 Weapon Unknown

ANGLETON, Tex, Dec. 14.- A notorious prisoner was slain in the mess hall of the Retrieve Prison Farm near here last night, decapi- lated by a person or persons un- known and with an unfound weap- on.
 O. B. Ellis, prison system gener- al manager, said details of the slaying of Clarence William Red wine were sketchy.
 He said Redwine was decapitated while inmates of the farm were .n the mess hall for the evening meal
 He was one of our most notor- lous inmates" Ellis said. His rec ord for making trouble is among the top half-dozen for the entire system.'
 Redwine was serving five terms ranging from five to l5 years for robbery by assault.
 Ellis said there was so much confusion in the mess hall that it was impossible to learn full details of the staying immediately.
 All we know is that his head was cut off by an unknown in- mate and that the type of weapon used also is unknown
 z. E. Harrelson, assistant war den at Retrieve, said Redwine's head was found lying on a table about two feet from his body.

 OFF TODAY
Five-Year Contract Be- tween Musicians, Record
 Companies Is Signed

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-tR-The members of James c. Petrillo's American Federation of Musicians will end their 11la month record ing ban this afternoon.
 The signing of a new five-year contract between the union and the phonograph record companles will be followed immediately by the first recording sessions since January l for the AFL instrument talists.
 The formality will put into effect an agreement reached last October out held in abeyance pending a government okay on the legality of a union welfare fund financed by royalties on records.
 The government gave it's bless ings last night. Attorney General Tom c. Clark and Solicitor William 5. Tyson of the Labor Department said the welfare fund, to be. ad- ministered hy an impartial trustee, was legal under the Taft-Hartley Act.
 The $25,000 a year trustee will Toe Samuel R. Rosenbaum. The fund is expected to produce s2,- 100000 a year and will be used to hire jobless musicians to give free concerts and for other union well fare purposes.

 Meanwhile, Cal Snyder, chief lobbyist for the National Assocla tion of Real Estate Boards, IS boasting that the lobby will defeat President Truman's housing pro- gram again-by at least 30 votes in the House.

you can teach teen-age boys and
girls the mechanics of operating an
automobile declares H. G. Kemper,
president of Lumbermens Mutual

driving responsibility are formed
long before then" Kemper cautions
parents to be especially careful
when driving with children in their
