Script from the WBAP-TV/NBC station in Fort Worth, Texas, relating a news story about tornadoes which have killed at least 260 persons, injured hundreds and caused millions of dollars damage in an awesome trail of destruction from the deep south through the Ohio valley and into Canada.

Letter from I. H. Kempner to D. W. Kempner discussing facts rumored and stated at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce, including that Galveston Wharves were planning to building a warehouse for Campdera, Cook & Company would lease ten acres of their property and erect a warehouse, and that Volkart is planning to add 125,000 square feet to their property. Furthermore, the materialization of these prospects would increase the importance of Galveston as a cotton port and possible opportunities to sell parts of their own plant.
