NEW YORK (AP) - Proof

few days ago by Lord Mancroft,
deputy chairman of Cunard, the
big British shipping concern:

job is to try and export the

NEW YORK-Former Presi-
dent Eisenhower says that if his
doctors permit him, he’ll go to
Vietnam as an emissary of
Lyndon B. Johnson.
“I disagree with President
Johnson just about 100 percent
on his domestic policies,” Ike
told me some time ago at the
Brown Palace Hotel in Denver.
“But I’m with him all the way
on Vietnam."
If he can make it, the sep-
tuagenarian former comman-
der-in-chief will be furrowing
familiar ground. He went to Ko-
xea in December, 1952, in re-
sponse to a campaign pledge
to try to do something about
wrapping up that war.
It was a unique mission. For
the first time, the U.S. was will-
ing to settle for a draw; nothing
less, nothing more. If the North
Koreans and the Red Chinese
“volunteers" would call jt quits
at or near the 38th parallel,
well, that would be okay with
the incoming Eisenhower ad-
ministration.
Before that, we were a nation
that had followed a policy of
unconditional surrender of the
enemy in the greatest war of

Londn.
“When my real age was dis-

When military authorities
caught up with her, she was en-
rolled in the Royal Academy of

persuaded them to let her re-
main in England as her ward.
In the years since then Lois

Tadpole watching is nowhere near as entertain-
ing as girl watching but if the latter is not immedi-
ately available men such as me may engage In a
bit of the former!
I did last Sunday morning at a place on Link
Avenue whch has come to be referred to in my
neighborhood as Tadpole Gulch.
The ladies in our compound don’t make a prac-
tice of swimming and sunbathing during the morn-
ing hours on Sunday, So I have begun a practice of

taking a walk’during that period
As a rule, the only other person stirring at that
time is our early rising landlady, Fannie Thigpen.
In fact, she gets up and takes a walk before I do.
That caused me a bit of embarrassment last
Sunday- because when I opened the front door to
get the newspaper — barefooted and in flaming
red pajamas — Fannie was just passing the
entrance.
She already has the only picture in existence of
me in a bathing suit and r‘m glad she wasn’t
carrying her camera when we h that encoun-
ter. Especiolly if the camera, had been loaded
with color film.
Be that as it may, I read, the newspaper, changed

Actually, Miss Maxwell is an

But she has won such screen
fame as Miss Moneypenny, the
slender, beautiful, superefficient

submerge her own identity.
Lois has been in five of the
films, based on the late Ian
Fleming’s espionage novels.
The latest is "You Only Live

The series has made Lois
something of a heroine to secre-

that he wanted to get rid of the
dowdy old ladies, sell them if
possible to the United States.
The alternative: scrap.
This is quite a contrast to the
uproarious welcome given the
Queen Mary as she cruised into
New York Harbor on June 1,
1936, acclaimed then as mon-
. arch of the seas.
Such an inglorious and abrupt
disposition of the two great
ships results from the simple
but embarrassing reason that
they haven't been paying their
board for several years.
Cunard, their owner, once
earned $7 million a year on the
queens and their sister ships.
They dominated the North
Atlantic passenger routes, over
which more than a million trav-
elers were carried in 1957, the
year before the big jet airliners
arrived.
Cunard concedes that it can-
not compete head-on .with the
jets. It does not, however, fore-
see the end of its passenger
traffic altogether. But It does
feel the dowdy queens are
waltzing when they should be
swinging.
In response to his appeal,
Lord Mancroft said more than
300 offers have been received
for the 81,000-ton Queen Mary,
which is to be retired this fall.
The Queen Elizabeth will sail an
additional year.
The fate of the queens now
depends on which of 10 "viable”
offers are accepted. Among
these are two that give a hint of
the possible, fate of the,Queen
Mary. -
One of these, reportedly, is
from Export Consultants, Inc.,
of Atlanta, Ga., which would
make the ship a floating trade
center for the promotion of
American gifts. The offer: $2.25
million.
personnel.
Texas was brought under the provisions
of Title 19 of the federal Medicare Act. This
program, known as Medicaid will provide
state and federal assistance for medical care
of indigents not old enough to qualify for
Medicare.
State funds for higher education ‘ were
increased by 26 percent with a major share
of the new money appropriated for a hike
in junior college spending from $13.6 to $24.4
million.
Although defeated on minimum - wage
legislation and workmen's compensation law
revision, labor came to terms with manage-
ment on a compromise industrial safety act
and an increase in unemployment compensa-
tion benefits from a maximum’ of $37 to $45
a week.
Major parts of Connally's recommended
highway safety program were approved.
These include a new driver’s license act, an
auto inspection bill and establishment of a
traffic program to be administered by the
governor.
Another Texas legislative first, an act to
require open meetings of governmental
agencies at all levels, was signed into law
by the governor who termed it “a great step
forward to provide a - means whereby the
public can be more informed on govern-
mental and public affairs.”
And in connection with all this, a com-
-mendation is due our state senator, D. Roy
Harrington, and representative, Clyde
Haynes Jr., for an outstanding job of look-
ing after the interests of our area during the
60th Legislature.

TELEPMONES:
Much accomplished; much left undone.
That, in a nutshell, is the record of the 60th
Texas Legislature which concluded its
regular session this week.
It was an historic session in a number of
respects, most notable of which was the fact
that budgeting of state expenditures was on
a one-year rather than the customary two-
year basis.
No state taxes were increased and no new®
taxes were voted. As a matter of fact, there
was one little - publicized tax reduction.
Starting in 1969, Texas corporations will
experience a phaseout of the present fran-
chise, tax on their long-term debt.
However, the no-tax-increase record of
the 60th legislature was accomplished only
by resorting to a bookkeeping .gimmick
which funded about $18 million of the
teacher pay increase.
That money, in effect, was “borrowed"
from the 1968-69 revenues and "will be one
of a number of factors to be considered
during a special session next year at which
a tax increase is almost certain to be
approved.
And the teacher pay hike voted by the
lawmakers will mean a tax increase in
many of the state’s school districts. They
must raise about $12 million in extra money
from their tax rolls in order to meet local
requirements stemming from the higher
state teacher pay schedule.
Insofar as our area is concerned, one of
the legislature’s outstanding achievements
was the passage of a number of bills improv-
ing the state’s water program.
On the other side of the coin is a dismal
record on legislation to ease the financial
pressures on our city and county govern-
ments. This, however, was not entirely the
fault of the lawmakers.
Lobbyists for the city governments pushed
hard for only one measure — a permissive
municipal sales tax—and they got it. But at
this point in time that law is absolutely
valueless to cities of our area.
Gov. John Connally, acting on recom-
mendations of the Texas, Research League,
presented an excellent program on behalf
of the county governments. County judges
and commissioners from the more populous
areas torpedoed that due to fear that it
