Rite's Live Owl
Dies; Was Groomed
For Football Season
HOUSTON, Tex., Aug. 19 —
(UP)—An ungrateful Sammy
was dead today.
The great horned owl, - pre-
sented to Rice Institute several
months ago as a live mascot to
replace the stuffed version used
by the school for years, didn't
even make an appearance on the
football field for which he was
groomed.
Head cheerleader Teddy
Montz, Sammy "Guardian,"'
complained he spent most of his
spare time keeping the owl
stuffed with sparrows and mice,
spraying his garage nest for
mites and explaining away the
wild screechings to neighbors.
"And what happens?" Teddy
wailed today. "He dies just be-
fore football season."

M&M Men's Store Replaces
Landmark Downtown Corner
A modern, new men's store,
"M. & M. Men's Store," will be
opened here Saturday, Aug. 20
in a completely remodeled build-
ing on a key corner in the down-
town shopping center of Sweet-
water.
In the picture above, the Guy
Morris building is shown before
its recently complete rebuilding
Russians Reported
Busy On Coastline
BERLIN (DP)—The Russians
are deepening harbors, refloat-
ing sunken German ships and
building a fleet, of fast fishing
boats which could be converted
into subchasers in wartime, ac-
cording to reports reaching wes-
tern allied headquarters here.
The disclosure of "hush-hush"
activity along the 200-mile coast-
line of the Soviet zone of Ger-
many followed a report by a Ger-
man rocket expert that the Rus-
sians are building V-2 bomb
bases behind the iron curtain
pointed at Sweden, western Eu-
rope, the Brenner Pass and the
Balkans.
Informed American quarters
said there was no cause for
alarm now. They said the sec-
recy cloaking the Russian activi-
ties was typical of Soviet precau-
tions.
Large Bond Issue
For Project Sells
to provide a suitable home for
the new store. At the intersec-
tion of Broadway and Locust,
the building has been a land-
mark here. At the time of the
picture, it was the home of
Manroe and Morris downtown
'Sweetwater Vulcanizing Com-
pany" many years ago.
The structure has been re-
built and transformed into an
up-to-date men's store at a cost
of about $6,000. The front, is of
Lueders stone, harmonizing with
a deep green trim. The interior
is modernistic with indirect
lighting and modern bleached
walnut fixtures.
This store is owned by M.
Bishkin who has recently moved
to Sweetwater from Ei Campo
where he was connected with
a department store. Mrs. Bish-
kin was formerly Harriet Reich
of Sweetwater.
Bishkin's "M.&M. Men's Store"
will be one of the city's most
attractive business houses, it
will carry a complete line of
men's wear and accessories,
handling many nationally ad-
vertised brands of merchandise
for men.
Scientist X Makes
Probers Wonder If
He Told All Truth
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 18 (DP)
After a long hearing, investigat-
ing Congressmen were beginning
to wonder today what had hap-
pened to the case against the B
36, the intercontinental atomic
bomber.
House armed services commit
teemen showed no disposition to
write off the serious charges of
political intrigue behind Air
Force purchases of the planes,
manufactured by Consolidated
Vultee Aircraft Corp.
But some members were be-
coming impatient to know yhat
facts supported the charges
which involved not only alleged
politics but claims that the of-
fensive capabilities of the bom-
ber were grossly exaggerated.
A subcommittee yesterday
continued to take testimony
from West Coast aircraft manu-
facturers.
One of the charges, raised by
Rep. James E. Van Zandt, R., Pa.,
and also by an anonymous docu-
ment now in the committee rec-
ord, was that Floyd Odium, con-
troller of Consolidated, tried to
form a huge aircraft manufactur-
ing combine with Air Secretary
W. Stuart Symington as its head.
Van Zandt said reports to this
effect were being heard through-
out the industry.
Wainwright Speaks
For Preparedness
CLEVELAND (DP) — Gen.
Jonathan M. Wainwright, hero of
Corregidor and national com-
mander of the Disabled Ameri-
can Veterans, said that belief
in military preparedness by the
day "is not rattling the sabre."
In his report to the 28th na-
tional RAV convention here, the
| general urged the nation "not
again sacrifice" its youth or
"again imperil the safety of the
country because of criminal in-
| difference to cruel facts, and by
accepting the same false ideolo

ADSTIN, Aug. 19, (DP)— A
$17,700,000 bond issue bid by a
syndicate of -10 New York Bond
Houses has been accepted by
the Lower Colorado River Au-
thority.
It will be used for the con-
struction of two new dams in
the Marble Falls area.
Attorney General Price Dan-
iel approved an interest rate of
2.7207 per cent as the best bid.
WASHINGTON (UP)
with prospects of the gr
corn surplus in history, the gov-
ernment plunged headlong into
the grain storage business to
help protect its price support
program.
Thousands of government-own-
ed grain storage structures will
| be set up in the Midwest within
the next (!0 days. They will be
made of wood, steel, and alumi-
num. They will dot the skyline
of the corn belt states.
They will provide storage for
hundreds of millions of bushels
of 1948 crop corn and other
grains which the government ex-
pects to take over under its price
support program this fall.
