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.
Major Caldwell, a former student
here, helped instruct in Air Force
Administration during the school
year of 1950. He was assigned to
Maintenance and Supply Group,
Randolph Air Force Base, report
ing on the 9th of March 1951.

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.
