Feuding between the two
factions of Texas Young Dem-
ocrats, right out in the open,
constitutes a sort,of sneak pre-
vue of warring to come as the
liberals and conservatives slug
it out for party control.
Meeting in Fort Worth Fri-
day, the conservatives, headed
by Max Triplett of Hillsboro,
planned for a state convention
and looked ahead to the* na-'
tional convention in St. Paul.
Claiming official sanction,
the Triplett group had the en-
dorsement of Wallace Savage
of Dallas, state Democratic
chairman, and Mrs. H. H. Wein-
ert of Seguin, national commit-
teewoman.
Mrs. Weinert had a letter
from Stephen A. Mitchell, na-
tional Democratic chairman, to
the effect that recognition of a
Texas Young Democratic organ-
ization must come through ap-
proval by senior party officials
in the state.
A rival Young Demo organ-
ization of liberals was formed
at a San Antonio meeting,
where Bill McKnight of Dallas
was elected president and au-
thorized the executive commit-
tee to send delegates to St.
Paul.
Official status also was
claimed by the liberals, who
said they had the nod from the
national young Democratic or-
ganization.
* * *
Liberals and conservatives
are apparently agreed on one
thing: Texas is in no danger
of becoming a Republican state.
Governor Allan Shivers told
reporters that “Texas is an ov-
erwhelmingly Democratic State
and, in my opinion, will be that
way for a long time to come.”
Shivers, of course, is bitterly
opposed to the liberal Demo-
crats who stuck .with Adlai
Stevenson last year. The Gov-
ernor led the Texas Democrats
in the successful Eisenhower
campaign.
Liberal Texas Democrats,
viewed recent elections around
the country as a “trend back
to the party fold.”
A typical comment was „ that
of Congressman Homer Thorn-
berry, who said that while he
didn’t consider the Democratic
victories a reflection on the
president, he did see “a trend
away from the Republicans and
a feeling that they are not
performing on their promises.”
* * *
One point of contention be-
tween the liberals and the con-
servatives is the matter of

Shivers established his view-
point on the subject at a ses-
sion of southern governors in
Hot Springs, Virginia.
“We have allowed ourselves
to be bribed with our own mon-
ey,” the governor said, adding:
“The matching dollar with
strings attached has carried the
federal government into near-
ly every phase of state activ-
ity.”

Prospective candidates for
the governorship of Texas still
are waiting for Shivers to make
up his mind. Their places hinge
on his decision.. It presents the

peculiar case of the political
fortunes of many men hinging
on the decision of one. He re-
fuses to be counted in or out
of the picture.
Many who might run wonder
whether they would be respect-
ed more for making up their
own minds, rather than waiting
for the governor to, decide for
them.
At the Virginia meeting, Shiv-
ers was asked whether he might
run for the U. S. Senate against
Lyndon Johnson.
Shivers replied that he had-
n’t any idea of running for
anything right now, but “don’t
construe that as saying that I
would not be a candidate for
the Senate.”
* * *
Mayor Roy Hofheinz of Hous-
ton was one of the many who
sat waiting for Shivers.
He told reporters that he does
not intend to run for governor
if Shivers is a candidate for re-
election. .
Did that mean that he would
run for governor -if Shivers is
not a candidate?
Mayor Hofheinz did not say.
Another man , who had
thoughts of politics in his mind
was Congressman Lloyd M.
Bentsen Jr. Here is a newspa-
per’s comment on the occasion
of Beritsen’s visit to Austin to
address the junior chamber of
commerce:
“Bentsen’s plans for next
year have provided one of the
state’s best political guessing
games. To date he has had no-
thing definite to say.”
Our guess is that Bentsen
will not say until he hears
what Shivers is going to do.

Key's Manuscript
Of Anthem Sold
To Maryland Group
BALTIMORE — Francis Scott
Key’s original manuscript of the
“Star Spangled Banner” has been
purchased by the Maryland His-
torical Society for $26,400.
The manuscript is on excellent
rag paper about 7 by 9 inches,
written clearly in ink by Key and
with two corrections by him. It
was penned on Sept. 14, 1814, in a
hotel room in Baltimore, composed
from notes Key had made on
scraps of paper the previous night.
Key, a native of Carrol County,
Md., and practicing law in Wash-
ington, had spent the night aboard
a British warship watching the
i English bombardment of Fort Mc-
Henry in Baltimore Harbor. He
was inspired by the sight of the
“star spangled banner’’ still float-
ing over the ramparts at dawn
after the attack.
Soon after, it was found that
Key’s words fitted, perhaps sub-
consciously, the meter of “To
Anacreon in Heaven,” a popular
English song of the time. The
“Star Spangled Banner,” there-
fore, was published as a song with
that tune.
It was played by the Army and
Navy for many years, but was not
made an official national anthem
until President Woodrow Wilson so
ordered in 1916 and Congress con-
firmed in 1931.
The manuscript will be dis-
played in a marble and glass case
in the society’s headquarters;-

New Stuffed Chair
Gives Sitter a Rubdown
NEW YORK—What they’ll think
of next is anyone’s guess. The
newest wrinkle for home comfori
is a stuffed living room chair that
adds to your comfort by giving you
a rubdown while you are taking it
easy in your living room.
Inside the chair are special mo-
tors and floating panels encased
in foam rubber.
The owner just snaps on a
switch and adjusts the speed to
suit his taste. The chair goes into
action, as sides and back give you
a massage.
The chair, it is reported, may be
adjusted to three positions—sit-
ting, half-reclining and horizontal.
A connecting cord from the chair
plugs into a wall outlet.
So called “closet dramas”
are those designed to be read,
but not acted.

land is given the title of Em-
porer.
