AUSTIN, Tex.—Good news from
Gov. Allan Shivers.
Texas' Governor reports that
the State will begin the new bien-
nium with a $50,000,000 surplus.
He also advised the Texas Re-
search League, to whom he made
the announcement, that under the
same general budget now in use, a
tax bill might be avoided by the
upcoming legislature.
Four future needs were listed by
the retiring governor, for the
Legislature's consideration.
1. Full-time paid parole super-
visors.
2. Authority to back up respon-
sibilities placed on the governor.
3. A b o 1 i t i o a of earmarked
special funds.
4. A building for housing state
archives.
Austin's biggest spotlight will,
of course, be turned on the Capi-
tol building come January. Arrival
<af a new Legislature will quicken
'the tempo of the city. Large turn-
< overs in the summer primaries
■mean a horde of newcomers to both
houses.
'Crusade For Archives
Legislators likely will hear many
pleas for a "permanent and proper
home" for Texas archives.
Group after group has joined the
crusade to pi'otect the state's his-
torical documents. Their theme: a
remote Quonsct hut is not fitting
place to house the original Texas
Declaration of Independence and
William B. Travis' famous "vic-
tory or death" letter 'from the
Alamo.
Besides being unhandy and un-
suitable, say the crusaders, the
hut is unsafe. It's the same build-
ing where Highway Department
record's burned two years ago. It's
leaky, and some water already has
seeped in and damaged some docu-
ments.
Texas State Historical Founda-
tion is taking the lead in rallying
its 1,400 members and other tra-
dition-minded groups to seek legis-
lative action.
"Water Money Sought
Texas Resources Committee is
working against time to have a
statewide water conservation pro-
—-gr^wi ready for the next Legisla-
ture.
Already approved by the com-
mittee is a proposed $10,000,000
appropriation to buy storage space
in federal reservoirs.
Three other proposals are being
re-written and will be taken up at
a December meeting. They are (1)
an anti-polution bill to deal with
contamination of underground wa-
ter supples, (2) a constitutional
amendment to set up a $100,000,-
■000 bond fund to finance local con-
servation project® and (3) an en-
abling bill to finance the bond
revenue.
Also still being considered is a
three-cent property tax with pro-
ceeds marked for water conserva-
tion. Some observers have suggest-
ed that several plans operating all
at once will be needed to finance
the kind o'f water program Texas
needs. Texas League of Municipali-
ties is backing a $300,000,000 pro-
gram.
Sam Houston Shrine
Another request of the Legisla-
ture, this one from Huntsville,
•will be laid' before both houses in
Austin, come January. Asked for
will be $82,000 to add three new
wings to the Sam Houston Me-
morial Museum, plus a $3,000 ap-
proporation increase for mainte-
nance.
Gas Pricing Formula
Atty. Gen. John Ben Shepperd
has filed a "friend of the court"
brief in the case of Panhandle
Eastern Pipeline Co. vs. The City
of Detroit. He wants the U. S.
SupreiVie Court to review a decision
by the court of appeals for the
District o'f Columbia.
Shepperd's complaint is that the
appeals court decision compels the
FPC to use a gas pricing formula

Alcoa's Net Sales,
Operating Revenue
Reach Record Levei
Net sales and operating reve-
nues of Aluminum Company of
America reached record levels dur-
ing the first nine months of 1956,
but net income dropped below that
for the corresponding period last
year.
President I. JW. Wilson told
stockholders that net sales and
operating revenues totaled $652,-
243,482 as of September 30, in con-
trast to $631,660,368 in 1955. Net
income for the same period
amounted to $67,159,532 as com
pared to $68,280,384 for a like
period last year.
Earnings per share of common
stock were $3.18, compared with
$3.26 in 1955. The number of com-
mon shares rose to 20,536,015, up
from 20,346,715 in September of
last year.
Mr. IWilson said third quarter
earnings were affected adversely
by a nine-day strike during Au-
gust at 12 operating locations, and
by substantial added expenses in-
volved in restoring the facilities
to full production.
county extension service news
(that penalizes small producers.
"The Federal Government should
not have the power to fix Texas
natural gas prices," Shepperd con-
tended, ''but if they assert that
powef, then the FPC should deter
mine local prices on a local basis."
Christmas Is White Hope
Despite a steady four-months
sales decline, Texas merchants still
think Christmas will cure the
year's average.
Opinion surveys by the Univer-
sity of Texas Bureau of Business
Research show that "typical mer-
chants are confident that holiday
business will surpass 1955 and that
satisfactory volume can be ex-
pected weli into 1957."
Latest figures pointed the other
way. September sales were down
12 percent from a year ago, and the
year as a whole was 6 per cent
under 1955. Slipping significant-
ly from last year were: Automo-
biles, 28 per cent; Food Stores, 18
per cent; Furniture, 13 per cent;
Building Materials, 13 per cent.
Bureau explanation in a nutshell:
People bought so heavily in '55,
they're having to use '56 inqjpme
to pay off the installments.
Farmers At Work
Widespread rains, though gen-
erally light, put fanners to work
day and night. It was a chance to
get winter crops in before the soil
dried out again. But it wasn't soon
enough, say agriculture experts, to
prevent a hard winter for live-
stock owners.
"It's pretty late in the year for
enough winter grazing to be pro-
duced. . . herds will require heavy
supplemental feeding," said a
spokesman 'for the Texas Agricul-
tural Extension Service. "But with
additional moisture, farmers and
ranchers can begin their 'come-
back' next spring and summer."
Short Snorts
Frank A Driskill is the new ad-
ministrative assistant to Land
Comrnr. Earl Rudder. Driskill, a
Crockett businessman, succeeds
Douglas 'Weitzcl who went to
Longview as an investigator in the
d'istriofc attorney's office. . . Six
major air-samplirife stations will
operate in Texas after the first of
the year, reports the State De-
partment of Health. Sites will be
Dallas, Houston, Corpus Christi,
San Antonio, El Paso and Point
O'Connor on the Gulf Coast. Air
will be tested for sources and types
of contamination. . .
State assistance for Austin city
finances was suggested by a Tra-
vis County grand jury last week.
It noted that the city furnishes
police and fire protection and other
governmental services to state in-
stitutions and buildings—all ex-
cept 'from city taxes. . . . Texas
contributions of $5,000 have been
sent to Europe to help feed refu-
gees in Hungary, according to
John Gillies, Texas Director of the
Christian Rural Overseas Program.
Request has gone to Washing-
ton 'for approval of 1957 cotton
acreage allotments, the Texas
Agricultural Stabilization and Con-
servation Committee has announc-
ed. Figures were not released.
West Texas cotton farmers say
they will be unable to repay their
obligations and make a normal in-
come unless their acreage quotas
are increased. . .
Lawrence E. Ledbetter, superin-
tendent of the Capitol building and
grounds, has retired after 38 years
of state service. He was among 17
long-time employees of the Board
of Control to retire at the same
time. A new policy of that depart-
ment makes retirement compul-
sory at the age-of 72. Those leaving
ranged in age from'70 to 82.
Grain Sorghum Hybrids
Grain sorghum hybrids produced
10 to 25 percent more grain per
acre than pure varieties in 155
filed demonstration in '56 from the
Lower Rio Grande Valley to the
Panhandle. The 'farmer demonstra-
tors cooperated with the Texas
Agricultural Extension Service and
Texas Agricultural Exepriment
Station to obtain information on
the performance of grain sorghum
hybrids under a wide range of
growing conditions and how the
grain combines.
Twenty-five thousands pounds of
seed were furnished for the demon-
strations by certified seed growers
from their crossing blocks of 1955.
United Fund Drive
At Alcoa Plant Tops
Last Year's Record
Early tabulations from the Al-
coa Employees' United Fund drive
indicate that this year's contribu-
tions at the Point Com'fort Plant
have already topped last year's
final figure, it was announced
Wednesday by |W, H. Stanley and
W. E. Goza, co-chairmen of the
drivfe.
The one week drive ended Fri-
day, November 2, but pledge cards
from workers who were on vaca
tion or on shifts that worked only
part of the week continued to
swell the total amount, tabulated
at over $11,000 on Wednesday
morning. The 1956 drive netted $9,-
970 which was distributed to 40
agencies in eight counties where
Alcoa employees live.
The drive was the second one
sponsored by Alcoa employees as
their own United Fund drive. The
eight agencies chosen by the em-
ployees to receive funds from the
drive are American Cancer Society,
American Heart Association,
American Red Cross, American
Tuberculosis Foundation, Boy
Scouts, Girl Scout, March of Dimes,
Salvation Army. The payroll de-
duction plan has been the most
popular way of giving with 94 per-
cent of all those contributing using
this plan. Under the plan each em-
ployees' contribution will be de-
ducted on a monthly basis and
payments will be made to county
agencies on a quarterly basis in
one payment from the fund set up
for this purpose.
A final tabulation will be made
on Friday and the total figure for
the 1957 drive will be announced
at this time.

Oil Industry Presents
Programs At Local
School, For Lions
Oil and gasoline make your
automobile go. But, these two pro-
ducts also have a barrel and a
suitcase full of other uses.
Ample evidence of this was given
Tuesday (November 6) when two
oil industry representatives from
Houston spoke before the Palacios
Junior and Senior High Schools
and the Palacios Lions Club.
In a program headlined as the
"Magic Barrel" and the "Magic
Suitcase," Miss Janet Curtin and
John Skelton, representing the Oil
Industry Information Committee,
outlined some of the latest develop-
ments in petrochemical products,
or products made from oil.
Out of her "Magic Suitcase,"
Miss Curtin demonstrated oil-de.
rived products, such as the miracle
fibres dynel, acrilan, dacron, orlon
and nylon.
Discussing the "interesting"
things which can be done with the
fibres as a result of extensive and
continuing research within the oil
industry, Miss Curtin demonstrat-
ed the "selective dyeing" process
with white acetate, silk and cot-
ton cloth. She dyed the white cloth
red, white and blue from the same
dye bath.
Among products "packed" into
the suitcase were light weight jars
and containers, jewelry, cosmetics,
sun tan lotions, examples of re-
frigerator surfaces which no longer
crack at each blow and which may
be cleaned "without breaking your
back."
With the "Magic Barrel," Skel-
ton illustrated a number of simple
laboratory tests, including the
making of synthetic rubber.
"Some 2,300 products have been
developed from crude oil and na-
tural gas," Skelton said, >land more
will be with over 42,000 separate
oil companies competing for your
business."
He endorsed the free enterprise
system and said "our economic
progress is a direct result of the
American way of life."
Miss Curtin and Skelton are
among 30,000 volunteer workers in
the oil industry's public relations
program.
Local Palacios OIIC official is
J. H. Shearer, chairman.
Shearer, Palacios chairman, said
the "Magic Barrel" and the "Magic
Suitcase" programs are available
locally without charge to any social
or civic club, or school. He said
the programs can be given sepa-
rately, or in combination. For
more information, contact Shearer
at 6431, Palacios.
Seed of sorghum hybrids were
developed and released by the Tex-
as Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion in 1954 for increased produc
tion in 1955.
"Two types of demonstrations
were conducted. The "package
type" included packets of seed of
several different hybridb and pure
varieties which county agents dis-
tributed to "farmers. Both hybrids
and pure varieties were grown un-
der the same conditions and har-
vested by hand to compare yields."
The second type, field demon-
strations, was conducted on larger
acreages under farmer's growing
conditions and the grain was com-
bined.
In general, Texas 610 appeared
to have the widest range of adapta-
tion. However where soil moisture
conditions were favorable at har-
vest several farmers reported Tex-
as 610 was slower in drying than
Martin, the most widely planted
variety in Texas. In most demon-
strations farmers reported also
that Texas 610 was as satisfactory
as Martin for combining. In Cen-
tral Texas, demonstration hybrids
outyielded pure varieties. Texas
660 was definitely the best per-
former.
Soil moisture conditions were
poor in most of the McLennan
county demonstrations, and for
the state as a whole hybrids gave
a better comparative performance
under inadequate soil moisture
conditions than pure varieties.
In an irrigatea demonstration
in Central Texas Walter Manske
of McGregor, harvested 1,480
pounds of Texas 610 an acre com-
pared with 990 pounds of Martin.
Manske commented that Texas 610
was more difficult to combine than
Martin as the moisture content
was higher at the time of combin-
ing. Also 610 had a chaff disagree-
able to the combine operator. He
was the only farmer who reported
this.
All hybrids were considered
early—time from planting date to
blooming state compared with late
varieties such as Plainsman and
Cap-roclc which requires 70-days or
more. It is well to point out that
under extreme drouth conditions
mid-season maturing type hybrids
such as Texas 650 in several fields
produced less grain than an early
variety such as .Combine 7078.
Tests also show that Texas 650
and Texas 660 performed better
under irrigated conditions than on
dryland, as compared to other hy-
brids.
A Williamson - county farmer,
Raymond Maize'r, harvested 35 per-
cent more grain an acre from Tex-
as 610 than Martin, 1,687 pound3
compared with 1,098 pounds.
Higher yields from Texas 620
were made than from pure varie-
ties under the same conditions, and
it was as easy to combine as any
variety. However, indications were
that Texas 620 may lodge or fall
worse than other hybrids, especial-
ly where soil moisture conditions j
are favorable for early growth but
unfavorable when the grain reaches
maturity.

IT'S THE LAW . . .
Ernest Money
Contract Not
A Casual Matter
The signing of a contract of sale
is an extremely important step in
the purchase of a home. Once
buyer and seller have signed, they
are bound by the provisions of the
contract. Their respective legal
rights in the transaction are there-
by set and determined. If the con-
tract is poorly and haphazardly
drawn, a harvest o'f regret may be
reaped at a later date.
Sales contracts are often called
by other names, such as earnest
money contracts, binders, receipts,
etc. All of them are for the same
purpose and almost without ex-
ception involved the deposit of mon-
ey by the buyer. Some require the
seller to put up a good faith de-
posit. The fact that such deposited
sums are usually to be forfeited
in event the depositor later fails
to go through with his specified
contractual obligations lends ad-
ditional weight to the often stated
admonition that no contract should
be signed without complete under-
standing as to its terms.„
But many home purchasers (and
sellers) rush to sign a hastily pre-
pared contract with very little
knowledge of its contents. The
pressure of time, the informality
of the occasion, the casual appear-
ance of the contract, and perhaps
the fact that a partially printed
form is used may contribute in
causing the true importance of the
act to be overlooked. At any rate,
many are lulled into a lapse o'f
good business judgment.
Every significant detail of the
bargain should be crystallized in
unmistakable terms in the con-
tract of sale. Land and fixtures be-
ing sold should be clearly describ-
ed. A complete description of the
property by lot and block, or by
metes and bounds, is a must, the
street number being inadequate by
itself.
Articles and fixtures included in
the sale but not always sold with
houses generally should be speci-
fically Hinted. Included in this
category are such items as Vene-
tian blinds, removable floor cover-
ings, draperies, air conditioning
units and others. In purchasing
property under construction, com-
plete plans and specifications form
an essential part of the agree-
ment.
The price to be paid must, of
course, be specified, along with
method and terms of payment. If
a certain sized loan is a prere-
quisite to the buyer's ability to
complete the purchase, this fact
should be noted. Sad indeed is the
prospective purchaser who loses
his earnest money when a contem-
plated loan transaction falls
through, his contract requiring
payment of the entire considera-
tion is cash.
The sales contract should also
state the quality o'f the title to be
conveyed to the buyer and the
type of title evidence to be fur-
nished.
The buyer's individual circum-
stances and desires may require
that various matters not mention-
ed above be provided for in the
contract. All too often people try
to squeeze a sale contract to fit
the type of printed form on hand,
omitting or leaving to easily mis-
construed or forgotten oral agree-
ment many vital provisions. Do
not fall into the "pitfall of the
printed form." Too many unfor-
tunate entanglements have been
announced by clients to lawyers
with the words, "I have just sign-
ed a receipt for a house on Blank
Street. Will you take over now and
see that everything is O. K.?"
