hard study, there were no fire-
crackers or gaiety, no sips of the
potent "maotai," a Chinese wine,
and no steaming platefuls of
“mien,” a noodlespreparation to
which pork and vegetables are
added.
“And there will be nothing of the after the sun enters the sign of
kind in China today," said Second
Lt. Wei Kung Liu, officer in charge
of Chinese students at Lowry field.
“Everything is rationed."_________

college board of directors that E. ments of state directors, who are

Ballots Out for
Election of 5 C
Of C Directors
Ballots for election of five mem-
bers of the board of directors of
the Abilene chamber of commerce
were placed in the mails Monday.
Each member of the organization
is entitled to vote for five men from
among 15 nominees. The board con-
sists of 15 men, five of whom are
named each year to serve three
years. This creates a rotation of
membership.
Members whose terms expire this
month are: C. W. Gill, Frank
Grimes, Fleming James, Jack Sim-
mons and R. M. Wagstaff. Simmons
recently became secretary-manager
of the chamber of commerce when
Manager John Womble was given
leave of absence for the duration
to enter the Army.
Those nominated, the top five
to become directors, are:
Jack Hughes, Western Chev-
rolet Co.; Arch Batjer, T. S.
Lankford and Sons; C. M. Cald-
well, farmers an d ranches;
George Barron, Service Parts
Co.; Grover Nelson, food store
owner; Ed Stewart, The Stew-
art Co.; W. P. Wright, Gulf Oil
corporation; Ellis A. Hall, Con-
der Petroleum Co.; Merle Gru-
ver, Abilene-View Bus; Will

Merchants National bank;
George Foster, Compere & Com-
pere.
The ten directors whose terms do
not expire and who will serve one
or two years longer are: Victor E.
Behrens, P. W. Campbell, W. E.
Jarrett, E. P. Mead, Homer H. Scott,

gren Morgan Jones Jr., R. B. Leach

paid with federal funds.
Conway said that he and Wilson
conducted an investigation in Texas
last November, and added:
"After our return to Washington
we informed Chairman Law (F. M.
Law of Houston, head of the A&M
board of directors) that while we
had proper regard for the experi-
ence and capabilities of Mr. Eudaly,
we felt that in view of the import-
ance of the post it should be filled
by one more administrative experi-
ence.
“The Texas organization is the
biggest in the nation. We informed
Mr. Law that we would look further
into the situation and submit our
conclusions at a later date."
(At Houston, Law said he had no
comment on the situation.)

Annual Stamford
Banquet Date Set
STAMFORD, Jan. 25—(SpD)—An-
nual banquet and meeting of the
Stamford Board of City Develop-
ment and Chamber of Commerce
will be held in the mess hall of the
Stamford Flying school Friday
night, Feb. 4, with Harry Hines,
Dallas, as principal speaker. A. M.
G. Swenson, is chairman of arrange-
ments committee.
The banquet will start at 8 p. m.
and will be served cafeteria style.
The menu will be the same as that
served cadets for their evening
meal.
Mr. Hines, widely known through-
out the southwest, is a former chair-
man of the State Highway Commis-
sion and is considered a top-rank-
ing after-dinner speaker. He has
spoken at a previous C. of C. ban-
quet here.
Other entertainment features are
being worked out, according to R.
C. Giles, program chairman. It is
expected a capacity crowd of 400
will attend. :
Motor Trouble
CARLINVILLE, m., Jan. 25—0
—When Army Pilot Lt. Donald L
Hulcher arrived at Scott field en-
gine trouble prevented his imme-
diate return flight to New Mexico,
gave him unplanned time on his
hands.
So he came here to visit his
fiancee, MaryElizabeth Young, and
they were married forthwith Lt.
Hulcher then left in another plane.
charged the Washington an-
nouncement was dictated by
"bureaucratic politics.” He said
it came as a surprise and he
didn’t know what action the
board would take. He added:
(“It looks like more bureaucratic
politics in Washington. They are
trying more and more to get con-
trol of our state affairs. They fun-
nel our money up there and then
funnel it back to us; in the mean-
time, they get a good deal of power
and control over our state affairs.")
At the time the college board
recommended that Eudaly, head of
the dairy division o fthe state ser-
vice, receive permanent appoint-
ment as state director, it named as
Acting Director J. D. Prewit, a West
Texas district supervisor. He suc-
ceeded H. H. Williamson, veteran di-
rector whom the board failed to re-
employ last summer. Williamson
now is an agricultural consultant
for the Office of Price administra-
tion.
Conway said that unless there
were some further development
before Prewit’s authorization ex-
pired February 15, Prewit proba-
bly would be retained in the
position temporarily.
The temporary status of Dr. F. C.
Bolton, who became acting presi-
dent of the college upon the re-
tirement of Dr. T. O. Walton,
further confuses the situation, said
Conway. He added that the college
president normally recommends ap-
pointment of the extension director.
Missing Aspermont
Flier Thought Safe
ASPERMONT, Jan. 25 - HW) -
Roy G. Anderson, judge of Stone-
wall County, has a snapshot of the
airplane hit with flak falling into
the sea near Madang in which his
brother T. Sgt. Hugh W. Anderson
Jr., has been reported “missing."
T. Sgt. Anderson wrote his fath-
er and mother, Hugh W. Anderson
Sr., the day before his plane crash-
ed — August 4, 1943. On Sept. 1,
1943, he was officially reported miss-
ing. Through friends and his Cap-
tain, Robert L. Herry, a Texan, the
family learned brief details. The
ship had completed its task mis-
sion of bombing the Jap base at
Madang when it ran into terrific
flak. An engine went bad and the
navigator steered for land. Anoth-
er plane took snaps, showing two
men descending in parachutes. Lat-
er Japs gave a report of four men
captured, but none of the names
was that of Anderson. However the
report carried other discrepancies
The parents here, as well as the
brother, County Judge Anderson,
believe he is alive and in a Japanese
internment camp.
Sgt. Anderson, an air corps radio
operator and gunner, was born and
reared in Aspermont. He enlisted
in September, 1941, trained at Fort
Sill, Keesler Field, Miss., received
his technical training at Scott Field,
III., and Barksdale, La., and went
across in August, 1942. He had been
on active duty for a year in the
South Pacific. He had been award-
ed the air medal and oak leaf clus-
ter. He attended high school at As-
permont.
The disabled plane landed about
two hundred yards from shore, ac-
cording to Capt. Robert L. Herry.
____N........-
INDUSTRY: Early in this war, Eisenhower went on a 10
hour day with five hours for sleep, even forsook his poker.
Here he is at Italian front headquarters with Lt. Gen. Mark
Clark.
INTELLIGENCE: Good-humored handling of exasperating
problems in the 1941 Louisiana maneuvers marked him as a |
thinking general, won respect of General George C. Mar-
shall, chief of staff.
w
DIPLOMACY: After British officers worked with him awhile
in London, one of them said: “He is our ‘Eisen’ and this is our
‘hour’.” He got along smoothly with French and British in
North Africa.
GOOD HUMOR: Eisenhower is forceful and tough, but he
knows how to joke and talk the language of such soldiers
as these in Tunisia. He goes out of his way to praise all ele-
ments in his forces.
