Fire breaks out in Dallas jail;
officers quell major disturbance
DALLAS bP)—Fire broke out
on the 12th floor of the Dallas
County jail Monday and all off
duty sheriff’s officers were sum
moned to quell what appeared to
be another major disturbance —
the second in as many weeks —
among prisoners in the jail.
A call was put out for all off
duty warrant, criminal and civil
officers of the sheriff’s depart
ment to assist in putting down
a rebellion on the 12th floor
which apepared to be a contin
uation of trouble that has rack
ed the jail and the sheriff’s de
partment in recent weeks.
A sheriff’s spokesman said an
unknown number of prisoners
were burning mattresses and
creating a disturbance in a num
ber of cells and “tanks” on the
12th floor.
City police assisted by dogs
were sent to the jail along with
a fire department ladder truck.
Initial details of the disturb
ance were sketchy but it appeared
no injuries were involved and
prisoners had failed to take con
trol, if that was their purpose,
of any section of the jail.
The jail houses about 1,600
prisoners.
The outbreak follows a dis
turbance about two weeks ago
in which rioting prisoners burned
mattress covers and flung flaming
paper and other materials from
upper windows of the downtown
jail building.
Sheriff Clarence Jones met
with an inmate delegation later
which resulted in what Jones said
would be adjustment of certain
conditions which prisoners had
protested—among them food, mail
and clothing issue.
A news conference Sunday was
granted six prisoners who said
Jones “listens to us and he’s try
ing to help us with our problems.
“We’re discontented over the
way Dist. Atty. Henry Wade is
treating poor people of Dallas
County,” said inmate I^arry Potts.
The Monday night disturbance
began around 6:30 p.m. when pris
oners on the 11th floor began
burning mattresses and the up
roar quickly spread upstairs to
the 12th floor.
Guards quickly moved nL
they considered to be the iW
leaders into isolation on the]
floor.
It could not be learned &t (
if there were injuries but as
iff’s spokesman said only n,
there were no “serious inj Ur jl
The spokesman would not
orate.
Jones went immediately to J
trouble area and began taUiJ
with prisoners. I
Guards said they emptied this!
tanks of prisoners, each contaj
ing 30 to 40 men, and sepanltj
them.
Jail spokesmen said the tnj
ble was under control and jdl
personnel were in no danger.
Foreign military students visit TAMU
Foreign military students at
a Defense Language Institute
school in San Antonio visited
A&M over the weekend to broad
en their U. S. acquaintance.
The 41 foreign students are
training in English proficiency at
the Department of Defense-
operated institute at Lackland
AFB.
Their visit was part of a pro
gram of trips to Texas education
al centers and cities. It was de
signed to introduce the military
personnel to the American scene,
according to Jack R. Singleton,
one of three Texas A&M gradu
ates accompanying the group.
Arriving Friday, the students
toured the campus and attended
midnight yell practice. They also
viewed a Corps of Cadets meal
formation Friday and dined with
cadets in Duncan Hall.
Saturday morning the visiting
military men met Aggie interna
tional students from the same
countries, arranged by Robert L.
Melcher, international student
advisor. A walking tour of A&M
facilities enabled exchange of
news from their home lands be
tween the military personnel and
A&M students.
The visitors concluded their
A&M visit by attending the foot
ball game Saturday night. They
returned to San Antonio Sunday.
Escorts included Singleton, a
1938 A&M graduate; Fritz Boed-
eker, class of 1947, and Howard
Bush ’52. They are on the staff
of the language school.
The visiting military students
represented 14 countries of more
than 40 that send students to
study English at the English
Language Branch at Lackland.
More than 600 are now enrolled
in the San Antonio school. Since
it began operation in 1956, the
branch has graduated 25,000
English-trained students.
The weekend A&M visiter,I
were from Afghanistan, the

Germany, Indonesia, Iran, ItiJ
