many chapters to Texas sometimes
turbulent political scene. He also
coined some of its political language.
Political Leader rs Years.
The Ferguson "vest-pocket vote"
became for a time a byword In a
State where the tall, dark-clad lead
er was the big figure in politics for
quarter OF century.
me for Ma" and two Governors
for the price of one" were symbolic
keywords of his time.
Before age began to dim him
he was twice elected Governor;
impeached and removed from Office
in his second term; defeated as a
presidential nominee of a party he
organized; saw his wife twice elected
Governor and defeated three times,
the last time in 1910.
AS recently as 1910, his wife sought
Democratic nomination as Governor
but ran fourth in field paced by
w. Lee ODaniel.
After his disbarment from holding
office in 1924 by the Supreme Court
of Texas, Mr. Ferguson repeatedly
tried to remove the ban. He obtained
passage of.an amnesty act during his
wife'S first administration. The act
was repealed after she left Office.
Considered Comeback in l94l.
AS late as 194l he eyed a political
comeback. He made a gesture at
running for the Senate but finally
decided against it.
His first term as Governor has
been called exemplary. In 1917 the
Texas Senate, sitting as court
found him guilty of 10 articles OF
impeachment. He had been sus-
pended from the Office when the
House of Representatives the month
before voted to submit impeach-
ment articles.
Thereafter he lost three races in
succession. Then he conceived the
idea of running his wife Elected in
1924, she was the second woman
Governor in the Nation. The Fer
guson banner went down in 1926
but was revived later and Mrs. Fer
guson completed second two-year
term in 1885.

Wonders Of Wood Chemistry
Revealed at Exhibition Here
100 Samples Of New
Developments Shown
At industrial DispIuy

A bright future for wood products,
everything from wooden nuts and
bolts to laminated hulls for pleasure
boats, is foreseen by officials of the
American Forest Products Industries
who yesterday sponsored preview
OF the new age Of wood" in the
Metropolitan Club.
An exhibit containing nearly 100
samples of new developments in
wood and paper was shown to news
men and representatives of the
timber industry.
Much of the advance in wood is
attributed to scientists of the Forest
Products Laboratory, a division OF
the United States Forest Service at
Madison, Wis, officials said.
Included in the exhibit was min
iature wood sugar plant which
showed the process by which sugar
industrial alcohol and protein yeast
are made from wood. The new type
alcohol is just as potable as that
made from grain, but the process
still Is costly one, officials said.
Samples of an airplane propeller
and part of an aircraft carrier deck
were shown. They are being made
OF a new processed wood known
as "compreg." This Is a combina-
ton of the words "impregnation'
and compression" which describe
the process by which strips of wood
are treated with a chemical and
then subjected to high pressure.
Experts see big future in COM
preg" wood because it can be nodded
into various shapes and is not SUBJ
ject to warping or shrinking.

Laughlin Completes
Testimony; Jury May
Receive Case Today
BY NORMAN KAHL,
Star Stan Correspondent,

BALTIMORE, Sept. 22.-Testi-
mony in the case Of James j. Laugh
lin, Washington attorney. charged
with impeding justice, was COM
pleted in Federal Court shortly
before noon today.
Final arguments, which are to be
limited to an hour and a half for
each side, and Judge John Pauls
instructions to the jury were ex-
pected to take up most of the after
noon. The case probably will go to
the jury Immediately afterward.
Mr.. Laughlin himself was the last
witness to testify. He denied the
story of M. Edward Buckley, jr.,
another Washington attorney, who
yesterday said billiard Sanders, now
serving 20 years for his part in the
1941 HyattSville bank robbery. had
told Mr.. Laughlin Of his participa-
ton in the robbery.
Mr.. Laughlin said feeling Of hos
tility had developed between him
and Mr.. Buckley over certain events
in the mass sedition trial in Wash
ington, in which both attorneys were
members of the defense staff until
Mr.. Laughlin was removed for his
attempt to impeach Chief Justice
Edward C. Eicher of District Court
Four Others Testify.
Also testifying for Mr.. Laughlin
today were four others involved in
the sedition trial, who said that on
various occasions they had heard
Mr.. Buckley assert Mr.. Laughlin was
innocent.
Witnesses called by M Laughlin
were Albert w. billing and James
Powers, attorneys in the sedition
trial, and Ellis o. Jones, a defend
ant, and Robert Noble, whose case
was severed from that of the other
defendants several months ago.
All OF the witnesses said they
heard Mr.. Buckley, who is also an
attorney in the Sedition trial, protest
that the case against Mr.. Laughlin
was developed to embarrass him
and that there were no grounds for
the charges.
Mr.. Dilling said he asked Mr..
Buckley:
Then Laughlin hasn't anything
TO worry about?"
Hell, no." the witness quoted Mr..
Buckley as saying.
Declared Part Of Malice.
Mr.. Powers said he asked Mr.,
Buckley whether there was any,
thing to the case against Mr.. Laugh
lin. He said Mr.. Buckley replied:
No, it's just part of the same
malice we've experienced in de-
lending these defendants.
Mr.. Jones said that he heard Mr.
Buckley tell Mr.. Laughlin he was
lucky to have him as a witness
because he knew you had nothing to
do with that alibi."
The Government charges that
Sanders alibi that he was a visitor
at the State Prison Farm in Raj
ford, Fla, on September Is, l94l
the day of the robbery, was false
based on altered records, and that
Mr.. Laughlin was aware of this
when he introduced testimony and
affidavits to support it during the
trial of Sanders in January, 1912
Mr.. Laughlin has insisted that he
accepted Sanders story In good
faith.

up a bitter, bloody stand on the

The key to the situation is a
ridge called Bloody Nose" by the
marines. Today in broadcast from
Peleliu, William Ewing, Blue Net

quest Of that ridge in the Umurbro-

More than $4,000 Christmas pack
ages-four times the number han

have been mailed at the city post
Office in the first five days of the
September IS to October Is over
seas Christmas mail period, Post
master Vincent Burke said today.
Last year only about 10000 pack
ages had been handled during the
same period, he said. He attributed
the rise not only to increased num-
bers of servicemen overseas, but
also to promptness requested of
families by boys who did not get
their Christmas mail ready in time
last year.
OF the $4,000 items, more than
$4,000 have been sent to Army per-
sonnet through the postmaster at
