'Holiday Hill Stone'
To Be Made In
"Holiday Hill stone's" new manu-
facturing center in Sweetwater is
rapidly taking shupe.
One square city block to the
southeast of the old Santa Fe pas-
senger station has been newly pa-
ved and surfaced for storing the
products.
The old Santa Fe station is being
remodeled as an office and display
room.
In a block to the north, boilers,
mixers, and various other pieces
of equipment are being set up.
The first installations here are
estimated to cost $100,000.
It will be about six weeks yet un-

First Round In
Bombing Contest1
SHREVEPORT. Aug. 2G —UP—
The Second Air Force announced
Thursday the 306th Bomb Wing
from MacDill Air Force Base,
Tampa, Fla., took first place in the
first round of the Strategic Air
Command's annual bombing and
navigation "world series."
The 306th, represented by a B-47
Stratojet commanded by Lt. Col.
Paul D. Puhlen, Alton, Iowa, took
first in bombing and in overall
bombing and navigation. Maj. J.
J. Murphy, Little Neck, L.I., N.Y.,
and Maj. J. F. Peppers, Wichita,
Kan., were Puhlen's crew.
The SAC bombers took off short-
ly after midnight last Monday
night for bombing runs against
Midwest cities. The Air Force an-
nounced they flew at such high
levels on the simulated missions
that residents of the cities under
"attack" were not aware of the
maneuvers.
The 22nd Bomb Wing, March
AFB, California, with a B-47, was
second in the overall competition
and the 6th Bomb Wing, Walker
AFB, New Mexico, third in a B-36.
The 308th Bomb Wing, Hunter
AFB, Georgia, and 305th Bomb
Wing, MacDill AFB, shared the
lead in navigation, as 1st Lts. W.
H. Hild, LeMoille, 111., and ,J. F.
Bird, Kenvil, N.J., turned in per-
fect scores in celestial navigation.
Second behind Puhlen's bombing
leaders was a B-47 from the 6th
Bomb Wing at Walker AFB. Crew
members were Col. C. C. McCuth-
eon, Dallas; Lt. Col. 1. P. Evans,
Aliquippa, Penn., and Maj. S. M.
Friedman, San Bruno, Calif.
Third in bombing went to B-36,
from the 95th Bomb Wing at Biggs
AFB. El Paso. Its crew included
Lt. Col. A. H. Prichard, Canyon,
Tex.; Lt. Col. E. N. Yaden, Lon-
don, Ky., and Maj. K. W. Prien,
Lafayette, Ind.
The third-best navigation was
turned in by a B-36 crew from the
11th Bomb Wing, Carswell AFB,
Fort Worth. The navigator was
Capt. J. F. Powell, Cheltenham,
Penn.
3 Texons Killed,
Five Be d!y Hurt
In Highway Crash
LORDSBURG, N. M., Aug. 26 —
UP— The high-speed collision of
two automobiles on U. S. 70-80 near
here Wednesday left three Texans
dead and five others badly hurt.
Louis Bishop Boston, 19, of
Crockett; Iris Mae Busby, 17, of
Houston, and Faye Ferguson. 38,
of Stephenville were killed out-
right in the crash.
Willie Busby, 20, husband of the
dead Houston woman; H. J. Mat-
thews, 22, and his wife, Billie Jane,
20, of Houston; Jim Ellis Fergu-
son, 37, husband of the Stephen-
ville victim, and their son Phillip,
11, were seriously injured.
Police said Busby fell asleep
while drivimg 18 miles east of
Lordsburg. His uncontrolled vehi-
cle swerved into the path of Fer-
guson's approaching car.
til the plant is ready to begin manu-
facturing the building stone.
A party of officials of the com-
pany was in Sweetwater Wednes-
day afternoon to visit the new
quarters, A. C. Bishop of the Board
of City Development reported.
Among those here Were Presi-
dent Ralph Rogers and his assist-
ant, Morgan McCall, and Sales
Manager Frank Leach.
The Sweetwater plant will be
headquarters for the Texcrete Com-
pany of West Texas.
A shipment of the ten colors and
three sizes of the "Holiday Hill
Stone" to be made here has been
received already for display here.
This product scored a big hit in
the recent Dallas Home Show and
is the talk of the building trade.
Holiday Hill Stone exceeds appli-
cable specifications of the Ameri-
can Society of Testing Materials
since it is a hard and extremely
dense cast limestone, molded and
compacted under high pressure and
steam-cured. It has been approved
by F.H.A. and building and loan
associations for financing.
The new product for building
comes in a great versatility of
sizes, shapes and patterns to en-
able the architect to create the
stone effect desired.
The colors to be seen in sample
materials here at the plant and an
early display at the B.C.D. office
j include: Catalina Green, Parisian
i Rose, Bermudan Pink, Georgian
Cream, Sea Island White, Sandal-
wood, Brazilian Cinnamon, Drift-
wood, Hot Chocolate and French
Gray.
The Holiday Hill Stones for ex-
terior and interior are fresher,
gayer, more alive because of colors
and shades, according to officials
of the concern.

Rosie, a 13-year-old horse, stepped
in a hole in an alley Wednesday
while hauling a junk wagon.
Rescuers tugged and pushed for
more than an hour before Rosie's
leg was freed. The horse was un-
hurt but she appeared to be all
tired out from her ordeal. ASPCA
agent William Ryan bought a pint
of whisky. Rosie drank every drop
and stepped briskly away with her
wagon as though nothing had hap-
pened.

SPEAKER: Attorney
General John Ben
Shepperd, speaking
on "The Port Arthur
Story."
(Paid Pol. Adv.)
Editor:
Enclosed is the following letter
I have received from the Honor'
able Saw Rayburn in reply to an
ad recently published in the Sweet-
water Reporter:
Mr. Robert M. Faver
Davis Building
Sweetwater, Texas.
Dear Mr. Faver:
1 have your letter enclosing a
political advertisement headed,
"Facts About The Governor's Race
—Worthy of Your Consideration,"
marked 'political advertisement
paid for by the Nolan County Com-
mittee for Shivers,' in which my
name is mentioned in most uncom-
plimentary terms, and I might say
untruthful. It so hapens that 1 air.
not running for Governor nor for
any other office in Nolan County.
In this they say Sam Rayburn's
motto is, "To get along, you have
to go along." If this means being
a Democrat without prefixes or suf-
fixes, then that applies to me. It
says that I went along with the rec-
ognition of Red Russia. The House
of Representatives never had any-
thing to do with this because it was
I an act of the Executive Depart-
I ment. The House of Represent a-
| tives has nothing to do with the
confirmation of treaties—that is en-
tirely a function of the United
States Senate. It says that I went
along with Yalta, Teheran and
j Potsdam which is a silly statement
because that was entirely action
of the Executive Department of the
Government and not Congressional
action. I might say, however, that
Republican Candidate for Presi-
dent and Republican orators went
all over the country in the fall of
1952 and just ate up Yalta and
Potsdam and Teheran blood raw.
Since coming into power, I presume
somebody in the State Department
read the provisions of the agree-
ments at Yalta, Potsdam and Teh-
eran and understood them, and I
have heard nothing about them
since—not even a suggestion of a
change in them. The Republican
Candidate for President and other
Republican speakers went over the
country bitterly criticising the Tru-
man Aeheson Foreign Policy and
crying out for a change in it. The
facts are that since this Republi-
can Administration came into pow-
er, they have not changed the Tru-
j man-Acheson Policy except to ad-
| minister it in a sorrier fashion. 1
j am sad to say that it has been ad-
ministered in such a blundering
] way that we now have fewer
I friends in the world than we ever
| had in the history of the United
! States.
An.;.' statement that I have im-
i peded the enactment of the so-call-
j ed Tidelands Bill or opposed giv-
j ing the tidelands to Texas and
other states is a eontemptable
falsehood. Every opportunity I ev-
er had of voting on this quetsion, I
voted for giving Texas and the oth-
I er states their tidelands.
The people of the United States
j in 1952 voted for a change, and mil
lions of them got a change and got
i it with a vengeance. Three and one-
I half million:, of people are unem-
ployed, and a man who has had a
job and loses it is certainly in a
depression. This doesn't count the
other hundreds of thousands who
had their hours reduced from forty
to thirty or less with no overtime.
These thousands are certainly in a
recession.
You might as:. ;;ie farmers and
ranchmen and small businessmen
of Nolan County what their finan-
cial situation is in 1954 as eompar-
| ed in 1951 and '52. All farm income
has been reduced from 17 to 20
percent, and in many instances a
j much higher percent. Under the re-
I cently passed Eisenhower-Ezra
; Benson Farm Bill, a sliding scale
| is provided for from 90 per cent of
parity to 82'i per cent. Everybody
j that has ever studied the ques-
tion knows that when you have a
maximum and a minimum that the
minimum becomes the maximum.
Therefore, if this thing works out,
agriculture will lose 7 per cent
more of its income. I wonder if
these people are proud of the
change.
Now, as to the so-called Packing
of the Supreme Court. This meas-
ure was never voted on in the
House of Representatives, nor was
it ever reported by a committee,
and at that time the House of Rep-
resentatives was in control of the
Democrats and all of the Commit-
tees oi the House of Representa-
tives were in control of the Dem-
ocrats.
So you see, Mr. Faver, how far
from the mark this whole state-
ment is as it applies to me and
how reckless and desperate some
people will get and how much hate
they will evidence toward a man
they never saw and who never
asked them for any favors.
With best wishes and thanking
you for calling my attention to this,
1 am
Sincerely yours,
Sam Rayburn
Mr. Faver, you can use this as
you please.

fond breadth of the United States.
The Governors of the 48 states so
recognized his statesmanship and
leadership by selecting him as
chairman of their national organi-
zation.
I especially admire him for what
he has done for the public schools
of Texas. I was a sAiool man for
34 years, having retired 9 years
ago. 1 note with pride the wonder-
ful progress the schools have made
both during his administration as
governor and his long service in
the House and Senate. His record
shows that he has always been
strong for the schools and the
school children. I know that some
teachers are critical of Shivers
over some of the issues that grew
out of the bitter fight over the
teacher-salary-raise bill during the
last regular session of the legisla-
ture. He did criticize some of the
rabid leaders of the Texas State
| Teachers Association who would
not compromise for one cent less
than the salary raise demanded by
this powerful lobby.
Governor Shivers knew, and
many of the Senators and repres-
entatives who may have voted for
the full raise demanded, for politic-
al reasons, that the law would be
declared illegal because the funds
were not available with which to
pay the increased salaries. I have
never heard of his being directly
critical of the teachers or of the
school children of Texas. He real-
izes their value and will continue
to fight for their welfare.
The fact that he called a special
session of the legislature this past
Spring for the specific purpose of
giving the teachers of Texas a $402
per year raise and providing the
money to pay for it, proves that he
is for the teachers and the public-
schools.
During the administration of Mr.
Shivers as governor of Texas, state
funds for support of public schools
have been increased from $107,-
000.000 to $210.00,000 with another
lift in prospect as higher state
minimum salaries go into effect.
If Governor Shivers' opponent is
elected, I do not see how the teach-
ers can expect any financial bene-
fit. If he fulfills all the promises of
financial aid that he has purported
to have made in the various sec-
tions of Texas, it seems to me that
he would bankrupt the State.
I especially congratulate Gover-
nor Shivers for his heroic fight for
I the tidelands. Without his efforts
I the Tidelands would be gone for-
I ever Texas schools have already
received millions of dollars since
i he regained them for Texas.
If you carefully anc! sanely think
these thines over. 1 believe you will
vote for Allan Shivers on August
: 28.
Ross S. Covey
Supt. of Schools 1935-1945
Editor:
I read in Sunday's paper where
Mr Wagstaff of Abilene was carry-
ing on the lie that Mr. Shivers
! started about the CIO-PAC.
To begin with, any union mem-
iber can tell you that it is an out
| and out lie that we are required
to pay any amount into the PAC.
' Also that the membership vote on
the amount of dues we pay each
month. The set amount is between
S2 50 and $5.00. In the union I be-
long to the Oil Workers Interna-
tional Union, CIO, we pay the least
allowable amount, $2.50.
Never have we been told to pay
into the PAC or any other deal,
other than our monthly dues. I am
ashamed to say this, but only once
i have I paid into the PAC and that
1 was only SI.00
Also Mr. Wagstaff ran down the
j Oak Ridge plant men, saying they
are about to strike for more
money. Mr. Wagstafi says their
pay ranges from $1.58 to $2.40 per
hour, and if so much overtime is
made they make over $600,000 per
month. Let's do a little figuring
' Mi- Wagstaff. Take the $2.40 per
hour he makes $96 per week for 40
hours. $384.00 per month without
overtime. He would have to make
I another $216.00 per month in over-
\ time to make $600.00 per month.
As everyone that works in indus-
try knows, very few companies
give out with overtime any more.
He didn't say anything about that.
Here in Sweetwater the Shiver-
i crats tried to make us believe that
i Mr. Shivers was responsible for us
I getting this fine new underpass,
i While our own local men were
working so hard to get this project,
I didn't see anything in the paper
I about Mr. Shivers getting it for us.
Long before Mr. Shivers was
' born our forefathers saw to it that
we would have our tidelands, ^ so
Mr Shivers didn't have anything
! to get back for us. The US govern-
S ment just misplaced them for a
j while.
Maybe the big men of Texas
have gotten along fine without the
CIO. but ask the man that works
for a living what the CIO has done
for him. It is the little man that
the CIO is concerned about.
I wish to close urging all of the
working people of Texas to get out
and vote for a man that will give
the State of Texas back to us Tex-
ans. A vote for Ralph Yarborough
will do just that.
Ralph Hudgins.

LET'S TALK LIVESTOCK
Cattle Feeding May Be Heavy
In Texas In Next Few Months
FORT WORTH—Most observers
on the market at Fort Worth are
of the view that there is a strong
probability that more cattle will be
fattened in Texas during the next
six to eight months than for a com-
parable period in several years.
Many of the cattle will be grain-
feds and many others will be car-
ried on grain pastures with prob-
ably some supplemental feeding.
Already reports are coming in of
the movement of sizeable numbers
of "wheat pasture" type calves
and yearlings into the winter wheat
grazing areas of the Texas Plain
and Panhandle.
Conditions have been made quite
promising in some sections that

Reds, US Withdraw
Troops From Korea
TOKYO, Aug. 26—UP—The sec- j
cret withdrawal of large Chinese
Communist forces from North Ko-
rea made possible the withdrawal |
of four U. S. divisions from South i
Korea, an authoritative American ;
source said Wednesday.
The high American official said
most of the Chinese merely with- j
drew into Manchuria and North
China and could return quickly. I
However, both the Sou'ii Korean j
and the North Korean armies h;>ve ;
| been greatly expanded, he said.
The spokesman explained that
the U. S. Army, which will keep |
two division in Korea alongside the
British Commonwealth Division, i
I will remain in position to mov ad-:
! ditional ground forces back into Ko-
i rea if the Communists attack.
Jaycees See
A. & M, Movie
A film picturing campus life at
Texas A&M College was shown to
members of the Sweetwater Junior
Chamber of Commerce at their
j Wednesday luncheon.
At the meeting it was announced
that Morris llenshaw is new chair-
I man of the membership committee
I and he will head the sustained
j membershio and regular member-
ship drivej.
Several local Jaycees plan to at-
tend a re-activating meeting of
the Coleman club at Coleman
j Thursday night, it was reported.
! It was announced that Murray
| Forsvall, Arthur Gidden, Hez and
Bernie Hawley will be hosts at a
] Jaycee party to be held in the near
future.
Guests at the luncheon included
Horace Bartlett, Pat Crawford and
Bill Lewis.
have received heavy showers re-
cently. The shower activity has
been enough aid to breed some op-
timism. Optimism is the commod-
ity that cattlemen thrive on.
Another factor that portends big
feeding operations are the big feed
crops that are going to be made in
sections of the West Texas Plains.
In some sections conditions are re-
ported the best in years. Storage is
at a premium and there are plenty
of cattle around. Tins means lots
of cattle will likely be fed in the
Plains and Panhandle.
We are told that the "nubbin"
corn produced in many parts of
the Eastern third of Texas, will al-
so be fed to cattle. This corn was
of too poor quality to be salable,
and when ground with cob, shuck
and all and stepped up with some
protein and some urea to increase
the digestibility, it will put pounds
on cattle.
Our information is that many
f.umlots of from half a dozen t j a
couple of dozen head of cattle will
bt fed this way and some of the
larger feeders will be "in" again
this^ear.
The bankers are loosening the
purse strings on farmers in the
Corn Belt and more stackers and
feeders are moving into those
states.
Order buyers at Fort Worth say
that they have more orders for the
"good kind" than they are able to
find in the runs lateiy.
Many of these are going into Illi-
nois, Indiana and into the Western
Corn Belt. However, the demand
is spreading to the Eastern Corn
Belt Belt and over into the South
East as some relief from heat and
drouth has been reported in some
sections there.
It looks like a big year for cattle
feeding in the West. Fort Worth's
dealers and order buyers report
heavy demand continues from Ari-
zona and the West Coast.
One order buyer said, "I'd think
Arizona would be running over with
cattle. Thousands have been ship-
ped there."
The West Coast operators are
filling feeding pens and are still
taking lots of the "plainer" kinds of
stockers and feeders off the yards
at Fort Worth every week.
The feeling seems to be general
that cattle prices have been pretty
well established with the better fat
steers and heifers due to sell around
the $20 to S25 range. This more
stable situation seems to be predi-
cated on the present earning pow-
er of the consumers and the pro-
portion ot their expendable income
that will be spent on meat.
On Monday's market, prices
were strong, spots higher and calv-
es were SO cents and more higher
than last week's close.
In the hog yards, the top was
$23.50 and sows sold for $14 to
$18.50.
Sheep and lambs found the mar-
ket generally steady with choice
Spring lambs up to $19 and feeder

I realize that the Governor's race |
in Texas is a very hot issue in all f
of Texas and especially in Nolan
County. It is the right for everyone
who wishes to lake a stand, and 1
take mine for Allan Shivers and
pleased to speak out for him.
In my opinion he is the greatest
governor Texas has had in many
years. He is a real Texan and is
or Texas and its fine people, and
stands ready to speak out for them
and fight for them just as the re-
cords show he has done in the past.
He is a great statesman and is
so recognized, not only in his own
State, but throughout the length
