MANPOWER SAVING: When
I was serving as chairman of the
(Senate Preparedness (Committee,
I brought to light many instances
of waste of military manpower.
The Defense Department has
just announced, after a review of
manpower needs, that about 160,-
0.0 military jobs previously auth-
orized have been eliminated. The
review eliminated 69,000 person-
nel and permitted the reassign-
ment of 91,000 personnel from
non-combat to combat jobs.

AIR ACADEMY: When Air
Force Secretary Talbott appeared
recently before the Senate Armed
Services Committee, I questioned
him at length about reports that
he had ruled out all proposed Air
Academy sites in Texas. He had
been quoted in newspaper stories
to that effect..
The Secretary denied the accur-
acy of the stories. He said he
has not ruled out either Randolph
Field, Grapevine or Texhoma as
a possible site.

TAX RELIEF? Senator George
of Georgia has proposed increas-
ing personal income tax exemp-
tion from the present $600 a year
to $800 this year and $1,000 next
year.
For a married man with two
children, this would mean addi-
tional personal exemptions this
year of $800 for his family. The
income tax rate is roughly 20 per
cent. Under Senator George’s
proposal, the man’s 1954 income
tax would be reduced by $160..
Next year’s saving would be $320.
Senator George feels his plan
is the proper approach to head off
a serious downturn in the econ-
omy. President Eisenhower has
indicated that if employment does
not rise in March, it will be a sig-
nal for the Government to take
! steps.
emphasize some of the points they
brought out.
Mr. Burns and Mr. Clark of
Brown Tomato Packers, San An-
tonio, discussed obtaining good
strong plants from Donna, Texas.
Several of the growers from the
Smithville area plan to get their
plants from this source.
A temporary committee of tom-
ato growers was organized and
Louis Helmcamp was elected tem-
porary chairman with Rudy Bunte
as secretary-treasurer. A working
committee was appointed consist-
ing of one grower from each com-
munity; Louis Steinback, Emil
Reimers, Bill Davis, Henry Young,
I. D. Easley, Gilbert Richards and
Jerry Sulak.
Any person who plans to raise
tomatoes and market them
through this program should con-
tact one of the committee mem-
bers, the Smithville Chamber of
Commerce, or the County Agent,
■and turn in the acreage they plan
to raise.

Bastrop County Boys
Exhibit Stock at Austin
Bob Long, Bastrop, and Tom- -
my Davis, Rosanky, had entries in .
the Junior Breeder’s Livestock
Show at Austin February 25 t.o
February 27. Both boys think ,
the show was a very good one and
wish that more 4-H Club boys
from this county would take ad-
vantage of that opportunity to
show their stock. By purchasing
breeding stock, the boys have a
chance to exhibit their stock and
still bring them home to keep.
Bob Long’s entry was a regis-
tered polled hreford bull that
placed fourth in the judging. This
is Bob’s first year to enter any
stock at a show, and he is plan-
ning to buy a heifer to enter next
year.
Tommy showed a registered
Jersey heifer and placed third in
his class. Tommy received a blue
ribbon on his heifer at a dairy
classification show at LaGrange
last fall. Tommy raised his heif-
er from a cow that he owned and
received as an award in the Sears-
Roebuck dairy program in 1952.
County Livestock Judging Team
A 4-H Club Livestock Judging
Team from Bastrop County enter-
ed the judging contest at the Aus-
tin Livestock Show on February
2'5 and placed sixth in the 4-H
'Club Division. Members of the
judging team from this county
were Kenneth Bartsch, Frederick
Goetz, and David Fiebrich of
Rockne, and Tommy Davis of Ro-
sanky.
Tomato Growers Meet
John Hutchison and B. G. Han-
cock, Extension Service Horticul-
turists, were speakers at a meet-
ing of tomato growers in Smith-
ville February 23. Mr. Hutchi-
son spoke on the tomato outlook
and some of the cultural prac-
tices for the growers to follow.
Mr. Hancock spoke on disease and
