BY the Asseeiatsd Pres,

BOMBAY, India, Aug. 3D.
Troops hurried today to put
down bloody Hindu-Moslem
rioting in Hyderabad, adjoining
Bombay state. A Bombay po-
lice official said the riots fol-
lowed the hosting of a Moslem
Pakistani flag over a Hindu
temple.
Fifteen persons were reported
killed and so injured in the
clashes at Gulbarga. $50 miles
west of Hyderabad city near
the Bombay state border. and at
nearby Sugar village. Thirty
shops were burned in Gulbarg.
Tension between Hindus and
Moslems in Hyderabad city, the
capital. appeared to reach the
highest pitch since the Indian
army police action" against the
fabulously wealthy Nizam of
eHyderabad in 1948. The Moslem
Nizarn was campaigning at the
time to make his predominantly
Hindu state an independent ma
ton outside the new Indian re-
public.
The one million residents Of
the twin cities Of Hyderabad and
Secunderabad have been ordered
not to march In professions or
shout slogans for the next seven
days.
Gulbarga has been placed
under q curfew until tomorrow
morning.
Police in Gulbarga were short
handed when the rioting fiared
because the chief and many Of
his men had gone to Sugar to
quell an outbreak there.

they levelled one charge after
another at each other.
The prime issue Of the cam
paign was party loyalty. Mr..
Marlborough, harped at what he
termed Gov. Shivers' "turncoat
role" Gov. Shivers said he
threw his weight behind Gen.
Eisenhower because Mr.. Steven
son refused to back Texas bid for
State ownership of tidelands. He
in turn charged that Mr.. Var

CLIO Political Action Committee
and the National Association for

Texas to outside interests.
Delegation Control at Stake.
At stake also was control of
Texas big delegation to the 1856
national Democratic convention.
Gov. Shivers has control of the
delegates strength to the State
convention on Sept. IA, which in
turn will control Texas national
convention delegation. However,
a Marlborough victory for COVER
nor could have meant some band
wagon changeovers among state
convention delegates.
A total of 1,348, 900 votes was
cast in July, with Gov. Shivers
getting an, edge of 23,787 votes
over Mr.. Marlborough. Two other
candidates received 36,320 votes,
necessitating the runoff.

Legion Auxiliary
Women Will Pick
Birthday Date

The American Legion Auxil-
larry is going to have q prerog-
alive that most women would
enjoy-selecting its own birth
day.
And judging from the list Of
possible dates, it's not going to
be easy.
I'VE have never decided just
how old we are" explained Mrs.
Alfred G. Paterson of Austin.
Mimi, the National historian, 80
we are going to try to set a date
at this years convention"
Here for the annual session
opening tomorrow at the May
flower Hotel, Mrs. Patterson was
among NATIONAL chairmen who
met the press at an informal
conference yesterday.
Four Dates Suggested.
She said a plan had been
worked out to propose four pos
sible dates at the convention.
Imagine women wanting a
birthday" exclaimed Mrs. Percy
A. Lainson, rehabilitation chair
man, who is expected to become
the next auxiliary president.
"But here we are, trying to have
q birthday-little orphans that
we are"
The date most favored by those
on hand this morning seemed to
be about the middle Of November
ON the anniversary OF the
action taken by the American
Legion in 1919 which gave the
women the right to organize and
set up standards Of eligibility.
Mrs. Patterson said she wasn't
sure of the exact date but would
have it by the time the conven-
ton convened.
Also under consideration Is q
date around the first Of March,
1920, when the Legion sent out
its first charters to the 80 de-
partments and about 800 auxili-
airy units which already had been
organized.
The date Of action taken by
the American Legion at its Cleve-
land convention in September,
1920, to set up the auxiliary on
q national basis and the date OF
the auxiliary's first national con-
vention, in Kansas City, the
following year also will be dis
cussed as future birthday dates.
Mentions Home State.
"Then the first department
convention was held in Noven-
Der, 1920, in Winona, Mimi. !"
Mrs. Patterson said.
THAT makes five dates" some
one pointed out. "I know. I just
threw that ia to mention Min
nesota," laughed Mrs. Patterson,
who halls from that State.
Several chairmen indicated
convention business will include
proposals to study the narcotics
traffic situation in local commu-
mites. One chairman, who didn't
want to be named, said she was
especially concerned from the
point of view Of rehabilitating
adults.
Mrs. j. Pat Kelly Of Atlanta,
Ca, chairman of the girls State
committee, said total Of 1875
girls in the 48 States and the
Canal Zone participated this
year-a record figure and more
than 1000 over last year.
Jerolyn Ross, II, of Meridian,
Miss, who was elected president
of the girls nation when it was
held here recently, will return to
Washington to be presented to
the auxiliary convention on
Wednesday.
