e Industrial Economics Research
ivision of the Texas Engineering
speriment Station at A&M. The
fly published report is titled “A
lady of Statewide Industrial Fi-
ince Programs Operating in the
iiith and Southwest During 1960.”
The research study reflects a
Icognition in many states of the
ted for increased industrial de-
■lopment and a higher standard
living. Though all current state
idustrial development activities
re not considered, four financing
tograms are analyzed in detail,
hese are the state-supported in-
Jstrial financing authority; the
lasi-public development credit
operation; enabling legislation
at allows municipal and county
ivernments to finance industrial
ivelopment through local bond
sues, and the granting of tax
remptions or concessions in one
p or another.
Texas joins Florida and Missouri
having no industrial financing
ogram either operative or pend-
g. In the other fourteen states
the study area — Alabama, Ar
ms, Georgia,. Kentucky, Louis-
na, Maryland, Mississippi, New
fevico, North Carolina, Oklahoma,
huth Carolina, Tennessee, Virgin-
1, and West Virginia—some form
! financing ’is provided.
Typical of the programs, ac-
itding to the research report, is
te Kentucky Industrial Develop-
ient Finance Authority, which
say loan up to 30 per cent of the
stal cost of construction on in-
hstrial buildings to local indus-
rial development corporations.
The North Carolina Business De-
elopment Corporation is a pioneer
f the privately owned and finan-
ed state development credit cor-
otation. This program has the
uasi-public responsibility of fos-
fting state economic development
md is actively encouraged by the
bartering states.
Six states surveyed authorize
Hunicipalities and counties to is-
M bonds to finance the purchase
sites and the construction of
ilants for lease or sale to indus-
dal concerns. An example cited
the report is the Mississippi
lalance Agriculture with Industry
J ian which permits political sub-
kisions to own and to lease plants
«manufacturing concerns.
The research findings show that
ix of the states studied allow tax
semptions or concessions at the
fete level, and seven states allow
«al exemption or concessions,
'our of the states permit the prac-
ke at both the state and local
evels.

Tornados Hit State
By The Associated Press
A small tornado cloud ripped a
neighborhood in North Dallas
County Tuesday, near Dallas’ city
limits, and injured four persons,
three seriously.
Funnel clouds were also report
ed at McGregor, in McLennan
County, and near Clifton, in Bas
que County in Central Texas.
Tornadoes spun as a wide sec

French Reopen
Algerian
Peace Talks
By The Associated Press
PARIS—President Charles de
Gaulle reopened the door to peace
talks with the Algerian nationalist
rebels Tuesday. He offered aid
to a future Algeria associated with
France and threatened reprisals
should the North African territory
go it alone.
In a statement on Algerian pol
icy to a crowded news conference,
the President said colonies were
(outmoded and too costly in the
present world and spoke of a pos
sible accord with the rebel regime.
He offered French economic,
technical and financial aid to the
future Algeria if its nine million
Algerians choose a combination of
full sovereignty in association with
France on the model of Senegal.
In return, he said, France would
want some military and naval
bases in Algeria and guarantees
for the one million Europeans in
Algeria.
Should Algeria choose a com
plete rupture with France he
threatened to expel 400,000 Alger
ians working in France.
miles southeast of Shreveport, La.,
went under alert, until 11 p.m.
The latest alert area included
a section bounded by Jefferson,
Mineola, Waxahachie, Bryan and
Jasper. The Fort Worth-Dallas
area was not included.
First news of the Dallas County
tornado sent scores of officers and
emergency units speeding to the
area, in the vicinity of some of
Texas’ heaviest population.
Injured seriously were: Aubrey
Crawford, 45, his wife and their
infant son. They were taken to a
Dallas hospital. Less seriously in
jured and not hospitalized was
Mrs. Velma Grisson, who received
a cut arm as she scampered for
the safety of a storm cellar.
Crawford’s gas station on old
U. S. 75 was blown across the
highway and scattered over a 100-
acre area, Nothing remained of
the station except two twisted
gasoline pumps. The Crawford
family was in their adjacent trail
er home when the funnel cloud
struck out of a blackening sky.
Park Grisson, 54, husband of the
injured Mrs. Grisson, said both
he and his wife rushed for the
storm cellar. His three-car garage
was scattered over a near-by wheat
field and his home was badly dam
aged. Chunks of twisted metal
from the Crawford gas station
hung from trees and damaged
roof of the Grisson home.
“I went to the storm cellar when
I saw that durn thing coming,”
Mrs. Grisson said. “I saw it com
ing ... I though it couldn’t be a
cyclone. . . Then I heard the roar
and said, ‘Oh, God, if I can just
beat it to the storm cellar’. Thank
the Lord I made it.”
Winds gusted up to nearly 60
miles an hour at San Angelo early
in the afternoon.
A blustering rain shower hit
Odessa just before noon while 50
mile winds were churning up dust
in that Southwest Texas area. The
brown grime cut visibility to one
mile during the short storm.
El Paso to the west had 45 mile
winds at the time.
The wind damaged several large
signs at Odessa and caused a num
ber of accidents. One gust toppled
a truck, which a car promptly hit.
No one was hurt.
The second major dust storm in
less than a week blew at Big
Spring, 59 miles northeast of
Odessa. Winds also hit 50 miles
an hour there and motorists used
their headlights in the choking
dust.
Behind the storms; the skies
were clearing and temperatures
were due to drop in the cold north
erly winds.
Light rain fell in South Central
and Southeast Texas.
Smair* craft warnings went up
all along the Texas Gulf Coast
late Tuesday afternoon. The
weather bureau expected southerly
winds of from 15 to 25 knots to
shift to the northwest 20 to 30
knots Tuesday night.
