SMITH MOTORS Texas Town To Take Action On Misleading Sign DECATUR, Texas, July 19-iJP) All over the world dice players have been crying "eightcr from Decatur, the county seal of Wise." Now the Decatur city council has taken it up. The council wiil decide whether it wants to put its official stamp of approval pn this fame the north Texas town has among crap-shooters looking for a point of eight. "Mainly, we're going to decide about that sign," Mayor Syl Hardwick of Decatur said. He was referring to a fading big signboard near the railroad station which proclaims: "Eighter from Decatur, the county seat of Wis." Tourists stop by the sign and have their pictures made in crap shooting poses. This sort of tom foolery doesn't please some of the people of the town. But others filling stations and restaurant men particularly say the fact that tourists stop to see the sign means more business. Cliff D. Gates, author of 'The Pioneer History of Wise Coun ty," supplied the historical back ground on how Decatur became famous among dice players. Some years ago a Negro girl in Decatur was named Ada. "She was a favorite of Negro cowboys at the Waggoner Kancn, uates saw. inese ooys started yelling, 'Ada from Deca tur, county seat of Wise' when they were trying to roll an eight." White gamblers misunderstood. They changed the phrase to "Eighter" instead of "Ada." Stockman Offers Bill For Forest Lands' Payment PENDLETON, July 19. (fl Congressman Lowell Stockman has introduced a bill to pay an nually 2 percent of the fair value of national forest lands to the states for distribution to the counties in which the lands are located. In speaking Stockman said, "The national forest lands of the United States are generally es timated to be worth about $800 million and they are lands on which no taxes are collected by the counties. While the federal government pays to the states for distribution to the counties, 25 percent of all national forest receipts, there has been criti cism of this plan, due to the in adequacy of the funds and also because the contributions are apf to be the least when prices are depressed and the need of the counties is the greatest." The congressman further add ed: "I believe the bill I am in troducing would establish a larg er measure of both stability and equity of contribution to the counties. Each county would know at the beginning of each decade approximately the sum it would receive during the ensu- Ing ten years from the then ex isting national forest lands. Long- term county Duagets or financial programs thus could be formu lated with a far greater degree of assurance than is possible un der the present 25 percent plan." tee, however, were among those on hand. LONDON, July 19 ) The British foreign office reluctantly admitted Monday it is in touch with the united States "over gen eral atomic subjects." A spokesman refused to say any more than that when report ers at a daily news conference pelted him with questions about the state of British-American re lations on atomic affairs. He refused to confirm or deny that Britain has made anv direct or indirect request for access to atomic secrets. The questions were prompted by American reports of what went on at a Washington con ference last Thursday night be tween President Truman and his highest political, defense and atomic advisers.
