Yarborough said the governor in
recent days has hired "slander
teams to invade all rural areas of
the state and cast reflections upon
my good name.”
"I have never seen these people
and they have never seen me,” he
said, 'but they are well paid and
thy are dishing out rumors and
untruths such as never before in
the history of Texas politics.”
Oil Company Accused
Yarborough also accused an un-
named oil company of "i l legally"
spending $50,000 for "drive safely”
highway signs that carry the name
and picture of Governor Shivers.
The big signs are scattered on ma-
jor highways throughout the state.

These same arguments, no
doubt, were used when progres-
sive citizens advocated a by-
pass for the cities of New
Braunfels and San Marcos a
few years ago when they were
about the same size Brenham
is today. But if Mr. Dempsey
and the others who sincerely
fear the results of a by-pass
around Brenham will take the
trip the Chamber of Commerce
has proposed to be taken to
these and other cities, he will
see at first hand the results
and, we think, allay his fears.
He will, find these two cities
pretty lively corpses, indeed. As
far as losing the profitable
traffic of automobiles, we have
already lost that to other and
better routes. We can only hope
to gain it back by co-operat-

ignores Third Term Issue
Shivers, who has virtually ignor-
ed the third term issue raised so
frequently by Yarborough,, told his
San Antonio audiehce why he
sought another term.
"The temptation was great not
to run again," the*governor said.
The tidelands had been won for
Texas, but "a more important de-
cision remained unsettled.”
'That decision was this: Will the
people of Texas support a governor
who places principles ahead of pol-
itics?"
Shivers will buy this one," he said. Brownwood for a night rally. He

the "attempted assassination of an
anti-government editor, Carlos La-

Thre of Vargas’ now-disbanded
presidential guards were involved
in the murder. The killing and at-
tempted assassination touched off
anti-Vargas riots earlier this
month and only two days ago 30
Army officers joined in demand-

Vargas agreed about 7 a.m. (4

home on a "leave of absence” for
90 days, leaving 'the government
in the hands of Vice President Joao

- 11-Mile Long Loop
The engineer estimates that the
loop would be 11 miles long with
a 300-foot right-of-way which
would be large enough for a four
or six lane highway with service
roads on either side. This would
mean the county would have to
purchase about 400 acre* of land.
Estimating the cost of the land
at $1,000 an acre, (including
damages) this would means

If that much money were not
needed than all of the bonds
would not have to be sold.
The Highway Department
would in turn spend about $5 mil-
lion in building the loop, Hed-
ick said.
Project Approved
The local engineer said it was
his understanding that the High-
way Department has approved
the Brenham by pass and that
funds would be made available
for its construction if the county
furnishes the right-of-way.
Another county project which
has been approved by the state
is the widening of Highway 36
north of Brenham to the Burleson
County line. Hedick estimates
this project will cost $500,000 for
construction. It would include
widening of the road surface from
the present 18 feet to 24 feet and
the straightening out of a jbad
curves near the Yegua Creek.
The county would have to fur-
nish the added right-of-way on
the 12-mile stretch and move
back the fences, all of which the
engineer believes would cost some
$15,000.
The Highway 36 widening pro-
gram would be Included in the
1955-56 state projects if the coun-
ty furnishes the ROW.
