Car Inspection
At Once Urged
By Safety Dept.
Col. Homer Garrison Jr., di-
rector of the Texas Department
of Public Safety, commended
Texas motorists today for their
improving compliance with the
Motor Vehicle Inspection law..
“Already some 250,000 more
vehicles are displaying the new
inspection sticker than there
were at the same time last year,”
he said. “This indicates that
Texans are aware of the bene-
fits of having their cars inspect-
ed early. Not only does it give
each driver the assurance that
his vehicle is mechanically
sound, it also relieves him of
the irritating necessity of hav-
ing to wait in line as the April
15 deadline draws nearer.”
“Those drivers who have not
yet had their car inspected
should make plans to have it
done as soon as possible,” Gar-
rison said. “And they should
have no trouble locating an
authorized inspection station. A
new official standard sign has
been issued each station, and is
displayed near the service en-
trance where the inspection is
made.”
Although many more motor-
ists have had their cars inspect-
ed early this year, some 3,450,-
000 still have to be inspected
during the next three months.
This means that each inspection
station will have to inspect over
10 cars per day on the average
to get each vehicle inspected
before the deadline.
“It is easy to see,” the DPS
director said, “that lines will be-
gin to form as the deadline draws
nearer, for if a station inspects
only four or five a day during
the next month or so, then the
load will increase to 15 or more
per day as the owner brings his
car in later.”
In urging motorists to have
their car inspected now, Garri-
son reminded them that when a
mechanic asks for permission to
inspect a vehicle he is attempt-
ing to save time for himself and
the motorist.

bined counties of Ellis and’ Hill.

railroad crossings.
His name has appeared on six
other pieces of legislation that
are now laws of Texas.
Rep. Satterwhite stated that
he is indebted to the people of
Ellis County for opportunity
to serve them in the legislature
for the past three years. “The
responsibility of representing
people in our democracy is an
endeavor to which I feel a
keen dedication. We have
made an effort to bring to this
endeavor an active and energet-
ic approach. The State of Texas
is moving forward as never be-
fore and with the support off the
people of Ellis and Hill Coun-
ties—I pledge a continued
course of responsible progress.”

Man Charged
In Tex. Robbery
Found Dead
KANSAS CITY—A man charg-
ed with receiving money taken
in a supermarket robbery at
Houston was found dead in a
cemetery in a Kansas City sub-
urb today.
Police said the man, 40-year-
uld Salvatore Eug; ha Palma had
been shot in the temple and the
back.
A caretaker discovered the
body—face down and fully
clothed—in Mount Olivet Ceme-
tery in Raytown.
Federal officials said they had
been expecting Palma to appear
in court to change his plea, but
his attorney had not been able
to locate him. He had pleaded
innocent September 13th.
Palma was to have gone on
trial in U-S District Court Mon-
day. He was charged with illegal
transportation and receipt
through the mail of stolen mon-
ey and a .38 caliber pistol involv-
ed in the Houston supermarket
robbery last July 30th. Money
taken in the robbery totaled
$15,700.
Indicted with Palma Septem-
ber 2nd were two Kansas City
men, 39-year-old Vincent (Beans)
Inzerillo and 60-year-old Vincent
Mangiaracina.
U-S District Attorney Rus-
sell Mill asked the FBI to in-
vestigate the killing of Palma,
since Padma was under federal
indictment.

Soc. Security to
Texans in ‘65
Over 941,000 people in Texas
received over $725,000,000 in
monthly social security benefits
in 1965, according to John Dick-
enson, social security district
manager. “This is an increase of
over 49,000 people and $93,000,-
000 over 1964”, Dickenson said.
Nationwide, by the end of the
year, 20.8 million persons were
receiving $1.5 billion monthly in
cash social security benefits.
In Dallas County over 86,000
people are now receiving bene-
fits amounting to over $6,200,000
monthly and totaling over $74,-
000,000 per year.
“The main reason for the in-
crease in money paid out”, Dick-
enson continued, “was the 7 per-
cent increase in benefits, enact-
ed in July but retroactive to
January 1965”. In September,
checks covering the retroactive
payments and amounting to
$885, million nationally were
sent out to more than 20 million
people then on the social secur-
ity rolls.
The Social Security Amend-
ments of 1965 also made 61,000
persons in Texas newly eligible
for monthly benefits and added a
program of health insurance for
people 65 or over which will
go into effect beginning July 1,
1966.
Dickenson said that the health
insurance program—known as
Medicare— is available to 886,-
000 people 65 or over in Texas.
The basic hospital insurance
part, he continued, is automatic
for every one of these people,
whether or not they are eligible
for regular social security bene-
fits.
The medical insurance part,
covering doctors’ bills and other
medical expenses, is voluntary
and will cost the participant $3
a month (with the Federal gov-
ernment contributing a matching
amount). Those who want this
insurance have to sign up for it.
And, Dickenson emphasized,
people who are already at least
65 have only until March 31st to
sign up, if their coverage is to
begin on July 1st.

Austin-Based
Gang Blamed
DALLAS—Officers blame a
daring band of Austin-based bur-
glars for the thefts of an esti-
mated one million dollars in jew-
els from fashionable North Dal-
las homes.
The thefts have occurred dur-
ing the past decade, largely in
the Preston Hollow area.
According to police intelli-
gence reports, the gang also has
operated throughout the south-
west.
The head of the Dallas Police
Department’s Burglary and
Theft Bureau, Captain Walter
Fannin, said:
“We know some of the gang
have made some of our Preston
Hollow jobs. I can’t prove it. But
we know thy were there.”
The Dallas Times Herald said
today that building a case
against the gang has been a
combined operation of the Dal-
las police, the Department of
Public Safety and police depart-
ments of other cities.
Captain Bob Crowder, who
heads the Texas Rangers in Dal-
las, said a series of Texas bank
burglaries may be the work of
the gang. The Times Herald said
the gang has two leaders—one
seems to take over in Texas and
the other on out-of-state forays.
Dallas Police issued a bulletin
to other law enforcement agen-
cies identifying members of the
gang. But so far officers have
not been able to catch any mem-
bers of the gang in a crime.

Creep Feeding
Of EC Calves
On Increase
More and more cattlemen in
Ellis County are adopting the
practice of creep feeding calves,
which can make a more effecient
beef cattle operation if handled
right, according to County Agent
Uel Stockard.
Creep feeding is supplement-
ing the grass and milk of un-
weaned calves with feed not
available to the mother cows.
“In a small herd, the supple-
mental feed can be given to the
calves while they are separated
from the cows for a few hours
each day. But, in most cases it’s
best for the calves to have access
to feed at all times. This can
be done with a self-feeder plac-
ed in a lot that will keep older
cattle out, but has openings the
calves can pass through,” said
the agent.
“Creep feeding adds weight
and finish—and calves may grow
more uniformly in size and con-
. dition with less shrinkage at
weaning time.
“Cows may not lose as much
weight during the nursing per-
iod and creep feeding serves as
a market for home-grown feeds.
Many times creep-fed calves will
sell for a higher price than calv-
es not creep fed. All of these
advantages will very according
to the type of calves produced.
“But, creep feeding has some
limitations, too. Extra equipment
and labor are required. Calves
nursing good milking dams while
grazing on nutritious green pas-
tures may not respond to creep
feeding.
“But it will pay ranchers in
many cases to consider creep
feeding.
