Page 6 THE BATTALION Thursday, March 8, 1951 Civil Defense Fund Asked by Shivers Austin, March 8 —(A*)— Gov. Shivers asked yesterday for a $2 million emergency civil defense to back a “full-scale war plan” for Texas. He said a bill giving the author ity needed to cope with “emergent situations” will be submitted soon. The governor’s request for a $2 million disaster fund, plus $100,000 for the state’s civil defense sys tem, was made to the House Ap propriations Committee. He read a telegram from Federal Civil Defense Administrator Mil lard Caldwell urging that Texas “provide at this legislative ses sion adequate state appropriations for civil defense including funds for administration for matching federal grants in-aid and for un usual contingencies.” Texas Needs A Plan “Texas needs a full-scale war plan that ought to be ready to go into action like that,” said Shivers, snapping his fingers. A House - approved resolution asking Congress to provide an ade quate air defense system for Texas’ defense industries and resources— particularly in the highly indus trialized coastal area—was adopt ed by the Senate. Rep. J. F. Gray made progress with his anti-dam bill. The House voted final passage of his measure to prevent erection of a Nueces River dam which would flood his home town of Three Rivers. The 66-48 vote sent the bill to the Senate over the strenuous pro test of Reps, Gabe Garrett of Cor pus Christi and John Barnhart of Beeville, who want the dam to in crease their cities’ water supplies. Also approved and forwarded to the Senate was Rep. Bill Daniel’s bill authorizing state office and state courts buildings on opposite corners of Congress Avenue direct ly south of the Capitol. The cost would be $6,000,000, to be paid off by making state agencies pay rent to the state. Rep. Lynn Shaw of Moody vain ly asked delay of the measure pending committee action on a conflicting bill which would author ize sale to the First Baptist Church of Austin of the half block on which Daniel wants to locate the state office building. Another bill to abolish the board for state hospitals and special schools was introduced. Senator Ottis Lock of Lufkin proposed re placement of the nine-member board by a three-member board. Maj. Caldwell Gets Active Duty Call Major Robert Caldwell received his orders to report for active duty today.

C. A. ROEBER Auditor Regiment --- (Continued from Page 2) regiment and an armored unit guard the Urumchi-Kucha road, “presumably to prevent Nationalist guerrillas from infiltrating into Illi, Chowchak, and Altai.” Isa, president of the Chinese Turkestan Union, said the entire political, economic and cultural life of Sinkiang rests in Russian hands. “Advisers” sent into the province by the USSR control the govern ment departments of education, po lice, judiciary criminal intelligence, commerce, and industry. “Many schools, colleges, towns, villages, roads and streets, have been given Russian names to make heroes of the Russian lead ers,” he said. “The Russian language is grad ually replacing the Chinese, even the text books prescribed in var ious educational institutions are imported from the Soviet Union. To crown all, the people of Chinese Turkestan are being secretly en couraged to show themselves as Russian subjects.” Isa went on to say that Soviet Communist agents were trying se cretly to remove the bulk of Chi nese troops from the province and “skillfully preparing the local pop ulation for making such a demand openly.” Russian officers on the borders regulate the entry of Chinese travelers into Sinkiang and con trol all transport facilities, he declared. Isa termed the Russian consuls in Illi and Urumchi and the presi dent of the Russian Chinese Turk estan association “the de facto rul ers of Sinkiang.” “A formal declaration alone is left to be made by the Soviet Union to give this coup a final touch,” he said.
