Dodd Faces More Problems
w ASHINGTON (U PI)—Sen.
Thomas Joseph Dodd, censured
v "eagues for bringing
Senate, still
gations by the
nent and Inter-
ue Service.
The Senate, after nine days of
historic debate, voted 92 to 5
Friday to censure the second-
term Connecticut Democrat for
using $116,083 in campaign
tends to pay personal bills.
It was the first time the
Senate had ever censured one of

vin Woodley, Elmer Barton,

Stroud.
its members for financial
misconduct, and only the
seventh time in history the
Senate has censured, con-
demned, or rebuked a colleague.
After censuring Dodd on the
campaign fund charge, the
Senate voted 51 to 45 to clear
the 60-year-old lawmaker of a
second charge that he billed the
Senate and private organiza-
tions for the same trip on at
least six occasions. Dodd repaid
to the Senate the $1,793 In
question.
Notes Bright Side
Dodd said after the vote he
felt “badly” about being cen-
sured, but told reporters he
figured he had won on two of
the three counts against him.
“First, there was the Klein
affair and what a hullabaloo
there was about that But the
Senate Ethics Committee found
there was nothing to it”
Dodd referred to charges by
columnists Drew Pearson and
Jack Anderson that he had been
used as an errand boy for
Chicago p bile relations man
Julius Klein, a registered agent
for West German business
interests.
“Now the Senate says there
was nothing to this double-
billing,” he added.
But Dodd’s ordeal is far from
over. The Justice Department
and the Internal Revenue
Service both have investiga-
tions underway.
Review Evidence
At the time it recommended
Dodd’s censure, the Ethics
Committee asked the two
agencies to look into evidence
compiled during its 14-month
investigation for “possible vio-
lations of law.”
The panel asked the Justice

A censure resolution carries
no penalties of any kind. But
censure is considered the
harshest form of rebuke to a
member short of expulsion. It
holds the individual up to scorn
and criticism.
The only senators voting with
Dodd against the censure
motion were his chief defender,
Russell B. Long, D-La.; his
home-state colleague, Abraham
Rlbicoff, D-Conn,, Strom Thur-

President Johnson is said to
prefer his photographs be taken
from the left side without his
glasses. Do you have such a
preference when facing a cam-
era? You’ll recall Mr. Johnson
was quoted as having told an
artist that a portrait of the
President was the ugliest thing
he ever saw. The exact same
comment was made by a lady
of our acquaintance once after
she examined a photographer’s
proofs of her. “Madam,” re-
plied the photographer, “you
should have thought of (hat be-
fore you had them taken.”
Safety experts report that
driving at night Is more than
twice as dangerous as driving
during the day, says “Today’s
Health,” the magazine of the
American Medical Association.
In 1965, there were 10 persons
killed for every 100 million
vehicle miles traveled in dark-
ness-four dead for every 100
million miles traveled in day-
light.

to the cost per mile of operat-
ion, is there any vehicle more
expensive than a super market

Dragoljub Katie, a special
reporter for Radio Belgrade,
said the unidentified Egyptian
generals were among “several
hundred high officers who . . .
had not done their duty” in the
war. He said many of the
officers were not suited for the
military and had been appointed
because they were “sons of
former pashas, beys and cotton
merchants.”

Chamber In Trouble
A feeling to educate members
of the Area Chamber of Com-
merce was strongly expressed
by board of director members
during a special meeting here
last night.
During the Friday meeting,
directors attempted to draw-
definite conclusions as to how-
to bring additional money into
the Levelland Chamber, and felt
that members did not realize
what shape the chamber was in,
now, and for the past several
years.
At a meeting Wednesday, dir-
ectors were instructed to take
five delinquent cards of past
due members and make a visit
or call, attempting to collect
$1725.23 due since February.
One of the directors pointed
out that even if the delinquent
notices had been collected, the
chamber would still not be out of
the red.
They tossed their problem
back and forth, as well as sev-
eral ideas that could bring
money in. Odell Frazier sug-
gested that something be done
in order that the Chamber could
offer a certain type of service
that businessmen Stiuld get no
wherel'lse.
They also heard suggestion
from Jim Wills concerning an
employment service. The ser-
vice, according to Wills, would
assist in finding jobs for a
nominal fee. No definite con-
clusion was made.
Among other ideas offered a
collecting service that could
be offered to businessmen and

(in Moscow, the Soviet
weekly magazine New Times
said the Egyptian Air Force
could blame its own “careless-
ness" for the Egyptian defeat in
Sinai. "Evidently, no small role
was played by the carelessness
of the air command, as a result
of which Israeli planes were
able to fly in at low altitudes
from the Mediterranean and

This year across the length
and breadth of Canada there is
a galaxy of celebrations comm-
emorating the first 100 years of
all is Exp) 67 in bilingual Mon-
treal with 70 nations participat-
ing in the biggest and probably
the best world’s fair ever
he'd.
To see why they are celebra-
ting it might be helpful to take
a glimpse at some of the high
spots of Canadian history. The
first people came across the
narrow channel from Asia thou-
sands of years ago. They had
reddish brown skin, high cheek-
bones, and straight black hair.
They were eventually known
as Indians.
Lief the Lucky, a bold Vik-
ing, discovered Greenland a-
bout the year 1000. John Cabot,
a Portuguese sailor in the ser-
vice of England reached the At-
lantic shore of Canada in 1497.
More than 100 years later the
first settlement was establish-
ed by the French. Sam id de
Champlain, who founded the city
of Quebec in 1608,. was known
as the “Father at £iMda.”
In 1763, New France, as this
vast territory was known, was
conquered by the British.
In 1867 four colonies banded
together Into a kind of union
with a federal government.New
provinces were formed and ad-
mitted one by one into the Can-
adian federation, Since then,
through two world wars and the
Korean war Canada has kept
on growing richer and strong-
er.
The second largest country in
the world, Canada has a popu-
lation of only 20 million people,
75 percent of them living In a
narrow strip stretching east
and west across the continent
near the U.S. border, By way
of contrast, China, world’s
third largest country geograph-
ically, has an estimated 700 mil-
lion people
Canada has the most varied
geography of any country and is
blessed with an abundance at
natural resources.
There has always been some
conflict between the French Ca-
nadians and those of English and
other origins. The province at
Quebec is predominately
French, Official languages at
Canada are English and French.
A^ great deal of French cul-
ture and custom is still very
evident in Canada today.
Canada has corns a long way
In her first 100 years. The
government has been surpris-
ingly successful most at the
time. For many years the Ca-
nadian dollar was worth more
than the U.S. dollar. At present
ours is worth slightly more.
The subsistence agriculture
of early Canada has been tran-
sformed by modem methods.
Much of the vast wheat crop
of Saskatchewan and other farm
products are now exported.
Forestry has always been im-
portant in Canada’s economy.

gest producer of wood pi lp

steps were taken to make a
list of the entire body of Cham-

Directors will study the list ar

Another suggestion cam
from Gene Yeager, that a fur

He said that other chamber
had done this with great su<
cess.
Yeager explained that the pre

to Levelland, he can still boast
of the Texas area. “We came to
Texas In a covered wagon when
I was four year* old,” he said,
“there were 12 wagons of nei-
ghbors in the train.”
The families settled in Gra-
son County for two years and
then moved to Cook County near
Gainesville.
“There were no rail roods
or telephones, ” he recalled,
“and we had to go to Sherman
to do all our trading.”
Upton remembers watching
men kill buffaloes for the hides
and haul them to Sherman in ok
carts.
“A man could file on as much
as a section of land then as he
wished,” he said. “And many
ranchmen had their hands file
on the land and than would pay
