Texas City Explosion
Texas City, one of the state’s
most important industrial, chem-
ical, refinery, and export centers,
was virtually destroyed and lev-
eled to the ground by a series
of disastrous explosions which
rocked the Gulf Coast sector
Wednesday morning. Continuing
explosions on ships anchored at
the port nearby and in chemical
plants, refineries, and oil storage
tanks throughout the day, Wed-
nesday night and early Thursday
made rescue work difficult.
It was considered the most ter-
rible disaster in several decades
in the state. The complete cas-
ualty list, which is reported to
run into the hundreds, will not
be available for days until a
er would do that these days, but j final count can be made.
Cause of
the first explosion,
which was heard as far as 200
miles away, was attributed to the
blowing' up of a French ship,
“Grand Camp”, which had loaded
ammonioum nitrate, (used in fer-
tilizer). Fire on board the ship
was fought by 25 Texas City

Nothing has been* seen or

were blown to bits as the fires

A Red Cross dispatch late
Wednesday night said that 500
bodies had been recovered. Sev-

the sort of Screwball farmin that j

go becauze he is always behind

Chief purpose of the sessions,
according to church officials, will
be to access the losses suffered
with everything. He’s too slow i by Lutheranism during the war,
to evaluate its position in the
world situation today, and to lay
the groundwork for a new, solidi-

CM Service Examination
For Legion Help
Civil service examinations for
Housekeeper and Janitor were
announced today according to a
statement made by E. M. Wray
Executive Secretary, Board of U.-
S. Civil Service Examiners, Vete-
rans Administration Hospital,
Legion, Texas. Salaries of these
positions which will be filled
from $1690 per annum to $2020
per annum.
No written test is required for
these examinations. Applicants
will be rated on the basis of their
American Section. Dr. Long will
speak on the subject, “The Place
of the Lutheran World Federa-
tion in the World Today.”
A highlight of the assembly
will be a solemn service of wor-
ship, on the evening of the
Fourth of July, which is to be
preceded by a procession of the
delegates in their vestments and
academic robes. Addresses will
be given at the service by Dr.
Fry of the United Lutheran
Church in America; Bishop Ei-
vind Berggrav, Primate of the
Church of Norway; and Mr.
Chen Kai Yuan, prominent lay
member of the Lutheran Church
of China.
Problems to be discussed by
the delegates will include the
Church and the State, the Luther-
an Church and the ' ecumenical
movements, foreign missions, ev-
angelism, lay organizations, re-
construction projects, material-
ism, secularism, nihilism, com-
munism, the decline of morals,
race relations, refugees and dis-
placed persons.
The assembly will also be
asked to adopt a proposed con-
stitution for the Lutheran World
Federation.
The sessions at Lund will mark
the fourth assembly of the
Lutheran World Federation. It
was organized at Eisenach, Ger-
many in 1923 and met at Copen-
hagen, Denmark in 1929 and
Paris, France in 1935.
With the advent of World War
II, the American Section of the
Federation was the only group
to function without hindrance.
Churches in the Northern and
Central European Groups were
enmeshed in the conflict and
their activities in many realms
of endeavor were brought to a
virtual standstill.
Three showers within a four-
day period in Harper have reg-
istered a total of only .53 points,
slightly more than half an inch,
for the month of April to date,
according to Otto Rahe, official
L.C.R'.A. observer here.
On Thursday of last week .13
were recorded; on Sunday .27
points and on Monday another
shower amounted to only .13 of
an inch. More rain is needed
for small grain crops in the field,
although range conditions are
generally conceded to be good
with plenty of grass available to
stock for the time being.
The dinner was arranged, cook-
ed and served by Mrs. Joe Croom
and her Home Economics Class.
The tables were arranged in “T”

flowers. Mrs. Max Lange gave

Plates for Passenger Cars Have
Been Received After Man-
ufacturing Delay Caused
By Metal Shortage.
Metal license plates to replace
the paper “stickers” that were
issued upon payment of the li-
cense fee for 1947, were received
on Monday by the office of Tax
Assessor-Collector Wm. M. Pet-
mecky. The plates are now be-
ing distributed and the highway
department urges all motorists
to call for them at the earliest
opporunity.
The highway department was
unable to obtain enough metal
for plates for all counties by the
time the registration period came
around and submitted paper
“stickers” in 78 counties most of
which were close to Austin, but
included such large counties as
Jefferson, Orange and Galvest-
on in South Texas. Many of the
counties are still waiting for the
metal plates and it may be the
end of this month before all of
them are delivered.
Car owners are requested to
bring the license receipt and title
to the car to obtain the metal
plate. This will be necessary so
that no mistakes may be made in
giving out the metal tags to
cars other than for which intend-
ed.
The late distribution of metal
plates wll seriously handicap the
tax offices with their rural as-
sessing which is usually done at
this time. Taxpayers can be
very helpful in making their as-
sessments, when calling for the
license plates, as this will help
make up for time lost. The is-
suance of the plates now instead
of during the registration period
virtually doubles the work and
time usually consumed in the
automobile license period.
Two metal plates are being
furnished for passenger cars
this year, just as were furnished
for trucks and pickups, the tax
office says.

cause of hazing—16 because of
injuries received.
FIFTH SESSION
The dean of the college appear-
ed before the committee as it re-
sumed its fifth session of prob-
ing into the controversy at the
college. He quoted reasons giv-
en by students for leaving the
school.
“Two students said they left
school because of injuries,” Bol-
ton said. “Hospital reports show
another 10 left because of injur-
ies incurred from hazing. In
four other cases letters from
were in-
jured by hazing and forced to
leave school.”
Bolton said another 18 students
gave as their reason for resign-
ing that they did not like “the
traditions, the morals and so on
at the college.”
Tne dean said in his opinion
hazing was worse than it had
been in 10 years.
“MORE COMPLAINTS”
Under questioning by Sen.
George Moffett of Chillicothe,
Bolston said 509 freshmen stud-
ents “dropped out” of school dur-
ing the past year—373 from the
cadet corps.
“We’ve had more complaints
from students and more letters
frorq. parents,” Bolton said. “It
used to be that we could get
word to the captain of a com-
pany and the hazing would let
up. We don’t seem to be able to
do that now.”
