tics and singing may have a part
in both activities.
During this week th • director,
Mrs. lien J. Dean Jr., will visit
each ward 'school and Junior High
and talk i" assemblies of all boys
with unchanged voices. At these
meetinirs. the bovs will be inforni-
i ed of the planned work of they Boys
Choir, and those who wish to enroll
will t • invited to come on Satur-
day, September KI at 111 a.in. to the
downstairs choir room of the First
Christian Church.
There will be two main divisions
of the Choir. Boys 7 through 8
years of age will be in the pre-
paratory choir. They will meet
twice weekly and learn choir fun-
damentals. The Prep Choir will
ore pa re two or three programs dur-
ing the year.
Boys '.i and above will audition
for places in the principal choir
which will appear for the first
time as a vested choir during the
Christmas season. As members af
this group "graduate" to changed
voices, replacements will be made
from the Pren Choir,
A fee of #4.on per month will
cover the total expense to each boy.
Of this amount, each may earn
back i 1 .'Ml monthly for excellent
work. He will be awarded in the
m'lit system (to be explained fully
to the boys later) for spocial ac-
complishment. And will be assessed
fines out of his $1.00 for breaches
of choirmanshfp.
To insure every worthy boy a
chance to participate, a system of
scholarship is being worked out. A
group of business and professional
men will lie giv n sm opportunity
to assist in sponsoring scholarships
and civic organizations interested
in this worthy project have indicat-
ed a willingness to furnish a music
library as well as vestment gar-
ments for use in presenting pro-
grains to the publir. As soon as th-'
need is determined other individu-
als who believe in such a program
V' - ' ,
.v.ii bo 3>uic<icd share the cr.se ir
order that boys whose parents find
difficulty in paying the $4.00 mon-
thly fee, simply have to spoak to
the director. Scholarship hoys will
earn their $ 1.00 monthly just a:
the others who pay their way.
Every care is being taken to
make this project thoroughly inter-
denominational and democratic. In-
asmuch as a large portion of the
> pertoire will be religious music,
the Choir w ill in time be prepared
to contribute to evening services of
various churches as well as the
programs of our civic organiza-
tions.
Parents or friends of boys who
wish further information are invi-
* ted to attend the nutting on $at-
unlav, September 13, I0:t;ii a. m.
in the downstairs choir room of
( First Christian Church.
Individuals and organizations
that would like to have a part in
sponsoring this program can con-
tact the director for further infor-
mation.
Alice
(Continued from Page 1)
Texas Ranger Capt. Alfi 'd Allee
and Sheriff Halsey Wright were
conducting an investigation.
On,- report from a friend of the
elder Floyd, said Floyd received
a telephone call Monday night to
come to a drive in on th:> outskirts
of Alice. There Floyd met an ac-
quaintance who told him he was
slated to he kilW-d in his garage.
Young Floyd, a graduate of Bay-
lor University, was not involved in
South Texas politics.
After the shooting the gunman
leaped into a park >d car and sped
away. Deputy sheriffs said the gun-
man apparently used a .38 snub-
nosed pistol.
Deputies found such a weapon,
which had been fired five times,
in a garbage can at the Floyd home
whe> • the gunman apparently toss-
ed it.
The elder Floyd told Wright his
caller, who the sheriff would only
identify as a "Latin American"
told him not to leave the house
in his car, so Floyd kept his re-
ndevous by calling a taxi.
A few niinut-.'S later young Floyd,
who had overheard part of his
father's telephone conversation,
was believed to have got the car
keys and started to follow his fa-
ther. He got onlv to the garage
when he was cut down by th«? gun-
fire.
Wright quoted the elder Floyd
as saving his teleohone caller re-
ported driving "90 miles an hour
from Starr county" to deliver his
warning.

potatoes ill their pockets as a cure

Would Okay Legislative Call
Sources close to the attorney
general revealed that Dvaiel told
Shivers two weeks ago an immed-
iate call ot a special session of the
legislature was the only answer to
tht legal problem.
Daniel said he would make no
recommendation: to the conven-
tion. Howevei, he said that if the
convention should urge a speci il
legislative sessi< .1 to change pres-
ent election laws, he would hearti-
ly endorse such action.
Ultra - conservative Democrats,
centered in the Houston. Dallas.
San Antonio ind Longview delega-
tions, forecast a floor fight ovei
substituting the .lame of Eisen-
howei for that of Stevenwn on the
Democratic ticket.
Arch Rcwan, of Fort Worth, a
formei States Right's Dixiecrat
l?adei, hinted a pro-Eisenhower
deles ition."He was Waiting outside
Daniel's room when the latter ar-
rived.
Rowan predicted victory on a
showdown convc .ition vote between
opposition to Stevenson and sup-
port of Eisenhowei.
However, sources clr se to the
governor confidently predicted that
the ultra-crtnservatives would hol<f
no more than 400 votes, far from
a majority of the 1227 conventi* .1
total.
In pre-convention routing Mon-
day, member? of the executive
committee named Lestei CI irk.
Breckenridge, to the post of tem-
porary chairman.
Wallace Savage, former miyor
of Dallas and present Democratic
chairman was tagged for the post
of permanent chairman. Alvi.i H.
Lane, Wallace's law partner, is
state chairman of the Republican
executive committee, and it was
rumored Savage would become his
opposite number in the Democratic
party as well. Handing the politi-
cal plum to Savage would put the
state"s two theoretically opposing
party po't into one Dallas lawfirm.

citiV*
Garrison referred to the 2.4 mil-
lion automobiles and other vehicles
which passed the state inspection
requirements.

he said, was "both,astounding and
gratifying" and Garrison said Tev
as motorists were to be commend-

While Ready To
Back Stevenson
AUSTIN, Sept. 9 <U.IS—Agjjcjj
ture Commissioner Joh.i C.^
stood ready Tuesday to "p
where" to campaign for Dei
ic presidential nominee AdlailW v-
enson because "I am . . . nor.
young that I cannot remember the
desperate days on the farm during
the last Republican administra-
tion."
White wired Sen. A. S. Mike
Monroney (D-Okla) in Washington
that he would go anywhere to cam-
paign for Stevenson, within the
limitations imposed by his state
duties.
White indicated that he wouldn't
therefore, accept cross-filing as a
Republican nominee for agriculture
commissioner in the November
general election but would make
no announcement until aftei the
curre.it Democratic state conven-
tion at Amarillo.
The Texas Democrat said the
Republicans were "ready and will-
ing to cloud the agricultural issue
with a haze of vague and vacillat-
ing promises in a desperate at-
tempt to secure the farm vote."
