Thursday AFTERNOON on one of Hal

was just well started down tho hill

declare Nine. Terrell to have per-

able TO meet this obligation. Later
he said the semi-annual installment

convertible bonds, was passed.
Vice Chancellor Backes set Sept

permanent receiver should not be
appointed and the company declared
