I turned over on the second
page and discovered an arti-
cle saying the government has
launched an investigation of
the weather.
As I understand it, the wea-
ther bureau had predicted a
big snow storm which they
discovered out in the Gulf of
Mexico was gonna stay in the
ocean, but contrary to regula-
ttions it violated the predictions
and headed for the East,
swamping Washington and New
York.
Naturally, this called for an
investigation, and one has now
been launched.
What I'm writin you about
is this: I would like to have a
job as a government weather
investigator. I figure that's one
government job I could handle,
without leavin my farm. I’ve
got as much weather out here
as they’ve got in Washington,
it needs investigatin just as
much as theirs, it's just as un-
reliable and runs counter to the
predictions just as often, and
I believe I've got as much
equipnemt as anybody for find-
ing out where a snow storm is
two weeks after it's melted.
In fact, I'm set up and ready
to go. All I lack is gettin on
the pay roll

Colonel Homer Garrison Jr.,
director of the Texas Depart-
ment of Public Safety, says it
is hard for him to understand
public apathy to deaths and
injuries on the highways.
In all wars in which this
nation has participated since
1777 more than a million men
were killed.
Since the first traffic fata-
lity in 1899, more than a mil-
lion persons have died in traf-
fic accidents. Garrison said in
a speech here.
By, putting into effect a re-
latively simple program of en-
gineering, education, and en-
forcement, and with real pub-
lic support of that program, the
traffic death rate could be cut
in half. Garrison declared.
This being the 50th anniv-
ersary of the commercial motor
vehicle. Governor Shivers is-
sued an official proclamation
inviting Texans "to consider
the great accomplishments and
the bright future of the truck-
ing industry and to salute the
men and women who are as-
sociated with it, on the occa-
sion of the Fiftieth Anniversary
of motor freight transporta-
tion.”

dorsement of former vice-pre-
sident John Nance Garner of
Uvalde.
Texas Republicans have an-
nounced that they will put up
a strong candidate against
Johnson.
Former congressman Ben
Guill of Pampa, now an assist-
ant to the U. S. postmaster gen-
eral, seemed a likely GOP
choice.
Anti-Johnson Democrats al-
so are moving behind the scenes
to select a candidate.
Governor Shivers was not
considered by most observers
here as a probable starter in
the senatorial race. Nor was
former governor Coke Steven-
son, who lost to Johnson by
that historic 87-vote margin
the last time out.

agriculture, is the newest pros-

White declined to permit his
name to go on the Republican
ticket for commissioner of agri-
culture last year under the
cross-filing arrangement. Other
candidates for state offices
were on both tickets.
A strong critic of Secretary
Benson, White has particularly
