 EARLY TODAY
Churns in from Gulf, Strikes al Industry-Rilh
 Coasf-Riee Damaged

HOUSTON, Texas, Oct. 4-tR-A hurricane which came screeching out of the Gulf smashed into this Texas metropolis early today and surprised everyone by doing little damage.
 A few plate-g,ass store windows were eroken as the wind swept in behind torrential rains which flooded streets and underpasses.
 Debris was whipped down streets and trees bent horizontal as 90- mile-an-hou winds whipped the city, whose 500,000 and more resi- dents make it Texas largest
 HURRICANE STRIKES
 The hurricane churned in from the Gulf late last night, striking first at the industry-rich coast between Matagorda and Freeport, Tex, about 60 miles south of here.

ALASKA EAGLE NOW 'IN zoo AT SEATTLE;
 kIDDIES GREET PET

SEATTLE, Oct. 4.-R-A three month-old Alaskan eagle, pet o1 three Seattle youngsters, has arriv- ed here aboard the Alaska Motor ship Square Knot.
 His new roost will be at Wood land Park Zoo.
 On hand to greet their bird, Tommy, were Mary Stockwell, 10, and her brothers, Bobby, nine, and Eddy, five. They are the children of MT. and Mrs. Malcolm F. Stock we'll
 The children got the bald eagle at Todd, Alaska, this summer. In fact, they saved his life by talking their father, superintendent of Todd Packing Company, into paying the bounty asked for the bird, then a nestling, by a native fisherman.
 At that time, Tommy was too young to forage for himself. Mary, Bobby and Eddy put him in cage, caught fish for him and cared for him until their return to Seattle in August with their mother to pre- pare for school.
 But before leaving Alaska, they wanted to make sure they'd see Tommy again. Mary wrote the Seattle Park Department, offering the pet to the zoo. The offer was accepted

ARCTIC CHILDREN STOP IN JUNEAU
 ON WAY TO SCHOOL

The girls wore colorful parka. and mukluks or rubber boots; tht boys wore jackets and shoepacs. They stood outside the Gastineau Hotel waiting for the time wher the Alaska Coastal plane woulc take off and carry them to Sitka and school at Mount Edgecumbe. All except two were from Barrow and Wainwright and were quite shy. The girls giggled in the sun- shine and the boys stood back and grinned.
 It was the first time they'd been in the land of forests, and, Barry Botfish from Wainwright shyly said he thought the trees were fine very pretty"
 His brother, Wayne Bctfish, l6, a ninth grader, said the weather is warmer here. He said it's still warm north of the Arctic Circle but there's been some snow.
 Most of them enjoyed the flight to Juneau. But Kate Smith of Bar row got sick on the plane. Betty Lanayakik of Barrow admitted, amid the giggles of her friends, that she got sick, too.
 A tourist lined them up against the outside wall of Harry Races drugstore and, as they blinked in the sunshine, took a picture of the girls in their parkas.
 In the picture were Betty Bot fish, Esther Ahlalook and Hanna Anashaguk of Wainwright and An na Sekearook of Barrow.
 Thomas Sovalik and Shelton Se- gevan of Wainwright watched with interest They explained that the long gray fur around the neck ot the parkas is from wolves, and the dark fur is from wolverines.
 Nelly Larsen, 19, who lives in Nome, and Freda Anderson, IA, from Fairbanks, were the more so- phisticated members of the. party. They didn't wear parkas and Freda had been to the coast before. They stood little apart.
 Nelly said she found Southeast Alaska something different"
 They asked what time the plane would take off, and when they found they still had a half-hour,
