Tavern Control
Measures Killed
OKLAHOMA CITY td — A rebel-
lious House stomped to death two
of Gov Raymond Gary's tavern
control bills today handing the ad-
ministration its worst setback of
the session in the House
Jeering llouse members turned
down a plea by Gary's floor lead-
er and assistant Rep Jim Bul-
lard of Duncan and Glen Ham of
Danis Valley
Ham and Bullard tried futilely
to pull them out of the Revenue
and Taxation Committee headed
Ly Rep Jean Pazoureck El RP-
M - before the deadline tonight
for committee bills
They took the floor to plead
for the measures after the com-
mittee adjourned while in the midst
of considering the measures Un-
der a House motion adopted ear-
lier this week all bills still in
commlttee at the end of today vill
be stricken
One of the administration bills
would have given county judges
discretionary powers to deny or
revoke beer licenses if they thought
they would prove harmful to the
public peace health or safety
The other would prohibit minors
from selling or dispensing beer

1 ALIENS
It's pretty well understood that
1 the government has the right to
cxclutie or expel aliens Every soy-
ereign nation has the power to
forbid the entrance of foreigners
NI ithin its dominions or to admit
them only in such cases and upon
such conditions as it may see fit
' to prescribe
1 We sometimes get a little peev-
ed at some countries that put up
iron or silk curtains around them-
selves It looks like they're trying
Ito hide something But nobody
qiiestions the right of these cowl-
' tries to let in or put out anybody
i' IN ho isn't one of their citizens
Insofar as our country is con-
cerned Mr Justice Reed of the
Supreme Court of the United
States said: When legally admit-
ted they (aliens) have come at
the Nation's invitation as visitors
or permanent residents to share
with us the opportunities and satis-
factions of our land As such visi-
tors and foreign nationals they are
entitled in their persons and ef-
fects to the protection of our laws
So long however- as aliens fail to
obtain anti maintain citizenship by
naturalization they remain subject
to the pONNIsr of Congress to
expel them
The case in which Justice Reed
7 rondo that statement involved the
attempted deportation of alleged
Communists In that same case
the Supreme Court upheld the right
of the government to hold aliens in
question without bail It made it
-: quite plain that there is no tuber
ent right to bail in deportation pro

RAINS DELAY WORK
BETHEL (Special) — Recent
heavy rains have put local resi-
dents behind schedule in filch
farm and yard work
' stamp which is required by the
federal government of any per-
son who sells liquor
Legality of the proposal probab-
ly ‘vill be attacked if the mea-
sureis ever voted into law
It NN as learned here today that
federal liquor stamps are held
by operators of 35 Lawton and Fort
Sill places including the Fort Sill
Officers' Club and the NCO Open
Mess The Fort Sill clubs are on
federal property and therefore are
not subject to Oklahoma prohibi-
tion laws
Records showed that one Law-
ton man has three liquor stamps
for that number of places here
and another man has stamps for
two places but otherwise the
stamps are 'held by individuals for
their home addresses or by private
clubs
Liquor stamps were issued by
the U S Internal Revenue bureau
in Oklahoma City to 614 persons !
and clubs in 60 counties between
! July 1 1956 and April 30 19571
In addition two stamps for whole
siding liquor were issued in Mayes
! and Muskogee counties

and Fort Sill retail sale of liquor !

DALLAS (I:P1 — Dallas bailed

Texas and western Louisiana
The death toll from 13 days of
tornadoes cloudbursts and floods
in Texas rose to 20 Three hun-
dred persons were flooded out of
their homes in East Texas
A thousand oil wells whose com-
bined output is worth millions of
dollars a week Were under water
in East Texas and most of them
'were out of commission until the
flood subsides

Cloudburst Hit Dallas
A 302-inch cloudburst of the
type that caused a $6500000 flood
along the Trinity River a week
ago hit Dallas Vedneaday night
It rained all night and was still
drizzling today
Police in boats and squad ears
I rescued 73 to 100 persons from
their flooded homes and others
fled on their own Forty-three
streets in Dallas and 10 roads in
Dallas county were cut by the
floods
The new floods in Dallas were
caused by the downpour suddenly
overpowering the drainage system
and not by the Trinity River as
were the worst of the floods last
week
Assistant Police Chief Jesse
Curry said most Dallas streets
were passable today and that the
flood was rapidly draining away
Most of those driven out of their
!homes returned to mop their sod-
den floors and dry their furniture
Showers Predicted --
"It all depends on whether we
Igt t too much rain too fast" Cur-
ry said "If it doesn't rain too
hard the flood will run down to-
day" Showers were predicted over
East West and north central Tex-
as through Friday The weather
bureaus at both Dallas and Shreve-
port La said the outcome of the
floods depends on how hard the
rains are
At Longview and Gladewater
Tex in the heart of the Sabine
flood in East Texas the river
reached its crest and subsided a
few inches Rains in the head
waters of the Sabine could send
a new crest past those cities The
crest at Gladewater was 403 feet
about three feet under the record
flood of 195

isiana city in major danger of
flooding from the Sabine the
eauge read 345 feet Deweeeme
1Tex near the mouth of the Sa-

gency to prepare for wholesale
evacuation if it is endangered
Some Rivers Fall
The levels of the Red Little

Sulphur and Cypress rivers in
northwest Louisiana registered
falls at some points and rises at
others depending upon the size
of rains along their teibutaries
All were bankful or nearly so
The main Texas rivers that were
in flood stage — the Brazos Trin-
ity and Colorado — were running
down and the danger along them
!appeared about over unless there
1
I are more heavy rains Low areas
'along their mouths were flooded
however
The Trinity at Dallas which re-
!ceded Wednesday to 2983 feet
!went on a swift rise The crest
from Wednesday night's downpour
however was not expected to get
!above 31 feet which would be six
' feet less than last week's crest
When Will Lake
Run Into Canal?
A city-wide contest was °pencil
this morning in the office of Mayor
C R Ellsworth for cityans to win
more than $100 worth of prizes for
guessing when surplus water will
begin flowing form Lake Elmer
Thomas through a canal to Lake
Law-tonka
The contest titled ''Drops of
Life" was originated to promote
interest in the diversion canal
which was built last year to take
overflow water from Lake Elmer
Thomas
Miss Maxene McGowan mayor's
secretary said more than a dozen
entries had been dlivered to the
mayor's office by noon today and
several persons had requested in-
formation by telephone No mail
entries had been received today be-
cause the contest started only this
morning
Level of Lake Elmer Thomas at
noon today was 10 inches below the
old spillway level at which level
the surplus water will be diverted
