L0NnGE Mc!NTNSH SMASKES HOUSTON ,
 TEXAS, DOPE R'NG

Lonnie Mcintosh, Narcotics Agent of the U. s. Treasury Dept, who was stationed in Juneau until re- gently, was responsible fer the breaking up of dope gang st Houston, Texas, last mcnth ac- cording to word received here today.
 Mcintosh was relieved from his assignment here, in March, and sent to Texas as an undercover agent. There he assumed loud, sporty clothes and the name of Jack Wilson" and posed as a St. Louis safe-cracker. He soon became confident of the dope gang and gathered considerable evid n c e which lead to their eventual ar rests when his true identity was inadvertently revealed.
 His usefulness as an undercover man, was lost when Houston ra- dio station broadcast his true name and identity, plus his home. address, over a welcoming" program. The local dope peddlers put two and two" together and suddenly cooled off in their treatment of Mcintosh.
 When this happened, Mcintosh, assisted by local law enforcement officers arrested the II members of the gang. Efforts had been made for the past seven years to secure evidence. on them and it was only through the work of Mcintosh that this goal was accomplished.

CHARLOTTE, July 81 - up -
Eviction notices were received to-
day by the 80 tenants of Char
lotte Homes, private housing
project. The tenants announced
they wouldn't move an inch and
would seek an injunction against
H. B. Meiselman, owner OF the
property.
The notices informed the tenants
that they are to vacate by Aug. l,
1947, because the owner plans to
convert the units to their present
occupants or to other buyers but
that none were sold.
He said ne then decided to con-
vert them into q hotel.

not include a provision for evict-

verting a property into a new type
of operation. He said however,
that his office has no authority to
decide the matter and that it must
be decided by the local courts.

Promised Relief By

HOUSTON, Tex. U.D-The middle
western states, now struggling
through a shortage Of gasoline.
are promised relief by next year
when two new pipelines costing
about $50, 900, 600 are completed.
The Magnolia Petroleum Co. is
now at work on ore pipeline, anc
the Texas Co. is supervising ar
operation undertaken by four com.
panies In surveying for still al
other.
The two lines will overcome thu
shortage Of 100, 600 barrels of oil
which now plaques the vast mid
west and has caused six oil com
panies to announce raticning O.
gasoline to their dealers.
The principal reason that min
western states are short is the
constantly increasing demand to1
petroleum products. The shortage
was aggravated by the inability Of
oil wells in Oklahoma and Illinois
to produce sufficient quantities.
Oklahoma Flow Down
In 1887. Oklahoma wells pro
duced about 627, 600 barrels daily
hut today the rate is only about
900. 600 barrels daily.
Illinois wells toomed daily ir
1887 to 403, 600 barrels But today
the flow has dropped to 100, 00(
barrels daily.
Kansas production has increas.
ed but not enough to compensate

Refineries in Indiana, Illinois and
Ohio are capable of handling the

cracking a transportation bottle

The Magnolia line will run CSC
miles from Corsicana, Tex, to

104, 0CO barrels daily.

Invited Story
Foreign Affairs Chairman
Charles A. Eaton, R., N. j.. said
he invited Marshall to tell his
story because many House mem
bers felt The State department was
giving the true picture of world
conditions only to the Senate For
eign Relations committee.
There is a House of Represen-
tatives," he said, land we thought
the State department might want
to create liaison with another
branch
The secret parley conceded with
the end Of Marshau's first half
year at the helm Of American
foreign policy. 1t underscored the
fact that the secretary's widely
hailed plan for European recovery
is in trouble at home and abroad
and that the rival "Molotov PLAN
for Eastern Europe is away to a
flying head-start.
Marshall's appearance at the
meeting apparently was intended
to win over the support of House
members who have been reluctant
to approve funds for the admins
t%ration's foreign policy spending
and who may hold the deciding
voted when his European recovery
plan comes to a showdown in
Congress.
Eaton indicated there would be
no more closed-door meetings with
Marshall until Congress reconvenes
after the summer recess. He said
he believed that as many mem
bers of Congress as possible should
form their own appraisal on the
situation by investigating condi-
tons abroad for themselves.
He took sharp exception to a
statement by Sen. Tom Conally,
Tex, ranking Democrat on the
Senate Foreign Relations commit
tee, who recently predicted failure
for the 16-nation Marshall plan
conference in Paris.
II haven't the information that
Sen. Conaily had," Eaton said
tartly. "In my opinion, this paris
conference is one of the most
hopeful things that has happened
since the end of the shooting war.
I am hopeful that a real, workable
policy will be established"
1t was believed that Marshall
also discussed win the Congress-
men the sudden French ''blow-up'
over Anglo-American plans to re-
build Germany's industry to help
in the recovery of Western Europe.
French anger over that proposal is
so great that it is considered a
major threat to the Marshall plan.
