Engineerinff Experiment' vestigation has been undertaken
Station, Texas A&M College, con
slats in some cases of entire lab

engineerinff pointed out io a re
port to the board of directors.
Key man in this vast research
system Is Dr. A. W. Melloh, who
:ame to A&M In 1947. He ‘ Is
vicc-director and chief administra
tive officer of the station.
The alms of tho station arc four
fold, Barlow’s report revealed, to
stimulate engineering education, to
investigate engineering and indus
trial problems of importance to the
state, to disseminate information
In regard to such problems and to
assist generally in the industrial
development of TCxa-.

Laboratories operated by tho
station exclusive of the undergrad

“We are now ready to extend
wr work in the solvent extraction
of the oil from the seed,” Barlow
.•eported in connection with the
cottonseed products laboratory. It
is a chemical method.
In the aeronautical field, “we
are engaged in research on the de
velopment of the personal type
airplane in an attempt to make it
an agricultural tool and a really
useful means of personal trans
portation,” Barlow reported.”
- Fanners
Texa? farmers and ranchers are
using private airplanes in their
Work. The development of such a
craft is progressing. Their uses
are multiplying daily, the report
revealed.
The Texas Engineering Experi
ment Station has begun a research
program on the many problems
confronting their usage. Barlow
pointed out that “there is a great

KURD HAMPRON
SHANGHAI, May 23 -JAb-Ono
of Shanghat'a biggest arsenals,
only three miles from the down
town district, blew up with a
roar yesterday and burned fiercely
ns other fires sprang up In and
around the besieged metropolis.
The explosion was at the huge
Kiangnan Arsenal and dockyard
on the, Whangpoo River about 3
miles from Shanghai's center.
The. blast shook the heart of
Shanghai and echoed across the
countrywide.
(The cause of the explosion was
not explained. However, fighting
has been reported in the vicinity
of the arsenal)
The situation was extremely jeon-
fused. Authorities offered Only
vague' answers to tho causes of at
least 20 fires that raged in and
around Shanghai.
Every type of gunfire boomed
and chattered throughout the night.
Fires leaped and globed in many
directions. Some were oil tanka.
Some were warehouses. Some were
dockyards in the Pqotung district,
across the Whangpoo, East of
Shanghai.
The more distant glows appeared
to he surburban villages.
Tho Reds seemed to be pressing,
their attack at many points on
Shanghai’s defense perimeter.

Call Someone On Carpet
Police were literally trying to
night to call someone on the carpet.
It started about 10 a. m. when
the Paramount Rug & Carpet
Cleaning Co. got about $50,000
worth of fine carpets and rugs
from a Fort Worth firm hit by
the flood.
The rugs were watersoaked. They
were spread out on a vacant lot to
dry for cleaning.
The cleaners left for a few
minutes,
No one knows how it got started,
but a run started on the rugs.
Within minutes, the lot was a
hive of rug collectors.
Police said a black truck drove
up and loaded on three rollsj of
carpeting. A red truck came and
got five rolls. A green pick-up
truck tried to load up but could
only handle one load. A Ford car-

The National Cottonseed Pro

station with $1500 as a grant-in-
aid for studies to b« conducted on
tht development of control mea

^’During tho past few months,”
R. D. Lewis, director of the station
said, “representatives of the Texas
Agricultural Experiment Station
have had several conferences with
representatives of the National
Cottonseed Products Association
to further i
investigations
of oil-seed crops. One of the more
promising oil-seed crops not now
commonly grown In Texas Is sun
flowers.” Lewis pointed out.
The callers soooi began to get
more selective. Witnesses said
about a dozen persons drove up,
measured off the carpet and began
to cut it up to fit rooms
Jerry Collander and John Caw-
thon were watching. They told
police one man was carefully com-
putine the size of his living room.
“But I’ll t^low myself an extra

cheerfully, chopping into a roll
of $16-a-si
