THE PADUCAH POST, PADUCAH, TEXAS, THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1964
District, county, city and pre-
cinct officials learned the hard
way from the Texas Supreme
Court that the constitution and
laws mean what they say.
Since 1876, the constitution
has provided that a federal or
state official is not eligible to
serve in the Texas Legislature
“during the term to which he
was elected” to his previous of-
fice.
Even resignation before fil-
ing will not cure the ineligibil-
ity, the high court held in rul-
ing former Bexar Commissioner
Sam Jorrie off the ballot as a
House candidate and in refus-
ing to order ex-Fort Worth City
Councilman Doyle Willis certi-
fied as a Senate candidate.
Jorrie has resigned February
1, and his successor has been

s named. Willis’ place was auto-
a matically vacated when he fil-
ed for the Senate. His succes-
sor, too, has been named.
The decisions also will apply
to a Port Arthur city council-
man, Bob Wyde, and to a Fort
Worth constable, O. L. Watson
Jr., both of whom had filed in
the Democratic primary for leg-
islative seats.
In a Travis County case, the
Court held that Justice of the
Peace Curtis Lacy could not
run for re-election because he
had moved out of the precinct,
and did not meet the law’s
standerd which is: You must
have lived in the precinct, coun-
ty or district you seek to repre-
sent for at least six months be-
fore the primary or general
election at which you seek to
be elected.
Supreme Court also kept in
force an earlier decision that
slant-hole oil wells can be re-
drilled or straightened. A Rail-
road Commission motion for re-
hearing was refused.
In a San Antonio case, the
Court agreed with a Court of
Civil Appeals ruling that in-
come from a Texas trust could
not be spent for establishing a
non-medical “clinic-hospital” in
California which would be illeg-
al in Texas.

Reasons For More Concentrated
Efforts In Education
A. Jobs will require more specialized training. Jobs that
are now held by a high school graduate will demand
qualified trained employees.
B. The population explosion is crowding colleges. If the
colleges can't expand fast enough to meet the entry appli-
cations, entry qualification could become much higher.
This places a very heavy and responsible burden on our
school system. ( ; _ ,
C. According to school administrators (generally all over
the nation) methods being learned in the sciences and
mathematics are being taught by methods used 20-25
years ago. This should be changed to meet the demands
of the present and of the future. By doing this a higher
social and economic position, for a community, will be
achieved for today and for the future.
D. There should be an organized program to provide
funds to be used by graduate students to achieve higher
education; thus providing initiative and accelaration for
students in school.

REDISTRICTING HEARING
SET — Houston federal court
lias set the showdown hearing
on congressional redistricting
for Friday (March 27.).
“We will be ready,” Atty.
Gen. Waggoner Carr who had
anticipated an early setting.
Outcome of the case will de-
termine whether Texas must
hold statewide elections for all
congressmen or perhaps hastily
redraw congressional boundaries
■n a special session of the Leg-
islature.
U. S. Supreme Court has up-
the Houston court’s October 19
finding that present districts
are unconstitutional drawn in
favor of rural areas. It has
permitted the state to go back
to the lower court, however, to
explain problems involved in
statewide congressional voting
after the regular process al-
ready has been set in motion.
Houston court has held —
and the Supreme Court agreed
— that districts must be based
as nearly equal in population
as is feasible. Texas districts,
if absolutely equal, would con-
tain 416,000 population each. ■
They now vary from 216,371 to
951,527.
State Democratic adminis-
tration wants to delay effect of
the ruling until the next regular
legislative session in 1965.
Five Republican leaders
brought the original suit.
Twenty-two Republican con-
gressional candidates and Bob
Looney, Democratic candidate
lor Congressman-at-Large, have
intervened on the side of im-
mediate redistricting.
CONNALLY THREATENED —
The FBI filed charges in Nash-
ville, Tenn., against two women
alleged to have made telephone
threats on the life of Gov. John
Connally the day Jack Ruby
was sentenced to death.
Connally told newsmen
t heats and “vile” letters had
increased since the Ruby ver-
dict. Most of the letters and
calls come from out of state.
Actually, he has been subject to

students of Hardin Simmons
University, Abilene.

Fishermen have made a
startling new discovery within
the past few years.
Although often the fastest
fishing is to be had up near
the surface, anglers have learn-
ed that frequently the biggest
fish are to be found deep, right
near the bottom.
One of the best baits for this
kind of fishing is the ordinary
silver spoon. Conventionally,
an angler casts out a spoon
and starts the wobbling chunk
of convex metal back the mo-
ment it touches the surface.
This makes it travel in a level
plane a few inches under the
surface.
The new twist is to allow
the spoon to plummet to the
t bottom on a limp line, then
numerous such threats since'take up the slack and sort of
the assassination of President
Kennedy in Dallas on Novem-
ber 22, when Connally was ser-
iously wounded.
BELLI BLASTED — Flamboy-
ant Melvin Belli, defense at-
torney in the Jack Ruby murder
trial, who bad-mouthed Dallas
and the trial court there, re-
ceived a return blast from At-
torney General Carr. Said Carr
of Belli’s repeated anti-Dallas
talk:
“An example of professional
ethics which should shock all
our members from coast to
coast ... It is almost a cer-
taintly to state that, had Mr.
Belli acted so irresponsibly in
the courts of his state or in the
federal courts, he would have
promptly been held in contempt
and heavily fined and/or placed
in jail.”
The president of the Ameri-
can Bar Association, in a speech
at San Francisco, Belli’s home
town, said: “That he (Belli)
should flagrantly disregard the
code of professional ethics, and
his oath as an attorney, is a
discredit to him and to his pro-
fession.”
Belli, who has resigned from
the American Bar Association,
anyway, retorted: . . . “Being
barred from the ABA would be
like being banned from the
Book of the Month Club.”
Masonic Workshop
Is Scheduled
A Masonic Workshop will be
held for officers and members
of Masonic Lodges in three
Texas Panhandle cities at the
Masonic Temple in Matador at
7:30 p.m., April 7. Officers of
Masonic Ladges at Matador,
Paducah and Roaring Springs
have been invited to partici-
pate.
R. Furman Vinson of Flomot
will conduct the workshop. He
is also chairman of the Masonic
Workshop Area covering ten
counties in this area. The work-
shop will deal with common
problems of Masonic Lodges
and their operations.
The workshop has been ap-
proved by John R. Collard Jr.
of Spearman, Grand Master of
Masons in Texas, and is part of
a semi-annual statewide pro-
gram covering the quarter-
million Masons in nearly 1,000
Masonic Lodges in the state.
Grand Master Collard urged
the attendance of officers and
members of the three lodges
invited to participate and stress-
ed that other Masons are also
welcome to attend.
TAX MAN SAM SEZ:
A popular passtime among
taxpayers is to look in the mail-
box for the refund check. Be-
tween twenty to fouty thousand
"axpayers in Texas get a re-
fund check daily. Since these
checks amount to about $100.00
each, this means some two to
four million dollars a day addi-
tional money for the Texas
family budget.
jig it along the bottom, rais-
ing and lowering it. This serves
a two-fold purpose. It puts the
spoon in a strata of water where
there is apt to be more fish;
and it simulates the crippled
action of a minnow.
It makes good sense to
change the retrieve periodically,
to give your lure more lifelike
action. A minnow swimming
naturally through the water
won’t draw as much attention
from a hungry fish as will one
that is obviously wounded,
struggling up and down. It
stands to reason, then, that a
lure with this crippled action
will entice the most strikes.
Sometimes this bottom bump-
ing a spoon pays off in the
most unlikely situations.
Take schooling white bass,
for instance. It would seem
that a lure pulled through a
school of feeding fish, right
near the surface, would bring
the most strikes. Perhaps it
will. But often bigger fish are
to be had by going deep, right
to the bottom.
What happens is the larger
whites hover below the young-
er, more eager whites which
have trapped shad near the sur-
face. The older fish wait pa-
tiently until the young whites
kill shad and they feed leisure-
ly on the dead bait fish which
sing to the bottom.
Bottom bumping also is quite
effective on whites in early
spring, when the fish are con-
gregated in the deep holes prior
to their annual migration up-
stream to spawn. And it isn’t
unusual for black bass to be
associated with the whites, to
feed on shad that the whites
have crippled and missed.
It frequently happens that
the unsuspecting angler is jib-
ging a spoon for whites when
he ties into a real trophy black
bass. That happened to my old
buddy Russell Tinsley, outdoors
editor of the Austin American-
Statesman, last spring. He was
jigging a spoon for whites along
a deep sandbar where the Ped-
ernales River enters Lake Trav-
is when he had a walloping
strike. His catch turned out to
be a six-pound black bass.
Bob Hill, another Austin fish-
erman, had an unusual experi-
ence, also on Lake Travis, when
he was cleaning up on whites
and instead tied into an 18-
pound catfish.
Hill is one of the foremost
advocates of spoon jiggling. He
recalls a time on North Caddo
Lake, near San Angelo, when
h ewas cleaning up on whites
by jiggling a spoon along bot-
tom, while all around him other
fishermen were trolling shallow-
running baits without any
strikes.
“People just don’t realize that
they catch more fish by going
to bottom,” he explained. “They
persist on trolling shallow when
casting deep would be much
more effective.”
Spoon jiggling also is very
effective on salt-water fishes,
such as sea trout in the bays
and kingfish offshore. Hill tells
about times when he has
caught trout on almost every
cast by fishing just as he
would for white bass on the
inland lakes. With trout, like
white bass, he prefers a gold-
colored spoon when the water
is clear, and a silver spoon
when the water is darker or it
is an overcast day.
While yingfishing in the
Gulf of Mexico some fast ac-
tion can be had by lowering a
spoon right to the bottom and
working it back in brisk stop-
and-go jerks. The mistake made
by most fishermen, unfamiliar
with this system, is to work
a bait too slowly, says Hill. It
requires an entirely different
technique on offshore species
than it does with fresh-water
fish.
When angling for white bass,
a slow up-and-down jiggling
motion usually will get the
most strikes,” he adds. “But
with offshore species like king-
fish, you’ve got to work the
spoon fast, the faster the bet-
ter. A king will pounce on a
fast-moving spoon when it
wouldn’t give a slow-moving
one a second look.”
