Angry Hornets. Beulah's freshest fury was expended on the dun-colored delta of the Rio Grande and the tiny ports that dot the Gulf Coast. Port Isabel (pop. 4,000), a shrimp-fishing village, was smashed by 150 m.p.h. winds; only a lighthouse and a newly built brick bank were left undamaged, along with Captain G. D. Kennedy, who with his wife and his handmade 60-ft. shrimp boat rode out the storm with diesel engines and good seamanship...

Last week Perkins submitted his resignation to Delaware's board of trustees, announced that in September he will become president of Dun & Bradstreet, Inc., where he will serve under Chairman and Chief Executive J.

The mainstay of the 126-year-old firm is still its credit-reporting service, whose 80,000 subscribers can get a rating on any of 3,000,000 firms.

It got them so angry that they refused to run their horses at Aqueduct...
...House. In order to head off Louttit's formal presentation of the heresy charge, Presiding Bishop John T. Hines had named an ad hoc committee to prepare a general statement that would reflect the consensus of the house. The committee was headed by the Rt. Rev. Angus Dun, 74, the retired Bishop of Washington who, in 1946, ordained Pike to the priesthood. Dun's committee proposed rebuking Pike instead of trying him. The debate on its recommendation became in effect a trial by rhetoric-not so much of Pike as of the church itself...
