Brazilians Quiet
On Election Day
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, Oct. 4—
DP)—Long lines of Brazilians voted
in comparative calm but under the
watchful eyes of soldiers and police
yesterday on whether to restore
ex-dictator Getulio Vargas to the
presidency.
A news agency report from Ma-
ceio, capital of Alagoas State, said
four persons were killed and sev
eral wounded at Mata Grande in a
street clash—the only major vio
lence reported anywhere.
Vargas, 67-year-old originator of
the fascist-like “new state”, who
is attempting to hit the comeback
trail as the candidate of his labor
party (PTB), had difficulties in
casting his own vote at Saoborja.
He lost his voter’s registration
card but was reported to have
unwound red tape in time to cast
his ballot.

Bryan.
After a two weeks wedding trip,
the couple will make their home in
Austin.
Peace Compromise
Asked by Indians
Lake Success, Oct. 4—OP)—India
called on the United Nations today
to find a compromise peace plan
for Korea but Australia, Canada
and the Philippines flatly rejected
a Soviet bloc program.
Australia, one of the eight na
tions sponsoring a Korea unifica
tion plan, told the general assem
bly’s political committee that U, N.
military forces have to smash
North Korean resistance and oc
cupy all Korea to pave the way
for peace and unity.
Canada and the Philippines
agreed with this, and Canada’s Les
ter B.! Pearson pointed out that
Russia’s Andrei Vishinsky had re
jected: a compromise in advance."
Sir Benegal N. Rau, chief In
dian delegate, said his country can
not support either plan in its pres
ent form. But he opposed Russian
demands that “foreign troops” quit
Korea immediately. “That would
leave the South Koreans at the
mercy of the North Koreans,” Rau
said.

Conscientious
Canine Can l
Stop Working
Compton, Calif.—DP)—To Sandy,
a tan mongrel dog, duty is duty
regardless of what city he’s in.
For two years the pooch has
been the mascot of the East Cowip-
ton postal station. He reports daily
at 6 a. m. for breakfast and then
joins one of the carriers or a truck-
driver on his rounds.
When a coupfe of postmen drove
north on a hunting trip, they took
Sandy along, thinking he’d enjoy
the vacation. In Bakersfield, 200
miles away, the dog disappeared.
They had to return without him.
There was gloom at the local
station house—until somebody had
a hunch. A call to the Bakersfield
post office got this reply: “Sure,
he’s here. He’s been making the
rounds with one of our carriers
for several days.”
Even Postmaster Clark Wallace
was on hand for Sandy’s homecom
ing. And the conscientious canine
was back on his old beat.

Red Atrocity Camp
Found in Korea
South Korean Army Headquar
ters, Oct. 4—UP)—A Korean Red
murder camp where 700 Korean civ
ilians including children were exe
cuted has been discovered near
Seoul, an American Army officer
reported today.
The officer said that Commun
ists burned, shot and bayoneted the
prisoners before fleeing.
The “Red Buchenwald” was lo
cated at Yanglong, 36 miles east of
Seoul.
It was reported to South Korean
Army Headquarters by Col. Fran
cis E. Gillette, Cincinnati. Col. Gil
lette is an adviser to the Repub
lic of Korea Second Corps.
transit pipe engineer for the Johns-
Manville Sales Corporation.
Completion of the $8,000 project
will place a fire plug within 500
feet of every house in the College
Hills-Woodland area, Rodgers said.
Some of the old water service
lines in the area will be tied into
the new water line and thereby
greatly increase the water pressure
in the area.
C. L. Andrews was awarded the
contract to lay the new sewer lines.
The 2,200 feet of sewer will take
the old sewer out of the creek that
runs along the side of the area and
extends out of the city limits.
New Bridge Planned
Andrews is laying the five inch
line for $3,600.
In addition to the water and
sewer lines the city is going to
start work on a new bridge for
Francis Street immediately.
The new bridge will cost the
city an additional $1,200. This, with
the inclusion of the $500 bridge
built on Gilchrist Street last fall,
will bring the total amount spent 1
by the City in the College Hills,
Woodland area to almost $13,000.
Although the Woodland Addition
was annexed to the City last June,-
it was not officially put on the
tax rolls until January 1. The City 1
will have spent the $13,000 before
any tax money has been received
from the area.

on’t think our neat-pleated friend with the drape-
shape doesn’t know the score! He’s plenty hep to
all those tricky cigarette tests! If you’re in the groove,
they’re not fooling you, either. You know, from your own
smoking experience, that just one puff of this brand
... then one puff of that brand isn’t going to give you
the answer you want. What can you possibly tell by
a quick inhale and exhale, a whiff or a sniff?
The sensible test — the one that gives you the proper
answer — is a day after day, pack-after-pack tryout
for 30 days. It’s the Camel 30-Day Mildness Test!
You judge Camels for 30 days in your own “T-Zone”
(T for Throat, T for Taste) — the real proving
ground for a cigarette. Once you’ve tested Camels
as a steady smoke, you’ll know why ...
More People Smoke Camels
