Attendance at all Nation-
al Park installations in West
Texas and nearby New Mexi-
co showed a substantial in-
crease in 1968 over 1967, Con-
gressman Richard C. White
has announced. National
Park Service figures show
191, 800 visitors at Big Bend
National Park, up from 173,
300 in the previous year.
Fort Davis National Historic
Site had 123, 500 visitors,
compared with 121, 600 in
1967. Attendance at Carls-
bad Cavern National Park in-
creased from 630, 800 to
668, 400, and at White Sands
National Monument from
516, 300 to 614, 800.
"Tourism continues to rank
as a major industry in the
southwest, " Congressman
White commented. "With
the addition of two more att-
ractions, Guadalupe Moun-
tains National Park and
Chamizal National Memor-
ial, both of which I sponsor-
ed and which are approved by
Congress, we shall have a
network of attractions that
will cause visitors to spend
many extra days in our area. "
Abilene, Texas-Rev. John
F. Casey has been invited
to attend the first 1969 meet-
ing of directors of the West
Texas Chamber of Comm-
erce for District VII in El
Paso on Thursday, June 5,
at the Empire Club.
District vice-president L.
H. (Barney) Koogle of El
Paso will preside at the
luncheon meeting. The
WTCC program of work will
be detailed by vice-presi-
dent Harlan Bridwell of
Bridgeport and vice-presi-
dent John Freeman of Fort
Worth will discuss finance
and membership plans.
The local director and his
role as a representative of
the local business and pro-
fessional members of the
WTCC will be discussed by
WTCC president J. Fike God-
frey of Spur.
"The local director is a
vital link in our communi-
cations with and work for the
local chambers of commerce
and the local business comm-
unity, " Godgrey said. "The
success of our entire pro-
gram depends upon the eff-
orts of the director at the
local level and only through
these people can we truly
represent the entire West
Texas area in matters of vi-
tal concern to all of us, "
he concluded.
Executive vice-president
Jack G. Springer and mem-
bership director Ralph Dun-
can, both of Abilene, will
attend the district meeting
also and assist in the orien-
tation of the directors.

PAGE 4, HUDSPETH COUNTY HERALD-Dell Valley Review, MAY 30 1969
i- ZN - “ . •
Justice Abe Fortas, who will
go down in history as the first
member of the U.S. Supreme
Court to resign under fire,
might find instructive a few
words which are written in the
Bible: “Be sure your sin will
find you out.”
A brilliant man, he has now
discovered that brilliance is not
enough.
A man who had attained an
eminence which few even dare
to aspire to, he has been re-
vealed as lacking the quality
of integrity which is demanded
of those who hold that position.
There was another man
named Abe, long ago, who also
held a high position in Washing-
ton—but his policies were dif-
ferent. He was known as
“Honest Abe” and is still re-
membered with honor and
esteem.
What Kind of Services?
When it was revealed that
Fortas had first accepted, then
—11 months later—returned a
fee of $20,000 received from
the Wolfson Foundation, the
justice explained that he had
received the fee for some re-
search and writing that he was
to do for the foundation. When
he came to the conclusion that
he would not be able to do this
work, he said, he returned the
money.
But then it became known
that Justice Fortas had exe-
cuted a contract under which he
was to receive $20,000 a year
for life—and that, after his
death, his widow was to con-
tinue to receive the $20,000 each
year. What services could justi-
fy such payments, even to his
widow for'the balance of her
life?
Honesty Is Still
Best Policy
And who was to, make these
payments? The Wolfson Founda-
tion, which was established by
Louis Wolfson, who is now in
prison for fraudulent stock deal-
ings.
For people ever to have con-
fidence in the integrity of the
Supreme Court, it was clearly
necessary for Abe Fortas to
leave the bench.
Whether by calculated intent
or by coincidence, the votes of
Justice Fortas on cases coming
before the Supreme Court were
favorable to the producers and
distributors of obscene films
and the publishers of filthy
literature.
He voted against prayer and
Bible reading in the public
schools.
His votes helped to protect
men who had been convicted of
committing crimes, thereby ap-
parently putting the welfare of
certain criminals above the
welfare of their victims.
Most Important
Because one vote can make
the deciding difference in a 5-
to-4 decision, the man who re-
places Fortas will be in a posi-
tion to exert a decisive influence
on the court, in many cases.
If he makes wise decisions,
perhaps the confidence of the
people in the Supreme Court
can be restored—and perhaps,
as the years come and go, the
court will be able to restore
to the people some of the rights
which the present court has
unwisely taken away.
Perhaps there will again be
a time when it will be lawful
to have Bible reading and
prayer in our public schools.
