Oak Rimouskl, Quebec, Hit By $20 Million Blaze (Continue'' from page One) Sunday volunteer fire fighters and army troops rushed in from sur rounding communities and battled the fire desperately. Herd Fight Saves Cathedral The blase spread quickly to the western section of the community as thousands of persons loaded their belongings on any available vehicles and fled the searing flames that showered the country side with a blanket of white ash. The biggest bsttle of the fire took place opposite Rimouski Cathedral where hundreds of fire fighters ral lied to check the blaze and prevent it from destroying the church. The building twice broke out in flames, but quick action held them under control. Today the church stood alone on a site which once was crowded by wooden homes. Early today the shivering home less sleDt as best they could in tents and any available shelter that had weathered the fire. Others shared beds with friends whose homes had escaped the inferno. Republican Wins Texas Race For Congress Seat (Continued from page One) Panhandle is still about 80 per cent Democratic." Texas' last Republican Congress man was Harry M. Wurzbach of San Antonio, who died in office on Nov. 6, 1931. Wurzback was an Episcopalian. So is the husky, green-eyed Guill. "I'm no intellectual giant and I don't have any ideas about going to the capital and changing up the government," Guill said yesterday. "But if I go up there as one smsll protest, may be the powers that be won't think they have the whole country in the bag. Maybe some of those big shots will take a look at this little segment of Texas and take warning." Decorated Fer War Valor Guill is a native of Smyrna, Tenn. His parents brought him to Texas when he was nine. As a naval officer in World War II, he was decorated for heroism and wounds in south Pacific battles. 'I csn't think of a single nice thing to say about the present ad ministration," he chuckled. During Ins campaign, he called for lower income taxes, greater economy, a "firm and consistent policy" in international affairs. In an interview, he said he's against farm subsidies but they shouldn't all be wiped out at once "It might throw our economy into chans." He doesn't "believe in coddling Communists." He's against national health insurance "I don't believe in the socializa tion of anything." Guill said he hones he gets a chsnce to vole for "Mr. Hoover's recommendations for economy in government." But, he said, "I'm not going to vote Republican or Democratic I'm going to vote Panhandle," ABOUT MOTHS ALL SUMMER...

O.k Phone 1336J Floor Covering Drainboard Tops Venetian Blinds OF THE FENCE" Senate Battle Starts Over Hot FEPC Program WASHINGTON, May S '. The long-promised battle over part of President Truman's civil rights program gets underway today. At the outset it looked like a pretty mild affair compared to the furious day-and-night Senate ses sions of the past when filibustering southerners stood off repeated at tempts to force a vote. At issue was the motion of Sen ate Democratic leader Lucas of Illinois to take up the FEPC bill legislation to create a fair em ployment practice commission en powered to forbid job discrimina tion because of color, race or creed. Lucas already has announced that he plans no "round-the-clock session" and will allow debate to run along all this week without attempting to clamp on the Sen ate's new speech limitation rule. Senator Russell (D-Ga), floor general for the group of southern ers who bitterly challenge FEPC and other civil rights measures, told a reporter, "We are ready." Russell prepared a detailed argu ment against what he calls a "rev lutionary and far-reaching meas ure" that is a "very hot political issue." Eventually Lucas or some other senator is expected to test the Sen ate rule that allows debate to be limited in order to force a vote. Under this. 64 senators or two thirds of the full membership of 96 must approve. An unofficial poll by southern Democrats was said to. indicate that the first effort to limit debate would find 59 voting to limit. 32 voting to impose no limit, and 5 absent. The House has passed an FEPC bill based on voluntary compliance only, and if any compulsory bill gets through the Senate it still would have to be adjusted with the House version.
