From Campaign
ForRe
WASHINGTON, May
'Rep. Martin Dies of Texas bowed
out of the political arena today
and his withdrawal is expected to
mean the end of the' house com
mittee on un-American activities
which he piloted ; through six
'A stormy years. ':
Dies announced . at Beaumont,
Tex, that he would not seek re
election to congress, because of ill
healthjand a desire to return to
private business. -j
, , The CIO political action com
vmittee, headed, by Sidney Hill
man, had marked Dies down for
r. defeat On . May , in the repre
.v sentatives home county,, a demo
cratic county convention domin
ated by the Refinery Employes
union (CIO) denounced Dies as a
' demagogue. Dies has charged that
the political action committee was
! raising a huge fund to beat him.
Judge J. M. Combs, who recent
!; ly resigned as justice of the ninth
?t court of civil appeals, announced
this week his candidacy for con-
sresa ooDosinc Dies. He said he
knew nothing of reports that cer-
tain Interests were raising large
funds to swing the election, but
said that if they were true "there
' isn't a decent" man or woman in
this district who wouldn't resent
. ; it. In east Texas we've always
'' done our own roting.
Dies made no reference to these
developments in his announce
ment today although he acknow
ledged in effect that he faced a
hard campaign if he was to win.
Saying that a throat disorder
would prevent him from public
speaking for two or three months,
he added: j
i "Under those circumstances, I
cannot conduct the kind of cam
paign necessary to properly , pre
sent issues and facts to the. peo

Dedicated ' "To Bill, who typifies
every student, alumnus and fac

Perhaps it might better be
termed a series of letters. Each
division sheet is gold, its artwork
a simple letter to Dear Bill.!
If to those of us whose high
school annual days are long gone
by the book has a nostalgic ap
peal, what doesn't it mean to Dear

vain attempt to save the vital oil

perately need to meet the com
ing invasion' from the west. ': ;;'
' The communique of the US
strategic air forces said simply
that f"ttronjr enemy fishier re- -slstance

that their" combats with the Ger
man defenders were more vicious
than any in which they ever had
participated. , " , . -
In t spite of this tremendous
opposition the American air-.
men plunged through success
folly and saw their bombs drop
witncwhat the communique de
scribed as "good results' en the
assigned targets.
Besides the strategic success
against the oil plants, the bomb
ers and fighters dealt the beleag
uered vluftwaffe its heaviest blow
since 178 nazis were shot down in
the March 8 assault on Berlin. -
Of I the 15 German planes
destroyed today, bomber gun
ners accounted . for 7 Si . -. and
fighter pilots V ; ivfe ;
Thel American attack also hit
an aircraft repair plant and rail
way yards at Zwickau, south of
Leipzig. " j '
This assault, a sudden switch
from the repeated attacks against
rail yards near the invasion coast,
topped the. 28th consecutive day of
the ahies all-out" air offensive.
Altogether more' than 3000 Brl
tish-based planes took part in the
day's ..operations and dropped;
total of at least 3500 tons of

which will eventually hover

plained. - T .
Thirty years of service would
be required for retirement at 60.
Widows would draw the pension
or e portion of it, depending
