Citrus Grower
Lashes Out At
State Ag Chief
DALLAS, (TP) — Growers
and shippers of the state’s
multi-million dollar citrus and
vegetable industry lashed out
again yesterday at Agricul
ture Commissioner John White.
Lyman O’Keefe, retiring presi
dent of the Texas Citrus and Vege
table Growers and Shippers Assn.,
said he refused a request by White
to retract a previous charge that
the agriculture commissioner is
the chief obstacle to setting up a
grading and inspection system.
Members attending he associa
tion’s 15th annual convention rose
to their feet to applaud O’Keefe
in his second blast at White. He
first criticized White publicly at
a luncheon Monday as the group
began its three-day convention.
O’Keefe said growers and ship
pers’ pocketbooks would be fatten
ed by a grading and inspection
system that puts a premium on
the best products .
O’Keefe quoted from a telegram
from White in which the agricul
ture commissioner said he was in
favor of such a system but a rep
resentative of the group had said
the growers and shippers didn’t
want it.
“I refuse to retract or change
my statement,” O’Keefe said.
Austin Anson of Harlingen said
that growers and shippers were
doing fine in selling outside the
state under an old inspection and
grading system until White was
elected agriculture commissioner
and the system stopped.

settlement.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., </P>—
Secretary of State Dulles put the
finishing touches yesterday on his
major policy address outlining
to the United Nations the U.S.
position on critical East West is
sues.
While the U.N. Assembly pre-
pai'ed to come to grips once more
with the question of admitting Red
China and additional controversial
issues, Dulles met with represen
tatives of other Western Nations.
He conferred with the foreign
ministers of Canada and Austra
lia, presumably to fill them in on
the speech he delivered to the
Assembly this morning.
India has asked that Red China’s
membership be made a subject for
Assembly consideration. Britain
and a number of other nations have
said they will support the U. S.
request to postpone discussion for
another year. The United States
is confident it will succeed, as it
has in the past in keeping the U. N.
door closed to the Chinese Com
munists.
Dulles invited heads of the vari
ous U. N. delegations to a recep
tion last night at the Waldorf Ho
tel.
Munro had set the opening of the
general policy debate for 10:00
a. m. today.

Remaining events in Howdy
Week at TCU were cancelled yes
terday because of the continued
spread of the illness.
At Houston, the city health of
ficer Fred K. Laurentz, said a
severe outbreak is inevitable.
“I expect we’ll be hit heavily,”
he said. “it’s possible we will
have an epidemic.”
Other outbreaks of the flu were
reported at Laredo, Beaumont,
Austin, Port Arthur, Jasper and
Conroe. Many students were ab
sent also at Angleton, Trinity and
San Diego.
The State Health Department
said the Duval County health of
ficer had reported 100 cases of
flu in San Diego.
Conroe officials reported 300 stu
dents absent, Beaumont had 64 and
two Negro schools in the Angleton
area were closed after 122 of their
523 students became ill.
At Laredo, the city county health
officer, Dr. F. A. Musacchio, re
ported 433 cases in Webb County
Wednesday. He said he did not
think the illnesses were Asian flu.
Some 180 students remained at
home at Lufkin because of the
flu.
Authorities at Lufkin said they
doubted if it was the Asian variety,
although it had not been definitely
determined.
Several members of the Lufkin
football team did not practice Tues
day because of the illness, but
most of the players returned to
the classrooms Wednesday.
The Dallas County jail has had
an outbreak of 40 flu cases in the
last few days, but Dr. J. M. Prick-
ard, county health officer, said he
doubted that it was the Asian vari
ety.
Sheriff Bill Decker said 28 ailing
prisoners were in the jail’s isola
tion ward. Total jail population is
64G.
In England, Asian flu was
blamed last night for the deaths of
15 adults and 4 children in the
Midlands and north England. Hun
dreds of thousands of Britons were
stricken in the spreading epidemic
and confined to bed.
Some industries were crippled
by absence of manpower, schools
were closed and hospitals were
sorely over burdened.
. No total casualty figures wei'e
compiled by health authorities but
towns and cities in the affected
areas reported influenza victims
running into tens of thousands at
different places. Schools that
stayed *open were operating with
from 20 to 50 per cent absent.

16tli Prison Rodeo
in Oct. 6
Convict riders, with long prison
sentences, throw caution to the
winds in vying for the prize money
stakes awarded to the dexterous
or “lucky” winners in the 26th Am-
nual Texas Prison Rodeo beginning
Oct. 0 at Huntsville.
Riders like O’Neal Browning,
Vernon Abbott, Gail Hall, Walter
Henderson, Ernest Sheppard, Her
man Sigler, Dwight Hoskins, and
many others are quite familiar to
the enthusiastic rodeo fans who
throng to this gala event each
year. Many new faces will also
deck the arena this year who are
equally determined that the 26th
birthday of this annual event will
be the best yet.
Opening event is the mad scram
ble, a contest where 10 wild Brah
man bulls and their convict riders
are spewed out of the chutes si
multaneously amid the popping
of firecrackers, creating bedlam
and confusion of thrills and spills
as only daring cowboys and sav
age rodeo stock could provide. This
act is not known to be shown at
any other rodeo in the world, as
the dangers that lurk for the rid
ers in this event are extremely
high.
Other acts feature trick riding
and trained horses. One is an act
consisting of dancing horses. Glenn
Randall will perform with his Roy
Rogers Liberty Act of eight train
ed palominos. Trick riders Ted
and Betty Lamb, and Miss Virginia
Robison are also to perform.
Reserved seat tickets are now
on sale, and can be obtained by
writing Rodeo Ticket Office,
Huntsville, Texas. The price for
individual tickets are $2.40, $3.75
and $4.40 each, tax included.
