Bradley Gets More Mail Than Anybody
Sell it with a Sun Want Ad.
CORN COB TREATMENT
MAKES BEARINGS ROLL
His present post has no thrill like
cracking the Siegfried line, but he
said it wasn’t without satisfactions.
“Any reward you get,” he said, “is
in the feeling you’ve done some good
for veterans and have their loyalty.
But it’s not like in combat. It’s not
as tangible.”
He said there were still “a lot of
headaches” in carrying out Congres-
sional provisions for veterans, partic-
ularly in speedily ironing out the in-
surance problems of 17,000,000 veter-
ans who took out a total of 18,900,000
wartime government policies, but
that “we’re coming along in pretty
good shape.”
PHILADELPHIA.—The lowly corn
cob, once a worthless farm byproduct
that couldn’t even be fed to a hog, is
now a valuable industrial material.
So important are corn cobs to the
manufacture of precision ball and
roller bearings that SKF Industries
use more than 48,000 pojrnds of them
a year.
The reason is that corn cobs, when
finely ground have high absorbent
qualities and are virtually free of
acids that cause rust on highly pol-
ished steel. Balls, rollers and com-
ponents of bearings are dropped into
revolving barrels full of ground corn
cobs for drying, clearing and polish-
ing.
WASHINGTON. — The man who
gets probably more mail than anyone
in history — and perhaps more
squawks—is Omar Nelson Bradley.
He had the wartime satisfaction of
commanding more American troops
abroad in the field than any general
who came before him. Now he has
the dubious pleasure of untangling
the affairs of more ex-soldiers than
any predecessor as Veterans’ Admin-
istrator.
The same troops who looked to the
“Doughboy’s General” to lead them
to victory in World War II now re-
gard him as their best friend in the
adjustment to peace.
18,000,000 Vets
There are approximately 18,000,000
living veterans of American wars,
about 43 percent of the adult male
population of the United States. In
the fiscal year 1946 Bradley super-
vised the spending of $4,772,072,218
in their behalf.
The size of his job can be further
judged from the fact that in the
month of December he and the offi-
cials under him throughout the coun-
try,received 11,300,000 letters, 1,800,-
000 personal visits from veterans
seeking information, and 743,000
phone calls.
He was picked because he was the
one man available whose lifetime
reputation as a square soldier assured
him the faith of all veterans. And it
was because of this faith in him by
his old soldiers that he accepted what
is probably the second toughest job in
America.

Last summer Grover Sellers intro-
duced himself to a man who asked,
“What business are you in, Mr. Sel-
lers?”
After Sellers said that he was at-
torney general, the citizen asked,
“Are you a candidate for something?”
and was given the reply, “Yes, I am
running for governor.”
The voter who did not call his own
name during the brief conversation,
was Bill McCraw, himself former at-
torney general and once a candidate
for governor.
(This is bound to be just the way it
happened because Bill told me about
it himself.)

“sage” remark.
And, come to think of it, all the

BRYAN.—The Bryan Daily Eagle
said in its issue of Feb. 8 that “se-
niors at Texas A. & M. College, bar-
red. from ordering freshmen to clean
up rooms and run errands are report-
ed making written and verbal con-
tracts with “fish” to do these chores,
agreeing to pay them 40c per hour.
“One such contract was made a few
days ago, according to well-authenti-
cated reports,” the Daily Eagle said.
“It was in written form and was at-
tested by a notary public in the Col-
lege Station area.
“Following this it was reported
other seniors contacted lawyers in the
campus sector, inquiring if a written
contract were more binding and were
informed an oral contract would
stand up. Some of the seniors, how-
ever, not accustomed to sweeping and
wiping up, are said to feel the written
contract would be safer.”

Georgia’s legislative squabble was
closely paralleled in Texas 73 years
ago.
Republican incumbent Gov. Ed-
mund J. Davis in 1874 refused to rec-
ognize the popular vote and declared
the election void, which unseated him
in favor of Richard Coke of McLean
County.
The Legislature convened Jan. 13,
1874, with two Texas governments
claiming control in the capitol. On

Ace Trump Might
Have Been Fatal
LOS ANGELES.—Trouble started,
Mrs. Winnifred Warke, 22, testified
Saturday, when she trumped her hus-
band’s ace.
“He said I was no good and called
me a name in front of my friends,”
she added. “He almost upset the
card table in my lap. He said I was
just a fool and there was no use play-
ing cards with me.”
Superior Judge Charles S. Burnell
granted her a divorce from Alfred
Warke, 21, but observed:
“You are lucky, young woman, to
be in divorce court instead of the
morgue. In some quarters, trumping
your partner’s ace is considered
justiciable homicide.”
DURANT, Okla.—Between 15,000
and 20,000 crop-destroying crows are
estimated to have been destroyed in a
simultaneous explosion of 145 small
demolition bombs under a crow roost
near Eagle Lake, South Bryan Coun-
ty, Thursday night.
The crow-killing bombing was
staged by rangers of the state fish
and game department under direction
of Bill Gaines of Oklahoma City and
was launched at the request of farm-
ers in the area who have suffered
heavy crop losses from crows during
the fall and winter.
The bombs, each loaded with six
pounds of shot, were rigged up on an
electrical connection and the entire
charge was touched off at 8:30 p. m.
with an electric switch. The simul-
taneous charge deafened spectators
for a distance of several hundred
yards, according to witnesses, and the
thousands of dead and crippled birds
covered an acre of ground, in some
places as much as three birds deep.
Farmers of the community armed
with clubs waded into the black mass
and finished off the crippled crows.
The electric machine was rigged up
during the day in a large grove of
trees which the crows had made their
roosting place, and the charge was set
off just after the crows had come in
and settled themselves in the trees
for the night.

Here's Proof of Extra Mileage in the Tire That
OUTWEARS PREWAR TIRES
Testimonials about the new B. F.
Goodrich tire are not uncommon.
This extra mileage was scientifically
engineered into the tires. First, a
wider, flatter tread was developed
for longer wear and greater pro-
tection against skidding. Second, to
hold that huskier tread, a new 35%
stronger cord body was developed.
That’s why we say, see us today
... equip your car with the new
B. F. Goodrich Silvertown . . . the
tire that outwears prewar tires.

lowered on fancy baggage, perfumes,

“And now friends I’m gonna sing
that little ditty entitled, ‘Peeping

Chai Herry, witty Texas

the first floor Governor Davis’ con-
stituents were in power. Upstairs
Governor Coke’s government had
been set up.
Davis called the Travis Rifles ta
his support but by the time they
reached the capitol they had been or-
ganized into a posse by the county
sheriff, a Coke supporter, to guard
the upstairs organization.
Davis reluctantly relinquished his
office under a decision by the United
States attorney general and President
Grant which sustained the validity of
the election in which Coke defeated
Davis, 95,549 to 42,633.
