Local Minister
Recommended By
Tennessee Chief
J. T. Marlin, minister of Fourth
and Elm St., Church of Christ here,
in obtaining references for pass-
ports, etc., and in organization of
an European tour this summer, re-
ceived one from Governor Frank
G. Clement of Tennessee which his
friends say he will probably keep
beyond the purposes of this sum-
mer’s trip.
The letter “to whom it may con-
cern in regard to Hon J. T. Mar-
lin, minister", says:
"This Is to advise that the under-
signed has been personally ac-
quainted with Mr. J. T. Marlin for
a period of many years dating back
to my childhood.
"This gentleman has served as
a minister in some of the finest
churches of the South and is known
far and wide for his service to
God and for his integrity as an in-
dividual.
"My association with Brother
Marlin makes it a pleasure to
write this letter of introduction
and commendation and permits me
to recommend him as being among
the finest of the great citizens of
which Tennessee is so proud.
"Brother Marlin has recently ex-
panded his work to include service
to the great state of Texas but we
of Tennessee still claim him as our
own.
“I know of nothing 1 could say
about this man which is not good
and complimentary and I would
gladly answer any specific ques-
tions from any source desiring
such information.
Minister Marlin will conduct
another Holy Land and European
tour, leaving here June 8 by plane
and returning July 17. The itiner-
ary includes France, Egypt, Iaiban-
non, Syria, Jordan, Israel, Greece,
Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Bel-
gium, Holland and England.
Among those from here planning
to make the trip are Mrs. Jewel
Watson and Miss Earlene Bennett.
Oil Imports Cause
Over Supply Here
•LOS ANGELES, June 3-UP-A
noted oil executive blames import-
ing of domestic crude oil for caus-
ing an over-supply in the country
and prices that "are too low.”
The dismal domestic crude oil
picture was described at a press
conference Tuesday by Frank M.
Porter, Oklahoma City, president
of the American Petroleum In-
stitute.
The API’s Pacific Coast produc-
tion division is holding its annual
spring meeting here.
Crude oil prices have not kept ,
pace with the cost of living, Porter l and buggy boundaries. For a while,

Recreation Plans
For Farm Families
Are Given Stress
COLLEGE STATION - There
is a growing appreciation of the
importance of recreation for farm
and ranch families in Texas. Part-
ly because of mechanization and
partly because they make more
efficient use of their time and ef-
fort, farm and ranch families seem
to have more leisure time than in
1903 when the first farm demon-
stration was established in Texas.

statement Kerr made Monday that
Treasury Secretary George M.
Humphrey had surrendered his au-
thority to fix the interest rate on

to destroy the value of government
bonds.”

Director of the Alabama Exten-

themselves through tooth decay,
anemia, rickets, pellagra, or other
deficiency diseases," writes Mr.
Davis in April Farm and Ranch

energy, constant fatigue, digestive

that wholesome breakfasts, lunch-

Army Spends $15 Billion
WASHINGTON, June 3 — UP—
The Korean was has cost about
$15 billion in Army expenses alone,
Army Secretary Robert T Stev-
ens estimated Tuesday before a
Senate Appropriations subcommit-
tee.
there was no replacement. People
liked running into town for their
recreation, hut gradually found
that something was missing. So
they began to center the recrea-
tion again in the home and com-
munity.
Miss Moore says in 1952 these
leaders were given training for rec-
reation programs in the communi-
ties. She personally conducted 26
recreation training schools with
more than 1500 leaders attending
from 56 counties. During the five-
day sessions the group learned to
sing and play together, and to
study the philosophy of recreation
for their communities. They prac-
ticed the necessary planning and
conducting of recreation tech-
niques.
As a result, the specialist says
county extension agents conducted
more than 1200 recreation train-
ing meetings attended by nearly
40.000 persons. The leaders them-
selves held more than 3,500 meet-
ings where recreation was included
for more than 85,000 persons at-
tending.
During 1953. the specialist said
several special features of recrea-
tion were emphasized. Family rec-
reation was one of the more im-
portant because of the need for ail
members of the family to plan
and play together. Special train-
ing was also included in camp-
ing and song leadership.
selling below par are the "inevit-
able" result of Truman adminis-
tration policy to keep bond interest
rates down.
In the House, Rep. Wright Pat-
man 'D-Tex.i declared that if not
stopped soon the “terrifying, shock-
ing” decline in U. S. bond prices
may lead to economic "disaster.”
He said the Federal Reserve Board
should resume its former policy of
supporting bond prices. If it does
not. "Congress should take a hand
and do something about it,” Pat-
man said.
Patman argued there is a con-
nection between the bond price de-
cline and the slump in farm prices.
Korean War Cost
$15 Billion Now
WASHINGTON. June 3 -UP-
Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens
estimated Tuesday that the Korean
war has cost about $15 billion in
Army expenses alone.
Stevens testified before a Senate
Appropriations subcommittee in
support of the Army’s request for
$13,671,000,000 in the year begin-
ning July 1.
The secretary said about $1 bil-
lion was trimmed from President
Truman’s Army request but that
about $2.5 billion was added to
underwrite a large portion of Ko-
rean war costs. These costs were
not previously included iti year-to-
year budget estimates.

400 Pound Sow In
York Makes Trouble
NEW YORK. June 3 UP-It took
seven policemen, a milkwagon and
a low truck three hours Monday
to haul a 400-pound sow from the i
gutter in front of a Bronx bar
to the local pokey
Patrolman George Dullaghan
spotted the hefty porker foraging
grub and called for assistance. The
police reinforcements then enlist-
ed the aid of a low truck to hoist
the pig onto the milk wagon and
drive it to jail. Then Dullaghan
pulled the reluctant porker into
the police station with a rope
while his six fellow officers pushed
from behind.

from.
