Quarterhorse Loss
Puzzles Officials
Law officers are still puzzling
over the mysterious theft of a
valuable Quarterhorse filly here
late Monday night or early Tues
day morning of last week.
The animal, owned by Ed Hodges
of Bryan, was taken from a pen
near the Texas Aggie Rodeo
Arena. Hodges is a pre-veteri-
nary student at A&M University.
INVESTIGATING OFFICERS
are John Yeager, Brazos County
deputy sheriff; Texas Ranger O.
L. Luther; and Cullen Robinson,
investigator with the Texas and
Southwestern Cattle Raisers As
sociation.
The officers had been unable
to turn up any solid clues. How
ever, they believe that a small
stock- trailer stolen Monday night
in Bryan may have been used to
haul off the filly.
Bill Jackson, A&M Agricultural
Education Department graduate as
sistant and advisor to the A&M
Rodeo Club, said the filly original
ly came from the Mecom Ranches
near Houston.
HE SAID he estimates the ani
mal’s value at from $700 to $1,000
and she “has the makings of a
good roper.”
Jackson described the filly as a
3-year-old bright roan with a scar
on the right front pastern. Her
mane is grown out but the tail
is trimmed short.

Student Wives met Jan. 7.

A&M Prof Writes Biograph
A&M University history pro
fessor has written the first full
biography of Abel Parker Up
shur, the Virginia-born secretary
of state whose untimely death in
1844 affected the annexation of
Texas.
Associate Professor Claude H.
Hall’s “Abel Parker Upshur, Con
servative Virginian,” has been
published by the State Historical
Society of Wisconsin.
Texans are concerned primarily
with Secretary of State Upshur’s
ambitious efforts to bring Texas
into the Union, but Hall’s interest
is much broader.
HE DESCRIBES his study as
“representing an attempt to find
a partial answer to the question
which has intrigued many Virgin
ians for a long time. Why did
the Old Dominion, a leader in the
Revolution, in the establishment of
the federal government, and the
mother of Presidents, lose her in
fluence in the decades that fol
lowed the end of the Virginia
dynasty?”
There were social and economic
forces at work, but Hall believes
an important part of the explana
tion lies in the fact that Virginia’s
politicians had turned to the past,
while “The nation, by contrast,
looked confidently to the future.”
Upshur was bom in 1790 of
prominent, well-to-do parents, at
tended Yale and Princeton and
read law under William Wirt.
A THRIVING LAW practice
was established by Upshur, who
served in the Virginia legislature
and gained a state-wide reputation
for oratory, for extreme states-
rights views and for opposition to
any reform of the state constitu
tion. He also wrote many articles
and essays and one book.

for many years, Upshur also
served as Secretary of the Navy
before being named Secretary of
State by President John Tyler. As
Texas annexation negotiations
neared completion, Upshur and
several other high officials were
killed abroard the new sloop-of-
war Princeton by the explosion
of a large experimental gun.
“Virginia,” writes Hall, “had
lost a leader in her finest con
servative tradition; the nation had
lost a man whom fate had long
delayed placing on the national
stage only to remove him at the
moment when his latent talents had
at last the challenge necessary for
their full development.”

Texas draft boards have

gin classifying males immediately
After they register at age 18, Col.
Morris S. Schwartz, states Selec
tive Service director, said Wednes
day.
The program will begin with the
young men registering in Jan. 1964
and those who register thereafter,
Colonel Schwartz said.
Under past policy, most men
have been classified initially some
where between the ages of 18%
and 20, the state draft director
said.
These older men who have not
yet been classified initially will
have their classification speeded
up until this group is complete,
Col. Schwartz said.
The decision to begin classifying
18-year-olds immediately is the re
sult of President Johnson’s action
of Jan. 5, announcing that he was
directing the Director of Selective
Service and the Secretary of De
fense to examine all newly regis
tered men who are out of school
and otherwise available for service.
Colonel Schwartz emphasized
that no 18-year-olds would be sent
for armed forces pre - induction
examination currently, except vol
unteers and delinquents.
