Demands that Texas congres-

heard at both political party
meetings.
Texas was allotted an addition-
al congressman after the 1930
census. Since the legislature has
rejected rcdistricting bills for the
past two sessions, the extra man
is elected by the entire state.

Republican National Commit-

legal committee might seek fed-
eral court action to force the leg-
islature to redistrict.
"It's not fair to have the same
representation from districts of
100.000 as you do from areas
with more than a million,"
Porter charged.
PEARSON BLAMED AGAiN—
In a report made public by the
Insurance Commission, TVman
Drew Pearson received the brunt
of the blame for luring Texans
into investing money in the now
defunct US Trust & Guaranty
Co. The report was based on
answers to questionnaires sent
draft purchasers by the state
liquidators office.
Questionnaires were answered
by 3,600 purchasers. They repre-
sented investments of $4,711,132.
Nearly half of them charged
Pearson with influencing them
into buying. This because of his
personal, oft-repeated statement
that "You can put your trust In
U. S. Trust."
Because Pearson personally rec-
ommended the purchase, tW& TV

CiVtL iMMUNiY DENtED
OFF!C)ALS — Public officials
are not immune from civil la-
bility for acts in connection with
their duties. An Austin district
judge so ruled in a case involv-
ing two former employes of the
Insurance Commission.
Examiners Larry W. Blan-
chard and Robert R. Butler are
among more than 50 defendants
in a $6,890,000 damage suit. It
was filed by the state liquidator
against those allegedly responsi-
ble for the 1954 collapse of the
big General American CasuaSty
Co. of San Antonio.
PARR TRtAL DELAY EX-
PECTED—Another six months
delay seems likely before the
trial of George B Parr on income
tax evasion charges takes place.
Parr's plea to have the trial in
Laredo, rather than Austin, was
rejected by the US Supreme
Court. U. S. Attorneys promptly
asked Judge Ben H Rice of Aus-
tin for an early setting, prefer-
ably in July. But Parr's attorneys
said they will file <for a hehear-
ing before the , Supreme Court.
Such action could keep the case
from coming up until January of
1957.
Parr was first indicted In 1954.
He is charged with filing false re-
turns in 1949. 1950 and 1951 and
failing to pay the government
$86,000.
'4000 Won Sanitary
Health Course
Certificates
Austin, June 21—Almost 4000
Texas foodhandlers so far this
year have won certification for
having "satisfactorily completed
the public heaithcoursc insani-
tary preparation and handling of i
food as prescribed by this depart-
ment,"the State Department of
Health has announced.
Of the 3864 embossed certi-
ficates handed out by the depart-
ment's three public health in-
structors, 463 went to owners and
managers of food establishments
who attended and completed the
5-day course of instruction cover-
ing all phases of sanitary food
production, preparation, and ser-
vice.
"We feet the accomplishment
is significant," State Health Com-
missioner HenryA. Holle said,
"since some 31 different diseases
can be spread through improper-
ly handled food and drink."
The free courses have been
part of the department's health
education curriculum since 1938.
Most health departments over the
nation conduct similar schools,
but the movement originated in
Texas.
Dr. Holle said school lunch
room workers, who annually
serve 114 million lunches to Tex-
as school children, "are always
among the most faithful patrons
of the courses."
Big city life is not what it's
cracked up to be in the big cities.
Why is it that every new hat
is different, and has that "special
touch?"
