Several Prospects Wallace Hall, a former deputy assessor, now in private business offered at the last board meeting to conduct the survey using property data cards already in the school district files.

However, the USDA cautioned that the drying winds, high temperatures and the demands growing crops sapped moisture at a rapid rate, and additional rain will be needed to maintain the good prospects. Most counties in the Southern Plains, as well as parts of the Upper Coastal country, were in need of moisture. In contrast, heavy rains pelted the Panhandle just as soils dried sufficiently for field work to be resumed, the USDA's weekly crop and weather bulletin said.

Cotton prospects remained "good throughout the state." the USDA said. The sorghum harvest neared completion in the Lower Valley, and passed the three-quarter mark in the Coastal Bend. Picking of "one of the best peach crops" in years neared its peak. Rice ranged from boot to full head. Cantaloups, onions, potatoes and watermelons were available in volume and the harvest was ac- ivc.

The watermelon harvest was completed over most of South Texas, but were available in volume over central and East Tex- s.

Labor Department experts said the rise was so "tiny" and "fractional" that living costs were practically at a standstill. Clague said: "We came about as close to having zero change than we ever do and still have a change." He hailed the June yardstick as showing a "very great balance and stability" at work in the economy. The department's Bureau of Labor Statistics also announced that the take-home pay of the average factory worker reached a recorc high last month.

Lebanese Cities Are Blanketed By Flight Of Planes BEIRUT, Lebanon (UPI) United States planes operating from 6th Fleet carriers and air bases in Turkey staged an impressive show of strength over all major Lebanese cities today in a "salute to the people of Lebanon." It was a clear demonstration of U.S. aerial might in a divided country made anxious by the postponement of Lebanon's parliamentary elections and by ft fiery speech in Cairo Tuesday night by United Arab Republic President Gamal Abdel Nasser. The demonstrations by American lorces committed to uphold stable government in this tiny Arab included supersonic fighters and big bombers capable of carrying atomic bombs.

"Iraqi oil, dates, wool and cereals find their market in the West." He said he did not see how Iraqis could turn to the East economically "even if they wantet to."
