In a letter to liennie Zinn, chair man of the Chest ‘committee, * Adams gave their reason for with drawing from the drive: “Since the College Station Com- munity Chest directors have re- t fused the proposal of cooperation and have reduced the Red Cross hpyj^t of $2,500 to $2,000 with a\'*ifWication of a possible fuither cut, ih is the feeling of the di rectors of the local chapter of the American Red Cross that we can not make this further concession.” The Red Cross’ proposal of co operation, as Adams said in his letter, was, “First, the American Red Cross shall be named as a principal in the drive with its name printed as such; Second, the local chapter is to set the amount needed in the budget.” The Battalion PUBLISHED DAILY IN THE INTEREST OF A GREATER A&M COLLEGE COLLEGE STATION (Aggieland), TEXAS, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1952 Published By A&M Students For 75 Years Price Five Ceuta National Issue Of Tidelands Hurts Texas, Sen, Johnson Says Sen.

No ‘Maybe’ About It \\ Ink Spots Coming To Guion By BOB HENDRY Battalion News Writer Four things will happen at Guion Hall Tuesday, Oct. 28, at 8 p. m. which undoubtedly will cause the greatest attendance increase Pi nee Ray Anthony’s concert. > These four things are the Ink Spots, currently appearing at lead ing theatres, night clubs and ball rooms throughout the country. Along with the Ink Spots will be the famous Cootie Williams orches tra. Composing the Ink Spots are Charlie Fuqua, Ivory (Deek) Wat son, Jimmy Holmes, and Harold Jackson. Fuqua with his baritone voice and guitar has been outstanding as a performer since the act was established years ago in Indianap olis. Fuqua strains like lightning on his guitar and has been a main stay of the group ever since it made its debut as a sustaining pro gram on a Cincinnati radio station many years ago. Toured England Watson, like Fuqua, is also one of the original members of the Ink Spots, and his prancing, sing ing, and strutting is nationally and internationally known. Along with Fuqua and the late Orvlle (Hoppy) Jones, Watson toured with Jack Hylton in Eng land, appeared on the NBC net work and was presented on Bing Crosby’s “Music Hall” program. Holmes, a native of Philadelphia, sang as soloist with the American ‘ Fulbright Act Gives Foreign Scholarships Several hundred Americans will have opportunities to undertake graduate work or research studies abroad this year under the terms of the Fulbright Act. The awards will enable students in the fields of graduate and re search work to study in many for eign universities and institutions. Senator William J. Fulbright (D-Axk) was responsible for the act, passed in 1948. Foreign coun tries borrowed many U. S. dollars while the lend-lease program was ■'Wn effect during World War II. i en ^ t* 10 war brought bad ,'limes to foreign lands and many countries could not repay us. The 7 state department then incorporated the Fulbright Act. The Fulbright Scholarships will ft be for one year and will include round trip transportation from the port of debarkation. The scholar ship will also include tuition, a living allowance, and a small sub sistence for books and equipment. The grants will be made in the currencies of the respective for eign countries. No allowances will be made for dependents. Students interested in these scholarships should be able to speak fluently the language of the country in which they will study. A' high grade average is also required. Everyone who is interested in the scholarships should see R. L. Elkins in K Building in the tem porary classroom area as soon as possible. In addition to the Ful bright Program, Elkins has infor mation on scholarships granted by The Institute of International Ed ucation, the Federal Security Agency, and the Committee on In ternational Exchange of Persons. Male Chorus and the Blue Jacket Choir of the US Navy. As tenor of the Ink Spots, he takes the lead when the unit sings sweet ballads. Jackson, bass and bass fiddle player with the quartet, is a bril liant singer and is the perfect blend to a well-rounded unit that excells in harmony. Jackson Is Song Writer Hailing from Chicago, 111., Jack- son is among other things a tal ented song writer, musician and arranger. He has performed with Duke Ellington, Rot Lips Page, and “Stuff’ Smith. Over the years, many songs have been made famous by the Ink Spots. “If I Didn’t Care,” “Java Jive,” “Do I Worry,” “Maybe,” “Brown Gal,’ “Just For A Thrill,” and “Making Believe” are just a few of these. The group still sings the old favorites at its engage ments. The Ink Spots today are possibly even greater than they were when they launched upon their career which delighted music lovers and diversian seekers with its distinct ive style. The silky-smooth and honey- sweet song stylists with their atomic jive and mellowed ballads probably will be acclaimed by their audience as a high spot in entertainment.

The inspecting group consisted of administrative officials, agricultural scientists, architects and engineers from the southern college. Under the direction of Dr. H. P. Copper, dean and director of agriculture at Clemson, the group is visiting seven leading agricul tural colleges of the U. S., in pre paration for a major expansion of agricultural facilities at Clemson. The group has just cohipleted visits to Pennsylvania State Col lege, University of Wisconsin, Ora- gon State College, University of California, and Western Regional Research Laboratory (USDA), Albany, California. During their visit to the cgtn- pus, the group was shown the facilities of the college by D. W. Williams, vice chancellor for ag riculture of the A&M' System.

Adlai E. Stevenson in five of 11 states have tightened the presidential race in the last six weeks. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, list ed early in September as leading in 10 of 11 states, now is consid ered ahead in eight of the 11. The combined view of newsmen who took pait in a second, mid- October survey of political pros pects for The Associated Press is that Democratic nominee Steven son now might get Utah and Wash ington by a hairline margin if the election were held at this time. First Switches These are the first apparent switches to turn up m tUe sur vey. The two states were regard ed as leaning slightly toward Re- publican candidate Eisenhower around Labor Day. In Utah and Washington, as in many other states, margins favor ing one candidate or the other are so wispy as to leave the outcome on Nov. 4 very much in doubt. Silent voters—people who have taken no position or who prefer not to discuss their stand—could be the decisive factor in the elec tion. Other elements are at work, too, in the political cross currents sweeping through the West: For the most part, editors say t h e racking, socking campaign President Truman has carried to the whistle stops has backfired against Stevenson. A few think the President got in telling blows on Eisenhower. The Cry Of The Wild Goose Most newsmen say Eisenhower got a boost from the airing of the financial affairs of sis vice presi dential running mate, Sen. Richard M. Nixon of California. Only a couple called the affair a “fiasco” or anything of that sort. Stevenson is regarded as scor- inn with his own campaigning, particularly with attempts to per suade the people that Eisenhower has surrendered the GOP reins to Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio. Edi tors in Oregon, New Mexico, Colo rado, Washington and Idaho men tion the Eisenhower-Taft tie as hurting the general. In the main, the same old issues stand out—peace, prosperity, time for .a change, and all of them lumped together With corruption, communism and Korea.

Cars Not Responsible For Wierd Honking “My heart knows what the wild goose knows,” and they’re coming’ south for the winter. The past few nights, honking cries of wild geese have broken the silence of call to quarters. Their cries can be heard for several minutes before they arrive overhead. Almost with the first breath of winter, the birds wing their way to the grain fields along the Gulf Coast; then as spring blows in they’ll return to their nesting grounds in the northern lake states and Canada. Most of the birds flying over are Blue and Snow geese with a few Canadian and White Fronted geese mixed in. ‘ For I’m a brother to the old wild goose.” Ain’t we all. Consolidated Sponsors Adult Training Class A&M Consolidated Schools are sponsoring a series of Adult Education courses for white and Negro residents of College Station. The first part of the program, a Household Employment Train ing Course for Negroes will be gin Tuesday, Oct. 28, at Lincoln School. Registration for this course will be Thursday night at Lincoln School, or with W. A. Tarrow, principal of Lincoln. The 15-week course will be taught for two hours on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Instruction will be given ini’ preparation of pastries, meats, wild game, sea foods, vegetables, salads, cakes, beverages, market ing, and mass cookery. Training will be under the di rection of Prairie View A&M and the State Board of Vocational Education. “Most employers are paying their servants $4 tuition fee for the course in order to insure good service by their maids,” said Les Richardson, superintendent o f A&M Consolidated. No definite date has been set for the training course for whites. ness susceptible to war “We know that the weaker we are, the greater is the possibility of aggression against the United States. I’m confident that none of the wars would have occurred had we been prepared. Fight Inevitable “We couldn't run from the Ko rean War, we had to fight. Keep ing our Armed Forces active will mean sacrifices from all of us. To day, 85 cents of every tax dollar is being used in military prepared ness. We have shown to the rest of the world by our action in Ko rea, that where our fathers falter ed, we Will fight for peace.” Johnson said the United Nations was getting “wobblier” and the on ly thing that keeps the United States out of a World war is that we have more atomic bombs than Russia. “We have more bombs, because we were willing to gamble money to save lives. Had we not had the bombs we now would be involved in another world war. Check Yourself “My advice to you is to look af ter your own family, your neigh bor’s family, and the welfare of your country to do what’s right, that we may live as peaceful citi zens in liberty.” Interrupted by applause 1 0 times, Johnson answered a question about Sen. Joe McCarthy. “I don’t think Sen. McCarthy’s charges are well founded. He has n’t caught a communist yet and I think many persons have been falsely accused.” (See JOHNSON, Page 2) Shows Aggies True Meaning of Friendship Contralto Honors Audience By JERRY BENNETT Battalion Amusements Editor Lucile Cummings, nationally fa mous contralto who sang at Town Hall last night, paid her audience a compliment which under the cir cumstances should make many feel proud and a few very ashamed. At the beginning of her concert, some students sitting in the bal cony left the auditorium between numbers without waiting for the intermission. The exit was made in such a manner the noise could be heard throughout the building. This action would have been enough to anger many artists and cause them to regret ever giving the concert, but Miss Cummings told people back stage after the show she was very well pleased with her audience. Although she said it was the first time people had behaved rude ly at one of her concerts, she thought the majority of the aud ience was very receptive and a pleasure to sing for. Voted by music critics as “the outstanding contralto in America,” Miss Cummings has one of the most charming and gracious per sonalities which has ever compli mented Town Hall. During the confusion, she never lost her poise or chai'm. Backstage she went out of her way to do everything pos sible to please her fans, auto graphing all programs handed her and posing for numerous pictures. She was friendly to everyone, her smile one of time sincerety instead of false stage routine. After the program, she accom panied members of Town Hall staff to the MSC Fountain Room for coffee where she talked on sub jects ranging from show business to Aggie traditions. She seemed interested in all subjects mentioned and was able to talk at length on each one. A very attractive woman dress ed in a striking blue gown, Miss Cummings surprised some Foun tain Room customers by answering their complimentary stares with her charming smile and a friendly wave of her hand. She set every one with her at ease, making them feel she was their personal friend instead of just a new acquaintance. Lucile Cummings showed time friendship and courtesy to a school which prides itself on these tradi tions but which last night lacked both.
