AND
Austin. Texas—Texas news-
men qulmed seven candidates
for governor at a session of
Sigma Delta Chi, professional
Journalism society, and fanned
early-season campaign sparks.
Gov. Price Daniel took the
center position, weathering at-
tacks from nearly all the other
candidates, both democratic
and republican. All candidates
took part except John Connally
and Edwin Walker.
A little fire even developed
between the three republican
candidates. Harry Diehl of
Houston said Jack Cox of Brec-
kenrldge was "not a Republican
—Just a conservative candi-
date '
But two days later, Diehl
withdrew from the race, leaving
Roy Whittenburg as the only
republican primary opponent
for Cox.
Don Yarborough and Mar-
shall Formby attacked the Dan-
iel administration as "tired”
and "lacking vigor.111 Daniel
came back with a recital of his
five-year accomplishments In
education, Industrialization and
other fields.
Will Wilson’s approach was
that Daniel’s entry collapsed
the Connally bandwagon by
splitting Vice Pres. Lyndon
Johnson’s organization, and
that the only way to get an un-
controlled candidate was to
elect Wilson.
Candidates got-in more pun-
ches in answering tough ques-
tions posed by nine newsmen.
All df Daniel’s opponents made
the Governor’s unprecedented
four-term try a central issue.
In the course of questions, Dan-
iel came out for a two-term
limit, but with four-year terms
for governor instead of the
present two.
FRIENDLESS INSECT
A big-hatted crowd of ranch-
ers gathered at an Austin hotel
to get more facts on the stock-
man's dream—the elimination
of the screwworm.
There was no one there to
defend the Insect.
Ranchers learned from Flori-
dans how that state was swept
free of this costly scourge by a
dramatic program. Florida ran-
chers covered the state with
sterile male screwworm fll®
thus wasting the female flies’
single mating period. First air-
plane distribution of file* In
South Texas started the day of
the Austin meeting.
Texas stockmen are raising
$3,000,000 by voluntary contri-
butions to match an equal a-
mount of Federal money put up
by the U. 8. Department of Ag-
riculture. The screwworms cost
SoustWester ranchers an esti-
mated $40,000,000 a year In
losses.
LIVESTOCK RAISERS
GET HELPERS
A committee of five legisla-
tors held its first meeting after
hearing plans of the Southwest
Animal Health Research Foun-
dation.
Speaker James A. Turman
appointed Representatives Ray
Bartram of New Braunfels,
Steve Burgess of Nacogdoches,
Stanley Boysen of Yoakum,
Olenn Kothmann of 8an An-
tonio and Qus Mutscher of
Brenham to assist the SWAHRF
In planning Its attack on the
screwworm fly.
Horse Of Another Color
Stamford oilman Keith
Wheatley seemed to get off the
track In his campaign for Rail-
road Commissioner when he
told Austin pressmen that Tex-
ans should be able to cast a
vote on the return of horse
racing to the state.
Wheatley said he Is neither
for nor against racing, but be-
lieves “tax profits from horse
racing could do much to aid
the old people and the children
of Texas.”
Gubernatorial candidates are
Interested In regulating another
kind of race. They think limita-
tions should be set on the num-
ber of times a governor can
run for re-election.
Marshall Formby based his
objections to the present lkck of
limits on ths fact that most
state projects are operated by
commissions whose members
are appointed by the governor
on a rotating basis. Formby
figures that by the end of a
second term, a two-time gov-
ernor has made every state
eommlssloh appointment and
It’s time for him to take a rut.
John Connally seconded the
charge of commission domina-
tion, and said that by the end
of a third term, every one of
the more than 800 commission-
ers hats been appointed by a
three-time governor. He prom-
ised that he would ask the
Legislature to limit a governr's
tenure to two terms If he's
elected.
Migrant Stady Set Vp
State Board of Education ap-
pointed R. P. Ward of Edinburg
to head a study on the educa
tlon of children of migrant par-
ents, after Commissioner J. W.
Edgar called this “one of the
critical problems facing the
Texas public school system.”
Ward, former president of
Pan American College, will de
velop a guide for teaching these
children, who form a large per-
centage of the enrollment In
Rlo Grande Valley schools.

‘'Everything To Build
Teachers1 Time
State Board of Examiners for
Teacher Education and the
Texas Education Agency sent
out about 80,000 questionnaires,
asking how Texas educators
spend their time on curricular,
co-curricular and extracurricu-
lar activities.
So far, more than 20,000 an-
swers are In. Agency researchers
are anxious for the other re-
plies. They yant to feed them
to computing machines. Pur-
pose Is to get an analysis to
help the Texap Legislative
Council prepare a full report on
teacher certification and the
status of education In Texas.
Other facets of a report to be
presented to the 58th Legisla-
ture In January will Include the
public view of education; a hts-
tojry of teacher ^education and
certification In Texas; personal
characteristics and social and
economic data of teachers; a
look at the current class of ed-
ucation majors and an analysis
of their college course work.
When the “portrait of a Texas
teacher” is completed, educa-
tors think it will represent
the most comprehensive study
of public education ever under-
taken In this state.

vealed that the West Texas

GOP Primaries Under Fire
State democratic committee-
man Walter sterling opened
another argument In the Inter-
party battle when he accused
republicans of dodging their re-
sponsibility by not holding a
primary In every precinct In the
state.
Sterling and the State Demo-
cratic Executive Committee
question the legality of a re-
publican primary nominee who
has not been voted on by every
republican. Executive Director
Clyde Johnson said, “The re-
publicans should not be able to
avoid legal and financial re-
sponsibility In these primary
elections."
Republicans counter-charged
that democrats failed to hold
primaries .In 24 counties during
the 196C^’speglal election. But
Johnson promised the party will
"follow the law as usual” and
hold primaries In all 254 coun-
ties this May.
