HOLLYWOOD.—Paul Snell won-
dered today who won the friendly
little gin rummy game which he
played with a friend.
Snell, a press agent, held the win-
ning hands and he won a 1928 loco-
motive piece by piece, cowcatcher,
boiler, bell, etc.
Now he’s'stuck with a $65 monthly
news to the public. When this hap-
pens all will know it before The Sun
can get an extra edition out telling
the news, because there are several
in Whitewright who can put the news
out faster than any newspaper could
get out an extra.

DETROIT.—Ford Motor Company,
which made automotive history with
its low-priced Model T, announced
Friday it is planning a new low-
priced car to supplement its existing
lines.
Henry Ford II, company president,
said a new division would be set up
immediately to handle production of
the new car, which will be intro-
duced to the public some time after
January 1947.

AUSTIN. — Gov. Coke Stevenson
has first-hand knowledge of the se-
riousness of the housing shortage.
The Governor Tuesday told a com-
mittee conferring with him on hous-
ing that a young newly-wed couple
recently asked permission to spend
their honeymoon in the Governor’s
mansion.
“We were married today and we
cannot find a place to stay,” the
young man told the chief executive.
“We wonder if we can stay in your
house tonight.”
The Governor consented.
ROME.—Rome’s Eastbr prepara-
tions were not noticeably affected to-
day by a widely-publicized predic-
tion that Christ will return to earth
Saturday and address Romans from
a balcony on the ancient Appian
Way.
Three black-clad women paraded
down the Via Nacionale yesterday
proclaiming the second coming at the
top of their lungs. They declared
the Messiah will announce a new
gospel as well as a new era of peace
and world fraternity.

LONDON.—Gold belonging to the
Bank of France weighing 235 tons,
which has been hidden in the French
West Indian Island of Martinique
since 1940, has just been returned to
France, Paris radio said Tuesday.
A French cruiser left France on
June 11, 1940, and though Marshal
Philippe Petain ordered the ship to
return to a French port, its com-
mander disobeyed the order and took
the gold to Martinique.
The four commissioner precincts
in Grayson County spent $46,250.75
on roads in the first three months of
1946, according to the quarterly re-
port of Mrs. Beulah Howdeshell,

Commissioners Court.
Precinct 1, Reece W. Bowen, com-
missioner, issued $10,496.59 in war-
rants; 2, E. P. Jackson, commissioner,
$11,987.06; 3, S . R. Stiles, commis-
sioner, $16,754.99, and 4, E. W. Mc-

and devotional purposes. The organ,
which was purchased ove r a year
ago, was installed in the church a
few days ago.
In addition to the recital there will

NEW YORK. — Instead of “pass-
up-the-sugar!” you may soon be
saying, “Please pass the levulose!”
and the current sugar shortage—in-
deed, any sugar shortage—may be
definitely a thing of the past. If this
sounds to you like “the sweetest
story ever told,” and, by “story,” you
mean a polite fib or an altogether
impolite lie, wait just a minute.
According to Anthony A. De Bole,
American agronomist and developer
of the American artichoke, actual
plans for the establishment of a lev-
ulose-from-artichokes factory are
now under way.
It may be recalled that, last • No-
vember, De Bole issued a statement
saying that by electronic processing,
American artichokes might be easily
made to produce levulose, the sweet-
est, most readily soluble of all sug-
ars, and the only sugar that is both
non-fattening and safe for use in the
diabetic diet.
NEW YORK. — Silk hosiery will
begin to appear in limited quantities
within the next month or two—but
prices are yet to be determined, trade
sources said Tuesday.
Whether the return of Japanese
silk will have much effect on the
overall hosiery supply will depend
to a large extent on the price of raw
silk and the quality of subsequent
shipments. ■
AUSTIN.—No change in wet and
dry territory in Texas came as the
result of five local option elections
held during March, the Texas Liquor
Control Board announced Wednes-
day.
Trinity and Kimble Counties voted
to remain wet, the former voting in
favor of the sale of all alcoholic
beverages and the latter balloting to
retain the sale of beer.
The three counties voting to con-
tinue prohibition of the sale of beer
were Lampasas, Andrews and Sterl-
ing.
Lamar County voted last Saturday
io remain dry.
Pre-Easter services are now in
progress at the First Methodist
Church. The pastor, the Rev. R. L.
Gilpin, is developing each service
around the happenings of that par-
ticular day in the last week of the
life of Christ. Special music is be-
ing featured each evening, under the
direction of Mrs. Sarah Kilgroe.
Services begin at 7:30 p. m. They
will continue through Friday eve-
ning.
“It is our prayer that this Easter
season will see a new dawn of
Christ’s glory in your heart. We
would be happy to have you with us
during this series of services,” said
Mr. Gilpin.
SHERMAN. — Automobile regis-
tration in Grayson County Feb. 1
through Saturday, April 6, totaled
13,700, with 12,275 licenses issued for
passenger cars, 1,294 for commercial
and 675 for farm vehicles, George R.
Schumacher, tax officer, reports.
The 1946 registration compares to
13,864 licenses during the whole of
last year, and 13,280 in 1944.
County registration receipts for the
period totaled $127,924.15, according
to a statement from the auditor’s of-
fice.
License fees are divided between
the county and the state. After com-
missions to the tax office are paid,
the county receives the first- $50,000.
The remainder is then divided equal-
ly between the county and state but
no county is allowed more than
$175,000 from fees. All over that
amount goes to the state.
The tax office commissions, which
go into the county salary fund, are
50 cents each for the first 1,000 cars;
40 cents for the next 9,000; 30 cents
through 25,000, and 20 cents for the
remainder.
Other monies received by the
■county from the fees go into the road
fund, Sherman and Denison precincts
receiving 30 percent each; precinct
three, 24 percent, and precinct four,
19 percent.
The sale of federal crop insurance
to Grayson County farmers closed
April 10 and AAA Administrator W.
W. Gunn estimated that about the
same number of farmers who had the
protection last year have made ap-
plications this year. Policies were
written up until the deadline by 47
agents over the county.
Gunn said last year’s crop failure
was reflected in this year’s policy
sales since many of those signing up
in 1946 had no protection in 1945
and suffered considerable losses.

WASHINGTON. — President Tru-
man today signed a bill designed to
prevent James C. Petrillo, president
of the American Federation of Musi-
cians (AFL) from coercing .broad-
casters in labor matters.
The new law provides penalties
for anyone found guilty Qf forcing
radio stations to hire more persons
than needed for broadcasts.
In celebration of its 62hd anniver-
sary the Bethel Baptist Church, three
miles south> of Whitewright, will have
a homecoming Sunday with dinner
on the church lawn following the 11
o’clock sermon. Services will be
held in the afternoon, beginning at
2 o’clock. The period from the time
lunch is served to 2 p. m. will be
used for renewing old acquaintances
and visiting together. Several for-
mer pastors will be present and take
part in the program. All former
members of the church are especial-
ly invited to be present.
O. G. Bow will be master of cere-
monies. The Bethel Baptist Church
was organized in 1884, and is one of
the best rural churches in this sec-
tion of Texas. Two charter mem-
bers of the church are still living,

The wildcat well being drilled two
miles northwest of Whitewright con-
tinues to make good progress, and the
drill searching for “black gold” is
now below the 3,000-foot mark.
Three drilling crews are busy on the
job and drilling goes on night and
day.
A pocket of gas was encountered
Sunday, which caused a few local
amateur oil scouts to get excited
when they saw mud being blown
from the hole. They expected to see
oil shooting over the derrick in a
few minutes and rumors spread fast.
When the gas disappeared the ex-
citement died down and everything
is normal now and drilling continues.
This writer was at the well a few
evenings ago with a friend watching
the machinery in action. All the
time we were at the well this friend
was worrying because the drillers
were not stopping and taking a core
of the well every few feet. He said
they may strike an oil sand and pass
through it and never know about
it. Several local amateur “oil men”
are having a hard time keeping up
with the drill bit, but they are learn-
ing more every day about drilling for
oil.
Anyway, the drillers are making
fine progress on the well, but news
reporters are not able to get much in-
| formation from them. They tell us 1
they will let us know when the well I
comes in and then we can give the judgment

After voting the amendments on a

House put off until Thursday the fi-

Its future there is highly uncertain.

General Motors Corporation, larg-
est of the automakers, announced
similar plans Tuesday for a new light
Chevrolet.
The youthful president of the Ford
empire also disclosed plans for 1947
models. The company announced
several weeks ago it did not intend
any switchover this year because the
time required would cut into produc-
tion for the car-famished public.
Ford, in mentioning the new 1947
models,/said only that the new light
car “will be presented to the public
following introduction of the regular
lines of postwar Fords some time
after January, 1947.”
SHERMAN.—Two petition forms,
asking that Grayson County Commis-
sioners Court call an election on the
question of legalizing sale of beer in
the county were issued Monday
morning by J. C. Buchanan, county
clerk.
The forms went to Joseph A.
Becker, 523 East Mulberry, a cafe
operator, and George D. Hagans, a
Denison attorney. Each took 20 of
the 26-name-place sheets. Mr. Hag-
ans represented a group of nine
Sherman men in asking two weeks
ago that the clerk furnish the forms
for circulation.
If as many as 10 percent of the
qualified voters of the county sign
the form, the election call by the
■court is mandatory. The number of
voters is based on the last poll in the
race for governor, when 13,678 votes
were cast.
Sale of beer in Grayson County has
been illegal since an electioh in Oc-
tober 1942 when the county went
dry by a plurality of 1,954 votes.
Denison voted wet in the election,
1,285 to 728, and Sherman dry by
1,527 to 899.
LONG BEACH, Calif. — When
death from a snake-bite ended the
sideshow career of Elsie the Cobra
Woman and disclosed that “she” was
a man, it was no surprise to Alexan-
der F. Marks, the man “she” married
18 years ago, he said today.
“I didn’t know Elsie was a man
until after we were married in San
Francisco, Nov. 29, 1927, and then
there wasn’t much to be done,” said
Marks, a shipworker.
“I married a freak,” Marks said,
“and when I learned that something
was wrong I felt sorry for ‘her.’ Then
I decided to stick by ‘her’.”
“And besides, she was such a nice
wife to me that it didn’t really make
much difference.”
WASHINGTON. — A rebellious
House overthrew important phases
of President Truman’s stabilization
program Wednesday night, pasting

WASHINGTON. — The nation’s
railroads Monday asked the Inter-
state Commerce Commission to grant
a 25 percent increase in most freight
rates, effective May 15, to offset
higher operating costs and see them

While no increase in passenger
fares was proposed, the petitioners
asked the commission to continue the
10 percent boost granted during the
war and scheduled to expire six
months after hostilities are declared
officially ended.

their arguments to support it were
rainwater weak. The result is the
House bill.
“If the War Department would ad-
mit its mistake and make an honest
effort to fill their requirements and
nothing more, perhaps Congress may
still be able to enact a sensible, lim-
ited extension of the draft.
“Therefore I urge the War Depart-
ment to seek a six weeks’ extension
of Selective Service now and to
abandon its despicable spirit of
‘Let’s see how much we can wheedle
out of Congress’.”
Several months ago the British
Ministry of Agriculture said in a
statement issued from London: ’
“Among the good things that have
come to Britain from the United
States are the 4-H Clubs, called by
us the ‘Young Farmers’ Clubs.’ Now
there are nearly 1,200 of these clubs

The calves will be sold Friday in a

calves have been entered in the show.
DENISON. — Three Negroes were
dead and a fourth lay in a critical
condition Tuesday after one of the
worst shooting orgies in the city’s
history occurred Monday night
around midnight on East Owings
street.
Two of the Negroes died immedi-
ately of wounds received, police re-
ports indicated, when George Eng-
lish, Gunter Negro, became enraged
and shot his wife, his mother-in-law,
his brother-in-law’s wife, and then
turned his Spanish-type .38 revolver
on himself and died instantly.
The dead were Libby Wilson, about
30, of 424 East Owings, shot in the
heart; Annie Mae English, 32, of 626
West Elm, who was shot first and
was not discovered until late Tuesday
morning and George English, 35.
Wounded was Andrey Wilson, 34,
who was shot once in the arm and
again in the stomach.

WASHINGTON. — Senator Edwin
Johnson (Dem.) of Colorado de-
manded Tuesday that War Depart-
ment “muddleheads” drop their “ar-
rogant demand” for another full year
of the draft and settle for a six-week
extension.
He wrote Secretary of War Robert
P. Patterson that six weeks of the
draft beyond May 15 would provide
all the men needed “with something
to spare” and provide replacements
for fathers and combat veterans still
in uniform. He said the bill passed
by the House Monday would not pro-
vide for these needs.
The House measure would ban any
further inductions until Oct. 15 at
least, while continuing the act itself
for nine months, and impose other I
restrictions which the services op-
pose.
Johnson wrote tha't this “confused
and chaotic” measure was due to the
War Department’s “blind and con-
genital stupidity” in assuming “that
members of Congress are dummies
and that they can be awed and in-
fluenced by a mass of distorted
mathematics.
“Instead of driving for a six
weeks’ extension of the draft, which
would have provided the men for all,
their presently anticipated needs'
with something to spare,” Johnson
continued, “the War Department ar- ______ _______________ _ ___________

common cause. Ways and means of
doing this were discussed. It was
voted that union Easter sun-rise
services be conducted. It was also
decided that each participating
church would dismiss its evening
services on Sunday, April 28, in or-
der that the congregations might visit
the Presbyterian Church on that eve-
ning.
Ministers present at this session
were Dr. W. A. Erwin, the Presbyte-
rian Church, the Rev. Clifford Tay-
lor, Central Christian Church, the
Rev. E. P. Wootten, First Baptist
Church, and the Rev. R. L. Gilpin,
the First Methodist Church.

.Baptist Church Sunday six new dea-
cons were'ordained. The new dea-
cons are Geo; W. Brown, Paul Steph-
ens, Lewis Cooper, Newell Skaggs,
