WASHINGTON CP\—Threaten-
ed ruin of 4 million acres of East
Texas pine forests by beetle infes-
tation has produced a coordinated
effort by three Texas House Dem-
ocrats who don’t always t>ee eye
to eye.
The trio are Reps. Jack Brooks
of Beaumont, usually a supporter
of administration programs, Rep.
John Dowdy of Athens, usually
avainst them, and Boh Casey of
Houston, who is approximately in
the middle.
They've conferred with
Secretary Orville L. Freeman
and other Agriculture Depart-
ment officials and were pro-
mised early federal participa-
tion in an eradication drive if
the state and owners of pri-
vate timber lands share the
coat.
The $1.2 million spraying pro
gram is planned, with the gov-
ernment, state and land owners
each putting up $400,000.
A delegation of East Texans
outlined the problem to Freeman
in a conference here. Ollie Craw-
ford, Jasper pulp and paper com-
pany executive, acted a spokes-
man. Joining in the meeting were
Bnoks and Casey while Frank
Driskill, aide to Dowdy, and Alex
Dickie, Jr., admirn traitive assist-
ant to Sen. Ralph Yarborough, D-
Tcx., represented their bosses.
Here’s the situation:
The present epidemic is the
worst on record. The tiny insects
swarm and fly in mass from one
area to another to kill or seriously
damage trees in plots up to ltrti,-
OOO acres.
Since 1958 the infestation has
been increasing with the result
that 20,thtl acres have been de-
stroyed. Timlx-r with a value of
$250 million is threatened.
The govi rnment already is do-
ing research on the southern pine
beetle at its New Orleans labora-
tory. The goal is to cuib or elimi-
nate completely the recurring loss
from the Insect.
Around the Capital:
1 New on the Washington scene
is Driskill, now handling public
and press relations for Dowdy.
Born Aug 17, 1911, in Crockett,
where he still maintains his legal
residence, Driskill for years did
campaign work for former Texas
(iov, Allan Shivers and handled
public relations for Preston Smith
in the Utter's recent successful
run-off primary fight for Demo-
cratic nomination for lieutenant
governor.
Drixkill. graduate of South-
western at Georgetown, later
attended the University of
'lexax nnd won a master's de-
gree in agricultural economics
at I exs- \,V M ill l‘t (7.
From 1 !*31 to 1938 he taught
economic courses at Aggieland,
then for Dl yeai - traveled through-
out Texas as a college textbook
salesman.
In 1956 he served as assistant
to Karl Rudder, now president of
Texas A AM. when Rudder was
Texas state land commissioner.
Driskiil’s wife is still at their
Austin home, hut plans to join
him there. They have two sons,
Robert and William, both college
students.
