This time the spokesman was C- M. McFarland of Wichita Falls, fifthterm nominee lor Place 1 of District 111. In a lengthy release to newspapers Representative McFarland: 1.

Chided the Legislature for "shameful dereliction" in failing to obey the Constitutional mandate to reapportion after each federal decennial census; 2. Fpinted out inequalities of representation under the present apportionment: 3. Called; on "all fair-minded citizens" to Join him in asking Governor Coke Stevenson to con. vene the 49th Legislature in special session and "demand that It do its sworn duty." McFarland said that, what with many members of the 49th Legislature not coming back for the 50th, it is a "peculiarly auspicious time" for the redistricting job. He hinted rather strongly that "political considerations," i.e., reluctance to tamper with their various little political hierarchies, had caused a majority of legislators to oppose redistricting these last 15 years.

Lame Dock' Idea Abandoned Stevenson, earlier in the year, played with the idea of calling a "lame duck" session for the same purpose, but he has definitely abandoned the plan. Thus McFarland's seemed to be one more voice crying in the wilderness.

Full House Sees Its Grid Thrills and Fall Sports Attire By MARGARET MAYER American-Statesman Staff A beautiful day, a wonderful team, a grand game was Saturday's Texas-Oklahoma demonstration in Memorial Stadium. In crowds, in thrills and in dull-fellow enjoyment it was a rare football Saturday. Box office receipts soared to the maximum. Four thousand bleacher seats and the student blan Dream boat Roars Across Mediterranean on Cairo CAIRO, (Sunday), Oct. 6.

(UP) The B29 Superfortress Pacusan Dreamboat roared across the Mediterranean early Sunday on the last lap of its spectacular flight across the top of the world and Army Air Force officials estimated Jt would arrive here at 12:50 (CST) Sunday. After spanning the vast stretches of the Pacific, the bleak mountains of Alaska, the frozen stretches of the Polar regions, the great cities of Europe and the towering Alps, the big plane RAF Cancels Yugoslav Hops Bucharest-to-Bari Plane Forced Down ROME, Oct. 5. (UP) Allied Force Headquarters Saturday night cancelled all regular "Royal Air Force flights over Yugoslavia after reporting that the RAF courier plane from Bucharest to Bar! had been forced to land near Nish, close to the Yugoslav-Greek border, at the signals of Yugoslav combat aircraft. The RAF plane was ordered to make the landing Friday.

RAF personnel said the plane was the regular Friday courier plane from Bucharest to Bari, a C47, with a four or five man crew. taking an Aggie out of the Rockdale Man Shot to Death Murder Charged George Andrews ROCKDALE, Oct. 5 (SpD Earnest Andrews was shot to death on Rockdale's busy main street late Saturday afternoon. Carl C. Black, sheriff of Milam County, said a murder charge has been filed against George Andrews, a cousin of the deceased, in the justice 6f the peace court in Rockdale.

Newton Andrews, son of George Andrews, was critically wounded in the stomach with a knife during the fight, i Black said. The son, about 23 years old, was being operated on Saturday night in a Temple hospital where he was rushed immediately after the shooting. George Andrews, although under arrest, was in Temple at his son's bedside, Black stated. Sheriff Black said that an argument between Newtmi Andrews and the 46-year-old Earnest Andrews was started on the main street of Rockdale which was crowded with late afternoon shoppers. The argument became a fight, Black said.

According to Black, someone in the crowd shouted, "Watch out, he's got a knife." Herbert Cannon, Rockdale deputy constable, and others in the crowd separated the pair. Earnest Andrews was then shot, Black said. George Andrews rode to Temple Continued on Page 4, Col. 3) By WILBUR EVANS American-Statesman Sports Editor Stillwater runs deep and deep with grief this Saturday night, for in the afternoon its dreams of a national championship football team were trampled into the hallowed sod of Memorial Stadium as Dana Bible's Thundering Herd stampeded to a 54-6 triumph. Forty-five thousand fans looked on as the supercharged Steers scored their third straight lopsided victory of the year over an awesome Oklahoma eleven that had been unbeaten in collegia! competition since 1943.

The Cow-pokes from Stillwater had won 29 games and had been tied only one since another dark day three yeari ago when they fell before the Tulsa Hurricane by a 55-6 count. Adds To UT Prestige Jim Lookabaugh's Aggies had run into some good teams befora they moved into Memorial Stadium Saturday, but they had never run into anything comparable to tha touchdown avalanche that hit thera here. The fact that the Aggies claim to be even stronger than in 1944, when they won the Cotton Bowl championship, and in 1945, when they won the Sugar Bowl crown. adds to the prestige of Texas. The Longhorns' triumph wai to decisive and conclusive that it probably established them as tha No.

1 team in the nation. The gama itself had been rated by all experts as collegiate football's top attraction of the weekend. Saturday's struggle had been billed as a duel between two leading ail-American candidates Texas' Bobby Layne and the Aggies Bob Fenimore, who won the high honor a year ago. The duel didn't develop because the Cowpoke star was injured and had to leave the game in the first half, but Layne carried on in a manner that convinced tha fans they had seen one of football's greatest players at work. Layne Scores Four Times Until Saturday the Steer star had gained his glory with passes.

But on this occasion, while the Cow-pokes quaked and rubber -necked for a pass that seldom came, Layne changed his tactics and ran tfeem into the ground. Few great ball carriers ever had better days than the man they said couldn't run. Layne carried eight times for net gain of 125 yards and he completed four of eight passes for 29 yards, a total of 154 yards. No ona on the field came close to approaching those figures. But the cold statistics do not b-gin to tell the story of how Robert Lawrence sparked the Steers to one of their greatest triumphs of all time.

His 'passes set up tha first touchdown; he scored the second on an eight-yard thrust, tha third on a smashing 39-yard gallop through the middle, the fourth on a three-yard off-tackle burst and the fifth on a terrific 74-yard run that built the Texas lead to 33-6 less than two minutes after the second half got under way. Layne came out of the ball game after that and did not return. But still they ran, and still they scored and still the wonder grew as to just how terrific this 1946 Texas team will become as it rolls along. Fenimore Intercepts Fenimore, not in ship shape because of an 'injury suffered last week in the tie with Arkansas, was around long enough to convince Steers and fans alike that he is a great player. It was he who gave the Aggies their only touchdown.

Six minutes after the Longhorns had scored their first touchdown with customary alacrity, the Cow-pokes were back in the ball game through Mr. Fenimore's efforts. When Layne overshot Hub Bech- (Continued on Page 17, CoL 1) Steelman's new report warns that if price rises go much higher businessmen and farmers may find they have "priced themselves out of the market and into a Hagen cited an official estimate that business is piling up inventory stocks of materials and salable goods at a rate of $6,500,000,000 a year. The rate indicates that the accumulation will end in the first half of 1947, he said in other words, it will have caught up with demand. Simultaneously, these conditions may come about; The government may achieve its aim of balancing the budget, or in other words, spend less than it takes in; building activity and exports may level off; taxes probably will stay high much of the year.

"If these things occur, consumers will have to spend a lot more than they are spending now to prevent a recession," Hagen said.

Wainwright and Governor-Nominee Beauford Jester, seeing his first Texas game this year. Stadium Breezy Before game time the student section was spotted with umbrellas shading early arrivals from the sun that ducked under and from under clouds all afternoon.

Rumor was that many students cut 11 a. m. classes to be first on hand for the 50-yard line seats. A good southerly wind kept the stadium breezy if not cool and permitted a fashionable display of fall sports attire. It also encouraged a nip or two and a few staggerers.

A threatening black cloud and a brief sprinkling of rain brought out raincoats foi several plays in the fourth quarter. New Mascot First showoff was Bevo III (Hang on to this one, boys. He might prove good luck.) The new Long-horn steer mascot off the Kfirr-ville ranch of Regent W. Scott Schrginer was trotted in by members of the Silver Spurs. A flag-raising ceremony saw the Cowboys march, leading the Long-horn Band with a colorful display of the Allied Nations flags and Texas' six flags.

As the Silver Spurs stood at attention at the south end of the field a volley sounded, the flags rose and the band played the "Star Spangled Banner." The Oklahoma Aggies shrouded in black uniforms looked as threatening as that black cloud and the spectator strategists watched the kickoff and the first play fumble (that the officials said was not a fumble) with determination. 'There goes Fenimore" and "watch that 68" accompanied play after (Continued on Page 21, Col. 2) Newton Retrial Motion Denied TULIA, Oct. 5. District judge C.

The almost constant constant communication which the Dream-boat'l radio operator had kept with the ground while over England, France and Switzerland was broken in the last hours of the flight. But information received at Payne FUld, Cairo, Egypt, Sunday indicated no trouble had been encountered.

(The supcrfort encountered light thunderstorms over the Mediterranean and may not be able to reach Cairo until 1:25 a. m. CST, the Army Air Force in Washington announced.) No definite announcement had yet been made as to whether the Dreamboat would land at Cairo after a 10.300-mile flifiht from Honolulu or whether it might continue on south down the Nile into Egypt to lengthen its trip for as long as the gasoline supply held out. As the Dreamboat passed over Geneva, Switzerland, the operator flashed a message to Orly Field, Paris, that "everything is smooth." 8th Victim of Gas Refinery Blast Dies MARCUS HOOK, Oct. 5 (JP) Clarence Fox, 40-year-old Sun Oil Company mechanic, died Saturday, the eighth victim of Thursday night's spectacular fire and explosions that ripped through a section of the Sun refinery.

An appeal for big, blustering Hermann Goering, who had said with trembling hands that his death sentence was the "best of all," came in an hour before the deadline, with four others. It was learned that Goering's attorneys did not appeal the verdict as such, but raised legal objections to certain points of the judgment. The other 14, on their own initiative, or at the iasistence of their relatives or lawyers, asked that the sentences be set aside or softened.

(P Arabs and British officials openly nursed their anger at President Truman Saturday, but dissent within Britain over the government's Palestine policy entered the picture. The Foreign Office, confirming previous reports, said Prime Minister Attlee had sent a personal note to President Truman and went even further than Friday in expressing resentment over the President's refusal to delay publication of his statement advocating the immediate admission of a substantial number of Jewish immigrants into the Holy Land. Policy Hit Winston Churchill, former prime minister, openly criticized the government's Palestine policy in a speech to a Conservative Party convention at Blackpool, declaring it was "vacillating" and an abandonment of "lavish promises" made to the Jews by the Labor Party before it took office. He added that the government was hanging on to a mandate "in which they have no vital interest."

The appeals were filed here, and the appeals from the verdicts of guilty against the SS, SD and Gestapo organizations and memberships had been transmitted to the control council in Berlin. But the first appeal from an individual defendant did hot actually reach the control council in Berlin until Saturday afternoon, and paradoxically it was that for Martin Bormann, who had never faced the tribunal. Economy Experts Only 3 of 79 Nazis Convicted at Nuernberg Spurn Chance To Appeal to Control Council WASHINGTON, Oct.

5. (P) Economists here noted signs Saturday which they said could point to a depression for late 1947 or early 1948, but a mild and brief one. Everett Hagen, chief economist of the National Planning Association, a non-governmental research or ganization, told a reporter that "there are forces which ould bring a softening of demand in the first half of the year" and possibly increase today's phenomenally low unemployment by 2,000,000 or persons. Louis Paradiso. Commerce Department economist, saw consumer demand strong enough to carry the high level of business activity well into next year and perhaps into 1948 but commented that "the situation is likely to be vulnerable next year." Another government economist whose name may not be used re ported "certain danger signals which should be watched" because of some similarities to "pre-bust! days of 1920.

But he noted that business might grow even more vigorous if prices are held under control and that businessmen are more cautious and "more aware of instability than in 1920." Growing watchfulness was evident in other quarters. 1. The Agriculture Department reported meat demand might slacken 12 or 15 months hence because consumer income is expected to turn downward in late 1947 or early 1948. 2. Tne AFL "Labor's Monthly Survey" currently reports that the rise in living costs "is now clearly over" and "by early next year consumer prices may turn down." Some companies already are cutting down their expansion plans, the AFL publication said.
