*It Hurf ‘Brassiere Brigade’ Shuttle Painfully Pilfers Quarters Miami, Fla., Sept. 27—t#)—The case of the “brassiere brigade” and the missing 1 quarters reached a le gal dead end yesterday. Twelve persons, who authorities say admitted they took part in a long-term swindle of Southern Bell Telephone Company funds, were freed after a hearing because no UN Planes Drop Propaganda of Seoul Capture Tokyo, Sept. 26—(IP) — A leaflet drop by United Na tions planes today announced the capture of Seoul to North and South Koreans. Planes dropped 2,160,000 leaflets bearing- maps showing how cap ture of the South Korean capital from Red North Koreans cut their supply lines.- The leaflets were dropped on North Korean troops, cities, and on South Korean population centers still controlled by the Reds. The back of the leaflets carried this message: “The United Nations and Repub lic of Korea forces have captured Seoul! “Inchon and Kimpo airfield have fallen. “The Comuniste have been dealt a severe defeat. “The loss of Seoul cuts the sup ply routes from the war material factories and arsenals of North Korea to the Communist troops in the south. It shuts off the flow of reinforcements to these forces and severs their path of retreat. “Further resistance is futile. “The U. N. forces, representing 53 of the 59 member nations of the U. N. have guaranteed humane treatment for all North Korean soldiers who surrender. If the Communist leaders insist on con tinuing their war of aggression they and they alone will bear full responsibility for the needless death of many innocent people.” High School Adds Chaney to Staff J.

Police estimated more than $100,000 has been stolen from the telephone company’s coin counting room over a period of years by girl employes who sneaked out rolls of quarters in their brassieres. Assistant Dade County solicitor Michael F. Zarowny said eight women and four men yesterday ad mitted taking as much as $150 a day from the company counting room. But when the statements were put in writing, all refused to sign. The telephone company said it could not sign an affidavit because it had no record of how mucK money was stolen, if it was stolen, and when. The police department said it couldn’t prosecute on a verbal ad mission alone, and until someone Women’s Group Sets Party Series A series of welcome parties will be held next week by the Bryan- College Station Branch of the American Association of Univer sity Women.

WEISS CIVILIAN — MILITARY Clothing — Furnishings (Next to Campus Theatre) Car Driving Course Offered at CHS A driving course is being of fered to the students of A&M Con solidated High School for the first time, L. E. Boze, principal, has announced. The course lasts one semester. The class consists of 36 students who will receive one-half credit in the course.

The instructor is able to be with the student at all times. signs an affidavit charging a crime, they too are stymied, Judge Holt impounded between $8,000 and $10,000 in coins currency and negotiable bonds rounded up by more than a dozen law officers. Attorney for the 12 persons said he would sue for the return of the money “to my clients.” The telephone company said it wasn’t going to do anything yet. A spokesman for the company said no statement would be made “until every angle of thisi thing is explored.” Zarowny explained that sealed boxes from pay stations are brought to the counting room. There the counting room girls break the seals and put the coins through counting machines. That is the first official record of pay telephone revenue. The girls, he continued, drop ped rolls of nickles, dimes and quarters into their brassieres be fore they were put through the counting machines. Thus no rec ord of the exact amount of silver could be made. Zarowny quoted Betty Corrigan, blonde 23-year-old counting room employe, as saying the girls put in “four or five rolls of quarters, but not very often because it hurt.” “Sometimes we averaged $150 a day,” Zarowny said Betty told him.

The inscription was selected by members by the System Arch itect’s office and other College of ficials. All work on the plaque, from ori ginal design to final casting was done on the campus by college em ployees and student labor. A full size drawing of the plaque with every name lettered-in was done by Henry Mooney of the System Arch itect’s office, and designer of the plaque. The drawing was then transfer red to M. W. Watson’s office in the Mechanical Engineering foun dry where he and two students, J. C. Martin, senior Aero major from Ft. Worth and Z. H. Fehrman, senior Architect major from Hous ton made the bronze castings. First, blank aluminum patterns were made to hold the letters. There are over 10,000 individual letters on the memorial plaque and every one of these letters was set on the aluminum back by hand. Each of them had to be meticious- ly spaced on exactly drawn lines on the master pattern. The pattern was proof read for mistakes and then imbedded in sand to make a mold impression. Molten bronze was poured into the mold and the result was the four sections of the plaque now bolted on the west wall of the MSC main entrance. It took five weeks to do the shop work on the plaque. The list of names was compiled in the office Of the Association of Former Stu dents from lists of official war dead. They were taken from the classes of 1900 through the class of 1948. The names are set in letters 3/8 of an inch high. College Station Ki wants Club Hears ‘KidsDay’CityOfficers The College Station Kiwanis Club met in the Memorial Student Center for the first time yester day. The group, which had former ly met in the Sbisa Hall Annex, was called to order at 12 noon by President Joe Motheral. Honor guests for the meetng were the recently elected city of ficers from Consolidated High School who served in their official capacities Friday afternoon when they took over the city in connec tion with the Kiwanis-sponsored National Kid’s Day. Introduced by Kiwanian Ruby Leighton, the 'high school stu dents lined up in front of the speaker’s table to report-on their activities while in office. Royce Rodgers told the group he had found out while serving as mayor, the city of College Station had been incorporated 11 years. The senior student said, “The city began operation at that time with out a cent and today . . . ”: His talk was cut short by a roar of laughter. Gayle Kipple, city councilman from Ward III introduced the other members of the council.

City Manager Jack Burchard, re ported, “The city manager has the most difficult job considering what he is paid. And the city council has power to fire him if he em bezzles from the city.” Jerry Leighton, acting city en gineer, confessed he did not know there was such a person as a city engineer before he was appointed to the position. George Johnston, utility superintendent said, “I guess he (utility superintendent) has a pretty responsible job.” “The experience meant an awful lot to us and has been a very val* liable experience to me—hope the Kiwanians will continue to help us to become better citizens,” City Attorney Dick French commented. Assistant City Secretary Rita McDermott protested, “Jack Bur chard couldn’t decide who he want ed to sit on his lap, but it looks like Martha Ann Williams, head secretary, won the job.” With reports from Byron An drews, chief of police, and Martha Ergle, patrolwoman, concerning their activities, Mayor Rodgers brought the program to a close by saying, “On behalf of Consol idated High School and those of us who had the opportunity, to serve as city officials, I wish to thank the Kiwanis Club for spon sorship of this National Kid’s Day program.” Confusion in Calling Reserves To Duty Cleared by Army-Navy The recently announced policy of the Army regarding delays in call to active duty of Army reser vists does not authorize delays for all Reservists who are enrolled in educational institutiions, Colonel Oscar B.
