When the man behind pointed to the sign, Russell replied, "Who says?" The man was Police Inspector William G. Martin and he showed his badge. "Anyone can have a tin badge," Russell said. In back of Martin was Police Inspector J.C.R. McDonald, who also showed his badge. Then all three got off and went to Southern Station, where Russell posted $25 bail for smoking on a public con veyance and snuffed out his cigar ette. . I LAND REFORM GUATEMALA W Guatema la's military government has de creed a new land reform law. The Junta said it will continue to split large land holdings among peas ants but will directly control the process. The 3-week-old govern ment of Col. Carlos Castillo Ar mas announced this measure Mon day night. Close Texas Election DALLAS, Tex. Wl County Demo' cratio executive committees meet today to canvass the primary elec tion returns that indicate runoff elections for governor and- other Texas offices. The runoff will come Aug. 26 after the State Democratic Execu tive Committee in turn makes a canvass Aug. 9 of all primary re turns, district ana state. Meanwhile. Gov. Allan Shiven led Atty. Ralph Yarborough by 650.019 votes to 632.040 in latest returns announced last night by the unofticial Texas Election Bur eau. Two lesser candidates Arlon B. Davis of Dallas, with 16,062 votes, and J. J. Holmes of Austin, with 19,538 combined to force the runoff. Candidates must have a clea: majority of all votes to win. The campaign for governor, now narrowed to Yarborough and Shiv ers, promised to be a bare knuckled, dog-eat-doc fight. Shivers led the Texas Demo cratic party organization Into the Republican camp in 1052 and was the moving force that put Texas in 'the Republican presidential election column. Yarborough sup ported Democrat Adlal Stevenson. In other results that became ap parent ns the final vote counts trickled in: 1. It was apparent that U .S. Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson and Rep. Sam Rayburn had won renomina tion by heavy majorities. 2. Two congressmen. Represen tatives Ken Regan of Midland and Wingate Lucas of Grapevine, in the populous Fort Worth district, apparently were defeated. Regan had not conceded defeat to State Sen. J. T. Rutherford of Odessa, who had a slim 169-vote lead out of more than 50,000. But Lucas al ready had wired congratulations to Mayor Jim Wright of Weatherford, who had a 3-to-2 majority out of about 60,000 votes. 3. The solid power of George Parr, political boss in south Texas, apparently had been cracked, tem porarily at least. His candidate for district judge won apparent elec tion but his district attorney seemed lost and his nephew.

HANOI, Indochina i The French and the Vietmlnh ordered firing stopped in part of Indochina today 7 years, 7 months and 8 days after Moscow-trained Ho Chi Minn's rebel legions attacked Hanoi. The truce negotiated at the Ge neva conference became effective in North Viet Nam and its rich Ike Studies New Watch Tariff Bill WASHINGTON Wl Heavy pres sure to rirotect a key industry in the production of delicate wartime Instruments bore down on Presi dent Eisenhower today as he con sidered whether to order his first major tariff Increase on imported watch movements. The Tariff Commission has rec ommended a 50 per cent increase in tariff rates to protect the highly skilled domestic watchmaking trace. Scores of other industries, inter- ested in their own protection irom lower-cost foreign imports, waited with interest. Lead and zinc pro ducers also have a tariff increase bid pending on Eisenhower's desk. Foreign governments were con cerned whether the movement for free world trade already jarred by Congress' inaction on Eisen hower's three-year plan of grad ual tariff reduction might receive another setback. Although the U.S. watch indus try is comparatively small, con sumers have a stake too. Import ers estimated the tariff boost, if approved in full, would increase the cost of an Imported watch by $3.50 to $5. Since he took office Eisenhower has turned down Tariff Commis sion proposals for higher duties on briar pipes, shears and scissors and groundflsh fillets. He approved in part a recommendation for in creasing the duty of alsike clover seed. . But the pressure for higher tar- ifs on Swiss watch movements has been built mainly on claims the domestic watchmaking craft is es sential to national defense. The In dustry was the major wartime producer of precision instruments and timing devices. A Senate Armed Services sub committee, after hearing military officials testify to the "unique" skills of the watch and clock trade, reported on Saturday that the in dustry must be kept "alive and vital." Domestic companies have com plained that rising imports from Switzerland, where watchmakers Red River delta at 8 a.m. (8 p.m., EST), yesterday. The armistice is scheduled to spread gradually ' over the four other sectors of the war-ravaged Southeast Asia land, becoming ef fective on Aug. 1 in Central Viet Nam, Aug. 6 in Laos, Aug. 1 in Cambodia and Aug. 11 in South Viet Nam. Hanoi's big guns roared sporadi cally throughout the night before the cease-fire became effective and the Vietmlnh kept up pressure on outlying posts manned by Viet namese units. In recent days the Reds have concentrated on such posts in an apparent effort to en courage desertions and prevent the native troops from moving south with the departing French. NO REPORTS There were no early reports. however, of any large-scale fights in tne last hours before the truce lime. - There was no certainty that the killing and wounding had stopped in North Viet Nam. Tills was a cease-fire, not a signed peace. Mines sowed along the roads and paths and in the rice fields may take their toll for months. No one could be certain that all the thousands of Communist-led Vietmlnh guerrillas or all the ir regulars loyal to the French-supported Viet Nam government had received the stop-fighting word or would obey it. Many observers believe It will be a matter of only two to four years before communism engulfs all of Viet Nam and perhaps Laos and Cambodia as well. ELECTION'S The cease-fire agreement pro vides for internationally supervised elections in July 1956 to unify Viet Nam. The French commander in the North, Gen, Rene Cogny, said recently he believed South Viet Nam could be defended militarily against the reds, but he only shrug ged when asked about the political prospects. Many French civilian are paid less, are damaging the market for American watchworks and causing layoffs which are scat. terlng the trained working force. Importers contend the watch in dustry is not the sole maker of instruments and timers, noting that camera producers furnished them in World War II. They, also argue that if Switzerland's dollar- earning exports are reduced by the higher tariff wall, the Swiss will be able to buy fewer Ameri can farm products and manufac tured items. Sales Rentals folding WHIIl CHAIR! officials here share Cogny's doubts of the future. With the cease-fire, Cocnv turned his effort to the mammoth task oi moving his thousands of French and Vietnamese troops from their shrunken sector of the northern delta to the southern holding left to the Viet Nam government head ed by ex-Emperor Bao Dai. The Vietmlnh were expected to take control rapidly of the territory netng evacuated. WITHDRAWAL The first phases of the military withdrawal began with the armi stice hour. Companies began fall ing bacs to their battalion head quarters areas in preparation for a progressive withdrawal to the port of Haiphong. By Aug. 11 Cogny must have soldiers and civilians being eva cuated from north, west and south of Hanoi massed in a lu-mlle zone around the North Indochina cap ital, once the official seat of French power In the Far East. They must be out of the Hanoi area within B0 days from today. The marchers to the sea must be past Hai Duong, midway oil the route, 20 days after that. The eva cuees have 300 days from today to qua their Haiphong beachhead, destined to be the last French loot hold in North Viet Nam. Not all the Vietnamese troops will be moving south. The French admitted yesterday that a number oi tne native soldiers were pulling out of weir posts and disappear ing, presumably returning to their Police Seek Animal Killer BALTIMORE ur-Police In north wester Baltimore are seekikng a pervert who apparently delights in strapping dogs to a board and kill ing them by slashing with a knife. Since last April six dead dogs have been found mutilated in that manner, in the same block. The latest was found yesterday. homes in hopes the Vietmlnh would forgive and forget. FRENCH PLANS French officials also pushed plans to move hundreds of thou sands of French and Vietnamese civilians southward, as many as want to get away. They planned to begin a combined sea and air lift tomorrow and predicted it would be taking 5,000 persons daily away from Hanoi and Haiphong by mid August. . It was an hour of triumph for Ho Chi Mlnh and the Reds, an hour of bitter defeat for the French and the anti-Communist world. Under the terms of the Geneva agreement, Ho and his Vietmlnh get control of almost 78,000 square miles of Vict Nam's total 127,380. In that northern portion live be tween li and 12 million people. Each side had paid a heavy price for the result. Though the French officially put the total of military casualties on both sides at around 320,000, unofficial sources figured them at close to 800,000 dead, wounded or missing. Of these, 173.000 were French Un ion Vietnamese troops. The Viet mlnh dead and wounded were es timated at 600.000. CIVILIAN DEATHS There was no estimate of civilian casualties. In money and materials, the war cost France and the United States some 10 billion dollars. The ceasefire will be supervised by a commission made up of India. Poland and Canada, with India as chairman.
