of you."
Jackson said in a statement:
“I welcome Sen. Green’s tele-
gram. Sen. Morton has been try-
ing to create an impression that
widespread vote - stealing has
been going on on a national scale.
Yet he has not so far submitted
any evidence to back up these
charges to the Senate Elections
committee which is the proper
body to investigate such charges.
"The recounts which have been
undertaken do not bear out Sen.
Morton's charges In New Jersey,
for example, the Republicans have
conceded and abandoned their re-
count.
"Sen. Morton is doing a dis-
service not only to his party, but
to the nation, with loose talk
which seeks to give an impression
of widespread wrongdoing.”
Day in the Sun

with former Levelland High
School football coach Trnctt
Rattan since he left Levellaad,
you may know that he’s been
having "flirtations."
A friend of ours pointed this
out to us Friday, and quoted
aa excerpt from a Fort Worth
Star • Telegram itory to prove
it. The excerpt:
"Since Truett Rattan moved
from the South Plains to Gil-
mer in 1954 the Buckeyes have
barged into the post - season
eliminations three times, in-
cluding this most recent flir-
tation.”
The flirtation referred to was
a quarterfinals clash with 01-
ney, won by Olney 41 to 6.
The score’s what qualified it
as a flirtation, apparently.

Some area employes of General
Telephone Company of the South-
west got some recognition in their
own newspaper, SOUTHWEST
GENERAL NEWS, Friday. And
they all made it in newsphotos,
too.
M. G. (Bud) Waller, an employee
of Genral here a couple of years
ago, showed up in a picture with
General Telephone and Electronic
Corp. President Don G. Mitchell,
Waller was recently transferred
to San Angelo headquarters of Gen-
eral of the Southwest.
Other pictures featured Paul Far-
rar of Brownfield, manager of the
district which includes Levelland,
and Ruth Hale of Levelland, local
service assistant, both of whom
were recognised for 15 years with
the company.
FIRE LOSS
(Continued From Page I)
preceding year. Levelland'4 fire
loss ratio in the past three years
has cost the city’s property own-
ers a five per cent decrease in
premiums. This year’s fires return-
ed to the 52-58 per cent loss ratio
bracket.
City Fire Marshall Ray Jones
Saturday morning, noted that low-
ering of insurance premium rates
through lower fire loss ratio is sim-
ply "a matter of fire conscious-
ness.”
Jones pointed out that Littlefield
which is comparable to Levelland
in population, has mained a 25 per
cent credit rating duuring the past
four years on the basis of a good
fire loss ratio. Average yearly fire
loss in Littlefield during the past
five years was $19,098.80, compar-
ed to Levalland’s 180,299 figure.
“Cities which are able to main-
tain a full time fire department
force post better fire loss records,
Jones said, “largely because they
have time to develop and employ
fire prevention programs."
Jones cited Lubbock as an ex-
ample of a full time force which
has produced outstanding results
through a round-the-clock fire pre-
vention effort. Lubbock, with a pop-
ulation roughly 12 times that of
Levelland, averaged $488,883 in fire
losses during the period from 1955-
1959.

year will be much better than De-
cember of last year, making 1960
a better business year. I haven’t
noticed any special trends in buy-
ing ”
Andy Anderson, Dunlap’s — The
late harvest has affected business
in general, but the effect on Christ-
mas is yet to be determined. We’re
hoping it (December this year)
will be better."
J. G. Stacy, Stacy - Mason —
"Our fall buying is usually later
than other stores’, and the late har-
vest porbably won’t affect our
sales. There is a trend toward bet-
ter quality merchandise. It seems
they want their money’s worth,
and this might indicate the scar-
city of money.”
Wilson Copeland, Copeland Hard-
ware — "I think the late harvest
will postpone Christmas business a
bit, but this year should be as good
as last year. Layaways are much
heavier, and more charging is be-
ing done. I think that this has
some relation to the late harvest.”
Bob Wallace, Cobb’s — “Actually
it's too early to figure the effect
of the late harvest on the Christ-
mas business. The late harvest
has had an effect on our overall
business. If December should prove
to be as good as December of 1959,
1960 will still not quite measure up
to par. Our layaways are up from
last year.”
M. R Haws. White Auto — "Bus-
iness at this time of year has run
pretty close to last year, but it
was slow about two' months ago.
We won’t have as good a year this
year because things were so slow
earlier. I think Christmas will be
just as good this year as it was
last year.”
Mrs. Boyd Hogue, Hogue’s Gift
Shop — “The Christmas season is
starting a bit later, but the late
harvest definitely had an effect on
business in general through Nov-
ember. If I have as good a Decem-
ber as I had last year, 1960 will be
as good if not better than 1959."
Wilson Cox, Lea k Cox Appliance
— “I think the late harvest has
delayed our normal November bus-
iness, but our Christmas business
is picking up and should be equal
to last year. This year should be
about equal to last year.”
Billy Price, Western Auto —"I
have as many layaways right now
as I did in th^ whole month of
December last year. I can’t act-
ually tell because it’s only our sec-
ond year, but if December is as
good as 1959, business will have
been much bettas>in 1960 I caa’t
tell that the late harvest has had
any effect on my business.
Howard Maddera, Wacker’s —
It’s too early for any predictions
concerning Christmas business
since the season hasn’t actually be-
gun. The late harvest has definite-
ly affected business. Christmas
falls on Sunday and Involves a
whole new aspect to our Christ-
mas sales. It gives us a whole
week for final Christmas sales and
makes for the longest time possible
between Thanksgiving and Christ-
mas If December is equal to De-
cember of 1959. I960 will he a bet-
ter year businesswise.”
Mrs. Ella Mae Curry, Sears —
The harvest has had some effect
on business, but our Christmas bus-
iness has started earlier than ever
this year. Clothing and toys are
moving very well. . . 1960 will de-
finitely be a better year than 1959 ”

Daniel said.
Daniel keynoted the first meet-
ing of the new middle-road state
executive committee which is ex-
pected to go all the way with the
governor’s leadership and propos-
als.
Daniel’s legislative chart sub-
mitted to the committee tracks
the convention platform—which he
also wrote.
It outlines a tremendous task for
the 57th regular session beginning
Jan. 10.
These are the goals outlined by
the governor Saturday:
"1. Further improvements in
the public schools of Texas, in-
cluding increased teacher sala-
ries.
"2. Better law enforcement, in-
cluding enactment of the 24 rec-
ommendations of the Law En-
forcement Commission which
failed to pass the last legislature;
more personnel and better sala-
ries for the State Highway Patrol;
and stiffer penalties for narcotics
peddlers.
“3. Additional highway safety
measures.
“4. Regulation of small loan
companies.
"5. Improvements of the water
planning and development pro-
gram. and better financing of the
Board of Water Engineers.
"6. Full-time salaries and ade-
quate financing of the State Board
of Insurance.
“7. Juvenile parole supervisors
to help rehabilitate young offend-
ers and curb juvenile crime.
"8. Adequate financing of the
State Industrial Commission and
tourist program to attract new in-
dustries and tourists to Texas.
“9. Medical aid payments for
receipients of old age pensions as
voted by the people in amending
the state Constitution.
“10. A complete study looking
toward the reorganization of state
government and its fiscal system.
"11. Enactment of equitable tax
laws in proportion to ability to
pay, opposing a general retail
sales tax and state income tax;
establishment and maintenance of
a balanced budget through ade-
quate revenue measures, including
adoption of an abandoned proper-
ty-missing heirs law.”

hammered at what he called an
urgent need to promote govern-
ment help for areas of uneinploy
ment in an effort to stimulate
business.
Hodges emphasized the role of
the individual businessman in his
over all plan for the Commerce
Department.
he said, "is in the imagination
and energy and daring on the
part of the individual businessman,
and if we can show him that
there is a department, a great
department, a manifold depart
1 ment willing and anxious to be
of service to him and encourage
1 him along the lines to be en-
j couraged. 1 think they will carry
it on themselves.”
But Hodges cautioned that the
I government must not “throw any
I blocks in their way."
Kennedy outlined for newsmen
some of the problems the Com-
merce Department will face in the
coming years.
"One of its most vital—if nq’
he stated, will be in the inter
national field, maintaining our
position in international trade de-
veloping and encouraging new
markets, providing some degree
of assurance and protection for
those who trade with us.
