AUSTIN, Tex A long battle
lor interposition action begins
in Texas next week.
At its Tuesday meeting in
Houston, the State Democratic
Executive Committee will an-
awer Gov. Allan Shivers' pro-
posal to place the interposition
question on the primary ballot.
Reports also are to be made
by the party's legal subcommit-
tee and the Texas Committee
on School Segregation. Both
have been studying the suggested
interposition referendum.
Governor Shivers is expected
to ask voters to join his crusade
aigainst federal encroachment by
giving the legislature a mandate
for interposition. He will address
the committee at a night meeting
to which all Democrats from the
Houston area are invited.
Later, Shivers will visit vari-
ous parts of the nation. He will
talk to leaders, without regard
to party, and make speeches
to gain nation-wide support for
the interposition movement.
Also on the executive commit-

tee's agenda will be the laying
of groundwork for the upcoming
convention battles. Liberal-toy-
alists have indicated clearly that
they intend to fight the con-
servative party leadership at
precinct, county and state meet-
ings.

Favorite Son Approved
Speaker Sam Rayburn's pro-
posal that Texas Democratic con-
vention delegates be chosen who
will support Senate Leader Lyn-
don Johnson as the favorite
son candidate for presidential
nomination, won general ap-
proval.
Rayburn's suggestion that
Johnson be made chairman of
the delegation was endorsed by
liberals, but brought no reply
from the conservatives.

Texas GOP Plans Strategy
Texas Republicans will bypass
the holding of primaries this
year. They will concentrate on
the general election.
At their Austin meeting the
State Executive Committee has
agreed (1) to nominate by con-
vention: (2) to hold precinct
conventions May . 5, county con-
ventions May 8 and the state
convention May 22 in Houston;
and (3) to focus efforts on the
reelection in November of Presi-
dent Eisenhower and Dallas Con-
gressman Bruce Alger. Texas'
only Republican congressman.
Texas' delegation to the na-
tional GOP convention is ex-
nected to be solidly pro-
Eisenhower. but the touchy
question of n vice presidential
nominee has been carefully
avoided.

Vaccine Stretching Debated
Public health officials are in
flisaj^roement over a proposal
to delav third .-olio shot.s in or-
der to extend the dwindling
cif-nly to more people.
\ t"'o-sbot nlan wis endorsed
bv the Public Health Service
In W^shinirton, Such a nlan
would stretch tlv still-short
viinptv of I'necine to cover 25
tn :>n million perrons, offi-
cials '-aid.
Dr. Henry A. ITMle, Texas
health commissioner, turned
thumbs down. He said the
diff*>renen between two shots
nnd thr<v> "could he tile differ-
ence between having nnralytic
oolio and not having it".
Texas' supply is almost ex-
hausted. However, a rush order
of 150,000 cubic centimeters of
the vaccine is expected to arrive
before the end of the month.
One cubic centimeter is stiffi-
i cient for one inoculation,
i Meanwhile 11 new cases of
i Dolio are reported in Texas,
i bringing the year's total to date
to 121.
