AUSTIN, Tex. — Texans are
going to have their say, if can-
didates have their way.
Most candidates seem to be
tailing into the same pattern.
They want letters from the
"folks"—telling them to run for
office.
Some want 10,000 letter*-—
sosne want 25,000. Some just
want letters.
It's a new way to solve the
postal deficit.
Sen. Price Daniel said he
received, within a week, more
than 25,000 letters.
Another better man", W. Lee
(Pappy) O'Daniel, says he's
been getting them by the bas-
ketful.
Ralph W. Yarborough reports
that he has received reams of
unsolicited letters urging him to
run.
Another gubernatorial candi-
date, J. Evetts Haley, had this
to say, "I didn't have to ask a
single soul—much less 25,000
people—if I could run."

Johnson Challenged
In a fiery verbal blast, Texas
Press Association president Rus-
sell W. Bryant of Italy told
more than 100 newspapermen
and women at a North and East
Texas Press convention in Tyler
that C. T. Johnson of Austin is
ineligible to become a candidate
for Lieutenant Governor.
Bryant distributed copies of a
deposition taken in the 126th
District Court at Austin on Oct.
1, 1955, in which Johnson testi-
fied under oath that he spent
only $125 in traveling the length

plans to begin immediately to

the expansion. Contracts prob-
ably will be' awarded next fall.
Financing of the building pro-
ject, largest in the state's his-
tory was made possible by a
constitutional amendment allo-
cating the surplus from the
Confederate pension fund for
state buildings.

Law enforcement Needs
Vigorous action on many
fronts is needed to combat Texas'
climbing crime rate, said speak-
ers at the Attorney General's
Conference on Law Enforcement
in Austin. Some conclusions,
after the four day conference:
by Attorney General John ben
Sheppard: Travis County should
have an extra qhstnet court, two
grand juries and a special ap-
propriation for the district at-
torney's office.
by Department oi Public
Safety Director Homer Garrison,
Jr.: Since soaring juvenile delin-
quency can be principally laid
to parents' failure to provide
good citizenship training, Texas
should have a law holding
financially respnsible, parents of
youngsters who wantonly destroy
property.
By Prison Board Member Dr.
George Beto: Texas Prison Sys-
tem needs $8.5 million to build
ind breadth of Texas while cam-
paigning for Lieutenant Gover-
nor in 1954.
According to Bryant, Johnson
testified he had driven 12,000 to
15,000 miles and that his total
traveling expenses for the entire
campaign period, as reported by
him to the Secretary of State,
amounted lo $125—.for gasoline
oil, tires, repairs, batteries lodg-
ng and meals.
Film's of an innaccui'ate cam-
•iign expense roport excludes
Johnson from becoming a candi-
date, under state laws Bryant
said.

Capitol Area to Grow
Texas' capitol area soon will
take on a new look. Gov. Allan
Shivers showed the Austin City
Council plans for the expansion,
and addition of two ultra
modtM'n buildings, plus nearly
three blocks if additional
grounds.
Sites, maps and architects'
sketches for the new State Office
Building and Supreme Court
Building were presented to the
council. Both will be three mil-
lion dollar structures. The Court
Building will be located one
block northwest of the Capitol,
and the oiffice Building a block
northeast. They will face the
Capitol and be joined bv a one
and one-half block mall across
Congress Avenue. Space for ad-
ditional parking areas nl o is
included in the plan.
Shivers also announced that
the granite quarry near Marble
Falls, from which granite used
in the constuction of the Capitol
was taken, has been reopened.
It is planned to use (granite from
the same source, for the new
buildings.
