Johnson Will
Outline Rights
$ ; THF P AT Arm Rl STT FR - Thursday, March 18,1965
Bill to Cong.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi-
dent Johnson plans to outline
his voting rights bill to congress-
ional leaders today, then send
it to Congress tomorrow. He
spoke personally to a joint con-
gressional session—and to the
nation, via radio and T-V—last
night on the subject. His mess-
age: “The cries of pain, and the
hymns and protests of oppressed
people” must be answered with-
out delay, hesitation or com-
promise.
Meanwhile, in Selma, Alaba-
ma, focal point of a voter regis-
tration campaign, Negro leaders
are talking today about a march
to Montgomery, the state capital,
if a federal judge gives per-
mission. He’s currently holding
hearings on the matter in Mont-
gomery; Some Negro leaders say
they feel the time has come to
focus on Montgomery, because
it is the state capital.
OKAY—Cmdr. George Jacobssen of Centerdale, R. I., gives
the “okay” sign aboard the aircraft carrier Ranger after his
squadron returned from a strike against a North Vietnamese
ammunition dump at Phu .Qui, about 100 miles from Hanoi,
the red capitol of North Viet Nam. One of the Skyrader
planes of Jacobssen’s squadron was lost at sea during the
return flight.

The Soviet News Agency Tass
has quoted extensively from
President Johnson’s voting rights
speech — and has described in
detail the bill he plans to send
to Congress. How long will it
take to pass the bill? There’s
some talk of one month—but at
least oh the Senate side, some
leaders are not predicting.
Chairman Emanuel Celler of
the House Judiciary Committee
says his group will start hear-
ings one week from today. And
he predicts House action by ear-
ly next month.
Senate Republican Leader
Everett Dirksen, who called
Johnson’s speech a good one
that will doubtless bear fruit,
predicted that a bill can be pass-
ed in a month. There’s some
feeling that Senate leaders may
move to bring directly to the
Senate floor whatever bill the
House passes. This would by-pass
the Senate Judiciary Committee
headed by James Eastland of Judge
Mississippi, where civil rights
ly bottled up.
Eastland was one of a number
of southern lawmakers Who stay-
ed away from Johnson’s speech
last night. The speech got wide-
spread bi-partison support. But
such southerners as Congress-
man George Andrews of Alaba-
ma said President Johnson had
sold out to the Negroes 100 per
cent. And Senator Allen Ellen-
der of Louisiana, threatens to
fillibuster.
Among southerners praising
Johnson’s stand on voting rights
were Senator Thurston Morton
of Kentucky. He said, however,
that he thought it would have
been more effective if Johnson
had not also dwelt on the great
society of the civil rights situa-
tion.

Luther King has issued a state-
ment praising President John-
son’s address to Congress last
night. He calls it one of the most
eloquent, unequivocal, and pas-
sionate pleas for human rights
ever made by a president of the
United States. King adds:

GAS FIRE SNUFFED
AFTER 15 HOURS
MADISONVILLE—A gas fire
that had raged almost 15 hours
at an oil well drilling site ten
miles south of Madisonville was
snuffed out this morning by fire
fighting experts from Houston.
Gas under heavy pressure
burst free and caught fire quick-
ly late yesterday afternoon, top-
ping the drilling derrick. The
well was being drilled by Lane
and Wells Drilling Company of
Tyler. The fire was extinguished
by members of the Red Adair
Oil Well Fire Fighting Team
from Houston.
US Navy Plane
Crash-Lost Pilot
Sought Near Viet
SAIGON—A search continues
today for the pilot of a U-S Navy
plane that crashed into the sea
in South Viet Nam yesterday.
The fighter-bomber went down
short of its carrier while return-
ing from an air raid into North
Viet Nam. A military spokesman
in Saigon says there is no trace
of the missing flier.
U-S policy makers are consid-
ering the possibility of a further
increase in American forces in
South Viet Nam—possibly the
dispatch of some units of Army
troops. A boost in U-S manpower
in the torn southeast Asian coun-
try is believed to have been one
of the topics at a White House
meeting yesterday. At that meet-
ing, General Harold Johnson,
the Army Chief of Staff, report-
ed to the President on his trip
last week to South Viet Nam.
Earlier this month, Johnson
estimated that 7,500 Communist
have been killed in the fighting
in Viet Nam. However, the De-
fense Department said today
that based on their figures—
which come from a body count—
the correct figure is more like
20,500 dead.
Soviet Foreign Minister Gro-
myko has arrived in London for
four days of talks. The British
are proposing to Gromyko that
the Russians join them in seek-
ing an informal cease-fire in
Viet Nam followed by peace
negotiations. Government sourc-
es in London say the British
formula was worked out with
President Johnson’s terms for
negotiations in mind.
Care of Plants
CALL TO ALLIES
WASHINGTON — Under-Sec-,
retary of State George Ball has
called on our allies to play a big-
ger roll in world affairs.
...and 1,500,000 staples
A giant boiler drum for a new generating unit and 1,500,000 staples
. . . two of thousands of items purchased by Texas Power & Light Com-
pany during 1964 to expand and improve its facilities to keep pace with
increasing use of electricity.
The boiler drum was installed at TP&L’s new Trinidad plant and the
staples are, used primarily for attaching ground wires to poles and
lightning arrestors.
Following are a few facts from TP&L’s 1964 Annual Report which point
up the Company's continuing growth and ability to serve its customers:
• Spent more than $55,800,000 for
new and improved facilities.
• Made plans for additional construc-
tion during 1965 and 1966 totaling
$98 million.
• Built 160 miles of new transmission
lines.
• Added 17,000 new customers.
* Assisted in locating 53 new indus-
tries in the area served by the Com-
pany.
* Continued programs of assistance to
farming and ranching people to aid
them in increasing production and
profits.
* Continued support of a wide range
of research and development proj-
ects aimed at even better electric
service and the economic growth of
the service area.
Since it was organized in 1912, Texas Power & Light Company has
worked unceasingly to meet its obligations to those it is privileged to
serve and its responsibilities as a citizen. It will continue to do so in the
years ahead.

Watch Out for
Plant Diseases,
Tells Gardeners
In Dim Light Is
Told by EC Ag’t
Here’s help for indoor plants
that suffer from insufficient
light.
Planters which serve as room
dividers are often far from a
window-—and the lack of light
may result in long, splindling
plants that are not attractive.
These plants can be grown
successfully in dim light, how-
ever. It just takes a bit of ad-
justment, says Claudia McDon-
ald, county home demonstration
agent, who points out:
“Try these suggestions for
growing foliage plants in dim
light: Water the plants to sat-
uration but only often enough
to prevent wilting. To acclimate
the plant to dry-soil conditions,
start watering to saturation as
usual, then gradually lengthen,
the intervals between waterings.
Don’t be alarmed if some of the
older leaves fall off. This is,
part of the re-adjustment. Just
be sure the plant doesn’t wilt.
“Fertilize the plants more
sparingly than normal. Use only
about a third as much fertilizer
as recommended for plants grow-
ing under strong light condi-
tions.
“Turn the thermostat down to
65 degrees Fahrenheit when-
ever you can—at night and
when you’re away from home. If
you can add moisture to the air,
do so.
“Consider providing supple-
mentary lighting with fluores-
cent tubes. Regular incadescent
lights or reflector floods can be
used for spotlighting, but they
are too hot for the plants when
used in the amount necessary
for growing. Place flowering
plants no farther than 12 to
18 inches from the lamps. For
best results, put the 40-watt
flourescent tubes no farther
than 36 inches from the non-
flowering plants for 16 hours a
day.”
“Homeowners and gardeners
in Ellis County may find it dif-
ficult to grow shrubs, flowers
and other ornamentals this
year,” says Assistant County
Agent Jim Philpot. “The heavy
blackland soils of this area are
very apt to carry a variety of
disease causing organisms.
“Now, that planting and grow
ing time is upon us, it is a good
time to note that many diseases
occurring later in the year can
be prevented now.
“When buying bulbs or corms,
make sure that their surfaces
appear healthy and free of dis-
colored areas. Clean, chemically
treated seed should be first
choice of the buyer. Such seeds
and stocks are often much more
resistant to soil borne organisms,
and will also help to eliminate
seed-borne diseases.
“Gardners should always grow
transplants in sterilized soil.
This will prevent spread of soil
borne diseases from plant beds
to gardens and other planting
.areas.
“If nematodes have been a
problem in the past, it would
be wise to treat soils with a
nematocide before planting.

tions on disease control of orna-
mentals grown around the home,

Opportunity for
Youth Having
Band Experience
High school graduates who
have had band experience may
now enlist in the Army and be
guaranteed assignment to the
band of their choice for at least
a year, reports 2nd Lt. Marvin
E. Keefer, Fourth Army staff
band officer.
“There is a continuing short-
age of woodwind musicians in
all Army bands,” he adds, “and
the 10 bands in the five-state
Fourth Army area are no excep-
tion. We especially need players
of the French horn, flute, basso-
on, clarinet and oboe. Another
need in Army bands is pianists,
for all bands have a concert re-
quirement as well as marching.”
Highly skilled amateur or pro-
fessional musicians may be as-
signed directly to the band of
their choice immediately after
completion of eight weeks of
basic training. Those who lack
skills for direct assignment are
sent to the School of Music at
Little Creek, Va., for 20 weeks
before going to the chosen band.
The school offers private instru-

mental instruction, and classes
in fundamentals of music, theory
and harmony, ear training, sight
singing and band rehearsal.
The primary duties of an Ar-
my bandsman revolve around
playing his instrument full time
—marching in military or civic
ceremonies and parades, per-
formingin both formal and in-
formal concerts. Most organized
bands also feature smaller
groups which play as combos for
local dances.
“There are 64 different Army
bands in the continental United
States,” Lieutenant Keefer points
out. “Interested musicians also
may elect to be assigned to a
band chosen by the Army, and
this choice carries the probabil-
ity of duty with a band in an
overseas area. Career possibil-
ities in Army bands lead through
the enlisted grades to warrant
and commissioned officer grad-
es.”
The 10 bands in the Fourth
Army area are: Headquarters
Fourth Army Band and the 323d
Army Band of Brooks Army
Medical Center, both at Fort
Sam Houston in San Antonio,
Tex.; the 1st Armored Division
Jeep Band, the 2nd Armored
Division Band, and the 266th
Army Bands at Fort Bliss, Tex.,
the 60th Army Band at Fort
Polk, La.; the 62nd and 424th
Army Bands at Fort Bloss, Tex.,
and the 77th Army Band and
97th Army Band at Fort Sill,
Okla.

procedures for enlisting direct-
ly into an Army band.
