HiltbHly Music
B elden Says
By Joe Belden
Editor, Texas Surveys of
Public Opinion
AUSTIN, August 30. — W. Lee
O'Daniel is probably the first
Texas office - seeker who has
made hillbilly music pay polit-
ically. -
Three years ago ho suddenly
appeared to pipe Texas voters to
the polls and to make history by
twice being elected governor with
clear majorities in the first pri-
maries. This summer he went
before the microphone again,
asked for voteii to the tune of
"Beautiful Texas." He is now
Untied States Senator."
While thousands of Texfcns have
religiously tuned in to his Suit-
day morning program, others
hive often wished they were not
tfwfjkened by the Hillbilly Boys
from the Governor's Mansion.
O'Daniel himself has chided *rlt-
Ict of the music he plays, saying
he believes there are plenty of
Texins Who like hillbilly music.
And he is substantially correct,
Texas Surveys of Public Opinion
dllcovers. There is only a small
minority who thoroughly dislikes
the twangy tunes, according to
,the results of a survey conducted
in all sections of the state. This
Is not to say, however, that hill-

As the Lutfwaffe hammered *
Russian forces east from the Es-
tonian capital taken by the Ger-
mans yesterday, the high «
mand issued this summary of
Soviet loases on the sea:
"Sinkings to date amount to 3ft
transport ships totalling 48,200
tons, and eight transports badly
damaged, by mines. \
"Bombers destroyed 22 mer-
chantmen, chiefly troop trans-
port#, totalling 74,000 tons, and
so badly damaged an additional
39 ships that the loss of a great
number df these vessels is appar-
