THE PADUCAH POST, PADUCAH, TEXAS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1953
I will be back in Washington
when you receive this letter.
This is my first trip back since
Congress adjourned. The work
in the office in Washington
continues at a rapid pace,
whether Congress is in session
or not. As soon as I can get
caught up with the work there,
I will be back in the District.
There are a number of places in
the District that I have not been
able to visit because the time
has been so short, but I expect
to get to these places as soon
as I return. This District is one
of the largest in area in the
United States. Traveling time
from one town to another con-
sumes a great amount of the
time available for getting

around. I
I was in Nazareth last Thurs-,
day night and everyone had
a wonderful time. Those folks
have a fine meeting hall, and
there was quite a crowd at-
tending the gathering. There was
a fine program of local talent j
before we ,got down to the busi-
ness of 'discussing the local,
state, national and internation- j
al problems. The ride down j
there was certainly wonderful
through a large part of the ir-
rigated section. The complete >
•contrast between this irrigated j
section and the dry land sec-
tion is inconceivable, the drouth |
has completely burned up most)
of the dry land section, and the
farmers there are up against
some pretty tough obstacles.
You can see the effects of the
drouth even in the irrigated
sections. Of course, the presence
of water proves what could be
done in the Panhandle country
if we had more of it.
On Friday I went on a field
trip with the fine group from
Dumas. It is unbelievable when
you drive into the countryside
between Dumas and Sunray
and view the tremendous crops
that are being produced. These
folks are highly progressive, and
it is certainly reflected by the
type of machinery they are us-
ing and the manner in which
they are farming the land. As
long as this kind of progress
is shown, we need never worry
aout America going hungry.
The cattle people are tremen-
dously upset about the failure of
the Secretary of Agriculture to
take some affirmative action
to relieve the tragic situation
that is present in the industry
at this time. Many of them have
stopped me on the street since
Thursday, and have called me
on the phone. They all feel that
they have not been treated ex-
actly fair. They feel that they
were led to believe that at least
some temporary action would
be taken that would enable
them to hold on through the
winter and be able to start
growing out. However, many of
them tell me that they now
find themselves at the end of
the rope and in worse condition
than they were two or three
months ago, when there was
some promise of affirmative ac-
tion being taken.
Frankly, I agree whole-heart-
edly with their attitude that
they should not be held in sus-
pended animation. If the Secre-
tary of Agriculture intends to
do anything, he should .do it
and not talk about what he is
going to do in the future. Cattle
cannot live on promises. If he
does not intend to do anything,
the cattle people are entitled
to know it and know it now.
Fence straddling on the propo-
sition should be stopped and
stopped immediately, because
the problem is entirely too se-
rious to be pushed around.

The name of Mrs. O. C. Brown
of Wichita Falls, daughter, was
omitted from the list of sur-
vivors in the immediate family
of J. H. Rountree in his obituary
in last week’s issue of the Post.
One of the most widely discussed automobiles—
the Chevrolet Corvette—has been placed in dis-
tribution. A two-passenger open model (with re-
movable top), the car is the American auto
industry’s first sports car and the first to carry
a plastic body built by mass production methods.
The Corvette measures only 33 inches high at the
door. Wheelbase is 102 inches. Traditional Chev-
rolet features include a special 150-horsepower
“Blue-Flame” engine and a Powerglide automatic
transmission. Production followed special show-
ings of an experimental model in many cities.

Politicians are working up a
head of steam that will* blow
off when President Eisenhower
visits Texas this month.
As far as any public an- „
nouncement is concerned, the roads that are suffering from
and some of those in state hos-
pitals and other institutions re-
ceived $15 per month pay in-
creases on the first of this
month.
Increases ranging up to $300
per year also went to faculty
members of state colleges and
universities.
Also some state workers
received “incentive” raises
amounting to as much as $50
per month under a new law
authorizing such boosts out of
savings effected by decreasing
the number of employees.
During the next few months,
the highway department will
spend $11 million to maintain
and improve roads.
State Highway Engineer D.
C. Greer calls the program “a
stop gap to protect the in-
vestment of the public in the
state highway system.”
Most of the money will go
for widening, reconditioning,
and resurfacing 633 miles of

reason for Ike’s Texas trip is
to join President Adolfo Ruiz
Cortines of Mexico in the dedi-
cation of Falcon Dam on the
Rio Granue.
But it is clear that H. J. Por-
ter of Houston, Republican na-
tional committeeman, will use
the presidential trip as a mvms
of rallying G. O. P. support in
Texas.
When Eisenhower gets to
Texas, his official host will be
Governor Allan Shivers. The
president will stay at the Shiv-
ers’ palatial home at Sharyland,
near Mission.
While Shivers led the Demo-
cratic Party of Texas in helping
to elect Eisenhower last year,

Both Texas senators, Lyn-

study the state government and
seek ways to bring about great-
er economy and efficiency in its
operation.

On the contrary, Shivers has
said that the G. O. P. has “de-
lusions of grandeur” on the
question of making Texas a
two-party state.
In other words, the Shivers
Democrats were for Eisenhower
—but that does not mean that
they will move over into the Re-
pulican ranks in the Texas po-
litical battles of next ye<\r.
At the Falcon Dam celebra-
tion there will be represented
a third political faction, the
Texas Democrats who supported
Adlai Stevenson.
Senator Lyndon Johnson, a
Stevenson Democrat, is expected
to be present at the border cele-
bration.
Porter, by the way, has an-
nounced that the Texas Demo-
crats will put up the strongest
candidate they can find to op-
pose Johnson next year.
That candidate may be Ben
Guill, who once served as a
Texas Republican congressman
from the Panhandle district.
Guill is now an executive
assistant to Postmaster General
Summerfield.
