HOUSTON. — Police sought
the
husband of a 19-year-old woman in
what they said was a shrewd credit
bureau swindle pulled off by the
couple.
Officers said the woman took a job
at the credit bureau about three
months ago, set up an excellent cred-
it rating for herself and her husband
and then quit.
They said the couple then bought
about $1,000 worth of furniture from
a large store but defaulted when the
first payment was due. A check
showed the house to which the fur-
niture was delivered was empty.
The woman was being held by
police.
HIGHLIGHTS AND SIDELIGHTS
FROM YOUR STATE CAPITOL
By Vern Sanford, Texas Press Association
If you are one of our readers
in one of the metropolitan
areas, effective around the first
of OCTOBER, we MUST ad-
dress your paper showing the
zone number (such as Dallas
10, Texas, etc.) on the address
label. Unless your paper is now
addressed to your zone number
as well as your street and
number, please advise us at
your earliest convenience. The
Post Office Department has ad-
vised that papers WILL NOT
BE DELIVERED where zone
number is applicable and is not
included on the address.

Unless you have increased the amount of your policy recently,
you may be in for a shock! Fire insurance loss adjusters report that
many persons are woefully under-insured. Even though the amount
of insurance was adequate when the policy was written some years
ago, it may not be adequate today because of inflated values.
Result: There’s not enough to cover losses, after disaster strikes.
It’s a fact that too many home-owners today haven’t enough in-
surance protection on their personal possessions. So wouldn’t it be
to your advantage now to make up an inventory of personal prop-
erty? To review your fire insurance coverage in the light of today’s
values and new things you have acquired?
An inventory of your personal belongings will quickly indicate the
amount of insurance you should carry to be fully insured. It will
also be helpful in the event of loss because it will remind you of each
item of personal property involved.
WASHINGTON.—President Eisen-
hower Wednesday took steps to but-
tress the nation’s defenses against
any large-scale outbreak of Asiatic
flu this fall or winter.
Surgeon General Leroy Burney of
the U, S. Public Health Service al-
ready has said, “There is a very def-
inite probability” of such a large oc-
currence of the disease which, as of
Aug. 2 had struck 11,000 persons in
the United States and caused three
deaths, presumably from complica-
tions. The disease is caused by a
new strain of flu virus.
President Eisenhower asked Con-
gress for $500,000 to enable the Pub-
lic Health Service to be prepared for
any epidemics of the malady. The
surgeon general has said that if epi-
demics should occur “they could
spread from San Francisco to Boston
in a period as short as perhaps four
weeks.”
The chief executive also requested
authority to transfer about two mil-
lion dollars of public health funds for
use against any large epidemic of the
disease.

the year.
It might even break last year’s rec-
ord, despite the restrictions on credit..
So states the UT Bureau of Business
Research.
Employment To Climb
More jobs, better pay, is the out-
look for Texas workers.
Texas Employment Commission
forecasts a small rise in job-holders
during August, followed by the usual
steep jump from increased activities
in September.
Early summer brought the custo-
mary glut of workers as schools
poured out thousands of graduates
and vacation job-seekers. In addi-
tion, factory jobs dropped somewhat
as automobile assembly plants and..
aircraft companies cut back.
No Magic Expected
Rebuilding public confidence in.
Texas insurance cannot be done “by
any magic touch or wave of a wand,
not overnight nor within a few
months.”
It will take “painstaking planning,
organized effort and competent per-
formance,” said Joe P. Gibbs, mem-
ber of the newly reorganized legisla-
tive Board of Insurance Commission-
ers.
Board members are reconciled to'
operating in a “show window,” said
Gibbs, recalling the recurrent trou-
bles that resulted in a wholesale leg-
islative overhaul of the department.
“We recognize that the public has
a right to look in on us to see what
we are doing to remove the clouds of
doubt,” Gibbs stated.

Or perhaps he will choose a porce-

Before the visit is concluded the
dentist will have tutored the young-
ster in good dental hygiene at home—
such things as when and how to
brush his teeth, and how to make an
excellent dentifrice from baking soda
or table salt.
When enough children have re-
ceived such instruction, and are en-
couraged by parents to follow them,
we will be well on the way toward
avoiding the fate predicted for us:
that within a decade we will be a na-

SINCE U35
WASHINGTON. — The Interstate
Commerce Commission authorized
the nation’s railroads Tuesday to in-
crease freight rates by about 7 per-
cent in the East and West and 4 per-
cent in the South.
The increases may become effec-
tive upon 15 day’s notice by the car-
riers.
The new freight rate increase is in
addition to interim increases author-
ized in December and February,
amounting to 7 percent in the East
and 5 percent in the West and South.
The ICC staff experts estimated
the railroads now will receive $897,-
800,000 more than the income they
got from their 1956 rates.
The total increase over 1956 is 14
percent in the East compared with
the railroads’ request for 22 percent.
In the West, the overall increase is
12 percent compared with the car-
riers’ request for 22 percent. In the
South, it is 9 percent compared with
a 15 percent request.
The percentage increase is subject
to certain exemptions.
; the
safe-
guard is imperative if judges are to
be saved from becoming tyrants. It
will strengthen—not weaken, as he
suggests—our whole judiciary sys-
tem.
Michigan’s Senator Potter quotes
the President as being “damned un-
happy over this Senate vote.” It is a
strange pursuit of happiness that
seeks to scrap the fundamental pro-
tection of jury trials.
AUSTIN.—Gov. Price Daniel said
Wednesday he still intends to call a
special legislative session even though
a poll of representatives indicated a
majority think it unnecessary.
Speaker Waggoner Carr said his
poll of members showed four-fifths
replying saw no need for a special
session.
Carr said he opposed it if it re-
quired new taxes or deficit spending,
but did not object to Daniel’s stated
purposes.
Daniel immediately replied the poll
was not an accurate test of whether
representatives would cooperate on
passage of a lobbyist control bill or
completion of the state’s water con-
servation program, his two prime
aims for a session.
“I believe a majority will cooper-
ate on this matter at a special ses-
sion,” said Daniel, “and unless I am
convinced to the contrary, the session
will be called.”
He has set October as the tentative
date.
Daniel has insisted no tax bill
would be needed. Wednesday he said
Comptroller Robert Calvert advised
him $603,312 remains in appropria-
tions for legislative costs and the last
30-day session cost $328,000, which
could be trimmed with economies.
The main issue is whether the peo-
ple will have a lobby control bill,
Daniel said. Attempts to pass one
have failed for 25 years.
“I am convinced that a
(Dallas News)
Northerners and Southerners alike
can agree with Mr. Eisenhower on
one point in his angry “reaction” to
the Senate vote on the civil rights
bill:
“Rarely in our entire legislative
history have so many extraneous is-
sues been introduced into the de-
bate. . . ”
What the President does not say is
that rarely has an action of the Up-
per House of Congress spurred
able and so ordinarily reasonable
man as himself into such a
emotional tirade.
The trial by jury proviso appears
to be the red flag that has enraged
the President. But this, too, is one of
the civil rights of all Americans. It
is as basic, assuredly, as the right to
vote—and far more vital to the life
or death of the citizen.
The President is grossly mistaken
in his belief that all Americans share
his “utmost concern” over the plac-
ing of a jury trial “between a federal
judge and his legal orders.” Most
Americans do not see a judge in the
same role as a military commander.
It is precisely this right of trial by
jury of one’s peers that has distin-
guished the administration of justice
in our country from every despotism
in the world. It has been fought and
bled for ever since the barons met
King John at Runnymede.
So far from weakening the pres-
tige of the federal courts, as
President fears, this ancient ;
AUSTIN.—Labor unions in Texas
now are welded into one 300,000-
member organization.
The mammoth merger was accom-
plished at a joint AFL-CIO conven-
tion in this Capitol City.
Sharp internal disagreements
heartened those who fear the poten-
tial political power of such a massive
group.
A resolution, recommended by la-
bor’s Civil Rights committee, con-
demned the 55th Legislature for pass-
ing “immoral and undemocratic”
laws concerning school segregation.
Gulf Coast delegates balked. Finally,
the convention compromised by
adopting the national AFL-CIO civil
rights plank, worded in a more gen-
eral language.
Delegates also criticized Texas’
daily newspapers; the Texas Tech
Board of Directors; the Republican
Party; and highway contractors.
Endorsed were a state income tax
on corporations; an increase in indi-
vidual income tax exemptions; fed-
eral aid for school construction; high-
er pay for teachers; and honesty
among union officials.
AFLman Jerry Holleman was
elected president. ClOer Fred
Schmidt was chosen as secretary-
treasurer.
Lobby Curb Proposed
With legislative opposition to the
special session weakening under Gov.
Price Daniel’s determined stand, at-
tention now turns toward what the
lawmakers might enact.
Sen. Henry B. Gonzales of San An-
tonio has drafted a strict lobby con-
trol measure. It is patterned after
the federal law. It would require
registration of all persons seeking to
influence legislation, for pay. Also
it calls for a detailed accounting of
money used to influence legislation—
where it comes from, how it is spent.
It would hang a heavy sword over
the head of any lawmaker or lobby-
ist found guilty of a bribe arrange-
ment. Penalty up to $25,000 fine and
10 years imprisonment. Corpora-
tions involved would lose the right to
do business in Texas.

I went home a few minutes early
for lunch recently and had a glimpse
at one of these midday soap operas
on television.
Four characters were at work. One
elderly man was walking around with
a bewildered air muttering something
about a problem that couldn’t be
helped or a solution found to it, but
which would be sure to carry it over
until the next presentation of
opera.
After watching all this for a few
minutes I wondered, “Good grief,
what do people see in such
gram?”
Nothing but gloom, grief and de-
spair. Not an uplifting thought, not
a glint of humor, not a basis of fact,
yet millions, we are told, eat it up.
I’d rather watch a western where the •
hero fires thirteen shots from a six-
shooter without reloading and never
loses his hat even if he is knocked
over three tables. At least there is
action and not a bunch of drooping
drips lolling in despair, dread, hate
and unrequited affection.
No soap operas for me! They are
the only type of TV show that makes
me glad when they get to the com-
mercials. >
AUSTIN.—One of our most impor-
tant public health enemies in Amer-
ica today is tooth decay, a virtually
incurable chronic disease which must
be prevented if it is to be conquered
at all. The ailment is so widespread
that it involves 95 of every 100 per-
sons and is still increasing.
It is estimated that there are now
one billion cavities in the mouths of
Americans, mostly children of ele-
mentary school age. And for every
cavity a dentist fills, six are left un-
filled because of failure to visit a
dentist.
Dental authorities say the situation
is now so acute that at its present
rate of increase, within 10 years de-
cay will have turned us into a nation
of dental cripples.
Children develop cavities at about
the same ratio as do adults—aproxi-
mately one per child per year. But
whereas one-third of the adult need
for fillings is being met, only
fifth of the cavities in
teeth are being repaired.
Perhaps the reason is that so many
parents still cling to the totally false
notion that so-called “baby” teeth
are unimportant because they are
temporary. The frequent result is
that good dental health for children is
still a relatively scarce commodity.
There is one positive step all par-
ents can take to avoid a fate of tooth-
lessness among their children. It’s a
simple step, requiring only that the
youngsters be taken to a dentist for
tooth and gum inspection before be-
ing enrolled in school each fall.
The dentist will follow a careful
routine in making the inspection. He
will painlessly probe all tooth sur-
faces, looking for signs of impending
trouble. Using an ingeniously simple
little mirror, he can check even the
most difficult-to-get-to corners, re-
moving accumulations of “tartar,”
the name given to incrusted salivary
mucous and food residue.
If spots of decay are found, he will
