Plan to Put
Phones on Farms
Washington, May 7 IIP) House
leaders .ire hunting for a spot
on the p'ogram next week for
a plan in'ended to put more tel
ephones on the farms.
A bill Is ready. It would let
the rural electrification adminis
tration make loans to build up
telephone service.
"I think we can put it across,"
Rep Poage (D., Tex.) told a re
porter. "If not next week, then
sometime the week after."
Poage is author of the bill. He
said republicans and democrats
on the agriculture committee ap
proved it unanimously and that
Speaker Rayburn wants to work
it into the house program right
away. The senate has not acted
on the proposal.
"There will be efforts to kill
it by amendment," Poage said.
"I've been told the telephone
people are pretty active against
it and that somebody will have
an amendment that there can
be no duplitation of existing fa
cilities. That would make the
program unworkable."

Flood Follows
Texas Tornado
Lubbock, Tex., May 7 W
One woman was dead and scores
were marooned by a flood at
Lubbock, Tex., today as rescuers
at Sundown, 40 miles to the
west, toiled through . soaked
wreckage in a grim search for
tornado victims.
The tornado ripped through
the north edge of Sundown last
night, killing at least two per
sons and injuring at least four
others. But three to five other
persons were reported killed by
the roaring twister and the hunt
for bodies continued.
Another tornado struck near
Morton, Tex., also in the high
plains country, destroying two
homes, farm buildings and
equipment.
A torrential rain and hall-
storm, measuring more than
five inches, brought Lubbock
the unprecedented flood today.
Water rose into homes, rescue
operations were being pressed
business was paralyzed.
Mrs. Ira Duke was electrocut
ed when she pulled a light cord
after water rose into her house.
The flood was rain water
there are no creeks or rivers in
the area. Boats were being used
In rescue operations. Water rose
in the business district and es
pecially In the lower residential
districts which spread In all di
rections from the business sec
tion. The rain fell all night, b u t
stopped today and at mid-morning
the flood was subsiding. All
hiRhways to Lubbock were cut
off by high water.
Columbia Districts
Report Flood Plans
Portland, May 7 (VP) The army
engineers said today that all the
lower Columbia drainage dis
tricts now have reported on their
plans to handle the river's spring
freshet.
Col. O. E. Walsh, Portland dis
trict engineer, who earlier
charged neglect in some of the
districts, said that inspections of
all dikes are continuing.
"In general," he said, "the
drainage districts are now do
ing everything within their
means to bring their dikes and
levees up to standard for the
coming high water."
Streets of Shanghai
Merchandise Mart
Shanghai, May 7 W) The
sidewalks of New York are cel
ebrated in song, but you ought
to se the sidewalks of Shang
hai. Always teeming with ped
dlers, they have become the
largest merchandise "counter"
in the world as normally sal
aried workers try to sell the
goods they have received as
wages.
Due to collapse of the nation
alist currency, few bosses had
cash, so they paid off in what
ever they could get.
Imagine a California cannery
worker being paid in canned
peaches or a Massachusetts tex
tile mill hand being paid In
cloth. Then imagine these
workers spreading these wares
on Market street in San Fran
cisco or alt over Boston Com
mons to try to sell enough to
feed their families.
That's the sort of thing that's
going on in Shanghai on a tre
mendous scale.

Right Prevails
Says Truman
Washington, May 7 CAT Pres
ident Truman said today his 10
years as a senator convinced
him that citizens who agree
with a member of congress
don't give a damn whether you
know it or not."
Mr. Truman spoke informally
at a luncheon given In honor of
Senator Vandenberg (R., Mich.)
and House Speaker Rayburn
(D., Tex.).
Rayburn and Vandenberg
had Just received the annual
Collier's congressional awards
for distinguished service to the
nation in 1948.
Mr. Truman said he hopes
citizens who agree with what
their members of congress are
doing will tell them so. And,
he added, he hopes the legisla
tors will do what they think is
right.
"Right does and will prevail,"
he said.
His remarks -came after sev
eral speakers had mentioned
difficulties experienced by le
gislators who receive complaints
in their mail from persons who
disagree with them but never
hear from constituents who do
agree with them.
Mr. Truman said legislators
are chosen by the people who
expect them to find out facts
and then make up their minds
what is right.
He said he hopes that out of
the magazine awards will grow
a responsibility on the part of
constituents to members of con
gress. '
He said he also hopes there
will be responsibility on the
part of the members to do what
they think is right even though
this sometimes may not be in
accord with what some of their
constituents feel.
