Police today had uncovered the
biggest cache of marijuana seized
in the history of Houston after
the casual arrest last night of a

laid pistol.
Arrest of the man on a. com-
plaint led' to a confiscation of
marijuana with a retail value of
$54,000. Police said more than
50,000 cigarettes could have been
made from the 70 pounds of drug
taken.
The cache was discovered after
they arrested the man who had
been boasting in a Houston bar
about his ornate pistol. A search
of his person yielded a trunk key,
an express check and $1,500 in
cash.
Detectives went to an express
office, claimed the trunk with the
check and found 36 packages of
marijuana inside.

ted having bought the maripuana
in Laredo for $400, police said. He
told police that he followed it to

The armored command is a new
branch of the regular army but if
combines many of .Jthe best features
of the older branches. It appeals
to the young, hard muscled men
who make up the post war regular
army. It is a hard hitting mec-
hanized force that could break j
through enemy lines or race around j
his flanks. Few people ever stop j
to think that the U. S. Army has
been a pioneer in the development
of armored vehicles of remarkable
speed, power and efficiency.
The natural American genius
for the mechanical creation places
this country in the position to
lead the entire world in this im-
portant phase of modern military
power. The man at the controls
of a sheavy tank is guiding a
highly complicated power plant and
he must know exactly haw to
handle it and how to service and
maintain it: Repairs call for skill-
ed hands: When you enlist in the
armored command you will be pre-
paring yourself for many jobs in
civilian industry.
