Only the Wealthy
Negro Confirmed
In High U. S. Post
WASHINGTON.— The Senate Fri-
day confirmed J. Ernest Wilkins, Ne-
gro attorney of Chicago, as assistant
secretary of labor in charge of inter-
national affairs.
Wilkins is the first Negro to take
such a high government post in forty
years.
Wilkins is sixty years old, and a
Republican. He has been serving as
vice-chairman of the President’s
committee on government contracts
since August, 1953. The committee’s
purpose is to prevent discrimination
in employment in any government
contract work.
Sheriff Woody Blanton has served
warning on those who dump trash
along, highways.
“Charges will be filed against each
violator caught by this department,”
Sheriff Blanton said. “It is a serious
violation because it creates a health
hazard.”
The sheriff advised county resi-
dents that proper places, such as the
city dump grounds, are provided for
dumping trash and garbage.
“It’s no more trouble to drive to
the dump grounds than it is to get
out of town on the highway to un-
load the trash,” Blanton reminded.
Blanton said he had received the
license number of several vehicles
from which trash was dumped Sun-
day and Monday. He said his de-
partment will check each one and
file charges where possible.
WASHINGTON. — The Air Force
took the wraps off Lazy Dog—one of
the newest weapons—Tuesday.
Lazy Dog is a bit of steel, one and
five-eighths inches long and weigh-
ing slightly more than half an ounce.
It is shaped like a miniature torpedo,
with fins on the tail to control its
flight. It is nonexplosive.
In combat, Lazy Dogs could be
shoveled out of a plane over enemy
concentrations, or a bomb could ex-
plode them over front-line troops.
Both French and German pilots
used similar steel darts against
ground targets in World War I.
A spokesman 'said the pointed bit
of weighted steel has the pentrating
power of a .45 caliber bullet when
dropped at an altitude of about 5,000
feet.

Teachers Pay Clears
Committee
AUSTIN. — The compromise plan
to increase teachers’ pay easily
cleared a Senate committee Wednes-
day. The education committee voted
unanimously for the bill drawn up
by a state-wide committee named
jointly by Gov. Allan Shivers and the
Texas State Teachers Association. It
is designed to wipe out the main dif-
ferences on school financing which
existed a year ago.
Meanwhile, the House committee
on revenue and taxation set for pub-
lic hearing next week bills to provide
money for the pay boost.

The County Line Singing Conven-
tion will be held at 2:00 p. m. at Bells
Sunday, according to L. L. Wendell,
who says, “We think this will be an-
other good one, as Bells is located
about the center of those who sing.
Singers from Heburn, Ambrose,
Dripping Springs, Cherry Mound,
Cannon, Bethel and Whitewright will
be in attendance. If you sing, we
urge you to come. If you do not sing,
we also urge you to come. Let’s fill

Harold Doss, deputy tax collector
for automobile licenses, said at noon
yesterday that he had issued license
plates for only 238 automobiles. This
is less than half the number regis-
tered by him last year, and indicates
that a lot of people still have this
chore to attend to.
The local automobile tag office, set
up in Whitewright by Tax Officer Iva
Davidson for the convenience of the
automobile owners of this area,
makes a trip to Sherman unnecessary
and represents quite a saving in time
and money for motorists.
If you haven’t bought your new li-
cense plates, Mr. Doss would appre-
ciate your doing so at once in order
to avoid a big rush at month’s end.
Deadline for registering your car is
March 31. Place: The City Hall.
Also, the deadline for safety in-
spection of your car is March 31. If
you don’t have that safety inspection
sticker on your windshield on April
1, .you will be subject to prosecution.
This has nothing to do with the pur-
chase of your license plates, how-
ever. Under the original safety in-
spection law, it was necessary to
have an inspection sticker before a
license plate could be obtained, but
the 1952 Legislature ruled out this
requirement.

COMMERCE. — Approximately 60
persons attended the In-Service Edu-
cation meeting for teachers of voca-
tional agriculture at East Texas State
. „ The ses-
sion was the first of three on newer
practices in cotton production.
Attending from Whitewright was
E. J. Morgan, teacher of vocational
agriculture.
“Acre yields and income from cot-
ton in many communities of north
and northeast Texas can be doubled
if the majority of farmers will put
improved cotton production practices
into operation,” C. B. Spencer, agri-
cultural director of the Texas Cotton-
seed Crushers Association, stated.
Spencer pointed out that a combi-
nation of good practices was neces-
sary to assure success in producing
cotton. Application of commercial
fertilizers may bring no profit unless
a good insect control program is car-
ried out, he declared.
“In the same way, an effective in-
sect control program on many farms
is of little value unless additional soil
nutrients are supplied,” he said.
- Dow Porter, agronomist of the U.
S. Cotton Field station at Greenville,
was another speaker. “The farmer
who expects to harvest his crop me-
chanically should discontinue the use
of his hill-drop planter and go back
to the old solid drill type,” he de-
clared. Thick uniform stands are
needed for successful operation of
cotton strippers. It is also advisable
for farmers who expect to harvest
with strippers to plant an adapted
stripper variety, he concluded.
Additional meetings in the series
will be held March 20 and May 8.
Cotton insects and their control will
be the subject of the March 20 ses-
sion, and Dr. V. A. Little, professor
of entomology at Texas A&M College,
will be featured speaker.
COLLEGE STATION. — March
freezes have just about wiped out
Texas’ peach crop, a survey con-
ducted here Monday revealed.
Fruit authorities in all the major
peach-growing areas of the state
were contacted Monday and the news
was bad for both growers and con-
sumers of Texas 'peaches.
Temperatures dropped below
freezing last week and again Sunday
and Monday mornings and hit
peaches a hard blow.
Extension Service Horticulturists
Bluford Hancock, John Hutchison
and J. F. Roseborough checked the
fruit area and said there was little
chance of the state making as much
as 10 percent of the normal crop.
Texas annually produces more than
1,000,000 bushels of peaches and oft-
en reaches 2,000,000.
The freeze damage will inflict se-
vere economic blows to peach grow-
ers, who have made only one crop in
the past four years, the horticultur-
ists said.
Only major area not hit to the
breaking point is the Stonewall sec-
tion in Gillespie County which an-
nually produces some of the state’s
finest peaches.
C. P. Dawson, local butane gas
dealer, has customers using butane
for heating, cooking and operating
tractors, but he doesn’t have a cus-
tomer like the one found in Lamar
County last week by Texas Liquor
Control Board inspectors. At least,
he doesn’t know it if he has such a
customer.
Officers arrested a man in his bam
near Red River where they said he
was busy cooking off a batch of
whisky, using butane gas for fuel.
Old-time “revenuers” used to spot
moonshine stills along Red River by
watching for telltale smoke. But
modern moonshiners are using mod-
ern methods, making it more diffi-
cult to spot their illicit stills.
It has been estimated that there
is as much illicit liquor distilled in
the United States as there is legal
liquor on which federal and states
taxes are paid.

WASHINGTON. — House Demo-
cratic Leader Sam Rayburn of Texas
told the nation Tuesday night Pres-
ident Eisenhower’s tax program
would give six times as much relief
to upper income brackets as to the
great bulk of taxpayers.
Rayburn, in a statement on radio
and television, assailed the Republi-
can program as a revival of the phil-
osophy that special benefits for the
wealthy “may eventually trickle
down to the great majority.”
But in actual practice, he said, lit-
tle or nothing ever trickles down.
Rayburn said that is why House
Democrats are fighting to amend the
GOP-sponsored tax revision program
to increase individual income tax ex-
emptions for each taxpayer and each
dependent by $100. In the Senate,
Sen. Walter George (Dem.) of Geor-
gia -is proposing a $200 increase this
years and $400 next.
Raybui'n urged the $100 boost “so
that you and every taxpayer in this
country will get real tax relief.”
Rayburn and two other Democrat-
ic Congress members took to the air
to answer an address by President
Eisenhower Monday night, denounc-
ing the Democratic tax-cutting plan
as unsound and politically inspired.
Mr. Eisenhower said the $2,400,-
000,000 annual loss in revenue from
the Democratic proposal would be a
serious blow to the government and
would undermine the “corner-stone”
of his domestic program.
The GOP is pushing a tax revision
bill which would cost the Treasury
about $1,400,000,000 a year as it now
stands. It overhauls most of the ex-
isting tax laws and provides for more
liberal deductions for many items
ranging from medical expenses and
retirement income to dividends and
business depreciation.
Mr. Eisenhower contends this is as
far as the government should go at
the present time. He says the bill
would benefit millions of individuals
and encourage “the growth and ex-
pansion of industry, the creation of
jobs.”
Rayburn, who was speaker of the
House longer than any other man in
history when the Democrats were in
power, spoke on the eve of House de-
bate Wednesday on the critical elec-
tion-year tax issue.
He was joined by Senator George,
senior Democrat on the Senate fi-
nance committee, and Rep. Jere
Cooper (Dem.) of Tennessee, ranking
Democrat on the House ways . and
means committee.
A few hours earlier, House Speak-
er Joseph Martin (Rep.) of Massa-
chusetts said after a two-and-a-half-
hour closed-door caucus of Republi-
can House members he was confident
the Democratic drive for an exemp-
ANN ARBOR, Mich.—Dr. Jerome
W. Conn of the University of Michi-
gan Medical School says that a candy
bar or soft drink is the wrong cure
for mid-afternoon hunger pangs.
“It would be much better to take
a glass of milk instead,” says Dr.
Conn. “Meat, eggs and cheese would
also be all right.”
He said that-“hunger-like feeling”
in the pit of the stomach frequently is
the result of a condition known med-
ically as “spontaneous hypoglyce-
mia.”
This condition, he said, signifies an
excess of insulin in the body. He
said a candy bar increases the flow
of insulin, but the protein in milk or
meat counteracts it.
Robert DeBerry of Whitewright
was one of the award winners at the
meeting of the Grayson County Ag-
ricultural Club held at Sherman last
week. Young DeBerry, son of Mr.
and Mrs. R. H. DeBerry, received an.
award for hybrid corn production.
Some 80 .farmers, business men and
industrialists turned out for the
meeting, at which A. B. Jolly, radio
and farm editor of the Dallas Times
Herald, was the principal speaker.
Johnny Schmitt of Dorchester was
elected president of the club. Foy
Wallace of Gunter, retiring president,
was elected vic-president, and Nick
Owen, county agent, secretary and
treasurer.
Elected to the club’s board of di-
rectors for two years were C. B.
Bryant III and John Trammell, both
of Whitewright; Carl Fink of Potts-
boro, Freeman Carney and Charles
Sherrard, both of Denison, Bill Den-
nard of Whitesboro, Leon Huff .of
Sherman and Schmitt.
Holdover directors are John Hynds
of Van Alstyne, John Perry and Nick
Owen ‘of Sherman, R. T. Rains of

wright, Foy Wallace of Gunter, J. K.
Williams of Denison and O. L. Yowell
of Sherman.
hen E. Senterfitt. Buchanan said this
would merely provide a framework
for revising tax rates.
Governor Shivers suggested the
only “certain” way of increasing
taxes on natural gas, without possi-
bility of another court defeat, would
be to boost present production taxes,
now netting over $23,000,000 a year.
But he favors trying a new tax on
“gathering.” Shivers will offer a
specific bill on this subject, which
legal experts consider constitutional,
he said.
The proposed franchise tax in-
crease would be shared by all corpo-
rations, Shivers noted.
“The federal income tax on corpo-
rations being what it is today, Uncle
Sam will pick up the tab for 52 per-
cent of the check,” he added.f
The Governor said there is no dis-
agreement on the need for increasing
teachers’ pay, and the proposal writ-
ten by a state-wide committee “will
mot represent a ‘victory’ for anyone
—except for the deserving teachers
of Texas and . . . for all the school
children.”

Eavesdropping On
Rural Party-Line
May Be Stopped
NEW YORK. — Eavesdropping on
rural tellphone party-line conversa-
tions may become a thing of the past
if experiments near Americus, Ga.,
meet the expectations of Bell Tele-
phone Laboratories engineers.
The engineers plan to try out a
transistorized telephone system there
which will permit several conversa-
tions to Le carried over a single line
without mixup. As a
eavesdropping will do.
The principle already is used on
long-distance networks. But until
the tiny transistor was developed—
making it possible to do the job
electronically at a fraction of the
usual cost—the method was uneco-
nomical on a local basis.
Now the engineers believe they
can make transistors work economi-
cally on lines as short as five miles.
When Mrs. Jones calls Mrs. Smith,
the conversation will be transmitted
on the line at one frequency. If Mrs.
Brown, who shares Mrs. Jones’ line,
decides at that moment to call the
grocer, her conversation will be put
on another frequency.
The callers will not have to worry
about getting on the right frequency.
This will be taken care of automati-
cally by the tiny battery-powered
transistors mounted on the telephone
poles.
The conversations will be sorted
properly at the line’s terminal.
Bell engineerss worked out the sys-
tem in collaboration with five oper-
ating telephone companies and the
Western Electric Co.
Garden plants, shrubs and fruit
trees were nipped Saturday night and
Sunday night when the temperature
dipped below the freezing
This was the second March
that followed summer-like tempera-
tures. Temperature early Sunday
morning was 26 degrees, and water
in open containers outside houses,
such as bird-baths, was frozen solid-
ly. These same conditions prevailed
again Monday morning.
The first freeze came during the
“dark” of the moon, while this week’s
found the moon in the “light” stage.
Old-timers say a dark-of-the-moon
freeze won’t kill vegetation, but a
light-of-the-moon freeze will. It did.
Another school of thought has this in
reverse order.
There has been no rainfall in sev-
eral weeks, and that is the area’s
greatest need right now. Much of the
corn has already been planted, but
some farmers are waiting for rain to
plant. If the rain doesn’t come in
time to plant corn, they plan to plant
combine maize instead.
Much of Texas is worse off than
this area from a drouth standpoint,
however. While this area was get-
ting good winter rains, most parts of
the state got little or none. Drouth
conditions in West Texas have
reached the point where non-irriga-
tion farmers are desperate, and some
counties have asked for help.
With Ike getting blamed for the
current business recession (because
he stopped the Korean war), maybe
he will soon be blamed for
drouth, too.

Singing Convention
AUSTIN.—Gov. Allan Shivers told
Texas legislators Monday he thinks
business, beer and natural gas should
□raise $25,600,000 to pay better sala-
ries to teachers and state employees.
The Governor suggested:
1. At least $14,000,000 a year more
taxes on natural gas. . . . He sug-
gested a rate of one-half cent per
thousand cubic feet on a new “gath-
ering” tax to replace the levy re-
cently declared invalid by the United
States Supreme Court.
2. Adding 63c a barrel to the tax
on beer, now.$1.37 a barrel. This
would add $3,000,000 tax on this
product annually.
3. Increasing from $1.25 to $2 the
tax on each thousand dollars of cor-
porate assets. This would boost state
.franchise taxes by $8,600,000 a year.
“It is merely one plan,” Shivers
told the lawmakers. “If you do not
like it, I hope you will get a suitable
plan of your own.”
A few hours before, State Comp-
troller Robert S. Calvert gave the
jheartening report that there was
enough surplus revenue from the
general fund to pay $10,687,500 in
.state institutional improvements.
Rep. Joe Pool of Dallas, meanwhile,
dropped in the hopper his bill raising
the beer tax to $10 a barrel.
“The increase the Governor
poses is not enough,” Pool said,
ought to be doubled or tripled, at
least.”
D. H. Buchanan of Longview, tax
committee chairman, will sponsor a
□recodification of all tax laws drawn
up at the suggestion of Speaker Reu-
er another local couple, Mr. and Mrs.
S. E. Bledsoe of 500 Rike street re-
ported that two women, posing as re-
ligious workers forced their way into
ttyeir home.
After “pushing their way in,” the
women demanded Mr. Bledsoe’s bill-
fold. The puzzled Bledsoe showed
them his wallet, which contained $2.
The women asked if that was all the
money he had.
“Yes,” he answered,
have much money.”
The women then turned their at-
tention to a salt and pepper set, a
gift from the J" ’ ‘
They took the set, saying they would

“It is evident,” Beaver said, “that

thoroughly ‘cased’ before-hand. If
strangers do gain entry at your home,
please manage to detain them until
officers can be notified.”
Two other Farmersville women,
Mrs. N. B. Millican-and Mrs. S. H.

week before last.
School Lunch Menu
(Muenster Enterprise)
Reports on a recent meeting
Protestant educational leaders
Cincinnati offer a hope that, little by
little, religion will be given its prop-
er place in the American public
school system.
There has been more and more on
this subject in recent years. If the
trend keeps growing it is quite pos-
sible that it will start snow balling
in a few more years, after which
communities will start making ad-
justments and state educational head-
quarters will start giving their
okays. 1
One of the speakers at that gath-
ering hit the nail squarely on the
head when he declared “Our found-
ing fathers did not mean to insist up-
Sponsors for the^ clubs are^ Mrs. but rather sectarianism of religion
and education.”
The man is completely right in
that. There is evidence galore in the
records of those early days to prove
that religion and morality were the
prime considerations in founding
schools. Recognizing their depend-
ence on and responsibility to Al-
mighty God the early Americans
based their thinking on the convic-
tion that religion must be the very
foundation of a child’s training, an
essential ’to both personal and na-
tional welfare.
Our only trouble is that their suc-
cessors went to an extreme when
they applied the principle of religious
freedom to the public school system.
In their eagerness to avoid favoritism
to any one religion they decided that
no religion will be taught . . . ap-
parently thinking that each church
would supply that part of its mem-
bers’ education.
From the beginning Catholic lead-
ers expressed their disagreement
with that theory, and they have
backed up their convictions to the ex-
tent of providing their own schools
at considerable sacrifice to see that
religion gets its proper place in the
education of their children. All
along some Protestants expressed the
same opinions until now, fortunately,
the number seems about large
enough to start getting results.
An approach to their final solution
is already available in the released
time arrangement which was origi-
nated a few years ago for the benefit
of Catholic students in public schools.
During certain agreed periods the
students are granted time .to attend
religious classes away
school.
Protestants could do
thing, attending classes taught by
some qualified teacher of their own
denomination. Methodists, Baptists,
Episcopalians, all of them who can
arrange for instructors, could have
their released time classes at conven-
ient places away from school. That
satisfies the public school arrange-
ment and is also in keeping with the
best American traditions.
Of course, that is obviously only
the first step in the right direction.
When a sizable percentage of stu-
dents start following that routine
people are going to start harping on
the absurdity of sending hundreds of
children to their special teachers.
Why not allow the teachers to come
to them?
And why not? Can any person ad-
vance a good reason why each de-
nomination should not be permitted
to send a teacher to its students and
spend that released time in the pub-
lic school? After all the school is
there only for the welfare of the child
and religion is an essential factor in
its welfare.
For that matter, who can state def-
initely • that such an arrangement is
not in effect in some localities at this
very time? Considering all the sin-
cerely religious people serving on
school faculties, it is hard to imagine
that they would fail to present a nug-
get of religious teaching when the oc-
casion arises. Regardless of legality,
some denominational religion is be-
ing taught in public schools. Par-
ents know it and are glad. State edu-
cational heads probably know it al-
so, but they are not inclined to be
fussy as long as communities are hap-
py. Besides, they are also aware of
the need of religion in school.
As a matter of fact the state school
bosses practically invite the teaching
of sectarian religion in public schools.
They recognize Bible as an accred-
ited course. Theoretically it is a
strictly objective study, but anyone
knows that every teacher’s interpre-
tations will be influenced by his own
affiliation.
From the way things look now re-
ligion in public education is staging
its comeback. The trend is getting
stronger. The pendulum which
swung away from it is on the way
back. In time, maybe just a few
years, it will take its place openly
and prominently on the public school
curriculum.
When that happens America will
have returned to the ideals intended
by its founding fathers—that is, free-
dom of religion instead of freedom
from religion.
