A ceiling on government
spending was urged here
Thursday by State Repre-
sentative Joe N. Chapman
as an assurance of the
preservation of individual
freedom.
The proposal was made dur-
ing a discussion of two basic
needs of government advanced
by the legislator in a talk be-
fore the Rotary Club. They
are:
1— To determine what por-
tion of the national income
should be spent by govern-
ment.
2— To determine the divi-
sion of spending authority
among the various branches
of government.
“Somewhere there should be
a line of demarcation,’’ Chap-
man declared in discussing his
first issue. “As the government
collects more and more money,
it increases its powers corres-
pondingly and private individ-
uals lose their freedoms.
“This is something the think-
ing people of America should
start thinking about. The gov-
ernment is now spending more
than the amount which Frank-
lin D. Roosevelt said would
make us a socialistic state.”
The speaker reported that
68 cents of every Texas tax
dollar now goes to Washington,
leaving 32 cents to be divided
among schols, counties, cities
and the state.
Vital Question
.“The ultimate division of
the tax dollar may determine
the course of the nation,” he
added. “It will determine the
future of the country.”
Chapman pointed out that
the legislature is faced with
the issue of whether to vote
more state taxes to provide
more services and avoid fed-
eral intervention or to spend
less and allow the federal gov-
ernment to take over the field.
“This problem is very real,”
he added.
Chapman reviewed the re-
cent 30-day special session of
the legislature. He pointed out
the law makers were called to
act on four bills and ended up
with 215 actually introduced
and 80 passed.
“Actually, it is much more
important to kill a lot of the
legislation that is introduced
than it is to pass more legisla-
tion,” he added.
Top Action* Luted
He listed major ne laws pass-
ed as including the bank es-
cheat plan, farm-market road
program election code changes,
a measure to permit counties to
vote on abolishing the office

Space Adventures
Told by Astronaut
Panther-Like
Animal Seen
At Sulphur Bluff
A huge cat described as re-
sembling a panther was report-
ed seen near Sulphur Bluff*
Tuesday night.
Marlon Skeen and Johnny
Burns encountered the animal
crossing a road as they were
approaching a hill between the
Michael Bolton and Henry
George Smith ranches after
they had taken Bolton home,
Skeen said he had seen the
cat before and described it as
a yellow creature about two
feet tall. Several coon hunt*
ers are reported to have tried
unsuccessfully to tree the cat
before.
A bear was reported seen in
the Sulphur Bluff area several
months ago by Gerald Gooduon.
Large cat tracks also have been
seen.
Residents of Sulphur Bluff
are discussing a cat hunt Sat-
urday night. Anyone with dogs
suited for the purpose is wel-
come to participate.

Stolen Car
Found Thursday
A 1950 Ford which was stolen
Wednesday night from H. B.
Harrington was found early
Thursday afternoon on a farm
east of the city.
The condition of the vehicle
wa3 not immediately available
while police were checking it,
but at least one tire was re-
ported missing.
The vehicle disappeared
about 10:30 p. m.. while it was
parked on Alabama Street.
Grand Turk Island, Bahamas,
Feb. 22 t— Astronaut John
Glenn described more of his
space adventures today and he
was described as getting a wee
bit nervous over the public wel-
come scheduled for tomorrow.
His experiences in space, as
related to associates on Grand
Turk Island, included a vain
attempt to get his hands on a
camera film container which
went floating around in his
capsule in a state of weightless-
ness.
He also told of turning his
spaceship completel around, the
better to observe the myster-
ious “fireflies” t h at showed
up outside the capsule at sun-
rise. Glenn was up at 6 a. m.
today for more phyical check-
ups.
Dr. William K. Douglas, his
personal physician, said he’s
doing wonderfully.
Tomorrow, Glenn flies to
Cape Canaveral to meet Pres-
ident Kennedy and hold a news
conference. Lieutenlant Colonel
John Powers of the space
agency says that prospect has
Glenn a bit nervous.
Dr. Douglas said Glenn’s ac-
tions showed that a man is
highly useful in space flight and
can do things that electronic in-
struments cannot.
Glenn showed curiosity and
judgment, as in turning the
ship about on his own decision,
to face forward toward the sun
to see whether the luminous
particles flying outside his ship
were still visible.
He could still see them com-
ing from the same direction. He
then turned his ship back to its
usual position.
CRACKS DOWN ON TERRORISM
Dominican Republic
Declares Emergency
Santo Domingo, Feb. 22 (/PI
— The embattled government
of the Dominican Republic
cracked down on terrorism to-
day aganist a backdrop of
flaming cane fields and sugar
mills. The wave of arson was
the worst since last month
when a military uprising broke
out, but was crushed. Today, a
state of emergency has been
damped on the little republic.
Dominican President Rafael
Bonnelly has ordered seizure
of property belonging to lead-
ers identified with the ousted
dictatorship of the Trujillo
family. Bonnelly charges that
his regime is menaced by a
conspiracy of both left and
light
&mm
that international Communists
have been using Trujillo mon-
ey to agitate in the Domincan
Republic and hamper its at-
tempts to restore the economy
at home and credit abroad. The
regime has warned that any-
one considered a threat to the
national peace will be deport-
ed.
Informed sources in the cap-
ital city of Santo Domingo say
that five young leftists have
been arrested and are accused
of smuggling arms into the is-
land nation. - .
As the state of emergency
was proclaimed yesterday, six
fires broke out. This brings to
116 the number of fires set in
cane fields and mills in recent
Dr. Douglas told of a bit of
camera trouble. When Glenn
was changing film, a container
escaped from his hand and
floated in front of him since it
also was weightless.
Glenn reached out to get it,
but hit it with his fingertips
and it went soaring away. He
never did find it.
The astronaut said he had
no problems eating in space,
taking applesauce from a
squeeze tube, and chewing
malted milk tablets.
He said astronauts are wise
not to take such delicacies as
cake up into the heavens. Cake
would crumble away and litter
up the cabin.

FBI Director
Says US Needs
Alert Patriots &
Valley Forge, Pa., Feb. 22 C?)
—FBI Director J. Edgar Hoov-
er says the US is in constant
need of patriots to wage war
on crime and communism. Hoo-
ver spoke while accepting the
Freedoms Foundation top award
as the American making the
most outstanding contribution
to freedom last year.
Hoover said America is loos-
ing its fight against crime
when, “we tolerate weaknesses
in the administration of jus-
tice.” He added that commun-
ism combines with crime to
lower national standards of
moral behavior. And he charg-
ed Russian, Cuban and other
Communist leaders with stak-
ing their future on what he
called the hope that an army
of slaves dragging their chains
can overtake free Americans,
some of whom they see drag-
ging their feet. He said anti-
communism is not enough—that
Americans must aggressively
attack the Red menace.
Hoover was honored with
other top winners in a remodel-
ed colonial barn overlooking
George Washington’s winter
encampment at Valley Forge.
This was the second time in
the Freedoms Foundation’s 13-
year history that the FBI chief
has been awarded the George
Washington Medal. The top
prize 'is valued at $5,000.

Berliners Cheer
Robert Kennedy
Berlin, Feb. 22 (#1 — Attor-
ney General Robert Kennedy
flew to West Berlin without
Soviet hindrance in the air
corridors today. After taking
his first look at the Commun-
ist wall, he called it a “terrible"
indictment” of the Commun-
ists.
In a speech at City Hall,
Kennedy addressed tens of
thousands of West Berliners.
He declared that East German
Conimunist leader W'alter Ul-
bricht built the wall across the
divided city because he could
not tolerate the contrast be-
tween communism and free-
dom.
As he began to speak, the
communists sent up two bal-
loons bearing Red flags and
propaganda slogans from East
Berlin.
The crowd booed, whistled
and catcalled at the Commun-
ist demonstration. The attor-
ney - general said : “The Com-
munists let their balloons go
through but not their people.”

TERRORISM CONTINUES
By Auociated Pres#
Soviet Premier Khrush-
chev is said to have made
a new appeal to President
Kennedy for an early sum-
mit conference on disarm-
ament. This is understood
to be the gist of a note from
Khrushchev to Kennedy today,
a reply to the U.S.-British re-
jection of a quick summit
meeting.
Khrushchev also sent a new
message to British Prime Min-
ister Macmillan. Thare’s no
word on its contents, but It pre-
sumably also deals with disarm-
ament. Meanwhile, reports were
heard in London that Khrush-
chev plans to attend next
month’s disarmament talks at
Geneva—whether or not Ken-
nedy or Macmillan go.
The U.S. and British position
is that a foreign ministers
meeting should procede any
summit meeting on disarma-
ment, to see whether any real
progress can be made at that
level before going to the sum-
mit.
Thus, the U.S. and British
in messages to Khrushchev Feb.
14th, rejected his bid for a
quick meeting at next month’s
18-nation meeting in Geneva.
But today’s message from
Khrushchev is said to still be
plugging for an early summit
meeting.
However, informed sources
say Khrushchev’s message
neither accepts or rejects the
plan of Kennedy and British
Prime Minister Macmillan for
lower level tallui before a sum-
mit meeting.
These sources term Khrush-
chev’s wording ambiguous.
Khrushchev also is said to
have not made clear whether
he or his foreign minister will
go to the Geneva conference.

Sanity Hearing
Kermit, Feb. 22 — A let-

whom he is charged with kill-
ing featured the opening of a
sanity hearing for an Odessa
high school youth.
The young man, 18-year-old
Mack Herring, is charged with
murder in the shotgun death
last Mar. 22nd of 17-year-old
Elizabeth Jean Williams. She
was his schoolmate at Odessa.
Attorneys selected a jury of
eight men and four women
Tuesday for the murder trial.
However, Judge G. C. Olsen
granted a last-minute defense
request for a sanity trial to
precede a possible murder
trial — and court was recessed
until today.

Algiers, Feb. 22 MPI—French
government forces in Algeria1
are getting set for a major
showdown with the European
secret army. The army has
continued its terrorist tactics
even while the arrangements
ure being made. At least elev-
en persons were killed in scat-
tered terrorism in •ATRriers to-
day.
The Algerian rebels’ parlia-
ment, meanwhile, is meeting in
Tripoli, Libya, to give expect-
ed approval to an, agreement
to end the Algerian war — an
agreement which is expected
to set off the French show-
down with the secret army de-
terminedr to keep Algeria
French. . ,
The Algerian rebel cabinet
is understood to have approv-
ed a peace agreement with
France before it left Tunis for
Libya and the rebel parliament
meeting. The French cabinet

ment of more than 100 pages,
providing for a cease-fire in
Algeria and steps toward a re-
ferendum which President De
