her own money on any project
she wants. What do we gain by
picking up the check?
Next, they said the project would
be self-liquidating—that is, the
tolls would pay for the canal. If
this is true the project could sell
“revenue” bonds without any gov-
ernment guarantee, just as ha|
been done by many toll roads or
turnpikes which are/ being built
over the country. I voted for such
an amendment. The proponents of
’• * **• • * •* ii »TL ...

seemed determined that our Gov-
ernment should put just as much
into this undertaking as possible—
I feel sure it will no sooner get
started than they will be back
demanding that all the canals (old
as well as new) be deepened so
the largest ocean-going ship can
use them. They will also almost
surely insist that the canals be ex-
tended into the upper Great
Lakes. These additional develop-
ments will cost many times as
much as. the original project, and
the United States will doubtless
be asked to pay all of this cost.
When completed, this project
will surely result in a retardation
of the development of the Gulf
Ports. 1 could not believe our own
people should be taxed simply to
keep the steel industry from build-
ing new plants in our area. I,
therefore, voted Against the bill.
Last night the Democrats held
their Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in
Washington. The Democratic Lead-
ers of the House and Senate were
the chief speakers. The leaders are
both from Texas—Mr. Rayburn
in the House, and Senator Johnson
in the Senate. There is much reason
for concern, but 1 thought the
Democratic speakers showed a fine
degree of patriotism in refraining
from partisian criticism of our
foreign policy. There is no ques-
tion but that we are in an ex-
tremely deiicale situation—very
similar to that before the outbreak
of World War II. but I think it is
the duty of every good American
to try to help our country through
this crisis rather than to try to
make political capital by arguing
about who is to blame.
This idea of fixing blame is
probably the basic difficulty with
Ihe Sehkle investigations of Sen-
ator McCarthy, et al. It can only be
an effort to see who and how many
lied. No matter what the answer,
Cerebral Palsy
Drive Launched;
Need $100,000
A statewide campaign to raise
$100,000 for the cerebral palsied
of Texas was launched Sunday in
the state’s 254 counties with thou-
via Of »•»«■* v»l» nr.< •'>•»*■( i oi
pating in the month-long drive.
Raymond Willie of Dallas, Presi-
dent of United Cerebral Palsy As-
sociation of Texas, said s ecial
television and radio marathons,
postman’s walks, theater collec-
tions and other special events
would highlight the program.
Canisters for collection of funds
are being placed in leading busi-
ness establishments and donors
also are urged to mail contributions
to Cerebral Palsy In care of their
local postmaster.
Local theater managers will
serve as county chairmen through-
out the state.
Governor Allan Shivers, in a
proclamation released Sunday,
urged Texans to give generously
to the cause of cerebral palsy. It
was pointed out that Texas has
some 24,000 cerebral palsied; and,
on a national level, a cerebral pal-
sied child is born every 53 minutes

it will not eliminate any Com-
munists or revise any Army pro-
cedures. This radio and television
show has undoubtedly done much
to lesson the respect of the public
for the Legislature Branch of our
Government, and much to shake
the confidence of people in other
lands in the stability and respec-
tability of the United States as a
whole. On the other hand, the mat-
ter has attained such a distorted
importance that it seems essential
that the investigation proceed un-
til an answer can be given. 1 hope
this will cause the American peo-
ple to realize the dangers of ignor-
ing the basic safeguards which our
legal procedures have always given
to every person accused of crime.
No nation has ever long protected
the Innicent when it indulged In a
presumption of guilt. Our Court
procedures are indeed slow and
cumbersome but they have stood
the test of time, and in the long
run they are probably as expedi-
tious as the efforts to proceed
without rules, or to make the rules
as we go along. If we can but
learn that there is no short cut to
justice, and no substitute foV the
proof of guilt, these investigations
may well be worth while.

IT’S AMERICA’S
“BEST SELLER"
Because its Americas Best Buy
Ford has pioneered in bringing the most
worth-while things to the most people . .. and more and more
people are now buying Fords
f;
ton a long TJMF, people liave recognized
that Ford is the "Worth More ’ ear. And
they have been expressing their prelcn nee
in a great and growing volume of purchases.
The reason is simple. More and more people
have found in Ford everything they want
and need. They have found that Ford offers
exterior beauty that has sel the trend for
the industry ... interiors that are so colorful
and in such good taste that just sitting in
a Ford is fun.
If you’re in the market for mu/ new car,
voii’ll he missing something if you don’t
come in and value-check a Ford point bv
point. And when you Test Drive a Ford and
find out what a brilliant performer it is, you’ll
really understand why Ford is America’s
Best Seller and Americ a s best Buy,
Jn the first place: Ford offers the two most
modem engines in the entire industry: the
completely new 130-h.p. Y*block V-8 and
the outstanding new 115-h.p. I-block Six.
As for comfort Ford is the only car in its
field with Ball Joint Front Suspension. This
amazing new principle: provides a degree of
handling and riding ease that cannot he
equalled in any car without this new
suspension system.
Choice, too, is a department where Ford
excells. You’ll find just exac tly the ear for
you among the I t body .styles and more
than 100 body color and upholstery c ombi-
nations in Ford s three great lines.
And consider these fac ts, too, Ford is a com-
pletely modern car. T he advanced fine-car
features that make it "Worth More’’ when
you buy it. will also make it "Worth More”
to someone else- when you sell it.
Why not accept our invitation to Test Drive
a ’51 Ford. We believe that you’ve never
drive n a < ,n in Ford’s field that is in any
way comparable.
