The answer, in retrospect, ap-

Those sealed envelopes were
securely guarded. But that ao
since last spring.
Speaker Waggoner Carr, of Lub-
bock has said seveal times he
would prefer a race for attorney
general but he has never dosed
the door on a campaign for
governor. Carr’s plans, along with
any easy half dozen others, de-
pend on Wilson’s plans.
If Wilson runs for governor it
appears Sen, Charles Herring

of State Tom Reaviey are sure

Mert Koplin, a former producer,

that no one, except the editors,

‘ There's still much cotton on the
Rolling Plains and about half the

W. H. Jones said at Lubbock the
harvest was resumed as the sun

farmers need a good killing frost
to condition cotton further for ma-
chine harvest.
Livestock still are in generally
good to excellent shape and head-

A few counties in the Rolling

In Northeast Texas, land prep-
aration is further advanced than
in many years. Cattle are in good
shape, but prices dropped.
Three weeks of clear weather
far West Texas are improving and
small grain growth is excellent,
furnishing grazing.
Lambing and calving has begun
in the Edwards Plateau, but screw

Democrats should not worry about

Justice Department had waited
for action by a Mississippi grand
jury, but no action came. Now
the department will seek federal

Acting Atty. Gen. Lawrence E.

that the U.S. attorney to Jackson,,
Miss., had been told to take steps
toward presenting the case to a
federal grand jury.
Parker, a 23-year-old Lumber-
ton, Miss., Negro indicted for rap-
ing a white woman, was dragged
screaming from his cell last April.
His body was found later in a
river. _

the newest federal move was hos-

The decision to enter the case
marked a sharp reversal for the

(investigation by the FBI last May,,
Justice Department offidals said
there had been no evidence of vio-
