Research Institute
Already Has Taken
On New Projects
KANSAS CITY — (UP) —The
newly-formed Midwest Research
Institute — planned to aid busi-
nesses and communities in meet-
ing post-war problems —already
has taken on a number of re-
search projects for the army and
navy. Harold Vagtborg, director
of the institute, says type of the
projects cannot be revealed.
Vagtborg spoke in connection
with the first" annual meeting of
the board of trustees of the in-
stitute. A large turnout was on
hand for the meeting, with many
representatives of midwestern
communities present to learn
how their towns could plan for
the problems of peace.
Vagtborg outlined the plans
and policies under which the
institute will function and the
type of projects to be studied
immediately, particularly those
to enhance war production.
"Projects are undertaken for
individual corporations and oth-
ers," he said, "and the institute
itself will undertake studies for
the benefit of the entire mid-
western region."
He related how it already was
working on a score of projects,
in agricultural and mineral de-
velopment. He cited the corncob
as a base from which furfudal
is obtained as the type of work
to be followed. Furfural is used
in dewaxing petroleum, as a
weed killer and in the manufac-
ture of plastics.
Dr. Ernest W .Reid, New York
director of research of the corn
Products Refining company;
Maurice Holland, New York, in-
dustrial research adviser, and
Vagtborg will speak at a dinner
meeting tonight.

Two More Names
Sent Senators By
Governor Stevenson
AUSTIN (UP) — In Austin,
Governor Coke R. Stevenson has
announced two more names to
be sent to the senate for confir-
mation.
They are George B. Butler of
Austin for life insurance com-
missioner and Leonard Carleton
of Commerce for labor commis-
sioner.
He says also that he intends
to leave the name of Secretary
of State Sidney Latham of Long-
view before the senators for
confirmation.
The governor was quizzed to-
day on his announcement that
his appointees for university
regents are democrats chosen
without regard to their views on
the Rainey-regent controversy.
His answer was that new board
Chairman Dudley Woodward
had an open mind of the contro-
versy when he was chosen, but
may have made up his mind oth-
erwise since then.
Stevenson reaffirmed his
belief that the regent ap-
pointees are democrats —not.
"Texas Regulars."
Five bills are on the house
calendar for possible considera-
tion—awhile the senate program
is uncertain.
At the top of the representa-
tives' list is a committee-ap-
proved emergency bill to auth-
orize Sam Houston State Teach-
ers College in Huntsville to
make munitions for the Army.

Prison Camp
NEW YORK (UP) — General
Patton's daughter, Mrs. John
Waters, has told a New York
radio station that the Nazis
have moved their largest war
prisoner camp for American

Germany.
The internment center, says
Mrs. Waters, was transferred
from camp Oflag 64 at Schubin,
Poland, to the town of Luck-
enwalde in Germany— 65 miles
below Berlin. The new site is
known as Camp Stalag three A.
Mrs. Waters is the wife of
Colonel John Waters of the Unit-
ed States army — who is a pri-

Supreme Court Rules
Government Must
Pay Option Prices
WASHINGTON (UP) — The
United States supreme court has
ruled that the Federal govern-
ment fannot condemn land pur-
chased for war use at prices low-
er than the options.
The court split, five to three,
in the decision.
The ruling was made in the
case of four property owners
who sought, to collect prices nam-
ed in the government's options
on land obtained as a site for the
Weldon Springs, Mo., ordnance
plant.
The government condemned
the lands at a lower figure than
called for in the options. The
ninth circuit court of appeals
later ruled the option contracts
invalid.

Announces Plans
To Aid Industries
Plans to assist industries In
locating in this section of the
state are being developed by
Lone Star Gas Company, offi-
cials of the company have an-
nounced.
The company's industrial de-
partment, which aids prospec-
tive industries, is to be expand-
ed to encourage building of fac-
tories in the territory it serves.
The announcement said plans
are based on long range anti-
cipation of adequate gas sup-
plies for several generations to
come.
More than 2,000 industrial ac-
counts now depend for fuel on
Lone Star Gas Company, its rec-
ords disclose. This indicates an
abundance of resources near the
company's lines. For many years
the company's industrial depart-
ment has been accumulating in-
formation from experience with
these industries and expects to
turn this knowledge and skill to
the benefit of new industries.
"Our organization is girding it-
self for a greater Southwest,"
explained D. A. Hulcy, Dallas,
president of Lone Star. "We feel
certain this territory is on the
threshold of a marvelous growth
and we are going to do our share
in bringing a substantial portion
of desired industries to this sec-
tion. Reports of our geologists
and engineers show that indus-
tries can confidently rely on our
gas reserves for all their fuel re-
quirements over a period that
projects itself far into the future.
"We know, of course, that in
most cases fuel cost does not ex-
ceed five per cent of overall op-
erating costs. This is the very
reason that we plan to in-
vite industries to our territory
because we are certain all fac-
tors necessary* for successful
manufacturing will be here
when peace returns.
"For 35 years our company
has been developing gas sup-
plies and facilities adequate to
meet present and anticipated de-
mands. We were ready when
war came. We will be ready
when war ends and we can turn
out united energies to develop-
ment of this unequalled terri-
tory."

Charles Hoop Has
Durable Faith
HOUSTON-—(UP) — Charles
Hoop of Houston is a man of
durable faith and quick-think-
ing-
Hoop was en route to church
last night when he was knocked
down by an automobile and
dragg three-tenths of a mile in
the rain.
His most serious injury was
the loss of the seat of his pants.
Hoop was afraid the rear
wheels of the car woul d crush
him, so he grabbed the front
axle and hung on for dear life.
The motorist didn't know the 65-
year-old man was hanging on
his car until a passing motorist
stopped him and told him.
Hoop was taken to.a hospital,
but says he needed a tailor more
than a doctor —and, besides ,he
missed church.

Four Amateur Pilots
Fly Feed To Snow
Bound Dairy Cattle
BATAVIA, New York — (UP)
—Four amateur pilots, including
one woman, have done their bit
in relieving a feed crisis for far-
mer Edward Maljewski's snow-
bound dairy cattle.
Flying two ski-equipped Piper
Cub planes from the Batavia air-
port, the quartet made four land-
ings on the marooned farm near
Bethany, New York. They car-
ried in three tons of feed and on
the return trips took out 50
large cans of milk.
The pilots answered an appeal
issued bv state police, who were
unable to break through the
snow-clogged country road to
Maljewski's farm. The Maljewski
family has been isolated for
most of the week.

BREAD
No enlightened person can
find the answer to his spiritual
ne£ds or the satisfaction of his
heart's longing in the worship
of Jupiter, of Woden, of Brah-
ma, Vishnu, or the Sun. No en-
lightened mind can become a
convert to Buddha, or a devotee
of Mohammed. Neither can a
man's conscience furnish the
answer to his inner conscious-
ness, or meet the constant de-
mands of his immortal soul for
a satisfactory reply to the age
old question, "If a man die, shall
he live again?" Science cannot
demonstrate whether a man is
immortal or not. Science cannot
prove whether man in body, soul
and spirit rot together in the
grave or whether the spirit re-
turns to the God who gave it.
Only Deity can furnish the truth.
Only the Word of the living God
can offer proof that satisfies the
hungering soul. Yet, our friend,
the very condition of what is
called "Christendom" or what is
regarded by Mr. Average Man as
Christianity i,s the most prolific
source of confusion and unbe-
lief. By the unity of those who
would believe on Jesus Christ
through the preaching of the
Apostles the world was to be
brought to believe that God
sent Jesus. Yet by the disunity,
and the strife, and division, of
those who prefess to believe
Jesus is the Christ the son of the
Living God infidelity is sowed
and fostered. The competition,
wrangling, jealousy, and hatred
within the ranks of those pro-
fessing to b e "His" is one of the
greatest contributions to the
success of the campaign against
the church he built. Those who
profess to be saved and to be ac-
tive instruments unto the sal-
vation of others are too often
the active allies of the unscrup-
ulous enemy of souls. All be-
cause they do not all "speak the
same things" and continue "per-
fectly joined together in the
same mind and in the same
judgment."
