Hard rain accompanied the tor nadoes in northwest Texas and heavy rains drenched south Texas last night.

AIMOW.SMITH AUGUSTA, Ga. Wl President Eisenhower will confer here to morrow with Harold E, Stassen amid fresh Indications the United States now sees some chance for agreement with Russia on a first step toward disarmament. Mnssen, Lisenhower s disarma ment adviser, is scheduled to ar rive by plane from Washington to night. After talks with the vaca tioning President at the Augusta National Goir Club, he will return Lo London for resumption of dis armament negotiations by a U.N. subcommittee. Faster Recess Recess of the negotiations for the Easter weekend brought Stas sen to Washington Saturday for an interim report to Secretary of State Dulles and other administra tion officials. After that meeting the government put out a state ment calling for a continued "ser ious effort to reach an initial par tial agreement for a first step" toward disarmament with safe guards for inspection and control. White House press secretary .lames C. Hagerly said Dulles had recommended that Stassen make a personal report lo the President. That decision appears signifi cant for two reasons. In the first place. Dulles and Stassen obviously believe the sta tus of the London negotiations warrants Eisenhower's personal attention. Secondly, only a few weeks ago the White House announced that in the future Stassen no longer would report directly to Ihe Presi dent but to Dulles, who would keep Kisenhower advised regard ing any disarmament develop ments. Dulles snid in explanation that he and Kisenhower had agreed the situation in that field had reached a point where the State Department should have policy supervision. Important Development There was no indication at that time that Stassen would never again deal directly with Kisenhow er on disarmament. Rather, there were indications that if such deal ings took place they likely would reflect some highly Important de velopment. Hagerty said that because the London negotiations are continu ing. Stassen will hold no "full- fledged" news conference here after his session with Kisenhower but will meet with newsmen "to say what he can."

They gave Raymond marked $10 bills and watched from behind a counter while he handed the money over to one of the gang's collectors. That led to the arrest of the alleged leader of the extortion racket, John J. Gebbia, 18, and three younger boys who served as collectors. Gebbia was charged with extortion, and the three younger boys with juvenile delin quency. Raymond said the youths first approached him in April, 1956, and demanded weekly payments from' the grocery. The payments ranged from $5 to $15 at first. Recently they ran to $80 a week. Raymond said two of the gang pressed a knife to his throat on one occasion and threatened: "If you don't give us money we will kill your mother or sister."
