Stokes has published a number of articles on George Bernard Shaw and his time, the articles ap pearing in journals both in the United States and in England. The latest article is entitled “Sidney Carlyle Cockerell: 1867- 1962” and is an assessment of Sir Sydney Cockerell’s contribution to literary and artistic works of the late nineteenth and early twen tieth centuries. Cockerell was pri vate secretary to William Morris, an English poet and artist who died in 1896. From 1908 to 1937, Cockerell was director of the Fitz- william Museum at Cambridge University in England. He was an intimate friend of Shaw’s for many years. Cockerell died at his home in England this year. Stokes was invited by the edi tor of “The Shaw Review” to con tribute the article because of his familiarity with Cockerell’s work, gained while Stokes was organiz ing and cataloging the Hanley Collection at the University of Texas in 1960-61. ★★★ Two A&M engineers will pre sent papers at the fourth world meeting of the International Road Federation in Madrid, Spain.

Fair Closes Concession After Mishap DALLAS hP)—The State Fair of Texas closed its pleasure boat ride concession Wednesday as police launched an investigation of the cause of an explosion and fire on one of the scale model Mississippi River paddlewheel boats. Of the 19 persons burned in the fire, 12 remained in hospitals. Only one of them was in critical condition, however. She was Mrs. Ruth Heidrick, 70, of Corona, Calif., who suffered severe burns and shock. Some of the victims were children. The explosion occurred about 7:20 p.m. Tuesday night a few minutes after the small boat, with 32 fair goers aboard, moved out into the Fair Park Lagoon. W. T. Heron of Dallas said he, his wife and their 3-year-old daughter, Robbin, were sitting near the center of the boat. “I SAW A flash of fire, grabbed my little girl and jumped over board,” he said. “I fought to keep her head above water. I tried to stand up and went under. It was over my head. “I held on to my little girl and the edge of the boat. AH I could see was fire. “My wife jumped a few minutes later screaming that her legs were burned real bad.” Some of the other passengers jumped into the water and were helped ashore by persons who waded out into the lagoon. Others of the passengers stayed on board until the craft floated to the shore on the north side 'of the lagoon. Battalion Fire Chief R. G. Rus sell said the 25-foot boat had been repaired in the afternoon and in vestigators were going on the theory that a collection of gaso line fumes in the engine housing had been ignited by a spark.
