'Citizenship Seminar' Endorses
Lyndon Johnson For President
County Cleric Hairy Wofford of

leaders Joined In a "Citizenship
Seminar'' which brought endorse-
ments of Lyndon B. Johnson for

The Texas Junior Chamber of
Commerce sponsored the affair

crats on the program publicly
plugged Johnson for President.
"If our Democratic Party is wise
enough in 1960 — as I hope it will
be — it will make tills man its
standard -bearer — and If they do I
we will make him President of the
United States," Speaker Sam Ray-
burn told a wildly-applauding au-
dience. He described Johnson as
the greatest, leader Rayburn has
seen in his 47 years in Congress
“I'm a Johnson man!" proclaim-
ed U. S. Sen. Thomas J. Dodd of
Connecticut. Up where X come
from there are a lot more."
He told questioners that a Texan
ran carry New England in the
presidential race.
While the addresses by experts
covered the nation's space and
missies programs, education, eco-
nomics and labor relations — the
name most often mentioned was
Johnson.
The Senate Democratic leader
presided at the meeting ior half
a day, then flew to Jefferson, in
East Texas, for the funeral of his
wife's brother, Thomas J, Tay-
lor Jr.
Other speakers Included:
Dr. T. Keith Glennan, head of
the National Aeronautics and
8pace Adminstration, who said
America's space and missies pro-
gram — while lagging behind Rus-
sia's In some respects — may be
on the verge of Important break-
throughs in lofting men into
space.
James H. Douglas, secretary of
the Air Force, who said a large
part of the nation's manned bomb-
er will be displaced by missiles
and that the U. S. has interconti-
nental of missies high accuracy
and 5,000-mile range.
John L. Burns, president of I

litical genius — but dedication to
our moral and spiritual heritage."
Senator Johnson urge d his
youth audience to take the lead
in combatting the Communist
challenge. Several p°;ikrrs crit-
icized the visit of Soviet Premier

Just how the limitations on sup-
ports are going to affect next
year's program is the question ...
the government has just announced
that farmers must reduce their
1959 acreage by 20 per cent to be
eligible for non-recourse supports
in excess of $50,000 , . . will this
drive more cotton farmers into the
“A" group or "B" group?? ... at
this stage, anybody’s guess is as
good as the next man’s ... a couple
of facts immediately become ap-
parent, though: first, if a farmer
was among the "B" producers this
year and planted all his acreage,
he can choose “A” next year and as-
sure himself of unlimited supports
. , . this isn’t true of this year's
"A" producer ... he must reduce
his acreage by 20 per cent to be
eligible for unlimited supports in
1960 . . . and this year’s “B" farm-
er ran choose "B” again then
under-plant his ”B’’ allotment to
the extent that he has 20 per cent
less acreage than this year, that’ll
be 12 per cent more acreage than
if he chooses “A’’, and be eligible
for unlimited supports . . . limita-
tions apply to individual ’’persons’’
... not to individual farming units.
If a producer does not reduce his
acreage by 20 per cent he may still
receive supports after the $50,000
mark is passed but these will b#
in the form of loans that must be
repaid within 12 months ... all in
all, ft’s a pretty complicated thing
and now isn’t the time to decide
which route to follow ... especially
since the support level is not know n
yet.
No I,easing
Despite reports that the new law
allows cotton farmers to lease thesr
acreage next season, this isn’t the
case ... the producer will he
penalized if he doesn’t plant or
turn in hia allotment ... but ha
can’t lease it or give it to an in-
dividual . . . sorry.
Ag Workera’ Union
A move seerna to be getting un-
derway in aome parts of the cotton
belt to form an agricultural work-
ers union.
Fesls Worse
Think the weevil situation is get-
ting any better??? ... If so, you
can get arguments at any number
of places in the cotton belt ... in
one spot, a check showed that the
number of weevils to survive win-
ter has increased over 200 per cent
during a 12-year period.
