Unmorality in
Public Life
"There is no evil so readily
understood or so quickly re
pudiated by the American elec-
torate than unmorality in pub-
lic office," writes David Law-
rence in U.S. News and World
Report. "It was a Democratic
President — Grover Cleveland—
who proclaimed that 'public of-
fice is a public trust'."
The recent disclosures of ir-
regularities, influence-peddling
and various unsavory practices
in the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau, the Reconstruction Fi-
nance Corporation and other
governmental agencies have
come as a profound shock to
every thoughtful Ameican. like
termites in a house, these evils
gnaw away at the very founda-
tions of the nation.
This is not just a matter of
bribes and other clearly il-
legal acts. The law can deal
with them. But there are cer-
tain borderline practices which
are beyond the reach of law,
j and which lie within the realm
of human conscience. In the
recent investigations, men of
great political power, who used
that power to influence the poli-
cies of government bureaus,
said that, they violated no law.
That may be true—but they did
something as bad or worse—they
violated every concept of de
ceney, morality, and honor in
government.
This is not a partisan mat-
old, degrading tech-
ci ty - machine politics
brought to Washing-
flies have found the
sugar. The American people
must make it unmistakably plain
that, in the conduct of their
government, they demand what
David Lawrence calls "old-
fashioned decency, and old-fa-
shioned morality." — Industrial

Highest percent-!.i.',e i>t gain
was scored by the manui'ne-
iuring industry which more
than doubled dm in,1, the last
decade, as measured in em-
ployment and volume of physi-
cal production. The number
working in Texas manufactur-
ing plants increased t r o m
!(13,978 in April. 1949, to 449.
800 in June. 1951. All
cations of industry-
gains. but especially
were developments o
chemical, aviation, and iron and1
steel industries. ;
Retail stores of the state!
how do approximately seven [
billion dollars of business an-
nually as compared with $1.-
803.7i6,000 in 1939. This leaves
a wide marking of increase in
turnover of goods after allow-
ing for price inflation.
These changes have been ac-
companied by an increase of
20.2 per cent in the total popu-
lation, 1940-1950, and with an
increase of 66.2 per cent in ur-
ban population. The great
shift of rural to urban popula-
tion consisted primarily of re-
moval of tenant farmers to in-
dustrial centers.
Figures presented in the new
Texas Almanac show compar-
able gains in civic, educational
and cultural activities. Changes
in the public school system af-
ter two years under the. Gilmer-
Aikin Act are presented, in-
cluding tables giving data on
all independent and common
school districts.
About 10,000 subjects are
covered in the new volume, in-
cluding Texas history, popula-
tion, government, politics and
elections. n a t u r a 1 resources,
weather, crops and livestock,
trade. transportation, finance,
commercial services, recreation
and athletics. A pronounciation
guide to names' of Texas coun-
ties. cities and towns is in-
cluded. The new state senator-
ial and .representative districts
are shown.
All articles and maps for the
254 Texas counties have been
revised to include new high-
ways and othr developments. A
large folded map gives detail
in four colors, including high-
ways' and railroads.

William J. Rogers, Regional
Director of the Labor Depart-
ment's Wage and Hour and Pub-
lic Contracts Divisions for five
Southwestern states; said that
while his investigators had
found some violations, most re-
port indicated that farmers
generally were complying with
the law and that, as good citi-
zens. they wanted to comply with
it:.; j
Some newspapers, he said, are;
reported to have given the er-
roneous impression that viola-
tion of the law subjected viola-
tors to a minimum fine of
$i 0.000. That, he pointed out,
is the maximum assessment un-
der the law and it can only be
assessed by a Federal court.
"We understand that penal-
lies provided by the law have
been imposed elsewhere in the
United States" he said "but no
employer of farm labor in this
region has been fined for viola-
tion of this provision of the
law." *
Rogers said he hoped that rec-
ord of good citizenship in thei

As. Your Chiidren" which will
be heard over the Texas Quality
Network and other Texas and
New Mexico stations.
This is one of a series of
weekly radio programs spon-
sored by the Methodist Home at
Waco, Texas and depicting the
life of the mare than 400 chil-
dren who live at the home. The
programs are heard at 8:15 each
Sunday morning.
Hubert Johnson, superinten-
dent of the home, said that
planned recreation and health
building activities would be the
subject of a skit to be pre-
sented by the children. Talcing

ins rightful place in society.
The 'Methodist Home will ob-
serve its Gist, anniversary in No-
vember, Mr. Johnson said.
