Victoria Doctor
Appointed Area
Cancer Director
Dr. George A. Constant of Vic-
toria has been appointed crusade
director for District 8, including
Matagorda County, of the Ameri-
can Cancer Society during its an-
nual fund-raising educational cru-
sade in April.
Joe Polichino, 1956 state cru-
sade chairman from Rosenberg,
said: "Dr. Constant, who has long
been active in cancer control work
in Victoria, will co-ordinate the ef-
forts of hundred's of volunteers
throughout District 8 to secure
funds for support of the American
Cancer Society's three-pronged at-
tack on cancer through education,
research, and service."
In addition to Matagorda Coun-
ty, District 8 is composed of Bra-
zoria, Calhoun, Colorado, DeWitt,
Fayette, Fort Bend, Galveston,
Goliad, Jackson, Lavaca, Victoria,
and IWharton Counties.
"Last year," Mr. Polichino said,
"the Texas Division raised over
$895,000. This year our goal for
Texas is $1,017,640 and for the
nation $26,000,000."

President's Reasoning In Vetoing 200 Hear Deer
Harris Gas Bill Is Astonishing Park Official's
" . ' Speech
>1A> W
(From Houston Chronicle)
President Eisenhower's message
vetoing the Harris-Fulbright na-
tural gas bill is even more aston-
ishing than the veto itself.
The president concedes that the
bill is a good one, and gives rea-
sons why. He bases his veto solely
upon the charge that one man tried
to influence one senator's vote.
For that one reason, he nullifies
Congress' action in overruling the
Supreme Court's attempt to legis-
late in defiance of the national
legislature's express will and in-
tent.
The President declares that he
regrets that he is unable to ap-
prove the bill "because I am in ac-
cord with its basic objectives." He
says legislation of the kind is
needed "because the type of regu-
lation of producers of natural gas
which is required under present
law will discourage individual in-
itiative and incentive to explore
for and develop new sources of
supply. In the long run this will
limit supplies of gas, which is con-
trary not only to the national in-
terest but especially to the interest
of the consumers."
Those are precisely the argu-
ments the bill's advocates have
made all along. The President did
not mention the fact that the bill
also would restore regulatory pow-
ers to the states, where they be-
long. He did not mention that the
Supreme Court decision which the
bill would supersede is not only a
dangerous curb on the oil and gas
business but a threat to all in-
dustry, and a big step 'forward- for
the advocates of federal centrali-
zation and price fixing. These are
even more cogent reasons why he
should have signed the bill.
But, having expressed approval
of the bill's objectives, the Presi-
dent says he cannot approve it be-
cause of the Case scandal.
In other words, he would penal-
ize the producers, the consumers,
the interests of states rights and
the interests of the country as a
whole for one man's alleged mis-
deed, if misdeed it was for an at-
torney for an oilman to offer
$2500 for Sen. Case's campaign
fund with no strings attached.
What about the millions spent
by labor organizations and gas dis-
tributing companies to defeat the
bill?
A Senate committee is studying
the Case incident. It will decide
whether anything improper was
done or not. It also will explore
the whole field of campaign con-
tributions, including the millions
given by labor unions to candi-
dates' war chests each election
year.
The President's reasoning is
completely specious. Even if the
Senate committee find's the gift
offer was improper, that has
nothing to do with the merits of
the bill, which the Senate passed
by the one-sided vote of 53 to 38.
Or is the President implying that
wholesale efforts were made to
bribe senators? His veto consti-
the annual April Crusade, Poli-
chino explained the April Crusade
is the most decisive factor in sav-
ing thousands of lives from can-
cer each year because through the
concerted effort of A.C.S. volun-
teers everywhere Texans are learn-
ing the importance of recognizing
the early danger signals of can-
cer.
"Although," Mr. Polichino stated,
"9,144 Texans died of cancer last
year, an estimated 3,000 Texans
were saved because they learned
the facts of cancer in time. It is
estimated that an additional 3,000
persons could be saved through a
greater crusade effort."
The American Cancer Society is
spending nearly $6,500,000 nation-
ally in a strongly coordinated can-
cer research effort by over 1,000
scientists in a total of 152 institu-
tions. More than $250,000 is cur-
rently being spent in Texas alone.

tutes an insult to every senator
who voted for the bill.
Meanwhile, besides employing
some of the most peculiar reason-
ing ever used to justify the
vetoing of a bill, the President
has played into the hands of those
who wish to centralize all power
in the hands of the federal govern-
ment. He has moved this country
one step closer to the socialistic
state.
