The Denton Soroptimist Club is the campaign to raise funds with which to build a Girl Scout Hut in the City Park and the cornerstone laying will be held Thursday evening, 5:38 to 7:30 o'clock, to which the public is The members of the cluo have adopted the idea-of 'vanishing coffee' parties, following the idea of the chain-letters, which were used so often in times past. Starting with a iew members, each of whom will invite others to coffee sad then each of the invited guests give another coffee until the vanishing point. Each invited guest is to give 50 cents toward the building fund of $3,000, the hoped-for goal. The Girl Scouts organization has become one of the most active in the city and the new building will add much to' tie effectiveness of the club.

Mr. and Mrs; Roy Smith have returned from their vacation trip to Houston on which trip Mrs. Smith's mother, Mrs. George Ward, accompanied them. After the Houston trip, they took time to catch a lot of fish on Lake Texoma.

Roy is associated with the Rura! Electrification while Mrs. Smith handles the cash at the City Drug Store. A great surprise as well as a great pleasure came to Mrs. Virgil Adams this week when she heard from her brother, Leslie Brewer, whom she considered lost in World War 1. Mrs.

Adams had heard nothing from her brother during the past thirty-three years and information sought of the War Department was fruitless. A 'letter came this past week from Brewer, who now lives in California. Brewer formerly lived in Frisco and enlisted in World War I from this county. Mrs. Adams, his sister, is the former Miss Verble Brewer.

9 "I Tent with the MKT Ry. Co. See ROUNDABOUT, Page 2 WASHINGTON Ifl Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway told Congress today that Communist talk about germ and gas warfare should impress en all the deadly danger confronting the fret world.

In an address to a joint meeting of the Senate and House, the four- star general slopped short of saying he fears the Communists will use those weapons. But his plain implication was that he agrees with those who say the Communist technique is to charge others with crimes they intend to commit. 200 Parity Raiders Invade Dorms At NT; Probe Starts "Panty raiding" men students at North Texas State College invaded four girls' dormitories Wednesday night in search of lingerie loot and launched the nationwide campus fad in Denton. Between 200 and 300 men, some with handkerchiefs over their faces, struck at Terrill, Bruce and Chillon Halls aiid Oak Street Dormitory about 9:30 p.m. emerged triumphantly waving panties and other undergarments seized in the rooms.

The raiders were met at the dorms by Dr. Imogene Bentley, dean of women, sad G. Woods, dean oi men. With them were college photographers who snapped pictures of the pranksters, six policemen; a constable and a slate highway patrolman The camera of sr.fi was damaged, One raider was taken to the police station but was released before midnight without charges. Dr.

J. C. Matthews, fiTsO president, said today "a thorough investigation" is beifig made. Asked if disciplinary action would be iaken, Matthews saitt: "We will be able to issue a statement later, after the investigation." The raid was a "failure" as far as the ringleaders' plans were concerned, Matthews continued. He indicated college officials had received advance warning and decided to offer no resistance, to avoid the possibility that doors and windows might be broken.

"We didn't try to use force," he said. "I think this policy is better than -using tear gas or water. Rev. Carl Bunch Called To Church In Siveetivater The Rev. Carl pastor of the Church of the Nazarene since 1948, has been called to the First Church of the Nazarcne in Sweetwater.

The Rev. Mr. Bunch -with his wife and two children, Car) 12, and Sherry Jean, will leave Denton June 5. His last service at the local church will be June 1. No successor has been named for the Rev.

Mr. Bunch. The district superintendent will meet with members of the local congregation Wednesday to select a pastor. There was no violence of ny kind l8st night." Matthews said the college photographers were stationed at the dormitories is hopes that the raid could be averted. About 30 pictures were taken.

The president said they would be used to help identify the ringleaders. "There were probably only about 30 boys who actually entered the buildings," he said '-The others made a lot pi noise but just stood around outside." Scattered screams were heard from the dorms as the boys gathered outside and rushed through the doors, but many of the girls treated the raid as a joke. Several leaned out of windows and cheered, the raiders One or two shouted, "Chicken," at lae- gards. There was no resistance. The girls watched passively as the boys raceci down corridors and opened closets and bureau drawers.

"Dean Bentley warned us of the raid," one girl said, "She told us to act natural snd offer no resistance." Another added: "They (the boys) are just a bunch of juvenile delinquents." A third declared: "The whole thing hilarious." The raiders began forming near the Union Building about 9 p.m. For several minutes the men did nothing, but as their numbers grew the decision was made. The laughing, shouting procession moved to Chilton Hall, paused and then continues to the quadrangle men's dorm. Then the men crossed pus. They entered Terrill ''first, and then Bruce, Chilton and the Osk Sires: dc-rra uare rushed.

An attempt was made to enter Marquis Hal! but the door was locked See PANTY RAID, Page 2 HUGE ODESSA FIRE QUELLED A Iff A wild jug- gemaut--seven runaway gasoline cars--era shed'at high speed into a standing switch engine and exploded into a million dollar fire here last night. Firemen had quelled the blaze by 1 a.m. (CST) but were still pouring water on the smoking ruins of two large warehouses destroyed by the blaze. The seven cars, loaded with high octane casinghead gasoline, started rolling 12 miles away at a carbon black plant west of this West Texas oil town. Two unidentified plant workers said the wild cars passed their pickup truck'while the motor vehicle was making 75 miles per hour.

The two men had attempted to head off the breakneck doimhill plunge of the cars. Destroyed in the blaze were three of the tank cars and their cargoes, two Urge warehouses, the switch engine, and half tht cargo of a fourth tank car. The other three cars were badly damaged in the crash. The warehouses, both about 100 feet by 60 feet long, contained petroleum products, paint and general merchandise. Firemen from nearby Midland, joined 50 Odessa firemen and every piece of the town's firefighting equipment in balling the roaring flames.

Small explosions in the oil warehouse, apparently from oil drums, hindred the firemen. They used "fog" nozzles to extinguish the flames on the burning gasoline cars. Foamite, a carbon dioxide extinguisher, was used in part of the warehouse fires. Odessa Fire Chief Charles Meadows estimated the damage at "up to a million dollars." It was the fourth costly oil-fed blaze In Texas in less than a fortnight The warehouses were owned by City Transfer Storage Company and the Jack Rainosek Sales firemen said. Operators of the carbon black plant and Texas Pacific Railroad officials were unavailable for comment.

U.S. Fighter-Bombers Smash Huge Communist Supply Area SEOUL, Korea Fifth Air Force fighter-bombers, in an all- out, hour-by-hour attack, today smashed a Co "nun is supply area between the North Korean capital of Pyongyang and its port, Chinnampo. The attack began at dawn and continued througlioul the day. The Air Force described the target irea as a huge war materiel manufacturing and supply area. Pilots reported 117 buildings de- and heavily damaged.

Hsrrison said North Korean Gen. Nam used it in a feeble attempt to reply to Joy in what Harrison called "plain drivel." For weeks, the Red propaganda machine has a out charges that United Nations forces in Korea are using gas and germs Hidgway said the charges are false in their entirety but that the Communist harping on them should serve as "a monumental warning as menacing and urgent as a forest fire bearing down on a wooden village." The former U. N. commander in the Far East received a rousing welcome from the lawmakers. Ridgway came to the capitol while the House was debating its $6,889,100,000 foreign aid bill.

The amount is about one billion below what President Truman asked and critics of the bill are out to cut it more. Ridgway made no mention of the matter, however, although the amount is of vital importance to European defense forces he is to command in succession of 3en. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Before his speech, Ridgway had i meeting behind closed doors with he Senate Foreign Helations Com- nittee.

Chairman Connally (D- Tex) quoted Ridgway afttrwards as saying he planned no major changes "in any politics that General Eisenhower has approved." Connally said Ridgway did not discuss the foreign aid bill. He added: "General Ridgway explained he was not sufficiently familiar, with European situation to discuss proposed reductions." He quoted the general as saying, in reply to a question, he would insist that the European "members of NATO do their full part." In his address, Ridgway made a general.report.on Htr' gave Congress' a dramatic account of Hnw the Eighth Army in Korea, only three days under his command, repulsed an attempt by the Chinese and North Koreans to knock ft out after a long retreat, and rose again on the offensive un less than a month.

It took the federal district court jury one hour and IS minutes to decide Montgomery's fate. He sat erect and outwardly unmoved as the Jury verdict was-announced. Federal Judge T. Whitfield Da vidson slernly told the former professional football player that "in the eyes of laymen, the sheriff the embodiment ot the law." Montgomery had been charged with three evasion counts involving his 1948, 1949 and 1950 income tax returns. Judge Davidson fixed sentences of two years, four years, anc three years on the three counts The two-year sentence is to run concurrently with the other two Montgomery's attorneys said they would file a notice of appeal loday to the Circuit Court of Appeals.

Montgomery, freed on a $7,000 appeal bond, said he expected lo remain in' office as sheriff until a decision is handed down by the appellate court: He said he was still a candidate for re-election to his fourth term.

The bag was of plastic and about one foot long. Newsmen at the scene speculated that it contained the bulk of the stolen funds. The FBI agents withheld comment.

The find was made as two West Warwick men, former civilian em- ployes of the air station awaited arraignment of charges of tie theft. The $100,000 beloved to a credit union at th air station and was taken in a holdup oi employes March 7. The FBI reported when it arrested Howard HUdebrandt 25 and Robert R.

Peace Reigns Over Railroads WASHINGTON IS--Union man agement peace, the first in more than three years, came to the na lion's railroads today and the gov eminent was ready to give up its operation of the roads. Three rail unions, with a com bined membership of 150,000 signed a "memorandum ot agreement' with the carriers Jate last nigh in the White House. agreement, unlike one signed by the same three union chiefs in December, 1950, is bind ing on the rank-and-file.

The IS5C agreement was repudiated by i vote of the memberships of th three unions. Actual return of the roads to their private owners will come a soon as the unions and the rail roads sign a contract based on the terms snd conditionj of employ ment agreed to last night. But Says He Will Yield To Court WASHINGTON jn en rruman said, today he has the power to seize private in an emergency and nobody can take away from him. However, Truman added at a news conference that he will abide by the decision of the Supreme Court in the matter of Ms seizure If the steel industry. Reporters questioned him at length in an effort to clear up what seme of them called the apparent conflict between these two statements.

The President said he saw no con: Jlict. He had this to say of his seizure power: Nobody can take it away from he President because it part of his inherent powers. In the case of the steel industry which Truman seized under his claimed inherent powers a district judge has ruled that lie acted without authority under the law or the Constitution. The issue ifcfov, before (he Supreme Court. The seizure question arose after Truman said he was very happy that the three-year old railroad dispute was finally settled.

He added it could have been settled on the present terms in 1950. The railroads have been under government seizure since 1950. Unlike the case of the steel industry this seizure was made under a spe- cifip law enacted in 1916 and applying to the railroads and other communications industries. In his discussion today the secure Truman said people sometimes can't urideYslaifd "it belter tii abide by law 'than not. lie said he hopes both, management and labor now will abide by Uje Railway Labor Act so that no further seizure of the railroads will' bo necessary.

Truman said he will turn the railroads back to the management as. soon as he can get the papers signed. The President said he has been trying ever since he entered the House to get a Jaw that would ensure real negotiation between union and-management in basic industries siMh as rails and steel. At present, he said, government seiiure seems to be the only method of keeping the economy See TRUMAN, Page 2 WEATHER DENTON AND VICINITY: Partly cloudy; widely scattered thuu- dershowers today and tonight; cooler tonight and Friday.

Light, scattered showers were over the county early loday. By KCITH FULLER STATE COLLEGE, Miss. soft-spoken scientist and a young sailplane pilot were trying today to learn lo fly like Mississippi buzzards.

Dr. August Raspet, head of the Atrophysics Department at Mississippi State College, and Dick Johnson, graduate student and world's distance titleholder in soaring, are teamed in a series' of unusual experiments that call for everything from trained buzzards to a bicycle aircraft. Ssiipiznc enthusiasts and newsmen watched Johnson as be tailed a wild buzzard across the sky yesterday afternoon. Because the buzzard glides through the air with half the resistance or drag of man's most efficient sailplane. Dr.

Raspet and fin, Casualty JM W. Nicholt Int. Agtncy, Johnson wanted to tint out how he does it There is, they decided, only one way--to study the bird in flight. So Johnson, 29-year-old aeronautical student from Palm Springs, goes up in a sailplane and plays tag with the buzzards and radios information to Dr. Rtspet on the ground.

This system of following the birds worked fine for preliminary tests but the team ij now ready for deeper scientific delving. That calls for a trained buzzard that will fly around Central Mississippi's pastures snd cotton fields, carrying a barograph and other instruments. Finding an amiable buzzard that would co-optrate in tests seemed quite a large order until Raspet found naturalist George Carter of KendelvUle, tome- thing of a bird psychologist, who trained one. But just when the buiiard had learned to fly at bis masta'a wtistle aad carry the necessary instruments, he choked on a chick-. en bone and died.

Now Carter is training two squadrons of buzzards, one to fly in wind tunnels and the other in free flight Meanwhile. Johnson win continue tracking wild birds across the skies around SUte College. Johnson and Dr. tiso art working on Navy research project for the Navy is. one of tiie only sailplane or motorless flight experiment stations in the world.
