Brother Veterans Speak On
Gifts for Yanks Who Gave
Two brother veterans of World
War II, one of whom is on con-
valescent leave after receiving se-
vere injuries overseas, today en-
listed support of Jaycees in the
American Legion's drive for
Christmas gifts for “Yanks who
gave," men who will be spending
the holiday season in Army and
Navy hospitals.
The men were Lt Raymond K.
Clifton. 33, son of Mr. and Mrs.
S. S. Clifton of 1609 Ashland, and
Drew Clifton, assistant district at-
torney and commander of Both-
well Kane Poet American Legion.
Lieutenant Clifton described
his experiences with a combat
engineer outfit in France, where
he waa seriously wounded Aug.
16 when a bulldozer overturned
on him as he was leading • a
night demolition squad only 300
yards from enemy lines.
‘“Having spent so much time in
a hospital myself, (he is a patient
at Brooke General Hospital, Fort
Sam Houston), I know how much
it means to the boys to receive
letters and packages any time. It's
easy for me to imagine how much
more getting packages will mean
to them at Christmas,” he told the
Jaycees.
Mr. Clifton urged Jaycees to
support the Legion drive by depos-
iting gifts in booths located in
Hotel Texas lobby. Stripling’s,
Monnig's, The Fair, Cox’s and
Leonard’s.

Sought by Harris Co.
HOUSTON, Dec. 6. (U.P) — The
Harris County School Board will
sponsor a request to the state
legislature that counties in large
population brackets be allowed to
submit a tax increase proposal
to voters for the purpose of rais-
ing teachers' salaries, officials
said today.
Decision to sponsor the bill
came in response to a request
from Dallas County that a 10
cents per $100 valuation equaliza-
tion tax for the raise be sought
by larger counties of the state.
Presently, Harris County has a
one-cent tax, and Dallas County
a five-cent tax for schools.
