Oh For a Political Moses
When the children of Israel were in
the bondage placed by Egypt's Pharoah,
the cties of the people, their heartaches
and long hours of slavery to enrich a peo-
ple other than their own, came up before
God and in time a deliverer named Moses
was sent. -
Moses was in every sense called of
God to do a work for the people and to
take up their cries and make them felt in
the halls of the King of Egypt,
•fMoses became forever the name
synonymous with leader.
In every age when there arose a need
for a Moses, if the people sent up their
cries to God, God sent a man.
The time always is matched by the
man in every great crisis.
History is only a record of men who
have found out which way God was go-
ing and have fallen in line.
Their trust was in God and their por-
tion was His spirit. Cromwell feasted on
the spirit of the' prophets, William the
Silent was thick with God and our nation
was founded by men who inscribed on our
very money "In God We Trust."
The times have again come when
there must be raised up a Moses.
There were those who sang the
praises of the late Franklin Roosevelt as
the leader of all the people, but if our
guess fails not, in time down the years, in
the light of what decisions are coming out
of a Supreme Court which he packed, the
South will rise up and call him the great-
est menace the southern people have ever
had. Indeed the South will likely be joined
by men from every state in the union.
And how has this creeping thing of
power-centered Washington come upon
us?
Simply because we have a host of
- power-loving, place-hunting, office-seek-
ing politicians in Washington who would
sell out the people for their own feather-
bedding and return to the gravy train in
Washington. A gravy train which is sup-
plied with the victuals for politicans who
hang about the great Pharoah of them
all, which gravy comes from tax upon tax,
and liberty after liberty being taken from
the people.
The politicians in Washington may
deny we are having a creeping form of
paralyzing influences which take from the
people their rights and privileges, but
they are either blind leading the blind or
they are members of the modern Judas
party.
The time is certainly ripe for a turn-
ing back to the old paths. The cries of
the people have gone up to high heaven
for many moons. They have followed
this voice and that voice, only; to find he
has the clothing of the sheep, but the voice
of the wolf.
These men with ulterior motives cry
peace when they know there is no peace.
They shout out for a Democracy which
does not exist in their own category of
things. They brand as traitors those who
do not wear the brass collar of their false
standard. They damn the man who dares
to call for a return for the Democracy of
Jefferson's day.
They wear the habiliments of the
Democratic Party but their voice and man-
ners are far from the true thing. We have
been forced to make brick with no straw
and the lash of the bureaurocracy is upon
our sore backs.
It takes a man of courage these days
to stand up against what is considered the
mighty. But, as true as there is a just
One, there will come the day and the man
who will rise up and in the name of the
God of Moses, Jacob and our forefathers,
smite hip and thigh this artificial giant
and the fall of the temple on such as the
pillars fall under the pressure of a Samp-
son-like stroke will destroy the leaders
and followers alike who will not repent
before the last great day of wrath comes.

$85 Million Loan
To Support 5-year
Plan Lone Star
At a closing held in Dallas, Lone
Star Gas company concluded a
loan of $85,000,000 which will be
used to retire outstanding debt and
finance a five-year expansion pro-
gram totaling $81,406,856, accord-
ing to President D. A. Hulcy.
The loan in which twelve lead-
ing financial institutions partici-
pated, was closed Friday, June 9,
in the board room of the Republic
National bank in the presence of
representatives of the lending ag-
encies and Lone Star.
Mr. Hulsey said the loan, "prob-
ably the largest single financial
transaction ever closed in Texas,"
is evidence that the strong insti-
tutions believe in the future of
Lone Star and have faith in the
vast territory which it serves in
Texas and Oklahoma.'
The $81,406,856 expansion pro-
gram, originally revealed by Mr.
Hulcy at a meeting of Lone Star
stockholders in Dallas on April 18,
will be divided as follows over the

at the week-long program during
which the boys learned the inside

ment functions.
The boys, and Miss Marilyn
Harris, Girl's State representative
from the Legion Auxiliary, were

acter, scholastic attainment and
general qualifications. There were

tribution, which includes all of
the company's distribution plants

divisions, $16,269,700; Dallas di-
vision of distribution $11,885,000
and the Fort Worth division of dis-
tribution, $7,655,776.
"Out of the proceeds'from tha
$85,000,000 loan we have retired
all pre-existing loans," Mr. Hulcy
said. "The remaining portion of
the new money plus funds gene-
rated from operations will be ap-
plied to the expansion program.
The Prudential Insurance com-
pany of America, Newark, New
Jersey, participated in the loan in
amount of $65,000,000 and the re-
maining portion of $20,000,000
divided among the following
banks: Mellon National Bank and
Trust Company of Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania; Peoples First ' Na-
tional Bank and Trust Company
of Pitsburgh, the Farmers Deposit
National Bank of Pittsburgh; the
Republic National Bank of Dallas,
the First National bank in Dallas,
Mercantile National Bank at Dal-
las, the Dallas National Bank, the
National City Bank of Dallas, the
Fort Worth National Bank, the
First National Bank of Fort Worth
and the Continental National Bank
of Fort Worth. The overall length
of the Prudential loan is twenty-
five years and the bank notes are
payable in ten years, Mr. Hulcy
said.
The expansion program calls
for construction of gathering and
transmission lines, compressor sta-
tions, exploration and the drilling
of wells, extensions and additions
to local gas distribution systems,
and many other facilities, all of
which will enable the company to
render a more complete gas serv-
ice to its 500,000 customers in
Texas and Oklahoma and meet the
requirements of the system's antic-
ipated growth. During the past
twelve months, Mr. Hulcy said,
Lone Star added more than 46,000
new customers and it is apparent
that the years immediately ahead
will witness a comparable rate
of growth.
"Lone Star Gas company is ex-
periencing the greatest period of
growth in its 41-year history," he
continued, "and we are keeping
step with this growth by making
gas available upon demand. We
have great faith in the continued
development of the territory we
serve, to the extent we are plan-
ning five years ahead to meet the
requirements of this growth. For
some of the largest financial insti-
tutions in the country to collec-
tively lend $85,000,000 to Lone
Star Gas company is evidence that
they too believe in the future of
Lone Star and the growth and de-
velopment of the area which it

Vacation Time Is
Also Time For All
To Drive Carefully
With the end of the month of
May, approximately 2,375,000
school children finished another
year of their education, and eager-
ly began the three months annual
vacation period.
Vacation to a school child can
mean many things, an all day per-
iod of play with the neighbor chil-
dren, a trip to the big city, a sum-
mer of work and play on uncle's
farm in the country, or just three
months of leisure time to do as
they please and not worrying
about the three R's.
Regardless of which path these
children follow, they will present
us with an enormous problem. The
fact that they will not be in
school will mean that our streets
and highways .will carry an addi-
tional burlen of nearly two and a
half million persons. These chil-
dren will use the streets and high-
ways more this summer than ever
before. Whether they are driving
automobiles, bicycles or other ve-
hicles, or simply using them as pe-
destrians, they will be exposed to
the ever present danger of death
or Injury by accidents of all types,
but particularly through accidents
concerning motor vehicles.
Your Texas Safety Association
wishes to remind you that each
year scores of children meet their
death under the wheels of oncom-
ing automobiles whose drivers are
negligent, many more are killed in
car wrecks of all kinds. The addi-
tion of this group of youngsters
provides an added burden to our
already crowded street and high-
way systems, and it presents us,
as adult citizens of our communi-
ties with a challenge. These
youngsters are entitled to the right
for life, liberty, the pursuit of
happiness and safety. These are
our future leaders of tomorrow
who will, if we give them the
chance, grow, learn and mature
and take their place in society.
This is our debt to them, and
by being more careful and cau-
tious as we drive this summer, we
can insure their being safely back
Greatest Fourth of all
Planned at State Fair
For June 30-July 4
The biggest July Fourth cele-
bration ever held in the Southwest
is being planned at State Fair
Park in Dallas for five nights,
June 30- July 4, James H. Stew-
art, executive vice-president and
general manager of the State Fair
of Texas, has announced.
A spectacular thrill show ol' cir-
cus acts and flashing fireworks
will be presented in the Cotton
Bowl each night of the celebration.
Sensational, death-defying aer-
ial acts, rib-tickling comedy and
soul-stirring music will be punctu-
ated by a sizzling display of the
most elaborate fireworks show ev-
er presented in the Southwest.
High-bursting sky rockets, fan-
tastic flaming sprays, paintings in
colorful fire will make audiences
gasp as the climax of the big Cot-
ton Bowl show each night.
Some of the fabulous set-pieces
will fill the stadium with more
than 10,000,000 candlepower of
light, turning night into day with
stunning brilliance.
Five of the most outstanding
acts in outdoor show business will
appear in the Cotton Bowl for the
first time.
The Three Milos, the Great Al-
bania, the Flying Otaris and the
Silver Condors are daredevils who
work high above the heads of the
amazed spectators.
The Milos work at the dizzying
height of 140 feet, using no nets
or other safety devices. The Al-
bania troupe perform death-defy-
ing stunts close to the clouds on
racing motorcycles.
Kiwanis clubs in Division 2 of
the Texas-Oklahoma district are
sponsoring the advance sale of
tickets to the Cotton Bowl show
in Dallas, Commerce, Denison, En-
nis, Greenville, McKinney, Paris,
Sherman and Garland.
Army Chief Asks
Cooperation In
Training Program
AUSTIN, Tex. — Business and
industrial employers of Texas are
being urged to allow employees
who are members of civilian com-
ponents of the Army short leaves
of absence for summer training,
according to information released
lecently by Colonel Oscar B. Ab-
bott, chief of Texas 'Military Dis-
trict.
"Last June I appealed to the
employers of Texas," Colonel Ab-
bott pointed out, "to assist in the
building of our team for national
defense by adopting liberal poli-
cies relative to granting leaves of
absence" to employee members of
the various civilian components of
the army. I heartily commend the
many of them who cooperated so
willingly and made possible the
success of summer training plans.
"Again this year I urge that al!
employers take favorable action
on requests of their employees for
military leaves' of absence in or
der to increase the strength of our
national defense and the security
of our country,'' Colonel Abbott
eddod.
' This year it is even more im-
port ant," Colonel Abbott said,
"that we place maximum empha-
sis on the training of our reserve
r.nd national guard units to aug-
ment our regular forces in the
event of national emergency.
"While it is an economy to train
reservists on a part-time basis, in-
stead cf as regulars on a full-time
basis, yet such training must at-
tain prescribed standards, and
these %olunteers must be maintain-
ed in constant readiness to accept
their responsibilities. It is also
their right to be able to be ade-
quately prepared when they are
called.
"Al members of local reserve
and national guard activities, many
Qf the employees of business and
industry have been diligently de-
voting their spare time to various
training programs, with and with-
out pay. But in order to achieve
maximum effectiveness of such
programs, short annual periods of
active training duty in corttact
with the regular forces are very
in school next fall.
Be cautious, the child's life you
save, may be your own.
Revised Manual
Military Justice
Effective In 1951
AUSTIN, Tex. — A single law
for the administration of military
justice for the nation's Armed
Forces, the first in American his-
tory, will become effective May
31, 1951, according to announce-
ment this week by Colonel Oscar
B. Abbott, chief of the Texas Mil-
itary District.
The Uniform Code, of Militury
Justice, signed by President Tru-
man May 6, will apply to the army,
navy, air force, marine corps and
coast guard. All members of re-
serve components when on active
duty ,will be subject tt> provisions
of the code.
To allow time for Indoetiina-j
tion in the military service and fori
preparation of a new court martial1
manual, effective date of the new
code was set off a year. This will
mark the second revision "of the
army manual in less than two
years ,the 1949 manual having be-
come effective this year.
When effective, the new la,w
will replace, the articles of wa,v,
under which the army and air
force court martial systems oper-
ate, the articles of government j f
the navy, which apply to both navy
and marine corps, and the discipli-
nary laws of the coa.st guard.
In singing the new act, Presi-I
dent Truman described it as "an |
outstanding example of unification!
in the armed forces," and added |
that the code is "tangible evidence |
of the achievement made possible!
by the teamwork of the army and |
navy," the air force, the marine |
corps and the coast guard."
"Under the provisions of this|
uniform' and modern code," the |
President stated, "the democratic
ideal of equality before the law is
further advanced."
"The new code is based on the
report of a committee appointed
