Cong. Teague Speaks at Gathering

Muster Tradition Termed As Moment of Reflection)

Hon. Olin E. Teague •. . . in outer space lies hope of permanent peace

At Saturday Banquet

Artist - Preacher To Address BSUBy GAYLE McNUTT

Executive News EditorJack Hamm, a preacher with a

unique method of reaching his con­gregation, will speak Saturday night before an expected 150 or more guests at the annual Bap­tist Student Union Banquet.

Hamm, a commercial art instruc­tor at Baylor University at Waco, does his preaching through free syndicated religious sketches and cartoons. The Waco artist spends several hundred dollars each week from his own pocketbook, and sometimes goes in debt, to supply the cartoons free to any newspaper in the world that will print them.

He has many takers. Current­ly his drawings appear in more than a thousand publications throughout the U.S., and through translations, in 30-odd foreign countries. Through this media, he reaches a public estimated at more than 30 million persons each week.

He has been interested in art since the age of 5 and turned his back on a promising career in commei'cial art to answer the call of the gospel. Combining his ar­tistic talent and his desire to spread God’s word, Hamm’s home- styled syndicate was born.

Hamm started the free service as a hobby. But the hobby grew into a job that is a day-and-night project, taking up three-quarters of his time. Each week he and his wife mail out two cartoons (in order to give editors a choice) to each publication on his long list of “subscribers.” In the past he

CS Resident Hurt In Collision Here

A car-truck collision at East Gate of College Station at 12:55 p.m. yesterday injured a College Station man, C. C. Rice of 1013 Walton' Dr.

Rice, di'iver of the car, was hit by a truck driven by an unidenti­fied Bryan Negro. The truck was loaded with cattle.

According to College Station Police Chief Lee Norwood, Rice was said by witnesses to have run a stop sign crossing Highway 6 and apparently did not see the truck approaching. The truck slammed into the right side of Rice’s car.

Only Rice was injured. He was taken immediately to Bryan Hos­pital by Callaway-Jones Ambu­lance. His condition is reported satisfactory.

has found it necessary to take part-time jobs such as illustrating comic strips to pay the tremendous costs of his “hobby.” Except for donations from friends he has car­ried the entire expense of mater­ials, production and postage, not counting the man-hours of labor on his own shoulders. He staunch­ly refuses all offers of pay for his service.

“For me it is God’s way,” states Hamm. “I believe that religion, not world-wide diplomacy, is the answer to today’s problems.”

The 43-year old artist has won international acclaim for both his art work and service to Amei’ica and the religious field and has Won several national awards for his work.

“Mi’. Hamm is without the most outstanding man in the field of religious art,” commented Rufus Spraberry, BSU director. “We are indeed fortunate to have him as our guest and speaker.”

The banquet will be held at 6:30 p.m. at Clayton’s Restaurant in Bryan. Tickets for the dinner are $2 and reservations may be made at the BSU Office at North Gate or by calling VI 6-6411 by noon Thursday, according to Ben Trot­ter, BSU president, who will em­cee the banquet program.

Tells of Man’s Last, Greatest Frontier

By BILL REED Battalion News Editor

The 57th annual Aggie Muster was termed as “a moment of re­flection, of prayer, of thanks­giving for the past, of hope in the future,” by the Hon. Olin E. Teague, ’32, member of U. S. Con­gress, as approximately 5,000 per­sons attended the program in G. Rollie White Coliseum yesterday.

“Today—on the 123rd anniver­sary of the winning of Texas in­dependence—we participate with Texas A&M men all over the world in a living tradition of loyalty and comradeship.

“And, also, today we dedicate ourselves to the challenging and essential task of making our own constructive contribution to the existing tradition which our fore­bearers have built,” the congi’ess- man said.

Speaking at the 57th year of gatherings to honor the heroes of the Battle of San Jacinto and to pay homage to all A&M men who have passed on, Cong. Teague de­scribed the United States’ conquest for peace.

He told of the bombing of Hii’o- shima and the development of the atom and more recently the de­velopment of missiles and outer space travel.

Outer space is “man’s last and greatest frontier,” he said in ex­plaining to the students that “it will be your generation’s task to win this last, essential frontier and hold it.” In it “lies the hope of total, permanent peace.”

“When I sat where you are now sitting, I thought I was facing a challenging future,” he said. “Com­pared to what you face, the chal­lenge of 1932 was mere child’s play.”

He told that it will no longer be sufficient for an educated man to conform, from now on he must pei’form. There are certain in­tangibles that he told that ai’e taught better in the U.S. than any­where else on earth.

“I refer to those intangibles as self-reliance, imagination, loyalty, coui-age, daring, industry and hon­or. These have been the proud characteristics of A&M men in the past.”

He cited that Gen. Randolph Pate, Commandant of the Marine Corps, told him recently that “in all his experience he had never had an officer from A&M who was not a top officer.”

In closing, Cong. Teague told the gathering to “hold fast to your tradition, hold fast to what you have been taught, and hold fast to what you believe,” and “if the world is to be saved from dissolu­tion, it will be saved by you and by others like you in every corner of the free world.”

Jack Hamm, noted religious cartoonist, who sends his work free each week to more than 1,000 publications in the United States and foreign countries, displays one of his larger drawing samples. He will speak Saturday night at the Baptist Student Union Banquet.

Army Inspector Tearn Due Here Tomorrow

Annual Inspection Set All Day Friday

News of the WorldBy The Associated Press

War In Germany “Militarily Hopeless”MOSCOW—The Soviet Union warned West Germany

Tuesday that its position as a nuclear arsenal of the West in any future war would be “militarily hopeless.”

The note re-emphasized that West Germany is laying itself open to dangerous consequences by arming with U. S.- supplied nuclear weapons, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko said.

★ ★ ★Starkweather Goes to Chair May 22

LINCOLN, Neb.—Nebraska’s pardon board refused Tuesday to commute killer Charles Starkweather’s death sentence.

It set May 22 as the new date for his death in the elec­tric chair.

The decision followed quickly after a hearing at which the 20-year-old redhead told the board, he “just wasn’t repre­sented right” by counsel at his trial last year.

★ ★ ★Dalai Lama Resides in Exile

MUSSOORIE, India—The Dalai Lama took up residence in exile Tuesday in a 32-room mansion 75 miles south of the snow-covered Himalayan border of Tibet.

The Tibetan god-king ended his trip by foot, donkey, pony, car and by train five weeks after fleeing from Lahasa, his Communist-occupied capital.

Scores of security police and plainclothes men dotted the 55-acre grounds of his new home behind a still incomplete barbed wire fence as the Dalai Lama arrived with his usual sunny smile.

Senators Refuse Teacher RaisesAUSTIN (TP)—Senators balked

Tuesday at considering passage of the 123 million dollar a year Hale- Aikin school package without hav­ing any money to pay for it.

The school improvement pro­gram, centering on an $800 a year teacher pay raise, may be lost for the regular session unless a tax bill and final appropriations budget are whipped through be­fore the session dies in three weeks.

Sen. A. M. Aikin Jr. of Paris got only a 16-15 vote on his mo­tion to lay out his bill, SB5. Two thirds of the members voting, or 21 votes were necessary.

Aikin admitted the vote “was a bad setback, but I’m not going to to give up. I may try to bring it up again if the opportunity pre­sents itself. I’ll do all I can to pass it.”

Before the vote, he told his col­leagues he would submit an amend­ment that the bill could not be­come effective until a financing method has been approved.

Harrington Named ToEducationBoard

President M* T. Harrington and Speaker Waggoner Carr of the Texas House of Representatives, have been appointed to committees of the Southern Regional Educa­tion Board, Chairman Cecil H. Un­derwood, governor of West Vir­ginia, announced today.

President Harrington has been named to the Finance Committee and Speaker Carr to the board’s Executive Committee.

The SREB was established in 1949 through legislative action of the Southern states for the pur­pose of making better use of high­er education resources of the states through cooperation across state lines. Its members are the governors of 16 Southern states and four persons appointed by each governor.

Members of the board from Texas in addition to Speaker Carr and President Harrington are Gov­ernor Price Daniel; Dr. E. B. Evans, president of Prairie View A&M College; and Dr. Ralph Green, director of the Commission on Higher Education.

Sen. R. A. Weinert, Senate dean and backstage voice of the con­servatives, led the charge in a rare flood attack. He said “the timing of trying to bring it up now is utterly wrong. We don’t even have a tax bill over here. . .no one knows how much that tax bill is going to raise.”

“The little land and home own­ers can’t take it any more. If you were at home looking at the fam­ily budget you would figure you had this much credit and could afford to spend this much money. This is going at it just backwards. We ai’e going to spend it and then how are we going to find the mon­ey to pay for it?” Weinert said.

Sen. Hubert Hudson of Browns­ville objected to the inclusion of all recommendations of the Hale- Aikin school study committee in one bill.

Last Bomarc Series

Snark ICBM Logs Trip Over AtlanticCAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (A5)—

A Snark intercontinental guided missile logged an apparently high­ly successful round trip yesterday after being fired by a crack mili­tary crew.

The fiery launching was one of the final tune-ups for the 69-foot Northrop missile that is expected to be assigned to combat troops within the next two. months.

Sources said the predawn shot ran like clockwork as the sleek missile cruised close to 1,000 miles over the Atlantic, spun around and alighted back on the Cape’s land­ing strip several hours later.

The same missile completed a similar flight several months ago.

Later, a supersonic Bomarc in­terceptor missile blazed aloft to seek out and “kill” a simulated enemy target over, the Atlantic. It was the final launching of the present Bomarc series from the Cape.

The sleek Boeing missile, which has made more than 50 flights from the Cape, was aimed at a

pilotless drone plane cruising some 200 miles out to sea.

Future Bomarc tests from the Cape will be made with a super version of the missile, capable of twice the present range. The first flight may come late this spring.

The regular Bomarc, dubbed IM99A, will be run through fur­ther tests at a new launching base on Santa Rosa Island of the Flor­ida Gulf Coast before it becomes operational.

The new Bomarc, called Model B, will be powered by a solid-fuel booster. It will carry an improved target seeker and will be capable of ranges in excess of 400 miles.

The Snark, which can carry a deadly nuclear payload more than 5,000 miles, used special landing skids to drop back safely on the Cape strip.

The missile was fired by crew­men of the Strategic Air Com­mand’s 556th Guided Missile Squadron, which has been train­ing with the Snark for the past year.

House Director Speaks Tonight In Ballroom

Dr. Charles S. Sheldon, present technical director of the House of Representatives Committee on Sci­ence and Astronautics, will speak on “The Exploi’ation of Space: AChallenge to America” tonight at 8 p.m. in the Memorial Student Center Ballroom.

Sheldon has helped prepare many congressional space reports and studies.

A graduate of the University of Washington, Sheldon also received M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Har­vard. At various times he has taught course in economics; air, rail, highway and water transpor­tation; foreign trade; and related subjects at the University of Washington.

He served intermittently in the U. S. Navy from 1943-1952. He first served as logistics officer of the Oakland Naval Supply Depot and on the staff of the Naval In­telligence School.

Since 1955 he has had assign­ments with the Joint Economic Committee of Congress as staff economist for foreign economic policy, defense essentiality and United States-Soviet comparisons.

Among other things, he has studied at the California Institute of Technology, White Sands Prov­ing Grounds and the atomic de­fense, biological and chemical war­fare schools at Fort McClellan, Kan.

CS Kiwanians Host Secretary Group

“Give your secretary your best and she will give you her best,” Mrs. Sue Cox, president of the local chapter of the National Sec­retaries Assn., told College Station Kiwanians yesterday.

In observing National Secretarr ies Week, the Kiwanis Club hosted 28 secretaries of club members at their Tuesday luncheon. In ac­cordance, the title of Mrs. Cox’s speech was “You and Your Sec­retary.”

“A secretary appreciates a good ‘boss’ just as a good ‘boss’ appre­ciates a good secx*etary,” Mrs. Cox said. “If she knows her work is appreciated she will go out of her way to see that she does a better job than is expected of her.”

She gave a summary of the characteristics that are required to become a successful secretary, as well as those necessary in an employer to get the best work from his secretary.

In closing, Mrs. Cox urged all Kiwanians not to “let the world pass their secretaries by” but to help them in bettering themselves by allocating time and money to their secretaries for extra training and membership in the NS A, which is dedicated to raising standards and efficiency of secretarial work.
