Colonel in Korea Wants
Texas Flag from Shivers
Somewhere in Korea, Sept. 7—</P)—Memo to Gov. Allan Shivers
of Texas:
Lt. Col. C. H. Scott of the Air Forces in Korea wants a Texas
flag to fly with him over Korea.
He is sending you a letter requesting that the Lone Star emblem
be sent to him immediately. The letter says that Col. Scott, has “not
had* any peace of mind” since a fellow officer received a confederate
flag from North Carolina.
The Confederate stars and bars was sent to Maj. William H.
Booth of Syracuse, N. Y. Maj. Booth’s wife is the former Mary G.
Hines of Rutherfordton, N. C.
Summing up his plea, Scott wrote:
“I request you, Gov. Shivers to send me posthaste a Texas flag
to fly over my head day and night.”
And He Gets It.. .
Austin, Tex., Sept. 7—(A 5 )—Memo to Lt. Col. C. H. Scott of the
U. S. Air Forces somewhere in Korea:
Gov. Allan Shivers of Texas is gonna send you that Texas flag.
“And pronto-quick,” the governor said.
Shivers said he hasn’t received that letter Colonel Scott wrote
asking for the proud banner of the Lone Star State—the Lone Star
that flew when Texas was a republic.

subject material in the major
which he chooses if he is sure of
his desires for such a degree.
Orientatiion Sections

up for students who are unsure of

to make a choice. These sections in

“We’ve got to work fast,” Davis
Grant of Bryan, county chairman,
said. “Our quota is $400 and it
must be raised in membership dues
by September 11,” he told the
gathering. Pdembership is. open to
every citizen, and one may join
for one dollar.
The statewide commission is be

Each county has a" chairman and
the district chairman comprise the
senatorial districts. E. L. Angell
is chairman for this senatorial dis
trict.
The organization proposes to
promote and promulgate that leg

plications in administration and
operations set up at Austin, which,
in the last analysis, will mean more
efficient and more economical ex
