That Congress close what the termed a tax law The first annual homecoming of former residents of Angus Sunday at the Angus Community Center was a gala occasion and one that drew a capacity crowd of more than five hundred people. Mr.

and Mrs. Tom Ware served as general chairmen, and Fred Ware of Corsicana was master of ceremonies. The program, which was planned by Mr Mrs. Allen Edens. was presented in the assembly room of the Community Center which was gaily adorned with flowers of every hue.

Tom Pritchard of Angus offered the opening prayer and H. Metcalf of Corsicana led the group in singing We Gather At The River?" and "Where He Leads Me, I Will with Mrs. Tom Pritchard at the piano. Words of welcome were extended in a most cordial and heartfelt manner by D. C.

Bray of Angus and the response was given by J. D. Youngblood of Cayuga, a former teacher at the Angus school. Spiritual Message The Rev. Leslie Seymour, former resident of Angus, who is now Methodist superintendent of the Cisco district, brought a timely and inspirational spiritual message, using Isaiah 40:31 as Biblical background.

He emphasized the fact Hornbeak when she taught at Angus in 1900.

Meanwhile, Ross continued to take expense reports for state races as they came to the secretary of office. He said the record would show when they were mailed and when received and turned over to the Democratic Executive Committee for whatever action jthey wished to take.

He said that was his only power in the matter. The new law provides specifically: candidate failing to file, such sworn statements at the time provided or swearing faftely therein shall forfeit his right to have his name placed upon the ballot at any subsequent primary, special or general Punishment Provided It also says that, upon conviction, he shall be subject to fine not less than $100 nor more than $5,000 and-or imprisonment for not less than one year nor more than five years. He would also be liable to each of his opponents for double the amount or value of any unreported gifts, loans, payments or debts incurred. In Dallas, Wailace Savage, chairman of the County Democratic Executive Committee, warned local candidates for county, district and state offices to file immediately reports of campaign expenses under penalty of having their name left off the July primary ballot. Pointing out that the law was new, Savage said he think "any harm would be if can- viet zone are forerunners of more serious trouble they plan to make, authorities here believe thev might logically want to keep as much force as possible tied up in Korea.

Until a short time ago Russian strategy seemed to be directed to- ward disrupting allied plans for i Germany with a peace offensive as their major weapon. At that! time the advantages which they I might have won from a Communist-United Nations truce in Korea! were rated high. For an end to; the fighting would immediately i have brought to the fore the Far Eastern political problems which pose controversial issues among the western powers. Threats Repeated Reports from Wednesday's truce session in Korea quoted North Ko-I rean General Nam II as renewing; charges that Communist prisoners i had been mistreated in UN camps and declaring that the Korean and Chinese Red armies shall not sit idle while their fellow combatants are being wantonly In ILondon Prime Minister Churchill told parliament that the situation in Korea was grave" and Defense Minister Lora Alexander said that the Reds now have a force of almost a million men as compared with about half that many last July. Churchill said American generals commanding the UN force they are capable of holding a violent offensive which may be made against them on the breakdown of the peace His estimate, of the dangers of the situation, as well as his report Of the belief that a major attack i can be successfully met, are in1 line with estimates privately made by authorities here.

Burleson (D-Tex), a member of the house foreign affairs committee, agreed with views and expressed concern over the effect on American negotiations of treatis with various foreign countries of federal eeizure CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE ed by the West to protect and defend its residents from Communist attack. He told the West Berlin City Parliament that "we shall not be by Communist threats over the signing of the peace contract with West Germany at Bonn and the European Defense Treaty in Paris. Today the East zone Communist government rerouted all telephone calls between Soviet zone and West Germany, permitting them to tap lines at will. To Listening Post West German post officials disclosed all lines connecting the east and west zones now are being trunked through Leipzig, where the Red regime maintains a huge police listening post. West Berlin, however, still has five trunk lines to west Germany which do not go through Leipzig, but engineers said the east could shift them.

Nineteen trunk lines from Berlin to the west were cut this week by the Reds. Use Scramblers Allied telephone traffic to and from Berlin wajs not affected. The allies tise a radio telephone regarded as secure from censorship. The conversations are at one end and reassembled at the other by special machines. The tinkering with the telephones was another step in the Soviet announced campaign to insure its own sovereignty now that west Germany is lined up firmly with the western allies.

The Russians continued today to bar allied military police patrols from cruising along the 110-mile stretch of superhighway between west Berlin and the west German frontier. Civilian traffic, both allied and German, flowed freely, but at a reduced pace. West Germans cancelled pentecost vacation plans because of the new Soviet zone order requiring special transit visas after June 1. The east has not yet said how these permits are to be obtained. RESIGNATIONS CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE under the McGranery regime will be a new chief of the tax division.

That division has been headed by an acting chief since the president fired T. Lamar Caudle last November during an investigation of Internal Revenue Bureau scandals McGranery, in his first meeting with reporters, did not indicate what changes, if any, he had in mind. He said, however, that he would make whatever changes circumstances warranted. One of McGranery's first acts was to call for reports from all division heads the entire within each division, with specfic recommendations on all spending cases. These reports possibly could provide a basis for McGranery to rate the efficiency of his division chiefs.
