maximum of $400 a month. After 65 he would get $4.25 a month (instead of a current $2.80) for each year of service, plus his government social security.

This would mean a pension cut for a worker earning the industry average of $3.01 hourly if he had quit at 60. The union, at the same time, managed to hold on to annual wage boosters and a cost-of living escalator and to gain company payment of full hospital- medical insurance premiums for retirees, as well as workers. The new Chrysler contract, yet to be signed but agreed upon in principle, was described by Reuther as "the most historic agreement in the American labor movement." And it is one destined to "raise tremendously" the government's social security benefits scale, Reuther said, 'as the Ford pension agreement (first in the Industry) unlocked them in 19-19." At the same time, the UAW chief described the Chrysler agreement as non-inflationary, declared it would require no price increase, and added, that as a matter of fact. company could cut car i "and still make a profit n. mori satisfactory than for the average American industry." John D.

Johnson naid in Washington he gratified by statements from company and union officials "that this settlement takes ful account of both public and private Interests, that it will mean more jobs and that it will be non-inflationary."

Brunswick, a resort city about 100 miles north of St. Augustine, suffered its worst pounding in 20 years from a tide and gusts that shattered windows, ripped roofs and toppled trees at 85 miles an hour.
