S25o,oo0 Down Drain,
Texans May Quit NFL
Before Season Ends
BY the Assoeioted Press

DALLAS, Nov. 4.-The winless
Dallas Texans. with $250,000 al
ready down the drain, may not
finish the National Football
League season unless there is an
Iappreciable pickup in attendance
or some loans can be obtained.
The professional team that was
brought from New York to Dallas
last winter. amid much ballyhoo
lis on the rocks. And yesterday, il
couldn't get an anticipated loan
from the Dallas Citizens Council
Ia group of civic leaders.
That might have been the last
tack in the coffin. Two of the
five trustees of the team, said they
feared the Texans wouldn't be
able to finish the season.
Meet Rams at Dallas Sunday.
D. Harold Byrd, one of the
trustees who made the plea to the
council for loan of $125, 900, said
after the rundown: "As far as
I'm concerned, that kills it. I
don't think we can cope with it."
John Coyle. another trustee.
was a little more optimistic. He
said loans from individuals might
be obtained in sufficient amounts
to get through the season.
About the only thing that's
fairly certain is that the Texans
will play the Los Angeles Rams
here Sunday and will be seeking
their first victory in seven starts.
We'll play the Rams here" Coyle
said. "and we can play the two
road games that follow because
we're guaranteed $4,000 for each
one. Then we'll play the Chicago
Bears here November 80. II the
situation is no better we'll pay
the players, and if we have any
money left We'll pay the Bears. -
Jack C. Vaughn, a third Texan
trustee, said the situation looked
dismal. but that I'm pretty sure
we can finish the season. A lot
depends on the crowd we get next
Sunday"
Average $4,000 at Home.
The Texan officials said if they
could get a 900 loan, they
would take care of the loss to date
and furnish $125,000 in new
capital. They said that with that
and the sale of $4,000 season tick
cts they could finish this season
and operate next year also.
The Dallas club has played
three games at home, averaging
only 10000 attendance per game.
This is just about half enough to
pay expenses.

are scheduled to play Detroit at

Rev. Laycock's Plane Crashes, Killing Three

The whole Arctic was shocked and saddened with report of the deaths of three people when the Rev. Howard T. Laycock's Piper plane crashed on landing at Pt. Hope on a return from Kotzbue July 16.
 The dead are: Rev. Howard T. Laycock, Episcopal missionary stationed at Pt. Hope; Lizzie Frankson, 18-year-old daughter of Andrew Frankson; and Chester Downey's small daughter, Edith, all of Pt. Hope.
 Chester Downey, who was also in the plane, is in critical condi- ton at the Kotzebue ANS Hos pital where he was brought after blood transfusions had been given him at Pit. Hope by Dr. E. s. Ra- beau, who was flown to the scene of the accident by Tommy Rich ards, Wien Airlines pilot.
 Edith Downey was also alive when rescuers reached the plane but she died a few hours later.
 John Cross, also of Wien Air lines, brought the body of Rev. Laycock to Kotzebue Wednesday night from where it will be sent to Fairbanks for funeral services.
 Rev. Laycock was greatly liked and we'll known for the short time of his residence in the north. He is survived by his widow and infant daughter who were in Pt. Hope at the time of the tragedy, and who will return to Pennsyl- vania in the immediate future.

By JACK BELL

CHICAGO, P)-Vice President Alben w. Barkley pulled a stride forward Friday in his race for the Democratic presidential nomina- ton with reports he will get some first ballot support from Illinois.
 While all candidates jockeyed for position in advance of the opening of the 31st Democratic nominating convention Monday, there were signs that Jacob Ar vey, Illinois national committee man, is ready to take a political flier on the "A = year old vice president.
 Arvey and Mayor David l.. Lawrence of Pittsburgh, Pennsyl- vania national committeeman, conferred with Barkley strate- gists. There were immediate re- ports that Arvey had told the Barkley leaders he would use his influence to get as many as pos sible of Illinois SO convention votes lined up for Barkley on the first ballot.
 These developments came dur ing a temporary Hull in the seeth- ing pre- convention battle over Civil Rights that might explode into a floor fight.
 No less seething were some Southern delegations over the action Of Sen. Richard B. Russell of Georgia in denouncing the Hartley Act.
 Russell added to the controver- sy by saying in <televised news conference Thursday night that he sees no reason why he could n't support President Truman for re-election-in the unlikely event Truman runs.

Part Steel Industry May Be Seized Under SS Act

WASHINGTON, (P) - T h e White House was reported Friday to be seriously considering a plan to seize part of the strike-bound steel industry under the Selective Service Act.
 This word came from a high administrative source who said Justice Department attorneys were instructed Thursday after noon to prepare papers leading to possible partial seizure of the in dustry.
 The Selective Service Act gives the President power to seize only plants which fail to produce un- der direct contract with procure ment agencies.
 The act says that eff any such producers of steel or the respon- sible head or heads thereof re- fuses to comply with such re- quirement, the President, through the Secretary of Defense, is au- thorized to take immediate pos session of the plants of such pro- ducer
 President Truman seized the entire steel industry last April 8, but on June 2 the Supreme Court ruled that he lacked authority to do so and ordered the mills re- turned to private ownership.
 The April 8 seizure was based on no specific law but rather an what the Justice Department said were tn e Presidents inherent constitutional powers.
 Former Solicitor General Philip Perlman told both the District and Supreme Courts in the seizure case that the government had con- sidered seizure under the Selec- tive Service Act but had decided the method was too cumbersome and too difficult to pursue.

Alaska's Delegates Dem. Convention
 Are UncOmnitted

SEATTLE, (P) Alaska's six vote delegation to the Democratic national convention, originally committed for the renomination of President Truman, is going to Chicago with it's hands free and it's ear to the ground.
 National Committeeman Stan ley McCutcheon said here last night the pro-statehood delegation feels particularly friendly toward Sen. Estes Kefauver because he "went out of his way in behalf of statehood for Alaska" when it was before the Senate
 McCutcheon pointed out that the convention is one place where Alaska has equality with one or more of the less populous states, which have no more delegates than Alaska's six
 The six delegates are: Gov. Gruening; Mrs. Essie Dale of Fairbanks; Sen. William Beltz, Nome; Frank Peratrovich, Kla- wok; z. J. Loussac, Anchorage, and McCutcheon.
 He said two blanks on which the delegation will be especially interested are immediate state hood and national defense policies due to the territory's proximity to Russia and the importance of military installations in Alaska.
 He said the pro-statehood Dem ocrats feel the Republicans "Sold the people out" by inserting a plank for eventual, instead of inn mediate statehood.
 Territorial Sen. Howard Lyng of Nome, Democratic national committeeman for Alaska, 1944- 1852, and an alternate delegate to the Chicago convention, sent his proxy to James A. Farley, for mer chairman of the Democratic national committee and postmas- ter general under President F. D. Roosevelt.
