MARCH OF DIMES
HELPS REDUCE
POLIO DEATH RATE

First major epidemic
(27,363 cases) recorded
26.2% DIED
epidemic
1949 (427366 cases) ever recorded in U. S.
6.4% DIED
The significant reduction in the polio death rate during the past few
decades is attributed by the National Foundation for Infantile Paraly-
sis to two factors: 1) more accurate reporting of less serious polio
cases in recent years and 2) the greater development and availability
of improved treatment methods and equipment made possible in large
nart by the March of Dimes. January is 1952 March of Dimes month.

HOME FOLKS SPECULATE ON PRICE DANIEL
The presence of Price Daniel, Attorney General of Texas, and his family in their
home town of Liberty during the holidays icreased speculation that the historic old
city might furnish Texas another Governor or Senator in 1952. The fast Liberty lawyer
to hold these offices was Sam Houston who is Mrs. Daniel’s Great - Great - Grand-
father. Pictured above are the Attorney General, Mrs. Daniel and their four children,
Price Jr.; Jean; Houston Lee; and John.
LIBERTY CITIZENS THINK THEY
HAVE ANSWER TO 52 POLITICS
LIBERTY, TEXAS, Dec. 30
(Special)—Historic Liberty, ‘bird
oldest city in Texas, literally
buzzed during the holidays with
the talk of furnishing Texas a new
senator or governor in 1952.
The town’s native son, Attorney
General Price Daniel, and his fam-
ily were at home. As the State’s
chief lawyer walked the streets
where as a boy he had sold news-
papers, his homefolks speculated
more than ever about the part
their town would play in politics
of the New Year.
The last Liberty lawyer to serve
as governor or United States Sen-
ator was Sam Houston. He served
in both offices.
Price Daniel’s law office in Lib-
erty was on the exact spot where
Sam Houston had his office. What
is more. Daniel married Houston’s
°reat-great grand-daughter, Jean
Houston Baldwin. While living in
Austin temporarily, they and their
four children spend Christmas and
vacations here.
Liberty has had a long claim on
the fighting attorney general and
his family. His ancestors settled
here in 1824 and helped Mexican
officials build the town in 1831.
His great-great-grandfather. Hugh
B. Johnston, was the first alcalde
and engaged in the early conflicts
of the Texas revolution. This ac-
counts for some of Price Daniel’s
interest in Texas history and his
nncomnromising fight to keep the
federal government from taking
the Texas tidelands away from the
State’s public school fund.
All these bits of history are re-
counted as Liberty folks oredict
that the mantle of Sam Houston
will fall on the capable shoulders
of Price Daniel in 1952. They ad-
mit after several days of visiting
with him that they do not know
which of the two offices Daniel
will seek, but they will give odds
that it will be the senate.
Neighbors Comment
A Liberty merchant put it this
way: .
"Price Daniel has been fighting
iftgainst the Truman tidelands steal
and other federal encroachments
for several years. He never gives
up. He has some unfinished busi-
ness in Washington, some scores
to settle with those who robbed this
State, and you can bet that we will
win the tidelands in Congress if
Price Daniel gets a seat in the
United States Senate.”
A county official and former law
Dartner also believes Daniel has
his eye on Washington and is
waiting only for a decision by
Governor Shivers that he will run
for re-election instead of the Sen-
ate. This man said:
"Price is a natural-born fighter,
smart in the books, a forceful
speaker, and honest as the day
is long. His heart is in the fight
to save the tidelands for Texas
schools, and he will fump at the
chance to run for the Senate
because he believes *he fight can
be won there.”
The homefolks would be proud
to see Daniel run for either gov-
ernor or senator, and judging from
the way they talk and the way
they voted in his last contested
race, they will sunport him strong
■for either job. His home county
gave him a vote of 4944 to 778
for his opDonent in 1946. the larg-
est majority received by any sta’te
official in his own county. In the
last two elections Daniel has been
unoonosed for Attorney General.
When asked for a preference,
Liberty people almost invariably
speak of the Senate. The reason
is clear. They are fed up on the
scandals of the Truman adminis-
tration, mad about the tidelands
grab, tired of government waste
and extravagance, and displeased
with the foreign policy in China
and Korea.
They believe Price Daniel has
the nerve to oppose these things
and to "fight for Texas and for
honesty in government”, as one
man put it. They point to his fight
against organized crime in Texas
and predict that he would be as
good as Kefauver or Fulbright in
investigating corruption and de-
manding 9 housecleaning in the
federal government.
Above all, they point out that
Daniel has no obligations to the
Truman administration which
would interfere with or slow up
his work. They recall that Daniel
came out boldly, last October,
against the renomination of Presi-
dent Truman and said Texas should
lead the way in finding a Democra-
tic nominee who would respect and
uphold the Texas Annexation
Agreement.
Expect January Decision
It won’t be long now. Sometime
in January Price Daniel will an-
nounce one way or the other, for
senator or governor. Liberty folks
are for him win. lose or draw, but
they’ll nuickly tell you that on his
record Price is not a "loser” or
“drawer”, hut always a winner.
This is backed up by a set of
solid facts which go back to his
boyhood when he delivered the
Beaumont Enterprise and Houston
Post in the mornings and ran a
lanririrv route in the afternoons.
Tt continued when he went to
Fort Worth to attend high school*
where he won everv deha* cham-
nionchip. edited a weeklv magazine
for Fort Worth high schools, and
was a cub reporter for the Star-
Telegram.
At Baylor University he majored
in formalism before takino- law. Hp
edited the campus dailv "The T,a-,
riat” and the vearbook “The
Ronnd-Un” and served as repor
ter for tbp Waco-Ne vs Tribute. He
holds A.B.. LL.B. and LL.D. de-
groop from Baylor.
Returning to Liberty, Danielj
hung out his shingTp as a lawver
and hpcarnp co-nuhlisher of the
Liberty Vindicator and the Ana-
huac Progress. He served two
vears as nresident of thp local
Ghamber of Gomm^mo. was nwti.
dent and teacher of a men’s hihle
olass. and Master of the Masonic
Lodge._
During his eleven years as a
lawyer-publisher, he served six
years in the House of Representa-
tives and was elected speaker of
the house as another tribute to
his leadership.
The armed services saw Daniel’s;
leadership in two branches, the
Armv and fhe Marine Corps. Waiv-
ing his legislative exemption, he
entered the army as a nrivate and
emerged as a captain. He saw ser-
vice with the Marine Corps in
Japan on special assignment from
the Army.
As attorney general. Daniel has
gained nationwide attention for
his tidelands defense and his fight
against organized crime. On the
latter, he was comnlimented in
the final report of the Kefauver
committee.
At 41, with a long list of
achievements behind him, he is
still just “Price” to young and old *
alike in Liberty. They are ready
to help him make another step
up, and if they have their wish,
it will be in the direction of Wash-
ington, D. C„ and the United
States Senate.

Do you have
U. S. Series E Defense
Bonds maturing
this year?
Good news! A new law says now
those bonds can keep on earning
you interest up to 10 longer
—without your lifting a
A
kRE you one of those wise and patri-
otic people who bought Series E
Defense Bonds ten years ago and have
held them to maturity? Congratulate
yourself! Because the new Bond Law, just passed by
Congress, now makes them pay off even better than
you had expected!
Now, without having to do a thing, you can let those bonds
go on earning extra interest for ten years more.
Yes, now the bond which cost you $18.75 will pay you
not $25.00 but $33.33! Your $37.50 bond will pay not
$50, but $66.66. Your $75 bond will pay $133.33.
And so on.
To get this extra money, there’s absolutely nothing you
have to do. Just hold your bonds and let them go on
earning interest for you.
If you wish, you may still redeem any Series E Bond
at any time after you’ve owned it for 60 days. But
you’ll be better off to hold your bonds, just as you’re
better off to hold savings in any form.
Cash in the pocket melts away fast — often with little
or nothing to show for it.' But cash in bond savings
is always there—growing steadily toward the big sum
which can buy something really worth while.
So if you have bonds coming due, why not take the wise
course? Just sit back and let them go on making money..
And meanwhile keep adding to your cash savings by
buying more U. S. Defense Bonds regularly—through
the Payroll Savings Plan where you work or the Bond-
A-Month Plan where you bank.
If you want to be paid your interest as current income
The new law also allows you to exchange your Series E
Bonds, in blocks of $500 or more, for Special Series G Bonds
which pay interest semiannually at the rate of 2 lA % per
year. For full details, ask at any Federal Reserve Bank.
Look how your maturing bonds go on earning under the new lawl
(Thit table thaws $25, $50, and $100 bonds as examples of how ALL Series E Bonds grow.)
