(Continued from Page 1)
perimental research in controlled
thermonuclear energy as part of
the world’s first and largest pri
vately-financed program in the use
of nuclear fusion for the genera
tion of power and energy.
Nuclear fusion is the process re
sponsible for the tremendous pow
er of the hydrogen bomb and the
energy in the sun and the stars.
The research being conducted at
San Diego may eventually lead to
the harnessing of the hydrogen
bomb for peaceful purposes, in
cluding the generation of electric
power.
“Aid and Foster Knowledge”
In announcing the awarding of
the scholarships, Cunningham said,
“One of the purposes of the Texas
Atomic Energy Research Founda
tion is to aid and foster scientific
knowledge in Texas. We feel that
these fellowships will serve this
purpose by bringing into the state
some of the knowledge and experi
ence being developed by scientists
at General Atomic.”
Paid Regular Stipends
Recipients of the fellowships
will be paid a regular stipend while
working at the General Atomic
laboratory during the summer and
each plans to continue his studies
at a Texas college or university.
Robert G. Cochran, head of the
Department of Nuclear Engineer
ing at A&lil, said the flexible pro
gram offered students in nuclear
engineering the particular course
of study they want to follow. He
added that Walker is interested in
going into research in thermonu
clear dynamics, and that the sum
mer’s work should give him more
background for his field.
Fehsenfeld, the University of
Texas student, is studying for a
Ph.D. in the field of gaseous elec
tronics and the physics of metasta
ble systems. He is from Troup and
received his bachelor of science de

CIGARETTE S
FIRST WEEK SUCCESS
NEW YORK CP)—The first week
of racing ab Aqueduct’s 33 million
dollar track proved a success. The
average daily attendance was 31,-
700. The' first week drew 189,598
fans who wagered slightly more
than 16 million dollars.
If I
The teams held their first meet
ings Tuesday night. One man froni
each outfit is eligible for the team.
The Army team will be the ma
roons for this year’s clash and will
be coached by Wayne Lawrence
and Dave Corson, both Aggie bas
ketball players last season. The
Air Force team—the white team—
will be coached by Kelly Chapman
and Wilmer Cox, also basketball
standbys on the Aggie team.
Lack of Equipment
I ack of football equipment this
year caused the Student Senate,
who is sponoring the event to
change it to a basketball game.
They decided not to have the game
in December because the month
was so full of activity, according
to Ben Cook, Senate Issues Com
mittee chairman.
Then in a meeting in February,
the groups discussed the possibil
ity of making the annual event a
basketball game instead of foot
ball. As the plans grew, the Sen
ate group searched for a date for
the game, and finally arrived at
the April 9 date.
Sekerka Coordinates
Senate President Jake Sekerka
coordinated with Col. Joe E. Davis,
commandant, and he arranged for
drill to be held from 7 until 8:30,
holding the 8:30 to 10 a.m. open
for the game.
Proceeds from the game will go
to a Senate-sponsored scholarship,
according to Sekerka. He said a
good turnout would be needed to
clear the $500 needed for the
scholarship fund.
Tickets for the game will be 50
cents each, and plans for sale of
the tickets either through com
pany commanders or at another
central place will be announced
later, according to Sekerka.

HALE CENTER, Texas (A*)—A
living legend, J. Frank Norfleet,
still has zest for this world, al
though he’s 95 and ready to argue
he’s 100.
Norfleet, an amateur, became a
sensational manhunter more than
three decades ago after five swin
dlers took $45,000 from him in
Dallas.
The West Texas rancher saw all
five placed in prison. And his
activities sent at least 61 other
criminals to the penitentiary.
“I’m 100 years of age, never
mind what the papers say,” he
shouted to Emmet Collins of The
Houston Post during a recent in
terview.
‘You’re 95,” his wife shouted to
penetrate his deafness. “He’s al
ways wanted to live to be 100, so
he says he’s 100. He’s 95. I’m 89.”
Argues About Age
Norfleet heard more than ex
pected.
“I’m 10 years older than you by
three days,” he declared loudly.
His saga began in Dallas in
1919.
“I worked my way up,” said
Norfleet in the interview. “I was a
ranch hand, then a foreman. I
saved my money. I began to do
a little trading to make more
money. And I was able to get
more. I later got my own ranch,
with a wonderful home, then I de
cided to expand my ranch. That
was why I went to Dallas.”
At the time he was 54.
Dallas Trip
Norfleet journeyed to Dallas to
sell f a piece of land and buy a
larger section.
He met one of the swindlers,
Reno Hamlin, who roped him into
a stock market swindle, using the
other four men. He handed them
$20,000 payment on a sure thing,
then demanded $25,000 more before
they would cash in his winnings,
which he expected to be $160,000.
The man took the money and
disappeared.
Little Help
Norfleet received only nominal
help at the time from officers.
His first clue, a name in a book,
led him to San Antonio. From
there, the trail led him over most
of the United States.
In California, he saw two mem
bers of the ring placed in jail. They
were Charles Gerber and E. J.
Ward.
One Caught
Authorities caught Hamlin in
Oklahoma City. But Georgia had
priority on trying him, and he
went to prison there.
The ringleader, Joe Furey, still
eluded the rancher. Finally he re
ceived a tip that Furey was in
Jacksonville, Fla.
While Norfleet was bringing
Furey back to Texas, the confi
dence man crashed out of the
window of the train and jumped
on a switch engine going back to
Jacksonville. But officers were
alerted and soon picked up the
escapee.
Furey was tried in Fort Worth
and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Only W. B. Spencer remained at
large.
Vigil in Montreal
Norfleet collared him on a
wintry street in Montreal but
Spencer broke away. He finally
was found in a Salt Lake City jail
on a narcotics charge. After 'jle
served time, Norfleet had him
brought back to Fort Worth for
trial for the swindling and Spence:
drew another eight years.
Little Left
There is little left for Norfleet
now during his aging years except
to remember those exciting times.
He would like to watch quarter
horse races more. He owns some
good ones.
But the memories are still
strong.
He shakes his head and a little
smile creases his mouth.
“I did have some fun,” he says.
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Powerful streams of water from
fire hoses churned into a group of
several hundred young Texas Ne
groes.
A thousand others chanting the
Lord’s Prater paraded through
the streets to Louisiana^ 34-story
state capitol at Batdn Rouge for a
protest assembly.
Those were major developments
Wednesday in the unfolding cam
paign of the South’s Negro youth
to obtain service at lunch counters
traditionally reserved for white
patrons.
The fire hoses went into play at
Marshall, a town of 30,000 in the
East Texas oil and farming re
gion, to break up an assemblage
at the courthouse square protest
ing lunch counter incidents which
had brought arrests.
The incidents started as Negroes
tried for the third time in a week
to patronize lunch counters. Po
lice made 55 arrests for unlawful
assembly, then took into custody
200 more who gathered at the
courthouse singing the “Star Span
gled Banner,” “God Bless Amer
ica” and similar songs.
Crowd Re-forms
The crowd re-formed faster than
it could be thinned by arrests, at
pne time pressing forward to the
courthouse steps only to be warned
by the district attorney. When
officers started freeing those
who had been taken into custody
and they joined the 1 crowd outside,
fireman turned loose the hoses.
Ordpr was restored.
Shortly after the 1,000 students
of Southern University, Negro
state college and. supporters staged
their rally on the capitol grounds
at Baton Rouge, the university
announced the ousting of 18 from
its rolls.
Disciplinary Action
Dr. Martin L. Harvey, univer
sity dean, said the disciplinary ac
tion was taken for “violating uni
versity regulations, relating to in
subordination, and conduct unbe
coming to Southern University stu
dents.”
The march on the capitol byr the
crowd singing “What a Friend We-
Have in Jesus” was to protest seg-.
regation practices which had , .re
sulted in the jailing of several
Negro students after Louisiana’s
first sitdown at a white lunch-,
counter.
Other Stories
Other developments nationwide
in the sitdown story:
1. Issuance in New York of an
advisory document, for the guid-,
ance of the Episcopal Church’s
three million members, expressing
general sympathy with the sit-in.
movement.
2. A 42-15 vote of the California.
Legislature to commend the dem-
monstrators in the South.
3. A news conference statement
by President Eisenhower of con
fidence that eventually America’s!
conscience will give equal rights
to all. He declined to pass judg
ment on stores which sell Negroes"
goods in some departments but"
•bar them from lunch counters.
4. A plea by New Orleans seg
regationists for a boycott of ma
jor league baseball games there
April 9-10 because seating will be'
integrated.
