The play, “Dirty Work at the
Crossroads,” which was schedul-
ed last week was postponed un-

NEW LEGISLATORS —
Recent special election sent
three new members to the State
House of Representatives.
Dallas picked two more Repub-
licans, Jack Sampsell and Hughes
Brown, leaving Ben Atwell as the
only Democratic House member
from Big D.
Travis County voters selected a
young Democrat, Bob Armstrong.
He came out first in a big field,
by a narrow margin, over Repub-
lican Pete Hord. No runoffs are
necessary in the legislative con-
tests.
DROUGHT PUTS DAIRY-
MEN IN DANGER —
Agriculture Commissioner John
White said denial by railroads of
an urgent request for freight-rate
reductions on hay to be shipped
into drought disaster areas “had
squeezed out the last hope of our
dairymen to stay in business dur-
ing the present emergency.”
“Without a freight rate reduc-
tion to ease their costs during the
next three critical months,” says
White, “our dairymen apparently
must look for an increase in raw-
milk prices, or be forced out of
business.”
White said hay costs have in-
creased from 75 to 100 per cent
over normal and probably would
go higher due to high freight
charges on bringing in hay from
other parts of the country.
STATE DEFICIT —
State’s General Revenue Fund
was $18,500,000 in the red at the
end of October. Receipts totaled
$5,000,000 less than revenue.
State governmental expenses
totaled $128,800,000 last month.
Income from various taxes and
collections came to only $123,900,-
000. Cigarette, beer and wine tax-
es provided $9,700,000. A total of
$10,000,000 came from the sales
tax. Other big income producers
included: crude oil production tax,
$10,200,000; motor fuel taxes, $16,-
800,000; federal highway grants,
$15,000,000; and federal public
welfare grants, $14,300,000.
KEEP POLL TAX —
A lopsided majority of Texas
counties voted in favor of retain-
ing the poll tax as a qualification
for voting. In all, only 25 — main-
ly in South and Central Texas —
wanted to repeal it.
Rural areas voted strongly
