"BATSMAN" FLAGS THEM IN-The light oí a British carrier-
based pilot's life is "Batsman," the collection of lights pictured
above. If adopted for general use by Western powers, it could
make the traditional signal officer with his illuminated paddles
obsolete. The central, adjustable, mirror-like device has a spot
of light projected on it from a source in the after part of the
carrier Incoming pilots keep the spot in apparent alignment
with a row of horizontal, stationary lights on each side of the
mirror The optical illusion of alignment guides the pilot safely
to the deck.

Sfafe CAPITOL
By VERN SANFORD
Texas Press Association
AUSTIN — Many Texas public
schools are holding integration
plans in abeyance pending ac-
tion by the State Supreme Court.
But there is no indication the
high court will rush to consider
the Big Spring test case ahead
of its normal schedule.
District court there ruled in-
valid that part of Texas law
which requires public schools to
be segregated. Appeal is being
made by the Texas Citizens
Council in an effort to prevent
payment of state money to non-
segregated schools.
Both sides had expressed hope
for an early decision before the
Supreme Court's October term.
Meanwhile, towns such as Wa-
co and Laredo, which had plan-
ned to begin desegregation this
fall, backed off rather than take
a "legal risk." Others, like San
Antonio, decided to go ahead,
but reserved the right to review
the policy in the light of new
state-level decisions.
Charter Request Studied
Application of the anti-inte-
gration Texas Citizens Council
for a state charter bumped into
a delay in the Secretary of
State's office.
Sec. of State A. M. Muldrow,
questioned whether the council's
organization is for a "lawful
purpose" in view of the Supreme
Court decision outlawing segre-
gation.
Muldrow said he might ask
the attorney general's depart-
ment for a ruling.
White Distrusts Red Visitors
• State Agriculture Commission,
er John C. White took a dim
view of the visiting Russian
farm delegation.
Farming methods are Ameri-
ca's greatest strength, White
said, but Russia's weakest ."We
might as well sell them guns,"
he declared.
In Washington officials were
undecided whether the Texans
who sold some 65 head of Santa
Gertrudis cattle to the visitors
would be allowed to export them
to Russia.
Touring Soviets expressed a
desire to buy farm machinery
seen in other parts of the coun-
try, but the Texas cattle deal
was the only actual purchase.
At present there is only a trickle

of trade between the two coun

State, Commerce and Foreign
Agriculture officials pondered
the decision, suggested that pub
lie opinion would be a strong
factor.
Record Employment Expected
Harvest and reopening of
schools are expected to bring
Texas new employment records
during September.
Public school cafeteria work-
ers will add thousands to the
payrolls, said the Texas Employ
ment Commission. A continued
rise is forecast through the fall.
A new high in the average
paycheck was hit in July, ac-
cording to TEC. Holiday over-
time plus wage increases brought
the boost.
Druggists Receive Vaccine
Texas druggists are having
their first experience in dispens-
ing Salk polio vaccine.
State Health Department offi-
cials reported 50,000 doses sent
to Texas last week by Wyeth
Laboratories of Pennsylvania. Of
these, 42,000 go to drug stores,
8,000 to the Health Department
for public agencies.
Some stores had already re-
ceived vaccine; others were still
awaiting their shipments.
Patients have been asked to
contact their doctors who will
buy through the retail outlets.
Texas' free immunization pro-
gram for first and second grade
school children is expected to be
completed by Oct. 1. Eli Lilly
Company of Indiana sent 144,603
more shots to Texas for that
purpose.
Health Department statistics
showed polio coming to its sea-
sonal slackening-off period. Only
80 new cases were reported last
week, compared to 98 the week
before. Total for the year is now
1195.
Business Peak Passed
Texas business expansion has
apparently passed a peak, but no
severe decline is expected.
Crest of the current rise was
in March, the University of Texas
Bureau of Business Research re-
ported. In July the business in-
dex dropped two per cent from
June.
Three factors, the UT econo-
mists believe, bar the possibility
of a major recession. They are
population growth, the rising
standard of living and the high
proportion of new investment be-
ing made in Texas.
Retaii sales, already at record
levels, are expected to soar fur-
ther, making this the largest
sales year.
Building boomed also, with a
January-July total almost one-
third greaiter than for 1954. A
two per cent drop in construc-
tion during July was considered
"seasonal."
Parr Trial Postponed
Trial site of George Parr on
charges of Income tax evasion
awaits action by the US Supreme
Court.
South Texas Political Boss Parr
last week won an indefinite post-
ponement of the case scheduled
to begin Sept. 6 in federal dis-
trict court in Austin.
Contending that he would re-
ceive a fairer trial In Laredo
than in Austin, Parr seeks to
have the case moved to the
southern federal district. He was
originally indicted in Houston on
charges of failing to pay some
$85,000 in income taxes. This in-
dictment was dismissed and an
identical one entered in Austin.
Appealed by Parr, the change
was upheld by Circuit Court in
New Orleans. A continuance was
granted in Austin when Parr's
attorneys filed appeals in the
Supreme Court.

One that's all fuss and feathers is the cocktail and evening hat
