SW&esks 12-0 Win Over Giddings
STRAIGHT!!
In Thursday’s Press, an advertisement for Homer Thornberry implied that the
celebrated and so far un-built Laneport Dam was approved before Thornberry took
office, that he inherited the thing.
Actually, and we quote Col. G. B. Page of the U.S. Army Engineer Division,
Southwestern Corps of Engineers, 1114 Commerce Street, Dallas, Texas, “the Laneport
dam was authorized by Congress in 1954.” It had been proposed and recommended by
the Army Engineers in 1948, but not authorized by Congress.
Homer Thornberry took office in 1949. He had been serving FIVE YEARS when
the dam was authorized. Surely in that time he could have found out how the people of
Williamson County felt about protecting 16,090 acres of Milam County land by covering up
16 000 acres of Williamson County land. He could have—if he had visited with the
people, instead of staying in Washington and depending on the advice of local political
advisers.
It is absolutely inexcusable for a Congressman to be so far out of touch with the
home folks. Remember, a petition opposing the big dam at Laneport and favoung two
dams at Georgetown was signed by 3,000 people, including every banker in Taylor,
Granger, Georgetown, Bartlett, Schwertner, Jarrell, Florence and Liberty Hill, by the
elected county officials, by business and professional people, and 2.000 farmers and
ranchers. The city commissions of Taylor, Georgetown and Granger unanimously en-
dorsed this stand.
In spite of this, Homer Thornberry kept pulling for the Laneport dam. Why? You
answer it, we can’t.
What’s the status of the proposed three big dams on the San Gabriel? Thornberry
has gotten lots of applause for getting two dams at Georgetown “authorized.” This is fairly
meaningless. The Laneport dam has been “authorized” since 1954. Congress has just gotten
through “authorizing” four billion dollars worth of such projects throughout the country.
Many of them will never be built. They are just election-year promises.
In spite of the Texas Water Commission’s recommendation that the two George-
town dams be built first, the Army Engineers do not agree. The Chief of Engineers,
Washington, D.C., states- “Simultaneous construction of the three dams cannot be recom-
mended. The plan and sequence proposed in our report is considered the best plan in the
interest of all purposes to be served, particularly in view of the immediate importance of
Laneport in controlling floods on the San Gabriel and Brazos Rivers. In view thereof,
the Chief of Engineers does not concur in the sequence of construction recommended
by the Texas Water Commission.”
The Texas Water Commission was then asked if its recommendation of starting at
Georgetown was binding. The answer from Chairman Joe D. Carter was: “I do not know
how binding the Army Engineers might consider our recommendations to be. I do not
interpret our Order as being not subject to review and change . ..”
In other words, despite the fact Williamson County citizens led by County Judge
Sam Stone filled the Water Commission’s hearing room to overflowing protesting the
building of a Laneport dam first, the matter is by no means settled and the Army Engineers
are sticking by their guns to build Laneport first.
If the Laneport dam is built first, it will be many a year before Georgetown gets
anv dams, and it could be never, thus leaving Williamson County still subject to San
Gabriel River floods. You can’t really imagine Congress voting, or the country being
able to afford, forty-five million dollars for three dams on a stream no bigger than the
San Gabriel, whose watershed in Williamson and Milam counties contains around 400,000
acres. That would be over $100 an acre.
Check these two statements:
(1) I have pledged my word in writing to support the Laneport dam and will
work diligently for its construction.”—Homer Thornberry, Congressman.
(2) “The way to handle flood control and water storage on the San Gabriel is to con-
struct two dams west of Georgetown, then construct a series of soil conservation
dams along the creeks that feed into the San Gabriel. After these steps have
been taken, if it should be determined that additional protection farther down
the Brazos watershed is needed, I would propose a dam at the junction of the
San Gabriel and Little River in Milam County. I pledge in writing that, if I
am elected to Congress, I will oppose the construction of any dam at the Lane-
port site with all my energy.”—Jim Dobbs, candidate for Congress.

all the way to the end zone but I
was hit and stepped on the side- l
line marker at the five. At that t
point the Duck defense closed the I
door and recovered a fourth down |
fumble at the seven.
The rest of the opening half
found the teams sparring at mid-
field except for two sorties by
Taylor. Quarterback Roy Reich-
enbach and fullback Jimmy Mo-
hel rammed the ball deep into
Buff territory twice but the Gid-
dings defense got tough at that
point and blunted both drives at i
the 5 yard line.
Taylor opened the second half I
with a sparkling 60 yard drive I

winning points. Again it was Mo-

The Southwest Conference, a

the leader is an 18-point under-
dog to the second place team

game all season is an 18-point
choice.

'eated pace-setter. runs into the
inusual situation of being rated
3 touchdowns weaker than run
nerup Texas. The Methodists try
to make that a fallacy in a bat-
le at Austin.
Rice, which hasn’t yet won a
game, is an 18-point selection to
66' it Saturday. Texas Tech,
whom the Owls play at Hous-
ton, hasn’t even tied one, some-
hing 'the Owls have managed.
In fact, it was Rice’s 14-14 dead-
lock with Texas that created the
SMU-Texas situation.

Southern Methodist, fortunate
in being able to play the low-rat-

result of victories over Rice and
Texas Tech. Texas met what
was supposed to be its tough-

Leroy Kolinek returned the
kick-off to the Elgin 21. Butch
Lee went back to pass but was
trapped and ran to the 15. Heier-
man took his patented reverse
again with Dlouhy flattening the
end and Kolinek getting three
Elgin players wih one block at
the five to clear the way. The

Elgin quickly retaliated with
another 75 yard’ burst for a score

their final score of 20 points. Ken-
ny Baldwin took the kick-off at
the 30 out to the middle and then
picked up good interference to
the right side and sprinted six-
ty-five yards for the last Taylor
touchdown. Butch Lee got the
extra points at right end and the
final score was reached at 52-20

The fourth quarter was score-
less with Elgin and Taylor each
