President Truman and the Army
Air Forces today conferred the Le-
gion of Merit on a comely British
WAAF for putting the "evil eye" on
the Luftwaffe.
The Nazis never knew that the
clear eyes of Flight Officer Constance
Badington-Smith were at least two
good reasons why bombs early in
the war began to pin-point their
most secret factories.
The English girls quick, accurate
Interpretation of reconnaissance
photographs was credited with set
ting back the Nazis' flying bomb as
sault on Great Britain and possibly
the United States by at least six
months.
Miss Badington- Smith, who came
to Washington after We day to help
interpret pictures Of Jap war plants,
received the award this morning
from Maj. Gen. Fred L. Anderson,
assistant Chief of Staff. Her cita-
ton was signed by President Truman.
While serving In England, Miss
Smith recognized microscopic
smudge on an aerial print as a
weapon then unknown to the Allies.
Counter measures taken as a re-
suit, according to American ord
nance experts, delayed Nazi produc-
tion plans which called for vi
bombardment of the American coast
by November of 1914.
The daughter of the late Sir
Henry Badington- Smith, director of
the Bank of England, rendered in
valuable service to the 9th Air Force
based on the British Isles by sup
plying information which enabled
bombardment fleets to pick out the
Luftwaffe's most vital production
centers, the citation said. The girl
came to be regarded as an author
ity on photo Interpretation.
At 80 Miss Badington- Smith is

From a lOg-cab1n frontier town on a sleepy bayou, Houston has grown to its present position of industrial leadership in the South. The Port of Houston Is the third largest in the nation.
 Into the cityS commerce flows oil from Americas greatest fields, cattle come from the great domains of the s:ate, cotton and rice are a part of the city's business fabric and through the industrial life of Houston runs sulphur's saffron thread from the worlds richest mines. A friendly city with TO- mantle past; a bustling city alive to modern comforts and commercial needs, Houston IS the metropolis of the Southwest.
 On June 13, 1902, . bill calling for an appropriation of $1,OOO,OO0 for the development of the Houston Ship Channel from Galveston to Harrisburg for a uniform depth of 20 feet was laid on the desk of President Theodore Roosevelt. The bill was signed and thus was be- gun the development that has given Houston one of the nations greatest ports.
 As a result of this program of ship channel improvement, Houston is now the second port in the na- tion in deep sea tonnage and third in the Nation in total tonnage.
 Large industrial establishments dot the channel.
 The leading industrial city of the Southwest, Houston today has an imposing skyline. Population fig ures tell Houston'S phenomenal growth. Three years after being founded there were 2000 inhabitants
