AUSTIN.—State Agriculture Com-
missioner John White warned Texas
housewives Tuesday that some bread
bakers have been selling a lot of hot
air.
White served official notice on all
state bakeries that the manufacture,
packaging and sale of a “ballooned”
one-pound loaf of bread which has
the same size and appearance as a
1 % -pound loaf is “a misleading trade
practice, illegal under provisions of
the Texas weights and measures
law.”
The commissioner said a number
of retail outlets and several bakeries
have pointed out that the deceptive
appearance of such bread is causing
confusion among consumers and in
the channels of trade.
“A pound of dough is processed
and baked in a pan usually reserved
for the 1%-pound loaf,” White said.
“The consumer, conditioned to re-
ceiving 1% pounds of bread of this
size accepts the air-filled bread as a
!!! EXTRA SPECIAL !!!
9x12 Rug, Rubber Base, only $19.99
bargain. Side by side on the grocery
shelf, there is no apparent difference-
in the two loaves. The weights of the
bread are printed in very small
type.”
White said the blown-up loaf “is.
even less a bargain due to its poorer
lasting qualities. The extra air in.
the loaf contributes to more rapid de-
terioration in the quality of the
bread. It does not hold its freshness,
as long.”
Democrats
Eight years
Franklin D.
ministration Committe and Rep.
Wright Patmn aof Texarkana heads a
special committe on small business.
There are several Texans in No. 2
spots among Democrats on the major
committes who would be next in the
line of succession.
These include Reps. W. R. (Bob)
Poage of Waco in agriculture, George
Mahon of Lubbock on appropriations
(Albert Thomas of Houston is No. 3
man here), Patman on banking and
currency and Teague on science and
astronautics.
However, there is a big differnece
between the power of the second man
and the committee chairman. And,
to an even greater degree, the power
and influence of the speaker super-
sedes that of a committe chairman.
The House speaker has a strong
influence in majority .party commit-
te make-up and in the type of legis-
lation that comes to the floor for ac-
tion.
All this indicates the kind of void
created in that intangible thing called
Texas influence around the U .S. cap-
ital .when cancer claimed the vener-
House or Senate.
Texans do head some other com-
mittees in the House. Rep. Olin
Teague of the Bryan-Corsicana dis-
trict is chairman of the veterans Af-
fairs Committee. West Texas Rep.

Most business problems require
common sense rather than legal ref-
erence. They require good judg-
ment and honesty of purpose rather
than reference to the courts.—Ed-
ward N. Hurley.
able Bonham congressman.
Rayburn served as speaker nearly
17 years, twice as long as any other
man.
Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson,
Tex^s born, is still on capital hill
now but, actually he belongs to the
executive branch.
He has spacious offices there and
can cast the deciding vote in case of
a tie in the Senate. His missions
abroad and elsewhere as President
Kennedy’s emmisary build him up as
a national figure, but they also keep
him away from the capital.
As time goes on, it seems likely
that he will wield less and less per-
sonal influence on individual mem-
bers of the Senate in comparison with
that which was his when he was
Democratic leader there and in al-
most daily association with other
memb.ers.
The saddened Texs colleagues of
Rayburn will be the first to notice
the differences in things around the
capitol.
No longer will they have the run
on the handsome speaker’s suite, just
off the House chamber.
Since Sept. 10, 1940—except for
four years when Republicans con-
Omar Burleson presides over the Ad-, trolled the House—they have strolled
freely into the speaker’s reception
room with an at-home feeling know-
ing they wouldn’t have any trouble
seeing the top man there.
It’s become a habit for them to
take prominent'constituents in to see
the beautiful crystal chandeliers in
the suite. And, they’ve taken for
granted their privilege of using the
ornate speaker’s dining room for
their weekly luncheon delegation
meetings.
Texans who have business in
Washington, and especially on Cap-
itol Hill, also will miss the powerful
Rayburn influence. They will dis-
cover this in any number of subtle
but very real ways.—Kaufman Her-
ald.

Texas influence in Congress—
which has been tremendous under
Speaker Sam Rayburn and Vice
President Lyndon Johnson and has
been outstanding for a long period—
may be on the .decline.
Mr. Rayburn’s passing certainly
left a vacancy that may never be
filled by a Texan.
Texas influence began three dec-
ades ago when John Nance Garner,
the sage of Uvalde—now 93—was
destined to become vice president
and was elected speaker.
Other Texans then held down ma-
jor committee chairmanships in both
the House and Senate. Rayburn,
himself, was House majority leader.
In the Senate, the late Morris
Sheppard was the “Dean of Con-
gress,” having served since 1902.
And former Sen. Tom Connally was
a power to be reckoned with.
Garner, who celebrated his 93rd
birthday on November 22, served as
House speaker in the 72nd Congress,
from 1930-32. He had been minor-
ity floor leader for the
two years before that,
as vice president to
Roosevelt followed.
However, as things stand now not
a single one of the 24 member Texas
congressional delegation, including
the two senators, holds the chairman-
ship of major committe in either the
