ORDER RESTORED
IN TEXAS RIOTS
Day OF Racial MObbings
Costs Lives of White
Man, Negro

Beaumont, Tex. June 17-CUP)-
State militia armed with sub-ma-
chine guns restored order to this
Gulf coast shipbuilding center to-
day after "a hours of race rioting
in which white man and Negro
were killed.
Acting Governor A. M Aiken, Jr
placed the city under martial law
last night after 60 Negroes had been
hospitalized and about 100 homes
and shops in the Negro district de-
stroyed in the rioting, which broke
out after young white woman told
police she had been raped by a Ne
gro. ,..
More than 1000 state guardsmen
came to the aid Of Texas Rangers
and local peace officers with the i'm
position of martial law.
An $3.50 curfeW kept everyone but
war workers off the streets and
prevented a recurrence of the vio-
lence of the night before, when
mobs of white men invaded the
Negro district, burned homes,
dragged Negroes from their auto
mobiles and set fire to the cars.
The windows of many Negro
homes were smashed by rocks, Negro
shops and business places were
looted and damaged, and Negro
ShantieS were wrecked.
The city was quiet last night, and
production at the shipyards, which
had been disrupted by the rioting,
was restored almost to normal, al
though no Negro employees had been
called back to work.
The dead white man was Ellis
Cleveland Brown, SIS. He died yes
terday of skull fracture after a
group Of Negroes slugged him while
he was walking down the street.
John johnson, Negro. died of gum
shot wounds last night Rumors
that others had been killed were not
substantiated.
About 125 members Of the mobs
which invaded the Negro district
were held in Jail. Under martial
law, they cannot be released under
bOiiN' A)OOlL WY anu Guilty JdllS
were kept under heavy guard and
a barped wire barrier was erected
around police headquarters.
The Negro who assaulted the
white woman has not been appre-
hended. The rioting began when
mobs of white men formed to look
for him and went to the jails to
demand his release In the belief he
had been arrested.
Many observers believed the vio-
lence resulted from growing ami
mostly between Negroes and whites
thrown together as this war boom
town brew faster than social adjust
ments could be made. Minor dis
turbances few weeks ago prompted
authorities to place separate buses
in service for Negroes and whites

Washington, June 17-(UP) -Ra
ton tokens instead of ration stamps
appeared as a possibility today fol-

The tokens would be of non -criti

Under the token plan. customary
paper ration stamps would be issued
in large denominations, one stamp
being worth an entire months al
loWance of rationed food. When a
consumer makes the initial purchase
of ration period tokens would be
given as change for the stamp. Fol
the remainder of the period tokens
would be the currency used in max
ing rationed purchases.
AS described by OPA officials, tok-
ems would relieve store operators OF
the volume of paper attached to
the present system and speed trans
actions in stores.
OPA spokesman emphasized that
the idea of tokens is only "nebulous.
