Port Arthur Plans Thanksgiving Service After Severe Hurricane
Port Arthur escaped major disaster as the tropical storm battered Southeast Texas for hours. The town reported no deaths, with damage initially estimated at 500 000 but later trimmed to about 100 000. Crop losses were heavy across Jefferson County, and two people were hurt in nearby Beaumont. Weather shifted inland with rain and wind easing, while cleanup began amid debris and downed trees.

Pegler argues she is ineligible due to journalism as egg money activity and a special reservation for her, amid broader claims of Communist influence.

Business Is On Upgrade
Washington August 8 Secretary of Commerce Hopkins said July business improved but only moderately compared with June. He cited large unfilled orders and strong consumer buying, with inventories not far from March peaks and no significant new buildup. Prices for commodity and security assets fell due to international tensions, yet domestic conditions remain solid and defense spending could lift per capita consumption to new records.
