today than elected. him last sum-

be enough in the approaching
1942 primaries.
A-poll conducted by Texas Sur-

Panhandle, the Valley, the Big
Thicket — everywhere over the
state — brings to light evidence
that the . senator has regained the
popularity he lest when he first
arrived in ' Congress. Lyndon

Judging from events of recent
months and from systematic ques-

this appears to be the process
through which the Texas public
mind has Been going since the
dramatic special election to find
a successor for the late Senator
Morris Sheppard:
Although nearly 31 "per cent
voted to send O'Daniel to Wash-,
ington, three months later, soon
after he had been coldly received
in congress, many of his support-
ers had deserted him.
Recently, however, the new
senator has been hammering on
the need for legislation to curb
strikes. This no doubt has made
a good impression with the voters

Three young people narrowly
escaped injury and possible death
early Saturday morning when the,
car in which they were riding
plunged off the Adams' bayou
bridge in Cove addition and was
submerged upside-down in wa-

The trio managed to get out of
the car and" climb to safety, ac-

department called to the . scene.
labor troubles in defense projects.
His potential, vote as a candidate
has thus increased five points a-
bove the 31 per cent plurality he
received last summer.
Although both Mann and John-
son have suffered from the flow
of support back to O'Daniel, their
losses are small — about 5 per-
centage points in each case. Most
of the senator's gain has come
from the quarter of the electorate
that last September was unde-
cided. . ,
A primary held today would
with little doubt plact> O'Daniel in
the run-ofl. Whether he could
then muster a majority is another
problem. A poll last July soon
after the special election indicated
Johnson would have received a
majority in a second primary.
O'Daniel's main strength, as at
other times, lies with the farmers
and voters of lower incomes, es-
pecially the pensioners/

Huge Bear Shipped To Orange Proves
Problem To Express Agent Who Can't i
Contact Either Sender or Receiver
"It's a bear" and by no means a
"bear - cat" held unwillingly in
captivity at the Railway Express
company's office at this time be-
cause the person, "Lottie Vine-
yard", to whom Bruin came ad-
dressed, cannot be located-
The 300-pound brown bear, an
exceptionally good natured and
healthy fellow, in his regular type
cage, showing Lawrence Greater
Shows circue as the shipper from
Clinton, N. C-. reached the Orange
express office several days ago.
... No one here has ever heard ot
"Lottie Vineyard". Letters* and
telegrams sent throughout the
country have so far failed to
glean the slightest information as
to the shipper or the addressee.
In the meantime meat and vege-
tables are being fed to Bruin.
While Bruin has furnished a-
musomont for a number of people
who have found out that he la be-
ing held at the express office, he
has dealt Guy Shaw, the express
agent, plenty of misery. Many
children have wandered into the
express office to inspect the big
brown bear. This has made it {
necessary for the agent to keep a j
close watth to see that the bear ]
docs i?ot bite someone who risks i
too much-
One man was said to have al-
most lost his trousers because he
stood too close to Bruin's cage and
another one moved his foot just
in time to keep from losing a
shoe. It is admitted that the' good
netured bear only wants to play.
"but who wants to play with a
bear that doesn't know how to be
gentle", declared a visitor Satur-
day- .
Just what disposition is to he
made of the unwanted bear was
a problem being considered by the
express agent, and others Satur-| -
day. Some wanted to know whe-j
ther or not the bear season was 1
open and if the bear was really, abovt, commercial photographer's
fat. Those residing near the ex- ! mo<lp|. married A. G. Atwater,

Inflation Ahead
Says Wm. Murray
Former Governor
Oklahoma City. Nov. 22. (AP)
—William H. Murray advises city
dwellers to get three acres fh the
country an da storm cellar
county and a storm cellar
there's inflation ahead "and that
means dictatorship."
Thus spoke Oklahoma's former
governor os he turned his 72nd
year, still vigorous, still interested
in politics, still critical of the new
deal he has fought so long.
"Now if I were a city dweller,"
he told an interviewer, "I'd get
about three acres somewhere out
in the country, away from a main
highway. I'd have a cellar and
I'd begin to can vegetables and
fruit. 1 ' - ' "« ■****#
"I'd get all the specie I could
Paper money won't be worth any-
thing. I'd put those canned Veg-
etables In a hole in the ground,
bury them, so I'd have something
to eat when the trouble comcs."
Murray said a 5-4 decision of
the United States supreme court
ill 1871 put the country on the
road to Inflation by permitting is-
suance of paper money and the
present administration is pound-
ing down that route.
