AUSTIN (AP)—The State Demo-
cratic Executive Committee wrote
today the rules for hearing con-
vention protests and beat down a
liberal faction effort to change
them.
- Procedure to give "full and ade-
quate” hearing to both sides in
any contest was adopted by an
overwhelming voice vote. Contests
are in prospect in the June 14 state
convention from Austin. El Paso,
Houston and Dallas.
The rules provide that the cre-
dentials committee give five days
notice of the date and place of
hearing contests. They also re-
quire contests be filed 10 days in
advance of the convention.
Mrs. Ed Ball of Houston pro-
posed an amendment providing
that the hearings begin three days
in advance of the convention. She
also suggested that members of
the subcommittee on credentials
must be persons named to the ex-
ecutive committee ■at the last
Democratic convention after nom-
ination by district caucuses. This
Liberals are insisting again that
the Texas Democratic bolt to the
GOP in 1952 and 1956 demands
that the party leadership, includ-
ing the June 14 state convention
here, officially declare now it will
support the Democratic presiden-
tial ticket no matter who is on it.
Protesting liberals calling them-
selves "loyalists” held separate
county conventions at Houston,
Dallas, Austin and El Paso Satur-
day. They said their protest meet
ings were- based on failure of the
regular conventions to pass loyalty
resolutions.

the fight all the way to the na-

take the party pledge.
But leaders of the Johnson for
president movement said there
will be “no doubt” of the Texas
delegation’s loyalty. A special bul-
letin mailed to Johnson workers
asserted his backing from county

Nixon says free air
time to candidates
'unjust'to television
WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice
President Richard M. Nixon said
today the television industry would
be saddled with an unjust burden
if required by law to provide free
time to presidential candidates.
He expressed this view in a
statement sent to a Senate Com-
merce subcommittee which is con-
sidering a proposal for such
legislation.
In public hearings, the subcom-
mittee heard Dr. Frank Stanton,
president of the Columbia Broad-
casting System, denounce the pro-
posal as “A dear, bald and dan-
weeks of Army reserve duty' in[serous violation of principles”

Stanton toid the subcommittee,
however, that CBS is willing to
provide at least one hour of prime
evening time each week to candi-
dates in the coming election
campaign.
Under the bill, all TV networks
and stations would be reqired to
provide free, during prime view-
ing hours, two hours a week for
broadcasts by the major party
presidential candidates in the
eight weeks before a presidential
election.
Nixon said that the sale of time
on the air, especially prime view-
ing hours in the evening, is the
principal stock in trade of TV net-
works and stations.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen.
Lyndon Johnson Monday urged a
vastly expanded saline water con-
servation research program that
would cost up to 20 million dollars
the first year.
He introduced a bill which would
launch a fullscale research and
plant construction program. The
measure would provide federal aid
to communities desiring to build
plants to convert salt and brackish
water to fresh water.
Noting that about 1.000 com-
munities had to restrict water
usage in 1957, Johnson added:
“The water crisis is already
widespread and severe In some
areas. It is also plain that this
crisis can only get worse unless
we act.”
Johnson said a 10-million-dollar
saline water conversion program,
authorized as a seven-year pro-
ject by Congress in 1958, is too
limited to be of any real use.
“Most technicians and scient-
ists agree that the five plants
being built under the 1958 law will
be only a start,” Johnson said.
Federal assistance to communi-
ties, he said, would solve the
problem of those who “under-
standably hesitate to put money
into plants which may, in later
years, turn out to be high - cost
operations.”
Space ship
seen over
New^York
By ALTON L. BLAKE8LEE
Associated Press 8cience Writer
NEW YORK (AP)—The Soviet
Union’s huge 4%-ton "space ship”
was sighted over New York early
today by one observer as a pulsing
streak of light.
This could indicate it was tum-
bling in its flight rather than
being on an even keel, or else
that its special cabin now has
been set free.
The satellite, as seen from sub-
urban Long Island, sped up from
the southern sky on schedule at
4:17 a.m. as a bright point of
light. But the light faded, grew
bright, faded again and grew
bright in regular rhythm, passing
oortheastly across a sky almost
clear of clouds. Stars were clear-
ly visible above it.
Tumbling of a "space ship”
could be bad for any humans
aboard, putting them out of con-
trol unless they could correct the
spin.
Moscow has announced that the
satellite contained a 2%-ton pres-
surized cabin which, upon signal,
would be separated from its car-
rier, presumably with backward-
firing rockets.
This propulsive force in separa-
tion could set either the cabin or
its carrier off course or spinning.
The Soviets said no plan was
made this time to return the cabin
of the "space ship” safely to earth
and predicted it would burn up in
the earth's atmosphere as it came
down.
Safe re-entry of a manned
vehicle is a principal problem of
getting a man—Soviet or Ameri-
can—into space on a pioneering
flight and back home alive again.
The city of Fatehpur Sikrl In
India, built by the Emperor Akbar

preservation. Its completion was

Any tape measure will tell you this: Pontiac’s stance (not the
body) is wider than any other car. But driving a new Pontiac
will tell you more. That’s when you feel the extra measure
of balance, control and sure-footed roadability of Wide-Track

yet it’s easy to discover. Just ask for a Wide-Track Drive.
