Bradley of 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. tl SECTION (Continued from Page 1) la runoff for president. “Butch” Johnson and George W. kynolds in a runoff for vice resident.

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 tion of the Southwest was under tornado alert, effective until 8:00 p.m. Later, the thunderstorms moved eastward into East Texas and West Louisiana as another 120- mile-wide area from 60 miles southwest of Palestine, Tex., to 40 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.
