Texas, L.S.U. Renew Rivalry

AUSTIN, Tex., Nov. 5. (UP)—Football relations between the University of Texas and the Louisiana State University, who haven't met on the gridiron in six years, were cemented again today. Athletic director Dana X. Bible of Texas announced that LSU would play Texas Sept. 18, 1948, to open the Longhorns' home season and dedicate Texas' enlarged 66,000-seat Memorial Stadium.

Rent Chief Held in Bribery

TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 5. (UP)—Halford J. Thompson, St. Petersburg area rent director for two years, today was held under $2,500 bond after an alleged accomplice admitted details of a rent-lowering bribery scheme. Paul K. Hershey, an employe in the rent office, told U. S. Commissioner Paul Pinkerton that he opened negotiations with an agent after Thompson suggested "that gentleman might be good for a pull-down." He said the "gentleman" was acting for Mrs. Mary Stocker, an apartment house owner.

Party Leader Flees Hungary

BUDAPEST, Nov. —5. (UP)—The Communist dominated government announced today that its only remaining major opponent, Zoltan Pfeiffer, 47-year-old leader of the Hungarian Independence Party, fled the country last night. A warrant already had been issued for Pfeiffer's arrest. It was to have been served as soon as his parliamentary immunity—he was a deputy—could be taken away. The government had opened court action against the Independence party to make away the 49 seats in the national assembly it won in the last August 31 elections.

Truman Asked to Glades 'Party'

EVERGLADES CITY, Fla., Nov. 5 (UP)—A little girl dropped a letter to President Truman in the mail today, asking hom to come to the substitute for her birthday party. Barbara Lee Henderson will be 15 years old on Dec. 6, the date set for dedication ceremonies here of the Everglades National Park. Mr. Truman has said he will make the trip unless national business interferes. Barbara Lee told the chief executive that she hoped to see him, but that she wasn't having her usual party this year. Her mother felt that the expected 20,000 visitors in this town of 66 would provide enough excitement for the day.

Negro Family Held in Slaying

AMERICUS, Ga., Nov. 5. (UP)—A Negro woman and her five sons were lodged in a secret jail today after the rob-slaying of a Schley county white farmer. The victim, John Ed Strafford, died from three separate skull fractures, any one of which doctors said could have killed him. State highway Patrolman W. T. Beauchamp said the Negro woman, Rose Lee Ingram, had admitted beating Strafford over the head with a rifle butt during an argument. Jackson Ingram, one of the sons, was held on suspicion of robbery charges after a wallet identified as Strafford's was found buried.

PROUD TITLE

Mrs. Jones, a London lady, was proudly discussing her new American son-in-law with a neighbor. "My Gwendolyn has done very well for herself, I must stay," she boasted. "H'after all, 'tisn't every day a young girl marries an American lord." "An American lord? Why, I ain't ever 'eard of such a thing in all my born days!" "I wouldn't tell you a lie," said Mrs. Jones. "Ain't you ever 'eard of the American 'ousing shortage? That's why Gwendolyn's husband is so hoity-toity. He's a real American lord—a landlord!" so I may practice law. I have also had quite a bit of experience in college dramatics, so I might try acting." He paused for a moment, deep in thought. "Then on the other hand," he continued, "I may be a teakettle."

NOT QUITE CURED

An asylum patient who had been certified cured was saying good-bye to the director of the institution. "And what are you going to do when you go out into the world?" asked the director. "Well," said the patient, "I have passed my bar examinations,

KEEPING SHARP

When the train stopped at a small southern station, the city traveler sauntered out and gazed curiously at a lean animal with scraggy bristles rubbing itself against a tree. "What do you call that?" he called curiously to a darkie hoeing the field. "Razorback hawg, sah." "Why is he rubbing himself against the tree?" inquired the traveler. "Jes' stropping hisself, sah; jes' stropping hisself!"

QUITE A STUNT

The river had volunteered to guide the urban visitor on a fishing trip. Bewildered at amateurish angling tactics of his charge, the youth ventured advice, but was told promptly that his counsel was not needed. Despite his strange methods, the visitor finally hooked a small one. Now, he gazed at his catch in glee. As the fish wriggled at the end of the line. "What will I do now, boy?" he asked. "Well, sir," was the slow reply, "you've done so many amazin' tings, I think you can jes' climb up the pole an' git 'im."

MAKING ITS POINT

There is a lady operating a boarding house down in Alabama who has a simple, silent, but most effective method of collecting money from delinquent boarders. A new arrival at this lady's establishment noticed at supper that one of the boarders had one fork too many beside his plate, and seemed to be acutely embarrassed over the circumstance. "Why is he so disturbed over the extra fork?" the new boarder whispered to the gentleman seated beside him. "Oh, that's how the landlady collects past due board bills," was the laughing explanation. "When she puts that extra implement beside a plate it simply means 'fork over'."

GENERALLY THAT WAY

A prospective bride and bridegroom were discussing their plans. He—After we are married, I will give you to understand that I am going to wear the pants of the family. She—That is correct. But I will tell you which pair to wear.

NOT WORTH MUCH

The customer at the filling station asked for a change of oil. "What do you want—in bulk or sealed cans?" the attendant asked. "What's the difference?" "No difference in oil," the attendant explained. "The bulk is for people who take my word for the quality and the cans for those who question my word." "Your word is as good as mine," the customer said thoughtfully. As the attendant started to procure the oil from the bulk supply, the customer spoke up quickly, "I said your word is just as good as mine. Give me that can oil."

WHERE IT BELONGED

The weather was warm, and Pat decided to shave on the back porch. Mrs. Casey, across the way, observed this. "Pat," she called, "sure an' Oi see ye air shavin' outside." "Sure," he responded, "an did ye think Oi was fur-lined?"

POOR AIM

Lady—You old drunken beast. If I were in your condition, I'd shoot myself. Bum—Lady, if you wash in my condition, you'd mish.

WEATHER TO ORDER

Madam—Have you been touching the barometer, Mary? Mary—Yes'm. It's my night out so I set it for fine.
