The occasion was the fifth Legislators' Day, sponsored by the Shreveport Chamber of Commerce and the Fair. Some 40 lawmakers were here to take advantage of the day displays and the beautiful weather.

It spread misery among an estimated 11,000 made homeless by high water. Gov Price Daniel of Texas alerted his staff to stand by for possible major flood rescue action. The river continued to spread farther over rich farm land and sent its muddy waters racing through houses in border towns on both the Mexican and United States sides.

Trucks evacuated still more persons today on both banks. The river was miles wide at many points as it spilled into its floodway system and spread over thousands of acres. Families in Mexico were hit hardest by the river and heavy rains. -Z 7i Mm Greenies Top Navy; LSU Wins It 8 R. BET- Wvvy i I air at the Fair Grounds.

(Times Photo by Lloyd HANG ON! The Fair's in town again, the 1958 edition of the annual Louisiana exposition extravaganza. Opening day yesterday, without even a hint of a raincloud, attracted thousands to the midway and Legislators' Day activities. Two of the countless visitors who braved the pitch- 90 and Tolar 80 and were the game's top rushers.

The best the Bulldogs could do was 227 passing and running with Paul Hynes grabbing 59 and J. W. Slack getting 44. Northwestern cornered the market on game honors voted on by the press, radio, and TV as Conrad, from Penns Grove, N.J., was named the most outstanding back and Booth the outstanding lineman. This was Booth's second such award in as many years.

The scoring honors were pretty well split up with Tolar, halfback Don Deen and Booth each scoring once for NSC and fullback Max Rudd and Hynes getting Tech's two. Although the sparkling play of NSC's offense was terrific, credit must also go to the Demon defense and to the apparently excellent job done by coach Jack Clayton and staff in getting the Demons in such a fighting frame of mind. No rocks should be thrown in Tech's direction, however, but the Demons simply over shadowed them at every turn. Little else can be said except for the record crowd and unofficial (Continafd an Paia On-D) 1 ing whirling, Nancy Ayers what's in Burnett, the of Marshall, Stilley) 22M00 WATCH NSC Demons Upset La.

18 (UPD Ouachita Baptist College announced today that it will open school Monday in three of Little Rock's largest churches for white high school students. The Little Rock Private School Corp. also will open school Monday in the former University of Ark ansas graduate school for white seniors only, with donated funds. Ouachita College classes will be for all three high school grades -10th, 11th and 12th. The Private School Corp.

does not know when it can provide 10th and 11th grade classes. The Baptist Churches all have educational buildings and it was understood that the other eight Baptist churches in Little Rock have offered their educational buildings. More than 3,000 high school students in Little Rock, including about 700 Negroes, haven't attended school this year because of the integration crisis. School was supposed to open for them Sept. 2.

"If we can do it, we will take care of every kid in the Little Rock School District," Dr. Ralph Phelps, president of Ouachita Baptist College said. "We are school people and we ought to know something about running a school." He said the limiting factor will be teachers and a call will be put out tomorrow in all the 75 Baptist churches in Pulaski Countv fnr teachers. He set a tentative tuition srlied. ule as follows: $20 for the first child in a familv: sis fnr th second, $10 for the third, and $5 each for any additional children.

Dr. Phelps said he hopes that contributions will permit the tuition to be lowered later. The Ban. tist schools, he said, will try to have basketball teams, "although it is a little late for football." SITES ARRANGED The classes will start in the First Baptist Church, Second Baptist uiurcn and Gaines Baptist Church. The board of trustees of Ouachita Baptist Church said it will admit only whites "because the only basis on which a school can be set up now in Little Rock is on the oasis ot racial segregation." The classes will be non-denom inational at the start, but if it turns out that teachers and facili ties are limited, a preference will; be given to children whose parents are Baptists.

"Our interest is solelv in th education of our boys and girls who have become victims of a struggle beyond their control." tha trustees said.

Jut aay: "CHARGE IT;" By BILL BAKER Times Sports Writer Northwestern State's vastly underrated Demons made a shambles of Louisiana Tech's supposedly immovable defense in State Fair Stadium last night to hand the Bulldogs an 18-14 defeat in the 19th edition of their Louisiana State through the State Exhibit Building, a stop on the program for the (See Photos on Page 6B) first time; the sheep, cattle and swine barns, the chicken exhibi tions and other attractions. As usual, the animal barn proved to be a point of high inter est for the legislators, many of whom came from New Orleans. In tfie animal barns legislators looked especially for entries from their parishes. Many expressed amazement at the displays in the State Exhibit Building, commenting favorably on the animals, rugs and many other items. "Why, we had no idea Shreveport had anything like this at the State Fair," one commented.

Following the morning at the Fair, the legislators went to the Shreveport Country Club where they were greeted by some of the city's civic and business leaders and Chamber of Commerce officials. N. C. McGowen and V. V.

Whit-tington, two men who have for years given their efforts to promoting the Fair, yesterday gave official greetings to the legislators and their families at the Country Club luncheon. Following this, the lawmakers returned to the Fair or to their hotel rooms, and last night were guests at the annual grid classic between Louisiana Tech and Northwestern. All in all, the legislators seemed to have had a great time. Typical of the reaction was that (Continue an Par Foarten-A) Legion Meet Opens Today At Ringgold RINGGOLD, Oct 18 (SpeciaD-The fall conference of the Fourth District American Legion-Auxiliary will get under way here Sunday with registration at 12:30 p.m. in the local high school auditorium.

Reveal Plans For 160-Acre Cemetery Here Development Under Way on Rolling Site South of Airport A new non-sectarian cemetery, to be called Forest Park West, is being developed for Shreveport old plantation country just south of the new Municipal Airport. Detailed plans for the development were disclosed yesterday by W. C.

Rasberry, president of the organization which owns it. The property already represents an investments of more than Rasberry said, and the owners expect the property to be worth considerably more when it is fully landscaped and developed. Forest Park West covers a 160-acre gently roily tract of grass and woodland just across West 70th Street from the airport property and just outside the formal city limits. It is situated in a tri-agle formed by West 70th, Meriwether Road on the southwest and the T. and Railroad tracks on the southeast.

Its main entrance as at the junction of 70th and Meriwether Road. At the entrance is to be placed a large solid block of granite carved with the dramatic silhouette of hands folded in prayer. The marker is being designed and carved especially for Forest Park West and will take approximately a year to finish, Rasberry said. Paved roads have been laid in the cemetery, fences are up, and considerable clearing and grading has been done already, Rasberry (Cantinaet an Fata Six-A) Shreveport was built for us by the American Legion," Vendeville said, "and each year the Legionnaires collect the largest amount of money for us during our pre-Christmas street collection.

Salvation Army representatives, accompanied by Legionnaires, will be stationed at the major down town corner locations as well as at the larger shopping centers in the suburban areas of the city.

Another estimated 1,000 persons are homeless in Reynosa, across from McAllen, Tex. Roy Rendon, manager of the Reynosa Chamber of Commerce, said another 2,000 persons who fled other Mexican villages were being fed by Reynosa authorities.

Some evacuation occurred from the Mexican towns of Valedeces, San Miguel and San Francisco. Several families were driven from their homes in Matamoros, Mexico, mostly duerto ram flooding. The Red Cross said 150 persons from Texas towns are housed at La Joya School The Red Cross said these per sons came mostly from Los Ebanos, Abram, Ojo De Argu, Penitas and Cuevitas. However, Civil Defense officials said an other estimated 150 persons probably found shelter with friends and relatives. Officials the small town of Abram was 90 per cent evacuated.

The Border Patrol said evacuations occurred in the villages of Refugio, Las Velas, Las Casita and La Grulla. Despite the hardship and loss of property, miraculously no loss of life has been reported. The river was jolted alive by continued heavy releases from Falcon Reservoir, some 150 miles upstream from here, and rains on both sides of the stream. Engineers have been forced to step up releases because of the heavy flow of upstream water. Reds Reveal Fatal Crash Of Jetliner MOSCOW, Oct.

18 WV-A Soviet TU104 jetliner crashed yesterday en route from Peiptng to Moscow killing all its passengers and crew members. Moscow Radio announced the crash tonight, but did not report the total number of victims. The TU104 jetliners can carry up to 70 passengers plus a crew of about 10. The broadcast said the TU104 crashed near the important rail junction city of Kanash, about 400 miles east of Moscow in the East Chuvasch autonomous Republic. The plane disintegrated on crashing, the broadcast said.

No further details of the crash; were given. No identities of the victims were made known. The radio said a Soviet government inquiry commission set up to investigate the disaster has flown to the crash scene. It was the first announced fatal crash of the sleek jet airliner the Russian airline Aeroflot now uses for international flights. Four West Germans returning to Moscow after an eastern trip were reported among the dead.

Diplomatic sources in London said the West German ambassador in Moscow, Dr. Hans Kroll, had sent a full report on their deaths to the West German foreign ministry. The TU104 has been used to ferry Soviet notables on foreign flights. Since Aeroflot added the plane to its services in 1956, the jetliner has been employed to carry Soviet delegations to U.N. meetings in the United States.

The crashed plane presumably was a regularly scheduled flight on the Moscow-Peiping run. Soviet propagandists, boosting it as a prestige product of Russian aviation, have made much of the fact that the Russians beat the West into regularly scheduled jet passenger flights.
