London, Dec. 9. (UP)—Lon-
don was blasted In one of the
worst attacks of its 125 days
of air siege last night and
early today. Waves of Nazi
bombers smashed buildings
and stared fires over wide
areas.
After nine hours of shatter-
ing attack from low heights,
the backbone of the assanlt
appeared at 3 a. in. to have
been broken by bad weather.
Only sporadic bursts of bombs
and anti-aircraft fire were
heard as dawn approached.
The Luftwaffe swept upon
London early Sunday evening
to break a 48-hour calm dur-
ing which not a single bomb
had fallen upon Britain—the
longest respite since the start
of the massive assaults on the
metropolis last August 7.
All of London appeared to
have suffered the wrath of
Adolf Hitler's new savage at-
tack, but the toll of casualties
was unknown.
Men, women and children
were known to have been trap-
ped, however, when bombs
struck air raid shelters in the
teeming tenements areas along
the Thames Estuary. Reports
of casualties came from wide-
ly separated spots.
Shops and homes were
smashed by bombs or set afire
by incendiaries. / hospital
was bombed but without casu-
alties. A Catholic church pres-
bytery also was damaged.
In these areas it appeared
that the Germans were bent on
leaving the same sort of sham-
bles as were left at Coventry,
Southampton and other cities.
The Luftwaffe spared virtu-
ally all of the rest of the coun-
try and shattering a 48-hour
calm in which no-bombs fell
on Britain. It was the long-
est period of complete quiet
Britain has known since Aug.
7.
The furious attack continu-
ed early today with no signs of
slackening.

94 NEK FIRMS
OPEN ITEMS
■IK 0GTDBEH
Austin, Tex.—A total of 94
new firms appeared on the
Texas business scene—under
corporation charters from the
Secretary of State's office—
during October, representing
an investment of $1,171,000,
University of Texas business
statisticians report.
Both number and capitaliza-
tion of new firms fell below
October, 1939, when 113 es-
tablishments capitalized- at a
total of $1,334,000 were char-
tered, the University’s Bureau
of business Research survey
revealed.
This number was ten more
than were authorized during
September, though total capi-
talization declined 10.6 per
cent.
Merchandizing concerns ac-
counted for a third of the new
firms, 32 being given charters,
as compared with 25 in Sep-
tember.
Manufacturing companies
increased from 11 fa Septem-
ber to 19 in October, but drop-
ped five under the October,
1939, total.
Twenty-four foreign corpo-
rations were granted permits
to operate in Texas.

London, Dec. 8. (UP)—
Striking with new fury at the
vitals of Germany’s war ma-
chine, British bombers were
reported tonight to have re-
duced many buildings of one
of the Reich’s biggest stee!
works to “blazing heaps qf
rubble” and set fire to six
Nazi-held naval bases and sea-
ports.
In what may have been the
RAF’s mightiest blow to date,
nearly 4,000 incendiary bombs
and many high explosives
were unleaded last night upon
the huge press and Walz-
werke steel works and blast
furnaces as Dusseldorf, en-
gulfing the plants in raging
flames, the air ministry said.
; At the same time American-
made Hudsons of the coastal
command were battering the
French naval bases of Brest
and Lorient, the Nazi “inva-
sion ports” of Dunkirk, Ant-
werp, Calais and Boulogne
and a chain of German air-
dromes stretching across
France, Holland and Belgium.
Naval shipyards and docks
at Brest and Lorient were said
to have been ripped by “great
explosions and huge fires” as
tons of bombs smashed upon
them.
Great fires were storied not
only at the steel works but in
many parts of Dusseldorf it-
self, lying on the right bank
of the Rhine 24 m3 Is north-
west of Cologne, it was stated.
Dusseldorf, with a popula-
tion of more than 500,000, is
the “industrial capital” of the
great Ruhr valley.
Four British planes were
lost in the night’s attacks, the
air ministry admitted.
• The successful think them
selves cleverer than others;
they who fail, more unfortu-
nate.
Coilege Station, Dec. 6.—
As the sequence to a referen-
dum, a Federal order effec-
tive December 1 and affecting
148 Louisiana and Texas
dairymen supplying the
Shreveport market, has been
signed by the secretary of ag-
riculture, the Surplus Market-
ing Administration announces.
Returns of the ’ referendum
showed that 108 of 120 votes
cast favored an “individual
handler" type of price pooling
agreement, which provides for
payment of uniform prices to
the producer according to the
U3e of milk by the handler to
whom he delivers. No produc-
ers were presented by a coop-
erative association in the ref-
erendum.
Minimum producer prices
were established as follows:
$2.45 a hundredweight for
class one milk (primarily fluid
milk and milk drinks); and
prices determined by formu-
las based on the price of but-
ter for class 3 and class 4 milk.
Class 3 is milk used for ice
craem and ice cream mix;
class 4 is ssed for a milk pro-
duct other than those in classes
2 and 3, and plant shrinkage
up to two percent of receipts.
A special producer price of
$2 a hundredweight would
apply to milk disposed of un-
der any program which might
be developed and approved
for low income families, in-
cluding persons on relief.
The Federal order parallels
the terms of a Federal market/
ing agreement. The agree-
ment submitted to handlers
was not signed by the requir-
ed minimum representing one

Dallas, Tex^ Dec. 8. (UP)
—The Texas Aggies, once-
beaten but still the dominant
football team in the South-
west, last night accepted an
invitation to play Fordham in
the fifth annual Cotton Bowl
game.
Prof. Henry Trantham of
Baylor University, president of
the’ Southwest Athletic Con-
ference, announced from Waco
that the Aggies had accepted
his official invitation to be
the home team in the New
Year’s Day game in Delias.
The power-packed Aggie
team, winner of IS of its last
20 games, automatically was
given the home team bid when
Southern Methodist Univer-
sity bowed ont of the Cotton
Bowl picture today after win-
ning half a share of the South-
west Conference title by beat-
ing Rice Institute 7-6 at Hous-
ton.
, The Aggies defeated SMU
19-7 here Nov. 9.
Starting this year, the South-
west Conference winner will
be offered the host team bid in
the Cotton Bowl.
Agreement act of 1937. The
order is binding on handlers
fa the Shreveport market.
The record of evidence and
testimony of producers, han-
dlers and others at a Federal-
State public hearing at Shreve-
port August 28 and 27, was
the basis for preparing the
marketing program. Produc-
ers had testified that unstable
marketing conditions resulting
from lack of uniform and
equitable producer prices
made joint Federal-State reg-
ulation necessary in the
Shreveport market.
The hearing was requested
half of the milk volume fa the by the Cooperative Dairy as-
Shreveport market. The Fed-
eral order, however, was is-
sued by the secretary with the’
approval of the president fa
accordance with provisions of
the Agricultural Marketing
aociation, a regional producer
cooperative.

GIVE COTTON GIFTS FOR
CHRISTMAS
The Texas cotton industry, through the State-wide
Cotton Committee of Texas, is sponsoring a “Cotton
Christmas” by urging the people to give cotton gifts.
This has for its purpose an increased domestic con-
sumption of cotton, since the European wars have
virtually cut off our export trade.
By official proclamation the Governor of Texas, and
the Mayor of the City of Timpson, have declared the
month of December as “Ckrtton Christmas Gift
Month.” This is an urgent appeal to everyone to do
everything possible to promote an increased domestic
consumption of cotton, and at this time it can be
done through a “give cotton gifts” campaign.
