Howard Duff, radio’s famous
Sam Spade makes his second screen
appearance in the movie Red Can
yon, based upon Zkne Gray’s novel.
Duff is cast as a long suffering
cowboy who is constantly hounded
by society because of his outlaw
family. In an effort to escape the
unwanted attention, he changes his;
name and leaves j his outlaw rela
tions. i I
Duff becomes determined to cap
ture and break ‘’Black Velvet,” a
black stallion who is roaming the
hills. In the process, he (Duff, not
; the horse) encounters Ann Blyth
; which is rather pice encountering
to say the least, Since they fan
madly in love from their first look,
I they show a hfearty dislike for
each other.
Complications arise through the
distrust of Ann’s father, played by . dividual. Incidentally he should set

ture, break, and run the blhck
stallion in the big event.
A further mix-up is provided by
Ann’s father’s oath to wipe out
all the kin of : the not too re
spectable clan of Duff’s. His fami
ly helps Duff not at all by ap
pearing periodically Pnd reminding
him that the homestead just ain’t
the same without him and that he
ought to come back into the ille
gal fold. Duff permanently and
neatly solves that problem by wip
ing out his father’s entire gang in
one fast-moving battle.
Red Canyon has many good
points. The beautiful scenery film-
ed, in vivid technicolor offers a
treat to the audience’s eyes. Ann
Blyth is an additional optical treat.

By MARTHA COLE j
AUSTIN, April 6 —<A»>—Those
bitter football foes, Texas and
Texas A&M, gbt together on the
floor of the House yesterday while
Communism lay groaning on the
bench.
Kep'yPcppy Blount of Big Spring
who pwyetl ifootball for Texas last
year, ’lowed he didn’t like being
called a “subsidized football play
er.” Those, he said, were* the words
in an editorial: in the Battalion,
loxus A&M College newspaper.
Uep. C. P. McKnight Jr. of Quit*
man, who was graduated from A
&M last year,; interruptod Peppy
to say: “I think you’ve been done
an injustice, atid as a former Ag
gie, I’d like toT apologize for it.’’
Blount, a six4foot, four-inch pas*
snatching end on said the editorial
was headed: “Better Than Giving
Them Convertibles.”
It goes on, he said, with “why
hasn’t A&M a subsidy program like
TIT? W’hat other school subsidizes
its players with seats in the legis
lature ? ”
“And this is about someone very
Jeep Donated To
Forest Service ;
A 1948 Willys jeep, complete
with power winch and $500 in cash
to properly equip the jeep with
necessary top, hydraulic lift, plow,
grille and other equipment neces
sary to fighting fires in the woods
has been received by the Texas
Forest Service.
‘|The jeep is being donated with
the understanding,”; A. D. Folwctl-
er, director of the Forest Service,
said, “that after the jeep is prop
erly equipped for fire fighting it
will be assigned to the Kildare,
Cass County, area for use in for
est fire control activities.”
The donors are George L. Gro-
dear to me," he declared, “—Me.”
The editorial talked about his
outburst against Communism on
the floor of the House last week
he said.
“They have ways of taking care
of Communists in A&M,? Blount
said. “They can beat it out of
them."
“But we haven’t got that lati
tude out at the Univeraity of Tex-
al. We’ve got this Communist out
there and it’s going to be embar
rassing if we don’t do something
about it."
But getting buck to the subsi
dized football players business,
Peppy said—“They’re just a little
bit hasty."
Rep. Doyle Willis of Ft. Worth
suggested—“Let’s give, ’em a cou
ple of members of the legislature
for their football team on the con
dition that tney’H use ’em—say
Hanna and Spacek.”
Rep. Sam Hanna of Dallas,
white-haired, and Rep. R. B. Spa
cek of Fayetteville, grey-haired,
laughed.
So did Blount and the rest of
the House in good-natured humor,
and they went on to the next busi
ness. I ' ,
