AUSTIN, April 4.—(UP)—The
$38,000,000 natural gas pipeline tax
bill was sent to the Texas senate
today after the lower chamber
late yesterday passed the measure
by a 77 to 27 vote.
It was the first tax legislation
passed by the house this session.
Approval had been blocked for sev-
eral weeks by vigorous opposition.
The measure was proposed by
Rep. C. S. McLellan of Eagle Lake.
Designed to pay for a $2,000 mini-
mum annual teacher salary and for
farm to market road projects, the
bill carries a levy of 185 cents
per thousand cubic feet of natural
gas.
Tax supporters spearheaded ac-
tion to lock in members of a "call
of the house” after the day’s work
was threatened by lack of enough
members to transact business
Several attempts to adjourn un-
til next Monday or Tuesday were
beat down when sergeants at arms

SNYDER, April/4.—New presi-
dent of the Widwest Firemen's as-
sociation is Leonard Henderson of
Colorado City, former first vice
president of the organization, who
was selected at the semi annual
convention here Thursday.
Next meeting of the association
will be held in October at Colorado
City.
Other officers elected include:
Walter Crider. Post, first vice presi-
dent; J C Hall, Loraine, second
vice president; and J. Parker
Sharp. Merkel, secretary.
Representatives from 20 cities
in the area heard Railroad Com-
missioner Olin Culbertson as the
principal speaker. Other speakers
included Chief D. C. Musick of Abi-
lene, Chief Ace Forgary of Sweet-
water and Chief Crocker of Big
Spring.
returned to the house enough mem-
bers to have a quorum of 100 or
more. The “call of the house” then
was kept on until all bills up for
third reading and final disposal
were acted on.
The tax measure passed without
difficulty, but house members, in-
cluding proponents would not pre-
dict possible senate action.
The lower chamber also passed
to Governor Beauford Jester the
second restrictive labor bill within
two days.
The measure, which would pro-
hibit picketing of public utilities
which would interfere with service,
was approved by a 111 to 3 voice
vote.
Authorized by Sen Ben Ramsey
of San Augustine, the measure had
already passed the upper chamber.
It declares it to be state policy
“that the wilful interruption or
stoppage of such service by any
person or group of persons is a
public calamity which cannot be
endured.”
The house Wednesday sent to
Jester’s office the “right to work
bill” outlawing union closed shop.
Veterans Outnumber
Non-Vets in College
DALLAS. April 4.— (UP) —It

ment stands at 54,462 veterans and
44,287 non-veterans. The report
said also that men now outnumber
women on Texas campuses more
than two to one.
Retail trade accounts for nearly
one-third of the total cost of dis-
tributing goods.
Forest fires in Australia are be-
ing attacked by chemical bombs
weighing 450 pounds.

The Christian is Happy
Getting things does not make a
full life. Many a millionaire has an
empty existence, with all kinds of
outward magnifience, but an ap
palling lack of happiness within
A truly full life gives out from
itself continually, like a fountain
fed by never-failing springs. That
is Christ’s teaching, and he leads
us toward fullness of life.
