Senate Unit
Gives Report
About Baker
WASHINGTON- The Senate
Rules Committee has submitted
to the Senate its-report on the
financial dealings of Former
Senate Aide .Bobby Baker. The
report submitted by the commit-
tee’s Democratic majority accus-
es Baker of gross improprieties,
and says the concealment of
these business and financial
dealings proves Baker was aware
of their impropriety. A separate
report by the Republican ma-
jority accuses the Democrats of
a cover-up on the Baker case.
The GOP maintains the Baker
investigation has not yet been
completed, and cited the failure
to call White House Aide Walter
Jenkins as a witness. But the Re-
publicans did concur that Baker
was guilty of gross wrong-do-

but says Uel Stockard, county
agent, both names refer to the
insect that can be a source of
genuine irritation to city and
rural residents.
The chigger right now is in-
festing many lawns in the coun-
ty, and it likes nothing better
than to attach itself to man or
animal and gorge as a parasite.
Where the chigger bites, the re-
sult for man and animal is a
painful swelling and irritation,
plus much itching.
Idento-Tags of
DAV Are Being
Mailed Texans
Idento-Tags — those familiar
parts of the body where the
clothing fits tightly. The chigger
on the body actually is a larva,
brightly orange-yellow in color,
that attaches itself and inserts
its mouth parts into the skin and
ejects the fluid that causes the
extreme irritation with which
most Ellis County residents are
familiar.
After gorging for about four
days, the chigger drops off the
human body, and changes first
into a nymph then into an adult
chigger, neither of which is
parasitic.
The county agent says that
residents can control the chigger
in their lawns by spraying with
Chlordane, Toxaphene- or Lin
dane insecticides. Dusting the
lawn with insecticide is the
Following a several hours*
search, the body of 16-year-old
Roy Lee Johnson of Palmer was
found, after the youth drowned
Friday afternoon on a fishing
trip to a tank in the Elm Creek
area.
Officers related the youth
went fishing about 3 p.m. Fri-
day with two dogs. One of the
dogs returned home later with-
out the boy and this started a
search for Roy Lee.
It was stated officers searched
the area of Elm Creek for
some time before locating the
tank where the youth drowned.
The body was recovered around
11 p.m. Friday.
The other dog was found
with the boy’s clothes at t h e
tank, Sheriff McCollum said.
Searchers included officers
from Ennis, Waxahachie, high-
way patrolmen and the Ellis
County Emergency Corps as
well as many people from the
Palmer area. Dragging equip-
ment was taken to the scene but
was not used.
Roy Lee is the son of Mrs.
Pearline Johnson of Palmer. :

Cotton Land
This Yr. Less
WASHINGTON. (AIP). — The
Agriculture Department reports
that land planted to cotton this
year totaled 14,754,000 acres.
That’s a decrease of about one-
half of one per cent from last
year.
The department makes no
prediction on production. How-
ever, if the yield per acre equals
that of last year, the crop
would be around 14,700,000
bales. Last year’s production was
15,327,000. The average from
1957 to 1961 was 13,125,000.

Youth Conference is a result of
the enthusiasm, energy and dedi-
cation of the teenage leaders
from every segment of the state
of Texas.
Every one of the 1,800 dele-
gates who will come to Austin
for this Conference will play i
vital role in this challenging pro-
gram to make youth an integral
part of the solution to the rising
trends in young adult crime. We
look forward to a highly success-
ful 1964 Conference.”
Following the Conference the
students will return to their re-
spective communities and put
into effect their individual pro-
grams within the framework of
their high school activities when
school reconvenes in September.

Texas DAV Adjutant Ernest C.
Ledwell.
The Idento-Tage are exact
replicas of the 1964 Texas li-
cense plates—and each of the
1,165,000 motorists will receive
a set bearing his personal
number to attach to his k e y
rings, Ledwell said. Mailings
are already underway and will
continue through August, he
said—with distribution being
made by license number—in
numerical order.
The tiny tags provide ‘lost key
insurance” for the state’s mo-
torists, said Ledwell. He noted
that Idento-Tags have helped
return more than 2,000,000 sets
of lost keys and other
valuables, since the DAV pro-
gram begin in 1941.
The Texas Adjutant pointed
out that License Idento-Tags
are distributed free of charge
to more than 40,000,000 Ameri-
can motorists every year.
“Texas motorists have no
obligation to use the tags or re-
turn them,” said Ledwell.
"They are public service
provided by DAV without
charge to help identify and re-
turn lost keys.”
However, all motorists have
an opportunity to support the
DAV’s extensive national pro-
gram to be of service to the na-
tion’s more than 2,000,000 war-
time disabled vets by making a
small contribution when they
receive the tags, Ledwell said.
Residents are cautioned by the
agent to follow the manufactur-
er’s label directions for mixing
the insecticide sprays. Says he:
"If you want to mix two or three
gallons at a time, use a compress-
ed air or knapsack sprayer, and
apply two and a half to three gal-
lons on every thousand square
feet of lawn.”
