This training^ offered in the oceanography department, is the same program given to the group of 14 officers who entered here last fall and will complete their training at the end of the 1954 summer session. The decrease in number of train ees assigned to A&M reflects a nationwide trend due to a change in air force policy. While in the past few years a national quota of about 300 officers, selected mostly through direct commission was allotted for meteorology train ing, this year selections were re stricted to recent AFROTC grad uates or to qualified officers cur rently on active duty. "GOP Ambitions Threaten Relief’ AUSTIN — (A>) _ Republican political ambitions are threaten ing to wreck the Texas drouth relief program, Agriculture Com missioner John C. White charged Monday. ministration committeeman had to be “screened” by Jack Porter, GOP national committeeman fi’om ‘Nellie’ Beer Barrel Rolls Up, Pours Drink BIRDHAM, England — (H 5 ) Stand back, Edison. Steady there, Bell. Make way for Tamplin, and the beer barrel that comes when you call it. The inspiration came one sun ny afternoon. Alan Tamplin, a 50-year-old retired farmer, was sitting on the lawn of his country cottage here. He wanted a drink but didn’t want to get up to fetch it. “AND SO,” he related, “I in vented Nellie. Look.” He pressed a switch by the side of his deck chair . . . through the French windows of his cottage rolled an ale barrdl of gleaming wood, with “Nellie” painted on the side. It trundled down the garden path, took a sharp right turn by the roses, came to rest by Tamplin’s chair. Clipped in one end were some glasses. Nellie poured a pair of pints — she does everything but drink ’em — and when they were taken from her, dutifully rumbled, back to the cottage. Nellie works by radio, 465 megacycles on Tamplin’s dial. She really is two barrels. An outer one does the rolling and an inner one holds the beer, 448 imperial pints —or 560 U. S. pints. The barrel-in-a-barrel keeps the brew still and sweet wherever Nellie wanders. IN OTHER AND smaller com partments, Nellie holds soft drinks. She can even pour out a shandy— beer and ginger beer— if anybody wants it. Tamplin believes Nellie’s the “most important invention since the bottle opener.” “She took a year to bring to perfection. She goes at two speeds —fast and slow. She can take a steep hill, but hasn’t mastered stairs yet. Save Your Money! Save Your Clothes! CAMPUS CLEANERS Texas, White said. As the pro gram is now administered, White said, it is robbing farmers and ranchers of their dignity through enforcement of the pauper’s oath clause. (Mr. Porter was vacationing in Denver and was not available immediately for comment.) “THE PROGRAM ... is being used to build up Republican strength in Texas instead of pulling our agriculture through its biggest crisis in the past two decades,” White said. White said he was “fighting mad” aboift the situation and suggested that Texas “should refuse all federal participation in the program and take over the whole project” if quick changes are not made. Gov. Allan Shivei’s said he had turned the administration of the drouth program over to the com missioner when it was first stai'ted. “He is handling it, and I will be guided by his suggestion,” the governor said. “If he recommends that we stop it, I will ask the federal government to stop it. “I CERTAINLY believe the di-outh x’elief pi'ogram is a mat ter which should not have any politics mixed up in it, and we have tried to keep politics out of it.”* Ralph Yax-box-ough, candidate for goveraoi’, said at Dallas that White’s criticism of the di'outh relief progx*am has his “complete and total endorsement.” Yax-box-ough said a week’s tour of North Texas faim and ranch country “convinced me that White’s estimate of the tx-agic situation in to which our fanners and ranchei's ax-e being fox-ced by fi-enzied men who seek to keep and expand their hold on our state is an eminently correct one.” White said the major changes needed were: 1) Cut out the “eligibility fool ishness” under which many bona fide farmers and X’anchers in need are being denied aid and ai’e being subjected to shax-p questioning on their personal finances. 2) Put the program back into the hands of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Agency (the former Production and Mai’keting Administration) and re move it fi'om the Farm Home Ad ministration. MORE THAN 700 FHA coun ty committee appointees in this state had to be sci’eened and ap- pi’ovfed by Porter,” White said. Survivor Husband LOS ANGELES, Calif. — (A>) _ Mrs. Frances Parrish, one of the suivivors of a British aix-liner that was shot down off Hainan by Red Chinese fighter planes, said Mon day she has hopes that her hus band and two sons may still be alive. Mrs. Parish and her daughter, Valerie, 6, were rescued from the water. But there has been no woi’d of her husband, Leonard L. Parrish, and their two sons, Larry, 4 and Philip, 2, and they are px-e- sumed lost. The airliner was shot down July 23 off the Chinese coast. Mrs. Pai’i-ish, of Iowa Pai'k, Texas, and her daughter arxdved by plane Sunday night fi-om Hono lulu. The Texas \v‘oman; pale and Wesley Foundation Plans Fish-Fry The Wesley foundation of the A&M Methodist church will spon sor a fish fi-y Wednesday night at WaShington-on-the- Brazos. All students who wish to attend will meet at 5:30 p. m. Wednesday at the Wesley Foundation for transportation to the picnic site. The progi'am will include re- ci’eation, singing, and a devotional period. Bob Hagan is in charge of ai-i’angements for the affair. Leaders’ Course Taught At Park “The Role of the Junior Leader” will be taught by Dr. Glenn C. Dildine when the Texas Junior Leadex*ship Training laboratory gets in session at Bastrop State paxk, Aug. 23. Fifty adults and 115 4-H Club members will take part in the activities of the week. Dr. Kenneth Airsman of the education department, Ohio State univex-sity, Columbus, Ohio, will teach the gi'oup creative ai’ts. Bits of soil from every county will be brought to the laboratory by the 4-H Clubs to add to the nature study. John Twining and C. W. Simmons will be in charge of the gx-aup. Twining is with the Bux-eau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas, and Sim mons is farm forester for the Agricultural Extension sexvice.

Consequently, several of the uni versities around the country which participated in the past ai'e being di’opped and all others ai’e being assigned smaller gx-oups than be fore. It appears that A&M is re ceiving the smallest reduction. The Institute of Technology fa- voi's the policy of assigning indi vidual officers to the college of fix’st choice. Since A&M is the only college in the state participat ing in the program, the group ai’- riving in September is composed predominantly of Texans.

But Monday she gave a fepox-ter this account of the tragic expe rience: “Most of us were asleep, but the plane swerving awakened us. My husband had the two boys in a seat ahead of me. He saw what was happening and tuimed to say, “this is it.” A xx^an behind me was hit by a bullet. “The baby, Philip, was still in a seat. All of the rest of us wei’e on the floor. I was x-eaching for him when the plane hit the water. Something hit me on the back of the head, and I blacked out. “I came to, hearing the cries, ‘Mommy, Mommy.’ It was vValerie. She couldn’t swim, but she was threshing in the water. I x’eached for what I thought was a duffle bag. Later I found out it was a rolled up air matti'ess. I grabbed this and then reached for Valeide. “I didn’t see my husband or my sons. But it was near the Chinese shore. I still have hope.” Mrs. Paridsh and her daughter are staying here at the home of a fidend, Les Marsh, for a x'est before going on to Texas.

University of Oklahoma, Louisiana Polytechnic institute, University of Noi’th Car olina, Noi'th Carolina state, and Brigham Young university. The training consists mostly of meteoi*ology coui'ses given in the oceanogi'aphy depai'tment. Rela ted courses in mathematics or phy sics are added to round out the in dividual course of study. This coming year several Aggie undex-graduates will be taking their meteoi'ology courses along with the USAFIT group. Those undei’- gi'aduates who complete all their I'equii’ed coui’ses in conjunction with this pi’ogi'am will have met in one year all requirements in the major field for the BS degree in the meteoi'ology option. The fourteen USAFIT officers now nearing completion of their work at A&M will be classified as weather offieex-s and assigned to various air bases in the U. S. and overseas. After repoxting at their individual assignments, they will undei'go a ^xort period of faxnil- iarization with the weather affect ing the locality, the pai'ticular flight opei'ations, and the field op eration of the air weather servic^ Jean Miekclson 1 Back From G corgi; I Miss Jean Mickelson i'etui*ned to" College Station Saturday afterf spending the past five months in the Warm Springs Polio Founda tion at Waim Spi'ings, Geoi’gia. She arrived in Houston via Eastern Airlines and was met at the aiir- pox-t by her family. Jean contacted polio two years ago and lost the use of her anna and legs. While in Geoi’gia, she underwent a series of operations on her legs in order to give her greater stability. She can now walk with the use of bx-aces and crutches.
