...society suggested Texas history as a theme, but Guion preferred to stick to folk patterns and impressions of Texas sights & sounds. Prairie Dusk, Part One of his 14-part suite, had more than just impressions; Composer Guion even worked in recordings of a Texas cricket singing, a mockingbird calling and a coyote howling.

Hedin Construction Co. guilty of paying $40,000 in over-the-ceiling wages, the first such major decision since the freeze. It found that Hedin's bricklayers got $3 an hour for working on a Veterans Administration hospital when WSB regulations allowed only $2.75. The commission ruled that Hedin must pay federal income taxes on the $40,000, and ordered the VA to deduct the sum from...
