AUSTIN—Selection oí a suc-
' cessor to Wright Morrow, Demo-
cratic National Committeeman
from Texas, is imminent. Be-
cause he voted for Eisenhower
for President in 1952, Morrow
was barred from serving on the
Democratic National Committee.
But, Gov. Allan Shivers doubts
that anyone can be found to fill
the prescription laid down by
Democratic National Chairman
Paul Butler.
It must be someone, Butler
told Shivers in his now famous
Washington "kitchen confer-
ence," who never bolted the par.
ty. It must be someone who
worked for Adlai Stevenson's
election. And it must be some-
one who can be approved by
Shivers, House Speaker Sam Ray-
bum, and Senator Lyndon John-
son.
Possibility of replacing Mor-
row became a by-product of ac-
tivity by top-level Democratic
and Republican figures in the
preliminary skii mish toward
Texas' role as a battlefield in the
1956 presidential contest.
Chairman Butler spent six days
in Texas, mostly under the guid-
ing hand of the "Democratic Ad-
visory Council," a group of lib-
eral-loyalists appointed to take
over Morrow's duties.
Butler declined an imitation
by Governor Shivers to visit the
executive mansion; Shivers did
not accept Butler's invitation to
come to some of his meetings.
Republican National Commit-
teeman Jack Porter followed But-
ler promptly with a state work-
ers' rally in Austin. He announc-
ed he was extending "not only
an inVitation, but a challenge"
to the conservative Democrats
who carried Texas for Eisenhow-
er, to join formally with the Re-
publicans.
Porter predicted that President
Eisenhower will be renominated,
will carry Texas, Florida, Vir-
ginia and Tennessee again —
and win in 1956.

Hone Culture Club Picnic Held
Friday Night at Powledge Home
he said, "were invited by Butler
to quit their party. They know
they will have no more say in
selecting a nominee next year
than in 1952 or 1948."
Porter believes the Democratic
party split is permanent.
Anderson Talked for
Governor
Resignation of Deputy Secre-
tary of Defense Robert L. Ander-
son of Vernon started specula-
tion whether he might figure in
next year's governor's race as
the conservatives' choice. Or pos.
sibly be in line for a place on
the national Democratic ticket.
This despite his service in a
Republican administration.
Another name that crops up
when conservatives are men-
tioned as likely candidates in
the governor's race is that of
Sen. Ottis Lock, of Lufkin. He
already has been referred to as
the "jet age candidate" since
his talk to the Jacksonville Ro-
tary Club last week.
Senator Lock pointed out the
need for streamlining state ad-
ministrative agencies; urged im-
provement in spending methods;
and "a sound, fair code protect-
ing each person from excessive
taxation."
With its population increasing
and its economy expanding Tex-
as can not meet its jet age gov-
ernmental needs with a Model-T
vehicle, he stated.
Johnson For President
There has been a remarkable
array of national comment, in
such publications as the Wall
Street Journal, Newsweek, and
the Washington Star, about Sen-
ate Majority Leader Lyndon
Johnson's success and his "avail-
ability" as the Democratic stand,
ard-bearer for President.
Governor Shivers himself came
back from Washington recently
praising Johnson, a loyalist.
A speech early in the week by
Governor Shivers, before the New
York Sales Executives Club, is
another in the national network
of his appearances in which he
restates the basic doctrine of the
dissident Dixie and conservative
Democrats.
Governor Shivers had pointed
suggestions for Texas schools,
faced with the US Supreme Court
desegregation decision.
"I do not think it necessary at
this time for any district to take
any step its board does not want
to take, beyond studying the
problem and its solution," he
said.
He will name a statewide com-
mittee, to study problems of the
desegregation ruling, and rec-
ommended that school districts
appoint their own committees.
According to the Governor, the
decision leaves a large measure
of control to local districts,
"where the problems should be
worked out."
Short Snorts
Efforts of former Land Com-
missioner Bascom Giles and of
B. R. Sheffield of Brady, to have
Travis County indictments in
veterans' land cases quashed
were rejected in district court.
Land Commissioner J. Earl
Rudder said he will start a
shakeup of the General Land
Office in July. His decision fol-
lows testimony in a lengthy
court of inquiry on the office's
operation under former Commis-
sioner Bascom Giles.
John C. White, commissioner
of Agriculture, denied that Texas
overspent by $162,670 federal
drought aid money in 1953—as
claimed by the US Department of
Agriculture.
Congressman Clark Thompson
and Homer Thornberry announc-
ed a tour of Central Texas coun-
ties, by a House Agriculture sub.
committee, to study acreage al-
lotments for rice and cotton.
Governor Shivers paid tribute
to Amon G. Carter as "one of the
most dynamic Texans of his gen-
eration." Carter, long-time pub-
lisher of the Fort Worth Star-
Telegram, died on June 23.
Trials for George B. Parr, south
Texas political czar—and 11 oth-
ers from Duval County—on char-
ges relating to school funds,
have been set for July 5 in New
, Braunfels, on change of venue,
i A Texas committee to plan the
state's part in the White House
Conference on Education, Nov.
28-Dec. 1, was named by Gov-
emor Shivers. Dr. Erwin L. Rip-
ply, president of the Dallas
School Boardr is chairman. Its
,first session will be in Austin.
