Red River Dam [Thrown Into
Middle Of Quarrels
time like this7
What is there back of the assembly of
a few of the leaders that past weekend?
What is there to this growing opposition to
the president and his particular group of
leaders, one of whom is Sam Rayburn, as
that opposition was brought out recently
when Mr. Rayburn had such a stiff fight
on the floor to save earmarks from being
placed on funds?
That opposition is growing against the
plan of the president to alter the Supreme
Court is a fact, no matter how many of us
may stand on the matter. The whole par-
ty is suffering from rifts within at present,
and the gayety of nations is not reduced
much by the present outlook of the labor
situation and the relation the administra-
tion bears to that.
So far no emphatic voice has spoken
out in the matter and affairs are running
from had to worse. None can doubt that.
That there should be opposition to the
Red River dam project from political and
personal and get-even reasons, is the thing
naturally to he expected now. Anything
that would would be espoused by Mr.
Rayburn, or even the president, stands a
good chance of enlisting “militant opposi-
tion’’ at the present time.
Whatever chance the Red River dam
had as a worthy project, it has now got-
ten into the hands of those fellows who
seem to be willing to oppose it for political
l’easons. There seems to be no other inter-
pretation to term “militant opposition” as
its setting is at present.
Which means the next Congress, and
maybe the next, and maybe never for the
Red River dam. Who can tell the way of

theatres, is back from hi# vaca-
sion a part of which was spent in
his old home town of Abilene.
Truman says he is more than glad
to get back on the job and thinks
a fellow is made a better work-
man by taking out for a while,
because it makes him realize just
what it means for a person to
have a job and working at it regu-
larly. Truman says he is back
on the job with more zest than
ever and will go into his work
with m re determination to make
it go. Truman is really a fine fel-

the fellows with whom he works,
but also by scores of others here.
He says he brouhgt his mother

of the Blue Ridge, refutes the ar-

that it is necessary to smear the
roadsides with signs for the sake
of stimulating local business. Try-

Scenery that is obliterated by
advertising signs is not likely to
attract many visitors. Especially
it will not attract the kind that
has money to spend. Vacationists
able to choose between one place
ami another will shun a town
that looks like Coney Island and
prefer one in which is not hid-

Texas has reached n crucial
