mmission members will |
meet again this afternoon to con-
sider suggestion that the federal
government take over thi.' port of
Houston.
The commission met yesterday
to study the proposal, then refer-
red it to attorneys for advice.
Col. W. F. Heavey. port direc-
tor, said tiie issue was highlv
technical and involved many
points of law.
Keilera-1 operation of the port
during the current national emer-
gency was suggested in a letter
to Heavey from the Maitime Com-
mission. asking the commission
for its views.
Heavey said there was no need
for co'1, fitment operation. He said
such a move would mean entire
control of the port, of private bus-
iness as well as the work of the
navigation district.

an interesting situation. Seems
I'ks a North Korean Division
which had infiltrated through th -
m.tin defense lines had run into
a trap. Laughter—the happy, ex-
pectant laughter of fighting men
who were about to master a prob-
lem—swent the school room. Offi-
cers who had seemed grim and til-
ed leaned forward enthusiastically.
The defeatism which had dogged
our tracks for two weeks of run-
ning and lighting only to get n-
way could almost be seen floating
up the chimney of our smoking oil
stove. A chance to clobber an en-
emy division! They wanted noth-
ing more."
One thine that has heartened
the C-f's in recent days is that
their top brass has told them they
weren't going to be kicked around
any more; that they were going
to stay in Korea and fight. They
heard it from MacArthur. from
<ien. J Lawton Collins and from
Kidgwav who told them possess-
ion of "real estate" in Korea was
in" what they were fighting for.
Hi' said they were fighting to gua-
rantee that our way of life would
no! [To under and disappear be-
neath the lied tide of Communism.
There may be more withdrawals
in Korea. There may be defeats.
But every indication is that the
United Nations army is ready and
eager today to meet the enemy

AUSTIN. Tex., Jan. 24. 'U.P'_
Dams and power plants of the
lower Colorado River Authority
were closed indefinitely today to
all persons except those on offi-
cial business. And they had to get
