Hearings Due
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6—(P)-
has touched off a lively debate on
has touched off. a lively debate on
reapitol hill over the best methods
of getting American industry bock
on a peacetime footing after the last
shot has been fired.
With a wide range ot suggestions
already advanced, the House ways
• nd means committee will start
public hearings Thursday on the
broad question of war contract re-
negotiations.
A prime issue is whether manu-
facturers now holding government
contrasts should be permitted to
wild up sufficient profit reserves
to enable them to shift back quick-
! ter civilian production. Purpose
of the renegotiation law was to
prevent "excessive” profits, and the
t congressional farm bloc is keeping
• wary eye on what Chairman Ful-
mer (D-SC) of the House agricul-
1 ture committee calls the "large,
monopolistic groups."
% % e
Representative Eberhart er (D-Pa)
Game forward today with an "in-
sure-the-risk" plan for financing
postwar reconversion, with the fed-
ciai government guaranteeing up to
15 percent of business loans ad-
vanced by private banking institu-
1 tions. A somewhat similar proposal
•as been suggested by Representa-
■ live Dewey (R-111), who was as-
sistant secretary of the treasury
under President Coolidge and now
is a member of the ways and means
■ committee
4 Eberharter, asserting this proce-
dure would unfreeze money lying
id’e in banks and speed the change-
over to civilian production, said:
"Under the plan I am advocating
banks would have sound insurance
against ri-k. And at the same time
Whey would be wary against mak-
ing unsafe loans when they carry
85 percent of the loan.
* * *
"Tils would be better than a new
and bigger WPA. for it would be
@priming the pump through regular
business channels."
From Senator Radcliffe (D-Md)
came a plea for a gradual demob-
Illzaticn of war industry when the
time comes. Any precipitate slash-
al g of payrolls and cancellation of
“contracts, he said, would cause
• misery ”
Radcliffe, member of the Sen-
ate commerce committee which aid-
ed in building up the nation’s ship-
ping fleet, also told reporters that
4 large merchant marine must be
maintained after the war even if
government subsidies are necessary.
"I can’t imagine a more hideous
mistake," he raid, "than to back off
again from the ocean.”
ALPINE, Tex, Sept. 6—(P)—Es-
tablishment of the Big Bend nation-
al park today became a reality ex-
cept for execution of a few legal
formalities.
Gov. Coke Stevenson of Texas
yesterday handed over title to the
700,000-acre tract long known as
the last frontier to the federal gov-
ernment. while a national park of -

Both the Texas governor and M
R Tillotson, regional director of
the National Park service, foresaw
the.day not too far distant when
Mexico joins the United States in
establishing an international park
as a symbol of unity between the
republics.
Stevenson, who stopped here for
the simple ceremony en route to
El Paso, where he will cross the
Rio Grande into Mexico tomorrow
on the start of a seven-day good
neighbor tour, noted that represen-
tatives of the Mexican government
attended, saying:
"It is significant that the Mexi-
can government is represented be-
cause some day Mexico will set
aside a similar area across the Rio
Grande so that the first internation-
al park anywhere along the south-
ern border of the United States
may be established.
“It will continue to be a cul-
tural bond between the peoples of
the two nations, that can be streng-
thened by other means from time to
time.
FREDERICKSBURG, Tex. Sept.
6—OF)—Funeral rites were being ar- !
ranged today for Alvin H A. Cren-
welge, 42. and his wife, 37. who were
fatally wounded in a shooting at
their farm home three miles west
of here yesterday.
A verdict that Mrs. Crenwelge,
who was shot above the heart and
killed almost instantly, died ot
“gunshot wounds inflicted by her
husband” was entered by Justice oi
the Peace William Bruns.
Crenwelge died several hours
later in a hospital here.
A 13-year-old son told Justice
Bruns that he was working in the
| barnyard w hen he heard three
| shots. Another son. 11. had run .to-
ward the home of neighbors about
a half mile away before the shoot-
ing started.

more of an ingredient used in a

The venom. Davis says, is valu-
able as an aid in stepping up blood
coagulation and has many uses in
the treatment of battlefield ail-
ments.
"We find," the veteran snake col-
lector said, “that venom is playing
an important i rt in treatment of
shock and nervous disorders among
troops.
"It is used in preparing an anti-
snake bite treatment Eye troubles
which sometimes follow shock and
battle Jitters also are aid d by use
of this preparation ”
Davis, whose 15 years of snake
study include a trip to Africa with
the late Martin Johnson, sells the

From Prison Cell
By NANCY PHILIPS
"Have you any children?" Land-
lady Mrs. W. S. Harrison, 1436

heard she was renting rooms.
"No children or pets,” several said
quickly.
"Well, I'm sorry. I am only
renting my rooms to soldiers’
wives with babies," Mrs. Har-
rison replied.
Applicants gaped and the
word got around like wildfire.
"Would you believe it, Mrs.
Harrison is renting her rooms
only to wives with babies.”

Stalingrad Movie
Held Objectionable
NEW YORK, Sept.M——The
National Legion of Decency has
classed "The City That Stopped
Hitler—Heroic Stalingrad," Russian
documentary film, as "objectiona-
ble in part."
In its weekly appraisal of mo-
tion pictures, the organization rated
the film as "Class B" and said it
tended to "incite hatred of the per-
sons of enemies and to be excess-
ively gruesome."
The film shows scenes taken by
Red army cameramen, eight ol
whom were reported killed on the
assignment.
Wives who have had many doors
slammed in their faces when land-
lords spied their youngsters rush-
ed to the welcoming arms of Mrs.
Harrison. Her four rooms were
quickly rented.
Mrs. Harrison has earned the re- 1
spect of the neighborhood (nobody
even makes a complaint when all
babies cry at once) and the ever-
lasting gratitude of her renters.
As for Mrs. Harrison, she is “only
doing my part. I know how it is.
I have three children of my own
and the landlord asked me to move
from our apartment on North
Seventh following the birth of my
third child.”
"This is one the last steps In the 1

de spotted an eight-foot rattle-
Tnake on a carriage rack. He dived

Gardener Succeeds
Beyond All Dreams
NEW YORK. Sept 6.—(PP)—When
Mrs Ruth Hicks went to water her !
"snake plant” she found it had
sprouted a snake.
Coiled around the plan, so called
because of its glossy surface, was
a copperhead.
Police came on the run to the
second story apartment and trapped
the Invader.
Mrs. Harrison and her husband,
employe of Rose Construction com-
pany, had a hard time finding an-
other place to stay. Eventually they
rented a whole house, vowing to
rent the extra rooms to soldiers'
wives and their babies.
However, the house was bare of
furniture and baby beds don't grow
on trees. But that didn’t worry
Mrs. Harrison. She has lived in
South Taylor county all her life 1
and she visited the farms in that |
area, gathering up baby beds and i
other necessary equipment until she
had enough for the four rooms.
Then she put the ice box in the 1
hall so it would be convenient for
all four mothers and she allows the
tenants certain kitehen privileges
providing they don’t dirty the dish-
es. She can get no help.
Haring seven children around
the house bothers Mrs. Harri-
son so little that she teaches pi-
ano lessons to 35 other children
who come lo her home studio
during the week. She studied
music under Dean Edwin E.
Young at Hardin Simmons Uni-
versity and has taught piano for
12 years, beginning when she
was very young.
