Beckworth 'mentioned no names.
He said the "smear" letters have

of these letters.

White in his bid for a second term
as agriculture commissioner. - t
White, 27 year old former agri-
culture/ teacher, surprised Texas
political experts two years ago
when he defeated the late J. E.
McDonald, veteran incumbent who
had served 20 years.
The youthful commissioner jump-
ed Into the field early this year in
his race for re-election, announc-
ing on Jan. 1, and quickly drew his
two opponents.
He is opposed by Billy E. Beard
of Bryan, former appraiser for the
Texas veterans land program who
said he learned farming by “push-
ing a plow,” and Walter McKay of
Fredericksburg, who served in the
Agriculture Department for 22
years and resigned in .1950 as chief
of the division of horticulture and
plant quarantine.
Established Market News
White asked for a second term
on the basis of his record during
two years in office. ~
Among achievements of his ad-
ministration, he said, were reor-
ganization of the department, ac-
quiring a staff of “trained and ex-
experienced personnel... based
on qualifications and not on politi-
cal connections,’’ establishment of
a market news service for poultry,
fruit and vegetables, and revision
