Delegates Return
From Atlantic City
WHITEFACE, (Spl.) — Superin-
tendent and Mr*. Noah Cunning-
ham and Mr. and Mrs. M. D.

the AASA meeting in Atlantic City,
N. J. Some 19,000 school represen-
tatives gathered in a 4-day meet-
ing to discuss problems in connec-
tion with schools of the nation.
The Whiteface delegates report-
ed a very enjoyable meeting and
worthwhile educational experienc-
es, both going and returning when
they were able to stop at such in-
teresting places as New York City,
Philadelphia, Washington, D. C.,
and Chicago, and have enough
time to visit some of the most in-
teresting historical spots in our na-
tion.
On Friday, the Texas delegation
had breakfast with Rep. Geo. Ma-
hon, Sen. Price Daniels. Rep.
Frank Ikard of Wichita Falls, Tony
Hernandez, representative from
New Mexico, and Jack Dempsey,
congressman from New Mexico.
This group was honored by a break
fast in the cafeteria of the Senate
Chamber, and later conducted on
a tour of the office building. In the
afternoon, some visited a hearing
of farm bills in the Senate, while
others were present at the open
hearing where John Foster Dulles,
Secretary of State, appeared to
testify.
On the return trip such interest-
ing places as Independence Hall
in Philadelphia, the Betsy Ross
Home, Washington Monument, Lin-
coln Monument, the Arlington Na-
tional Cemetery and grave of the
Unknown Soldier, the National
Monument honoring the Raising of
the Flag on Iwo Jima, Mount Ver-
non. home of George Washington,
were visited.
In Chicago, they visited the
Fields Department store and the
Museum of Natural Science, where
the group was able to view and
pass through the 505 submarine
that was captured by our men of
the Navy. This is the first enemy
Man-of-War to be captured intact
by our armed forces since the War
of 1812.

election in 1952 and 1954 but have
told me that they are disappointed
and disillusioned and would sup-
port me if I run again this year.”
Yarborough said that if he be-
comes a candidate for governor,
"these contributions will be duly
and publicly reported by me under
oath in my sworn campaign ex-
pense account for 1956 to be filed
with the secretary of state, when
the lawful time for filing arrives.”
Patman’s disclosure of a contri-
bution to a prospective Texas can-
didate was made as he tried yes-
terday to account to a Senate com-
mittee headed by Sen. Waiter
George (DGa) for some $9,000 in
cash from the personal funds of
Howard Keck.
Keck is president of Superior (Ml
Co. Patman said he disbursed the
$9,000 for political purposes In 1955.
He said the $700 or $800 which
went to a Texas candidate was for
"getting around the state.”
"You know,” Patman told the
committee, "it’s expensive to get
around the state the year before an
election.”
He said the man to whom he
gave the money was "a friend.”
Committee counsel Charles W.
Stearman did not ask the Texas
candidate’s identity, but reporters
did. Steadman later said be did
not make a request for the Texas
name because there was a question
in his mind whether the Senate
committee had authority broad
enough to go into a state matter
of that kind.
Patman is a distant relative of
Rep. Wright Patman (D-Tex) of
Texarkana. He is a' former exam-
iner for the Texas Railroad Com-
mission, the state’s oil and gas
regulatory agency. He became at-
torney for Superior Oil in charge
of its Austin office about the mid
1940s and has appeared before
state legislative committees on oil
and gas legislation.
He also represents Superior at
Railroad Commission statewide
proration hearings held to deter-
mine how much oil should be al-
lowed to flow from Texas wells

He did not name any of them.
Another question was whether

a second term before his Septem-

Eisenhower replied that is a se-
cret he thinks he gpwer will dis-
close, except possibly in his offi-

White House.
The news conference was held
in the regular meeting place—the
ornate Indian Treaty room in the
old State Department building.
Hours before the 10:30 a. m.
scheduled hour, newsmen were
queued up outside. The room ac-
commodates 270 reporters, while
there are 773 who have White
House credentials entitling them
to attend presidential news con-
ferences—if they can get in.
Eisenhower came into the room
at 10:29 a.m. He was smiling as
he entered with press secretary
James C. Hagerty and Murray
Snyder.

ItOADMASTER 4-Door Riviera—custom-built by Buick
THE SUPER 4-Door Riviera, Model 53—Buick’s extro-spocious medium-price buy
THE CENTURY 4-Door Riviera, Model 63-Buick'i top power buy
THE Special 4-Door Riviera, Model 43—Buick's biggest buy in the low-price field
B

ig news in hardtops these days is the 4-door model.
And the biggest news of all is Buick’s 4-Door Riviera. Ever since its
introduction, this Buick hardtop has taken the country by storm.
But the newest note about this newest of models is the price choice
Buick offers you. Now you can have this much-wanted model in four
different price series—and that’s a choice you’ll get nowhere else.
Now you can have the 4-Door Riviera in the custom-built
Roadmasteh, the extra-spacious Super, the supremely-powered
Century, or the bedrock-priced Special.
What follows from there? Plenty-really plenty.
For in every 1956 Buick there’s a wealth of thrills-a spirited gait—
a trim maneuverability—a sheer enchantment in styling.
In power, it’s a pistol. Every Buick packs a 322-cubic-inch V8 engine
—with Buick’s highest horsepower and compression ratios yet.
In take-off, it’s trigger quick. A new Variable Pitch Dynaflow* betters
the best Buick getaway on record-with instantaneous response at the
very first inch of pedal pressure.
In emergency, it’s double-barreled-with that new Dynaflow chang-
ing to full-power safety-surge acceleration the instant you floor the
pedal and switch the pitch.
And in roominess, in luxury, in handling ease, in ride steadiness, in
directional sense—you’ll discover a literal truth:
This is the best Buick yet.
Can you come in tomorrow to see and sample the greatest Buick ever
—and to note the prices that make this the best buy yet?
