Hepp, 31, and his wife, Dorothy,
25, sailed their craft through "the
Gate" yesterday at noon, 40 days
after they had set sail from the
resort shores ol' Honolulu.
Their only previous experience
at sea was aboard the ships that
took them to Honolulu.
Hepp, an Atlantic City, N. J.,
attorney and former Army Ser-
jeant, and his pr«tty wife, a for-
mer Wave, crossed 2,000 miles
of open ocean in their tiny canvas
rigged craft.
Their lone navigational equip-
ment was a second-hand sextant,
a slide rule and a wellthumbod
copy of Napier's Theorems, plus
ample self confidence.
CANDIDATE JESTER
SAYS PAC HAS HIM
MARKED IFOR DEFEAT
Gov. Campaign
Gets Underway
DALLAS, Juno 12, (UP)— Can-
didate for Governor Boauford
Jester says the CIO Political Ac-
tion Committee has largo fund-
to use in electing a Texas Gover-
nor of its own choice.
Speaking on a statewide radio
hookup from Dallas, tlv Mson-ber
of the State Railroad Commission
said last night that the PAC has
marked him for defeat.
He said they were Communis-
tic labor racketeers "who are
seeking to impose their will on
the people f Texas and make
this state one big union under
their command."
Jester headquarters said it had
heard reports that Robert* Cal-
vert of Hillsboro, who bowed out
of the Governor's race despite
the urging of friends that he run,
would announce his support of
Jester in a radio address 'tomor-
row night. Calvert had nothing
to say at this time.
In Wichita Falls, Grover Sellers
said that the successful adminis-
tration of the state government
required "unity, cooperation and
good will between your Gover-
nor and the Legislature, between
your Governor and other state
officials." Beginning his campaign
in his home town of Sulphur
Springs last Saturday night, Sel
lers now is making a swing
through northwest Texas and the
Panhandle. He lias 26 speeches
scheduled for the week.
Another candidate for Gover-
nor, Dr. Homer P. Rainey, was
campaigning in East Texas com-
munities. He bore down' on the
Texas Regulars.
