MURRAY REMOVES TOLL SPAN GUARD Governor Reduces Patrol 0". Free Bridge as War Nears End. By the Associated Press. OKLAHOMA CITY, July 30- ——The Denison-Durant Toll Bridge over Red | River, center of a controversy between Texas and Oklahoma in which boh States called out military detachments | in support of their contentions, tcday was free of martial law rule. | Acting with the suddenness that had marked his earlier maneuvers in the | “war of bridges,” Gov. W. H. “Alfalfa Bill” Murray late vesterday withdrew | the National Guard from the Oklahoma aporoach of the bridge. The Governor, “for the sake of econ- | omy.” also ordered reduced to 15 men and 3 officers the Guard at the Okla- homa end of the free bridge paralleling the toll structure. The patrol was es- tablished to prevent interference with traffic. | Immediately after withdrawal of Guardsmen from the toll bridge em- ! ployes of the owners, the Red River Bridge Co.. began preparing the road- | bed for traffic. “I guess I have the free bridge open and it will not be necessary to main- tain the Guard at the toll bridge any | longer,” Gov. Murray said. | D | wi Cary Randolph of Upperville, Va., | accomplished young horsewoman who | MISS DOROTHY WILLING RANDOLPH, nughur of Mr. and Mrs. Archibald an ill attend the Saratoga races. —Bachrach Photo.

Special Dispatch to The Btar. | LYON PARR, Va., July 30.—Installa- tion of a suspende 'Stcp-Go™ auto- | matic traffic light at the interseetion of | Pershing drive and Washington avenue, is advocated in & resolution unani- mously adopted by the Lyon Park Clti- | zens' Association, in the community house last night. The resolution points out that the present system of directing traffic at | this busy point is unsatisfactory und‘ steps should be taken by the county | authorities for improvement. | Criticism was directed by the reso- | lution at the present boulevard stop signs. It states that the signs are lo- cated at all four of the interseations, | resulting in much confusion as to the right of way. At times cars stop at all intersections and vehicular_drivers are | at a loss to know who should make the | crossing first, the resolution states. | Then again, the resolution continues, | the signs are hidden from view of ap- proaching traffic during the day by parked cars and cannot be seen at night | because of there being no light at the | crossing. | - Ice Cream Festival Planned ’ FAIRFAX, Va., July 30 (Special) — The Volunteers' class of the Fairfax Southern Methodist Church is planning to hold an ice cream festival Saturday night on the court house lawn.
