Chief Glen H. McLaughlin of the

Texas sheriffs and chiefs of police
indicated an estimated 1.056 mur-
ders and homicides from Jsnuary
through June.
Crimes of this nature in the first
half of 1951 totaled an estimated
573.
All types of crime except ag-
gravated assault ate on the in-
crease this year.
Reports for the first six months—
all estimated figures—show 551
rapes. 2.6 per cent more than for
the comparable 1951 period; 1,203
robberies, up 10 2 per cent; 15,402
burglaries, up 6 per cent; 30,896

.—I month, “Undoubtedly,

He dismissed the lite term ap-
pointments of the i_,_______
with the comment that “this de-
cision to give life tenure to any-
body in a particular office is . . .
not in keeping with either modern
thought or intelligent thought "
Then Nehru took a swipe at the
government’s annual 58-million-ru
pee ($12,180,000) pension payments
to the princes, termuig them “very
large, unnecessarily large ”
Princely pensions range from the
Nizam of Hyderabad’s five million
rupees ($l,050.p00) per year to the
192 rupees ($40) received by the
onetime ruler of Katodia, a tiny
section of the present state of
Sluraehtra.
In between are the Maharajah of
Mysore, who gets 2,600,000 rupees
($546,000). Gwalior with 2*^ mil-
lion rupees ($546,000) and Travan-
core Cochin with 1.800,000 ($378,-
000)
Article 291 of the Indian Consti-
tution specifically says all such
pensions "shall be exempt from
taxes on income."
It is this tax exemption which
most irks members of Nehru’s ma-
jority Congress party Many ob-
servers expect the Congress will
introduce legislation soon requiring
tax payments on the privy purses.

The man who for almost
years was at the core of Texas'
affairs is content right now with
playing his trade as a rancher in
Kimble County.
Texas wartime chiei executive—
he served from 1941 to 1947—does
most of the wark <n his 15,000-
acre ranch. Political matters lie
dormant, something to think about
two years from now when he’ll
again meet U. S Senator Lyndon
Johnson at the polls "if my health
permits.”

Fay Wright, died a few months aft-
er he took the oath of office and
moved into the governor’s man-
sion Although he remarked that
“the place sure needs a woman,”
Stevenson has shut himself into the
big, two-story house and away
from life in Junction, his home
town 20 miles from his ranch.
