When a cloudburst sti’uck the courts late yesterday, the girl from Harlem was leading 7-6 in the final set and appeared to be on her way to an upset victory over her veteran opponent from Beverly Hills, Calif. Miss Brough, the present Wim bledon champion must have pinch ed herself when Althea began hit ting soft stuff back at her. It was over quickly, and the crowd of 1,500 which packed the grandstand •shortly after noon to witness the climax suffered a letdown. Althea was full of errdrs, com mitting seven outs, four nets and a brace of double faults as she lost her service in a long deuced 15th game and twice reached only thirty against Miss Brough’s service. She wildly overhit on three of the last four points of the one-sided play off. She scored only three winners to Louise’s seven. Aggieland Studio A ‘Busy Business’ By FRANK DAVIS “Now let’s have a smile, that’s it,” says A. M. Martin, manager of Joe Sosolik’s Aggieland Studio at North Gate in College Station, to a patron. At his place before the studio camera, which is claimed to be the finest available, the subject hears a click, there is a flash of light, and the picture is taken. From the time the patron entered the studio until he leaves, every thing has been arranged for his comfort, says the 'owner. Modern Equipment In the studio room, the latest Strobe lighting equipment spares the patron the discomfort of sit ting before a bright light. This type of lighting is especially good for children’s photographs, Martin says. Aggieland Studio on College Main is unique in that since 1919 only twice have they failed to land the yearbook contract. This past year the studio took 4,000 student pictures for the Aggieland ’50. Sosolik, owner of the studio, is a native Czechoslovakian who came to the United States in 1911. He came to Bryan following service in World War I from which he was discharged with medical dis ability. In 1921, Sosolik bought half in terest in a studio that was lo cated on the present site of Ag gieland Pharmacy. He became sole owner in March of 1922. Former Locations One year later, fire destroyed the entire studio and Sosolik was given a location in the Mechanical Engineering Building. When the Exchange Store was completed in 1925, he was given a location on the second floor where he remain ed until moving into his pi’esent location in 1932. Sosolik’s staff at Aggieland Studio consists of Martin, who was graduated from A&M in 1941 with a degree in architectural engin eering and who has been with the studio since the Fall of 1949; George Lanicek, who has been with Sosolik for 17 years; and Jack Green, also a veteran employee. Besides these, Mrs. A. M. Mar tin does part time work. About three additional staff members are expected to be added in October. Busy Establishment With the annual pictures, in dividual and group photographs, in addition to snapshot developing, commercial and architectural pho tography, copying and restoring old photographs, and even making picture frames listed, Aggieland Studio is a pretty busy place. When a person walks in, he is apt to find Mrs. Martin in the front office filling orders, her hus band at the studio camera, Lanicek retouching some negatives with a special electronics machine, and Green printing negatives either in contact prints or enlareements. This all makes for efficient op eration which can be fully realized when the time required for various services is considered, Sosolik said. 48-Hour Completion Assuming that the customer se lected proofs on the first showing, it is possible to have a finished photograph in 48 hours. Then if snapshots are brought in by 4 p. m., they can be ready by 3 p. m. the following day. The Aggieland Studio also has contacts necessary to fulfill ama teur orders for equipment. A. M.

HELP WANTED WANTED MISCELLANEOUS Senate Group Shelves UMT For This Year Washington, Aug. 31 — Senate committee action yes terday shelved a bill for uni versal military training until next January, as requested by President Truman. Chairman Tydings (D-Md) of the Senate Armed Services Com mittee told newsmen that even if the measure is enacted in January, the program would not go into active operation “for a year or two.” The committee voted 8 to 3 to sidetrack the legislation within 24 hours after Mr. 1’ruman wrote con gressional leaders that it would be impossible to put the program into effect now. Mr. Truman explained that officers needed to train hun dreds of thousands of youths under UMT could not be spared from the Korean war effort. The program would provide mil itary training for youths 18 through 20 years old for six months on an intensive basis and another six months in reserve status. The committee authorized chair man Tydings to name a subcom mittee to draw up a comprehensive UMT measure for the new congress and to demand immediate consid eration when the lawmakers re turn in January. Tydings said the committee agreed with some reluctance to spike the legislation, but realized it would be a long and difficult process to get a permanent bill at this time. Tydings named Senator Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Tex) as chairman of a subcommittee to prepare a de tailed UMT bill for next session. He also named Senators Chapman ''D-Ky), Kefauver (D-Tenn), Hunt (D-Wyo), Bridges (R-NH), Sal- tonstall (R-Mass) and Morse (R- Ore). Tydings said a new drive to get congress out of Washington by Sept. 9, contributed to the de cision to postpone action on UMT until next year. City in Negotiation For Better Power The College Station City Council met in special called session yester day to discuss further the report made by Dr. F. C. Bolton, pf-esi- dent-emeritus of A&M, on the Col lege Station electrical situation. R. W. Miller, general manager of the Brazos River Transmission Electric Cooperative, Inc., was on hand to speak to the group about the possibility of using power sup plied by his company. Mayor Ernest Langford reported that further negotiations will be made with Miller and other com pany representatives to possibly find a better and cheaper source of electric power for the city. Albuquerque Gets Whistle Lesson Albuquerque, N. M.,—hRt—Al buquerque yesterday learned it takes about an hour for 200 to 300 pounds of steam to go through a locomotive whistle. The whistle stuck just as a locomotive was tooting into posi tion to take a string of freight cars out of the yards. It kept tooting until the pres- ^uyg .dropped enough to permit re pairs. from the City Desk New Development Will Boom City By JOEL AUSTIN Battalion City Editor College Station may not be among the older communities in this part of the state, but with the news of plans for de velopment of the Tauber estate near the North Gate area, this college town is destined to be one of the most modern and well-planned municipalities in the Brazos Valley terrb tory. J. C. Culpepper, local real estate entrepreneur, has laid out the plans to make such developments a reality by his re cent purchase of the Tauber estate, a tract of land which borders the city from the St. Mary’s Catholic Chapel to the “circle” on Sulphur Springs Road. His plans call for a shopping district to be erected west of the circle, as well as residential sections including apart ment houses, cottages, and more exclusive homes in the back part of the new development. Culpepper, who not too many years ago opened the College Hills area of College Station, has engaged an exper ienced city planner from Dallas to lay out the plot of land in accordance with his specifications. With the addition of the new, highly modernized section of town, a more general and centralized business district will be made available at the North Gate to local residents. It would also make it necessary for the City Council to add all the land included in the 109-acre plot to the city. With the new residential district will come many more people connected with the college who have been forced to live away from College Station because of crowded housing conditions. With them they will bring hundreds of dollars to be spent at businesses in this city. Although the whole development is naturally planned as a money-making proposition, it is certainly an investment in a newer, more modern city of College Station. Citizen’s Committee Appointed Losing very little time in following up the City Coun cil’s action on the petition from local residents requesting better fire protection, Mayor Langford appointed a “citizen’s committee” which will investigate present means of fire pro tection and make any recommendation it decides upon to the City Council for their consideration. With Dr. L. P. Gabbard, head of the Agricultural Eco nomics and Rural Sociology Department, leading the com- Finittee it is composed of Ef E. Mc- Quillen, E. E. Vezey, C. F. Rain water, T. R. Holleman, L. D. Smith, B. B. Brown, L, E. McCall, J. II. Sorrels, C. W. Crawford, and C. J. Keese. Gabbard said last night he had made no definite plans for a meet ing of the group, but he assured us the committee would be called to gether sometime next month. “I haven’t formulated any plans concerning the committee’s activi ties,” the chairman said, “but one of the first things we should do is get a picture of the present con ditions of fire protection and then through suggestions, of committee men and other people, actual irec- omendations can b^ made to{ the City Council.” ’ I. W. Rnpels Attend Wisconsin Wedding Dr. and Mrs. I. W. Rupel and Miss Joan Rupel of College Sta tion have returned from Roxburg, Wis. where they attended the wed ding of their son, John W. to Miss Florence Margaret Marx. The marriage ceremonies were held August 19 in Roxburg. Miss Rupel served as one of the brides maids. The newlyweds will visit Col lege Station on the first) week in September before they go to Gal veston where he will enter medical school. -“NO SAD”- (Continued from Page 2) learns the truth and makes her ,ast months the happiest of her life. The outcome is inevitable, but Director Rudolph Mate and Screen Adaptor Howard Koch have han dled things perfectly and one isn’t left with the sticky feeling of emo tional scorn. Both men should be congratulated heavily for keeping within bounds what could easily have become a ponderous melo drama. The entire picture is a play upon the emotions, but the ‘heavy” scenes are never allowed to run away with themselves. Each member of the cast may feel quite proud, but the picture was undoubtedly written for Miss Sullavan and she plays every scene with the same refinement that won for her such great acclaim on Broadway. Comment: The women will find the picture more appealing than the men. (Adult audience classi fication.) STUDENT TO DO ART WORK for Student Publications. Long hours, low pay.

Through the years, in good times and bad, few things have given so much for so little as your telephone. Its value in some instances cannot even be estimated. A single call may save a life . . . make a friend . . . save hours of time . . . close an important business deal. Yet a telephone call continues to be one of the biggest bargains money can buy. The cost of telephone service has gone up far less than most other things in recent years. Day and night your telephone stands ready to make calls — and to receive them. And, while providing a service of great value, your Telephone Company is also one of the larger employers, taxpayers and purchasers in the state—a good citizen of the communities it serves.
