YARNIN' FUD GIP8OK CORPUS CHRISTI. Saturday nijfct. Dusk settles over the city. And out of the waspnest of shacks and that house too many el the city's Inhabitants spill itreams of humanity, streams with unsteady shifting currents that mix and mingle here, conflict there, flow toward the beer parlors and honky lonks like water into basins, there to eddy and swirl and finally seep back into the oncoming interlaced streams. Saturday night.

And the search for pleasure is on. Saturday night. And the sale of pleasure is on, men selling it in bottles, women selling themselves cheaper ones for cash, the more expensive or.e for the food and drinks they can command. Saturday night. And the sneak thieves and pickpockets and burglars prowl the city, seeking gain.

Saturday night. And the pulse of the entire city quickens to a tempo. And the police make their rounds, seeking to keep a semblance of order In a world of disorder. I cruised with. Boy Stephens and LJoyd McGee, Corpus Christ! motor car patrolmen, seeing a little of the tragedy, the pathos, the humor, and ekcitement that policemen look upon night after night, month after month.

A garage apartment door kicked In by a husband recently separated from his wife. The wife, hard and bitter, denouncing him with biting words. The husband, just as hard and bitter, lashing back with sarcastic comments. Three Negro women, gloriously drunk in a cubbyhole dive, two hanging over the bar and laughing crazily, the third pawing over a Mexican man who sucks his brown paper cigaret and stares stupidly at the floor. More family trouble.

A man hanging around In the shrubbery of his divorced wife's home. Wife and neighbors alarmed. He's caught as he attempts to slip out. He reeks with the smell of beer. "Just wanted to see my children," he complains, on the way to the police station.

"Just to buy them some clothes and give them some money. Ain't no harm In that, is there? Ain't no harm in a man seeing his children. Why, if there's any harm in that, what's the use of living? Why, I love them just like you love your father and mother. Ain't no harm In that. Just wanted to see my children." Over and over he complains, his thick tongue slurring the syllables.

TWE PARIS NEWS, PARIS, TEXAS down street toward a crowded hall. An hour later another half-seen movement in aame gin yard. This time, it's only three alley cats and an opossum scampering for cover. A frightened woman sits mute while her husband tells of seeing a burglar attempting a window of the house. Saturday night.

And the police are busy men. River (Continued From Page One) lowlands, and the road from Honey Grove to Monkstown is almost impassable, traffic having to go by way of Bonham. IvEEDILL, rains Saturday, Sunday and Monday put Pine creek out of banks antl all over the bottoms.
