NO MISTAKE—Republican gubernatorial nominee Winthrop Rockefeller has his campaign bus
'in order and is ready to tour the state of Arkansas in his bid to unseat Democratic incumbent
A Gov. Orval E. Faubus. The bus is equipped with loud speakers, a portable platform and a con-
ference room which can be used for sleeping. No, the backward spelling of the words “Rocke-
feller for Governor” is not a mistake—they are printed that way for the benefit of rear-
view mirrors.

Brown Patches on
Lawn May Be
Chinch Bug Area
Unsightly brown patches in
your lawn may be due to damage
from chinch bugs, reports Uel
Stockard, Ellis County Agent.
He says:
“Chinch bugs are primarily a
pest of St. Augustine lawns. The
adults and nymphs suck plant
juices, resulting in browned
areas in the lawn. Injured areas
frequently are first noted along
edges of the lawn.
“These tiny, fast-moving in-
sects may be spotted scurrying
around the edges of brown
patches in sunny areas of the
lawn. The adult is one fifth to
one sixth inch long with a black
body, reddish-yellow legs and
fully-developed wings.
“Insecticides now available
for chinch bug control are Diaz-
inon, ethion, and Trithion. Any
one will rid your lawn of these
pests in about two weeks, al-
though treatments may have to
be repeated.
“Lawns should be watered be-
fore spraying to aid in penetra-
tion of the spray through the
grass mat. However, when using
granular materials, it is not nec-
essary to wet the lawn.
Ex-Mayor of
Pasadena Gets
60 Yr. Penalty
HOUSTON—A one-time mayor
of the Houston suburb of Pasa-
dena, Lawyer Sam Hoover, was
found guilty this morning of
master-minding the torture rob-
bery of a wealthy Houston
couple.
The jury of eight men and
four women set his penalty at
sixty years in the state peniten-
tiary.
The jury began its delibera-
tions last night with $15,000
worth of allegedly stolen diam-
onds on a table in front of them.
The trial went to the jury at
4:36 yesterday afternoon. About
an hour and a half later the
jurors asked to see a five-carat
diamond and a three-carat diam-
ond allegedly stolen during the
robbery last March 11th.
The victims of the torture
robbery were Mr. and Mrs. Mair
Schepps.
Hoover showed no emotion as
the sentence was read in Judge
Arnold Krichamer’s court after
the jury had deliberated eight
hours.
District Attorney Frank Bris-
coe had sought the death penal-
ty. The state contended Hoover,
an attorney who once made an
unsuccessful race for Harris
County judge, had master-mind-
ed the March 11th robbery at
the home of Schepps, a wealthy
tobacco wholesaler.
Hoover’s attorney, [ Warren
Burnett of Odessa,; asked that
the jury be polled. ” !- i
Asked Judge Krichamer: "So
say all you, ladies and gentle-
men?” i
One by one the jurors replied
the verdict was his or her own.
Burnett then filed immediate
notice of appeal.
