1873 Prospects Are Bright For Farms Heavy Fall Rains Promise Big Crop For Next Harvest By GRADY STILES Caller Times Farm Editor The horn of plenty may be bursting at the seams in the Coastal Bend, come the 1956 harvest season. With fall rains having saturated the land, are looking forward to planting season with high hopes for a year of bumper crops. "Prospects have never been so encouraging," most any farmer will tell you. "If we get even a fair break on the weather next spring, we're certain to make a big crop." That's the consensus throughout most of the area. Heavy rains in August and September, followed by intermittent showers, have put the soil in excellent condition moisture have wise.
had At the same time, sufficient clear weather to work their fields and get the land in condition to take up and store vast amounts of moisture. Kleberg County Moist In Kleberg County, moisture conditions are better than they have been in a long time. W. F. (Bill) Thomas, county agricultural agent, said yesterday.
"Right now, we have all the moisture we need," Thomas said. "Pastures are coming along fine, although it will be some time before they can make complete recovery from the severe drought of the past year. Many stockmen have excellent cultivated pastures, and fall feed crops are being harvested on some of our farms." Thomas said that cucumber plantings in the Vattman and Riviera area will probably be back to normal next spring and that probably 70 percent of the land that is not planted in cotton will be in grain sorghums next year. Prospects are so encouraging in Brooks County that John L. Murphy, county agricultural agent, was prompted to observe, "if we don't make a crop next year, we might as well quit trying." Bumper Silage Crops Dairymen in the Falfurrias area are harvesting bumper silage crops this fall, Murphy said, and cultivated pastures are in fine condition and are furnishing adequate grazing for dairy herds in that highly concentrated dairy area.
Ample underground moisture has been stored up as a result of early fall rains; and during the past week, more than an inch of rain was received in the Falfurrias area. Murphy said that indications now are for a big watermelon See CROPS, Page 20 DUEITT GAINS, BUT FUMBLES This play was typical of the frustrating afternoon the Miller Buccaneers spent in Tyler yesterday. Every time they got rolling, a bad break would stop them. Quarterback Larry Dueitt (22) gained yardage off tackle on this run, but fumbled to set up Tyler's first touchdown. Bill Johnson (65) is about to tackle Dueitt while Freddie Jennings (77) blocks for him.
Tyler won the state quarter-final game, 22-7.

The condition of the two children is not believer to be serlous. football fans, anticipating victory, were all set for Saturday night when they intended to make the Tyler-town square look and sound as Chaparral and Mesquite Streets did Thanksgiving afternoon and night. But at 4:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon they quietly returned Tyler to 50,000 unquiet residents of the City of Roses and prepared for the long 400-mile ride home. The big reason why was written on the score board in Rose Stadium: Tyler 22, Corpus Christi, 7.
Though the final outcome was hardly in doubt from the first quarter, Miller fans felt for a brief few minutes in the third period as if their team would come from behind and maybe win. But their hopes were short lived. The Buccaneers were after their first and only touchdown, Tyler took a new lease on life, Dueitt was hurt--and that was the ball game. Although a few Corpus Christi fans were on hand Friday afternoon, the most arrived about midmorning Saturday. They immediately took over the square, street State Meeting Slated To Aid Law Enforcing AUSTIN, Dec.

The Russians have turned over control of permits for canal traffic between the city and West Germany, it was disclosed, and the German Communist regime appeared determined to use its new authority to wrest some kind of recognition from the Bonn Republic. West German officials said the problem may be acute when all old permits expire Dec.
31 and applications are made for new permits at the beginning of the year. These officials said East Germany is insisting that problems concerning the canals be handled between the transport ministries of the two rival Germanies, and not on the level of lesser agencies. The object thus appeared to to win quasi-recognition. Transfer of authority over barge traffic by the Russians to the East Germans was agreed upon in Moscow Sept. 20 after the Soviet-East German "sovereignty" treaty was signed.
Subsequently, West Berlin transport officials said, the Russians returned several British applica- UN Votes A-Agency Approval UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. Dec. 3 (P--The U. N.
Assembly unanimously called today for the "without delay" of an international atoms-for-peace agency. It approved a broad program to achieve this goal next year. The Soviet Union voted with the United States for the program. But the Russians served notice they will push their proposals to put the agency within the framework of the U. N.
when the negotiating powers meet to work out an agency constitution. The United States, which favors a loose connection between the agency and the U. announced the negotiating conference will begin next Jan. 23. It is expected to be held in Washington, where the planning for the agency has centered since President Eisenhower put his historic atoms-for-peace proposal to the U.
N. Assembly Dec. 8, 1954. The Assembly also by unanimous vote established a scientific committee to study the effects of atomic radiation. This wound up for this year the Assembly consideration of proposals dealing with using the atom for peace.
The U. N. still is debating control of the atom as part of disarmament plans. Some delegates privately pointed out this scientific committee will be especially useful in view of wide ranging reports of radiation resulting from the gigantic nuclear blast set off by the Soviet Union recently. tions for canal traffic permits with word that East German officials were now responsible for issuing permits.
When the West German Waterways Administration at Hamburg, a liaison office, sent the applications to the East German Shipping Administration, it was told the Bonn Transport Ministry must make application to the East German Ministry. The West regards these permits as a technical matter, to be dealt with on a lower level. Canal barges carry virtually all of Berlin's coal and about onethird of its other supplies. However, city officials said West Berlin already is supplied for coal for the winter. The East Germans, too, would suffer from a barge stoppage inasmuch as about a fourth of the goods brought eastward by barges is for East German delivWest, in the beery, last few days, has found itself in a position of insisting that Berlin is "occupied" territory although it insists upon a policy of freedom and unity for all Germany.

First of all, 1. Russian military forces remain in and around Berlin. The Soviet commandant in Berlin, Maj. Gen. P.
A. Dibrova, didn't pack up and head for Moscow. But he did stop using the title "Berlin commandant." He did this to enforce his argument that East Berlin Communist police now have juristiction over anybody who enters East The West Berlin city government, appealed to the Western Allies, asking that Berlin not be forsaken. The current argument over the city had its beginning in an incident last Sunday. Two American congressmen Rep.
Harold Ostertag (R-NY) and Rep. Edward Boland (D-Mass) were detained in East Berlin by Communist police. When U. S. authorities protested to the Russians, Dibrova replied that East Berlin is considered part of East Germany, which was given "sovereignty" last September by the Soviet Union.
The Western Allies gave their part of Germany the Bonn Republic. sovereignty last May. West Berlin, since it was isolated miles inside East Germany, was not affected. It remained "occupied territory," an important technicality. This permitted Western military traffic to move through East Germany to West Berlin under the supervision of the Russians, and not the East German Communist regime, which is not recognized by the West.
Last September, when East Germany acquired "sovereignty, the Russians said they would retain control of Western military traffic for the time being. They omitted to say when the status might be changed. This was what gave the rest jitters this week, and caused the Big Three France, Britain the United States to pro test emphatically against ending the occupation status of East Berlin. James B. Conant, U.
S. Ambassador to Bonn, hurried to Berlin after Sunday's incident and asserted the West will remain in the city until Germany is unified. Despite the Soviet pronouncement, and similar ones from the East German Communist party, Western military traffic is still being handled by the Russians. When this will change, only the Russians know. corners and hotel lobbies.

BIG UNION DOES NOT APPROVE TEAMSTERS NEW YORK, Dec. 3 (P--A by the big AFL Teamsters union to join the CIO subsidiary of the newly merged AFL-CIO was sharply rebuffed tonight by James B. Carey, a top leader of the former CIO. Several officials of the member Teamsters revealed their union planned to join the AFLCIO's Industrial Union Department. That is a unit intended primarily for former CIO unions.
Carey, asked whether the Teamsters would be welcome, said flatly, no. The former CIO secretarytreasurer and head of the electrical workers said: "Number one, the Teamsters are not industrial union. Two, they can't adhere to our objectives. Three, for other reasons they are not eligible. And four, we won't take them in." Carey declined to elaborate on these points.

Lt. W.
T. of local police narcotics said poJackson, the lice department at Kingsville tipped him of the problem about three weeks ago. Jackson and his partner, Joe Solis, have been working on the case since. 'No Square' Jackson said that Solis'1 masquerade as a who "wasn't no square" and did "the best piece of undercover work I've ever seen and I've seen a lot ot it." To meet with narcotics law requirements, Jackson and Solis had to either catch peddlers with marijuana cigarettes (sticks) on their person or actually make purchases of the narcotic. Solis attended many of the jam sessions where sticks were being peddled and made enough buys to implicate all four men arrested.
Jackson said they will be filed on at the courthouse Monday. Traced To Corpus Christi The tip came from Kingsville police after they discovered an alarming increase in persons suspected of smoking marijuana cigarettes following "jam sessions" there on Sunday afternoons, Jackson said. Police there traced the source to Corpus Christi and notified Jackson. The team went into action here on the Kingsville tip and began lining up places where one of the men, a musician, played at jam and bop sessions here. Jackson said traffic was confined to cigarettes and that little if any bulk marijuana was peddled, but number of cigarettes sold and the number of persons buying them were alarmingly high, Police Chief Charles Wirasnik at Kingsville last night said Jackson and Solis had done "a fine job." Source Stopped said there might be a loose end or two to clear up, but the source was stopped and the case cleared.
"'The main thing we're always after is the source," he said. Wirasnik said he called Police Chief Dick Runyan here when See CATS, Page 20 Mild Cold Front Due Later Today A new cold front expected to hit Corpus Christi about sunup today has slowed down, and its mild effects will not be felt here until sometime this afternoon. A forecast from the U.S. Weather Bureau Station at Cliff Maus Airport said the cold front is milder than expected. The expected high temperature for today is 68 to 72 degrees, with a low tonight of 54 to 58 degrees.
The high for tomorrow is expected to be 62 to 66 degrees. Partly cloudy skies will accompany mild temperatures today, with occasional scattered showers falling in the area.

The Teamster move appeared to have stirred up the first major quarrel in the reunited labor movement on the eve of its first convention Monday. Walter Reuther, who had been top man in the CIO and is due to head the IUD, was inclined minimize the whole situation.
He said the IUD won't actually be established until authorized by the convention next week. Others pointed out the IUD probably will act separately on the merits of each applicant. Reuther told last convention yesterday: "The Industrial Union Department will, like every other depart- would affect the city's ability to repay the bonds. The prospectus pointed out that the city has a mild climate, has excellent industrial plant sites and a good labor supply, has good cheap water transportation connections to the deep water ports of the world through the Gulf of Mexico and to the Gulf Coast, Atlantic Seaboard and the Midwest through the Intracoastal Canal system and the Mississippi River waterway. Also, that the city is now in the process of providing a water supply which can be expanded to last until the year 2,000, and that this is one of the fastest-growing areas in the nation.
It was pointed out that the city has spent almost $15 million in the past two years on public improvements. The major industries of the Corpus Christi area are lisied as manSee FIRMS, Page 20 ment of the merged organization, be open to membership of every union in the CIO or AFL, if they have an interest in the department." The situation was further aggravated by word from Teamsters officials that they have signed a mutual aid agreement with the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers union. This is an independent group ousted by the CIO some five years ago for alleged Communist influences. The Teamsters similarly risked the ire of the AFL leadership recently by entering into a similar aid pact with the International Longshoremen's Association, the waterfront union ousted by the AFL for alleged gangster domination. Several new union alignments began to take shape in the wake of the merger, gaged in the $58-billion-a-year industry.
Frank Rooney, AGC vice president, will look into the future with a talk on the 1956 building outlook. Atty. Gen. John Ben Shepperd is to address the group at a lunchcon meeting Monday to be on the White Plaza Deck. Small group meetings tomorrow afternoon will discuss technical and special subjects.
Business will open Tuesday's session with an executive committee meeting. Maj. Gen. Charles G. Holle, deputy chief of the Army Corps of Engineers, will address a general session of the group later in the morning.
The final session will be at 2 p.m. Tuesday. The convention will end Tuesday night with a dinner in Exposition Hall. 1 KOSS RECEIVES KEY TO THE CITY Culli (left) makes the presentation.
