an end to the need of the agen-
cies in the War Fund.-" Mr.. Kha-
vat said. Instead, hundreds of
thousands of our young men
must remain at military posts
in the Pacific and in Europe for
months to come. Thousands must
remain in hospitals and thous-
ands must continue to man ships.
The fund is set up to serve these
military men and the need will
contiue until every service flag
comes down in our homes"
The Community Chest in Pas
cagoula is designed as a clearing
house to unite agencies in the

cational, philanthropic or civic

Robert Gipson Is
Captured In Pass
Christiun Swumps

Robert Gipson, who about two
weeks ago escaped from the Jack
son County Jail where he was
held on charges of breaking and
entering, was captured last week
IN the swamplands of Pass Chris
| tian Isles after a four-day search
by Harrison county officials.
The search in Harrison county
began Sunday morning after a
store was reported entered in
Pineville the previous night. The
arrest was made by Constable
Guy Allen and County Highway
Safety Patrolman Lester Carriga
who searched the woods on horse
lack and finally succeeded in APP
pretending the l6-year-old boy.
Gipson led officers to a cache
Of hidden articles missing in a
series of reported robberies.
Charles Ferrer of the Pas
cagoula city police department
questioned Gipson in the Gulf
port jail and the boy told how
he had broken out of Jail in
Pascasoaha through heleiz fhe
roof by using a rope made Of
blankets, the officer said. He
told the policeman that he got
food off boats at the Cole Tow
ing Company and eluded pur-
surers only when he slipped into
the river and swan away in the
darkness. He also said he had
slept under a wharf" or ware
house at the Cole company for
several nights.
The boy was arrested a few
months ago on the highway lead
ing from Pascagoula to Mobile
carrying a suitcase of small
change believed to have been
stolen from the juke box at the
Comus. He is also charged with
having broken into the Cole
Towing Company before his cap
ture on that occasion. He told
officers he had escaped from the
county farm in Harrison county.
Hears Bloodhounds
The youth told arresting Off
GERS he had heard the baying of
bloodhounds put on his trail last
Tuesday night in the woods but
that he had evaded them by
crossing streams by footlog. He
said later he entered the resi-
dence of o. w. Townsend in Pine
vile, took some blankets and re-
turned to the woods and spent
the night.
Gipson told officers that after
breaking out of the Jackson
County jail he went as far as Port
Arthur. Tex, before returning to
the Mississippi Coast. He said he
went to the Harrison county penal
farm where he stole a pistol and
$500, later discarding the pistol
in a stream. He obtained food
by breaking into the dairy at
the farm and into a Pineville
store and he said he would lead
officers to the place where a sad
die, repeatedly stolen, was left
and also to where he dropped an
cupboard motor into the bayou.
Officials said after Gipson has
stood trial in Gulfport his return
to face charges here will be re-
quested.

Mississippi. our county and the nation is launching its

the next few months. More than ever they must bring q

and in hospitals. More than ever they must give food,
clothing and encouragement to people In areas still shaking
from the rigors OF war.
We are under obligation to show olEappreciation, our
gratefulness to those who gave their best In order to win
victory. We show this when we support the National War

Kenna Believes
State Should Seek
Big Oil Refineries

A Mississippi oil man told Pas
cagoula and Moss Point Rotari-
ans at their regular meetings this
week that the state faces a great
industrial future if far-sighted
productive and conservation
methods prevail in the develop
ment of the expanding oil fields.
The speaker, E. d. Kenna, ex-
ecutive vices-president Of the
Mississippi-Alabama division of
the Mid-C Continent Oil and Gas
Association, said that only indus
tr~ialization offers Mississippi the
chance of climbing from the bot
tom OF the list of per capita
income.
He pointed out that in the
ecutive vice-president of the
ansas at least half Of the economy
OF these states is directly based
on the oil industry, and he said
that Mississippi's vast proven re-
sources offer such an opportunity
to our own people if u leaders
pursue a sound course for the de-
velopment of productive and re-
filming capacity, and for the es-
tablishment of new industries
that this seource of power make
possible.
Sixteen Fields
Mr. Kenna, a former member
of the state highway commits
sion, said Mississippi's crude
production had expanded from
the drilling of the first well in
1889 to a total of Is producing
fields lying in 80 of the 81 coun-
ties.
Mississippi's proven reserves
are 700 million barrels of oil and
two trillion feet of natural gas,
he said, opening prospects for
the state to become n of the
leading producers in the nation
if competent and far-sighted de-
velopment methods are followed.
He favored the policies out
lined in the "balance-agricul-
ure-with-industry" movement,
seeking to establish sound indus
try in Mississippi along with a
policy of official concern for the
conservation and sensible devel-
opment of natural resources rath-
er than wanton abuse and waste.
During the wild times of UNI
controlled oil booms, he said, ii
has sometimes happened that oil
wells in this country have fallen
to forty percent of their possible
production, wasting the Other
portion of their potential through
reckless methods.
Refinery On Coast
If the oil industry is to bring
maximum benefits to the state,
he said, such methods must be
ruled out and the states natural
resources must be safeguarded by
sensible regulations, and influ-
enced by a sound policy calling
for the development of refineries
at home along with the produc-
ton of crude.
Mr.. Kenna said that he hoped
that a great refining and shipping
industry would develop on the
gull coast in our time.
1t is only through the full real
ization of this great natural re-
that the present deplora-
Bile per capita income OF $484,
the lowest in the nation, can be
raised, he said.
Guests at the Moss Point meet
ing were J. d. Seaman, Bobby
Dixon, w. w. Barker, Melvin
Eley, Rufus Naples and Major
Rowan Thomas, author of the
book Born in Battle.

New York, Feb. 6-(UP)-Thomas A. Edison, who was born 98 years ago, once said that genius was one per cent inspiration and 99 per cent perspiration-and that definition of genius still holds true today, accord ing to one of hos contemporaries and admirers.
 Edison was right" George E. Folk, patent adviser for the National Assn. of Manufacturers, said today in paying tribute to the wizard of electricity" who was born Feb. Il, 1847.
 Inventions are the product of genius only if we consider genius the infinite capacity for taking pains," MT. Folk said. Most inven- tions are the result of step-by step progress over a long period of time and Edison knew this better than almost ayone else"
 20 Years to Develop Radio
 MT. Folk, who was general patent attorney for the American Tele- phone and Telegraph Go. for more than 20 years and author of the book, Patents and Industrial Prog ress," called attention to the fact that the modern radio industry was born as a result of the precipitation and infinite pains" of Lee DeForesi and others on the Edison effect
 This "Edison effect" he said, "to- day is recognized as the first obser- vation of electronics on which all radio, telcvision and radar apparatus are based"
 Edison observed the electronic mystery in experimenting with in- candescent electric lamps. MT. Folk pointed out, but ti took 20 years oi

experimentation to develop it into the invention of DeForest's first radio tube. As further modern evil dence of the truth in Edison's state ment that genius, insofar as inven- tion is concerned at least, depends on hard work, MT. Folk cited seceral of the greatest inventions of recent decades.
 33,O0O Tests on Gas
 "High-octane gasoline, one of the secrets of success of American air. craft is the result of 30 years of research" he said. More than B, ,OCO separate compounds were tried before the right one was found.
 "Nylon came into being only after team of 230 chemists and engi- neers perspired for many months perfecting a basic idea which Will liam Hume CarotherS had developed over a period of eight years.
 "The first television patents were granted more than 20 years ago, and scientists, inventors and engi- neers have been perspiring over the idea ever since, bringing it closer to perfection.
 "Today's successful synthetic rub Der is an outgrowth of experiments started during World War I.
 Flashes of genius are rare, but almost all great inventions are the result of patient experimentation"
 The United States has led the world in industrial progress, MT. Folk asserted, "because it has re- warded such experimentation by granting patent protection. Edison was the worlds most prolific in- ventor, and more patents were granted to him than have ever been granted to anyone else"

Goldberg Not Finished Yet

Washington, Feb. 9 - U.Pl - Great investigations from little itches grow, or:
 If Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia had mt sent cop with an itchy nose to watch an auction sale in New York these things, from one to six, prob ably wouldn't have happened:
 l. The cop wouldn't have had to scratch himself.
 2. The eagle-eyed auctioneer, Jake Goldberg, wouldn't have thought this scratching of the smeller was a signal that the officer had bought 10000 feet of federal surplus sewer pipe.
 3. The policeman wouldn't have got into a fight with Goldberg over what did he want with carload of secondhand pipe?
 4. This argument wouldn't have been reported to the mayor.
 5. His honor wouldn't have called Goldberg rogue. 6. The committee of Senator James Mead of New York wouldn't have hauled the white haired, black eyebrowed Goldberg down to Wash ington to defend himself.
 Senator's" he croaked in voice made hoarse by g years of auctions, T am not a criminal. I am not a rogue.'
 He went on to identify himself as long time dealer in toilet seats, in- cluding the mother -of-pearl variety. Eventually he got back to that itchy officer.
 T had an awful time getting the bidders to call their names" he said. Now about that policeman scratch ing himself. An auctioneer has got to be on his toes. Some people scratch Goldberg demonstrated and some people look down Che looked doWn and some jerk their thumbs Che jerked his thumb to signal their bids.
 You got to be quick as flash. My making mistake and selling to policeman who itches is no dis credit to me"
 Goldberg had been in the com- mittee room for a week, hearing himself and his auction of surplus plumbing and electrical supplies de- nounced.
 Gentlemen" he said. T have been looking at you. don't think you're here to cruelty me"
 The Senators assured him they weren't. Next thing Goldberg knew he was talking about cocktails for customers and nylons for lady. The books showed that $245O had beer. spent for cocktails by the firm, but Goldberg said one of his part ners must have bought 'em. He said he hadn't spent that much money for cocktails in his lifetime.
 'Nylon stockings ar very valu- able" interrupted Sen. Homer Fer guson of Michigan. Have you ever bought and nylons?"
 Goldberg said he never had? changed his mind, and said he may have given pair to stenographer at the American Radiator Go.
 Wasn't it two pairs; cost $l2?" insisted Ferguson, reading from Goldberg'S records.
 Maybe it was" said Goldberg.
 Does your wife have access to your bookS?"
 "She does not" snapped Goldberg.
 He took time out then to wipe his brow with his handkerchief. The Senators told him to be back We'd nesday morning for some more of the same.
 Wearily he walked out. And if that cop hadn't had itchy nose back in New York.
