I returned late this week after
« hurried trip to Austin to view
the process whereby our Texas
lews are enacted — maneuvered
through the two Houses of the
Stale Legisla-
ture, that is.
It was a first-
hand observance

The occasion was this controver-

lotage fees. It’s difficult in city
ehd county governments at times
to keep-elective official hitched
on touchy problems. Orange Coun-
ty is no exception to this general
rule. But vou folks had better be-
lieve that by comparison with state
legislators, our county and city of-
ficials are aa solid as the Rock of

House committee on counties, it
came as a distinct shock to ace the
esteemed senator representing Or-
ange and Jefferson counties feed-
ing questions to be asked by mem-
bers backing his Senate BUI 350.
Rep. Louis Dugas, whb says he‘s
neutral on this matter, informs me
this is common practice.
Nevertheless, it seemed odd to
me that Sen. Jep $. Fuller elected
to represent the people from these
two counties, steered questions
limed at legislation in which there
was clear-cut opposition. It seemed
to me like a case of Fuller and
B Sabins District pUots vs. the
people. \ v
Maybe the welfare of the pilots
come first. There’s apparent y

concerned—excluding the pilots.

in this legislation except to state
Cloudburst
At Palestine
Fatal to Tot
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A cloudburst that caused one
death by drowning struck the
Palestine area of East Texas
Saturday night during a severe
weather alert that expired without
extensive danu&e.
The locally heavy East Texas
downpour followed by 18 hours
twisting winds that struck four
South Texas towns and did con-
siderable damage.
The Palestine Herald • Press
said 6.30 inches of rain poured
down there within about two hours
early Saturday night sending
water 10 feet deep into low sections
of the city near the business dis-
trict.
Shortly after 7 p. m., there had
been no evacuations in Palestine
and the water was going down
although it was stilt raining.
Five or six stores, five blocks
from Palestine’s main business
plied. That’s one point. Another is
that a senator in Austin swings
more power than the law allows.
Secondly you never criticize
either a representative or a sen-
ator to another member of either
honge. All belong to a mutually
beneficial protective association
and that’s la bad taste. Judging
from what I heard, those mat-
ter* in good taste in Austin legis-
lative circles would bo consid-
ered extreme breaches of ethics
and conduct anywhere else.
Asr one member of a Sabine Area
delegation put it, ’’You don’t have
to worry about those guya standing
at the entrance inside the capital
building. They have a fence around
’em and can’t hurt anybody.”

that recently held Britain’s famed
ballerina, Dame Margot Fonteyn.
After questioning, they probably
will be deported.
The Cubans, who meekly sur-
rendered their arms without fir-
ing a shot, were brought to Pan-
ama City in eight heavily guard-
ed buses late Friday from their
invasion beachhead at Nombre de
Dios as an unruly crowd demon-
strated around the. Brazilian Em-

The crowd was demanding that
the embassy hand over Roberto
Arias, Dame Margot’s prominent
Panamanian husband. He has
been accused by the government
of attempting to start a rebellion
with the aid of the Cubans.

The State Teachers Assn, claims
the bill will destroy professional
standards. Some college adminis-
trators joined the public teachers
in telling lawmakers to kill toe
bill.
‘T’ve only received one letter
for it," Rep. H. G. Wells of Tulia
said. ”1 don’t know why there is
so much opposition. 1' think it’s
needed and is a good bill.”
President E. N. Jones of Texas
Tech wrote House members
“One of the most serious of the
bill's results may be, anticipated
as makirig Texas a dumping
ground for castoff teachers from
other states.”
Rep. Robert Bowers of Brown'
field replied:
“I was shocked and surprised
to receive your letter. As a co-
author of the bill, I think it is a
much-needed piece of legislation."
Dr. Jones came to Austin for a
personnel talk with Bowers and
other members. Their talk fol-
lowed the thoughts' they e*
changed in toe letters.
Jones said in 1925 he favored
such an approach to certify teach-
ers. Now the plan will damage
progress made to raise teacher’s
standards, he aaid. “
"The bill doesn’t hire the teach-
ers,” Bowers said. “That is left
to the local school board. You
refer to making Texas a dumping
ground for cast-off teachers from
other states. On this theory ib
seems to be that Texas would be
a dumping ground for college pro-
fessors also because they do not
have to have the education
courses.”
