Rock Hudson namec
star of the year
theatre owners, 1957
Rock Hudson, starring’ current-
ly with Robert Stack and Dorothy
Malone with Jack Carson in Uni-
versal-International’s “The Tar*
nished Angels,’’ Saturday mid-
night, then Sun., Mon., Tues. at
the Rialto Theatre, was cho en as
winner of the coveted Star of th3
Year award by the Theatre Own-
ers of America.
Hudson’s selection marked the
first time the TOA picked for its
highest tribute a star who was
developed by a motion picture
studio as a part of a talent de-
velopment program. Previous
winners were Danny Kaye, James
Stewart and William Holden.
TOA had to. i urged
studios to develop new stars and
its selection of Hudson, a product
of Universal-International’s star-
builJing program, emphasized this
vital industry effort.
Born in Winnetka, 111., Hudson
had no previous experience as an
actor when he was discovered for
the movies. A World War II Navy
veteran of the South Pacific, he
was driving a truck in Los An
geles when a fellow - driver
brought him to the attention of a
Hollywood agent. U-I placed him
under exclusive contract and in-
tegrated him into its program of
developing star material through
training and increasingly import-
ant film roles.
Now, 37 pictures later, TOA’s
recognition of Hudson’s No. 1
star stature vendicates Univer-
sal’s faith in this program. Hud-
son’s outstanding performances
in recent years include those in
“Magnificent Obsession,” “All
That Heaven Allows,” ‘'Written
On the Wind,” “Battlo Hymn”
and “Giant,” for which he won
an Academy Award nomination.
ROCK HUDSON, named “Star of
the Year,” has Robert Stack,
Dorothy Malone, Jack Carson and
Robert Middleton for his co-stars
in Universal-International’s extra-
ordinary new drama, ‘‘The Tar-
nished Angels.”
Sect branded as
non-American put
out of US Armory
KILGORE — Some 550 mem-
bers of the Jehovah’s Witnesses,
a pacifist religious sect, were
ousted from the National Guard
Armory at Henderson, Rusk
County, in the midst of a 3-day
assembly, a Kilgore member of
the gioup reported Tuesday.
Maj. Gen. Albert Sidney John-
son of Dallas, commander of the
49th Armored Division, Texas
National Guard, issued the evic-
tion order after a subordinate
notified him of the nature of the
meeting.
During the war, General John-
son told The News Tuesday, mem-
bers of the Jehovahs Witnesses
“pleaded exemption from either
combat or non-combat service.’’
They also refuse to salute the
American flag.
“This type of organization
using the armory is incongru-
ous to the intended use of a
building where soldiers are
trained,” said Johnson. “It is
not a public building.”
The Witnesses, representing
about 20 East Texas congrega-
tions, had been granted use of the
just-completed armory by the
commander of Henderson’s Na-
tional Guard Company. The meet-
ing opened Friday and continued
in the armory through Saturday
until the group was ousted.
E. R. Deere, presiding minister
of the Kilgore Jehovah’s Wit-
nesses congregation, said the as-
sembly learned of General John-
son’s order Saturday morning.
Members of the sect sought aid
from officials in Dallas, Austin
and Washington, but with no suc-
res.-, said Deere. The group was
unable to contact Gov. Price
Daniel.
The ejection order was “hum-
iliating” and “untimely,” said
Deere.
Tuberculosis can be prevented,
yet about 100,000 new eases of
TB are reported in the United
States every year.

Purchase of Servel
Inc. by Whirlpool
company announced
Enthusiastic endorsement has
come from Lone Star Gas Com-
pany management in Dallas re-
garding the January 6 announce-
ment that Whirlpool Corporation
of St. Joseph, Michigan, has pur-
chased from Servel, Inc., all fa-
cilities, including patents, prop-
erty and equipment, relating to
the Servel gas refrigerator and
ice maker.
RCA Whirlpool will be the
trade name of the gas refriger-
ator to be manufactured by the
Whirlpool Corporation.
"Lone Star Gas Company is en-
thusiastic over the purchase by
Whirlpool," Chester L. May of
Dallas, Lone Star senior vice
president, said recently. "We
plan vigorous promotion of this
modern home appliance and it is
expected that Whirlpool’s large
marketing organization of dis-
tributors and dealers will also ag-
gressively promote the refriger-
ator.
“The large research and engin-
eering facilities of Whirlpool as-
sure splendid quality and fine
performance of the gas refriger-
ator,” Mr. May said. “Whirlpool
is one of the largest and most
capable manufacturers of house-
hold equipment in America, hav-
ing gross some $400 million in
sales in 1957.”
May said that Whirlpool will
honor all present warranties. He
added that Lone Star has and will
continue to have replacement
parts as needed by present own-
ers of the gas refrigerator.
Purchase of the Servel facil-
ities by Whirlpool was announced
by Elisha Gray II, Whirlpool
president, who said the negotiat-
ed purchase price is approximate-
ly $6,500,000 cash.
"Servel, in turn,” he added,
“has paid ua $1,600,000 to as-
sume its contractual obligations
to fulfill unexpired warranties.
The purchase includes a manu-
facturing building of about 750,-
000 square feet located on about
20 acres of land in Evansville,
Indiana, an adjoining 4-acre
parking lot, and specialized ma-
chinery, equipment, fixtures,
tools, dies, jigs and inventory.
The purchase also includes all
Servel patent rights relating to
the gas refrigerator and auto-
matic ice maker.”
Mr. Gray said Whirlpool was
already manufacturing gas appli-
ances comprising combination
washer-dryers, dryers and ranges,
and that a gas water heater and
a gas incinerator are being en-
gineered. The addition of a gas
refrigerator, he pointed out, will
not only make possible an all gas
line of major appliances, but will
also be an addition to the full
line of major appliances to which
whirlpool Coproration is dedicat-
ed.
“We will move swiftly,” said
Mr. Gray, “to reactivate the pro-
duction of the gas refrigerator
and the automatic ice maker."
GOODWILL THANKS PUPILS
OF BELLS SCHOOLS
FOR AID TO HANDICAPPED
“The children of Bells schools
have made an important contri-
bution to the rehabilitation of the
handicapped,” a Goodwill Indus
tries representative said in ex-
pressing appreciation for the stud-
ents’ recent collection of discard-
ed clothing for Goodwill.
Approximately 75 bags of used
clothing collected by the school
children have been taken to
Goodwill’s workshops where they
will help to provide employment
for handicapped men and women
from throughout this area.
“We want to thank the parents,
school teachers and officials, as
well as the students themselves,
lor their cooperation in this ser-
vice project,” the Goodwill
spokesman said.
In Goodwill Industries work-
shops over 300 handicapped per-
sons earn a living and learn a
trade by repairing and cleaning
discarded articles for resale
through Goodwill’s non-profit
stores. After the articles are re-
conditioned they are sold at nom-
inal prices to low-income families.
The proceeds from the sales pay

PUBLIC INVITED TO TAKE
PLANTS TO STOCK SHOW
FORT WORTH —The general
public will have an opportunity
to learn more about plants that
grow on their property during
the grass judging contest at the
1958 Southwestern Exposition
and Fat Stock Show.
“Every farmer, rancher and
landowner has some plants on his
place that he wants to know more
about,” states Rollans Hill, Soil
Conservation District Supervisor
from Antelope. Hill is superin-
tendent of the grass contest.
He pointed out that specialists
from Texas A&M College and the
Soil Conservation Service will be
present to identify and discuss
any plant brought to the stock
show.
A display of 100 different
plants from all sections of Texas
also will be on exhibit. Discus-
sions will begin at 10 a.m. Sat-
urday, Feb. 1. The grass judg-
ing contest for high school stud-
ents will be held at 8 a.m.
About 50 FFA and 4-H Club
teams from Texas and Oklahoma
are expected to compete in the
contest.
The stock show opens Jan. 24
and runs through Feb. 2.
Jan. 31 deadline
on reporting cash
wage farm worker
January 31, 1958 is the dead-
line for reporting the cash wages
paid in 195^7 to farm employees,
Ellis Campbell, District Director
of Internal Revenue for the North
Texas district, stated recently.
Farm operators or farm own-
ers who have paid as much as
$150 in cash wages to any farm
worker in their employ during
1957 must file an employer’s tax
and information return for such
farm employees. They must also
report each farm employee who
worked for them on 20 or more
days during 1957 regardless of the
amount of those wages if they
were figured on a time rather l
than a piece rate basis.
For 1957 the social security tax
rate is 4,Vi % (2)4 each for em-
ployer and employee). This tax
applies to cash wages paid to a
tarm worker up to a total of
$4200 in the year. The tax
amount must be entered on Form
943 (Employer’s Annual Tax Re-
turn for Agricultural Employees)
together with the total amount of
cash wages paid to the farm
worker. It is required that the
farm employer do this and file
with the District Director of In-
ternal Revenue at Dallas, Texas,
on or before the due date men-
tioned above.
Campbell points out that when
a farm employee meets the 20-
day a year test the farm employ-
er should count only days for
which the employee works for
cash wages figured on a time
bas-is. However, if the worker
meets this test, the farm em-
ployer must pay social security
on all cash wages paid the em-
ployee during the year (whether
on a time, piecemork, or other
basis).
Farm employees include house-
hold workers if they are employ-
ed on a farm operated for profit.
Tax-Man Sam Sez:

Now is a good time to prepare
your income tax return for 1957.
If you are not going to prepare
your tax return before January
15 and you made income of more
than $100 outside of your sal-
ary on which tax was withheld
during the Last quarter of the
year, you may be required to file
an estimated tax return, that is,
in case you haven't made one
last April 15. There are a lot of
folks who have income tax night-
mares from January 1 until April
14. These same folks often find
that when they figure their tax
at 11:00 p.m. on April 15, that
they have a refund coming in-
stead of owing additional tax. The
sooner you figure your tax, the
sooner you can dream of more
pleasant things.
