Fah-rreands read Two separata projects involved; one south tfrom the Junction with. Capitol iatreet and the other as PfX oz !a state highway project north ta :the city limits.- . . The proposed plan suggests widening- to 100 feet from Capitol to Hood street by acquiring 40 leet on the west side of the street. From Hood street south an entirely new right-of-way 100 feet to be acquired with a 'concrete building, a number ot residences, a church and a frame store building affected between Hood and Belmont streets at Broadway.

SUto stret--May be widened to 100 feet without affecting mas than 15 buildings. This may be accomplished by widening the north side of the street of 15th street to 21st street. From there widening: would gradually veer to south side of street in order to con nect with Jog about 165 feet east of 25th street. X. Sooth Commercial street Now wide enough for arterial pur poses from Mission street to busi ness district From Mission south the present street is 60 feet wide to Hoyt street and from to south city limits width has been insured by recent setback lines of 50 feet on either side of the center line.

The plan suggests taking right-of-way from the south side of the street to make a less hazardous in tersection at the South Commer cial street Intersection. -The plan for the development of Bush's pasture park suggests the use of a. 50-foot atrip of the park area adjacent to Mission street for automobile parking purposes.

Dixiecrat Drive HOUSTON, Tex., Aug. 11 -WP) Cheering states rights democrats, launching a national campaign-tonight, heard their presidential no minee attack the Truman civil rights program as "calling for a police state in this country." "We sound a call for a return to constitutional government in America,' Gov. J. Strom Thur mond of South Carolina said in accepting hi nomination. His vice - presidential running mate, Gov. Fielding L. Wright of Mississippi, in his acceptance speech, asserted that the principle of states rights "is the only alter native to abject subjection to the tyrSnny of dictatorship. From 14 States The states' righters, displaying markers from 14 states, cheered loudly and frequently as their can didates emphasized points in their speeches. H. O. Johnson, Coliseum man ager, estimated the crowd at 8, 000 to 9,000 persons. As the states' righters gathered . four pickets of the) Texas progressiva party ap peared briefly in front of the building. The pickets distributed leaflets listing the platform .of the pro gressives and saying "the organ ized Dixiecrats operate in what is really only a sham battle with the democrats." They moved their line of march about a block away after an un identified youngster rushed out, grabbed a sign, and began tearing it apart. They continued to dis tribute leaflets. Attacks Leglslatiea fhurmond attacked the feder-anti-poll tax bill, the anti lynching bill pending in congress; said states had a right to handle segregation by "means and meth ods that will best promote har monius relations,' and called the proposed federal fair employment practices commission "patterned after a Russian law written by Joseph Stalin about 1920.' i i Jurists Rehear Aigiiments in Tax Test Suit tThe state supreme court Wed nesday heard arguments in a state tax surplus suit for the second time. The rehearing was in a suit brought by Charles ASprague against the state tax commission to restrain transfer of surplus state income and corporate excise taxes to, the state general fund. Attorneys for the plaintiff con tested the recent supreme court split decision in favor of allowing the tax fund transfer. Sprague's contention is that the surplus can be used only to offset state prop erty taxes. The court was split 4 to) 3 in its ruling. ! A point. stressed by the plain tiffs attorneys is that the court ruling upsets the tax base by in dicating the 0 per cent increase limitation applies only to revenue raising by taxation, not to spend ing revenues already raised. The court's opinion in the sec ond hearing of the suit was not ex pected to be decided for several days. - Motorcyclist Hurt in Accident with Bus Ansel JL Raney.
