When the man behind pointed to
the sign, Russell replied, "Who

The man was Police Inspector

"Anyone can have a tin badge,"
Russell said.
In back of Martin was Police

also showed his badge. Then all

LAND REFORM

creed a new land reform law. The

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. Sher

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

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.

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.

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

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.

ing spaces downtown. With ball-joint front suspension, it's the best car
in its class for stable riding and smooth cornering ability ...You'll say
it handles like a sports carl With the new V-161 engine it has the big
power-per-pound you need for hill-topping and stepping away from
traffic tieups. It's 28 more powerful than ever before, yet even more
economical! 5 power options give you a fingertip control that takes the
pension ouf of traffic driving! And there's even fine performance in
Mercury's clean-cut styling no wind-resisting fins or bulges either
to slow the car down or date it a few years from now. Those years are
important too! 91 of all Mercurys ever built for America are still
