David T. Krause, radioman
seamon, USN, son of Mrs. Meta
S. Krause of 240 E. Guadulpe st..

ket nose cone that carried valua-
ble information concerning the ra-
diation belt which surrounds the
earth.
The 80-pound nose cone, called

hicle (NERV), was carried to a
height exceeding 1,000 miles by a
four-stage rocket launched from
the U. S. Naval Missile Facility at
Pt. Arguello, Calif.
Crewmembers of the U. S. Na-
vy ships and aircraft taking part
in the recovery operations were
specially trained for their jobs.
Among the Navy units participat-
ing werec.the First Fleet ships:
USS Paul Revere, USS Rowan and
USS Gurke.
The radiation exploration ex-
periment, called Project NERV, is
under the direction of the Nation-
al Aeronautics and Space Admin-
istration, (NASA).

RECEIVES DEGREES ,
The following students from La
Grange received advanced . ad-
grees at the summer graduation
at Texas A. and M. College.

appeasement of a communist in-
spired gang of young rioters.

The Constituting Convention of
the East Central Conference of The
American Lutheran Church Wom-
en, Southern District, will be hel d
in La Grange on Oct. 20, at the
St, Paul’s Lutheran Church.
The convention, which is an all -
day meeting, will begin at 9:30
a. m. and will be convened by Mrs.
Odle Pederson of Clifton.
The general planning committee
is Mrs. De Ivin Janssen* chairman,
and Mrs. E. W. Meiners, La
Grange; ivhs. Carl Dagerath, Gidd-
ings; and Mrs. Robert Lange, Bren-
ham.
There are forty TALC churches
in the East Central Conference.
OPEN HOUSE
Friends and relatives are hereby
invited to attend Open House in
honor of Mr. and Mrs. Willie Noak,
on the occasion of their 40th
wedding anniversary, on Sunday,
Oct. 9, 1960, from 2:30 to 6 p. m.
at the American Legion Hall at
Round Top.
The couple requests that no gifts
be brought.
States would posses and exercise
ir it were the soverign of the terri-
tory within which said land and
waters are located to the entire ex-
clusion of the exercise, by the Re-
public of Panama of any such sov-
ereign rights, power or authority.” ,
Now comes the communist plot
not only to fly the Panamanian flag,
but admittedly to finally take over
and operate the Canal—that great
acility which we constructed and
paid for, and which we have made
available to the ships of all nations.
The President has the constitu-
tional authority to make certain
agreements with other nations. In
this case, however, he seems to
have set aside provisions of a treaty
which must had to be agreed to by
the Senate. What will happen when
Congress reconvenes remains to be
seen. The harm has been done and
whether it can be undone without
making things worse is hard to say.
As I write this, I have just re- ,
turned from Bay City where the
Celanese Mhemical Company an-
nounced that they were going to
build a tremendous plant on.the new
Colorado River Channel, This was
not contemplated when we sold the
project to the Corps of Engineers -
and later to the Congress. Its com- T
Ing makes an honest man of me
because I promised the various
committees which handled it that
it would be fully utilized, if they
would just give us the money witli
which to construct it.
Sincerely yours,
Clark W. Thompson
