People of Three
States Startled By
Earth Tremors
ST. LOUIS (UP) — Residents
of Illinois, Missouri and Indiana
were startled early this morning
by earth tremors which slammed
doors shut violently, rattled chi-
na and bounced furniture.
; The most decided shocks were
! felt in St. Louis county and in
J Madison Counyt, Illinois. Father
.lames MacElwane, dean of the
Institute of Geophysical Techno-
logy at St. Louis University, re-
ports that the tremors probably
arose in the St. Mary's fault,
which lies along the Mississippi
River OS miles south of St. Louis.
He adds that, the main force of
the quake is believed to have
been deep in the earth, wheih ac-
counts for the lightness of the
tremors.
Residents of Mt. Vernon, Ind.,
report feeling the tremors about
5:40 a. in. About an hour later,
the tremors were felt in Du-
Quoin, Carbondale and Herrin,
ill. Spingfiejd residents also re-
port tremors in the area.
No damage has been reported.

Belgian Boy, It,
Acted As Courier
For Underground
BRUSSELS —(UP) — Many
thousands of miles from the
great American cities where
someday he hopes to appear, an
11-year-old Belgian boy rests his
violin on his thin shoulders. He
plays with a passion' which
breeds genius — certain that he
is to become the greatest. music-
Ian in the world.
United Press Correspondent
John Parris says the music is
like a lost soul crying to be un-
leashed after four years of hate
and fear. At the hoy's side is a
black Terrier which braved with
his master the German occupa-
tion. The boy limps, for a Ger-
man boot crashed against fiis leg
shortly before Allied troops lib-
erated Brussels.
Pierre is a sensitive low-
liaiiTd little fellow pust re-
turned lo school. His leaeliei-
Kay.s he is destined to lie a
great violinist and • Pierre
agrees with all the arbor of
his full ll-years.
They were just a boy and a
dog in Brussells. Together they
hated the Nazis and together
they were fearless. Says the
United Press correspondent:
"It seems strange that a boy
so small can hate so deeply, but
Pierre had many reasons' to
hate."
First the gestapo forced hiij
father into exile. Then they
came and said fearful things to
bis mother and threatened n
arrest her. They took away all
the furniture and paintings.
They even threatened to take
his precious violin because his
music included compositions by
a German Jew named. Mendels-
sohn. '
Then a German soldier stepp-
ed on Tommy, his Terrier, and
then kicked him into the street.
All these things crowded into
his sensitive mind, says Corres-
pondent Parris. until for awhile
he laid aside his violin and toox
his gun from the cellar. He cut.
pictures of Adolf Hitler, Hein-
rich Himmler and other Nazis
from German periodicals and
pasted them up on the wall in
the garden.
For hours he would lie on
his stomach and shool at the
port raj ts dreaming of a real
gun and real Germans stand-
ing riddled with bullets from
his rifle.
Pierre saw lines of worry fur-
row deep in his mother's face.
He saw the frightened look on
his sister's face each time she
came home to tell of being ac-
costed by arrogant young Nazis
He saw men and women slip
through the garden wall of his
home at all hqurs of the flav and
night.
His mother was one of the
leaders in the underground.
There came the time when
gestapo men were stationed near
the home and the men and wo-
men did not visit his mother.
That is when his mother call-
ed him and gave him a joh.
She explained that a messen-
ger was needed hadiy in order to I
keep the resistance movement
going.
Pierre became a link be-
tween underground leaders.
And Tommy tagged along
behind the bicycle as lie j
made his rounds.
Once Pierre went to deliver i
message in the late afternoon
many miles from his home. Ho
had a puncture and started
home pushing his bike. A ges-
tapo member stopped him, since
it was after curfew hours when
he neared his hou%?, and ques-
tioned him.
The Nazi tried to frighten
Pierre. Tommy growled. The
gestapo, roan tok out his pistol
and said he was going to shoot
Tommy.
Pierre started to crry and the
man finally told him to go home
and said if he was caught om
again at night he would shoo*
both of them.
Pierre did not go out late again
but he continued as a messenger.
Now the Germans are gone and
Pierre has returned to his violin
And United Press Correspon-
dent Parris says someday Pierre
will give concerts in New York
and someday he will be applaud-
ed by the soldiers who have driv-
en the gestapo from Brussels.

Early Football
Favorites Flash
Into Limelight
By UNITED PRF.NH
New names flashed' into the
Texas schoolboy football spot-
light over the weekend as some
of the early favorites dropped by
the wayside in the second lap of
the young 1044 campaign.
Bursting into prominence
were such teams as Lubbock,
Port Arthur, Highland Park of
Dallas, Waco, Wichita Falls,
Greenville anil Sweetwater. Fav-
orites that came through were
Amarillo, Paris, Sherman, Breck-
enridge, Marshall, Tyler, and the
San Antonio twin powerhouses,
Brackenridge and Thomas Jef-
ferson.
Most noteworthy performanc-
es last weekend probably were
those turned in by Lubbock,
which nosed out the defending
champion San Angelo Bobcats 7-
G, and Port Arthur, which rout-
ed a 12-letterman Longview Lo-
bo eleven, 41-0 to establish the
coast city as a district favorite
to topple Goose Creek from its
district 14 throne.
Lubbock previously had de-
feated a good Odessa team, 18-
6, to move into the highly-re-
garded class, but Friday's toppl-
ing of the Bobcats soared the
Westerners' stock sky high. Port
Arthur was making its first ap-
pearance.
Highland Park inaugurated
its campaign with a convincing
30-0 victory over Gainesville,
Waco went beyond expectations
in trampling Jeff Davis of Hou-
ston, 47-7, Wichita Falls troun-
ced a good Riverside of Fort
Worth team 32-0. Greenville sur-
prised evert its most rabid back-
ers with a 21-12 triumph over a
tricky Corpus C'hristi eleven,
and Sweetwater whitewashed a
better than average Masonic
Home team, 27-0.
Amarillo, which now must
share the district 1 spotlight
with Lubbock, blanked Abilene,
12-0, Paris dropped Sulphur
Springs 39-6, Sherman walloped
McKinney 58-0, the same score
by which Tyler opened its dist-
rict 11 season with a victory over
Athens. Breckenridge beat Gra-
ham 28-0, Marshall walloped

Unrestricted Stock
Piling Is Sought
For Vital Metals
WASHINGTON — (UP) —
Wher. congress re-opens in No-
vember a group of western sena-
tors are expected to introduce
legislation for unrestricted stock-
piling of vital metals.
These legislators favor thi.;
plan rather than the 15-month
"freeze" provided in the surplus
property disposal bill now on
President Roosevelt's desk.
They believe their program
' would assure adequate quanti-
ties of metals for the nation's de-
fense. And they say the stock-
pile should be continued well in-
to the postwar era.
Senator Johnson of Colorado
says the nation should never
again be put in the position in
which it found itself at he out-
break of the war. For, he says, at
that time the government enter-
edthe metals market with ready
cash only to find no metals were
available.
And Senator Millikin of Col-
orado says the present 15-month
time limit will expire around th?
end of 1945 — probably, he says,
before the defeat of Japan

Savings Are True j
Credit Foundation
Bankers Declare -
CHICAGO (UP) — The 70th
annual convention of the Ameri
can Bankers Association got un-
derway this morning with an as-
sertion that the savings of peo-
ple must be recognized as the
irue foundation for credit after
the war.
President Fred Lawrence of
the AB's savings division told
the bankers:
"No people can live from hand
to mouth without risking period-
ic starvation. The adoption of
money as a medium of exchange
freed man from the handicaps
of the barter system, but not.
from the penalties of his own
impatience."
Another speaker, Agricultural
Economist Walter Garver of the
Federal Reserve Bank in Chica-
go, said that a revival of the
European farmer's disposition to
trade is one of the problems to
he solved in planning war re-
lief. He reported evidence that
European farms can start pro-
ducing soon after the fighting
stops.
