Texas Revenue
Fund Still Red
TOWN NEWS
By HOWARD C. MARSHALL
AUSTIN. Aug. 31.—(PP—A vari-
colored picture of state govern-
ment finances was presented today
as the fiscal year ended. Experts
generally countered unfavorable
with favorable aspects
There was a deficit of approxi-
mately $24,000,000 in the general
revenue fund and a strong proba-
bility It would grow by $3,000,000
because of commitments already
made. It had mounted $5,000,000 in
the last 12 months
The problem of financing old
age pensions as the people seem
to want it financed, matching
individual contributions for
teachers retirements, aiding de-
pendent children and helping
needy blind remained unsolved.
But on the other hand, consid-
ering all funds, of which there are
about 100 there was an overall
cash balance of $18,000,000.
The deficit in the confederate
pension fund. $3,052,000 last Sep-
tember 1 had decreased to ap-
proximately $2,000,000, and bade
fair, due to a high- death rate

BANK PAYMENTS
The final installment of $180,000
to be paid September 10 in wiping
out a bank loan of $2,300,000 made
several years ago to avoid a cut
at the time in old age pensions
In 1943 the last of the famous
$20,000,000 in "bread " bonds will
have been paid off probably re-
leasing $2,750,000 a year revenue
now allocated for that purpose.
Regarding the general fund
deficit, not everyone views it
with alarm. Some think it a
good thing to have hanging
over members of the legislature
as a restraint of expenditures.
They suggest revenue is ade-
quate to eliminate it if appro-
priations are curtailed.
Others would levy moderate new
taxes gradually to put the fund on
a cash basis.
The general fund deficit exists
despite an overall cash balance,
because so many funds, all in the
treasury, are ear-marked for spe-
cial purposes Money in these
funds may not be used to meet
general government expenses.

The Petty Politician and the
Bureaucrat met in private debate
on the question "Shall local units
of government survive, or shall we
consider that all brains are con-
centrated on the banks of the Po-
tomac "
The mouse under the door told
this version of this to the blind
janitor, who left it for posterity
in his memoirs
PETTY POLITICIAN.—You know.
Brother Bureaucrat, thst Thomes
Jefferson said local self-govern-
ment not only is valuable as, art
end—that of democracy—but as a
means—that of giving a large
group of the people education in
the art of government
BUREAUCRAT-That sentence
is too long nincompoop Do It over.
PETTY P —I mean to say that
many a man gets practice in run-
ning a county or city that enables
him to make a state or national
official That county and city op-
erations are close enough to the
people thst they can observe them
and learn something about govern-
ment. while Washington is as far
away as the moon to about 90 per-
cent of the folks
BUREAUCRAT—Well, that was
in Jefferson's dav. when people
were ignorant.
PETTY P— Perhaps people aren’t
ignorant today they’re just confus-
ed They can’t learn as fast as
you fellows try to teach
Everybody is prepared to deal
with his constable sheriff, county
judges congressman, senator., state
representative, governor and" such
old-fashioned political officers.
But imagine the average citizen’s
plight when ‘the junior stenograph-
er in the outer bureau office refers
him to the junior administrative
assistant who promises rd forward
a memo on form 3-A-11 to the
second assistant to the district dl-I
rector who will take it all up with 1
the supervisor of the department
of claims who will confer with the
field representative for, the state)
arbiter of claims who will pass
final judgment when the complete
file has been submitted to him:
that with his approval the matter
will be re-checked by the state ad-
ministrator. then forwarded to the

Resident Dead
WINTERS Aug 31. (Spl.)—J. D.
Smith, Sr., 72, Runnels county resi-
dent 40 years, died tonight st his
home in Pumphrey community.
Funeral will be held at 3 Sunday
afternoon at Pumphrey, with the
Baptist pastor the Rev. F R. Cole,
officiating, assisted by the Rev. J.
H. McClain of Brownwood. Burial
will be in Wilr-eth cemetery.
Born in 1888 in Georgia, Smith
came to Texas as a child in an ox-
wagon. settling in Washington coun-
ty. There he married Jessie Cooper,
and the. lived for a time in Coryell
county, before Mrs. Smith's death in
1889. In 1901 he married Mattie
Green and came to Ballinger, where
they fanned one year before mov-
ing to Pumphrey.
Smith was a member of the Bap-
tist church and was prominent in
singing circles. He was precinct 3
commissioner for six years 1914-20.
Pride of his later years' was the
fact that his five sons were all
farmers and all on Smith land. Each
farmed on his father's land until
buying a place of his own.
Survivors include the widow, four
daughters. Mrs. J. S. Tierce of
Knox City, Mrs. Bill Turk and Mrs
Autrey Mitchell of Winters, and
Mildred Smith of Abilene: five sons.1

the crash scene
Dr. John Gibson, coroner
of
Loudoun, said "there was not any
doubt but that all persons aboard
were killed instantly,” Rhodes re-
ported. He said Dr. Gibson had
collected what remained of 12
bodies, five of them women.
-There just wasn’t anything
like a whole body there in that
blackness,” Rhodes said. -1 saw
the body of the pilot, one arm
was blown away and his body
crushed.”
Dr. Gibson said he had not even
considered when an inquest would
be held. We’ve got to wait for day-
light and get out there to see what
the scene really looks like. It is
terrible.”
All or most of the mail aboard
the plane had been collected to-
Washington, may have become
lost in the cloudburst and for .1
came from a report of Paul e
Rogers, a lumberman who lives
near Hillsboro, Va., and who
told Rhodes that he saw the
plane heading east, not west, a
few minutes before the crash.
The scene is equidistant between
Lovettsville and Hillsboro, about
seven miles from each.
HEAVY KAIN
Rhodes said he had to traverse a
muddy, boggy road to get there.
"About s thousand persons from
around here went out there right*
away," he said. "but officers were
guarding the place tonight. Resi-
dents described today's rain as the
worst in seven years, i
“You simply can't imagine such
a scene of disaster and wreckages
as that spot out there in the blue
ridge."1
