Cruce was interviewed yesterday by the commission, but nothing definite was decided. "There are several things to be cleared up before we come to an agreement," mayor added, "and we won't know about them until later this week." He strongly hinted that the time element Involved with Cruce's leaving Austin for Pampa, was a factor in the negotiations. "Negotiations have not been broken off with Cruce, or with anyone else.

The job is still wide open," the mayor emphasized. Cruce's ability, history and background have been under intensive investigation since his application was first received a few days after former City Manager Dick Bep'iri left Pampa to become city manager of Odessa.

President Truman declared Saturday that the United States is maintaining air supremacy ovei most of Korea and "can bomb the enemy at will, almost anywhere in his territory." In an obvious retort to criticism by Republican presidential candidate Robert A. Taft of administration air policy, the President told the annual reunion of the 85th Division that talk that our forces "are at the mercy" of the Russian-made enemy air force "isn't true at all." And he took a shot at those in Congress who have forced a reduction from around 51 billion to 46 billion in his military rec ommendations and heavy cuts in his foreign military and economic aid program. "There is no justification foi slashing appropriations for defense or for aid to our allies," he said But that is exactly what a goup of short-sighted politicians are trying to do.
