Gas Contract
COLORADO CITY. July
(RNS) — Lone Star Gas Co was

granted permission by the Colora-
do City City Council Monday night
to continue to operate here until
a new franchise can be enacted—
pro bably within 60 days.
The 25-year-old charter has ex-
pired, two gas company officials.
R H Gray, division superintend-
ent. and R. 0. Pearson, division
engineer, both of Abilene, and R
J Porter, Colorado City manager,
reported.
A three - year contract was re-
newed by a 2-1 vote with the audit-
ing firm of Todd. Knight and Todd,
represented by Darrel Knight and
O H Burkett of Abilene, to audit
the city's books.
Councilman Walter Grubbs had
asked the council to delay a vote
until the contract of S450 a year
could be compared with rates of
other firms. The suggestion was
hotly protested bv Ford Merritt,
city finance director, and was op-
posed by Roy Dozier, city manager,
who said the rate was low by com-
parison with that charged to cities
of similar size.
Councilman Jeff Taylor and Al-
ton Moore voted to renew the con-
tract, while Grubbs voted "No.”
The mayor does not vote except
in case of a tie. Only four mem-
bers of the council were present.
Because of the absentees, the
council delayed action on,appoint-
ment of a councilman to replace
Bill Craddock, who resigned at the
last council meeting and moved to

were mostly political oldtimers.
Maybe that was their trouble.They
used the oldtime approach: Bull
your way through.
When that failed all they had
left was the primitive tactic of
personal attack. They used that on
Gov. Dewey but it didn’t work
then, either.
Perhaps nothing would have
worked. Perhaps Eisenhower’s
nomination was cinched before the
convention started. At any rate,
Taft’s righthand men are blaming
one another now for what hap-
pened in Chicago.
By sheer force, because they
controlled the convention machin-
ery, they rolled over Eisenhower
before the convention started by
loading the speakers’ list with pro-
Taft people
But. looking back, it’s plain now
that Taft began losing ground when
his Southern followers got into a
wrangle with the Eisenhower peo-
ple over delegates.
It handed the Eisenhower staff
something they badly needed, an
issue. They worked it for all it
was worth. They called it a moral
issue. They cried “theft and cor-
ruption." They got the Republican
governors to yell for “fair play."
This rumpus practically guaran-
teed Eisenhower would win the dis-
puted delegates once the quarrel
hit the convention floor, and for
this reason:
Unless he won, the party would
have to go into the campaign with
a corruption charge over its head,
the very charge the Republicans
wanted to use against the Demo-
crats. S
Whether or not there was a de-
fect in Taft’s advisers, such as
inflexibility or inability to gauge
the magnitude of the delegate dis-
pute. once it started they seemed
unable to save themselves.
They showed this in barring TV
and radio from the national com-
mittee hearings on the delegates,
an action completely unnecessary
since they let newsmen cover
every word of the hearings.
But it played into the hands of
the Eisenhower people by adding
to whatever suspicions or doubts
they already had been able to
plant in the public mind.
