Soliciting Ban Bill
Will Be Introduced
AUSTIN— P> Among proposed
legislation headed toward house
and senate hoppers Saturday ap-
peared a bill prohibiting anyone
from soliciting funds for services
in behalf of persons eligible for
social security benefits
Its author, Lonnie Alsup, blind
representative from Carthage, said
its intent was to prevent in Texas
repetition of experiences of other
states.
He added it would not ban or-
ganization of old age pension eligi-
bles or anyone else among them-
selves hut would prevent profiteer-
ing on them.
AUSTIN — Six hundred out of
every thirty-six hundred children
in the public schools of Texas are
undernourished, it is indicated by a
survey just completed by the Bu-
reau of Nutrition and Health Edu-
cation at the University of Texas
The older the children, the great-
er the numoer of undernourished
boys and girls, the survey revealed
Undernourished children seem to be
taller in statue and lighter in weight,
and. in fact, •‘definitely inferior in
strength to the well-nourished chil-
dren.” Th®re appeared to be little
or no relationship between nutri-
tional status and ability in strength
and skill.
This survev was conducted in the
school systems in Corpus Christi.
Taylor. Ti ler. Victoria and Waco by
Miss Alice H Miller, field repre-
sentative of the University Bu-
reau. with the assistance of class-
room teachers who supervised the
children at play rather than in a
program of specialized skills and
muscular coordination
A total of 3 611 children 1.872
hoys and 1.739 girls all between
the ages of 7 and 12 years were
studied. It was found that 307 buys
and 293 girls were undernourished,
though there seemed to be no ap-
preciable difference in the number
of undernourished m the two sexes
“An element which might ac-
count for the seeminglv higher fre-
quency of undernourishment in the
12-year old group is the fact that
the majority of children tested were
in the elementary school." the sur-
vey pointed out. "Well-developed
children who could pass as being
older might have been more apt to
have dropped out of school to work
than weak and young looking 12-
year olds; while the bright children
of this age might be in the junior
high school and thus have escap-
ed the test ”
Results of the survey are incor-
porated in a bulletin. "A Brief Study
,.f Nutritional Status in Relation to
Strength and Skill." which has just
come from the Univers.ty Press.

benefit payments probably twice
as large as those now available to
growers.
A third plan would provide for
loans at greatly reduced rates with
substantial increases m benefit
payments
The belief was expressed at the
grower conferences that the pres-

There was some doubt as to
whether the vast amount of detail

before the regulations can be plac-

fruit Just what this price will be
remains for the committees to re-
commend and for the commtssion-
of agriculture to approv® and
■ there is some little sentiment in
favor of a moderate beginning

also was regarded as unlikely that
regulations would be made m re-

first two-weeks period un*il the
fresh fruit deal could be gotten
under way but no one would speaK

f there were no violations that
the cost would be reduced to a
minimum represented by the ex-

small amount of additional help
However, if enf >rcement runs as
high as $1800 a month because of
