Whistling Prowler
Threatens Bride
New Orleans, Sept. 21—<# > )—-A
terror-stricken 18-year-old bride-
to-be is under police protection be
cause a sulking night prowler
whistling a funeral dirge has
threatened her life.
.But even in the face of death
threats, pretty Jacquelyn Cadow
says she will wed, even if she has
to have a policeman escort her
down the aisle.
Jacquelyn and her mother, Mrs.
Clifford Cadow, came here from
their Paradis, La., home after
" many sleepless nights during which
the prowler whistled his mourn
ful funeral march beneath the
girl’s window.
‘ Jacquelyn, engaged to marry
state trooper Herbert Belson, 26,
of New Orleans, on Oct. 1 told re-
Bradley Warns
Reds Against
General War
• Detroit, Sept. 21—(AP) —
Gen. Omar N. Bradley sound
ed a warning today for the
# Communists not to start a
general war.
The chairman of the joint chiefs
of staff said, “we believe com
munists and free peoples can live
in the world without war.”
“But if the communists insist
that only one or the other can
survive, then we are determined
}t shall be the free peoples,” he
told the Detroit Rotary Club.
He warned Americans to be pre
pared to dig in for a long period
of tension and sacrifice.”
Earlier in a press conference he
said he was hopeful that America’s
"mmediate resistance to aggression
in Korea might have “successfully
stopped a whole planned series of
aggressive acts.”
i He described the nation’s plans
to bolster military strength as a
means to “discourage war, not
huild up for war.”
Bradley, whose promotion to the
rank of a five-star general was ap-
. proved today by the senate, called
the United States’ military accom
plishments in Korea a miracle.
“It is the first time in history
that any nation has made a suc
cessful piecemeal commitment of
of its armed forces in the face
of a moving, hard-striking enemy,
and won the initial decision,” he
said.
porters this story:
Last February the mystery man
began skulking around her home
at night, whistling tunes and wolf
calls. Police were called but the
whistler always escaped. Several
times when Jacquelyn’s father, a
night worker in an oil field, was
away from home, someone broke in
but always eluded police.
Funeral March Starts
When Jacquelyn’s engagement
was announced Aug. 1 the whistled
tunes changed to a funeral march.
Then came telephoned threats.
“Your daughter will never marry
Herbert,” the caller told Mrs. Ca
dow one night. “I’m going to kill
her, and if I don’t get her, I’ll
get the boy.”
A short time later the shrilly-
whistled funeral march was heard
at the home where Jacquelyn was
staying. Police guarding the front
of the house rushed to the rear
but the whistler had vanished.
Losing Weight
“Pm so scared I don’t know
what to do,” she said. “I’ve lost
18 pounds already because of this
thing.
“How can I get ready for my
wedding when I’m so scared I can’t
sleep or eat ? I’ll have tb have a
policeman usher me up the aisle.”
Several hundred guests have
been invited to the wedding.
Jacquelyn snid she hopes the
whistler won’t be there but even
as she said it, she recalled that in
one of his threatening phone calls
he told her mother:
“Don’t forget, I’ll be at that
wedding.”

New Biology Building
Receiving Final Work
Little more than a year after
construction was begun, the new
Biological Sciences building is
nearing completion. Built to house
the Biology and Entomology de
partments, the building is already
occupied, with many of the of
fices and several of the labora
tories and classrooms already in
use while the construction crews
are busily putting on the finishing
touches.
Moving of equipment from the
old hall, which began early last
week, is now almost complete, ac
cording to Dr. C. C. Doak, head of
the Biology Department. Only the
Bacteriology Department remains
to be moved, and that only because
all of its new equipment has not
yet arrived. Only the departments
of Oceanography and Plant Path-
fology and Physiology will remain
in the older building.
Sleek and Modern
Functionality and beauty are the
^highlights of the new hall. Sleek
and modern in white brick on the
outside, its interior presents a
pleasing array of flourescent in
direct lighting, sound-absorbent
ceilings, asphalt tile floors, and
'restful two-toned-gray walls.
The new building’s four floors
"offer a welcome change from the
two floors of the old Science Hall
—it contains a 122-seat auditorium,
a herbarium, a storeroom, three
classrooms, 24 laboratories, and 43
offices. Among the facilities in
the new building not present in
the old one are the auditorium,
a bee-house, and a fourth-floor air-
conditioned animal room.
Air Plentiful
Although the entire building is
not air-conditioned, plenty of win
dows of the open-wide variety as
sure lots of fresh air on even the
most scorching August days, while
new style steam radiators will
warm Aggies’ toes comfortably in
January.
Dr. Doak also pointed out that
the new building has an extra fea
ture not previously anticipated.
Built in an L-shape, the hall faces
from two sides upon a quadrangle
also bounded by the old hall and a
hothouse. Surrounded as it is by
warm buildings, the quadrangle
can be used to grow “exotic”
plants— the semi-tropical plants
not usually seen in northern Texas.
Receiving as it does a great deal
of winter sunshine, the quadrangle,
will make an ideal outdoor labora
tory.
Together with the new Memorial
Student Center, the modern-design
Science Hall is another asset to
the campus of which any Aggie
may be proud.

Truman Urges
Congressmen to
Stop Aid Ban
Washington, Sept. 21—(^1
— President Truman urged
United States and fdrnish weapons
Congress yesterday to refrain
from barring economic aid to
nations which sell war poten
tial articles to irpn curtain, coun
tries. He said that such a course
carries “danger to . the , United
States and to world peace.”
Mr. Truman presented the argu
ment in letters calling on the law
makers to discard a rider which
the Senate had tacked onto the
$17 billion emergency appropria
tion to buy more arms for the
United States and furnish weapons
to friendly nations overseas.
The President wrote to Senator
McKellar (D-Tenn) and Rep. Can
non (D-Mo), chairmen of the ap
propriations committees of the two
houses, just ahead of scheduled
action by the House on the issue.
There were quick indications
that he might make some headway
with his plea, but - no hints that
the whole idea was, likely to be
thrown out.
At the time the letter was made
public key House members were
predicting that their branch would
accept the Senate proposal.
There was no important dispute
among the House, Senate and
White House over other provisions
of the bill. Its principal allot
ments are $11,736 million for na
tional defense and $4 billion for
foreign arms aid. ,
The ban on economic assistance
to countries selling war-useful ma
terials to the Soviet east never
had been passed on by the House
before the measure came up there
yesterday. '
The ban was proppsed by Sena
tor Wherry (R-Nebj, The Senate
wrote it into the hill, and House
spokesmen refused to accept it in
the conferences held to adjust dif
ferences between the two
branches.
