The New Community Trend
Rural sociologists at Texas A&M now contend that
the smaller, rural communities are destined to hit the
comeback trail with more growth than many have
experienced in years.
In some respects, this is a direct reversal of the
trend since war's end when more and more residents
of the smaller towns have found work in the growing
industrial complex of the United States and have left
the farms.
The sociologists attribute this new trend to the desire
among many Americans to get away from the center
of the city and yet be close enough to take advantage
of what a city offers, whether it’s a large or a smaller
city..

WASHINGION (AP)-When Sen-
nate Democratic Leader Lyndon
Johnson of Tuas wants to know
what people are really saying
about him and his views, there to
at least one aide to whom he can
turn for candid comment.
That's his brother. Sam Houston
Johnson, 45, five years the sena-
tor's junior and one of his chief
aides.
Both Sam Houston Johnson ani
his wife, Mary, are on the Senate
payroll.
bam Houston Johnson to no john-
ny • come - lately to Capitol Hill,
and the senator counts upon him
heavily. In the senator's view, his
brother not only to an intensely
loyal aide but to eminently qual-
ified for the job.
Sam Houston Johnson was sec-
retary to the late Rep. Richard
Klegerg of Corpus Christi at the
time'Lyndon Johnson was flrat
elected to the House April 1*. 1937.
GRADUATED AT I*
But fo rthe youthful age at
which he was graduated from col-
lege. Sam Houston Johnson prob-
edly would be practicing law to-
day. Ho got his law degree from
Cumberland University, Lebanon,
Tenn., in 1934 when ho was only
30, and under regulations prevail-
ing at that time was prohibited
from taking the Texas bar exam-
ination.
"I went to work to the legal di-
vision of the Federal Land Bank in
Houston," he recalls. "By the
time I had reached 21 and was
eligible for the examination I had
a chance to come to Washington to
work as a congressional secretary.
And, I might add. at a salary bet-
ter than many a lawyer was mak-
ing in those mid depression
years."
He went to work for his brother
in 1962 and his present salary to
$1,050 a month. He is on the pay-
roll which the senator controls as
Democratic leader of the Senate.
Dulles’ solemn, almost evange-
listic approach and his stubborn
defense of moral principles have
left little room for compromise on
any fundamental issue of what be
considered right or wrong.
CYNICAL
Perhaps U.S. policy might have
done better if its architect had
been more deliberately cynical in
dealing with a cynical enemy.
Dulles seems to have denied him-
self that weapon out of conviction
that a civilized Western nation's
diplomacy should rely on the
moral force of Christian prin-
ciples. Possibly this was a little
naive in today's world. But in the
matter of assessing his antagon-
ists, Dulles has displayed little
naivete.
"We are devoting billions in
money and our highest talents to
preparation for a fighting war, a
war that may never come," Dul-
les wrote long before he became
secretary. "The strength of our
society to being underminded by
the cold war that is here and
which could finally defeat us."
Dulles has never lost sight of
that possibility. Apparently he
still believes the Kremlin to in-
tent upon world domination
through Communist expansion.
The cornerstone of his policy has
been a determination to convince
the Kremlin it can never succeed.
The post of secretary of state
always has been an easy and pop-
ular target for criticism, and Dul-
les has aroused many storms. Ed-
ucated opinion both at home and
abroad attributes U.S. policy not
to President Eisenhower — as it

directly to Dulles. He bore the
full brunt of criticism when he
solemnly issued such verbal thun-
derbolts aa "agonising reapprais-
al" and "massive retaliation."
ONLY TIME
Only time will tell whether be
will be vindicated. But time will
not wait for him. Important cold
war contests are ahead. Will the
United States be represented by a
man equal in rank to the other
foreign ministers?
Dulles and President Eisenhow-
er face another agonising reap-
praisal. Dulles influence surety
will be felt at Geneva, but per-
haps he and the President will
decide the time has come to give
the reins of U.S. policy into oth-
er hands.

THE TEXAS HOUSE of Representatives is already
4 showing sima of backing away from early consideration
of the omnibus tax bill approved Monday by the reve-
nue and tax committee
Such a delay seems to show weakness in the light
of the May 12 ending of this session. With less than a
month remaining in the session, the House must not
only consider the bill but the Senate must hold a hear-
ing aa well aa floor debate.
In one respect it is easy to understand th* House’s
apparent unwillingness to dig into the proposed 151
million dollar tax bill that covers everything from res-
taurant meals to reducing salons.
The biggest part of the bill calls for a 10 per cent
“luxury" tax on musical instrument!, sporting goods,
pleasure boats, costume jewelry, precious stones and
like items And then there’s a two cent hike on the
cigarette tax and a one per cent tax on materiala,
supplies and equipment used in private construction
and remodeling. Add to that the 35 per cent increase
on corporation franchises, the 40 per cent tax on retail
sales of cigars and other tobacco products, the tripled
price of a retail permit to sell beer and wine, a three
per cent tax on restaurant meals costing more than
11, a five per cent levy on hotel rooms costing more
than $2, a two cents per quart tax on lubricating oil,
a levy on dance and reducing salons, a one per cent
boost on natural gas taxes, a 10 per cent tax on coS-
metics and radio and television parts, a five per cent
boost on liquor taxes, an Ipcreaxe in the new car tax,
a five per cent tax on commercial rentala. a levy on
coin operated machines, scrap metal and increased
taxes for membership in clubs.
So it'S easy to see why the Legislature may very
well be out of breath. As one Dentonite put it after
roading what may be taxed, "it includea everything but
fresh air."
In one very major respect, the proposed tax bill
. does break the ice on the Legislature’s reluctance to
face up to fact that the Texas tax base needs broaden-
ing. In another respect, the tax bill apparently fails to
take into consideration very much of the future. Ita
patchwork will likely be in even more pieces by the
time the House finally geta around to passing it on to
the Senate and then the same basic problems will crop
up every two yean.
In the meantime, it will be interesting to see what
parts of the tax bill draw the loudest yelpa from legis-
fatora, moat of whom campaigned against a aalea tax
but who now must surely realize that some new taxes
must be levied—as long as they’re not levied on their
constituents.
Thus Texas faces again the proapect of a houseful
of legislators eager to spend money but highly reluc-
tant to Mt any long range program to pay the bill.
