X-RAY GROUP TO
INCORPORATE
Delaware State Wide Chest
X-Ray Survey Plan Perm
anent Organization
PROJECT A FIRST

The Delaware Statewide Chest
x-ray Survey" now in the process
of organization, is destined to be-
come one of Delaware's most out
standing groups. An outgrowth of
the Governors Conference on Tu-
berculosis Control held in Dover
early in March, this organization
will be responsible for the develop
ment of plans necessary to the sue
cessful conclusion of the chest
x-ray survey which will take place
next fall. Since Delaware is the
first state to attempt statewide
chest x-ray survey, it follows that
the organization responsible for
such a project is also first, and
one which will require the active
participation of hundreds of pers-
ons from all parts of the state.
Progress has been made since the
Governors Conference. This was
evidenced at the meeting held in
Legislative Hall, Dover, on Wed
nesday evening, March IS. Men,
bers of temporary steering COM
mittee elected during the Govern
or's Conference, together with rep
resentatives of those agencies
sponsoring the chest x-ray survey
had been called together by the
temporary chairman, DR.. Floyd I.
Hudson, Executive Secretary of
the State Board of Health, to dis
cuss plans for a permanent organ
ization. The name of the organ
ization, officially adopted at that
meeting, was onesof two suggested
by a subcommittee appointed to
concider in addition to a name,
plans for organization and incor-
poration. Upon acceptance of the
report which was made by the
chairman, Mr.. John Charlton, Di-
rector, Child Development and
Guidance, State Department of
Public Instruction, Dover, the tenn
porary steering committee became
the new Board of Directors.
In the absence of the chairman,
Mrs. Lillian Martin, Milford, Mr..
Taggart Evans, Executive Secre-
tary of the Delaware Anti-Tuber-
culosis Society, reported the sug-
gestions made by subcommittee
appointed to explore ways and
means for financing the chest
x-ray survey. This report was
also unanimously approved. With
plans for incorporation accepted as
part of Mr.. Charlton's report, it
was considered advisable to ap-
point five persons to serve as in
corporators. This was accom-
plished by the appointment of Rep
resentative Glenn w. Lowe, Laur-
ell; Mr.. John Charlton and Mr.Wil-
liam Storey, Dover; DR.. George
Campana, Wyoming; and DIR.

Government Headed For
 6 and a Half Billion Deficit

WASHINGTON, R - Govern ment finance specialists said Fri day the country appears headed for a deficit Of nearly 612 billion dollars-about halflbillion more than predicted - by the end of the fiscal year on June 30.
 The specialists, who asked not to be named, said in separate in- tervieWs:
 l. With most of the big March tide of tax dollars counted, net revenues this year may be a bill lion dollars less than the S68,697,- 000,000 former President Truman predicted in his final budget mes sage last January
 2. With the fiscal year three quarters gone, expenditures may run about half-billion less than the S74,593, 3,OOO,OOO Truman fore cast.
 This would mean a deficit of about $6,4OO,OOO,OOO rather than the $9,896,OOO,O0O forecast by Truman. Such deficit would hamper President Eisenhower's drive to balance the budget for fiscal 1854, starting July l.

Van Fleet Offered Job As Military Adviser To Appropriations Committee

WASHINGTON, tRs IT Deep in controversy over his claims of ammunition shortages in Korea, Gen. James A. Van Fleet Friday had the offer of a job that would give him potent influence on na- tional defense.
 It was an invitation to serve as staff military adviser to the Sen ate Appropriations Committee, which will have a big say about how many billions of dollars Con- gress will vote for defense in the months ahead.
 Chairman Bridges R-NH of the pursestring committee said he and Sen. Ferguson R-Mich, chairman of the Defense Funds subcommittee, Thursday invited Van Fleet to take the military. ad- wiser post.
 "The general told us that he would take it under considera- tion," Ferguson said, adding it may be several days before Van Fleet decides.

Eisenhower and Weeks
 Accept Resignation Head Of Bureau of Standards

WASHINGTON, President Eisenhower, backing up Secretary of Commerce Weeks, Thursday accepted the resignation of Dr. Allen V. Astin as director of the National Bureau of Standards.
 Astin resigned after Weeks asked him to quit
 Weeks said he called for the resignation on the ground that the bureau, a unit of the Commerce Department, had not been ''suf- ficiently objective" in it's testing methods. He said there also were other reasons but did not disclose them.
 Weeks singled out for special mention the bureaus decision that battery dope" was no good. Dope" is a mixture designed to pep up aging batteries.
 Astin said bureau scientists found that the battery dope" put out by Pioneers, Inc, did not pep up batteries as the company claims. Weeks said it does.
 Astin's job, which is a career one, pays s15,OO0 a year. Politics are not supposed to figure in the assignment.

Former Secretary Snyder Defends Reorganization Of Treasury Department

WASHINGTON, R John w. Snyder, secretary of the treasury in the Truman administration, says it is not true that the h. ternal Revenue Bureau was pack ed with "pet stooges'' of the ad- ministration, as charged by Sen. Williams R-DeD.
 Williams made the accusation in the Senate yesterday, calling last years reorganization of the Bureau a dismal failure" The senator said new legislation is needed to correct abuses.
 Snyder, now an officer of the Willys-Overland Co.,, issued this statement in Toledo, Ohio:
 Reorganization of the Bureau of Internal Revenue was carried out in accordance with the spirit and letter of the act passed by Congress.
 All appointments were made in a manner prescribed by law and appointees were selected strictly on a merit basis" ~pl Ia a~r.

As Ruth rode away, fear was
"A mixed with the anger she felt.
The death of Shorty McCabe had
stirred jeff Payne deeply and
Ruth sensed that &c was a man to
be feared.
Denton's murder had caused
Ruth many sleepless nights, for
she knew that her brother Buddy

about the time Dan must have
been killed. She had been fishing
near the cabin in the hills above
the ranch and had seen Buddy
ride along the trail which led to
the Double D and she had guessed
that he was riding to meet Diana
Denton. A quiescent dislike Of
Diana Denton had immediate
ly turned to passionate hatred.
Buddy was only a boy; too nice a
boy to be embroiled in an affair
with a married woman.
She descended the shoulder Of
hill and entered the Starr ranch
yard. Buddy joined her at the cor
raj. He said, "You sure had nerve

what happened?"

die and faced him over the back

curly hair and smiling eyes. She
had liked him until she found
that he was to be Diana Denton's
foreman
And now they were going to
ambush him, murder him. She
climbed to the top rail in order
to watch what he did -.
Jeff stood up and waved an arm
- when three riders hove in sight
and they waved in answer and
altered their course SO as to meet
him as he strobe down the slope.
They pulled up sharply and one
of them asked, where's Shorty?

of finding Shorty's body and then
of the missing cattle.

The cattle trail was plain and
led directly to the ford beyond
the gap; but instead of turning to-
wards the Star, the tracks fol-
lowed the creek through the gap
and beyond.
He rode warily, with his Win
chester across his knees, his eyes
stabbing at the outcroppings of
rock on both sides. He felt a tiny
prickling at the base of his skull;
this might well be a trap into
which he was riding. AS he neared
the far end of the canyon he
doubled his caution.
A rife cracked somewhere near
the top of the rock wall and JEFF
heard the zing of the bullet as it
passed over him. He jerked his
horse to a halt, whipped up the
rifle and fred at the wisp of smoke
which rose lazily above a clump
of powders. He saw dust fly where
his bullet struck but did not catch
sight of the markSman who had
fired at him.
And then through the assure
came five horsemen, spreading out
as soon as they gained the wider
part of the canyon. All five were
shooting. The man on Jeff's left was
Shag Dolan and JEFF whipped up
the Winchester again and let fly
a shot. He saw dirt squirt from
the canyon wall and knew he had
missed by q foot. And then an
other bullet from the top of the

He wheeled his horse and sent

half expecting to see more riders
enter at the end toward which he
was racing. Nothing to do but
ride fast and gain the protection
of the narrow slit.
He heard the sharp crack of the
rifle above the pounding of his
pony'S hoofs and caught the whis-
per of lead as it passed close to
him. He knew that the shot had
come from ahead of him but he
had seen no tell-tale puff OF
smoke. He glanced upward as the
rifle cracked again. The marks
man was firing from the top of the
right wall and jeff could see the
cluster of rocks which sheltered
him. And there was nothing he
could do about it but ride and
pray.
Abruptly the lead ceased coming
his way. He could hear the steady
crack of rifle but it had a more
distant sound. He looked up quick
ly and saw a man break from the
protection of the rocks and scam
per along the edge of the cliff.
JEFF let out whoop of triumph
and spurred straight for the can
yon entrance. He flashed into the
crevice, glanced over his shoulder
and saw Shag and his men con-
verging towards the narrow fis-
sure. He halted his horse and
dropped to the ground.
He fired over the horses back,
using the saddle for a rife rest.
and his first shot struck a horse
and sent it plunging headlong,
splitting the rider. After that there
was confusion, with horses mill
ing about near the entrance and
men shouting and curSing. They
moved about so rapidly that jeff
had no stationary target. Then
somehow they got Strengthened
out and the whole FIVE surged
back into the canyon, the one who
had been endorsed running like a
frightened rabbit. They rounded
the shoulder of the rock and were
lost to Jeff's sight.
JEFF said. "Whew!" and mopped
his forehead. Then he reloaded the
rifle magazine and got back on his
horse. He rode thoughtfully and
wonderingly towards the valley.
Somebody had befriended him;
somebody had routed the marks
man who was leisurely lining his
sights on him like a man in a
shooting gallery. One of his own
crew. probably; one who knew the
country, who had sensed the trap
into which jeff was riding and
had climbed the cliff in time to
save him. Disobedience of orders,
of course. but what could he do?
