COMMENTS FROM
CONGRESSMAN
CLARK W. THOMPSON
9th TEXAS DISTRICT
Dear Neighbor:
As I write this letter, it ap-
pears inevitable that, by the
time you read it, the so-called
Civil Rights Bill will have be-
come a law. Those who have
asked me how I would vote on
such a measure already know
my position.
Let me add that the next
vote which the Congress will
take will be on the question:
Shall the House of Representa-
tives agree to the Amend-
ments which the Senate wrote
into the original Bill?
The question of whether or
not we favor the basic legis-
lation does not come into the
picture at all. It is merely
whether we prefer the House
version as is, or the amended
bill.
One way or another, this
measure is destined to become
the law of the land. Its wise ap-
plication depends on the people
who apply it. It may be used;
and it may be abused. What-
ever it is, we have to live with
it.
I have been asked by some
of you: “What do we do now?”
I recall very vividly an occasion
ten years ago when I was asked
a similar question concerning
the Supreme Court school in-
tegration decision. The question
was asked in an open forum, in
Wharton Junior College. I said
in effect: “I don’t know just
what is now to be done, but
this I do advise you—don’t
make any hasty decisions.
Keep your shirts on. Let the
men of good will from both
races sit down around the table
and figure out what we should
do.”
That advice is just as good
today as it was ten years ago.
Let’s keep our shirts on, and
rely on the men of good will,
who, in our Texas country,
have already made some re-
markable strides in race rela-
tions. They may guide us wise-
ly in this present problem.
Incidentally, it is a problem
which may well be just as
perplexing to one race as to the
other. It is very definitely not a
one-way street.

The House of Representatives
is one of the most unique bodies
in the world. There are 435 of
us representing all walks of
American life.
We work primarily on a ma-
jority rule basis. We do our best
to write laws which will be in
line with the wishes of most of
our people. This responsibility
includes the job of making cer-
tain that the people we repre-
sent are heard here in Wash-
ington. The problem may
range from national legislation
to a case of a veteran who needs
help in connection with a mat-
ter he has before the Veterans
Administration.
We who represent basically
rural areas get directly involv-
ed in many Federal programs
and projects in which we have
no direct interest. The entire
Agricultural program is but one
example of the countless prob-
lems in which a Member of
Congress will become involved.

Shiner Gazette — Shiner, Texas Thursday, July 2, 1964
Father’s Day guests in the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert
W. Migl and children were Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Muenich and
Henry Jr. of Austin, Mr. and
Mrs. Rudy Eicher and daugh-
ters of Corpus Christi, Mr. and
Mrs. Rudy Ulcak and children,
Mrs. Fred Ulcak of Yoakum
and Albert J. Migl of Shiner.
Those of us who are from coast-
al areas are particularly con-
cerned with flood control, storm
protection, and navigation
problems.
There are presently under
construction in our District two
hurricane protection projects,
namely Texas City and Free-
port. Added to the one at Gal-
veston, we will shortly have
three of these projects.
When the Matagorda Ship
Channel is fully completed, we
will have four deep water ports'
in the Nninth District. In the
not too distant future, I expect
that we will have three dams in
our District. I have in mind the
Wallisville, Columbus Bend,
and Palmetto Dams.
The rice industry recently
incurred problems which need-
ed solution through legislation.
One threatened to bankrupt
practically the entire rice in-
dustry.
Anyhow, all of these matters
required me to go to other
Members of the House of Rep-
resentatives, many of whom are
from the big metropolitan
cities, and ask them to under-
stand and sympathize with our
problems. So far as I can re-
call, I have always obtained
their support and, in most in-
stances, my proposals have been
accepted on a unanimous basis.
I mention all of this to stress
again that our city people also
have their problems and it is
only natural that their Repre-
sentatives expect the same
consideration and understand-
ing that they have extended to
our people who live in rural
America.
The thing that has called
this to my mind is the recently-
passed Mass Transit Bill. Those
of you who have visited one of
our big metropolitan cities will
never forget the difficulties that
you had getting in and out of
them. It is a terrible problem
and one that is rapidly growing
worse as more and more people
settle in and around big cities.
Solving this problem to them
is as important as our problem
in getting water transportation
in and out of many of our com-
munities along the Gulf Coast.
Sincerely yours,
Clark W. Thompson
USDA Cuts "Mike"
Reading Charges
Micronaire, or “Mike” read-
ings will join Grade and Staple
as official measurements of cot-
ton quality, this year, reports
the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture.
J. B. Russ, in charge of the
Agricultural Marketing Ser-
vice’s Cotton Classing Office in
Austin, tells us that the classing
office is ready to take a Mike
reading on all cotton samples
they receive, and the Mike
reading will appear on the
Classification Card, right along
with grade and staple.
Cost of the Mike reading
service has been reduced from
8 cents to 6 cents per sample,
provided ginner applies for this
service prior to the time sam-
ples are submitted; otherwise
the charge will be 25 cents.
Grade and staple information
will be provided free, as before,
under the Smith-Doxey pro-
gram.
Mike describes fineness and
maturity of cotton fibers. It’s
measured on a scale from 2.4 to
8.0, in steps of one-tenth. Jt
works like this: When com-
pressed air is forced through a
sample of cotton, an air-flow
instrument registers the Mike
reading of that particular
sample. Fine fibers permit less
air to pass through. Thus, the
finer the fibers, the lower the
reading. Fineness and maturity
affect the spinnability and
value of the cotton.
About six weeks ago, USDA
announced that Mike readings
will be required for all upland
cotton that goes under price-
support loan.
Included in the announce-
ment was a schedule of pre-
miums and discounts, based on
Mike readings. If the reading
is between 3.7 and 4.8, a pre-
mium of 13 points per pound
will be allowed when the cotton
is placed under loan. No pre-
mium or discount will be allow-
ed if the Mike reading is 4.9
through 5.1, or between 3.3
through 3.6. Discounts from 10
to 300 points will apply if read-
ings are outside these measure-
ments.
Russ says all ginners in the
Austin territory have been pro-
vided with a new Question and
Answer pamphlet that explains
the Mike reading service.
Apache Indians are believed
to have drifted south from
Canada about 1200-1400 A. D.
