(AP) A rising death toll from the fearful hurricane that swept the eastern Gulf Coast was counted Saturday night as ebbing waters permitted a survey of casualties and destruction. Twenty-three bodies were, recovered in the Biloxi-Gulfport vicinity of the Mississippi Coast I resort area, where the storm was Old Sol and Minor Stadium Fire Team Up On Students By GLENN M. GREEN American-Statesman Staff As if Old Sol's 98-degree rays weren't students at the Texcs-Texas Tech game in Memorial Stadium Saturday were sitting right on top of a stubborn, smouldering blaze. The crowd of 30,000 might not long remember the Longhorn triumph but it had good cause to recall the game as one of the 3-Time Gotham Mayor LaGuardia Succumbs at 64 Tributes Come From Leaders of World; Rites Set Monday NEW YORK. Sept.

20. (UP) Fiorello H. LaGuardia, three times mayor of New York, former director of UNNRA, and one of the most colorful political figures of this generation of Americans, died Saturday. Saturday afternoon his body was taken to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine on Morningside Heights to lie in state until funeral services Monday afternoon.

The file of mourners from a public to whom he was beloved as "Butch" and "The Little Flower" formed at once, and it was believed that hundreds of thousands would pay their respects to the son of an Italian immigrant who became a symbol of rugged, incorruptible American democracy 'sx action. Tribute Paid Tributes from world leaders deluged the family in their home in the Riverdale section of the Bronx where LaGuardia breathed his last at 7:22 a. m. after lying in a coma since Tuesday. Death was due to a pancreas cancer.

He was 64 years old. Shortly before 7:30 a. m. his physician, Dr. George Baehr, who had been at his side all night, stepped to the door and motioned to a group of reporters waiting on the rain-swept sidewalk and sadly announced the end.

Courage Recalled He is survived by his wife, Marie, their adopted children, Jean, 18, and Eric, 15. They and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Elsie Fisher, were at his bedside when death came Although expected, the news was a shock to this city's millions. People on street corners and in their homes recalled his courage, his incorruptible honesty, and his traits and antics that set him apart from all other figures in public life. Marshall Plan May Cost US $16,295,000,000 16 European Nations Vote Unanimously On Reconstruction Help PARIS.

Sept 20. iP) Representatives of 16 nations, winding up two and a half months' discussions of the Marshall Plan to aid Europe economically, Saturday approved unanimously a reconstruction program under which the United States will be asked to foot a bill of at leat $16,295,000,000 during the next four years. The program will be signed formally Monday when an abstract of the conference report will be released simultaneously by the 16 participating foreign ministries and the US State Department After the signing, a British "King's messenger" will leave by plane for Washington to deliver a copy of the program to US Secretary of tSate George C. Marshall, who first suggested in an address at Harvard University June 5 that Europe agree upon a plan. The re port with an accompanying letter, will be handed to Secretary Marshall Tuesday.

The full report will be released simultaneously by the participants and the State Department Sunday, Sept 28. The program, which received a final reading Friday night was approved by a show of hands at a brief conference session Saturday afternoon. The original bill for reconstruction of the participating nations was $22,499,000,000. A conference spokesman said the delegates decided Friday night to reduce this by $3,294,000,000 for machinery and other capital equipment In accordance with a suggestion of US Undersecretary of State William L. Clayton, the International Dank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank) will be asked to underwrite the capital equipment item.

Occupation To Cost US More WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. (JP) Occupying conquered enemy territory is going to cost the United States many more millions than originally anticipated, the Senate appropriations committee learned officially Saturday. Estimates on the increase ranged from $265,000,000 to $500,000,000 over the funds originally provided by Congress to last until next July 1. Congress had allowed $600,000 for the job.

The apparent necessity of absorbing part oL. Britain's financial load in occupied Germany, plus the increased cost of commodities and transportation are responsible for the increased occupation outlays, the committee was told. If the United States does not take over part of Britain's dollar burden in Germany, Senator Bridges chairman of the appropriations committee said, the British Zone "might go by default to Russia." He does not expect the British to default Bridges said, but explained that the dollar-pressed British have made no definite proposals to the United States so far as to how much aid they need in connection with occupation costs. The costs are now split 50-50 between the US and Britain. End of Centennial Teachers Hit Minimum Wage Big Spring Faculty Demands State Salary BIG SPRING.

In on extraordinary meeting Saturday, classroom teachers of the Big Spring i I plane naa inaae contact wiui tu independent school district informed the fishermen, who were safe they could 'hottest" attended. Especially the blanket tax hold ers in the east stands, where the fire started beneath the concrete stadium. Black smoke clouds blew up into the student section, leaving UT fans with tears in their eyes while the Longhorns marched to victory.

The fire under Section 40 started pouring forth a greasy, black pall of smoke early in the second quarter. Firemen at the scene attributed it to cigarettes' kindling two-by-four form supports left when the cement was, poured back in the '20s. As fans coughed and waved at recurrent, engulfing smoke, a district truck from Central Fire Station fought the hard-to-reach blaze and was reinforced by a pumper from the East Avenue station. Hook and Ladder But the arrival of another truck caused one observer to wonder: "Why a hook and ladder truck to fight a fire under the stands?" It was a little too early in the season for some things such as uniforms for the Longhorn Band and a prepared half-time program, but it wasn't a bit too early for the grid fans. You may have seen Governor Beauford Jester, looking cool in spite of the heat, chatting at the half with Dudley Woodward, chairman of the University of Texas Board of Regents, in the shade of the press box.

The Governor retained his dignity- and his coat amid the almost uniformly shirt-sleeved crowd. Mrs. Jester, in a long-skirted brown ensemble, waited for him in the stands. "Horns' Woodward, talking to some Tech supporters, sent his regards to Lubbock. "You know, out there they think I have horns," he commented Tech supporters vigorously fought the recent college building amendment.

One brow-mopping Raider fan, loaded down with Tech banners, probably had that in mind when he grumbled, "Well, that's twice Texas has beat us this year." University President T. S. Painter was in the stands, but Tech (Continued on Page 2, Col. 5) Promises Fast IRa Pyle Display Huge Possibilites 30,000 See Steers Get Grand Opener In New Play Style By WELDOX HART American-Statesman Sporta Editor was for Terrific as Blair Cherry's revamped Texa Longhorns circled a big Texas Tech eleven at Memorial Stadium Saturday. 33-0.

The explosive qualities inherent in Texas' new formation were realized as tlie little, speedsters Byron Gillory and Billy Pyle shook loose for three long scoring runs. Gillory went 53 yards in the first quarter and 41 in the third on super-exhibitions of quick starting, poie-ax blocking, interference following and fancy speed afoot. Pyle'a overland trip was for 47 yards in the first period, during which Texas scored three touchdowns. Cheer All Around It was a satisfactory opener for Cheery's first Longhorn team, and a happy debut for blond Bobby Layne as a qharterback. Quashing doubts that he could pass effectively from the Layne completed five out of six attempts for 69 yards.

He called an obviously shrewd game in piloting Texas ta four of its five touchdowns, scored the first one himself on a short quarterback sneak and expertly handled the ball for the other backs. The long runs of Pyle and Gillory came off perfect quick lateral "pitchouts" from Layne and. the case of Gillory's last jaunt. Tommy Landry. 30.000 See Game Some 30,000 customers sweltered through the afternoon.

Both teams used substitutes freely, Texas employing all of the 45 able-bodied men on its varsity squad. Texas Tech was pretty obviously outmatched from the first Highlights for the Lubbock visitori were Roland "Tuffie" Nabors' great linebacking and Freddie Brown's passing that netted 45 yards. In spite of the free stream "of substitutions and the newness of the formation, the Longhorni showed good coordination and drew no penalties for offside or back-field in motion. The Texas blocking, both at closa quarters and downfield. was consistently sharp.

Sept. 20 (UP) The United States flatly denied Saturday night it was planning for aggression, accused Soviet Vice Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky of "absolute falsification of American motives" and charged Russia with using tactics which breed hate and war.

The American denial and countercharges were hurled by Warren R. Austin, permanent US delegate to the United Nations, in reply to Vishinsky's claim before the UN General Assembly last Thursday that the United States was warmongering. Austin said the United States would not be frightened by Vishinsky's accusations and would continue to believe that "peace is the purpose of all countries, both governments and people." Charges Obstruction Austin charged the Soviet Union with "obstruction of the will of the all along the line in the United Nations. The American answer to Vishinsky was delivered to the nation in a radio broadcast and later repeated by Austin when he received the United Nations Service Award from the American Association for the United Nations at a dinner in New York. Austin ripped into the white-haired former prosecutor whose assault on American foreign policy went so far as to name nine American "Warmongers," including John Foster Dulles, a member of the American delegation to this year's Assembly session.

Fact Reverse 1 Vishinsky's charges, said Austin in effect, did not scare the United States. "The speech made in the General Assembly by the deputy foreign minister of the Soviet Union, Mr. Vishinsky, probably reached its mark: namely, the people of the Soviet Union," he said. "Doubtless it frightens them into the belief that the United States (Continued on Page 2, Col. 1) US Proposes Italy for UN NEW YORK, Sept.

20. (JP) The United States proposed formally late Saturday that admission of Italy to the United Nations be reconsidered at the next meeting of the Security Council. The US request was signed by Herschel V. Johnson, deputy delegate to the Security Council, and was sent to Soviet Delegate Andrei A. Gromyko, council president for September.

Italy's application previously had been tnurned down by the 'council after Russia led an opposition group which contended no action could be taken until the peace treaties en-into force. This obstacle was removed last Monday when the Italian treaty became effective. Since then reports from Moscow have hinted Russia might be ready to vote for Italy provided the council would also recommend admission of Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria and Finland. Finland's application for membership was received earlier Saturday. The other three failed of approval in the council along with Italy last month.

Damage to New Orleans property, the area's crops and the fishing industry was counted in the tens of millions. The entire constat area was under martial law Saturday night as the storm, which earlier had blas'ed across Florida. LJw itself out harmlessly in Northeast Texas.

The estimated dead or missing list was swelled by reports, which the Red Cross said were not confirmed, of 16 dead at Waveland, five to 12 dead at Pass Chris tian, and 21 men aboard three missing fishing boats. Hal Boyle, Associated Press reporter who flew over the storm-torn area, said "damage may well run into the tens of millions of dollars a $6,000,000 estimate is given for the Biloxi shrimp canning industry alone." Toll May Mount "Residents fear also that as the Gulf waters yield up their dead the death toll will rise much higher than at first believed," Boyle said. Governor Fielding Wright of Mississippi and his adjutant general sped to the stricken area to investigate and direct law enforcement. An emergency appeal was made for doctors and nurses at Pass Christian and Bay St. Louis.

Dr. Latimer, Baptist pastor at Greenville, S. will deliver the closing centennial address on the topic "Keeping Faith" Sunday at 8 p. m. The guest preacher at the night served the First Baptist Church as pastor from 1930 to 1934, succeeding Dr.

George Green, who resigned the pastorate in 1929 after serving for more than seven years. Dr. Latimer, an attractive cultured son of the Old South, came to Austin from Georgia. During his term as pastor, the church obtained a paid staff to conduct the Sunday School and Baptist Training Union departments and organized the financial department of the church. After four years of service here, Dr.

Regents Silent On Dobie Plea Woodward Says Job Administrative By American-Statesman Capitol Staff The Board of Regents discussion, if any, of Professor J. Frank Do-bie's threat to take an unapproved leave of absence from the University of Texas this fall did not take place in open session. No mention was made of the folklorist's request for leave or its denial by President T.

S. Painter in the 77-page dockets approved by the board at its monthly meeting. Extremely critical of board policies since the dismissal of Homer P. Rainey as University president, Dobie asked for a leave for the fall semester. Leave was refused by Pres.

Painter on the basis of a new regents' rule prohibiting absences for two successive years except in unsual cases. Dobie has been on leave from his University duties as a professor of English for the past four years. Woodward Noncomittal Questioned about the controversy after the board's 45 minues open session.

To Save Soil ICR A Director By MARGARET MAYER American-Statesman Capitol Staff Realization of the LCRA program for soil conservation and reclamation will not be immediate. "I want to get the job done, but I want to do it sensibly," Max Starcke, manager of the Lower Colorado River Authority said Saturday. "I don't want people to get the idea they can get machinery tomorrow, but I want them to know we're not dilly-dallying around." The first step in the program adopted by the LCRA Board of Directors last Wednesday will be to find a director for the work. Starcke is seeking an outstanding man to direct the program.

Present efforts go no further. "For me to say we will do this or that would be presumptious. If I knew how to run a conservative program, we wouldn't need a man," he observed. The same reasoning was applied They talked of what a showman he was, even outstripping dapper Jimmy Walker in pyrotechnics, if not in glamor. They recalled his pungent tirades, in his high-pitched voice, against corrupt Tammany politicians, professional gamblers, and racketeers.

He drove them all out of the city government in 1934 when he crushingly defeated Tammany Hall and was elected mayor for the first of his three terms. Day of Mourning Mayor William O'Dwyer, who earlier thjs week had asked the people to pray for him, issued a proclamation setting Monday as a day of mourning and ordering flags on all public buildings flown at half staff for 30 days. LaGuardia once was described by the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt as the most honest mayor New York ever had. An efficient, intelligent administrator and ardent exponent of the right of the little man to a better deal, LaGuardia was respected everywhere as a fighter and beloved by the people who thrice elected him mayor of the city.

Born In 1882 His 180 pounds, so compactly lodged on a five-foot, two-inch frame that he seemed as wide as he was high; his mobjle features and high pitched voice; his penchant for chasing fire engines and his hilariously histrionic rendition of the Sunday comic strips for radio and newsreel audiences made him one of the best known figures in American public life. LaGuardia was born Dec. 11. 1882, on New York's Lower East Side. His father was an Italian immigrant and his mother a Hungarian Jewess.

the board of trustees not continue indefinitely to serve for less than state minimum salary schedules. Miss Jo llestand. president of the Classroom Teachers Association, said after leaving a closed session of teachers which followed an open meeting with the board that there would be no further anouncement from the teachers before Wednesday. Big Spring minimum base pay is $1,850 per annum as compared with $2,007 required by the state for starting degree teachers. Sept.

9, voters defeated by 399 to 398 a proposal to authorize raising of the tax rate from $1 to $1.50. On invitation, the trustees met with approximately 100 teachers here Saturday when Miss Hestand, acting as spokesman, told them that the teachers had decided to take action, which she said might be drastic.

Robert Hay Taliaferro, who 100 years ago established the church with a congregation of less than a dozen devoted Baptists and served the church as its first pastor.

The spiritual descendants of that pioneer pastor Sunday at 3:30 p. m. will gather at his grave in Oak-wood Cemetery where they will hear a memorial address delivered by Dr. Leon M. Latimer, a former pastor of the church.

Dr. C. A. Wilson also is scheduled to speak at this service. This memorial ceremony is the highlight closing feature of the centennial observance of the First Baptist Church, Earlier at 11 a.

Directors last week declared their intention of conducting a soil conservation program. They did not designate how much will be spent on salaries, machinery or the work as a whole. "They want to do a well-rounded job and spend what they can," Starcke stated. "There is no desire to delay, but in our enthusiasm we don't want to do something to destroy the program." Coordination and planning of work to be done in local communities will be available within a short time, the manager said. Equipment may not be available until sometime later, he added.

While the program is in its initial stages, Starcke visualized "the greatest thing ever done." He described it as a wholesome, constructive, far-reaching program that will mean a lot not only now but in years to come. As a financial investment, the manager views the conservation program as "solid, safe and sound-not only for the people but for the LCRA. "If you get your country healthy and financially productive, ycu make out of the producer a better consumer," he reasoned. A more prosperous farmer would require more electricity for milking machines, feed grinders, appliances for the home, deep freezers, water pumps, arc welders. Starcke mentioned as a few of the items on which the LCRA would realize a return.

The benefits, he pointed out, would also extend into the urban areas in increased purchases. Most important, he believed, would be the accomplishment of making "a happier people." The LCRA will do as much good as is within the range of possibility, Starcke declared. It naturally will not be able to reach from one end of the state to the (Continued on Page 16, CoL 2 26 of 28 Who Bailed Out Over Luzon Safe MANILA, (Sunday), Sept. 21.
