PRESIDENT’S PAY
BILL IS CLEARED
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 —<#)—
Senate Republican leaders Thurs
day agreed to allow speedy pass
age of a bill raising the pay of
the President, vice president and
speaker of the House.
Chairman Taft (R-Ohio) said
this was decided at a closed-door
strategy meeting of the GOP pol
icy committee shortly before the
legislation was due to reach the
Senate floor.
The bill also calls for salary
boosts for cabinet and other high
federal officials but even Demo
crats have given up hope of get
ting immediate approval for those
despite President Truman’s plea
for prompt action.
The bill, as approved by the
Senate Civil Service Committee,
would increase the president’s pay
by $25,000 and give him a new
$50,000 expense allowance. It car
ries smaller raises for the vice-
pi’esident, speaker and other top
executives.
PEACE TALKS BEGIN
IN PALESTINE WAR
RHODES, Jan. 14 Israelis
and Egyptians sat down at a con
ference table yesterday for the
first time since the start of the
Palestine War and began face to
face talks on an armistice.
The meeting lasted 30 minutes.
A member of the Israeli delegation
told reporters “The first meeting
was intended to be short.”
Dr. Ralph J. Bunche, the United
Nations mediator, urged speedy
negotiations for an armistice in
Southern Palestine as a first and
indispensable step toward full
peace in the Holy Land.
Bunche also appealed to all gov
ernments, including those not di
rectly involved in the Palestine
conflict, not to take any action
which might jeopardize the talks.
No name was mentioned, but it ap
peared likely he meant Britain in
particular.
LONGORIA FAMILY WILL
ATTEND SON’S FUNERAL
THREE RIVERS, Tex., Jan. 14
•—(A 5 )—Several Latin-American or
ganizations plan to raise money to
send the mother of Felix Longoria,
Latin-American veteran killed in
World War II, to his reburial ser
vices in Arlington National Ceme
tery.
Plans for reburial in Arlington
were made after reports that a
South Texas funeral home had re
fused its services for reinterment.
The manager of the establish
ment denied, however, that he had
refused to handle the services. He
said h<i had “discouraged” use of
the chapel because of reported
friction among members of the
family and that there was “no
question whatever of discrimina
tion.”
Dr. Hector Garcia, president of
the American GI forum in Corpus
Christi, said today the forum and
lulac groups in Corpus Christi,
Robstown, Beeville, Kingsville and
Alice would raise the money. The
support of Raul Cortez, president
of General Lulac, San Antonio,
has been requested, he said.
TWO KIDNAPPERS STILL
AT LARGE IN STATE
HOUSTON, Tex., Jan. 14 —MP)
Two men, one believed to be an
escaped convict from Darrington
State Prison Farm, kidnapped and
robbed William Francis Winsett,
Jr., 31, of Houston, at 1 a. m. yes
terday, tied him to a tree with
strips torn from the convict’s
clothes, and fled in Winsett’s car.
They obtained about $16.
An intensive hunt to the north
of Houston is under way by Deputy
Sheriffs and State Highway Pa
trolmen for the convict and his
companion.
The fleeing kidnappers are rid

SERPENTINE SPLIT
PERSONALITY
STOCKHOLM —(A>)_ An adder
with one wicked and one gentle
head is living on the dole in the
Stockholm Forestry Institute.
Without human, assistance the
monster could not exist as the two
heads are unable to cooperate. The
jight head always strives to the
right and the left head to the right.
Meeting an obstacle on their path
the right head would go around it
to the right and the left to the left
with the result that the rest of
he adder is hopelessly caught.
The snake was just a babe when
it was found in September and its
protector Dr. Goesta Notini fears
that it will die in spite of careful
nursing. If it survives it will be
an interesting object of study for
animal psychologists.
The two heads react very dif
ferently. The right head attacks
quickly and fiei’cely when teased,
but the left one tries to escape.
Both heads have fully developed
poison fangs.

Crystal Ball Foresees A&M
As Bluejacket Boys A rrive
By DAVE COSLETT
“Avast there matey! Stow those
khakis and ship with me in the
bloomin’ naivy.”
Monday’s announcement that the
Board of Directors had given the
go-ahead sign to the establishment
of a Naval ROTC unit at A&M has
quite naturally led to a bit of
speculation around these parts. To
a school bearing the nickname “The
West Point on the Lower Brazos,”
such an idea could not possibly be
received calmly.
Just picture the change that
the establishment of this third
branch of the service will entail.
In fact, let’s steal Art Howard’s
battered crystal ball and see if
we can’t actually peer at the
campus as it may look in future
years.
★
The year is 1955 and Naval RO
TC has become pretty firmly en
trenched around these parts. In
many ways it’s still the same old
campus, but a closer look reveals
that there is something different,
vastly different. To prove my
point, come on over here to Dorm
5—to the USS Gainer I mean.
Those flags up there on the top
are signal flags spelling out “Scut
tle TU.” No, that woe-begone ca
det with the boots is not a senior,
he’s a “boot,” the navy equivalent
of a fish. He’s mad because he has
to stand a four hour watch Satur-,
day afternoon. He got caught by
his chief while he was bangin’ ears
with some “boys on the bridge.”
Those boots on that scaffolding
there are chipping mud off the
dorm. They’ll have to give it a
coat or two of red lead when they
finish that .The USS Schumacher
has contracted mice and is going
to have to be put in dry-dock next
week, or at least that’s the scuttle
butt that’s goin’ around.
But come on inside. Be careful
of the hatch there. One of its
hinges is loose. The passageway
hasn’t changed much except for
those davy lights in the ceiling.
The “holes” are hardly recogniz
able though. They call them com
partments now.
This, one is occupied by boots.

Goodwyn Will Edit
1949 Commentator
Larry Goodwyn, associate editor of The Commentator,
was elected Editor-in-Chief of the magazine by the Arts
and Sciences Council last night. He replaces J. T. Miller,
present editor, who graduates at the end of this semester.
The council recommended to the Central Committee of
the three student councils that+
$5,000 of the present $6,000 Coke
Fund from the school buildings be
put into use.
The council decided that a com
mittee, called the Permanent Com
mittee, composed of one member
from the Arts and Sciences Coun
cil, one from the Engineering Coun
cil, one from the Agriculture Coun
cil, one from the Student Life
Committee, and a member from
the Student Activities Office, be
set up as a permanent committee
to administer the Coke Fund.
In a break-down, the council
asked the Central Committee to
vote $2,000 for use of the A&M
Band, $2,000 for the Club Aid
Fund, $1,000 for a travel fund
for the various clubs, and $1,000,
the remainder, be left in the fund
in the President’s office.
The Central Committee from the
three councils will meet next week
and consider these recommenda
tions along with similar recom
mendations from the other two
councils. They will prepare a joint
recommendation to President F. C.
Bolton. President Bolton, at pres
ent, is holding these funds in his
office. He will be asked to consider
the recommendations with a view
toward putting the fund into use.
Prior to the election of Good
wyn, Miller briefly discussed the
action of the Commentator and
its work during the past semes
ter.

mocks. Bunks, you know, are an
upper classman’s privilege. I par
ticularly want you to notice how
clean this place is. They make
those boots swab the deck, over
head, and bulkheads every day. The
place is deserted now because the
boys are all down at Prexy’s tri
angle on fleet manuevers.
Pull up that sea-bag and I’ll
tell you about a few of the other
modifications. Yell practice has
changed a little. You remember
how they used to say “Well-1-1
o-o-ld army?” Now they say
“avast you swabbies and dog
gies.”
These bell bottom boys have
really whipped the corps trip sit
uation. They don’t do much hitch
hiking now since the college has
supplied those new liberty launch
es down in the Brazos. They can
get half way to Ft. Worth and
Dallas on the Brazos.
And they don’t have to worry
about hotel rooms. They can pitch
those hammocks anywhere. You
should have seen that guy stretch
ed out between the chandelier and
the railing of the mezzanine in the
Texas Hotel.
Living conditions around here
are the same for the army and air
force cadets but the navy men have
added a few things. Now, the
swabbies ignore all bugles and
won’t even fall out unless the
bosun pipes ’em out.
As with the khaki-clad troops,
you can tell a cadets class by his
uniform. Those boots caused a
little trouble at first but so did
the stripes around the sleeves of
the uniforms. It was hard to
convince some fellows that they
weren’t fish stripes.
Boots and seamen can wear only
bell-bottom type uniform. Sopho
mores reserve the right to cock
their hats at any desired precarious
angle and to have a few hidden
pockets in their gear. Juniors rate
a chief’s rig and all the trimmings
with the exception of a white offi
cer’s cap, a senior privilege. Sen
iors, of course, wear officers
clothes.
Well, there’s the noon fog-horn,
so I’ll have to be shippin’ out.
What? You want to know what
that object over there with the
sign is? Why that’s Spot. He’s
still campaigning for K-9 training
at A&M.

Screwy Architects
Plan ASABAB Ball
By SAM LANFORD
Once again the mysterious and exciting word ‘ASABAB’
appears 1 on the campus and as the architects begin prepara
tions for the biggest, most fabulous costume ball yet the rest
of the campus awaits in hushed expectancy-
A building project second only to the Thanksgiving
Bonfire, the decorating of Sbisa-f
Hall for the Architectural Societys
Annual Beaux Arts Ball is now
generating multivolts in the fiend
ish minds of the fourth floor night
owls.
As whole forests of trees, junk
yards, and tons of Aggie confetti
appear on the lawn of Sbisa, pop-
eyed spectators once again confirm
their thoughts that all architects
definitely have bats in their upper
stories. Even more midnight oil (if
possible) is burning as final blue
prints for the hilarious event are
being drawn.
The theme of this fun-festival
is dedicated to Terpsichore, god
dess of song and dance. The cos
tumes, under the heading of song
titles will range all the way from
“I’m a Little Teapot” to “I’d
Rather Be A Texas Aggie.”
Frantic negotiations are being
carried on with the Prairie View
Ramblers, the hot swing band of
our southern neighbors, to hold
down the bucking bandstand.
Local residents will be requested
to bar their doors for the night
and reports are that Security Chief
Fred Hickman has been enlisting
the aid of Bryan officers to act as
extra guards for the night just in
case Terpsichore allows or helps
activities to get out of hand.
Anything, that is anything son,
can and may happen when the
realm of the unlikely and impos
sible is invaded. Don’t scoff—just
remember what happened to Robert
Walker. He got Venus, didn’t he?

Truth Is Mangled and Imagination Overtaxed As
‘Tales Contest 9 Brings Gifted Gabbers Forward
By FRANK CUSHING
More and more tall tales are be
ing shoveled into The Battalion of
fice as the contest continues. The
competition has stepped up to a
brisk pace at last. However more
Contestants are always welcome.
Don’t delay entering your story.
To be eligible the tales must be in
no later than Wednesday, January
19. Take this advantage to be
crowned “Champion liar of A&M.”
James S. Sibley, A Engineers,
entered four stories for competi
tion. Due to limited space the
judges have selected one for re
printing. Sibley says, “Despite the
many stories you must have? heard
about large mosquitoes, I still in
sist the most mammoth ones exist
in the South Pacific.
Once while I was in the navy
there a battle was raging not
far away. I was on an aircraft
carrier where planes were being
refueled as quickly as they could
land. The mosquitos were so big
that one swabby put 120 gallons
of high octane gasoline in an
anopheles mosquito before he
realized that it was not an F-
4U.”
L. W. Donnelly Jr. wrote in
about his Father’s bird dogs. (He
and Sibley had dogs with very
similar characteristics.) “My Fath
er,” claims Donnelly, “once had
two of the best trained bird dogs
in all of Tennessee. When they
found a covey of quail one dog
would quickly dig a hole in the
ground while the other dog ran
the birds into the hole.
“The first dog would then put
her foot over the hole and let
the birds out one at a time. Af
ter my Father had fired, the oth
er dog would retrieve the birds
as they fell.”
Floyd Blount Jr. maintains that
this occurrence happened right
on our campus. His twisting of the
truth goes this way, “I was just
getting ready to go home for
Christmas when I suddenly re
member I had a floriculture quiz
to take.
“Since I had to be at the Aca
demic Building in five minutes,
I rushed out jumped into my 1949
Cadillac (standard, not deluxe)
and started off. I jammed it into
second and roared up Military
Walk the wrong way, jumped the
curb by the flag pole, drove up
the sidewalk, barely missing
Sully, and parked in a flower
bed.
“After the quiz I stayed around
talking to Dr. Stadelmann—^work
ing on an exemption—for some
time. As I started back to my car,
nearly three hours after I had
parked it, I suddenly thought, I
might get a ticket on my car!
“I rushed out and there was a
K. K. leaning on my fender, whist
ling ‘Dixie’ and reading a big little
book. I began, “Sir, I know I was
in the wrong but ... He interjec
ted, ‘Son, that’s all right. We al
ways like to give you Aggies a
break. However, I must warn you
that if I catch you going up mili
tary walk the wrong way again,
I might give you a ticket.’ ”
Bill Bollinger had a tale on the
much mangled subject of fishing.
Quote Bollinger, “While fishing in
the Gulf last winter a cold wave
hit. In my haste to reach shore I
lost both oars in the huge waves.
I nearly gave up hope of ever sur
viving the elements. However I
put my mind to work.
“I started fishing until I had
caught a boatful of dogfish. I then
cut up enough of the barks to start
a large fire in the bottom of the
boat. The cold weather kept the
boat from burning. Rather than
just sit, I started yelling for help
even though I knew I was too far
from shore to be heard.
“As I called for help I Noticed
my words were freezing in the
air. Taking advantage of this
good luck, I kept yelling until I
had enough strips of ice be
tween me and shore to get out of
the boat and walk home to a
warm fire and bed, none the
worse from my near-death ex
perience.”
Kerry Savage had a startling ex
perience to relate. “While hunting
in Alaska two years ago, I used up
all my ammunition killing bears.
As I started towards camp a large
razor-back hog rushed me. To save
myself I ran to an empty barrel
standing nearby and dove in.
“The hog came sniffing around
in search for me. I saw an oppor
tunity to even the score so I reach
ed out, grabbed his tail and pulled
it through a knot hole in the bar
rel. I tied his tail into a knot. Then
I easily made my escape since the
hog couldn’t run with the obstacle
attached to her.
“This year I went back up to
my hunting grounds in Alaska
again. Believe it or not, I saw
the same old sow with the wood
en barrel still on her tail. Right
behind her were five little pigs
with nail kegs attached to their
tails.”
The following tale was submit
ted with two different pen names
on it. We can’t give just credit but
the story warrants repeating. The
anonymous one tells, “Many have
heard of the Texas ‘Blue Northers’
that we have in the Panhandle.
Most people know that they have
a reputation for striking suddenly.
As an example, I would like to re
late this true story.
“One day I was looking over my
fruit farm and decided to walk
down by the lake which was sur
rounded by palm trees. It was very
hot and all the bull frogs were
sitting on the bank with their
tongues hanging out.
“My sensitive ears picked up
the sound of a Norther approach
ing from the south. It was then
that my brilliant mind struck up
this idea. At the exact time the
weather changed I yelled which
scared all ten billion bullfrogs and
caused them to jump into the lake.
“Just as they hit the water
head-first the ‘Norther’ struck
and froze so fast that it left
9,999,999'/z pairs of legs stick
ing out of the ice. (One had a
peg-leg.) I rushed up to the
house and got all the mowers I
could find. I took them back to
the frozen lake and started mow
ing the legs which protruded
from the ice.
“With such a large amount of
stock I was able to control the
frog-leg market for the next few
years. I cleared several million
dollars out of the transaction. That
is how I am able to day to finance
a college career and write good
stories like I’ve just written.” He
signed this tale appropriately
enough “Frog Bull.”
Kern Tips, sports announcer,
will deliver the principal address
of the evening. Members of the
1948 varsity and frosh football
teams and the cross-country team
will be awarded “T” medals and
letters for sports.
