BETTER HOMES APPLIANCE CO. North Main Bryan ^ GENERAL ELECTRIC TAX AUTHORITY rpHE average man who stews over the JL filing of his annual tax return is apt to shake his head quizzically over Donald L. Millham. While he was in charge of General Electric tax accounting, Don used to file more than 500 returns a year—and like it. Although he has a new job today—the difficult and important one of Comptroller —Don maintains an active interest in cor porate taxation and is still considered the company’s tax authority. A career in corporate taxation problems is, Don admits, short on glamour, long on hard and diligent work. A dozen years ago he had about as much trouble as anyone in under standing the technical language of tax state ments. But when an opportunity opened in tax accounting, he took the offer and learned the complexities of his job as he worked at it. By meeting the challenges of an exacting and constantly expanding field of endeavor, Donald Millham had made for himself a use ful and important career that has held his interest. Next to schools and the U.S. Government, General Elec tric employs more college engineering graduates than any other organization. To help pay his way through Union College, Don worked for General Electric during summer vacations, operating a drill press. Today, the General Electric Comptroller, he maintains his interest in corporate taxation, in which he became the company’s expert.

Offers Guatemala, Mexico Summer Center College students throughout America have been invited to attend the two summer centers of Mexico and Guatemala, sponsored by the University of Houston, President E. E. Oberholtzer of the University of Houston has announced. 4 The Mexico Center is now in its fourth year, while the Guatemala Center is in its second year. The latter was the first such center ever opened in Guatemala by an American college. The Mexico group leaves Houston June 3 and returns August 20. “Both centers feature courses in English of social, economic, and cultural conditions of the respec tive countries, integrated with New Naval Plans Reveal Shift To Underwater Craft A shift in the pattern of future warefare at sea is coming to light in new plans of the Navy. If war comes again, as the Navy sees it, its sea phase will be fought largely beneath the surface by fleets of supersubmarines. This picture is emerging from new requests put to Congress by the Navy as a result of recently studied Bikini bomb tests. The Navy has asked Congress for per mission to build 4,000 tons of ex perimental submarines, based on “radical” new ideas for underwat er vessels. New emphasis on undersea war fare, in brief is based on this out look for the future. The enemy in any future war is not expected to have a large surface fleet—only Great Britain and the United States have now— and will therefore strike at Ameri can supply line and coastal cities with highly developed submarines. The United States, as a result, is faced with wholesale under water atteks if the world gets into trouble again, and must develop new antisubmarine measures to meet such attacks. Too, subma rines proved least vulnerable of all naval vessels to atomic explosions at Bikini, pointing toward broader use of underwater craft in the future U. S. Navy. Make Arrangements Before March 20 Clubs and organizations are reminded that pictures for the 1947 LONGHORN must be made before March 20. Arrangements should be made with A. & M. Photo Shop so that pictures can be taken before this deadline.

SMITH’S North Gate Phone 4-4444 field trips to numerous places and institutions of cultural and his torical significance within and out side of the capital cities”, Dr. Joseph S. Werlin, Director, ex plained. Students will leave Houston by train and bus for Mexico City. The Guatemala group flies from Mexico City to Guatemala City. The courses offer standard col lege credit in sociology, history, or Spanish, to students of all depart ments and divisions, on both un dergraduate and graduate levels. Students may also attend on a non credit basis, and the courses are open to non-students as well. “Both centers offer students an excellent opportunity to obtain first-hand information about our neighbors south of the border, plus an opportunity to enjoy a vacation like trip,” Dr. Werlin said. Approximate cost for the Mexico Center is $175, which includes all expenses from Houston and return, save tuition and meals in Mexico City. The Guatemala Center costs $300,' for all expenses except tui tion. These centers are recognized by the Veteran’s Administration, and veterans are exempt from tuition and receive their usual subsistence allowance. Enrollment is arranged through a letter of eligibility from the local Veteran’s Administration of the student. International study centers throughout the world are being planned by the University, with, prospects for a summer center in Paris in 1949 and. later sessions in South Europe, North Africa,, the U. S. S. R., and the Far East, with terms in the east and west alternating annually. Further information may be ob tained from Doctor Joseph S. Wer lin at the University of Houston.
