Preston Smith to a “victory celebration” by Ar kansas Razorback fans after the Texas-Arkansas football game Saturday at Austin. Bumpers said in a telegram to Smith that he is sure a Razor- back victory will be forthcoming. The governor-elect’s telegram was in reply to an invitation by Smith for Bumpers and his wife to join the Smiths in Austin. We Really Need USED BOOKS And Are Prepared To Pay For Them Get the most for the least at loupots ‘Where Aggies Trade’ Aggies work out the kinks By CLIFFORD BROYLES The Texas Aggies had first- game fever Tuesday night and, despite their opening loss to Ste phen F. Austin, things still are looking up for a good year with Aggie basketball. Whatever it is uncertain but it always takes a little time to get the kinks out and the Aggies just happened to run into a good SFA team for their opener. The Lumberjacks, meanwhile, were in their third game of the season and they, too, had their opening-game problems only a week ago when they lost to the Henderson State College Reddies 88-83, at Arkadelphia, Ark., in overtime. The Aggies turned the ball over 19 times in the contest but han dled the Lumberjacks’ press with crisp passing for most of the first half. But when the cold shooting streak hit with about 12 minutes left in the game, the Aggies hit a snag and the Lumberjacks— with a little extra playing time and a little more sure of them selves—took advantage and road the wings of that streak to the win. Another decisive factor was the board work. In the first half the Aggies won the battle of the backboards 19-11 but were badly beaten in the second half, espe cially on the offensive end. “We didn’t do anything that can’t be corrected,” Coach Shelby Metcalf said Wednesday after having a chance to analyze films of the game. “I just hope the fans will give us another chance and I think we’ll show’um what we can do Friday night against East Tex as.” Metcalf said he still is looking for the right combination after the game, as he played 11 of the 12 men suited up. He played 10 of those in the first half and just about every body had some bright spots. It showed that this Aggie team will have a lot of good depth later in the season, when it is needed. Friday night the Aggies will be out to grab win number one after getting their machinery tested Tuesday against Stephen F. Austin. That machinery showed signs of raggedness, but a little playing time Friday against East Texas and Monday against the Universi ty of Texas at Arlington should go a long way toward fixing that.

After thirty years ormore of neglect, there's no question our cities need help. But what kind of help? Will another thousand sanitation men be the answer to dirty streets? Will doubling the police force finally bring crime under control? Can new rent laws force landlords to provide more low- income housing? All the old, obvious ideas have been tried. What's needed are new ideas and new technological developments. General Electric has been working on the problems of cities for a number of years now. And in that time we've come up with some things we think will help. Crime You might not expect a company like General Electric to be doing anything about crime. But the fact is, GE has been working with the Syracuse police, looking for a new approach to the problem. Our scientists there came up with a whole new concept in police organization called “Crime Control Teams." In their first year, these teams were credited with cutting crime 62% in one large, representative neighborhood of Syracuse. And the concept has since been adopted by a number of other cities. “gadgets' to help people. We don't think our home products are at all unnecessary or frivolous. If they seem that way, it's because people have forgotten how much they rely on them. To wash dishes. To wash clothes. To keep warm. To keep cool. To entertain. And on and on. New ideas for the cities and new “gadgets" for the home both have the same end in mind, after all. To help people live better. Garbage General Electric research has come up with what is probably the most revolutionary idea in garbage disposal in years. Our scientists are working toward a process by which a special strain of bacteria converts garbage into a high-protein food for cattle. The process is still something of a “laboratory trick," but it could be in the pilot-plant stage in as little as three years. Housing To meet the critical need for new low-income housing. General Electric is participating in the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Operation Breakthrough. While GE has no intention of going into commercial home building, we do hope to supply the builder-developer with new products needed to improve his efficiency. We now have several design prototypes of advanced, modular homes that can be assembled in a matter of hours. These are just a few of the new ideas General Electric has come up with to help cities at the same time that we continue to improve Why are we running this ad? We're running this ad, and others like it, to tell you the things General Electric isdoing to solve the problems of man and his environment today. The problems concern us because they concern you. We're a business and you are potential customers and employees. But there's another, more important reason. These problems will affect the future of this country and this planet. We have a stake in that future. As businessmen. And, simply, as people. We invite your comments. Please write to General Electric, 5701_exington Ave., New York, N.Y. 10022.
