Ag Fish Tonight In
Fort Worth Stadium
P,y RALPH GORMAN
Today at 11:30 a. m. Coach Per
ron Shoemaker’s Fish football team
* boarded chartered buses to travel
to Fort Worth where they will
meet the TCU Poliwogs in Purple
Stadium at 8 under the arcs.
The Aggie freshmen will try to
bounce back into the win column
tonight after dropping into the
ranks of the losers last week,
when they fell before a powerful
' Baylor Cub team, 33-0. In the
opening Fish game an Allen Aca
demy eleven was turned back with
a deluge of scoring in the second
half, 33-20.
Lack of speed in the Cadet
line will be a big drawback when
they are matched with a Wog line
that has proven to be alert and
quick to move against the aggres
sor.
From the Wog camp comes the
report that this year’s freshman
team cannot possibly match the
seasonal record set by the Wog
- team of a year ago. The 1949
VVogs bested four of their five
opponents.
Wogs Tied Arlington
Veterans of only one game so
far, the VVogs showed talented
. backs to engineer future victories
when they tied an Arlington State
College team G all. Danny Powell,
the Archer City triple threat; Du
mas’ Ray McKown, Ballinger’s
Dan Hallmark, Paris’ Sammy Mor
row', and Glenn Jones from Cow-
lown’s Paachal High are five of
..tin* Wog stalwarts who led the
Christian charges in their initial
battle.
The Wog line is reputed to out
weigh the Fort Worth varsity at
193 pounds and their speedy for-
ward produces exceptional blocking.
Walter Roach, TCU Wog coach,

through grueling drills, as he in

mands that his charges “be ready”

Hurricane Hits Florida,
T otal Damage F nknown
By ERNEST B. VACCARO
San Francisco, Oct. 18 — <2Pi —
President Truman set the world
stage today for an unprecedented
counter-offensive to Soviet peace
propaganda. He offered a full
“partnership of peace” to all Asia,
backed up by United States mili
tary might.
The State Department’s “Voice
of America” bombarded every
reachable listener with a constant
repetition of Truman’s warning to
the peoples of the Far East that
Russia is trying to turn them into
“colonial slaves of a new imperial
ism.”
And the President left for the
Russian politburo a bold and blunt
reminder that the United States
wdll not stop short of war to resist
aggression and preserve “our free
way of life.”
Mr. Truman flew back to Wash
ington shortly after delivering his
major foreign policy speech last
night in the war Memorial Opera
House where the United Nations
charter w'as born five years ago.
He left San Francisco’s interna
tional airport at 11:15 a.m., EST.,
on the last, eight-hour leg of a
14,400-mile round trip flight during
which he. talked with General Doug
las MacArthur on Wake Island
about what, he said, were the
“dangers which still face us.”
“What we want is a partnership
for peace with all the world,” Mr.
Truman told a cheering audience.
He said “we want peace but it
must be a peace founded upon jus
tice. That American policy is as

Aggie Players to Meet

Miami, Fla., Oct. 18——A hur
ricane headed toward Florida’s rich
citrus belt today after pounding
Miami with 125-mile an hour winds
and leaving an estimated $2,000,000
damage in its wake.
Losing some force as it pushed
northward near the eastern edge
of Lake Okeechobee, the hurricane
still packed winds of near 100 miles
an hour as it aimed for central
Florida.
It had passed to the west of
Fort Lauderdale and the “Gold
Coast” area between Miami and
Palm Beach but that 70-mile strip
was on the fringe and felt its
fury.
In a 4:30 a.m. (EST) advisory
the weather bureau said the storm
was centered about 25 miles west
of Palm Beach, near latitude 26.6
north, longtitude 80.4 west, mov
ing north northwest at 12 to 14
miles per hour.
Should Lose Force
“It should continue a northerly
course today and gradually lose
force but hurricane precautions
should be continued from the Palm
Beach-Lake Okeechobee area north
ward to the Titusville-Orlando
area,” the advisory said.
Strong winds were forecast for
the remainder of north and central
Florida and winds of gale force
will extend northward to the At
lantic Coast as far as Charleston,
S. C.
As day dawned over southeast
Florida, reports of damage began
trickling in.
Miami Safety Director O. D.
(Jack) Henderson said he “would
not be surprised if the property
damage reaches or exceeds $2,000,-
000.”
Henderson made two general
tours of the debris-littered city
and said:
“If it’s as bad all over as it is
in those parts I saw,” it may easily
reach that figure.”
No Deaths
Five persons were injured but
no deaths were reported immediate
ly. All Miami policemen were
called to duty. Electricity was
off in most of- the city.
There was no water in many
sections, especially in the suburbs.
Telephone service between Miami
and Miami Beach failed. Many
other phone lines were down in the
area where half a million people
live.
Fort Lauderdale, raked by 100-
mile-an-hour winds, was plunged
into darkness. Some damage was
reported to roofs, windows and
shrubbery. Reports from Davis,
just west of Fort Lauderdale, said
that farming community was “hard
hit.”
The hurricane was expected to
pass between West Palm Beach
and Lake Okeechobee, an area 40
miles wide. It was moving north
or north-northwest at 12 to 15
miles an hour.
Precautions Urged
The weather bureau urged all
precautions for the protection of
life and property in those areas
and in the counties to the north
and east of Lake Okeecohbee to
the Titusville area.
Miami began to survey damage.
The storm toppled radio towers,
snapped power lines and uprooted
trees. Windows were smashed and
shrubbery whipped to shreds.
While there was no spectacular
damage, some buildings were un
roofed and damage to homes from
water likely will be considerable.
The wind tore off chunks of roof
ing and rain whipped in.
By GEORGE CHARLTON
A man who was fired for singing
on the job, ironically enough, will
step in front of the Guion foot
lights tomorrow night to initiate
the first of the Town Hall series
and to give vent to a voice which
some critics have described as the
“finest dramatic baritone in the
world.”
The singer they are refering
to is Leonard Warren, star of the
Metropolitan Opera Company. The
boss who fired him either had a
bad ear for music or simply let
it get on his nerves. At any rate,
after Warren’s dismal failure in
business, he went on up in the
musical world quickly and to the
point where laurel upon laurel
were heaped on his vocal abilities.
Began at 27
He began his first singing lesson
at 27 when he left the world of
business and got a job with the
Glee Club of Radio City Music
Hall. Even then no one exclaimed
“oh my, you have a beautiful voice”
or that “you just gotta do some
thing wdth it.” In fact, the reaction
was adverse: his voice wasn’t vir
ile enough, they told him, and he
was again fired.
When his voice was better than
it had ever been before, he created
an extremely good impression upon
listeners and was signed up. Since
his debut in ’39, his rise has been
almost phenomenal. Today the bari
tone has starred in some 22 operas
although his repertoire when he
was auditioned was limited to three
arias. After Warren became a mem
ber of the Met, he performed the
almost impossible feat of memor
izing seven operas in six months
time.
Well Filled Agenda
He’s mo lazy individual. Beside
his Met career, he’s also the mem
ber of four other opera companies.
Between operatic appearances, he
makes an annual concert tour of
the U. S. and Canada. He has been
guest artist on the Voice of Fire
stone and FCA-Victor radio pro
grams.
Record fans rate Warren high
on their lists. He has recorded
works from nine operas including
“Tales of Hoffman,” “Faust,” and
“Falstaff.’
His program tomorrow night in
cludes 17 selections from such com
posers as Rossini, Gounod, Debussy,
Brahms, Verdi, and Handel. Wil
lard Sekterb, his accompanist, will
furnish piano musical background
during the two-hour program.
Tickets may be purchased in the
Student Activities Office.

It has been set up for the pur

are interested in agriculture.
Exchangees are selected from
the farm school on merits revealed
while they are students. While at
the AFS, Achilleas was president
of the Student Council during his
senior year and contributed much
to the life of the students. Most
of the students are from the poorer
farm families in Greece.
When asked what he thought of
teaching methods and the educa

a large school as this. He appeared
to be very much impressed by the

old as our republic and it is strong-
er today than ever before in our
history. And with God’s help we
intend to keep it that way.”
The crowd applauded vigorously
as the President declared “we are
increasing our armed strength be
cause Soviet policies leave us no
other choice.”
If the Soviets “really want
peace,” Mr. Truman continued,
they can prove it “by living up to
the principles of the United Na
tions charter;” and “by joining
the rest of the United Nations in
calling upon the North Koreans
to lay down their arms at once;
and “by lifting the iron curtain
and permitting the free exchange
of information and ideas,” and, fi
nally, by joining with the UN to
establish a system of collective se
curity “which will permit the eli
mination of the atomic bomb and
the drastic reduction and regula
tion of all other arms and armed
forces.”
Mr. Truman declared that until
the Soviet Union does these things
“we are determined to build up
the common defensive strength,of
the free world.”
. What the United States did for
Korea, he said in effect, it stands
ready to do, in conjunction with
the United Nations, for any peace
ful country that finds its borders
violated and its freedom attacked.
“We Hate War”
“We hate war,” the President
declared, “but we love our liber
ties. We wil not see them de
stroyed.
“We want peace, but it must be
a peace founded upon justice. That
American policy is as old as our
republic, and it is stronger today
than ever before in our history.
We intend to keep it that way.”
The “Voice of America” trans
mitters hammered home the Presi
dential effort to drive a wedge be
tween Russia and countries of the
Far East by assailing Soviet Com
munism for making “the false
claims to these peoples that it
stands for progress and human
advancement.”
Actually, the President declared,
“it seeks to turn them into the
colonial slaves of a new imperial
ism.”
Mr. Truman promised American
support of all who resist—just as
did South Korea — with these
words:
“We know that the peoples of
Asia cherish their freedom and
independence.
“We sympathize with that desire
and will help them to attain and
defend their independence. Our
entire history proclaims our policy
on that point.
Fighting Now
“Our men are fighting now in
Asia to help secure the freedom
and independence of a small na
tion which was brutally attacked.”
Mi'. Truman countered Russia’s
peace propaganda by tagging that
country with responsibility for
fear and unrest in both Asia and
in Europe, and said the United
States and associated nations will
continue to build up their arms
to resist attack.
“This is not a task for the Unit
ed States alone. It is a task for
the free nations to undertake to
gether. And the free nations are
undertaking it together.”
