Damage Piles UP
Home Owners Plan
Legal Action AS
Compensation

Noble county still retained her
new look" this week as u. S. high
way 81, a short distance north of
Macksburg, is showing more dam
age in the two-week old landslide
covering a 12-acre tract continues
to move under the roadway and in
to Duck creek. 1t has been estimated
that the roadway is moving about
three inches in IL hours.
The banks of Duck creek are
cracking as the gigantic slide con-
tinues, state highway tests show that
the slide is extremely deep, the
highway damage is increasing and
law action is now pending, as the
landslide enters its third week this
Thursday.
An outer strip for the widening
of the road, which was constructed
when the highway was resurfaced
about a year ago, has now broken
away. The highway is beginning to
develop a decided bank in the curve
and is heaved up and cracked for
more than 800 feet.
About half the bank between the
roadway and Duck creek has de-
veloped a deep crack and continues
to break away. Duck creek, itself,
has noticeably narrowed.
The gas line of the Permian Oil
& Gas Co., has been partially re-
moved from the ground and laid on
top of the earth to prevent its break
ing from the pressure of the slide.
Two trees were cut down as they
were moving slowly toward the
electric lines.
Working in a light rain score
of state highway employees roamed
the area in ankle deep mud making
tests to determine the depth of the
slide and conducting surveys to de-
termine the extent to which the
highway has moved from its original

T. w. Patterson, of Caldwell, has
already been given the contract for
the construction of new brooder
house, which will be located on the
same site
The owner said that the brooder
house was heated by gas and that
the blaze probably resulted from a
failure in one of the stoves.

| Texas Ready 10 Fight
Lucas Proposal for
| TideIand Oil Plank
" the Asseeiossd Press

PHILADELPHIA. July 1o.-One
bolt minded bloc Of the Texas DEM
ocratic delegation hit town tonight,
angry over reports that Senator
Lucas. Democrat. Of Illinois may
press a Federal tidelands owner
ship plank in the party platform.
IF these stories are true" said
Gov. Beauford H. Jester, delegation
chairman, I'VE know who we don't
want for Vice President-I mean
Lucas"
Gov. Jester rode in at the head Of
= group of 20 delegates and alter
mates already in an uproar over
withdrawal Of Gen. Eisenhower as
their favored candidate and won-
dering what progress has been made
on drafting q civil rights plank.
Talk Of Voting for Nimitz.
Delegation leaders were talking Of
casting Texas so votes on the first
presidential ballot for Admiral
Chester Nimitz as favorite son.
The Texans hold their first formal
caucus at 2 pm. tomorrow.
Gov. Jester said he would confer
with Texas Democratic leaders al
ready in town before issuing an
additional statement. The group
that arrived by special train has
been virtually out of touch for three
days en- route.
Members of the special train party
had obtained dozen signatures on
a proposed statement committing
the delegation leadership to the
Southern revolt, but Gov. Jester re-
fused to sign it. Chairman Robert
w. Calvert, of the State Democratic
executive committee, Wright Nor
row, national committeeman elect,
and Attorney General Price Daniel
also refused to sign it pending a
full meeting of the delegation.
Many Reservations Cancelled.
They did not even know for sure
how many of Texas 1872 delegates
and alternates would be here.
Many had Cancelled train and plane
reservations.
R. w. Milner, jr., delegate from
Houston, stormed through the spe-
cial train voicing opposition to re-
nomination of President Truman,
disappointment over Gen. Eisen-
hower's decision, and criticizing
Gov. Jester for not signing the pro-
jected revolt manifesto.
Our leaders don't have their
ears to the ground" he said. They
must have a deal the delegates don't
know anything about"
Mr.. Daniel drafted a tidelands
proposal advocating State owner
ship, which he said he would sub
NIT "at the first opportunity" to
the platform committee.
He and Gov. Jester planned early
conferences with former Gov. Dan
Moody, a member of the platform
drafting committee.

Of many delegates Some suggested
throwing Mr.. McEnery out.
Mr.. Roosevelt refused comment,
saying after the caucus: The &C
tons speak for themselves"
The motion demanding Mr.
Boosevelt's resignation was seconded
by Will Rogers. jr, former House
member and son Of the late humor-
list.
Wanted to Clear Conscience"
Mr. McEnery had announced on
his arrival here this morning that
he intended to seek the custer of
Mr.. Roosevelt, who is chairman of
the State Central Committee.
Later, when the delegation met.
he addressed the tense session
T want to clear my conscience
We must go back and put the rec
ord straight with 100000 California
Democrats"
Mr.. Roosevelt listened impassively
As Mr.. McEnery went on to accuse
him of having tried to wreck" Mr..
Trumans chances as long as six
months ago when the delegation was
named.
Referring to Mr.. Roosevelt's fire.
quent statements on Gen. Esen-
hover while the California delega-
ton travelled East by special train,
Mr.. McEnery continued:
1T is shame and disgrace
what has taken place since we left
San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Roosevelt had a right to make those
statements for himself. but not for
this delegation.
Referred to 1916 Primaries.
Mr.. McEnery also referred to the
California primaries of 1916. when
factional differences sprang up in
the party.
IT was elected vice chairman two
years ago on ticket which was in
tended to bring harmony to Cali
fornia. What a sham and disillu-
sionment that has been in view of
the last six months"
In the selection of the delegation
itself, Mr.. McEnergy said. Il will
charge there was bad faith all the
way through"

Truman pledge was the crux Of the
entire situation, and that he wanted

iSenator Ball, and he declared to-
day that President Truman "can
only win this election with good
platform, not only on civil rights,
but on high prices, housing, labor
and foreign policy.
Mayor Humphrey said he Is con-
fident the advocates Of strong
civil rights plank have majority
on the 19-member drafting COM
mittee, and that If they take their
case to the floor of the convention
they would win. He cited the large
delegations from New York and
other Northern States that would
take part in any decision made on
the floor of the convention.
Asked today if he had any sug-
|gestions for avoiding a floor fight
over the issue, Senator McGrath
replied, The only way to handle it
is to allow every one to say what
they think on the floor, and then
VOTE"
In some of the Southern States
the revolt against the civil rights
program has expressed itself in the
form of opposition to Mr.. Truman,
entirely aside from the wording Of
the party platform: And, since Mr..
Truman is destined to be the con-
vention's choice for President. 1t
will still be a wide open question
after the convention is over what
the electors in some Southern States
will do even if mild plank on civil
rights Is adopted.
Conference in Birmingham.
Some of the Southerners have
been talking of calling confer
ence" in Birmingham, Ala, after
the convention Is over, presumably
to suggest the names of Southern
Democrats for whom Southern cleo
tors could cast protest vote in the
electoral college, if they are dissat-
isfied with the outcome Of proceed
ings at this convention.
Asked about this Birmingham
possibility today. Senator McGrath
said, Frankly, + know nothing
about it. I've heard no talk about
it around here"
Some OF the Northern delegates
here believe that, by autumn, after
the presidential campaign has been
in full swing for several months, the
Southerners will be found back in
the Democratic fold. In consider
ing the tone Of their platform, some
other Northerners apparently figure
that in view of the uncertainty as
to what the South will do, the best

1914 plank, with which the South
went along at that time.
That plank said racial and reli-
gious minorities have the right tc
live, develop and vote equally with
all citizens and share the rights
that are guaranteed by our Consti-
tuition" 1t contained second SEN
tence declaring that Congress
should exert it's full constitutional
powers to protect those rights"
National Chairman McGrath sale
yesterday he believes the 1914 plank
would reduce floor discussion to q
minimum" and added that it was
ample as a basis for the program
which President Truman submitted
to Congress this year.
The trouble confronting this con-
vention, however, grows out Of these
facts:
/. The Southerners, on one hand
have taken strong exception to the
detailed list Of Federal remedies
President Truman has recommended
to Congress to stamp out racial dis
elimination. They want this plat
form TO lay more stress on the rights
problems,
2. Some OF the Northerners, like
Mayor Humphrey feel on the Other
hand that the 1914 plank Is moi
strong enough to reflect support oi
Mr.. Truman's program.
Propose Minority Report.
Mayor Humphrey told reporters
today that there will be minority
report of at least one" If the civi,
rights plank is not satisfactory, and
added:
Il don't want the Democratic Party
to HIDE in the shadow of States
rights when it ought to be fighting
for human rights.
The Minneapolis Mayor said he
would fight for all 10 of the Truman
points, but that four, dealing with
economic and political equity for all
racial groups, are a basic minimum
