GARDNER Only two days remain in the campaign for money with which to carry on the work of the agencies participating in the United Fund Drive of Caddo and Bossier Parishes. During these two days we must intensify our efforts if this is to be completed on time. The campaign must neither fall short nor continue into the holidays as it surely will if the goal is not reached Tuesday. Therefore, we must intensify our efforts to make certain enough funds will be collected to carry on the vital services of the 24 agencies of the Caddo-Bossier Community Chest, the Caddo and Bossier Chapters of the American Red Cross and the Caddo Foundation for Exceptional Children.

A large part of this responsibility falls on the shoulders of the hundreds of volunteer workers who have been busy the past several weeks making the personal calls necessary for a successful campaign. It is essential that ALL of their calls be completed within the next two days if we are to reach our goal. This will call for concentrated effort on the part of the volunteers. Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Houston and others of our sister cities already have made their United Fund goals. As a matter of civic pride, we in the metropolitan Shreveport area must match their splendid efforts.

But much more than civic pride is at stake. We have the responsibility of taking care of our own. There will always be the abandoned child, the victim of disaster, the physically handicapped; there will always be the need to train our youth and guide it into the paths of good citizenship. We know THE JOB HAS TO BE DONE. WE KNOW WE CAN DO IT.

Given very little chance even to make it interesting for the big red team from Fayetteville, GayneU Tinsley's lads mangled form by rarrvin? the battle to Arkansas from the middle of the second quarter on, and winning by the margin of Al Doggett's toe. Slammed back on their heels throughout the first period, the Ti gers finally permuted tne rorKers to punch over a score early in the second stanza when second-string tailback Buddy Benson fired a 13-yard payoff pitch to end Billy Lyons. But Benson missed his placement and that, in the last analysis, was what tore it The fired-up Bengals slammed right back from the succeeding kickoff, stalled deep in Arkansas rnuntrv and came back again in the dying seconds of the first half. Doggett passes helped the drive as far as the Razorback two, from which point the ailing Chuck Johns threw away his crutches and rocketed into the end zone standing up. Then, with an extra load of pressure on his shoulders, Doggett placekicked the oval right where it needed to be for the point that did the job.

Arkansas was never able to regain their initiative against an LSU defense that played better than it knew how. Although Benson came back to spark a couple of abortive threats with his slippery running, the Pigs never got inside the Tiger 40 after their lone touchdown. In fact, the Bengals came dangerously close to adding to their margin when fullback O. K. Ferguson slam-banged them down to the Porker eight in the third quarter.

But the ball went over on downs at that point and there were no more goal line stands needed. To add a final comic-opera touch to the day's doings, the Razor-backs won the Southwest Conference championship and an automatic bid to the Cotton Bowl at the very time they were being embarrassed by one of the Southeastern Conference's second division outfits. Baylor's victory over contending SMU clinched the crown for Arkansas. It is not unfair to say that the Porkers looked something short of champions on this particular afternoon. Their passing game refused to jell except for Benson's one payoff shot, their running was far from unstoppable down close to the double stripe.

The sturdy defenses that had blanked mighty Mississippi were no special mystery to Bengal of-" fenders. Proof of that fact lies in the team statistics, which show that Ole Lou more than doubled Arkansas along the ground, compared very favor ably in the air and wound up with a total offensive advantage of 267 yards to 161. WTiat probably tickled Coach Tinsley most of all was the fact that two Arkansas passes were intercepted by his charges. Both were at the expense of the Pigs' respected tailback, George Walker, who had a sub-par day in every respect Offensively, Ferguson was the afternoon's big surprise.

Arrested, Says Grevemberg By AL HEWITT City Editor of The Times Striking under the cloak of Shreveport football festivities, raiding state troopers under the personal direction of Col. Francis C. Grevemberg yesterday cracked down on bootleg operations in five cities and towns in three North Louisiana parishes. Forty-five plain-clothes troopers raided 12 establishments-all but two of them in dry 4 wards in Shreveport, Minden. Homer.

More than 2,000 cases of whisky valued at more than $100,000 were confiscated by the troopers and the federal agents that followed swift on the heels of the state officers. Twenty-six persons were arrested and booked on "bootlegging" charges, including Leroy Ware, 45, of Haynesville, who was termed the "kingpin" in the operation. One of those arrested is the mayor of Minden. where he operates a drug store in the dry town.

CoL Grevemberg described yesterday's operation as the largest single raid ever conducted from one headquarters by the state police. As redesignated, the raiders all struck at 3 p.m. midway during the LSU-Arkansas football game in Shreveport. In many instances, the operators of the raided firms were listening See Photo on Page 10A and 11A to the football game broadcast when the troopers flashed their badges. All of the 12 establishments had already been "cased" in a 10-day undercover investigation by two trooper detectives from the Baton Rouge headquarters.

In some cases the raiding officers, many of them dressed in sports attire, made purchases of whiskey yesterday in the guise of itinerant customers. At others, undercover agents had gathered sufficient evidence for the raiders to make the arrest and conduct their search. Ware, who Is on five-years" pro bation for a federal liquor law violation, was "tied into five of the establishments raided," CoL Grevemberg said last night at the Troop headquarters in Bossier City, where he had set up a command post. The state trooper colonel said he believed further investigation would show that Ware, who under law cannot own or operate a liquor-selling establishment, was owner or controlled at least five of the places raided yesterday. These included, Grevemberg said: Ware's Cutrate Liquor Store, 1622 Marshall St, Shreveport, where two men.

Clifford D. Holt, 36. and Leonard James, 40. were charged for selling whisky without proper license. Ctl Fw Xm-A) Report Uranium Strike in Texas HOUSTON.

Both wet and dry states as well as distilling companies have been complaining for several years that the high tax rate on hard liquor was resulting in more bootlegging and lower revenue receipts. Ideal November Day Is Forecast Bright blue skies and balmy temperatures are expected to result in another near-perfect November day today. Meteorologists at the local station of the U.S. Weather Bureau said light to gentle varia- ble winds can be anticipated today, but the weather should be fine for late fall picnics and long drives in the coloring 1 countryside.

Low temperatures were expected to be somewhere near 40 degrees during the night and early morning, but the mercury probably will climb to a high of 70 before the day ends. Yesterday's low, recorded early in the morning, was 41 -degrees, a bit nippier than normal for the date, the weather experts said. However, the high of 69 degrees, recorded in mid- afternoon, was somewhat warmer than is considered typical for late November. 1 ft hi said today President Eisenhower will ask the new Congress in January to block scheduled reductions in taxes on cigarettes, alcoholic beverages, cars, gasoline and corporation U.S., France Reject New Soviet Move Reds Seek to Stall German Arms Flan WASHINGTON.

Congressional tax-writins sources say the President probably will get most of what he wants after noisy fight .7..:. The taxes were boosted during the Korean War and were first scheduled to go down automatically last April 1. The 83rd Congress extended them for one year. Concerning another extension. the Treasury Department policy maker, who requested that his name not be used, said: "The fiscal situation leaves us no alternative but to ask for it." He was talking about the fact that the government now expects to take in about four billion, 700 million dollars less than it spends during the 12-month period that ends next June SO.

The official estimated that failure to extend the excise taxes would cost the government another one billion dollars in income. He said the drop in the corporation income tax rate would mean a fall-off in revenue of about one billion, 700 million dollars on the basis of the current business profit level. The corporation rate is to go down from 52 per cent to 47 per cent. The excise tax on liquor would drop from $10.50 to nine dollars a gallon while the tax on cigarettes would be reduced two cents a pack. Beer and wine taxes also would fall.

The gasoline tax would decrease two cents a gallon while the excise on automobiles would fall from 10 to seven per cent of the sales price Members of the House Ways and Means Committee, which initiates all tax legislation, said they think the Democratic-controlled Congress will extend the corporation tax rate without much of a fight New Housing Project Here Will Be Built 96 Brick Veneer Homes Planned A new $1,000,000 residential project.
