It’s an address to the adjourned legislature on the state capitol steps Wednesday at 3 p.m. with up to 50,000 persons expected un- ‘der the big old elms on the capitol grounds. Houston Next Then it’s on to Houston, where t500,000 more persons are expected to watch a downtown parade at 6 p.m. The next day—Thursday— it’s MacArthur Day in Houston and mother address in the 70,000-seat ladium at Rice. *' The genera] will drive to Gal veston Thursday about 2 p.m. from Houston, will drive down Broadway and return by the beach front. He possibly will stop for a short time at the Galvez Club and be gin his return to Houston about 4 p.m. to make his scheduled 8 p.m. speech. No Speech in Galveston No speech is planned here.

The legislative committee ar ranging the general’s address here decided today they would let the city make the airport greeting ar rangements. “Shall I arrange a loud speaker for the governor’s speech?” Mayor Destruction Begun On Foster Hall Destruction began yesterday of H 52 year old Foster Hall. The building will be completely I torn to the ground to make way 1 for plans of future campus build- P ing programs. The aged structure which was »condemned for classroom use, has i housed the military libraiy and The Battalion photo engraving lab ^ for the last few years. The third story rooms have been wused occasionaly for dark rooms | and storage spaces by campus pho tographers. The former dormitory also was the storage center for civil en gineering loboratory equipment and for newsprint of The Bat talion. The civil engineering sup plies were moved to a new loca tion in Pfeuffer Hall and the newsprint to the West wing basement of Bizzel Hall. The East wing basement of Biz zel is being converted into a photo engraving laboratory. Operations in the new lab are expected to be underway by this aftemoon or ear ly tomorrow as soon as electricians can complete installation of electric lines. Now in its new location in B «Ramp of Hart Hall, Laundry sta tion No. 3 has vacated the place it occupied in the old building for many cold winters. Foster Hall has enjoyed a wide v and varied history during the 52 years it has stood in the quad rangle which joins onto the Aca demic Building. Ross, Bolton and Nagy Halls complete the four some which were constructed on Military Walk by the Academic Building, center of loberal arts and architecture studies. Added to its many years of ser vice to the college and students is the fact that old Foster was in cluded in a motion picture cir- rulated throughout the United States several years ago. Rural Church Meeting Slated June 18 - 20 ^Top-ranking specialists | from over the nation will team up with specialists at A&M, : .in putting on'the Sixth An nual Rural Church Conference program to be held at the college : June 18-20. Dr. Daniel Russell of A&M is in charge of arrangements. The specialists include Dr. Ar thur Raper of the Bureau of Ag ricultural Economics and Dr. Carl C. Taylor, head of the Division of Farm Populatiion and Rural Life, United States Department of Agriculture; Dr. Earl Brewer, head of the Rural Church Department, Emory University, Georgia and the Rev. Garland Hendricks, of Gard- ner-Webb College, Boiling Springs, N. C. The Sears and Roebuck Founda tion of Dallas has made a contri bution for 20 scholarships to pay the maintenance of 20 rural minis ters to attend the conference. This is the third year this Foundation has supported the conference in this manner. The Progressive Farmer of Dal las has contributed two scholar ships and J. Webb Howell of Bry an has given one scholarship each year for the conference. Rural laymen as well as rural ministers are invited to the con- : ference. Weather Yesterday Temperature from 7 a.m. to .3:30 p. m. Monday ranger from a high 95 degrees to a low of 71 de grees, according to reports from tne A&M Main Station Farm. No rainfall was reported. In the early 1940’s a show en titled “We’ve Never Been Licked” was filmed on the A&M campus. Starring Noah Berry, Jr., the mo tion picture had all dormitory shots taken from Foster, not used for dormitory students at that time. The red brick structure will also cause certain others to seek a new home. Pigeons have found a home in the lofty atic which conveniently affords a big open ing for the birds to enter. The Dincan Wrecking Company of Houston sent workmen inside the building yesterday to start pre liminary operations. Partitians and stairway rails came down first. Wreckage of the building was ordered at a recent meeting of the A&M Board of Dh’ectors. W. S. Drake, Jr., of Austin asked the committee meeting. Nobody knew anything about the goveraor’s speech. “Oh, sure, he will say “Hello, general” won’t he?” Drake insisted. The governor’s secretary agreed, and then Drake asked if he could present the general an engraved seal of the city at the airport. “We thought that the best thing to give him—-nothing material,” the mayor explained. Cadillac from Houston “Not going to try to compete with our richer neighbors, huh?” Sen. John Bell of Cuero, chairman of the legislative arrangements committee commented. (At Hous ton the general will get a Cadillac.) Bell added: “That would be a good time for us to give the gen eral an enrolled copy of the reso lution (inviting the general to ad dress a joint session.)” That was decided. The next problem was control of the crowd. “I have heard rumors there will be organized booing,” said Senator Bell. “I want to be sure it will be broken up immediately.” Rangers Dispatched Capt. E. K. Browning of the De partment of Public Safety told him 15 or 20 Texas Rangers in plain clothes would be on the Capitol grounds to control things. The 40 or 50 men from the state highway patrol will work with some 80 men from the Austin Po lice Department to keep ordei\ Two of MacArthur’s old friends have been asked to sit with him on the platform for the capitol speech —Gen. Jonathan Wainwright, hero of Bataan; and Gen. Walter Krueg er, commander of the 6th army under MacArthur during the war. Lt. Gen. Leroy Lutes, 4th army commander from San Antonio; Maj. Gen. Clements McMullen, com manding officer of Kelly Airforce Base, San Antonio; and Rear Ad miral John Perry, commander of the Naval Air Station at Corpus Christi have been asked to sit on the platform. Missing Diplomats Cause Big Manhunt London, June 12 —GP)- biggest international manhunt since the collaring of Nazi war criminals at the end of World War Two kept baffled British officials busy today chasing possible clues to the whereabouts of two foreign office employes. The quest extended into the rug ged crags of the Pyrenees moun tains between France and Spain and to ships at sea in the Mediter ranean. The diplomats—brilliant, high- strung Donald D. McLean, 38, head of the American Department at the foreign office, and hand some, pleasure-loving Guy Burgess, 40, former second secretary at the Washington Embassy — vanished May 25. They were last seen in France, heading for Paris. No Evidence Foreign Secretary Herbert Mor rison told the House of Commons yesterday there was no evidence that the men had taken any docu ments with them. He urged that judgment be withheld on the ques tion of whether they might have deserted to the side of Russia. A suggestion that Burgess, at least, might be at sea aboard a small Mediterranean steamer came last night from his step-father, Lt. Col. J. R. Bassett, who dis counted reports the missing pair may have gone through the Iron Curtain to the Kremlin. “Remember he is a sick man,” Bassett said of his stepson. “He was treated by doctors in America The for severe sinus trouble and sus pected diabetes. His blackouts were very bad. A hotel employee in Foix, in Southern France, reported last night that photographs of the dip lomats resembled two men who inquired of him last Thursday if roads leading to Andorra were open. Andorra is a tiny mountain Republic between France and Spain. C of C Donates Money to A&M For Advertising The College Station Cham ber of Commerce voted yes terday to give A&M College $190 for postage to mail book lets advertising A&M to high school graduating seniors through out the state. A&M President M. T. Harring ton presented the proposal to the chamber, explaining that State appropriated money could not be used for advertising purposes. Harrington said the college wished to mail about 10,000 book lets and only 4,000 were sent when the postage fund was expended. The booklets being sent are the same that guests and students may see on the front desk of the MSC and various other places on the campus, he said. The Chamber also agreed to re imburse J. R. Oden and M. C. Pugh for money spent moving- seats to accomodate the spectators at the Little League baseball game held following the league’s open ing parade May 19. Oden and Pugh hired truck driv ers and movers to handle the 500 seats for the game. Jack Keys proposed the Cham ber present a plan for a Citizen’s Traffic Commission to the College Station City Council. The Chamber accepted the pro posal and a committee was appoint ed to go before the council. Draft Test Scheduled For MSC Robert Jacobs, director* of guid ance for the Basic Division an nounced today that men taking the Selective Service Deferment Test will meet Saturday in the Ball room of the MSC instead of in Sbisa Hall, as was formerly an nounced. This is the second of the three test to be given by the Selective Service; the next will be June 30. Everyone will be fingerprinted before the exam to prohibit any substitutions, he said. No nne will be allowed to take the examination without a ticket of admission, stamped by the Selective Service Board. Results of the exam will go to the local draft board, and defer ment of the grounds of the grade made will be left to them. Rodeo Club Meets An emergency meeting has been set for tonight at 7:30 by the Rodeo Club, its secretary reported today. It will be held in the Ani mal Industries Library. Date Bureau Planned Dateless Aggies Promised Help By DAVE COSLETT Battalion News Staff A fellow needs a girl—and vice versa. At least that seems to be the indication hereabouts at the conclusion of the first week of summer entertainment. The Friday night dance in the Grove, which got off to a very slow start, prompted one bystander to ask what had happened to the ru mored supply of girls around the campus during the summer. Male stags, in their usual over-whelming proportions, threatened for a while to be sole visitors to the dance. Agency Life Insurance Managers Meeting Here Managers from approximately 70 life insurance agencies over the United States gathered on the cam pus yesterday for a two week train ing coui’se designed to aid them in agency management. The Life Insurance Agency Man agement Association of Hartford, Conn., is conducting the classes which are being held in the Me morial Student Center. Courses are being offered in agency management for 22 com pany representatives. Most of the men registered are from Texas. H. E. Conner of Bryan is taking part in the sessions. Faculty to Conduct Classes Faculty members who are con ducting the classes are Burk Huey, Tome Irvine, Fred Pierce, Myron Bean, and Brice McEwen, all in surance management authorities. With this session, the manage ment gi’oup will be conducting the 104th training course for agency managers. The first such course was held in 1929. During the past 22 years ap proximately 5000 managers and home office executives have been graduated and many are now lead ing company presidents and field managers. Loveless Assists In setting up the College Sta tion school, the association staff was assisted by Sidney L. Love less, manager of the Central Texas Agency of the American General Life Insurance Company, with offi ces in College Station. Also instrumental in getting the course set up here was Ford Mun- nerly, vice president and agency director of that company in Hous ton, and several other prominent insurance executives in Texas. Another bystander came up with a suggestion that has been made before around these parts—for slightly different seasons. The idea is for a date bureau, a method of matching up the guys and gals who, because of lack of time or bashfulness, have thus far failed to meet one an other. And here’s the why and the how. The bureau is being set up for two main purposes. The first is to prompt more couples to attend the weekly dances and skating ses sions at the Grove. Eligible to ap ply would be all males and females of this area interested in the idea. That would include grad and undergrad students, local resi dents and college employees. The second group at which the bureau would direct its program would be week-end visitors down here to see students, married student families or members of the faculty or staff. Betty Bolander, assistant social director of the MSC, is pushing the program. She has already begun to draw cards on which applicants can list all pertinent facts includ ing height, hobbies, special inter ests, age-group desired and other useful information. She has asked interested students to fill out the cards at her desk in the front office of the MSC. The program is being drawn up with the fact in mind that dates will not be expensive affairs since the summer entertainment program offers free social entertainment. Its continuance, of course, will be contingent on the amount of repsonse in the next few weeks, Miss Bolander said. Additional ideas on the operation of the bu reau are welcome, she added. And she especially urges every one, from the youngest to the old est, to give it a try. Paving Policy, Sewage Disposal Discussed at Council Meeting Williams Accused of Saying Fating Meat Stunts Growth ’ Vice Chancellor for Agriculture D. W. Williams is mad clear through. He has been misquoted in some very public prints in a way that hurts. To add insult to injury, he has been congratulated for something he didn’t say and couldn’t say without choking. Not long ago Williams flew to Australia and New Zealand to study agricultural conditions in those countries, particularly in the field of livestock, which is his specialty and his love. While visiting “down under” he made several speeches. One day this week he received a letter from Symon Gould of “The American Vegetarian and Pro gressive Health Journal”, New York City. “My Dear Dr. Williams”, the New Yorker wrote, “I read a brief news item in the New York Times, as per enclosed, in which you main tain that Australians are getting smaller and one of the reasons for it is that they eat too much meat.” “I would greatly appreciate if you will kindly send me your full statement that was issued while you were in Sydney on this nutrition al aspect.” The clipping, enclosed, read “Australians are getting smaller and one of the reasons for it is that they eat too much meat. That opinion was expressed by Prof. D. W. Williams, vice chancellor of Texas Ag ricultural College, during a visit in Sydney, the London Sunday Ex press reports.” D. W. Williams, better known as Bill, is not only a life-long stu dent and teacher of animal husbandry, but a rancher of the old-time cow variety in his own right. The shades of red he saw after reading this statement attributed to him in the international press would put a lipstick sample card to shame. After much thought and with re markable self-control, he finally replied: “Dear Mr. Gould,” he wrote, “The report that I made a statement to the effect that “Australians are getting smaller and one of the reasons for it is that they eat too much meat” is a complete lie. I not only made no such statement; I never even thought of such an absurdity. I do not know that Australians are getting smaller. I be lieve in meat three times a day.” By BILL AABERG Battalion City Editor A' revision of city policy entitling residents to a rein- bursement of one-third cost of privately made street im provements was adopted at the regular meeting of the city council last night. Previous to last night’s revision, a resident of College Station could improve any street within the city limits with out first consulting the city council. The revision stated the city would pay one-third the cost of street improvements while the owners of adjacent prop erty pay the other two-thirds, however the city will assume no obligation to make the reimbursement without advanced knowledge and the approval of the council. The measure was introduced while the council was dis cussing a $32,000 reimbursement request made by J. C. Culpepper. His request included payments for water main ^installations and gravel-topping of Photo Lab Being Moved The Battalion photo engrav ing lab is being moved. That is the reason no pictures appear in today’s paper. Lab technicians Charles Mc Cullough and R. I). Witter re port that all equipment will be transferred from Foster Hall, former location of the lab, to the basement of Bizzel Hall, by late today. a street. The request was tabled until the next council meeting. The council voted to discontinue an agreement between the city and Dr. F. B. Clark who owns the land on which the city sewer filter beds are located. The agreement stated the city was to pay Dr. Clark $100 a month to maintain the beds. It became effective January 1, 1951. In the meantime College Station has been paying Dr. Clark $30 per month, pending final settlement, Mayor Ernest Langford said. To Continue Payments the destruction and wreckage of the old three story structure which housed the engraving lab. Three Columns of Reds Flee From United Nations Tanks Tokyo, June 12 —CP)— Three long columns of Reds fled through East Korea’s mountains today to escape being trapped by Allied tanks rambling through their fal len “Iron Triangle.” Stout new defense lines protec ted the Reds’ retreat from the East-central front. United Nations troops mopped up Reds in hills around captured Chorwon and Kumhwa. The towns formed the southera anchors of the Pypnggang Valley Iron Triangle buildup area. Chinese headed for the hills on each side of the valley. American tanks striking up roads from the Triangle to the East Coast would cut squarely across the Red escape route from the eastern front. Reds Building Forces While Reds were pulling back from the fighting fronts, unveri fied reports cropped up that they were building up new forces only 30 miles northwest of Seoul. The buildup was reported in the Kae- song-Korangpo area. This is near the foot of the al lied western flank. This flank drags southwest of the main front. It reaches from Chorwon to a point 35 miles to the southwest, running roughly along the banks of the Imjin River. While the U. N. counterattack has pushed northward along a nar rowing front, patrols have probed this long flank daily for signs of Red strength. The jagged northern front has been cut to about 75 miles. At the height of the Communist spring offensive it was 125 miles long. (Precisely what is happening on the front is hidden by tightening military censorship. (FeW front line dispatches have been permitted to come through in r-ecent days. Those few are heavily censored. (Most recent front line dis patches have been “poolers.” These are dispatches shared by the news Former TCU Prexy Dies Fort Worth, June 12 — UP) Dr. Clinton Lockhart, 93, for mer president of TCU, died yesterday. The educator, known as the “Grand Old Man” of TCU, headed the institution from 1906 until 1911. He resigned because he preferred teaching to administrative work. Later he was made dean and again resigned so he could devote his entire time to teaching and re search. He served principally as professor of Old Testament and Semitics in Brite College of the Bible until his retirement about six years ago. At 70 he began playing the vio lin. He wrote a book at 90, and in the interwening decade added another language to the 10 he al ready spoke. Dr. Lockhart was recognized as an authority on the Old Testament and in the field of Archaeology. Workmen beiran vesterdav on . The also agreed to con- .. ..,,V , tinue the $30 payments to Dr. Clark for filter bed maintenance effective July 1. In the event Dr. Clark does not want to accept the proposal, Lang ford said, the city will maintain the beds themselves, and should Clark refuse to let the city enter his property to maintain the beds, the city will take whatever action necessary to gain admission to the property for proper maintenance of the filter beds. The council action touched off an issue which has been brewing for several months. Mayor Ernest Langford was authorized by the council to bor row money from the College Sta tion State Bank to complete pay ment for poAver lines being con structed and serviced in the Col lege Hills, College Hills Woodland, Woodland Estates, and College Hills Acres section of the city. He was allowed authority so that in the event money from the sale of bonds cannot be obtained as promptly as is necessary, pay ment can be made. The city has sold $60,000 of the $200,000 utility bonds authorized and voted last night to sell $7,000 more to finance the new power lines. College Station will receive a $2,500 refund from the purchase (See Group Appointed page 4) agencies. Normal practice is for each correspondent to write his own story for his own service. (“Handouts”—reports written by military press officers—have in creased. Discussions of front line action by briefing officers have become vague.) Delaying Defense U. S. Eighth Army Headquar ters said only scattered groups of Chinese soldiers offered delaying defense of the former Red buildlup area around Chorwon and Kumhwa. Communists were reported an choring their new defense line on Kumsong. The highway town guards the escape route for North Koreans on the eastern front. Reds have a 50-mile march over mountain trails and roads from the Inje-Yanggu area of the eastern front to a highway junction above Kumsong. The highway runs from Kumhwa, through Kumsong to the east coast highway that lies under the guns of the blockading U. N. warships. When North Koreans cross this route, they would still have to' cross the Pyonggang Valley, run ning northward from the Iron Tri angle to Wonsan on the east coast. Beyond lies the next expected main Red defense line—Wonsan to Py ongyang, Red capital in western Korea. AP Correspondent George Mc Arthur reported the allies advanced warily through the mountainous east. They combed ridges which North Koreans defended bitterly for days and then abruptly aban doned. George W. (Stud) Barnes To Retire From Extension Job The long and distinguished ca reer of George W. (Stud) Barnes as specialist in animal husbandry and district head for the Agricul tural Extension Service of the Col lege System will terminate this month. Thereafter, he will be plac ed up on the Extension retired rolls. Currently, he is district agent of district six, which embraces 24 counties in the Trans-Pecos area of the state. A&M Graduates Approximately 26 of the 40 years since Barnes was graduated from A&M have been devoted to the service of his alma mater, mostly in the field of livestock. He joined the Extension Service headquarters staff in March, 1923, as beef cattle specialist. But continuity was interrupted in January, 1930, while he served two and one half years with the Federal Farm Board at Washing ton, D. C. Returning to A&M in July, 1932, he was appointed Ex tension Service animal husbandry- man, continuing in that capacity until Feb. 16, 1948, when named district agent for the southwestern area with headquarters at Fort Stockton. Barnes was born at Coleman June 22, 1887, and grew up on a combination farm and ranch. He was graduated from Corpus Christi High School in 1906, and entered A&M the next semester. He was graduated with the class of 1911 with the B. S. degree in animal husbandry. He then entered Iowa State College and did graduate work for one year 1 . His first work in his chosen field was instructor at the Okla homa A&M College 1912-14, fol lowed by three years serwice with the University of Arizona as live stock specialist. In 1917, he discon tinued this association to accept the managership of the Perrin Land-Cattle Company at Seligman, Ariz., which continued for six years. Improving Beef Barnes’ long ser-vice at A&M was directed mainly toward im proving beef animal breeding in order to bring out better types, together with closer attention to health and feeding. One of his outstanding achieve ments was work with the 4-H club members in selecting highest type animals for their feeding demon strations. To further this work, he devoted much time to judging jun ior and major shows. He demonstrated to youthful feeders improved methods of car ing for their animals and choosing rations for progressive gains in weight. Recognized By Hat His tall figure was familiar where cattlemen used to gather, and, it is said that his unique hat alone would bring recognition. The hat with sides of the crown deeply dented and the brim rolled up ward, was his headgear the year ’round. There is a legend that one of a group of ranchmen arriving in a northern city to attend a major show remarked upon hanging their hats in a hotel dining room, “Well, I see Stud Barnes is here!” The unique hat was on the rack. In 1949, Barnes was honored in having his full length portrait hung in the College Animal Industries building, and dedicated in the pre sence of a large group of persons representing the College and the cattle industry. It was painted by his wife, Mrs. Portia Barnes. Barnes’ plans for the future are indefinite, but presently he and Mrs. Barnes plan a leisurely visit in California with their son and daughter. Art Gallery Meeting Called To Plan Classes Art classes will be sponsor ed this Summer by the Art Gallery Committee of the MSC, announced Mrs. Ralph L. Terry, chairman. The lessons will be given free of charge to people in three differ ent sections which rvill include art students from the faculty, college staff, and student body. This is the first time the les sons have been offered in the Summer, Mrs. Terry pointed out. Further plans for teaching the courses during vacation months will depend on response given to the present program, she said. A meeting has been called for 7:30 p. m. in the Art Studio of the MSC for organization of these classes, Mrs. Terry announced. All students, faculty members, and college staff people are in vited to take advantage of the art program by being at the Wed nesday night meeting, the chair man added. Registrar to Accept Degree Application Applications for degrees are noAV being accepted at the Registrar’s office from all students avIio ex pect to graduate at the end of the Summer session, announced H. L. Heaton, registrar. Any student who expects to complete the requirements for either a Baccalaureate or Master’s degree during the summer should call by the office immediately and file formal application for the de-, gree, Heaton said.
