Texas Tourist Council will saek
the reverse effect of another
group who tried to exploit the
state — the carpet-baggers. It was
the influence of the latter that
caused the Legislature to prohib-
it the use of state funds for
advertising Texas’ attractions 88
years ago.
Governor Daniel said, "Now the
march of tijne has come full
circle ... we find ourselves
engaged in a vigorous economic
competition which might be
celled, in a friendly way, another
'war between the states’."

Bankers Asked For Ideas —
Governor Daniel sent a letter to
the Texas Bankers Association
asking the bankers to present a
proposal for protecting the rights
of bank depositors.
He recommended that newspa- '.pr

VIVE L A DIFFERENCE!
A perfect example of the sky-wide difference be-
tween oftr kind of government and government by dic-
tator was provided by the recent congress of the Soviet
party in Mosbow.
Famous men — former Premier Malenkov and for-
mer Foreign Minister Mojotov among them — were read
out of the part, which means disgrace at the best and
extinction by firing squad at, the worst. Stalin was
denigrated, his embalmed body removed from the Lenin
tomb, the City of Stalingrad renamed, and the name
Stalin retrieved from the face of the nation. In Russia,
in sum, there’s no room for past leaders.
In this country by contrast, we have a President in
office — and we hgve three living former Presidents,
Hoover, Truman and Eisenhower, who gain stature and
the respect of the natipn as time passes. They differ in
many ways in their views, but all are on friendly terms.
All speak their minds freely. All have their public fol-
lowings. All enjoy high standing and public admiration.
None is in any d|h|[fer 6T being ckiled to a U.S. — style
SibCha, or bein& officially denounced as a traitor or a
• villain and liquiffeted. ~ ^
Well, it couldn’t happen in Moscow. So, as the
French say, in another connotation, vive la difference!
And, now, think of what has made and what main-
tains that difference — government in which the people
are the masters, not the servants.

Governor Daniel added that
proper notice to the state ol an
escheatable property would be
"an incidental result of this pro-
tection.*1
He said the subject will be
submitted very soon to a special
session of the Legislature and
asked the T0A to present its own
proposal before December 20.
"The reason for the urgency
is the known fact that a sizeable
[number of national banks are
transferring these dprmant de-
posits to the profits of the banks
without advertising for the lost
owners," he wrote.
"I believe most Texas bankers
wig agree that this is a practice

protection of the good name at
the banking profession in Texas,
as well as foj- the protection of
the rights of misting owners and

What can we do to prevent
these phone calls? — Troubled
Girls,
Dear Troubled Girls: Believe It
or not but phone calls of this
nature are typical of many boys
of 12, 18 and 14 and they do so
just to have something to do.
Most parents don’t appreciate
their daughters receiving such
calls and ih most cases, the calls
stop when the parents decide
enough is enough. The boys
should know batter but if they
have to learn the hard way that
will have to be the solution.
