Herald Proposes A Toast To Dad,
Whether In Service Or At Home
The Herald proposes a toast to Dad! Whether he’s on active service
■with our armed forces or is keeping the wheels turning on the homo
front. . . American families pay deserved tribute to him on Lathers
Day next Sundny!
It Is Privilege And Duty For
Everybody To Help In Rubber Drive
It is the privilege and duty for every man, woman, and child “to
pitch in and help’’ in the present drive for old rubber.
It is our fervent hope that the success of this drive will go a long
way toward averting nation-wide rationing of gasoline—and goodness
knows, we oil-producing and gasoline-producing people of Texas do not
want rationing.
Then, too, as well ns we all know, our Army and Navy need
rubber—all they can get.
The drive ends June JO. There’s not much time!
We On Texas Gulf Coast Are
That Call—We’re All-Out For Victory!
To help fight this war, America is asking everyone to voluntarily
buy War Bonds nnd Stamps every pay day.
We on the Texas Gulf Coast are proud to answer that call. We’re
all-out for victory!
We’re mad—fighting mad! We want the Nazis and Japs to
know they can’t push us around. We want to show those Chariies
they’ve got a tiger by the tall.
We want to show the Axis that a free, peace-loving people can
whip the daylights out of a hostage-shooting, power-crazy dictator-
ship. And we want the world to know that America—and Freedom—
are coming, nnd coming FAST!
What's more, we want to see to it that this section of the
coast helps win the peace, too. We're thinking twice about every
purchase we make and getting along with the least we can now. . .
so we’ll have plenty to spend to KEEP our pay rolls and factories
GROWING when the war’s over!
Alien Enemy Control and Enforcement of
Draft Will Be F. B. I. Topics Here June 29
Alien enemy control and enforcement of the Selective Service Act
will be featured topics for discussion at a sories of eight (F. B. I.
National Defense Police Conferences scheduled for the Tcxns Gulf
Const area starting June 10, Itay J. Abbaticehio Jr., special agent in
charge of the bureau's Houston office, announced today.
These meetings are in furtherance of a nation-wide plan fostered
by Director J. Edgar Hoover for tho instruction of local law enforce-
ment officers in problems presently affecting the internal security of
this country. The plan is an outgrowth of a directive issued by the
President of the United States on September 6, 19,39, and is designed
to prepare local officers to handle these matters in cooperation with the
F. B. I., which acs as a clearing house for all information concerning
sabotage, espionage, and subversive forces in this nation.
Mr. Abbaticehio revealed that during the first three months of
this year 321 of these conferences were held all over the United States,
with more than 21,000 persons engaged in law enforcement represent-
ing over 7600 different agencies in attendance. From May, 1941,
through February, 1942, a total of 423,269 eases have been referred
for investigation by the f. B. I. to various police agencies throughout
the country.
In the alien enemy roundup nnd search program, the local officers
have cooperated to the fullest extent with the F. B. 1., Mr. Abatieehio
declared, in controlling an alien enemy population of over 3000 persons
residing in the Gulf Coast area. Special agents of the Houston office
have handled over 2200 Selective Service cases since the first registra-
tion day on October 16, 1940.
F. B. I. hendquarters at Washington has made available for the
conferences more than one hour of sound motion pictures filmed in the
English, Russian, and Hawaiian theaters of the present war. Among
these are shots of the Red army halting the Nu;y advance on tho frozen
battlefields of Russia and scenes of the German bombings of Britain.
Other films depict the damage caused at Pearl Harbor as a result of
Japan’s surprise attack on December 7, as well as pictures of the
burning and capsizing of the Normandie.
Invitations to the meetings are being extended to duly constituted
peace officers, including auxiliary police, prosecuting officials, heads
of municipalities, and railroad officers from the 46 counties comprising
the Houston division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Mr. Abbaticehio disclosed that the discussions are sluted to start
at 1 P. M. and will continue for several hours, the initial program being
scheduled for Kingsville on June 19. Thereafter conferences will be
held at Cuero on June 22, Columbus on June 23 Huntsville on June
24. Jasper on June 25, Beaumont on June 26, Bay City on June 29, and
will conclude at Houston on June 30.

BIG TOWN?
If all of our employes and their families were gath-
ered together in one community, it would make a
sizable city. There are 3,000 folks on the payroll
of these Companies and associated Company. Then
add their families and the hundreds of other per-
sons necessary to meet their need for clothing, food,
shelter, medical care, and so on. We figure this
total number would make up a town of close to
20,000 population.
South homes, stores and factories the comforts,
conveniences and opportunities afforded by
Dependable Natural Gas Service. Now they have
another responsibility—making Natural Gas of
greater service in this war crisis.
Natural Gas is playing a vital part in the country's
war program, just as it is playing an important part
in the development of the Gulf South.
Actually, there is no such “Big Town,” because our
employes are scattered all over the Gulf South, in
cities, towns and villages. Wherever they are, they
are good citizens and good neighbors. Their sole
working objective has always been to assure Gulf
