HOUSTON, (IP)—A spectacular
gasoline fire along the Houston
ship channel was brought under
control at dawn today after an all
night fight by nearly 200 firemen.
About 20 firemen were hurt.
Flames rose 300 feet in the air,
lighting up the countryside for a
mile around, after a creeping
grass fire set fire to a 24,500-gal
lon gasoline tank last night.
The tank was in the middle of
an oil storage terminal with 50
huge tanks with a total capacity
of 2,750,000 barrels. Only a few
yards away was a tank holding
80,000 barrels of aviation gasoline.
It got so hot the paint peeled
from it.
BURNIPS, Mich., (/P)—An op
eration reduced the weight of Mrs.
Gertrude Levandowski by half.
Two weeks ago she weighed 600
pounds. Now she weighs 296.
By dieting she hopes to get
down to 200.
Congenial Mrs. Levandowski,
58, a widow, is recovering at her
Allagan county farm home here
from an operation to remove an
abdominal tumor.
The tumor, from which she suf
fered for ten years, created her
excess weigkht by causing a sec
retion of liquid.
Before the operation Mrs. Le
vandowski said she was “just
waiting to die.”
SAN FRANCISCO, {IP) — Gov.
Earl Warren is hospitalized with
an acute pain in his right arm—
possibly bursitis, neurologists said

cold the 59-year-old Republican
suffered last week.
AFRS Radio News
Well as is the consistent habit of
our main AFRS studios at Los An
geles in their ever constant search
for new or better programs, with
which to increase our program
schedule and the pleasure and en
tertainment to yoru the listening
audience, we have received two
hours of additional (New) trans- !
•
cribed programs as of this coming
Sunday. Also included in this unit
is a new program entitled “Sym
phonies for Youth” replacing “Pi
oneers of Music.” In order to ‘bal
ance out crur schedule throughout j
the week and to lighten our Sat- j
urday afternoon and Sunday j
schedule this excellent program
will come to you on Thursday
evenings from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.
•Due to our limited staff here at
the station and the preparation it
takes to set up an hour long audi
ence participation program such
as “Name It For A Song,” which
seems to have lacked the audience
participation in submitting Mys
| tery tunes, an$ so forth to enliven
the program, and to find time to
include our seven 30 minute
weekyly releases of “At Ease” at
a convenient time so that every
one can enjoy the music of these
programs, we are reversing “Name
It For A Song” back to a half
hour program Monday through
Thursday from 10 p.m. to 10:30
| p.m., followed from 10:30 p.m. to
11 p.m. with “At Ease” Monday,
through Friday.
On Sunday morning our sched- j
| ule has been rearranged ter include j
t a full hour of relaxing “At Ease”
j music from 10:30 to 11:30, fol
lowed by “Family Theater.”
AFRS takes great pleasure in
announcing that on Sunday, Feb
ruary 11, “Boy Scout Sunday” this ]
station will present a special Pub- j
lie Service program written and
acted out by the Cub Scouts of;
Pack 363, Nome, Alaska, That is
at 3:30 Sunday afternoon.
In closing this session of Plat
ter Chateer, I would like to ask
you to tune in again Friday for a
| rundown of our Special Commem
orative Programs in honor of Lin- !
j coin’s Birthday which is Monday.'
; These programs will start Friday
! and run through Monday.
Incidentally before I forget it
! we have had to move your “Na
! tional Guard Show” to a new spot,
i namely Friday at 6:15 p.m.
