Triple Killings
Arouse Citizens
OF Texarkana

TeXarkana, Texas.-All Tex
arkana is hushed in dread. There
is a phantom slayer at large who
has eluded officers since early
in March. Some time ago, two
youths were slain. On April IA,
two other youths were slain in
the northern part of the city near
Spring Lake Park. On Friday
night May 3 at about $50 p. m,
a man and his wife We're shot
through the window of bed
room; the husband was killed,
and the wife is in the hospital
in a serious condition. In each
of the sIayings, the victim was
shot in the head. To date no one
has been linked with the crimes,
notwithstanding that there is a
total reward of more than $4,000
offered for the apprehension of
the killers in the first two trag-
edies, and that more than 40
officers of the four state area are
trying to track them down. All
of the victims were white. The
of these desperate
slayers demands the cooperation
of all groups and makes it i'm
perative that every innocent man
should have proof of his where
abouts for twenty-four hours
every day

the council yesterday, pointed out
that the city has a surplr- Oh
housing and a serious unemploy
ment problem.
In their efforts to meet the en-
ployment crisis, the council and
the city's industrial leaders have
diligently sought new industries
and other products to provide
employment, and efforts expended
have been extremely successful
in that more than IL manufactur-
ing firms have expressed their
desires to set up plants here, the
resolution declared.
The Carver company's plans for
constructing it's plant r COM
pleted, and most of the materials
necessary have been acquired, the
council reported.
The resolution concluded with
the statement that the city's
economic conditions comparatively
require that sufficient materials
be released for the construction
of such industrial plants" and
consequent CPA approval of the
Carver petition is necessary.

Beetle Traps Offered
To County Residents

japanese beetle traps will be avail
able to Montgomery County home
owners beginning tomorrow at the
Silver Spring and Bethesda County
Buildings in the rear of the old high
school in Rockville.
Montgomery County Agricultural
Agent o. w. Anderson said the
traps may be obtained from am.
to pm. daily. He added that they
are rented for 20 cents for two
years under a $1,000 appropriation
Of which the county, State and Fed
eral Government each pays one
third.
Mr.. Anderson emphasized that
two traps are sufficient to care for
the average home. He explained
that additional traps will attract
beetles from the surrounding area
and nullify the effectiveness of the
bait.
The agricultural agent said traps
also will be set out in various sec
tions of the county to ascertain the
beetle population in each area. If
a large number of the insects is
found in a particular section, spore
dust, bacteria which destroys the
beetle grubs, will be placed in the
soil.

Bradley Asks Veterans
10 Buy Bonds TO Fight
Initiation Seen Abroad

Gen. Omar N. Bradley, veterans
administrator, today urged veterans
to buy Savings Bonds to prevent
the United States from succumbing
to the imitation they have seen
abroad.
Adding his voice to the number
of prominent Americans who have
joined the current campaign to
stimulate S-Bond sales in. the fight
against imitation, Gen. Bradley de.
clared:
"Veterans-better than any one
else-knew what bonds meant dur
ing the war. They are home and no
longer fighting because those bonds
backed the attack to help them
win.
To-day. when veterans need a
lift to get started again, you'll back
their future in backing your own
with the purchase of United States
Savings Bonds. I know that vet
Grams with jobs will buy their own.
They've seen imitation at work
abroad
Savings will not only cement
their future. They will help hold
prices back today. You will find
veterans buying bonds. They know
good thing when they see it,"
The Nationwide publicity CAM
paign, which began June 6, is
quotaless and unaccompanied by
the organized solicitation of war
days. The drive ends July 4.

Smolens Writing Expose
Of Musical |Rocketeers'
WoterGote Conductor
For Tonight Finds
D. c. Free of Tuint

Washington's musicians and those
who direct their destinies appear
assured of gentle treatment in a
book man who knows them well
is writing.
The author is Alexander Smallens,
here as guest conductor for tonight's
and subsequent Water Gate per-
formances of the National SYM
phoney Orchestra.
Russian Mr.. Slnallens saws
ne Is writing "a sort of auto
biographical story of music as I've
heard it." 1t ought to be a pretty
comprehensive work, if IS years in
music, during which he has con-
Quoted most of the leading orches-
tras of the Nation, means ANYTHING
To Tell Everything"
THE book will tell everything"
Mr.. Smallens promises, adding sig
nificantly that his journeys about
the world of music have taught him
there is seamy side even to CLASH
cal and other topflight performances.
Too many of the managers and
others in control of music in this
country act like racketeers," he says,
you'll have to read the book to find
out who I mean. But don't worry,
Washington doesn't fit that category
at ALL"
This is Mr.. Smallens' sixth year
as guest conductor in Washington,
and he says he fell in love" with
the National Symphony "at first
sight" Washington is away above
the average as musical community,
he will tell you.
We think the Water Gate barge
is fine for concerts, but would like
to see better indoor auditorium
than Constitution Hall, which, he
declares. has poor acoustic qualities.
U. S. Tops in Talent.
Mr.. SmallenS, though foreign
bern, is and considers himself an
American. The attitude is reflected
in his opinion of the world of music
Of today-he puts this country at
the top of the talent ladder.
The two greatest contemporary
composers alive, he will tell you, are
Aaron Sopland of New York and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1946-06-19

William Schuman, head of the
Juilliard School of Music there. AS
for his favorite composer of all
time Mozart is the man without
peer.
Mr.. Smallens gives himself few
of the airs frequently associated
with leading conductors. His out
standing eccentricity seems to be
that he conducts rehearsals in a
sweatshirt, and even that he does
for purely practical reasons.
Devours Mysteries.
A family man with 10-year-old
son and a comfortable home in
Stamford, Conn, he carries his S
feet IL inches and 100 pounds well
at 81 years of age He smokes a
pipe and reads every detective
story ever written" for relaxation.
Mr.. Smallens conducted the open
ing Water Gate concert last Sun
day. Besides tonight's performance
there he also is scheduled to con-
duct the National Symphony Fri
day night, and will return for SUBJ
sequent performances July 81 and
July 26.
His expose" of the music world
won't be published for some time,
but that's all right with Mr..
Smallens, for, as he says, he'll prob
ably have to retire when it does
come out
