• Withdraws
From Chest
M. E. Adams, chairman of
the Brazos County chapter of
the American Red Cross, an
nounced yesterday that the
Red Cross was withdrawing
from tho Col lego Station Com
munity Chest drive.
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.”

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.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22—(A 5 )—Ed
itors and political coxrespondents
in the mountain-West Coast i - e-
gion believe gains by Gov. 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.”

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.
