Colorful ex-Ranger Manuel T.
(Lone Wolf) Gonzaullas wav the

once was vice president of a
Ben Jack Cage enterprise, mak-
ing purse-size alarms for wo-
men to summon help. He said
he had nothing to do with ICT,
also managed by Cage.
Others called to testify were
Mrs. Mae Swaldner of Dallas,
longtime secretary to Saunders;
Paul B. Kelly of Austin, per-
sonal friend of Saunders; and
Dlck„ Mallard, Tyler CPA who
was asked to bring Saunders’
financial records.
CAGE PROMISES TO RE-
TURN—Meanwhile, Ben Jack
Cage, kingpin of the controver-
sy, announced from Brazil that
he’ll come back to Texas “in
about a month” and straighten
everything out.
Cage, former manager of ICT,
is under indictment in Dallas
for embezzlement of the firm’s
funds. Governor Daniel had
tried to get Cage forcibly re-
turned to Texas for trUl. but
found the U. S, has no extradi-
tion treaty with Brazil.
Cage terms the Texas talk
"hysteria," blames his succes-
sors at ICT for the company's
collapse. But, he said, he plans
to set up a corporation under
which 75 per cent of his earn-
ings for the rest of his life will
go to repay ICT shareholders.
“NEW LOOK” LAUNCHED
—Texas’ long-heralded “clean
slate” Insurance Commission
is finally a reality.
The “New Look’’ was official-
ly launched with the appoint-
ment of Assistant State Auditor
William A. Harrison as commis-
sioner of Insurance. Under the
reorganization law passed by
the last legislature, the com-
missioner’s salary effective un-
til Sept. 1.
Harrison, who was named
“temporarily” until September,
is reportedly serving “on faith”

the Panhandle.
As McGill apoke at a state-
wide Civil Defense Advisory
Council conference In Austin,
hurricane warnings were post-
ed on the Gulf Coast. “That,”
said McGill, “is all we needed.”
HIGHWAY PLANS EX
PLAINED—State Highway En-
gineer D. C. Greer is trying to
soothe riled East Texans who
learned that a proposed new
Interstate highway would by-
pass them.
Plans show that “Interslate
2,” designed to extend from
Shreveport, La., to El Paso,
would miss both Wood and Up-
shur Counties.
Greer promised that present

FIRST WITH THE WORST
—Cost of Texas’ severe weather
damage in 1957 will probably
top $100,000,000, says William
L. McGill. Official total is al-
ready more than $91,000,000.
McGill director of Texas Civil
Defense and Disaster Relief
Headquarters, said this year
has brought the “most far-
reaching and widespread de-
struction the state ever has
known.”
Texas always has had the
“dubious distinction” of leading
the nation in catastrophies he
said, recalling the Galveston
flood, New London school ex-
plosion, and the Texas City
disaster.

DON'T BUY ANY CAR BEFOHYOU DRIVE A CHEVY ... ITS BEST SHOWKOOM IS THE ROAD.
Btauty in motlon-ChnYrolnl Btl Air Sport Stdon with Body by Flihtr.
Here's why Chevy's best showroom is the road!
Because Chevrolet’s sleek good
looks, its advanced features, are
only part of the story. The big
bonus is its remarkable roada-
bility, the crisp precision handling
that has posted an entirely new
standard for cars in every price
class. There are reasons for this,
of course: Chevrolet’s balanced
weight distribution that takes
excessive loads off the front wheels,
the wide stance of outrigger rear
springs, Ball-Race steering, spher-
ical-joint front suspension. Sure,
you can admlte the sculptured
lines in the showroom. But Chevy’s

beautiful motion—you have to
travel in this one to know just how
terrific it is. Try it. this week!
