G. Mc- Gavran, dean of the UNC School of Public Health. The UNC School of Public Health is one of 10 institutions in the United States approved to of fer advanced training to special ists in public health and preven tive medicine. The students, residents of North Carolina, 2$ other states of the country, and of 18 foreign coun tries have completed graduate level training in one of the nine specialized fields of public health practice, according to Dr. McGav ran. They are now qualified to staff key positions in state and local public health departments, voluntary health agencies and in hospitals, health centers and a va olons bave WASHINGTON (AP) Congress wrapped up and sent to the White House today its first big money bill of the year, and Sen. Lyndon Johnson (D-Tex) proclaimed: "We have saved $30,363,000 for the taxpayers in the first of the 15 annual appropriations." The $3,884,927,000 bill, to fin- ance the Treasury and Post Of fice departments and the' tax court, j was $80,363,000 smaller than Presi dent Eisenhower had asked. His newest appeals in support of thev budget, voiced in a speech to the nation Tuesday night and in his news conference Wednes day, developed little if any effec tive response. Other bills nearing final action are carrying cuts averaging 8 per cent under White House requests, and even deeper slashes have been predicted for some items like foreign aid which are yet to reach either the House or Senate.

(AP The most deadly tornado of the sea son's violent Texas weather smash ed through this town Wednesday night, leaving a heavy toll of dead and injured, many of them infants and children. State police today set the toll of known dead at 19 after searching hospitals and mortuaries in a 70 mile area. They also counted 58 persons hospitalized. Persons on the scene said as many as 80 were hurt but not all needed hospital care. Unofficial estimates of- property damage ranged beyond $750,000. "People died without even know ing what happened," said Elvert Stephens. There was no advance warning, although 20 or more tornadoes .danced across Texas during the night, many in this vi cinity. Silverton, a farm-ranch town of 857 people, its utilities ripped out and ankle deep in mud, could not care for the dead and injured. The bodies and the victims requir ing hospital care were sent to Amarillo, 65 miles' to the north west, Plainview, Lubbock, and other towns and cities. Vote Of Confidence LONDON (AP) Britain's con servative government survived a Labor Party attack on its Suez poli cies last night and won a com fortable vote of confidence from the House of Commons. A Labor motion censuring the government for "damaging Brit ain's prestige and economic inter ests" was defeated 308-259. Prime Minster Harold MacMil lan delivered a mild speech end ing a two-day parliamentary in quest into consequences of the British-French invasion of Egypt last fall. He told the crowded house: "It would be footish-to deny that we have had a setback, but it would be equally foolish to exag gerate it, either at home or, more especially, overseas." riety of community health agen cies. Among the graduates will be 13 physicians trained to fill admin istrative posts in health agencies, six non-medical administrators, 39 public health nurses, 21 engineers and sanitarians, and 23 health ed ucators. The remainder of the graduates will be comprised of statisticians, laboratory workers, nutritionists and specialists in ma ternal and child health. The 1957 graduating class will bring to 944 the number of de grees awarded by the UNC School of Public Health since 1940. In addition to the graduates, during the 1956-1957 academic year, 555 other students of the University received instruction from the fac ulty of the school and an addition al 1165 persons outside of the Uni versity participated in short courses, seminars, and poi-t-grad-uate courses given by the faculty of the Chapel Hill institution.

Sen. Dirksen (R-Ill.) predicted that the Post Office will call for more money before the year is over. To that, Johnson, the Senate Democratic leader, replied: T will not look with sympathy on any supplemental-request." The House Appropriations Com mittee meanwhile approved a $78, 470,285 bill to operate the House and related . agencies during the year beginning July 1.

And an analysis of the first roll call vote to be taken in the Senate on an appropriation bill since Eisenhower went "to the people" showed 14 Republican senators on his side and 23, including the par ty's Senate leadership, against him.
