Between Oveta and her husband, onetime (1917-21) governor of Texas, William Pettus Hobby, there is a deep bond which distances and careers do not seem to disturb. During the war, when Oveta was in Washington, she talked to Will in Houston every night. (Once, when an operator asked him if his long-distance call was necessary. Will replied '"Course it is. I gotta talk to Oveta, don't I?") Last month, when Will celebrated his 75th birthday, Oveta left her Washington desk in time to catch a 10 a.m. plane. She arrived in Houston...
...what it spends on giving a student four years of education. ¶Lincoln University near Oxford, Pa., the first Negro institution in the world to award collegiate degrees, decided on a shift of policy.

...gypsy knife thrower, and 2) a dashing nobleman who espouses (circa 1830) the cause of Corsican freedom against French Tyrant Raymond Burr. It seems that the nobleman and the gypsy are Siamese twins. Though severed by surgery, they are still tied to each other by a strange spiritual bond. Before long, the twins join forces against the tyrant who finds himself seeing double. Additional complications set in when twin No. 1 (the gypsy) develops a more than spiritual interest in the beautiful wife (Paula Raymond) of twin No. 2. With its wealth of ambushes, ambuscades, assaults and assassinations, The Bandits...
Collective Security. In Chapel Hill, N.C., Bruce Strowd, who celebrated the wartime victory at Stalingrad by naming Joseph Stalin co-owner of a $25 war bond and mailing it to the Kremlin, was assured by U.S. Treasury officials that the bond had not been cashed and that, in this case, he would not have to furnish the co-owner's death certificate in order to collect the money...
