Hundreds Chant Hymn A crowd of hundreds, mainly women and girls, chanted the hymn "This Is My Story" and many wept as Graham came ashore from the liner Liberte waving his hat from the bow of a tender and shouting "God bless you."

More Strict Gasoline Rationing Seen in Event of New World War Washington U.R) Govern ment experts said today that if the United States gets into an other major war civilians can expect gasoline rationing to be just as tough and maybe tough er than in World War II. Some people have wondered if gasoline might not be more plentiful in the next emergency, what with jet planes being able Ward's Spring Sale Book Being Mailed Price reductions averaging about 10 per cent with many prices cut as much as 25 per cent on a wide assortment of personal and household needs, offera5tr"ong -price appeal in a colorful mid-spring sale book being mailed by Montgomery Ward & Co. today, according to J.

Taxation of Timber Subject of Meeting County assessor and state tax commission representatives will meet with timber owners at 7:30 p.m. today for a discussion of timber taxation, appraisal and equalization. The meeting will be in the courthouse auditorium. to use such low-grade fuels as kerosene. Not so, said the ex perts. Government planners figure military demands for petroleum products in a new global con flict probably would be even greater than in World War II. For one thing, American Air Force and Navy jets use fuels based on gasoline, rather than kerosene like the British. And even kerosene comes from the same source as gasoline crude oil so that its large-scale use would indirectly affect gasoline supplies. The experts said jets eat a lot more fuel than the propeller driven jobs of the last war. And they said it takes still more gas oline and oil to drive cargo planes,, tanks, trucks, gun car riers, ships, and the .thousands of other fuel-operated imple ments of war. Eventual Conversion It's going to be a long time, for example, before the Navy converts to atom power. It's Republicans Claim Tax Cut Plan Licked Washington (U.R) Republi cans claim they have licked a Democratic plan to cut income taxes $20 a person next year. Democrats refused to concede de feat but wouldn't make any vic tory claims either. The tax cut was approved by the House and rejected by the Senate as an amendment to a corporation-excise tax extension bill. Its fate rested today with a Senate-House Conference Com mittee. The conferees must come up with agreement before April 1 to prevent a scheduled drop in taxes on corporations and on liquors, cigarettes, gasoline and automobiles. We Are House Cleaning Too!

Officials said distributing gas oline to civilians takes man power and equipment. In the event of a full-scale war, they said it would be advisable to shift as much of this to defense projects as possible, again cut ting into civilian supplies. The Defense Department spokesman said it would take some days to put a new ration ing program into effect after a declaration of national emer gency. During this time civilians would be able to get supplies from normal sources.

NICHOLS United Presf Feature Writer Lisa uutiki "Washington (U.R) I was out for my morning swim in the pool at the Shamrock Hotel in Hous ton, Tex., and under 10 feet of water whom did I bump in to but Mort Cooper, the former right handed pitch er of the St. Louis Cardi nals. "Glad I ran into you," Ol' Mort said, narman Micnois "I would like to sell you an A-bomb shelter like they probably will be using at that new housing develop ment called Sharpstown here in Houston." It turned out that Mort is still in there pitching, but now he is is a bigger game. He is vice president of a bomb shelter man ufacturing company which dear ly loves his name and reputa tion. Mort has the developers of the new $400,000,000 housing project interested in something that may add up to a bomb cel lar in each of the 25,000 units of the new project. Best part of it, said the big Texan, is that folks in the devel opment can install a shelter for 75 cents a month. The shelters, according to the former hurler, are being built, with the approval of the govern ment and "no home should be without one." Mort said that one of these hide-aways can be installed in eight hours, which maybe or maybe not would be fast enough. The old right-hander dog-paddled away and up came another old pal in the swimming pool, there was T. C. (Buddy) Bren nan Jr., who isn't built like a Texan, but talks like one. He looked pretty sharp in his white swimming gear. Texas, he let me know, does n't go in for anything cheap, ex cept when it comes to taking care of Texans. Like in this Sharpstown housing develop ment where you can get three bedrooms with roses all around for $12,000. "But guess what we've got planned for the poor man's golf er," said Buddy. "For $20 a year a whole family can belong to our country clubs. And not only that, we will have fine eating facilities at restaurant prices." Buddy Brennan is rightly proud of his boss, Frank Sharp, since Mr. S. has made our lad general manager of a gigantic operation. "Know what that fellow did?" Buddy said, puffing to the sur face in the pool. "Well, see, we were starting this housing thing, which eventually will bed down 87,500 people, and Mr. Sharp locked around and didn't see any trees. "So what does he do? He goes around the corner a ways and buys himself a small forest. He pulls up all of these trees and transpants them in Sharpstown. Get the idea how we operate in Texas?" ence he attended University of Oregon, majoring in interior de sign. He has three years of mili tary service with the Air Force.
