Chandler immediately sent n
messenger to headquarters advls-
tog his superior officer that the
patrol had observed that the ob-
jective-was well defended, but
that a syslbm of' fixed sentinels
was In use mid that no men were
observed walking -post. The fol-

who was sent forward to bo pur-
posely captured with details on
the map showihg that the attack
j was to come from the northwest.
This man was promptly captured
unci immediately tore up the map.
The defenders were able to piece
l'V map together, however, there-
by gaining the knowledge from
whence the attack was to be
launched. This was merely a ruse,
however, and the attack was in
reality launched from the east
promptly at midnight. The de-
fenders had. In the meantime, de-
plnyed their strength in order to
meet the expected onslaught from
the .northwest. The battle raged
rather fiercejy for a number of
minutes, but a few well directed
hand grenades (sneks of flour) in
the hands of the attackers had the

JEW BLAST FURNACE WILL DOUBLE TEXAS STEEL CAPAC
When blown in, the new, modem blast
furnace will mean much in future years to
Texans and their neighbors.
, It will mark the beftinning of an impor-
nt nejr. local market for the output of
_.e iron ore miners, the coal miners, and!
the producers of many other steel-making
^Materials. Payrolls in these fields alono
tmu show subsUntial increases.
NIW, NUNOIY MOOTH tO KID
Upon becoming a full-fledged op em*
; the Sheffield of Texas steel mill pre-
.a hungry mouth for additional
tons of iron ore, limestone, manganese,
and coal for coke. Since these arc mined
or quarried in Texas and nearby states,
steel-making truly is another industry
they can claim as their own.

which could be readily enlarged to meet

facilities.
During 1948 the Defense Plant Cor-
poration finished several units in this
expansion program including two open*
hearth furnaces, eoke ovens, a blooming
