GALVESTON: The Market for our leading
staple (cotton) continues to be dull without
any actual decline in prices, but with an
unusual disparity between the figures asked
by factors and the prices which the latter
are willing to concede. Advices have not
been encouraging, the New York and the
Liverpool markets both showing weakness
at the close for spot as well as futures and
arrivals.

China, the U. S. lost the first
war in its 200-year history.
India* PHme Minister Indi-
ra Gandhi joined the host of
world leaders who regard
democracy as less important
than their personal power. She
loosed a broad crackdown
against political opponents in
he world's second largest
nation, ending parliamentary
government in that troubled,
impoverished country.
The United Nations continu-
ed its plunge downward to-
ward a “do-nothing” organi-
zation, led by Communist-su-
pported third world countries.
The UN also invited Uganda's
bloodthirsty dictator IdiAmin
to address members and voted
to brand Zionism “a form of
racism.”
New York City, on the verge
of total bankruptcy, had to be
partially bailed out by the U.S.
government.
Two women attempted to
assassinate the President,
showing the type of "sick”
people also in this society.
The FBI announced that
crime had once again increas-
ed dramatically during the
year before.
Unemployment continued to
stay high in 1975 although
inflation subsided during the
year
The "sins” of other U.S.
Presidents, besides President
Nixon and his Watergate
affair, were brought to light.
Even the late President John
Kennedy, who was held in
high esteem by many Ameri-
cans, was found to have had
countless sexual affairs while
in public affairs.
, Such a year with so many
shocking events always makes
many people apprehensive
about the New Year.
Will there be more shocking
revelations about our nation's
highest leaders? Will wars
once again break out which
will call for U.S. involvement?
Will inflation soar again? Will
the recession turn into better
economic times or return to
unsettled conditions?
• -These are some of the
.ayestions, which most Ameri-
cans are asking; and of course
no one knows the answer.
Whacedoes a penenyfind
security in a world such as
this?
The U.S., which was for
many decades the richest and
most powerful nation on the
face of the earth, is now no
longer willing to police the
world to bring peace to
skirmishes and wars in other
smhaller nations. And the U.S.
The past has been a trying one for our country Time may
eventually record it as a pivotal one as well one of those
historical turning points that initiates a new and different era
While such thorns in our national hide as economic stagnation,
increased unemployment, inflation and business failures create
havoc and hardship, we can have reasonable expectations of
eventually surmounting them
But hovering above this storm and contributing to it as well was
vet another cloud, the energy crisis More than any other factor,
thiselement signalled the advent of a change in our future Many
things Americans had come to take for granted mav never be
taken for granted again Energy in the form of fuel to power our
industries, heat our homes and run our automobiles is certainly
one of these
Senate Inquiry
A new task force is inves-
tigating tangled state Se-

The inquiry is part of the
independent investigation
set in motion by Atty Gen.
John Hill after indictment
of Senate Secretary Charles
Schnabel on charges of
theft and misconduct
Senators voted last week
to keep Schnabel, who has
been their chief adminis-

Lease Sales Set
The School Land Board
has scheduled oil, gas and
sulphur lease sales Feb-
ruary 3. June 1 and October
5 to encourage domestic ex-
ploration and development
Total bonuses received
from three oil and gas lease
sales last year came to
more than $118 million.
Primary areas of interest
in the 1976 sales are the
lower Laguna Madre and
the central coastal region
near Matagorda Island
The latter has been re-
stricted to development be-
cause of activities on the
now-abandoned U S Air
Force Base and bombing
range

AUSTIN - The Texas
Senate resumed its long-
delayed trial of the O P
Carrillo impeachment case
after taking steps to shor-
ten the proceedings
In spite of warnings by
their counsel, Leon
Jaworski, senators voted to
accept the entire transcript
of a Judicial Qualifications
Commission removal hear
ing on Carrillo for use in
the trial
Attorneys estimated use
of the JQC testimony and
exhibits may shorten the
Senate proceeding from the
expected six weeks or more
to three
Meanwhile, the Judicial
Qualifications Commission
continued to move forward
on its own course toward
ousting the 229th district
judge from office
Carrillo’s attorney, Ar-
thur Mitchell of Austin,
made clear he will try to
show the impeachment ef-
fort was launched as the re-
sult of a political break be-
tween the Carrillo and
George Parr factions in
stormy Duval County last
year
Carrillo has been sus-
pended from his court since
last August when the
House of Representatives
voted articles of impeach-
ment, but he continues to .
draw full pay
Bentsen Starts
U. S. Sen Lloyd Bentsen
began his re-election cam-
paign with a two-day barn-
storming tour which
ranged from Houston to the
Panhandle and from
Dallas/Fort Worth to San
Antonio
Bentsen also campaigned
in Austin, Lubbock,
Amarillo, Abilene and

has alo slipped from fitst to
third place in per capita
income, with Switzerland and
Sweden moving ahead.
People are looking for secur-
ity in riche*. in buying gold, in
owning land or other tangible
possessions. Protecting money
from inflation has become a
big problem.
Where can a person find
security in this insecure
world? Where can you find
peace of mind and someone to
trust?
God’s Word has always had
the answer to that question.
And it’s the same answer that
would have been given 50 or
100 years ago. "Put your trust
in the Eternal God,” is the
command of the Bible.
God is the only One whp
keeps all of his promises -
something which no politician
has ever done. God also
promises “never to forsake”
any individual who puts his
trust in Him — something
which cannot be said of most
friends or even loved ones.
God even offers peace of
mind, physical and spiritual
blessings, and true happiness
to those who have faith and
trust in the Lord.
A lady once said that she
wished she could have lived in
"Bible days” rather than in
this day and age. She conside-
red the days when God’s Word
was written as better times
and greater times because
prophesy was being fulfilled
and written.
But did you ever realize that
you and I are also living in
"Bible days" today? Every
year now Bible prophesies are
being fulfilled from the very
pages of the book which most
people consider out of date.
Even more will be fulfilled in
the years ahead.
Even though we are living in
hectic arid insecure times,
Christians can have stability
and security in the promises of
God
Listen to these promises of
God, found in Psalms 46:1-6:
"God is our refuge and
strength, a tested help in
times of trouble.And so we
need not fear even if the world
blows up, and the mountains
crumble into the sea. Let the
oceans roar and foam; let the
mountains tremble.
There is a river of joy
flowing through the City of our
God - the sacred home of the
God above all gods. God
himself is living in that City;
therefore it stands unmoved
despite the turmoil
everywhere. He will not delay
his help. The nation* rant and
rave in anger-but when God
speaks, the earth melts in
submission and kingdoms
totter into ruins.”
--Buddy Preuss
tax revenues The decision
again upheld constitution-
ality of the state’s method
of collecting franchise taxes
from multi-national corpo-
rations.
In another case, the high
court affirmed a $134,156
judgement against Texaco,
favoring a Sweetwater man
hurt when oilfield equip-
ment fell on him in a
warehouse.

als reversed a Hillsboroa
murder case because a di
vorce petition filed by the

the jury by a prosecutor
