The Pakistan Students Associa
tion at Texas A&M celebrated
Pakistan Day recently with a
gala cultural evening at the Me
morial Student Center ballroom.
More than 150 persons joined
in the activities Tuesday which
included folk songs, dances and
a film showing Pakistanis per
forming arts and craft work.
Dr. M. T. Harrington, coordina
tor of international programs at
A&M, praised Pakistan for mak
ing amazing economic strides
since winning independence in
1947.
As guest speaker for the eve
ning, Dr. Harrington noted that
hundreds of Pakistan’s best stu
dents have completed advanced
degrees at Texas A&M since a
mutual education program was
begun in 1954.
“The best part of the mutual
assistance program,” Harrington
commented, “is getting acquaint
ed with you, your country and
your customs. Many lasting
friendships have been formed in
this program.”
M. Arshad Ali, president of the
Pakistan Students Association at
A&M, was master of ceremonies
for the evening. He voiced spe
cial thanks to teachers and
friends who have assisted Pakis
tan students and their families.

Brenham
(Continued from page 1)
inside most of the day. Teachers,
who were normally allowed to
leave during their off periods,
were required to remain on the
grounds all day. Classes were
dismissed at 2:30 and, as the
children left the schools, every
one breathed a little easier.
The relief was only temporary.
The schools will continue on the
same basis for the remainder of
the week and law enforcement of
ficers will continue their watch—
working eight hours on and eight
hours off.
THAT SAME DAY, the Grand
Jury heard the testimony of a
surprise witness who no one
was able to identify. The only
information that could be learn
ed about the man was that he
was from out-of-town and had
volunteered his testimony. He
was rushed in and out of the
jury room before newsmen had
a chance to ask questions or take
pictures.
The grand jury recessed at
12:15 p.m. and ordered the dis
trict attorney to file an injunc
tion against Mrs. Eva Grace
Long, the alleged operator of the
house, to prohibit her from con
tinuing her alleged operations
there.
This was not the end. Until
now, the threats made by the
mysterious callers had not ma
terialized.
THEN EARLY Wednesday
morning, a fire destroyed the
Chappel Hill Electric Co. in
Chappell Hill just nine miles
south of Brenham on the Hous
ton highway. The owner of the
electric company is C. M. Hurst,
a member of the Washington
County Grand Jury.
First witnesses on the scene
said they started to move a com
pany truck which was parked in
front of the building but the
truck “reeked with gasoline.”
Texas Rangers were sent to the
scene and an arson investigator
from the state fire marshall’s
office in Austin was dispatched
to the scene.
People of the area are asking
themselves, “What is behind all
this?” The house in Brenham
has been there for years and
every schoolboy within 200 miles
has grown up with the common
knowledge of such houses in
Brenham, Sealy and La Grange.
If the houses have been there
this long, why is the investiga
tion just now beginning? And
why such violent repercussions ?
“YOU HAVE four or five of
these houses in Houston,” said
Washington County District At
torney James Kershaw in defense
of the town, “Why don’t the
members of the press make such
a big thing about them?”
In the first place, prostitu
tion in Texas is a misdemeanor
and grand jury’s don’t normally
investigate misdemeanors, al
though they have the power to
investigate anything they like. In
addition, grand jury members in
Harris County are not normally
threatened in the course of an
investigation.
“I think we’ve really hit some
thing here,” said the Rev. Gilpin.
“There is more to this than meets
the eye.”
“If that mess can cause some
thing like this, we gotta clean
it out out — that’s what it
amounts to,” was the comment
of one of the school teachers,
when asked if he thought the
Grand Jury should call off the
investigation.
THE PEOPLE of Brenham are
afraid, but they are not cowards.
The people are proud of their
town and they want it cleaned
up. The investigation will con
tinue and the citizens are willing
to cooperate. One local grocer
has started a reward fund for
the arrest and conviction of the
callers. He has contributed $100
to start the fund. Others are
sure to join soon.
Some of the questions which re
main unanswered are natural
ones.
“What else is going on out
there ? ”
“Who is behind this?”
“Why has this been allowed
to go on for so many years?”
And, of course, the most fear
ed question of all: “What will
the callers do next?”
