A Risk That Seems Worth Taking
The third of three constitutional amendments which
will be on the Nov. 5 election ballot has widespread sup-
port — and some strong opposition... _
This change in the state constitution, if
\the voters, will establish a new fund in orJ
loans to political subdivisions for the P "
Ling the water resources of Texas. /
The new state agency to be created would be known
as the Texas Water Development Board. The fund, to be
known as the Texas Water Development Fund, would
be derived from the sale of as much as 200 million dol-
lars in bonds authorized by this amendment.
The proposed amendment would authorize the Texas
Water Development Board to sell general obligation
tax bonds of the State of ?exas in the amount of 100 mil-
lion dollar* and an additional 100 million dollars m
bonds upon a two-thirds vote of the State Legislature.
The Water Development Board would be appointed
by the governor with the advice and consent of the Sen-
ate. The powers and duties, as well as the qualifications,
^compensation and number of members of the board, are
to be established by law. V , .......... .. .
The theory involved .in propositions of this type is
that the state w„Ul obtain funds through borrowing and
in turn loaning those funds to districts which will use
them to construct useful projects, which will earn reve-
nues to repay the loans. In turn, the state eventually
will pay off with the repayments from agencies to which
it loans the money.
The availability of state funds, it is theorized, will give
a boost to projects now held back by lack of funds. Be-
cause the moneys loaned must be paid back with inter-
est, it is believed, the fund will be self-liquidating and
there will be no burden on the taxpayers.
^Several agencies operating in Orange County, theoret-
ically, would be eligible for such loans. These are*the
Sabine River Authority of Texas, the Orange County
Conservation and Reclamation District, and the three
water control and improvement districts.
The World Todoy:
Top Official -
In FBI Retires
23 Years -
uArLs.
WASHINGTON tfl-This country
loses on* of its best and most
dedicated public servants Nov. 1
when Louis B. Nichols retires. He
has been the No. 3 man in tbo
FBI for years. s
He joined the FBI 23 years ago.
In that time very few people out-
side Washington ever heard of the
husky, six-foot, dark-haired Nich-
ols who at 41 is a man with an
astonishing memory and endur-
ance and a burning conscience.
He played the FBI up and him-
self down. But the FBI can thank
him for much at the enormous
goodwill it enjoys, In 15- years in
Washington this writer has never
known a government employe who
4 worked so hard.
* Hit routine, day in and day out,
* year after year, has been from
1:30 in the morning tilt 11 or 12
- o'clock at night in the office, with
usually 10 or 11 hours on Saturday
and a shorter stint on Sunday.
Most of the time he ate lunch
and dinner at his desk. His going
is tough on the FBI. But I think
-It's s lifestver for Nichols. Men
around him worried constantly
about his long hours. Now he is
going into private business to
make some money for his family.
A few years ago, during a vaca-
tion which was never spent far
from a telephone, he built a cabin
near the water about 1D0 miles
from Washington so he and his
two sons could fish. Since then he
probably hasn't been there four
times a year. !
The three top men in the FBI
are J. Edgar Hoover, director;
Clyde Tolson, associate director:
and Nichols, assistant to Hoover.
When Hoover and Tolson were out
of town, Nichols ran the FBI.
He was up to his neck in every-
thing the FBI did. Besides being
in charge of its records and com-
munications. he was the man who.
since the late 1930a, has handled
its public relations. V
Through those yaars, which
covered World War II and the
Korean War and the great public
agitation over communism at
home and abroad, Nichols was the
one through whom the agency's
work was jnade known to the
press and the world.
But he never let himself figure
In any of the stories. Invariably
Nichola reported to newsmen
somethjpg like this: "J. Edgar
Hoover, director of the FBI, to-
day announced so and so...” It
was that way, day by day, that tho
FBI story was unfolded.
Better English
By D. C. WILLIAMS
1. What is wrong with this len-
ience? "Marty years’ experience
are now guiding him in his present
line of work.”
2. What is the correct pronuncia-
tion of “chimpanzee"?
1 Which one of these words is
purpose of water resources development and the comp#
tition for state money probably is going to be fierce.
And the fact that there will be such competition is the
on# good answer to critics of the proposed amendment/
These critics, including the influential Tax Research
Assn, of Houston and Harris County, point out that the,
bonds would be general obligation securities, backed by
the credit of the state. Therefore, any defaults due to
ill-advised loans to unsound projects, would have to be
made up through general taxation.
That’s true, but the idea behind the amendment is
sound, and if the people are as alert as they should be
loans will be confined to sound projects and there will
never be any taxes involved.

Youths Today-Leaders Tomorrow
This is Catholic Youth Week and in connection with
the observance we commend to you the text of an edi-
torial by George Sokolsky. It* reads: -
What is youth?.
Why do we in the United States make such a strong
age distinction between th* young and the older? In
Asia, for instance, it used to be customary for young
people to “know their place,” to follow their elders in all
things, but in the United States, we believe in giving
youth its head, in giving young men and women an op-
portunity to learn by doing and by living.
Although there is always excitement when teenagers
run afoul of the law, those who do are comparatively
few in number. Our young people are, on the whole,
wholesome in thought and act, guided by virtuous ideals
of living. »
This year, the slogan of Youth Week is “Healthier,
Holier and Happier,” strong in mind and body, fervent
in spirit and happy in God's grace. Ours is a competent
youth that takas its place in the world early, that labors
valiantly to improve itself and accepts responsibility in
peace as well as war. *
It is a truism but not a cliche that the youth of today
Is the leader of tomorrow. In a free society, leadershio
is best attained by competition among free men and
women for opportunities for service and to make their
special talents and abilities available.
It is in such opportunities that the leadership of each
generation asserts itself and in such competition, charac-
ter, manliness, holiness, virtue become evident at an
early age.

Boyle Writes:
Anastasia's Death
Called Example Of
'Law Beyond Law'
Mr HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK W — Here in the
city beautiful that nearly every
day can tf*«t a dawn with a
homicide, there came a sudden
death that gave the million*
pause.
It was a different death. It Was
not a routine death in a city
Where many strange ways of
death are routine.
This was i gangster death, the
going nWay with five bullets in
nis body of the Und of a man
who di#a with big money in his
pocket but who when alive, while
often arrested la rarely convicted
It is the kind of a story that is
big news to City Hall and to the
man who rides into work hart from
the suburbs, a source of gossip
from the Bowery flop house to
Park Avenue,
It is an example of the "law
beyond the lew' —the tale of a
man who many people think de
serves to be killed but he is killed
not by the people, but by bis
people. a *
His death may be justice but it
is not law. Police officials' an-
nounce 100 detectives have been
assigned to search for the killeri,
but very few of the Sty million
people who live here think the 100
will ever bring the two kilters to
successful trial; nor do they worry
much.
For some reason that amazes
more civilized nations, many
Americans and some of the law
officers they hire feel that justice
is done wheifi one underworld
character exterminates another, a
legal and moral attitude as inde-
fensible as it is indigenous.
When I read in the papers that
Albert Anastasia had been slain
in the same New York hotel out
of which Arnold Rothstein, the
gambler, had struggled, clutching
a dying belly, I could not escape
the thought that these gangsters,
like the German forces I had met
in war, were military creature* of
a military mind, and sometimes
were guilty of confronting • new
situation with a habit rather than
an improvisation.
As an observer of death on
many fronts, however, some artis-
tic. and some inartistic, I Muft
say the two-man execution of
Anastasia marks a postwar low
in the art of public assassination.
The whole picture is one of self-
doubt, not oniy from the viewpoint
of those who fired but from the
standpoint of those who ordered
the triggers pulled. They belong
in lime — those who pulled the
triggers. >And those who gave the
orders belong in the electric
chair.

4. What does the word "comity**
mean?
5. What is a word beginning with
br that means "to buliy”?
1. Say, ''Many years' experience
is now guiding him in hit present
type of work.”
2. Pronounce chim-pan-zee, prin-
cipal accent on last syllable.
3. Chieftain.
4. Politeness; courtesy; mild-
ness. "The coarse actor was im-
properly cast in a role requiring
comity."
5. Browbeat.
A Problem a Day
A garden is 16 feet longer than
it is wide. If it were six feet laager
than it is, th# distance around it
would be 140 feet. What are its

tiply by 2; subtract from 140; di-
vide by 4 for the width; add 16 ior

SAN FRANCISCO « -Georg#
Rickett started up steep Douglas
street, on an eight-ton paving roll-
er, but quickly found the monster
sliding back down—although tho
rollers still were turning forward.
"There wasn’t much I could
do,” said Rickett. "These things
don’t have brakes; just clutches."
After backsliding one block, the
roller cracked a telephone pole
and hit two parked cars before
stopping.
No one was hurt.
