jutage of the contact service be-
ing furnished El Reno and the sur-

Hogan reports that there has
en some decline In the number
1 local veterans who have been
vailing themselves of this service,
jff the decline continues it will be
ecessary to discontinue the ser-

Hogan points to the fact that

:lalms for service-connected dis-
abilities can best bt handled by
ipeclally trained persons and that
the earlier after discharge these

Recent Case Cited
The contact service reports that
"m many occasions, tn talking to
Veterans or their dependents, in-
formation of vital importance to

A recent case cited was a widow

charged. The widow was Inquiring
ibout terminal leave pay and In the
course of the conversation was
isked by the contact representative
f the widow's pension had been
awarded and she replied she had
lot filed for the pension because
he did not believe herself eligible.
The result was that the widow
lied a claim on behalf of herself
and minor daughter and Is now re-
ceiving much needed benefits.
"Cases of this kind are not every-
lay occurences, but if it had not

Pa rent-Teacher association.
Safety practices for school chil-
dren, with particular reference to
bicycle riding, were discussed by
Earl Janssen, trooper of the Okla-

sized Importance of proper signal-

tion of all bicycles.
What Should Be Done oil School
Finance" was the subject dis.ussed
by Rupert Fogg, member or the
E! Reno board of education. Stat-
ing that Oklahoma now ranks 37th
In education in the United States,

Games at Dallas
May Be at End
Home-and-Home
Series Proposed
NORMAN, Oct. 15 —It ap-
peared today that the annual Okla-
homa-Texas football game at the
Texas state fair in Dallas would
soon be a bygone memory.
Students here circulated petitions
today demanding cancellation of
the Dallas gridiron spectacle. Stu-
dent Senator Gerald Edwards said
3.000 Sooners had signed hl6 petition.
Dr. Qeorge L. Cross, president of
the university, said telegrams and
letters from alumni "poured Id*
demanding an end to the Dallas
game.
Sentiment la Clear
"Overwhelming sentiment of
students, alumni and state officials
In favor of taking the game out of
Dallas leads me to wonder if It would
be possible to play there again next
year,” Cross laid.
When questioned about the pop
bottle-throwing Incident at last
Saturday’s game (Which Oklahoma
lost, 14-34), Cross said the episode
was an "Illustration of what I
mean.”
“I don't see how we can go back
to Dallas now,” he concluded.
Cross renewed his proposal made
two months ago to Texas officials.
The O. U. prexy suggested a honie-
and-home series In August because
of inadequate hotel accommodations
and other difficulties that have
steadily mounted.
Regents To Confer
Cross said the matter would be
placed before the university’s board
of regents and athletic councils at
their next meetings.
The university business office an-
nounced yesterday it had received
$44,404.70 as O. U.'s share of Sat-
urday's gate receipts.
The Daily Texan, published on
the Austin campus, editorialized
against the continuation of the Dal-
las game yesterday. When Cross
was told what the Texan had to say
about the game, he sai<f he agreed
with the editorial.
The Texas student newspaper
pointed out that expansion of
Memorial stadium in Austin would
make it more profitable to schedule
the gamc In that field.
Savannah Hit
By Hurricane
And High Waves
Winds of Gale Force
Expected To Reach
150 Miles Inland
SAVANNAH. Oa, O.t. 15-(A>-
A hurricane sweeping In from the
Atlantic lashed Savannah and its
environs with 80 to ivCHnlle-an-
hour winds today and moved on
across Georgia, losing force rap-
idly.
Towering waves whipped up by
the wind battered low-lying beach
areas and high tides caused some
flooded streets and roads along the
Carollna-Oeorgla coast.
No casualties were reported here,
but an unidentified Negro man was
crushed to death by a falling tree
near Charleston, S. C.
Winds of gale force were expect-
ed to reach Inland 150 miles before
subsiding.
Limited Damage Reported
First reports Indicated limited
property damage, but the national
guard said Chatham airport had
been hard hit. Several hangars
there were said to have caved in.
At least two C-47s belonging to the
national guard were destroyed.
U.S. highway 80 into Savannah
was still open, but was littered
v ith fallen trees. Worst damage in
Savannah appeared to be uprooted
trees and smashed windows. The
brick front of the Rolllnson Engi-
neering company collapsed into Bay
street in the downtown section.
Tides Pile Over Wall
The hurricane, whl h split off
the tropical storm which moved
across Florida and out Into the At-
lantic last Sunday, passed over the
Georgia coast between 6:30 and 7
a. m. Hunter field reported 95-mile
gusts when the anaemometer blew
away.
Tides were piling over the sea-
wall at Savannah Beach and the
weather bureau said further high
tides were expected to inundate
two-thirds of Tybee island, on
which Savannah Beach Is located.

Heading South.
Dixie Republicans
Get Advance Notice
WASHINGTON. Oct. 15—(>P)—
Dixie Republicans had advance no-
tice today that the presidential
candidates are coming on an open
hunt for support among the 200-
odd delegates a dozen traditionally
D< inocratic states will send to the
1148 GOP convention.
Harold E. Stassen announced
that he is heading south in No-
vember for speeches and confer-
ences in Little Rook, Ark., Dallas,
New Orleans, Gulfport, Miss., St.
Jeters burg, Fla., and Orlando, Fla.
Bis move may be matched soon by
a decision by Senator Robert Taft
{Republican, Ohio) to travel In the
lame direction.
Taft generally is conceded strong
support among the southern dele-
gates. Ba.keis said he can be
counted on to try to oflset Stas-
AM** attempts to break into this
area, which will furpish about one-
fifth of those eligible to vote on
the nomination of a presidential
candidate at next June’s Philadel-
phia convention.
The Ohio senator obviously is

votes to help boost his total in the

Higher Prices
On Meat Noted
For Past Year
Increases Recorded
In Major Cities
Since End of OPA
BY UNITED PRESS
The price of roundsteak has risen
an average of 30 cents a pound in
the year since price controls were
removed, a price survey In repre-
sentative cities showed today.
The average Increase on four
selected cuts of meat—roundsteak.
rolled rib roast, leg of lamb and
T-bone steak—was about 22 cents a
pound, the survey showed.
The price check was made In
seven cities—New York, Pittsburgh,
Detroit, Cleveland, Atlanta, Oa.,
Minneapolis and Columbus. Ohio.
Price ceilings were finally and
permanently removed from meat
Oct. 15, 1946—a year ago today.
Comparisons Disputed
The survey, conducted by United
Press, showed that the price of
rolled rib roast advanced an aver-
age of 20 cents In the seven cities.
The average price of leg of lamb
Increased 15 Vs cents, and T-bone
steak rose more than 24 cents a
pound.
The American. Meat institute,
which represents the nation's meat
packers, said, however, that com-
parisons between present prices and
OPA celling failed to take Into ac-
count tlie price of meat in the
black market during OPA.
"You can't very well compare no
hamburger at all at 27 cents a
pound with hamburger which you
can walk into a store and buy for
40 cents,” a spokesman said.
Sales Volumes Compared
A spokesman for the Cleveland
Retail Meat Dealers association
said that most of the group's 1,000
members are selling less meat than
they did a year ago, although In a
very few neighborhoods the sales
volume has increased.
Retailers In New York presented
a contrasting picture, saying that
they have been selling more meat
than they did when OPA ceilings
were in effect. The estimated In-
crease ranged from 10 to 18 per-
cent. *
Butchers at Minneapolis said that
they are taking in more money
than they did a year ago-, but that
their margin of profit also has
fallen. They said the markup on
meat during the OPA period was
about 30 percent, but that today it
averages around 20 percent. Many
said they were selling considerably
less meat than they did a year ago.
Crash Occurs
On Overpass
Extensive property damage was
caused in an automobile crash
which occurred on the railway over-
pass on U. S. highways 66 and 81 at
the south end of Rock Island ave-
nue at 9 a. m. today. Paul O. Scott,
state highway patrolman, reported.
Beshim Ishek Dikmen. 33, of
Tulsa, traveling north on an inside
lane, of the four-lane highway,

the outside lane when a truck in

pulled to the left to pass an auto-
mobile traveling ahead of the truck.
In the congestion which ensued.
Dikmen attempted to go between
two vehicles and crashed into the
curb on the overpass, causing his
