The unknown driver of the

was removed from under a south

that he was run over by the oth-

The Patterson car and the car
which hit it was reported to be
total losses.
The car following the patter-

the accident happened so quick-

TEXAS REPRESENTATIVE
“Wistful” Woman Lawyer
Respected House Member
By MARGARET MAYER
Times Herald Austin Bureau
Austin, May 14—When a girl was named
to a five-member House committee to in-
vestigate veterans land scandals last year
there were no raised eyebrows because
the girl was Miss Virginia Duff.
Miss Duff, petite, brunette and a little
wistful, is nonetheless a lawyer and a
highly respected member of the Texas
House of Representatives.
She has served in that capacity for three
terms, defeating the incumbent and ano-
ther male opponent for her first term in
1950.
Siie rias probably become best known in
the past six years for her conscientious
attention to her duties and astute handl-
ing of whatever assignment that comes her
way. including House debate.
Some other women House members,
with equally good looks, have been known
to win their points with womanlike argu-
ments and charm. Not Miss Duff. She is
charming in her approach, but her argu-
ments and charms. Not Miss Duff. She is
This is true especially on legal matters
in which the small young lady, harely visi-
ble over the speaker’s rostrum in the
House, disarms her opposition with mere
knowledge. Her young looks belle even
her scant 35 years of age.
Miss Duff-decided on a legislative career
at the age of 12. She wanted to follow her
groat-great-grandfather, a member of the
first Texas Legislature and founder of
Ellis County, into I he job which she con-
siders a high privilege.
She took degrees from Trinity Univer-
sity and SMU law school, working her way
through (he latter in a Dallas geophysical
laboratory analyzing soil cores and cuttings.
I lie job. which started at summer em-
ployment, continued to hold her attention
and she still commutes from her Ellis
County farm home to work for Magnolia
Petroleum Co.
She practices law in Ferries on the side,
keeps an interest in the family farm and
teaches a Presbyterian Sunday school
class of high school youngsters. She i» a
member ol the Ellis County Farm Bureau,
which interest gives her further insight
into legislative problems.
I he House investigating committee,
which gained for Miss Duff the continuiog
respect of her colleagues, was not the only
unseemly assignment she has received. She
also served as chairman of the House com-
mittee on penitentiaries in the last session.
While she leans toward a liberal view-
point on many legislative issues, her judge-
ment also has a respect that led Gov. Allan
Shivers to name her on his state advisory
council on segregation in the public
schools.
Miss Duff has opposition for re-election,
from a former legislator and a resident of
her district’s largest city, Waxahachie. Her
friends do not doubt that she can win her
fourth term.'She has beat the same oppon-
ent before.
