fered financial aid up to 50 per cent <jf the total allowable con­struction cost.

According to the agreement, A&M will at least match the FFA $8,000 sum with local funds, there­by'bringing the total of $16,000 for this airport work.

The money offered by the Fed­eral Aviation Agency, along with the local funds, will be used to rehabilitate the runway lights on the east-west runway and install taxi-way turn off signs and mark­ing.

FAA District Airport Engineer A. E. Dyatt, who has supervised the planning of this project at his district airport office in Fort Worth, commented that Easter­wood Field with its improved facili­ties, will do much to increase safety and encourage the air traveler to realize the progressive- ness of College Station.”

perimental research in controlled thermonuclear energy as part of the world’s first and largest pri­vately-financed program in the use of nuclear fusion for the genera­tion of power and energy.

Nuclear fusion is the process re­sponsible for the tremendous pow­er of the hydrogen bomb and the energy in the sun and the stars. The research being conducted at San Diego may eventually lead to the harnessing of the hydrogen bomb for peaceful purposes, in­cluding the generation of electric power.

“Aid and Foster Knowledge”In announcing the awarding of

the scholarships, Cunningham said, “One of the purposes of the Texas Atomic Energy Research Founda­tion is to aid and foster scientific knowledge in Texas. We feel that these fellowships will serve this purpose by bringing into the state some of the knowledge and experi­ence being developed by scientists at General Atomic.”

Paid Regular StipendsRecipients of the fellowships

will be paid a regular stipend while working at the General Atomic laboratory during the summer and each plans to continue his studies at a Texas college or university.

Robert G. Cochran, head of the Department of Nuclear Engineer­ing at A&lil, said the flexible pro­gram offered students in nuclear engineering the particular course of study they want to follow. He added that Walker is interested in going into research in thermonu­clear dynamics, and that the sum­mer’s work should give him more background for his field.

Fehsenfeld, the University of Texas student, is studying for a Ph.D. in the field of gaseous elec­tronics and the physics of metasta­ble systems. He is from Troup and received his bachelor of science de­gree from Rice Institute in 1957.

Ramer, a graduate of the Uni­versity of Houston, is working there now as a graduate student research assistant in physics. He is a member of Phi Kappa Phi.

The teams held their first meet­ings Tuesday night. One man froni each outfit is eligible for the team.

The Army team will be the ma­roons for this year’s clash and will be coached by Wayne Lawrence and Dave Corson, both Aggie bas­ketball players last season. The Air Force team—the white team— will be coached by Kelly Chapman and Wilmer Cox, also basketball standbys on the Aggie team.

Lack of Equipment I ack of football equipment this

year caused the Student Senate, who is sponoring the event to change it to a basketball game. They decided not to have the game in December because the month was so full of activity, according to Ben Cook, Senate Issues Com­mittee chairman.

Then in a meeting in February, the groups discussed the possibil­ity of making the annual event a basketball game instead of foot­ball. As the plans grew, the Sen­ate group searched for a date for the game, and finally arrived at the April 9 date.

Sekerka Coordinates Senate President Jake Sekerka

coordinated with Col. Joe E. Davis, commandant, and he arranged for drill to be held from 7 until 8:30, holding the 8:30 to 10 a.m. open for the game.

Proceeds from the game will go to a Senate-sponsored scholarship, according to Sekerka. He said a good turnout would be needed to clear the $500 needed for the scholarship fund.

Tickets for the game will be 50 cents each, and plans for sale of the tickets either through com­pany commanders or at another central place will be announced later, according to Sekerka.

Eleanor Puts ■ Value on Race In Wisconsin Vote

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah UP)— Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt doesn’t think winning the Wisconsin pres­idential primary next week will assure the Democratic nomination for either Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass) or Sen. Hubert Humph­rey ,(D-Minn).

“I shouldn’t think it would be considered decisive,” she told newsmen Wednesday night.

She said Adlai Stevenson and possible Rep. Chester Bowles (D- Conn) are the only men who could break a deadlock at the Democratic National Convention. She said al­though Stevenson says he isn’t a candidate for the nomination, “he might have to take it.”

HALE CENTER, Texas (A*)—A living legend, J. Frank Norfleet, still has zest for this world, al­though he’s 95 and ready to argue he’s 100.

Norfleet, an amateur, became a sensational manhunter more than three decades ago after five swin­dlers took $45,000 from him in Dallas.

The West Texas rancher saw all five placed in prison. And his activities sent at least 61 other criminals to the penitentiary.

“I’m 100 years of age, never mind what the papers say,” he shouted to Emmet Collins of The Houston Post during a recent in­terview.

‘You’re 95,” his wife shouted to penetrate his deafness. “He’s al­ways wanted to live to be 100, so he says he’s 100. He’s 95. I’m 89.”

Argues About AgeNorfleet heard more than ex­

pected.“I’m 10 years older than you by

three days,” he declared loudly.His saga began in Dallas in

1919.“I worked my way up,” said

Norfleet in the interview. “I was a ranch hand, then a foreman. I saved my money. I began to do a little trading to make more money. And I was able to get more. I later got my own ranch, with a wonderful home, then I de­cided to expand my ranch. That was why I went to Dallas.”

At the time he was 54.Dallas Trip

Norfleet journeyed to Dallas to sell fa piece of land and buy a larger section.

He met one of the swindlers, Reno Hamlin, who roped him into a stock market swindle, using the other four men. He handed them $20,000 payment on a sure thing, then demanded $25,000 more before they would cash in his winnings, which he expected to be $160,000.

The man took the money and disappeared.

Little HelpNorfleet received only nominal

help at the time from officers.His first clue, a name in a book,

led him to San Antonio. From there, the trail led him over most of the United States.

In California, he saw two mem­bers of the ring placed in jail. They were Charles Gerber and E. J. Ward.

One CaughtAuthorities caught Hamlin in

Oklahoma City. But Georgia had priority on trying him, and he went to prison there.

The ringleader, Joe Furey, still eluded the rancher. Finally he re­ceived a tip that Furey was in Jacksonville, Fla.

While Norfleet was bringing Furey back to Texas, the confi­dence man crashed out of the window of the train and jumped on a switch engine going back to Jacksonville. But officers were alerted and soon picked up the escapee.

Furey was tried in Fort Worth and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Only W. B. Spencer remained at large.

Vigil in MontrealNorfleet collared him on a

wintry street in Montreal but Spencer broke away. He finally was found in a Salt Lake City jail on a narcotics charge. After 'jle served time, Norfleet had him brought back to Fort Worth for trial for the swindling and Spence: drew another eight years.

Little LeftThere is little left for Norfleet

now during his aging years except to remember those exciting times. He would like to watch quarter horse races more. He owns some good ones.

But the memories are still strong.

He shakes his head and a little smile creases his mouth.

“I did have some fun,” he says.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Powerful streams of water from

fire hoses churned into a group of several hundred young Texas Ne­groes.

A thousand others chanting the Lord’s Prater paraded through the streets to Louisiana^ 34-story state capitol at Batdn Rouge for a protest assembly.

Those were major developments Wednesday in the unfolding cam­paign of the South’s Negro youth to obtain service at lunch counters traditionally reserved for white patrons.

The fire hoses went into play at Marshall, a town of 30,000 in the East Texas oil and farming re­gion, to break up an assemblage at the courthouse square protest­ing lunch counter incidents which had brought arrests.

The incidents started as Negroes tried for the third time in a week to patronize lunch counters. Po­lice made 55 arrests for unlawful assembly, then took into custody 200 more who gathered at the courthouse singing the “Star Span­gled Banner,” “God Bless Amer­ica” and similar songs.

Crowd Re-forms The crowd re-formed faster than

it could be thinned by arrests, at pne time pressing forward to the courthouse steps only to be warned by the district attorney. When officers started freeing those who had been taken into custody and they joined the1 crowd outside, fireman turned loose the hoses. Ordpr was restored.

Shortly after the 1,000 students of Southern University, Negro state college and. supporters staged their rally on the capitol grounds at Baton Rouge, the university announced the ousting of 18 from its rolls.

Disciplinary Action Dr. Martin L. Harvey, univer­

sity dean, said the disciplinary ac­tion was taken for “violating uni­

versity regulations, relating to in­subordination, and conduct unbe­coming to Southern University stu­dents.”

The march on the capitol byr the crowd singing “What a Friend We- Have in Jesus” was to protest seg-. regation practices which had , .re­sulted in the jailing of several Negro students after Louisiana’s first sitdown at a white lunch-, counter.

Other StoriesOther developments nationwide

in the sitdown story:1. Issuance in New York of an

advisory document, for the guid-, ance of the Episcopal Church’s three million members, expressing general sympathy with the sit-in. movement.

2. A 42-15 vote of the California. Legislature to commend the dem- monstrators in the South.

3. A news conference statement by President Eisenhower of con­fidence that eventually America’s! conscience will give equal rights to all. He declined to pass judg­ment on stores which sell Negroes" goods in some departments but" •bar them from lunch counters.

4. A plea by New Orleans seg­regationists for a boycott of ma­jor league baseball games there April 9-10 because seating will be' integrated.
