Marines ’ Splendor To Be Shown Senator Says Maritime Commission
xt.j x-i.f — r- m i Has Robbed Americans of Millions
In Library rum 7:15 luesday
On November 10 the marines
will have completed a glorious 167
year history “from the halls of
Montezuma to the shores of Trip
oli,” and we might well add Wake,
Midway, Guam, and the Solomon
Islands. Visitors to the Library
this week have seen Arthur Beau
mont’s stirring scenes from Wake
Island which are on exhibit in the
lobby of the first floor.
Further evidence of the unique
quality of the fighting marines
will be noted in two films present
ed tonight in the Asbury Browsing
Room of the Library as part of the
movie program of the War Infor
mation Center. There will be two
shows ,one at 7:15 and one at 8:45.
“From Ships of the Air” was
made at Lakehurst, New Jersey,
where Private, First Class, Smith
goes up in a plane and after five
minutes throws his body from a
1000-foot altitude, lets go of the
static line of his ’chute and falls
through space to a perfect land
ing. All of this comes after the
careful selective training of many
weeks, after he has learned to
shoot, to use a bayonet, and to obey
orders without resentment. “Para-
marines” are handpicked speci
mens, a specialized part of that
organization of leathernecks whose
training we learn of at length in
a longer film, “Marine Corps
News.”
The first part of “Marine Corps
News” consists of varied marine
corps activities: crash landing,
thermite bomb demonstration, lib
erty in Miami, prize winner, and
Secretarty of Navy Knox on ma
rine corps maneuvers. The second
part of the film is devoted to de
fense, battalion attacks barbecue,
marine corps museum, marine corps
birthday ceremonies, and finals of
marine corps polo league.
.These films will be revelations
to the laymen who have marveled
at the stamina of the marine corps.

end of Texas last night by Ag
gies, their dates, and Aggie fans
from far and wide.
With kick-off time at 2:30, even
the streets of Dalla's will, be free
from the boys who are learning
the art of making war in the
world’s largest military school, A.
& M. Flocking into the steel and
concrete arena, they will sing and
yell for the glory of Aggieland as
the two teams bang brains on the
green turf that is Ownby Stadium.
This game will not decide the
Southwest Conference winner, but
is the most important game of the
year for the Cadets with the ex
ception of the Turkey Day classic
with the Longhorns. As the score
stands now, the Aggies have walked
off with the honors to the tune of
11-10, with three ties spotting the
record.
Aggies and Dates Sit on East Side
Aggies and their dates will sit
on the east side of the stadium,
and the senior section has been set
as those seats between the fifty
and thirty yard lines from row
twelve up. This is just behind the
Aggie band, which broke all prece
dents by hitch-hiking lock, stock
and barrel to Dallas so that they
might perform between the halves.
Band members have been slop
ping through mud and slush, prac
ticing and re-practicing for to
day’s ^xhibition, and promise to
put on ■& show worth seeing, even
though the entire band of 250
pieces will not be on hand.

One day the Pan-American high

from -Alaska to the Strait of Ma

drive over the 13,000 miles of it
which stretch from Caracas', that
town where locations are designat

each corner has its name) to the

Tonight we may see the result
of his often hazardous, always
thrilling trip in a 43 minute film
entitled “Oui 1 Neighbors Down the

that zigzagged up the mountains to
Caracas, about 3,000 feet high in
the first foothills of the Andes.
Soon, however, the adventurer
found himself seldom below 8,000
feet.

being the first orchestra to play
in spacious floors of Duncan hall.
Heretofore, the only place where
dances have been held were either
in Sbisa hall or in The Grove.
However, with the overcrowded
campus with the dates of both the

the floors in both mess halls in
order to facilitate dancing room

Now included in the Composite

new regiments just lately formed

Ags Hold One
Game Lead Over
Ponies in Series
No two Southwest Conference
football teams can boast the record
of grid championships as can Tex
as A&M and Southern Methodist,
the two teams which come together
at Ownby Stadium in Dallas on
Saturday afternoon, Nov. 7.
The Aggies were one of the char
ter members of the conference
when it was formed in 1914 but
the Mustangs gained admission two
years later and, after a disasterous
first year, have gone on to win
four and a tie for one title while
the Aggies hold the record with
seven titles and one tie—that tie
with S.M.U. in 1940. S.M.U. has
played in the Rose Bowl (1936)
while A&M appeared in the Sugar
Bowl in 1940 and the Cotton Bowl
in 1941 and 1942. The Ponies lost
in their one appearance while the
Cadets took two and lost one of
their modern Classic games. A&M
played Centre in what is now the
Cotton Bowl in 1922 and also took
that one to make it three of four
post-season wins. To date A&M
has won 11, lost 10 and tied 3 in
the 24 games played with the Mus
tangs.
The A&M game will be the sec
ond conference game of the year
for S.M.U. while it will mark the
fourth loop start for the Aggies.
Anyonq can and does win the Ag-
gies-S.M.U. game and this year
promises to be no different than
those in the past, so for those who
like comparative scores of the past,
here they are:

Lt. William A Schmidt and Lt.

received yesterday.
Lt. Parris was formerly an ac

in Dallas. Lt. Schmidt is from
Taft, and both are graduates of
the class of 1940.

(An INS Summary from the Daily Texan)
Senator George D. Aiken (R-
Vt.) Thursday charged that “Amer
ican taxpayers have been virtually
robbed of untold millions” by “rank
incompetence” of the Maritime
Commission, of which Rear Ad
miral Emory S. Land is chairman.
In a letter to Senator David I.
Walsh (D-Mass.), chairman of the
Senate Naval Affirs Committee,
Aiken, who is a member of the
Senate Committee on Expenditures
in Executive Departments, urged
that promotion of Land to the
rank of ,yice-admiral be postponed,
pending an investigation of his
record.
Walsh has pending in the Sen
ate a bill to promote Land. Aiken
said he was not acquainted with
Land, only that he knows Land
is chairman of the Maritime Com
mission" and as such should be
held fully responsible for the acts
of the commission.”
By consent of the Senate, Aiken
inserted into the Congressional
Record a copy of his letter to
Walsh. The letter called Walsh’s
attention to a report on the Tampa
Shipbuilding and Engineering Co.,
by Comptroller George Lindsay
Warren.
This report, Aiken said, showed
that a reappraisal of the company’s
property was made fixing value of
the land at $1,253,242, and plant
and equipment at $1,838,848.67,
making a total reappraisal valua
tion of $3,092090.67, although prior
to the reappraisal the land had
been carried on the books of the
company at a value of $195'218,
and the plant and equipment at

Air Corps Primary
Training at Dallas
Aviation Cadet Thomas Junior
Burnem, 2114 Ravnor St., El Paso,
has just finished his primary in
struction at the Naval Reserve Avi
ation Base, near Dallas. He and
other members of the class have
been ordered to the Naval Air Sta
tion at Corpus Christi.

High School athlete in El Paso, at
tended Texas A. & M. three years
before his enlistment as a V-5
cadet in Naval aviation.
$1,066,311.47.
“It is also to be noted,” Aiken
wrote, “that George B. Howell,,
the trust officer of the Exchange
National Bank of Tampa, Fla., one
of the creditor banks, and who
later became sole stockholder, and
president of the new company, had
previously stated in a letter to the
Secretary of State at Tallahassee,
Fla., that the land was not worth
the back taxes of $57,000.
“Thus, the Maritime Commis
sion, which, according to its chair
man, was wholly familiar with the
property, permitted a reappraisal
to be made boosting the value of
the land, plant and equipment
from $1,261,528.47 to $3,092,090.67,
or an increase of $1,830,561.20.
“This very questionable revalua
tion was apparently indulged in
to justify further financial assist
ance to a practically insolvent com
pany.
“The two reports (on the Tampa
Shipbuilding and Engineering Co.
and the Wotecman Steamship Cor
poration) describe transactions
wherein approximately $4,000,000
of the taxpayers’ money has been
dissipated.
“In fact, these transactions ap
pear to go beyond the realm of
dissipation. They smell to high
heaven of rank incompetence and
collusion with private interests, for
which the Maritime Commission
and its chairman should be held
accountable.”
President Roosevelt has shelved
indefinitely proposals for compul
sory regimentation of the nation’s
