vation and flood control.
The report shows that total runoff from recent
rains was as much as 15,000.000 acre feet, or
nearly as much as in the entire year 1954. Hut
34 reservoirs impounded more than 5,000.000
acre feet which otherwise would have added to
the flooding, and which now can be used, except
of course, for the amount to be lost through
evaporation.
As a result, many cities now have a record
volume of surface water supply. But more re-
servoirs are needed to assure enough water for
Texas’ growing cities and to guard further
against disastrous floods. Besides these two
major reasons for additional storage, there arc
side results of much importance. Part ot the
water in reservoirs finds its way into the under-
ground water strata, replenishing them The
shallower strata in many places are now ex
hausted and almost everywhere the water level
has dropped even in the deeper sands. Also, m
many instances stored water can be used tor
irrigation . . . Both for water supply and tor
flood control, Texas needs more reservoirs.

ENNIS HAS A MOVIE STAR. Marine Private Harold R. Taylor,
son of Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Taylor of Ennis, played a part in the new
Jack Webb movie, “The D. I ", which we gather means the Drill
Instructor. Sketches of the picture are to be previewed on the
Ed Sullivan Show Sunday night. Private Taylor, who was recently
home on leave, is stationed at Camp Pendleton. California.

FLASH! One of the new wire services received from an undeter-
mined source an erronious report that the Ennis city water supply
was contaminated as a result of the storm here.
This incorreet report was widely circulated by area radio and
television stations. City Manager George Schrader says that the
reports are inaccurate and the ENNIS WATER IS SAFE.
SEVERAL INQUIRES ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF RAIN this
afternoon have come in. City Pump Station reports 1.37 inches
measured between 2 and 2:30 with some rain still falling.

WASHINGTON, D. C. May 23.
Highest • level diplomatic con-
ference m 178 years of United
Stales diplomatic relations was
held last .1 mu* in Panama. More
Presidents of sovereign states
were gathured there to meet
with President Eisenhower than
anywhere or at any time in his-
tory.
Ihe meetings was greeted
with great fanfare in the Latin
American press -fanfare delib-
erately encouraged by American
diplomats. Some Latin American
Presidents who hung back,
doubted the advisability of at-
tending. were urged by United
States ambassadors to be on
deek When the President was
willing to leave his hospital bed
alter an ileitis operation, it was
intimated, big things would be
happening in Panama The trip
was not merely to convince the
American public that he had
recovered, diplomats said.
\t Panama, a committee was
appointed to carry out the long-
rangi* President's Plan for Pan
Americanism. The committee
was headed by Ike's brother
.Milton. It held several meetings,
and now. 10 months after the
momentous event in Panama, it
is bringing forth its momentous
recommendations.
Most Latin American diplo-
mats had figured the United
States would at least set up a
fund similar to tho Near East
doctrine fund to battle Commu-
nism and develop Latin America.
They watched the money being
sent to Poland, Yugoslavia,
Saudi Arabia and Southwest
Asia, figured a revolving fund
around $100,000,000 was the
least that would come out of the
unprecedented meeting in
Panama.
Instead, an annual total of $3.-
387,700 is recommended — of
which the Latin governments
themselves will put up almost
half. There is also $19,979,000
to fight malaria over a five-year
period, but this is contingent on
further negotiations with va-
rious organizations.
The projects adopted arc
healthy and worth while — but
the amounts to finance them are
considered a drop in the bucket
by Latin diplomats. It should
not have required a high-power-
ed meeting of the greatest num-
ber of Presidents ever to con-
vene on the American continent,
they say. to put across such a
program. It could have been
adopted by the Pan American
Union itself.
The projects include $1,100,-
()<M) for expanding the Institute
of Agriculture at Turrilba.
Costa Rica, to study the effect
of nuclear energy on agriculture
--and for two other agriculture
centers to study the disease of
bananas and cocoa in Ecuador
and temperate diseases in Uru-
guay. $275,000 for the study of
workers housing; $500,000 addi-
tional for scholarships; $120,000
for technical assistance; $210,*
000 for public relations; and $9.*
$90,000 for a nuclear energy
agency. These are to be annual
expenditures—if each govern-
ment now approves.
By BMW NAUON
Remarked one Latin Ameri-
can ambassador :"We’re not
communistic enough to get any
real help from the United
States.”
NO BRIDGE FOR PANAMA
When President Eisenhower
was in Panama he signed an act
of Congress providing for a
bridge to be built across the
Panama Canal at Balboa.
This bridge bad been prom-
ised Panamanians for 15 years.
Without it they have to ferry
across the Canal or else cross at
the Miraflores Locks several
miles away. So there was great
rejoicing in Panama when Presi-
dent Eisenhower posed for a spe-
cial photograph alongside his
Panamanian host, President
Arias, signing this bill.
Before the signing ceremony.
Jules Dubois, Latin American
correspondent for The Chicago
Tribune, asked President Arias
for comment.
'•I have to look at the bill."
Arias replied. "1 don’t know
whether it’s an authorization or
an appropriation."
Educated in the United States
•—the President of Panama knew
all too well that there was a big
difference between an authori-
zation by Congress and an ap-
propriation by Congress.
After the signing ceremony,
Dubois asked:
"Now you’ve seen the bill.
What was it?’
"An authorization," replied
Arias.
“What’s your comment?”
"Still no comment.”
President Arias's skepticism
was Justified. Last week t h c
House of Representatives in its
mad rush for economy chopped
out a $1,000,000 appropriation
for beginning the Balboa bridge.
The people of Panama will have
to ferry across the Canal for a
few more vears.
COST OF U. S. INFORMATION
Economy - minded Allen El-
lcnder of Louisiana is one Sena-
tor who doesn’t economize with
a meat-ax. As a member of the
Senate Appropriations Commit-
tee of The State Department he
goes abroad every summer to
study appropriations Before he
leaves he sends each United
States embassy a questionnaire
asking details on its expenses.
He sticks these in his brief case
—then leaves to double-check
Embassy spending.
Caterer--Charles Muirhcad
One thing Ellendcr discovered
last summer was that U. S. In-
formation officers were getting
as much as $28,788 in salaries,
travel, and other allowances.
When Senators compared this
with their own salary of $22,500
the U .S. Information Agency
didn't have a chance.
Highest paid public informa-
tion officer is C. Robert Payne
at Teheran who draws a salary
of $14,600 plus $2,190 for a
hardship post, plus $3,000 for
quarters, plus $3,579 for travel,
plus $5,269 for transfer.
Other highly paid Information
officers include Ralph Powell in
Formosa. $26,949 including al-
lowances and transportation;
William Copeland in Manila,
$25,276: Robert Lochner at Sai-
gon. lndo China. $21,781; V.
George Sayles at Bangkok. $22.-
173; Everett Rcb at Beirut,
Lebanon. $20,928. Of course it
should be noted that these in-
formation officers do not bene-
fit from the cost of transfeering
them abroad or travel inside the
country where they are station-
ed. This is money out of pock-
et; nevertheless, it looked like a
big item to poorly paid Senators.
On top of this it was discov-
ered that Victor Hauge, brother
of Gabriel Hauge—a member of
the White House staff, was on
the payroll as Information of-
ficer in Tokyo. This did not help
the U. S. Information Agency—
appropriation a bit.
