Mr. Singletary came here at th?

were good. In the Y.M.C.A. aud-

same effect as a foot ball halfback
when we saw the first kick in the
game coming straight to us.
THERE was considerable specu-
lHtion here today over the res-
ignation of Attorney Gen. Mann.
In u statement today he nipped

When will the raise in the pric
of oil be realized was emphasized
in questions today in discussing
the "if and when" features of tlie
Disney bill that proposes a ."•>
cent hike for this territory.
J. D. Sandefer Jr., who v\ : s in
Washington when the house pass-
ed the measure after it had been
forced on the floor by petition is
expected to return home Satur-
day, it was said at his. office to-
day.
Some oil men here were prone
to believe that President Roose-
velt pill not veto the measure it
H gets even a bare majority in
the senate For political reasons
was given as the cause, although
in some cases the wish may have
[ been father to the belief.
; Other Texas oil leaders lut\ e
[ expfcssed I he opinion that Presi-
! dent Roosevelt will veto the
measure and emphasized that the
long road leading to final action
likely will culminate in a con-
gressional attempt to override a
presidential veto.
Initial enthusiasm over House
passage was' superceded by re-
strained optimism following an
analysis of the vote.
in smothering the motion to re-
commit the measure to committee
by 206 to 128, proponents failed
to muster the two thirds vote
that would be required to over-
ride a presidential veto.. ' This
ballot w'8s regarded as the test of
the oil bloc's strength.
Thus oil spokesmen stressed
that upon the ability of the oil
bloc--a coalition of oil-state Dem-
ocrats buttressed by Republican1*
to muster sufficient strength >o
overrule the White House Will
hinge the final decision on the oil
price issue.
•They accept as a certainty that
President Roosevelt will veto the
measure, upholding Economic
Stabilization Director Fred M.
Vinson in his refusal to sanction
the 33-cent-a-barrel price hike.

Postmaster Claude Thompson to

Christmas Fire
Warning Issued
To Householders
College Station. Dec. 17--Fatal
fires are almost a daily occurence
in Texas, and the Christmas hol-
idays offer no exception.
FT>r that reason, families should
take every precaution against ee-
cidents which might turn a happy
j season into one bf sorrow, advis-
! es Mrs, Bernicc Claytor, special-
ist in home improvement for the
A. and M. College Extension Ser-
vice. She offers these safety rules
to keep in mind:
Never decorate your Christmas'
tree with lighted candles. You
may use strings of electric lights,
but select only those strings ap-
proved by fire underwriters.
Do not allow cotton, paper, .or
other inflammable objects on your
Christmas tree.
If you pu. candles in your w in-
dows, be sure the curtains are
tied well avtay from the flames.
If you give the children electric
toys for Christmas, inspect them
to see that the cords and connec-
tions are kept in good condition.
Finally, Mrs. Claytor says, mix
common sense precautions with
your Christmas cheer, and keep
the. holidays safe, , :■'■

Washington <t-.Ui- Combat ex-
perience in this war has changed
the whole cpncepi of Army
ground organization and tactics
and brought a recession from eM-
tremcs of motorization of the
ground forces, according to Brig.
Gen. Rufus S. Ramey, command-
ing of the Army cavalry school,
"yte lound tnat once contact
was nt«de progress was normally
that, of the man on the ground,"
Ramey wrote. "We found that the
enemy stoppeil* or slowed the op-
eration of our motorized and me-
chanized units by the use of guns
on the ground or aircraft above.
In addition, that devilish depM-
opment of this war, the land mine,
h{s infested every area where a
motor or mechanized vehicle could
reasonably be expected to oper-
ate."
Under these conditions ground
.forces could often advance ai fast,
and sometimes faster and farther.

If the strike of train and, cn-

would stop all train service on the

If the strike should go into - f-

service. There is one train daily

The president left Washington
