K good many people must be
wondering what has happened to
the campaign to, thoroughly un-
earth, publicize, and punish
corruption within the govern-
ment. The corruption issue domi
nailed the headlines not long

ministration spokesmen a ere

It doesn't seem possible that
the current corruption issue will
be allowed to sink into le-
garthy. Too much has been ex-
clean-up man. Some said that
he had been associated with
organizations with a red tinge—
posed, and too much more has
been rumored or revealed in
some part. It's an extremely
ticklish subject, particularly in
an election year, but every re-
porter finds that the American
people are shocked and angry,
want a real government house-
cleaning, and mean to have it.
There, seems little question that
there is a national revulsion
not only against outright graft
and dishonesty, but against in-
fluence peddling dealings which
are just within the shadowy
borderlines of legality, and tax
finagling at a time when the
tildinary run of men and women
an having to squeeze the
nickels to make both ends meet.
If this kind of public feeling
persists, it will have to be sat-
isfied, much as politicians may
want to 1' vget the whole mess
and bury it beyond sight and
memory. Industrial News. Ro-

HOMEOWNERS MAY BE
LIABLE FOR ACCIDENTS
ON PREMISES
Can a homeowner be held re-
sponsible for accidents that hap-
pen to other people while they
are on his property? Lawyers
say it i,-. difficult to state a hard
and fast rule about liability for
e.ah accidents because the facts
■offer so much from ease to
ease. However, some conelu-
,-aoiis can be drawn by notirn.

strict about accidents befalling
tradesmen and others who enter
your premises in the line of
duty, so to speak—postmen,
laundrymen, meter-readers, de
livery boys and the like—than
it is in the cases of those who
enter your home for purely so-
cial reasons.
This does not mean that a
homeowner is absolved of all
responsibility for injury to his
guests. If he knows a danger-
ous condition exists, he has a
duty to correct it and can be
held liable for accidents which
might happen if he doesn't.
For example, a rotted tree
branch fell to the sidewalk, in-
juring a passerby. The general
rule here is that the owner was
responsible because he knew of
the defective condition a n d
should have remedied it.
The law is especially zeal
in protecting small children.

W. Cox, state health officer, pre-
dicted:
Five rabid foxes have been
killed within Austin's city limits
or adjacent to them since the
| first of the year, Doctor 'Cox
.said. All were found to be
I positive by laboratory tests.
The grim warning came on the
heels of a report that the dis-
ease had been diagnosed in Fay-
ette County for the first time
in history.
The health officer said Cen-
itral Texas rabies had been al-
! most eradicated except for a
j small pocket in Milam County,
j Because no cases were reported
j for some nine months, fox thin-
i ning efforts were relaxed. That's
| when the trouble began.
In November of 1951, he re-
ported, the disease flamed in
: the southern part of Milam
(County and advanced rapidly
! t ward the heavier fox .popula-
tion of Lee, Fayette, Bastrop and
Travis counties.
The direction of spread now.
according to all indications, is
westward and south westward.
New outbreaks can be expected
in those sections.
Doctor Cox said there was
only one way to stop the dis-
ease which is 100 per cent fatal
to livestock and humans alike,
nice symptoms develop. That
way is Ki kill foxes 'by 1 rap-
ping, shoating, poisoning any
v. ay to cut their number in
half and break the chain of in
fection".
"If it isn't done, watch out|
for an epidemic," he warned.
