New Program
Is Offered
By Air Force
Sgt. Lee Rankin, The Air Force
Recruiter in Hondo, has been
notified by Capt. Thomas H. Ba-
ker, Commander of USAF Re-
cruiting Detachment, San An-
tonio, of a new Air Force pro-
gram which permits young men
to select their career field before
they enlist. "
This is a radical departure from
AF practices Capt. Baker said.
Under ths new policy each
young man, prior to enlistment,
will be given aptitude tests in San
Antonio and can choose the field
in which he would like to receive
training, commensurate with his
proven aptitudes as shown in the
test scores. Further, he will be
guaranteed technical school train-
ing in the field he selects upon
completion of his training at
Lackland Air Force Base.
This program is only being used
in this area and one other within
the United States. The young men
of this area have an opportunity
to get a jump ahead of other
young men going into the Air
Force at present by being able to
pick the specific career field they
want before enlistment.
Enlistments under this program
are now being taken by Sgt. Ran-
kin. He can be contacted at the
Post Office on the second and
fourth Tuesday of each Month.
His office is open from 12 noon
to 2 p.m.

AUSTIN, Tex. - Conservative
and liberal alemocrata are
battling each other. Republicans
are active. But the Constitution
Party of Texas now it in the
spotlight.
At their Austin meeting the
Constitution Party grabbed head-
lines by naming, as their nomi-
nees, prominent Democrats who
have been active in recent cam-
paigns. Their choice included W.
Lee CDaniel for Governor; J.
Evetts Haley for Lt. Governor;
Reuben Senterfltt for Attorney
General; Warren G. Harding for
State Treasurer, and Ron Carl-
ton for the Court of Criminal
Appeals.
Congressional candidates will
be chosen later. >
Secretary of State Tom Reav-
ley challenged the Constitution
Party's right to nominate any
candidate who had been defeated
for the same office in the recent
primaries.
Joseph M. Rummler of Hous-
ton is state chairman of the Cons-
titution Party. Their presidential
nominee is Democrat T. Coleman
Andrews, former Internal Reve-
nue Commissioner of Richmond,
Va. Former Republican Con-
gressman Thomas Werdell of
California is their vice presiden-
tial choice.
Major plank in the party’s plat-
form is elimination of federal in-
come taxes.
Artificial Rain
Possibility of moistening
droughty Texas by artificial
rainmaking may be debated in
the next Legislature.
After hearing state and federal
experts at an Austin meeting, the
Texas Water Resources Commit-
tee voted to dig deeper into the
subject. If findings are favorable,
the committee indicated it would
recommend legislation and ap-
propriations for a long-range,
statewide project.
Scientists were cautious in
their claims before the commit-
tee. Much is yet to be learned
about what makes rain, they said,
and previous experiments have
not yet been thoroughly evaluat-
ed. But they agreed prospects
were promising enough to merit
further research.
"Soaker" Wanted
Scattered showers have helped,
but most Texas farmers still are
scanning the skies for a ‘.‘fall
soaker.”
U. S. Dept, of Agriculture’s
latest crop report reflected in-
creasingly critical conditions. Ex-
amples: cattle, “forced to Mar-
ket”; peanuts, “past redemp-
tion”; dryland cotton, "extreme-
ly short”; vegetable planting,
“limited.” Only irrigated cotton
was reported “fruiting heavily."

01 Lean Payments
Delinquencies on veterans lend
loans have dropped It per cent
since 1994, said Lead Commr.
Earl Rudder.
Payment failures ran 20 per
cent on loans made under his
predecessor, Bascom Giles, said
Rudder. Under the new adminis-
tration they have dropped to one
per cent.
Some 13,000 requests from vet-
erans for loans now are pending
before the land board. Present
funds will stretch over only about
1,000. More money will be avail-
able if voters approve a cons-
titutional amendment for a new
$100,000,000 bond issue at the
general election.
Rail SuH Ruling
Smithville, an old railroad
town, lost another round in its
prolonged attempts to retain of-
fices of the Missouri-KansasrTex-
as line.
An Austin district court upheld
the Jtailroad Commission order
permitting consolidation of
Smithville and Waco offices.
Unique aspect of the case was
the “all-star” legal line-up, A
former Supreme Court Justice,
James P. Hart, represented
Smithville. Former governor Dan
Moody represented the railroad.
Insurance Coda
Texas’ new “model insurance
code” now ia in full force and
effect.
Last measure to be activated
requires companies to have a
minimum of 100 policyholders
and $200,000 insurance in force.
An Insurance Commission
spokesman called the require-
ments “actually very easy to
meet” and predicted almost 100
per cent compliance.
Target of the law are com-
panies which, for tax purposes,
have operated other type busi-
nesses under the guise of insur-
ance firms.
Both Governor Shivers and
Commission Chairman B r yon
Saunders have praised the state’s
insurance laws in recent state-
ments. Saunders said Texas does
not need “any additional reform
measures,” only •‘minor chang
es.”
Lot* Accreditation
Eight Texas schools have been
removed from the accredited list
by the State Board of Education.
In addition, the board warned
111 other schools they must im-
prove their standards.
Stripped of accreditation were
Bexar County School for Boys,
Carey (Childress County), Doug-
lassville (Cass County), Houston
Christian School, New Hope
(Wood County), Scranton (East-
. land County), Strong (Shelby
j County) and Sacred Heart (Cooke near Rockport, over the
County). : end.
