TEXAS CITY. Tex. April 21.-
There is one ultimate question
raised for America by the Texas City
disaster
The question is this: Although the
American spirit has been shown
capable of rising unselfishly above
mass tribulation, is the overall
American organization for coping
with community wide dislocation
and chaos Of this type sufficient?
That question is strong in the
minds of many survivors of the
blasts which turned Texas City
from a productive peacetime boom
town of $4,000 people to dazed and
shattered ruin, a waterfront indus
trial rubble from which its scat
tered citizenry is emerging now
chiefly by the impetus of their own
faith and courage.
In the hearts of many honest
residents-from Mayor J. C. Ira
han, himself a war veteran wearing
the Purple Heart for wounds in
Belgium, to housewives who have
never hitherto had experience with
such civic dismay-there Is grave
doubt whether the present setups
10 meet such emergencies are ade-
quste
This feeling has led to a wide
spread bitterness among people re-
covering from the first numb desc
lation Of loss over the death of
loved relatives, friends and neigh
bors.
No Overall Agency.
Obviously there is no way to deal
satisfactorily with disaster that
in one moment Of calamity brings
the specter of death or injury
into every home in productive and
happy community.
But behind the bitterness of many
survivors is the realization that no
community is able to cope with a
disaster of this size, not even with
the assistance of half a dozen
charitable agencies and the full
hearted financial aid extended by
sympathetic individuals throughout
the Nation
This helps explain the critical
blast against the Red Cross made
by weary Mayor Trahan, who earlier
had unSucceSsfully asked the State
for martial law and was refused.
The full truth. as many Texas
City residents complain. is that there
lis no overall American agency at
present set up to move in and han
die all problems of food, rescue,
policing and communication with
co-ordinated speed and experienced
efficiency.
Mayor Trahan has made the
tragic recommendation that every
American community prepare in ad-
vance disaster committees to meet
such emergencies. :.
Federal Preparation Urged.
The question that Texas City poses
in peacetime is: What would happen
in wartime If series of such trag-
edies simultaneously struck scores
of communities. as certainly would
happen in the even of the dropping
of many atom bombs by ruthless
enemy?
There is sentiment today in Texas

Frank B. Noyes Honored by AP
After Sd Years as Director

Usher Of The Atlanta Constitution
said in seconding the resolution
that there was mo man who con-
tributetd in greater measure to the
success of the Associated Press over
long period of years. Without his
loyal devotion we would not have
become the great organization we
are today
The membership adopted the
same resolution as that adopted
previously by the board of directors
1t follows:
The Board of Directors of the
Associated Press wishes. at this time
to call to the attention of the mem
bership the fact that the inability
of Frank B. Moves to serve longer
as director will deprive the board
as of tomorrow, of the last Of its
founders, as an active board men,
Der.
Present AP Began in 1900.
Victor Lawson, Melville Stone
and Frank B. Moves. after the dis
solution of the Illinois corporation,
launched the present Associated
Press on the rough journalistic sea
of 1900. Since that date Mr.. Moves
has been constantly a member of
the board and for 80 years he was
president of the Associated Press.
For 81 years ne was member of the
board either Of the prior organiza-
ton or OF the present corporation.
During this long service Mr..
Moves acquired an unequalled fund
of knowledge of the Associa ted
Press, its members and the news
papers of America, and was of in
calculable value to the board in all
its discussions and actions. His
board grasp of the functions of the
press, and his answering devotion
to the highest ideals of journalism
and public service, gave his work a
public value as great as its i'm
mediate value to the Associated
Press itself.
Wherefore, be it resolved that
the Board of Directors hereby
acknowledges with profound con-
viction it's great debt to Frank 3.
Moves: and relies upon his con-
tinued close interest in the affairs
of the association as honorary
president"

The War Department was given
81 900 900 by the Senate Appropria-
tons Committee today in the first
deficiency bill to bring to the United
States 5000 war brides and their
children who are still in Europe.
The committee also voted to
recommend survey on whether 1t
would be possible to turn over the
Senate restaurants to some outside
commercial concern. 1t took this step
after approving a $4,000 deficit for
the restaurants. which have always
had difficulty in breaking even. All
the eating places on both the House
and Senate sides of the Capitol are
run by Congress.
The deficiency bill, as rewritten
by the Senate committee. totals
81, 1888 ,000, 900 for miscellaneous needs
of all Government agencies for the
remainder of this fiscal year. This
is only 100000 more than the
House appropriated three weeks ago
Army Pay Item Eliminated.
Chairman Bridges of the Senate
committee said his group gave the
Navy most of the additional money
it requested to avoid furloughs be-
tween now and June 80 due to the
last pay increase law, which used uI
salary items faster than was ex-
pected.
The full Senate committee re-
versed the subcommittee in charge
of deficiencies at the last minute by
knocking out approximately $24 ,0OO.-
900 the subcommittee had added tt
the lump sum for Army pay. Com.
mittee members indicated this in
crease was knocked out in order tt
induce the Army to get its enlisted
personnel down to the scheduled
figure of 100000 by July /.

pirate committees Of

Secretary of the Treasury Snyder
told newspapermen recently his de-
partment did not have the loss
estimate, nor could the Budget
Bureau provide it.
The War Departments statement
that the accumulation Clong" posi-
tom of marks does not exceed fu-
ture needs indicates the Army does
not expect to get stuck with more
OF the German currency than 1t can
spend. The loss therefore apparently
will be the difference between the
higher official rate OF the mark and
it's actual buving power.
