have failed to produce authentic leaders, Businessman said. “The labor-liberal bloc simply does n6t havein the House or in state affairsmen to match votes.

V Rep. W. T. Dungan of Mc Kinney was elected chairman of the East Texas legislative delegation. t o ot A petition with 500 signa tureS from Edgewood School District in San Antonio supporting the teachers’ job tenure bill was presented to Sen. Henry Gonzalez and Bexar representatives. The bill provides for written charges, a public hearing,. and a chance for a dismissed teacher to appear before his school board. g o of Rep. John Dowdy of Athens wrote letters to Speaker Turman and Lt. Gov. Ramsey ad vocating that the legislature pro mote public school instruction on the nature and evils of commu nism. He urged creation of a spe cial committee to assist local schools in starting such programs. Citing similar projects in Dallas and other schools, Dowdy said he was “intensely disturbed by in creasing reports of socialistic communism in the United States.” V Pres. Kennedy named Bill Daniel, the governor’s flamboyant brother, to the governorship of Guam. The state parks board sug gested minimum standards for present and future parks and a proposed reorganization pro gram in a report to the legisla ture. Eight regional headquarters would be set up in the state and parks would be clasSified as historic, scenic, or recreational. The report, following a Texas Research League study, noted that parks are in a serious state of disrepair and that no plans have been made to acquire new lands to meet the state’s growing and shifting population. V Fort Worth Labor News called the merit-rating plan on auto insurance “one of the biggest hoaxes and fiascos of our time,” charged it is “robbing Texas motorists of millions of dollars,” and commended Sen. George Parkhouse of Dallas for a “cogent and eloquent” attack on the plan. V Corpus Christi Caller joined the Observer and the Abilene Reporter-News in recommending the reporting of campaign contributions and expenditures in speaker races. “The true amounts of money spent in the vealed, nor are they likely to be,” the Caller said. V A photographic reproduction of an article in Farm and Ranch sent out by F. G. Swanson of \(Tyler, Texas, to Texas newspapers includes these observations: “Uncle Sam is Uncle Sucker” . . . “Kennedy’s New Frontier is Socialism. Socialism is Communism without the firing squad. Before the ‘New Frontier,’ first introduced as the ‘New Deal,’ gov-‘ ernment prevented one man from robbing another. Now government robs one man for the benefit of another . . . “With the Kennedy dynasty ruling our lives .. . the main issue is religion: God Save America.” Attached to the article was a “non-negotiable Las Vegas” $1,000 bill. One Good Deal AUSTIN Midwestern University is the school at Wichita Falls that was accepted by the state two years ago as a gift, to be admitted to the system next September, free of indebtedness. This week Bill Thacker, an attorney for , Midwestern, and J. P. Coleman, a member of the board of regents, appeared before the committee and said, in effect, “We’re not quite free of indebtednessas a matter of fact, we still owe nearly $900,000 on previous bondsbut we know a way to straighten all that out, with your help. Now watch the shells.” First move is to “refund” the bond indebtedness now outstanding. This will make the school “free of debt” and ready to turn over to the state. To do that, said Thacker and Coleman, we’ll float a new bond issue for $1,200,000 on the existing junior college district. “Wait,” cried Sen. Abraham Kazen, “How can you issue bonds on a junior college district that will cease to exist as soon as you turn the school over to the tate?” It’s easy, said Thacker and Coleman. The junior college may no longer exist, but the junior college district will exist as long as it is in debt. “And how do you intend to pay off the new bond issue?” asked Sen. Charles Herring. It’s easy, said Thacker and Coleman. We’ll pay it off out of ad valorem taxes and out of revenue from the school’s dormitories. “But those dormitories will belong to the state. You’ve given them to the state,” said Herring. “You mean you intend to pay off the bond issue partly out of funds that are rightfully the state’s?” Thacker and Coleman smiled. Sen. William Moore, Bryan: “I was on this committee two years ago when the offer to give Midwestern to us was made. I thought the school was supposed to be free of indebtedness. I thought we were getting a big gift.” Sen. Kazen: “I’m willing to admit we made a mistake.” As the atmosphere around the committee table became increasingly hotter, Sen. George Moffett of Chillicothe moved the bill into a subcommittee for two weeks. ly five days to cool off enough to Which left the committee exactgive an impartial hearing to Sen. Robert Baker of Houston who was scheduled Monday to defend a bill offering the University of Houston to the state system, for free. B.S. Do You Think Some Friend Who Thinks Might Want The Observer?

Kennedy to assist John Hay Whitney, outgoing ambassador to England, in negotiations on U.S. bases in the West Indies. The president said he believes there is “a great reservoir of talent” in the ‘Latin-Americans of Texas and the Southwest. He said prominent Latin American had been offered a “high post” in the administration but could not Political Intelligence accept it. According to the Hearst papers, Kennedy had under consideration “a well-known Texan for an ambassadorial post to an unnamed country.” This could have been Sen. Henry Gonzalez of San Antonio, a candidate for the U.S. Senate. V Jerry Holleman, former state AFLCIO president and now assistant secretary of labor, said in a speech to the national farm labor conference that farmers who employ the most hired hands “will find it to their own best interests” to improve the lot of farm laborers. He said migrant workers still are excluded from federal minimum wage, unemployment insurance, workmen’s compensation, and child labor laws. L Sen. Ralph Yarborough con ferred for over half-an-hour with Pres. Kennedy, presenting him with a fat volume of the president’s campaign speeches and press conferences collected by Yarborough’s watchdog committee which was appointed to check on fairness in news coverage. Creelcrnore Fath of Austin, Yarborough’s appointee to the committee, was also present. The senator said protocol prevented him from commenting on the discussion with the president . . . Yarborough this week commended Kennedy’s economic recovery program . . . In the Senate he warned that the longer Congress delays in establishing a national park on Parde Island the more the project will cost. V Interim Sen. Bill Blakley subjected Robert C. Weaver, Kennedy’s nominee to head the Housing and Home Finance Agency, to questioning on what Blakley called Weaver’s past connections with communist-front organizations. Weaver, who won committee approval, either de nied or ‘qualified all of Blakley’s charges . . . Washington Report, the national column by Robert S. Allen and Paul Scott, said Blak ley was one of five on the eight man Senate anti-trust investigat ing committee who oppose pub lication of a report that is highly critical of lax state regulation of insurance companies. “Sen. Thom as Dodd and Blakley,” the col umn said, “are new members of the committee. Dodd’s state, Con necticut, is known as the ‘insur ance capital of the U.S.’ Blakley, a wealthy oilman, has been an official of insurance companies.” V Texas Businessmen, weekly advisory, wrote this week: “Insurrection showed its face in the House. Guerrilla fighting against new Speaker Turman stems out of internal personal feelings; personality conflicts, al leged broken promises on com mittee assignments, and a lack of deftness in the victor’s claiming of the spoils of his speakership contest .. . The battle will even ually be settled on the tax issue. Open rebellion could produce a sales tax.” The “labor-liberals” THE TEXAS OBSERVER Page 7 Feb. 11, 1961 LEGALS STATE OF TEXAS, COUNTY OF DALLAS KNOW ALL MEN: THAT I, James M.
