1. The Chief executive said it
was disappointing that 37 B-52 In-
tercontinental bombers had to be
rejected by the Air Force because
of mechanical defect. But he said
it was not proper to use the
strength of the Air Force as a
single measuring standard against
the air power of Russia. He point-
ed out that the United States has
the most powerful navy in the
world and this power currently
features naval air strength which
has not yet been outied for the

“Sometimes the things that a

ever done to advance the cause

The President said he was not
conversant with all of Chotiner’s
testimony, but he wanted report-

specific orders:

with the government should be

said his doctors told him that he
could continue on his present
schedule indefinitely. He said that
if he is re-elected, he plans to re-

cial duties which be dropped after
his heart attack.

ocratic charge that he was dele-
gating his powers. He said no
President can delegate constitution-
al authority and he never had any
intention of doing so. Mr. Eisen-
hower said someone else in his ad-
ministration might make a de-
cision, but he is the one who has
to take the final responsibility.
4. He advised caution in Con-
gressional consideration of any
constitutional amendment for a 25
per cent limit on income taxes.
Mr. Elsenhower said the common
sense of America ought to find
some proper limitation on taxes
to avoid concentration of tax au-
thority in federal hands to the det-
riment of state and local govern-
ments. But he was concerned
about what a constitutional limi-
tation might do to federal finances
in event of a national emergency.
5. He did not like the form of
the new farm bill passed Thurs-
day by the House, but said he
would have to base his final Judg-
ment on the measure as it leaves
Congress after final passage. The
President said he had not studied
the new bill in detail but he un-
derstood it was poor legislation ad-
ministratively, and would require

Milk Price Up Cent
Per Quart in City
An Increase in milk prices for
three companies operating in the
Brownwood area was announced
this morning, along with a re-
duction in the price of cream.
The increase amounts to one
cent per quart and is the result
of an increase In price of milk
to handlers which was ordered
by the Department of Agriculture,
effective May 1, a spokesman for
the companies said.
Price of milk from the pro-
ducer was raised, ranging from
46 to 65 cents per 100 pounds
in the Department of Agricul-
ture’s action. This price increase
esme about as a result of the
extreme drouth conditions which
have prevailed for the past sev-
eral years, the high cost of feed
and increasing cost of other oper-
ating equipment.
Increases were announced earl-
ier this week in other cities of
Texas.

tion at noon today. This is 1.9

cord level of 1431.4, or 6.4 over

In other political developments:
1. Lt. Gov. Ben Ramsey paid
349 on behalf of C. T. Johnson,
his opponent for re-election, in or-
der to hasten the trial of a suit
Johnson filed against Ramsey.
The 349 fee was required in order
to have the suit transferred from
Austin to San Augustine, but
Ramsey said Johnson had "made
no effort in four months" to pay
the fee for his "so-called 330.000
suit." The suit charges Ramsey
violated the election code two
years ago.
2. A grand jury investigation
was set for May 16 at Edinburg
into the activities of the Rio

sored a campaign early in the

2 P.M. Saturday
Liveliest action and heavi-
est attendance on record is
predicted at Democratic pre-
cinct conventions in Brown
County Saturday by Dr.
Thomas H. Taylor, chairman
of the County Democratic
Executive Committee since
1920.
Conventions have been called
for 2 p.m. Saturday in each of
the 25 voting precincts of the
county, with the convention sites
at the regular polling places.
Dr. Taylor termed the precinct
sessions as “the most important
since 1912, when Woodrow Wil-
son, Champ Clark and Governor
Harmon of Ohio were in a hot
battle for the Democratic nomi-
nation."
Delegates will be named at the
precinct meetings for county
Democratic conventions that will
be held 2 p.m. Tuesday in the
district courtroom, where county
delegates will be named to the
state convention in Dallas on May
22. The national convention will
be held in the summer at Chi-
cago.
The statewide battle between
Governor Allan Shivers and Sen-
ator Lyndon Johnson for chair-
manship of the Texas delegation
will be reflected in action which
is bound to erupt moments after
the precinct sessions are called
to order by appointive chairmen,
listed below.
First local battles will come
over the Issue of electing tem-
porary chairmen to conduct the
preemmet meetings, with Johnson
and Shivers supporters ready to
offer their own candidates.
Credentials probably will be
checked to determine eligibility
for participation In action at the
precinct meetings.
In most precincts, both sides
will be prepared to submit res-
olutions.
Shivers supporters probably
will call for uninstructed dele-
gates, and in some instances
without a pledge to support the
Democratic nominee.
Johnson supporters probably
will offer resolutions calling for
delegates to back Johnson under

In a prepared statement, Shiv-
ers reminded his supporters that
Johnson "says I am a Republi-
can. Admittedly, I did not vote
for his man Stevenson In 1952;
otherwise I have always voted the
straight Democratic ticket. I con-
sider myself a Democrat.
"But I will say this frankly: “I
am not a Johnson-Rayburn brass-
collar yellow-dog Democrat. I
have too high a regard for my
party and my state, and for the
privilege and responsibility of
casting a free vote, to turn my
vote over to Rayburn and John-
son for delivery to Walter Reu-
ther (President of the UAW-
CIO)."

ly predicted victory in Saturday's
contest and reminded workers
“we want to win legally.”
