Born at Halletsville, Tex., Dr. von Rosenberg was graduated from the College of Veterinary Medicine at A&M in 1920. He engaged in private practice at Halletsville and Cuero for six years, then was ap pointed first assistant state veter inarian of Texas. Dr. von Roseberg was manager of the Department of Veterinary Medicine at Parke, Davis & Com pany and had been with the pharm aceutical firm for nearly 25 years. He died July 25 at Harper Hos pital in Detroit following an illness of more than a year. In August, 1928, Dr. von Rosen berg joined Parke-Davis at Kansas City. He remained there until Jan uary, 1943, when he was trans ferred to the firm’s New Orleans branch. In March, 1945, Dr. von Rosenberg came to the general of fices in Detroit as manager of the Department of Veterinary Medi cine. Survivors include the widow, Mrs. Monte von Rosenberg, 796 Bedford Road, Grosse P o i n t e, Mich.; a daughter, Monte Jean; and three brothers, H. J. of San An tonio,; F. A. of Jetersville, Va.; and C. W. of Dallas. Burial was held at Halletsville.

It was delayed a total of six and three-quarter hours by two Com munist customs inspections, but got through without confiscation. There were indication that Amer ican food would soon be arriving here in huge tonnages by rail and highway as well as air. It will be distributed directly to East Ger mans after repackaging in un- bi’anded containers. It also will replenish the reserves maintained here since 1949 to protect West Berlin from another Soviet block ade. Reds Scream “Slander” Red Premier Otto Grotewohl, who called the United States’ orig inal free-food offer a “slander against the German people,” went befor’e the Soviet zone Volksham- mer (Parliament) Wednesday and described the food relief in West Berlin as “American provocation.’ “We are willing to buy $15,000,- 000 or $50,000,000 worth—or more of American food and other goods if America will sell it at world prices under equal terms,” he as serted. The reason Grotewohl talked of paying was obvious. He could not afford to let the Soviet Union ap pear miserly by comparison with the United States. The Russians have agreed to sell GrotewohTs government' more food in return for German manufactures. They are giving nothing away free. Grotewohl rolled out an old chestnut for the Volkskammer—a proposal that the East and West German governments meet in Aug ust to draft an election law for unifying Germany. It was at best an attempt to draw voters from Chancellor Konrad Adenauer in his own fight for re-election Sept. 6. Reds Distort Truth Grotewohl deliberately distorted the West’s idea of free elections. He said the Allied powers wanted to control any election to be held in the Soviet zone, “thereby giv ing Fascists free play in all of Germany.” The fact is that the West de mands four-power supervision, with the Russians participating, to as sure political liberty everywhere in an all-German election. An August iriq^.We^t meeting would be a setup.,for ComVnunists to engage- in propaganda harang ues againgf Adenauer without com mitting themselves to anything. The proposal wag quickly rejecjfad by Adenauer’s-government. Oil chemists from over the world gathered at Texas A&M Monday, July 27, for the fifth short course of the American Oil Chemists’ So ciety. Conducted in cooperation with the college’s Institution of Oil Seed Technology, the course features some of the world’s leaders in the field as speakers. Eighty-eight chemists from over the U. S. and six foreign nations had registered when Pres. M. T. Harrington of the college wel comed'thq group to the campus for the week long session. Proctor- Thompson, president of the American Oil Chemists’ Society officially accepted the welcome and gave a brief history of the society and the short course program, which is designed to help newcom ers in the oiT chemistry field with its interchange of ideas and pre sentation of new technical findings. Dr. J. D. Lindsay, head of the Chemical Engineering Department at the college, is chairman of the program. Sponsors during the first day’s session were H. D. Fincher of Houston, Processing Ed ible Oil Seeds and Edible Oils”; G. H. Hickox of Knoxville, Tenn., “Hy- draulic Extraction of Cottonseed Oil;” John W. Dunning of Cleve land, Ohio. “History and Latest Developments in Expeller and Screw Press Operation on Cotton seed:” and B. H. Thurman of New Yoi’k City, “Refining Procedures: Lye, Soda Ash, Miscella.” Texans Are In The News In Spite Of Small Numbers Strept Throat Led Weeks Sick Lists Strept Throat with a total of 19 cases led the morbidity report list for the week ending July 25, according to the Bryan-Brazos County Health Unit. Second on the list was dysentery with 15, mumps with four cases was third, fourth was pneumonia with three, and .measles, malaria, and polio each registered one case. By BRUCE HENDERSON Associated Press Staff It’s not true that an unidenti fied Texan preceded Norkey and Hillary up Mt. Everest by 24 hours. But it seems from news dispatches that Texans do more world-traveling and headline-mak ing than numbers warrant. Maybe it’s Ben Hogan casually winning the British Open. Or El Paso lady matador Pat McCormick dispatching her bull in some Plaza de Toros south of the Rio Grande. The Texan is bound to crop up, us ually in entertaining circumstances. This has caused an alarming case of mass myopia among Texas newspapermen. The most micro scopic four-line item from, says, Monte Carlo must be scrutinized for the inevitable name of some body from Houston, Tahoka, Mule- shoe or Cedar Bayou. Possibly Texans, known far and wide for their captivating reserve have unwittingly intrigued the world’s newsmen. Anyway, a trav eling Texan hardly ever escapes no tice. Here’s what back-home editors came across on a recent night: Dallas model takes out marriage license with golfer-sparkplug heir Frank Stranahan at Chicago. Texas pilot whose jet ci’ashed in sea off Korea rescued by helicop ter so fast feet stay dry. Navy announces Dallas captain to command San Diego Fleet train ing group. Two Texas golfers advance in Public Links Tourney at Seattle. North Texas Country Squire By ron Nelson playing golf again in Arkansas. Mumps hit National Boy Scout jamboree in California. And who’s down with the malady?—-four jun ior-size Texans. The situation is such that when an annoyed man severa Imonths ago insisted to Georgia police he was not from Texas they wolldn’t believe him. Sure enough, he was —and they brought him back on charges of escaping from a Texas Jail. Britain Resumes Trade With Chinese Commies Desperate Soviets Yell ‘Horse Meat’ Berlin —(2P)—The Soviet zone news agency ADN claimed Wed nesday night that “United States army horse meat” is being hand ed out to East Germans in the Western relief program. “The recipients could hardly believe their eyes when they dis covered what the ‘generous’ Americans had given them,” A DN asserted. “The horse meat comes from Unted States Army supplies for medical c.orps dogs and was giv en out Tuesday at various points in West Berlin.” An American official commen ted: “Some ADN propagandist has gone crazy.” TRIPLE JET ACE WELCOMED — Maj. James Jabara, America’s first jet ace, (center) is welcomed at Perrin Air Force Base near Sherman and Denison, as he returned from his second tour of duty in Korea. He is greeted by his wife, their children, James, 4, and Carol Ann, 2, and by Col. Royal N. Baker, another jet of the Korean fighting. Col. Jabara increased the number of Communist MIGs he shot down to 15 during his second Korean tour to become a triple ace. Col. Baker shot down 13 Red MIGs during his one Korean tour. Oil Chemist Begin Sessions Of Fifth Annual Conference During the afternoon members of the short course toured the cam pus and facilities of the college. Countries represented at the short course other than the U. S. included Egypt, Argentina, Canada, Bahamas, Mexico and Venezuela. Maj. Cowan Resign To Take New Post Major William B. Cowan, coun selor in the New Dorm area has resigned his position at A&M to accept a post at Howard Phyne in Brown wood. Major Cowan has been employed at A&M for the past two years as counselor at Dorms 1 and 3. At Howard Payne he will head the Agriculture Department of the Daniel Baker College of Useful Arts. Prior to coming here, Major Cowan worked at the Agriculture Training Station for the Veterans Department for over four years. At that time his headquarters were at Howard Payne. Intramurals Offer Summer Tourneys Tournaments in open golf (singles and doubles) and open tennis (singles and doubles) will be conducted for students dur ing the second semester, and in tramural medals will be given in both sports, according to Bar ney Welch, program director. The golf tournament will be by flights, while the tennis will consist of one tournament only, Welch said. Both sports tournaments will be single elimination, that is, one loss will eliminate the con testant, he added. Students interested in compet ing in either or both tourna ments may enter by filling in the entry blank available in the student activities office before Wednesday, August 5, Welch said. Won’t Push UN Recognition Despite Laborite Pressure LONDON—UP).—Britain pledged Wednesday to help keep Red China out of the United Nations, for the time being at least, but served notice she is moving back into the lush China market. In the teeth of pressure from the opposition Labor party. Acting Prime Minister R. A. Butler and Acting Foreign Sec retary Lord Salisbury declared in Parliament: 1. Red China’s claims for representation in the U.N. must wait until the Korean peace conference opens. 2. Britain will continue to respect international embar goes on the export of war-potential goods to Red China, which she recognizes. 3. This country deems it right and proper to go on de veloping nonstrategic trade with the Peiping regime. As if to underline this last point a private, unofficial East-West trade group said the government has author ized the immediate export of nearly 10 million d o 1 1 a r s’ worth of nonstrategic goods ordered by Red China. The group, known as the British Council for the Promotion of Inter national Trade, helped to organize mission of nineteen British busi nessmen which recently signed up nearly ninety orders in Peiping for British goods. Council Director Roland Berger told a news conference the busi nessmen are seeing the president of Britain’s board of trade, Peter Thornycroft, soon in the hope of getting authority to ship a further 10 million dollars’ worth of margi nal goods to China. The board of trade, which has the final say on British exports, declined to confirm or deny that 10 million dollars’ worth of goods have been licensed for sale to Chi na. A spokesman said licenses Scramble Two Dallas—Mrs. Zada Thomas says an appreciative hen is giving her a bonus in eggs. When Mrs. Thomas disposed of her flock she retained the hen, a good layer. She says the hen soon started pro ducing eggs with double yolks every other day. Wilder Selected To Lead Camp Final Review Fort Sill, Okla. (spl.) — A&M Cadet Jack Wilder has been selec ted as the troop commander for the final review of the artillery ROTC summer camp.

H. Wilder, 2660 La. St. Beaumont, Texas. State L egis la tu res Trimming Secrecy What—No Change Longview—A man illegally trip ped a parking meter in Longview “to save a nickell.” Police pointed out he could have parked a thous and times for the fine—$50. By WILLIAM J. CONWAY Chicago —(IP)— Secrecy in gov ernment took a trimming in many state legislatures this year. • Lawmakers took action that had the effect of reducing the total area of secrecy by opening the doors to records and meeting con cerned with the public’s business. There is a movement among newsmen to make sure that the people can be kept fully informed about what is going on in govern ment. It is dedicated to the prin ciple that the people have the right to know. A sm-vey by the Associated Press shows that foes of secrecy made noteworthy progress in the long 1953 state lawmaking season now virtually ended. But there were reverses, too. Here is a brief summary of some of the actions by legislatures: Tennessee—Approved a bill re quiring local school boards to hold open meetings when acting on any matter involving public funds. Idaho—Adopted a law stating all meetings of county, city and school boards at which final ac tions are taken must be open to the public. Washington — enacted a law ad mitting the public to all final- decision meetings of state and local boards, commissions and agencies. Ohio—Approved a bill requiring open meetings of all state boards, commissions and agencies. California — adopted legislation requiring open meetings by local governing bodies, and declaring a state policy access to public rec ords. Indiana—Enacted an anti-secrecy law making it the state’s policy to keep official records open to public inspection. South Dakota — A new law re quires all state boards and com missions to file detailed minutes of their proceedings with the state comptroller, and makes them open to the public inspection. Maryland — Killed a “gag” bill that would have forbidden law en forcement officers to talk with newsmen, (for publication) about a criminal case before it came to trial. Pennsylvania — House and Sen- a t e appropriations committees opened hearings on departmental budget requests to newsmen for the first time within the memory of old-timers. Florida — Meetings of the sen ate-house conference committee to iron Mit differences in the general appropriation bill were open for the first time in years. The number of states that have opened their welfare rolls to pub lic inspection rose to 22. They are Indiana, which started the series of such actions in 1951, Illinois, Kansas, J enness' e, Ala- b •.nm, Utah, South Carolina, South Dakota, Oregon, Iowa, No»tr Caro lina, Arkansas, Florida, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Montana, Georgia, Mis- sisBippi, Virginia, Louisiana, Mich igan, Missouri.
