Given his wings a couple of years ago before as he served his country as an army air forces combat pilot, R. E. "Peppy" Blount used them again here Saturday afternoon to lift the University of Texas Longhorns from apparent defeat as Dana Bible's boys rallied to score a hair-raising 12-7 triumph over the Southern Methodist university Mustangs.

Rushed in for one play as the clock beat away those precious seconds in the final quarter, Blount soared high down on the Mustang goal line to take a 33-yard pass from Bobby Layne for a touchdown that gave the Longhorns their most spectacular triumph since Cowboy Jack Crain beat the University of Arkansas in the final seconds back in 1939. Keep Fans Gasping The attempt at conversion; failed, but it mattered little, for that touchdown was the ball game. It was the second touchdown pass tossed by Layne in a stirring fourth quarter that kept the full house of 23,000 fans gasping for breath all the way. The Mustangs, the better ball team for three quarters, fought back desperately in the final two would hamper attempts by slender nationalist forces there to join up with fresh nationalist troops now pouring in by air to the Peiping-Tientsin zone. Despite these reported successes, communist sources here expressed fears that the government was about to strike with a heavy offensive to crush the reds and declared 800,000 nationalist troops been massed in northern and east-central China.

A communist spokesman declared without confirmation elsewhere that fighting had spread to Manchuria, now being evacuated by Russian occupation forces. K. C. Wu, Chungking minister of information, announced the new peace plan earlier in the day and said a reply was being awaited from the communist stronghold in Yenan. 1 srm tm.iu Wotta man is 3-year-old Joel Gaine, who displays his figure, above, at Miami Beach, Fla.

3. (UP) A Filipino collaborator testified Saturday that Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita ordered the destruction of Manila and massacre of its inhabitants as part of the "overall Japanese strategy" when American liberation forces began approaching the city. "I am sorry, but the order already has been given. War is war," Yamashita was quoted as telling a leading Filipino Quisling who twice pleaded tearfully with the bullet-headed war lord to spare the city.

Order For All Filipinos That testimony, the most damaging yet in the six-day-old trial of the man charged with personal responsibility for the bestial acts of his men during a final reign of terror in Manila last February, came after other witnesses had testified that: 1. Yamashita sent a letter of commendation to his Manila garrison for suppressing "guerrilla activities." 2. Yamashita's headquarters issued an order that all Filipinos were to be killed. Saturday's testimony was marked by several explosive outbursts. One pretty young girl witness started from the stand toward Yamashita, shouting, "You ought not to be hung you ought to be cut in small pieces and fed to the dogs." A man, asked to show a terrible saber wound on his back, ripped down his collar, swung around so the -wound faced Yamashita, and shouted: "You be the first to see this scar!" Throughout the proceedings Yamashita sat with a sickly' grin on his face.

Several times he took off his horn-rimmed glasses and gazed intently at the witnesses. 'Famed for Sanguinary Acts The star witness was a man who identified himself only as "Laupz," private secretary to Gen. Ricarte, a revolutionary leader whom the Japanese considered their No. 1 Filipino collaborator. Lapuz said that Ricarte, who, he said, died in northern Luzon last August, "didn't like Yamashita coming to the Philippines." Yam- (Continued on Page 11, Col.

6) Police Suppress Cairo Outbreak CAIRO, Nov. 3. MP) Swinging police quickly suppressed a new outburst of anti-Zionist rioting Saturday when rampaging mobs for the second day stoned business establishments and smashed shop windows in downtown Cairo. The riots, which killed nine persons and injured 520 in Cairo and Alexandria, were strongly denounced by Premier Nokrashi Pasha as inspired by "evil hands." He promised "justice will take its full course with the criminals." Most of Cairo had returned to near-normal this afternoon. In Cairo's Malika Farida square, the center of Friday's heaviest rioting, all Jewish shops remained closed.

In Alexandria's shopping center not one pane of glass remained intact. Communications were at a complete standstill. Cafes and cinemas remained closed.

These same reports said the vital railway city of Tatung to the southwest also was overrun by the communists.

Lee optimistically declared Seize He listed these four points: 1. Both sides should order their troops to "stay put" and halt all attacks. 2. The communists should withdraw 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) from the railroads. The government then would agree not to send troops to points abandoned or exposed to communist raids and would use railway police to guard the lines.

3. The government would consult communists before moving any troops along the railroads. This conformed with a communist request but skipped the question of moving government troops by sea and air. 4. The peoples' political council should appoint a supervisory commission to investigate conditions aiong the railroads and repprt any violation by either side.

MP) A long-secret survey of army-navy opinion on the proposed service merger showed "almost exactly half" of the navy officers interviewed favoring the single department, it was disclosed Saturday. In the 10 months since completion of the study directed by the joint chiefs of staff, navy opposition to the proposal has solidified. The report was supplied by Pres.

Truman to the senate military affairs committee. It included an endorsement of the one department by Adm. Chester W. Nimitz, made at Pearl Harbor Dec. 8, 194T4.

Richardson. "Much difference of opinion was expressed as to the fjrm it should take." Japs' Foreign Deals Restricted TOKYO. Nov. 3. (INS) Supreme allied headquarters Saturday took control over all Japanese dealings with foreign companies.

Court System For Domestic Relations Urged Texas Judges Meet Studies Methods For Child Protection By American-Statesman Capitol Staff Texas trial judges took serious note Saturday of their responsibility in child protective procedure, with a number of them favoring a system of domestic relations courts manned by judges specially qualified for their work.

Chief Justice James P. Alexander of the supreme court endorsed the suggestion. He also emphasized that enough district courts must be maintained in Texas to look after the children, and reminded that justice is not necessarily served in "mass production." "There is a campaign to abolish some of the courts, and to estimate a court's value by the number of cases it handles," he reminded. "If we abolish all the courts contemplated, we still will not have saved the taxpayer the price of a good postage stamp." Judge figured the per capita saving at two cents. Almost every man who spoke in the discussion led by Judge J.

Harris Gardner was distressed over the fact that divorce and child custody cases are frequently heard during a lull in some other proceeding of major importance.

Howard McKcnzie, NMU vice president, said in Houston that the strike would be called Dec.

The inspired Steers took over on downs there with only 30 seconds of play remaining and froze the ball to use up the few remaining seconds.

Layne Stands Out In the end it was Layne who emerged as the game's outstanding star, his last quarter performance giving him the edge over his old high school teammate, Doak Walker, who entered SMU this week after a stint in the merchant marine. Layne sparked the Steers to two touchdowns in the final quarter with brilliant passing and running. It appeared that Walker would be responsible for a second straight upset of the highly-regarded Steers.

The footprints, 10 feet apart on the side of a steep hill, constituted the first possible new clue in the far-flung boy-hunt since Dickie's red mitten was found a mile and a half in the opposite direction. It was not possible immedately to deterrnne definitely whether the prints were Dickie's. But searcher, pointed out that if they were his, their discovery strengthened the theory that the child was lost and not kidnapped.

Dickie's distraught mother, the prominent Sally Merritt Turn Suden, walked part way up the hill then turned back. 0 "I know they'll find him I know they will," she said. She had not abandoned hope that her only son had survived three days and two nights in, the chill mountain weather. In speaking to friends, she always used the term when they find him." While 115 and scores of Downieville residents continued the widespread hunt through the third day, Sierra county authorities and members of the family discounted suggestions from many sources that the boy might have been kidnapped.
