2 Moberly Monitor- i Index aud Democrat Judge Mirston Approved as U.S. Justice Appointment to High Court Approved by Senate, 48 to 16 WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 Backed by top-heavy Senate approval. Judge Sherman Minton wa expected today to take the oath of office promptly as a member of the United States Supreme Court. The lawmakers approved his appointment last night by a vote of 48 to 16 after batting down a motion to send the nomination back to the judiciarv committee.

Minton, who will be 59 years old October 20, was named by President Truman to succeed the late Justice Wiley B. Rutledge. He takes to the court an eight-year record as a judge of the seventh circuit court of appeals. Morse Move Fails Minton's confirmation came after Senator Morse (R-Ore.) failed on a 45 to 21 vote to send the appointment back to committee with instructions to require testimony from the nominee. Senators Ferguson (R-Mich.) and Donnell (R-Mo.) had sought the chance to ask Minton about the views he expressed on public questions while he was serving as a Senator from Indiana in the New Deal's hey-day from 1935 to 1941.

The committee at first ordered Minton to appear. It withdrew that order when Minton wrote the group that he thought such action raised "a serious question of propriety, particularly when I might be required to express my views on highly controversial and litigious issues affecting the court." The committee then voted 9 to 2 approval of the nomination. CHASGES STIR PROBE--The recent public charged of Capt. John G.

HOUSTON, Oct. 5 howling Gulf hurricane that hit Texas crops a hard blow was just a hoarse wind today. It pushed feebly through Marshall, Shreveport. and into southwest Arkansas last night, carrying heavy rains. The hurricane's punch at this big metropolis was surprisingly light, and even the smaller cities and towns in its path rode the blow with ease.

Rice, cotton and vegetable crops were hardest hit. Thousands found refuge in public shelters as the storm struck first Monday night between Matagorda and Freeport. About 1:30 a.m. yesterday it hit here and moved inland. Winds of 80, 90 and up to 100 miles an hour were recorded as the hurricane came in from the Gulf of Mexico.

One Known Death There was just one known death and one person was missing. Mrs. Alpha Hebert. elderly Port Neches woman, slipped in the mud yesterday and grabbed an electric wire blown down by the storm. She was electrocuted.

Jimmy of Fala- cios was missing after volunteering to swim to shore from a stalled cabin cruiser in Matagorda bay. Damage to Jefferson (Beaumont) county's 58,000,000 rice crop ranged from 20 to 70 per cent. Vegetable crops as well as rice and were hard hit in Harris county (Houston). The total loss was set at about 000,000. Checks May Arrive Early Payments Expected to Start in December; Another 'Cut 7 Later WASHINGTON.

Oct. 5--(fP) --The Veterans Administration may start paying the $2,800,00.0,000 GI insurance dividend before Christmas--at the rate of a million checks a week. As soon as the bulk of those payments is out of the way the agency get to work on a second special dividend, the size of which has not yet been determined. Veterans Administrator Carl R. Gray, has ordered completion of the first dividend payment some 16,000,000 World War II veterans, by next June 30 if possible.

May Start Early The'VA insurance section had expectc." to start the payments in January, on a a-day basis. But a spokesman told a reporter: 'There is a possibility that we might start them before the of the year. "We will go just as fast as we can. and if can beat the January deadline we will." About 12,000,000 veterans have applied for the dividend since application blanks became available Aug. 29.

"Dividend checks will go out roughly in the order that the applications were received-- first come, first served," the spokesman said. S528 Maximum "Veterans who fail to apply? Their dividends will be held for them." The maximum dividend is $528. It is available to veterans aged 40 or less when they took out their policies, and who kept $10,000 nolicies in force for 96 months up to 'the 1948 anniversary date. 'Eventually--and when there is a surplus--VA expects to pay the dividends annually on policy anniversary dates," the spokesman said. He said there probably will to be at least-one other special dividend -to cover the period that has elapsed since the 1948 cut-off date for the initial payment.

Unofficial estimates are that the second special dividend will be paid in 1951 or 1952. Carl Pranges Move Mr. and Mrs. Carl Prange and son. Carl moved Saturday to the Hill Cabins on Highway 24.

Powell of Jefferson, whose husband, Clarence, attracted wide attention in February, 1926, by filing a document deeding the land in northern Sharp county to "the Lord Jesus Christ."

Mrs. Powell filed suit in chancery court against Smith, charging that her husband was not capable of managing his affairs when he deeded the property to the Lord.

Calls Meeting Friday in Effort to End Coal Walkout (Continued from Page 1) is nothing in sight to end the free pension, war. More than 250 Ohio railroaders were ordered furloughed as a direct result of the walkout In Ashtabula, 200 employes of the NewYork CentralRailroad car shops were laid off. The Pennsylvania Railroad said it will lay off 50 workers at Ashtabula. Consider Export Ban The government is considering clamping down on steel exports. Many complaints announced precautionary steps to conserve steel.

The issues in both steel and coal strikes are about the same. The workers want better pensions and insurance programs Both Stand Pat Let's take a look at the picture in steel: Philip Murray, president of the steel workers, is standing pat on his demand that industry pay all the costs of a pension and welfare program. Industry is standing pat, too. It will pay up to 10 cents an hour--but insists workers chip in a few cents an hour, too. There are no negotiating sessions in sight.

The government is keeping hands off for the present. That doesn't mean the government isn't, concerned. Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer says he's considering imposing export controls on steel. That would keep more steel in America, prolonging employment in many industries in case the strike isn't ended soon. Allocation Bases Almost as Sawyer was talking, Westinghouse placed a number of home appliances on an allocation basis to distributors and dealers.

These include large model refrigerators, electric ranges, washing machines, clothes driers, vacuum cleaners, water heaters and fans. Repercussions of the steel walkout are coming from Detroit. For the most part, auto companies have enough steel on hand to make autos for a month. However, 8,000 employes, of Packard Motors Car Company will be idled tomorrow and Friday. Packard wants to survey the situation and adjust its working schedule to the supply of steel on hand.

Coal for a Month There's not a great deal of worrying over the lack of coal although the UMW walkout of soft coal miners is now in its 17th day. There's still enough coal above ground to keep most of industry humming at least another month. Reports of sporadic, violence come from the soft coal fields daily. The latest flareup was in Virginia last night. A few arrests were made.

In Pennsylvania a --coal preparation structure-was damaged by, an explosion yesterday at the C. V. Fink and Son mine near Clearfield-. And several trucks hauling non-union coal were dumped along roadways near Hollidaysburg, Pa. Three men were arrested.

Two pickets were fined in the stoning of non-union coal truck drivers in Cambria county, Pa. Optimistic Note All of the violence stems from efforts of a few hundred nonunion coal operators to keep their mines running. UMW President John L. Lewis is seeking a new contract to replace the one which ran out last June 30. He hasn't disclosed his demands.

But there's little question he wants the royalty fund payments increased, possibly bringing them up to 30 cents a ton. And Lewis had indicated he wants an hour knocked off the present eight-hour day without a pay loss. A meeting between the UMW and the Southern Coal Producers Association ended on an optimistic note at Bluefield, W. yesterday. There were reports the operators had made some sort of an offer.

It couldn't be confirmed. But President Joseph E. Moody declared, he believed the negotiations have "turned the corner." There was speculation in some quarters Lewis and Murray might end their long standing feud in order to get the twin strikes settled. Neither commented taut a source very close to Murray declared' "That's a laugh!" From the nation's classified columns Notice Anyone found near my chicken house at night will be found there in the morning. -Outlook Parole Sought for State's Witness In Eubanks Case Herman Alva Robinson, 40- year-old Kansas Citian who turned state's evidence in the Eubanks murder case here, will come up for parole in December before the parole board of the Missouri state penitentiary.

Navy Advised a House Committee Is Told Key Figure in Probe Resigned Aug. 30 WASHINGTON, Oct. --A Ho se committee advised the navy today to fire Cedric Worth, the penman whose views on the air force B-36 bomber program set off a congressional inquiry. The navy then announced Worth'already had quit.

He was the first casualty of the latest maneuvering in a bitter navy-air force row that has brought circulation of anonymous memoranda and surrepti- ous slipping of documents to news reporters! Worth was suspended in Aug- ted writing an unsigned memorandum, circulated in Congress last summer, which criticized the B-36 program. He was then a civilian assistant to Undersecretary of the Navy Dan Kimball. otart Inquiry Worth was suspends din August- navy announced today that he, resigned Aug. 30. Shortly before the navy announcement, the House armed services committee had approved a report saying Worth should i be permanently discharged from i navy employment.

The committee announced i will open tomorrow an inquiry into reports that navy morale has to a low point a result of the way the law unifying the armed services has been administered. Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) said i the first witnesses will include three admirals whose name were signed to papers that a navy sour, gave secretly to reporters on Monday. They are Adm. Louis Denfeld chief of naval, operations; Adm Arthur W. Radford, Pacific fleet commander, and Vice Admiral Gerald F.

Bogan, commander of the first Pacific task fleet Truman Watches The papers were a letter from Bogan to Secretary of the Navy Matthews with forwarding endorsements from Radford and Denfeld. Calling the papers "confidential, the navy has ordered an investigation of how they became public. Both inquiries are expected to spotlight--as did the B-36 investigation--the bitter quarrel between the navy and the air force over their respective roles in military planning. Thus far President Truman has kept hands off the inter- service row. But there were indications he was keeping in close touch with developments.

The schedule of his appointments for today included an afternoon call from Secretary of Defense Johnson and Secretary of the Navy Matthews. Trial Started for Accused Slayer of Former Columbian ST. LOUIS, Oct. 5 continued today in the first degree murder trial of Leonard Bayless, 22. accused of slaying a 42-year-old divorcee on the night of June 11.

1948. The body of Mrs. Gladys Hai- lenback Crossley, daughter of a retired Columbia, druggist, was found in a park. She had been criminally assualted and severely beaten. Two witnesses testified yesterday after the jury was sworn in.

One had found the body and the other, a policeman, later photographed the murder scene. The state is prepared to show that Earless, who is married, was with Mrs. Crossley the night of the murder, the prosecutor told the court. Stocks Develop a Wobbly Streak After Early Gains NEW YORK. Oct.

5 -The stock market- developed a wobbly streak after an opening burst of strength today. The early rise carried the general price level to a new peak for the year. The market, on average, remained higher but individual advances were chopped down and a good I ful of stocks backed up a trifle. Changes either way were limited mostly to less than a point. Turnover was at the rate of around 1.500.000 shares.

The market managed to further headway despite continuation of the steel and coal strikes and apparent absence of any progress toward settlement. Higher most of the day were U. S. Steel. Republic Steel, Studebaker.

In most instances losses were not large, although they ran to more than a cent in soybeans. The July wheat contract dropped quite sharply toward the close. This represents 1950 wheat and its price trend was greatly influenced by the running battle in Washington over farm legislation. Easiness in soybeans followed a retreat by lard and cottonseed oil futures. Hog runs are expanding and local lard stocks are expected to increase as a result, traders said.

Wheat closed i lower, December S2.i2-la-^i. corn was unchanged to lower, December $1.18 oats were lower, December 6 7 i rye was 1 to 1 lower, December S1.45V2-V4, soybeans were IVi to 2 cents lower, November and lard was lt to 25 cents a hundred pounds lower, October $11.20.
