The southeastern section of the
John E. Raseo will join the
staff of the Texas Manufacturers
Association as Public Relations
Director on August 3. In this ca-
pacity he will carry forward the
program launched by the associ-
ation some several years ago for
the purpose of developing a favor-
able attitude on the part of the
public toward the American Free
Enterprise system.
“Mr. Rasco comes to TMA with
a rich experience in the field of
communications. A native Texan
and a graduate of the University
of Texas and a man with radio,
TV and news reporting experience
in Austin, Corpus Chrtsti, San 4n-
tonio and Portland, Oregon, plus
a rich and unusual understanding
of public reaction in the field of
public affairs amply qualifies him
to do an effective job for' the
organization,’’ said Ed. C. Burris,
Executive Vice President of TMA
in announcing his selection.
Mr. Rasco, his wife (the former
Joyce Cole), and their two sons
will move to Houston shortly
where he is taking up his employ-
ment in the headquarters office
of TMA temporarily located in the
Bank of Commerce Building but
shortly to be permanently housed
in the Houston Club Building
here.
Biaggini named
v-p of T&NO Ry.
HOUSTON—B. F. Biaggini, Jr.
39, was appointed vice president
of the Texas and New Orleans
Railroad Company at a meeting
of the board of directors at Hous-
ton Monday. The T&NO is South-
ern Pacific Lines in Texas and
Louisiana.
One of the youngest top rail-
road officers in the United States,
Mr. Biaggini started with South-
ern Pacific as a l'odman at Ennis
in July, 1936. He held various en-
gineering positions on the rail-
road’s Dallas-Austin, Victoria and
Houston Divisions prior to being
appointed to the position of senior
assistant engineer in the office
of chief engineer here in 1948.
He was made assistant to chief
engineer in 1951, and was moved
into the railroad’s executive of-
fices at Houston in April, 1953,
as executive assistant. He has held
the position of assistant to exec-
utive vice president since July,
1954.
A native of New Orleans, Mr.
Biaggini graduated from St.
Mary’s University in San Antonia
in 1936. He is a member of the
American Railway Engineering
Association, American Railway
Development Association, Houston
Engineers Club, Houston Club
Kiwanis Club of Houston, Briar
Club, Lakeside Country Club, and
the Chambers of Commerce at
Houston and New Orleans.
Mr. and Mrs. Biaggini and
their two daughters, Constance
Sue, 12. and Anne, 9, reside at
3831 Purdue Street.
United States is expected to feel
the impact of hurricane Connie
about Wednesday or Thursday of
this week, according t- the rate
of travel the disturbance was mak-
ing Tuesday.
Denison was feeling the ad-
vance of Miss Connie as early as
Tuesday morning and all during
the day light breezes could be felt
as coming off cooling waters.
The hurricane was centered
some 500 miles off Vero Beach,
Fla., moving north at 12 miles
per hour. It still has its 135-mile
per hour punch.
Hurricane winds extended out
100 miles to the north and east
and 50 miles to the southwest
from the center. Gales extend 350
miles to the north and east and
150 miles to the southwest of the
center. Barometric pressure in the
eye was remaining steady at 27.-
88.
Movement for the next 12 hours
is expected to be toward the north
northwest or north at about 10 to
12 miles an hour.
’lides 2 or 3 feet above nourv.1
were predicted for the North and
South Carolina coastlinees and re-
sidents from Jacksonville north to
Cape Hatteras were advised to
keep in touch with the latest
weather reports.
Its future track is still uncer-
tain, storm forecasters say. Small
boats were warned to stay close
to port as far south as Jackson-
ville. . .
“This is a severe hurricane and
ships should exercise the utmost
caution,” the advisory said.
Connie was heading toward sig-
nificant meeting with a low pres-
sure trough in front of a high
pressure area that may swerve it
east or west. Forecasters explain-
ed that if the trough moves fast
enough, Connie would swing into
its southern portion and a strong
air flow from the southwest
would carry it away from land.
But if the trough moves slow-
ly and Connie advances north
some 180 more miles, the storm
may move into the northern side
jf the low pressure area wheie
air flows from the east. This
might shove it toward land.
Walter R. Davis, storm warning
forecaster, said, “Our best judg-
ment now is that Connie will be
affected by the southern portion
of the trough and will turn north-
eastward. Time will tell.
Livestock observers are looking
for heavy marketing of calves
this month. Recent rains, worth
millions to the ranch country, may
delay movement of some of these
animals if farmers and ranchers
get more grazing from their
pastures.
Reports from over Texas indic-
ate that crossbred heifers are be-
ing used in more and more areas
for breeding with Hereford or
Angus bulls for a heavy calf.
Texas is one of the nation’s
largest feeder calf producing
states, animals from the state
showing up in the big feedlots
ill over the midwest.
The best news that orchard men
have heard in a long time can
recently when scientists discovered
he cause of peach mosaic disease.
A tiny mite carries the disease
which has done great damage to
orchards in the Southwest.
Now the scientists are trying to
find a spray or dust that will bring
about control.
U.S. meat production was up
for the first five months this year.
Beew output was up 2 per cent,
veal was up 1 per cent. All meats
were up 8 per cent.
The Texas Beef Council’s “eat-
more-beef” program has received
national recognition. Public Re-
lations News, national publication
of the public relations and market-
ing trade, featuied it in August
as the outstanding industry mar-
keting program of the nation.
Farmers in the arid areas of
West Texas will be seeing more
.-.oil survey crews at work in the
next few years.
The soil survey program of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture,
which has been under way for
many years, will be speeded up in
the drouth areas of the Great
Plains.
They’ll wind up by 1959 and
have some information which is
badly needed to work out a long-
time system of farming for this
huge problem area.
The Texas Feed Control Ser-
vice, state agency which watches
over the commercial feeds which
livestock men buy, marked its
50th anniversary in July.
Although feeds and feeding
have changed greatly in the half-
century period, the agency s oper-
ators have changed but little.
Coastal Bermuda, new grass
which has been pushed in the
state this year, is doing fine, re-
ports from most areas indicate.
In the Tyler area, where it was
assumed that supplemental irriga-
tion would be needed, the grass is
making good progress under dry-
land conditions.

The county scent said that diet-
drin and DDT or aldrin and DDT
were probably best for fields In
which there was a heavy infesta-
tion of both boll weevils and boll-
worms.
That farmers are taking the in-
sect threats seriously is shown by
the statement of a farmer near
Honey Grove, who said, “I sat and
watched them eat up a crop for
me or.e year, but they won’t do
it this year. I’m poisoning 'em.”
County Agent Green urged that
farmers check their fields weekly
for both weevils and bollworms.
He recommended that poisoning
for weevils begin when infesta-
tion bus reached 25 or 30 per
cent, and to begin treatment for
bollworms when the infestation is
no higher than five per cent.

AUSTIN — Accurate statistical
data on Texas hunteis and fisher-
men—what they harvest, where
and the cost—is about to be ob-
tained by the Game and Fish Com-
mission.
It is contemplating a contract
with a national surveying concern
to make a statewide study sim-
ilar to ones conducted elsewhere
which have proved to be within
ten per cent of perfection,
The information is needed, ac-
cording to the Executive Secre-
tary of the Game and Fish Com-
mission, to augment wildlife re-
storation techniques and to de-
termine the cost factor to the per-
son who fishes and hunts.
"This proposed survey,” he add-
ed, “is a part of the modern
game management pattern which
eliminates as much guesswork as
possible and which necessarly is
hinged on accurate information.
Handling our natural resources
has become a definite science, and
that means deemphasizing con-
jecture as a matter of sound pol-
icy.”
The Executive Secretary said
the poll would show definitely
what sections of the state pro-
duces the most wildlife and what
section provides the greatest num-
ber of hunters.
"We have a general idea about
this,” he explained, “but modern
techniques call for more accurate
details. We want to know where
the hunting pressure comes from
and where it occurs.
“It is desirable also to be bet-
ter informed about the economy
of the sport of hunting and fish-
ing. Therefore, we need to know
what percentage of the sports-
man’s dollar is spent in the, county
where he fishes and hunts. The
outcome of this survey thus will
enable us to better manage our
wildlife resources.”

Vigilance by State Bar Griev-
ance Committees in Congression-
al districts throughout the state
will assure that every Texas law-
yer lives up to his qualifications
as an “officer of the court,” the
head of the Texas legal profession
declared Tuesday.
This policy was announced by
Maurice R. Bullock of Fort Stock-
ton, president of the State Bar
of Texas, in making appointments
to the Fourth Congressional Dis-
tract Grievance Committee. Ap-
pointed to three-year terms were
Allen Clark, of Greenville; J. S.
Freels of Denison; and Paul Wor-
den of McKinney. Other members
whose terms have not yet expired
are L. L. Bowman, Jr., Greenville;
Buster Cole, Bonham; C. H. Gil-
lespie, Sherman; J. E. Abernathy,
McKinney; Worley N. Barnes,
Terrell; and James E. Henderson,
Sherman.
Bullock explained that each
congressional district has at least
one Grievance Committee, mem-
bers for which are recommended
by a member of the State Bar
boai J of directors who resides in
the district. Director of the
Fourth District is Joe A. Keith,
Sherman attorney.
“There is no cleaner or more
honorable profession than the le-
gal profession,” Bullock said,
“but, among the more than 12,-
000 Texas lawyers, it cannot be
expected that every ope of them
will always conform to the high
standards of the State Bar.
“In these instances we recognize
that it is the duty of the State
Bar to investigate such violations
and take appropriate action.”
Grievance Committees are es-
tablished to receive complaints, in-
vestigate and take appropriate ac-
tion on any act of misconduct re-
portedly made by members of the
Bar. Any citizen, Bullock said,
who believes he has been aggriev-
ed in a legal matter by his attor-
ney may make complaint to any
member of the committee. De-
pending on findings of the invest-
igation, the Committee shall take
action by dismissing the complaint,
by reprimanding the attorney or
by instituting procedure for sus-
pension or disbarment.
“The overwhelming preponder-
ance of the profession is honest
and reputable,” Bullock asserted.
'We have not always had, how-
ever, adequate policing of the
small number who are not,”
In some cases, he said, lawyers
do not have the esteem of the pub-
lic to which they are entitled. “We
don’t want them pictured differ-
ently than they really are, but we
feel no other group on the whole
is rendering more public service.”
Bullock expressed hope that
trivial or personal complaints
would not be filed with the Griev-
ance Committee. He said the only
cases to be considered will be al-
leged acts of unethical practice
or misconduct.
“I want the public to know that
such a committee exists in this dis-
trict. The State Bar wants to help
police its own group better, and
1 we ask the public to cooperate

crop were showing up in danger-
ous numbers in many fields of the
county and advised that steps to
control the infestations be taken
at once.
“Both weevils and bollworms
are causing damage to cotton
fields, he said, “and now is the
time to take steps to control this
infestation. If farmers wait too
long, the bollworms will be in-
side the bolls and nothing can kill
them then.”
Green said that where dust
poisons were used, 3-10-40, diel-
drin with DDT, aldrin with DDT
and toxaphene with DDT were
recommended. For sprays, he said
