Lions Play Clifton
Cagers Wednesday
The Junior College Lions open
their conference cage race here
Wednesday night, facing Clifton
Junior college in the season’s
opener. •
The Lions have engaged a num-
ber of college units in pre-con-
ference tilts and though failing to
win their share, made a credit-
able showing and are due to latch
on to a few wins this season,
which would be an improvement
over last season’s performance,
when they failed to chalk up a
single victory.
The team is tutored this year
by Coach Pat Murphy. The game
here tomorrow night is slated to
start at 8 o’clock.
The Lions go to Cisco Thursday
night for a conference game with
the junior college quintet there.

294 Cases Tried
During 1948 in
District Court
While there were 294 cases dis-
posed of by Judge Ben W. Boyd
in 16th district court during 1947,
, this figure was considerably short
of the number of cases filed, 351,
and there were 1,237 cases pend-
ing at the beginning of 1948, as
' compared with 1,180 cases on file
at the beginning of 1947.
These figures are misleading,
however, Martin Davis, district
clerk explained inasmuch as some
of the suits have been on the
dockets for at least 10 years, no
instructions having been received
by him to remove them from the
dockets.
Thirtv tax suits, 134 divorce
* suits, 11 annulments of marriages,
253 civil suits and 38 criminal

,. , vear Only- four trials by jury
• were required, Judge Boyd acting
in the remainder of the cases.
There was a decline in divorce
Cases last year, 134 divorces be-
ing granted and 141 cases dis-
posed of. That left a carryover of
476, inasmuch as there were 438
cases on the docket at the begin-
ning of the year and 179 new
cases filed. In 1946, there were
218 cases filed, 203 disposed of
and 186 divorces granted.

the various dockets is as follows:

Texans Watching
Own Solons Today
As Congress Opens
By CLAY HICKERSON
Associated Press Staff
Texans will be watching their
own members of congress today,
as the 80th congress enters its last
scheduled session.
Naturally enough, Texans say,
their delegation on Capitol Hill is
the most colorful in Washington.
First, the senate:
Tom Connally—the senior sen-
ator. A powerful orator. When
Connally gets up to speak, there
is rarely a vacant chair. Every
member of the Texas delegation,
with one exception, was on hand
to congratulate Connally last year
when he finally put over his nom-
ination of Joe Dooley for U. S.
district judge, despite the protests
Wilbert Lee O’Daniel—the jun-
ior senator. Has friends in the
house and senate, but few from
Texas in Washington. Is now op-
posed for his seat by former Gov.
Coke Stevenson. Has not an-
nounced his own intentions.
Then, there’s the house side of
the Capitol:
Ed Gossett of Wichita Falls —
Fiery and competent speaker.
Member of the strong and very
important judiciary committee.
Called by many members of the
house of representatives it’s most
able man. Against promiscous im-
migration. He is alarmed by anti-
semitism in the U. S. likes to take
jibes at New Yorkers, especially
Emanuel Cellar, a fellow commit-
tee member.
W. R. (Bob) Poagc of Waco —
They call him globe - girdling
Bob in the Thursday luncheons of
the delegation, because he rarely
misses a junket. He also rarely
misses a chance to plug for elec-
tric co-operatives and soil con-
servation. Is now contemplating
legislation dealing with telephone
co-ops.
Omar Burleson of Anson—serv-
ing his first term. Former con-
gressional secretary. Polite. Nifty
dresser and likes shirts with
matching ties . . . and bow ties.
Wingate Lucas of Grapevine—
serving his first term. Also a
former congressional secretary.
Secretary of the delegation. Takes
leading part in delegation affairs,
and an officer in the Texas State
society.
Olin Teague of College Station
champion of the disabled veteran
and Texas A&M college, students.
Serving his first full term after
being elected to succeed Judge
Luther A. Johnson of Corsicana,
now a member of the U. S. tax
court. Keeps busy learning the
congressional ropes. Also studies
foreign affairs problems.
Frank Wilson of Dallas—con-
servative exponent among the
new members. Pays more atten-
tion to his mail and his vote than

BORDEAUX—If you are plan-
ning to travel in postwar France,
bring a lot of patience and mon-
ey. It also helps to have had bat-
tle experience. These conclusions
result from a 1,000-mile jeep trip
from Paris to Lyon-Marseille-
Toulouse-Bordeaux.
You’ll need:
Patience — because you’ll find
yourself in hptels without elec-
tricity, or water, or both. There
will never be any soap.
Money — because it’s a myth
that life is less expensive in the
country than ip Paris. Also the
official price of gasoline is 86
cents a gallon.
Battle experience — because
you’re liable to find yourself in a
city on the verge of insurrection.

“Everyone who comes in here
looks like a mourner,” Seiden
said. “I’ve never sold out a busi-
ness where the customers loved a
store owner like this one.”
The store owner was Nathan
(Happy Nat) Binder, and all Sei-
den had known about him was
that he was shot and killed Nov.
17 in a $21 holdup.
He began to learn more when
he put up his sign, “Going out of
business. Everything must be
sold.”
Passersby gulped at the remin-
der that Happv Nat was gone.
