Thursday, June 23, 1955
By VERN SANFORD
Texas Press Association
AUSTIN, Tex.—A luncheon that
didn't happen in the Governor's
Mansion on Monday had statewide
repercussions. It could affect the
fate of Texas' Democratic dele-
gates at the presidential conven-
tion next summer.
Democratic National Chairman
Paul Butler completed a six-day
speaking tour of Texas at Hous-
ton. It was billed as an effort to
restore harmony between the liber-
al and conservative Texas Demo-
crats.
Mrs. Hilda Weinert of Seguin,
loyalist national corn mitt ecwomun,
joined in inviting Butler to Texas.
But she boycotted his numerous
banquet meetings because, she
said, the loyalist Democratic Ad-
visory Council's chairman, Judge
Jim Sewell of Corsicana, took,
over, and froze out contacts with
the conservatives.
Gov. Allan Shivers invited Chair-
man Butler to a luncheon with
state officials at the Mansion, to
be held June 20. Butler replied that
his schedule was "too tight" but
he'd be glad to see Governor
Shivers in any city where he was
billed to appear.
That angered liberalist John
McKclvey of Electra, who had ar-
ranged the reconciliation confer-
ence of Shivers and Butler in
Washington in May, He resigned
from the Democratic Advisory
Council.
Austin politicians were studying
the effect of Butler's speaking
tour. Some of them thought there
had been considerable "double
talk," as Butler's statements could
be interpreted to suit any view.
At Waco late last week, Butler
abandoned the "open door" theme
of trying to lure back Democrats
who had voted Republican in 1952.
He invited the Democratic Advi-
sory Council, his host on the tour,
to "organize" the 6,000 Texas pre-
cincts with loyal leaders, for next
year's showdown.
A significant feature of But-
ler's tour was that four prospective
candidates for governor on the
liberal ticket basked in the photog-
rapher's flash-bulb limelight.
At Dallas, Supreme Court As-
sociate Justice Will Wilson appear,
ed in his former home city as mas-
ter of ceremonies at the Butler
rally of over 1,000 liberalists.
John C. White, commissioner of
Agriculture, satrat the head table.
Ralph Yarborough of Austin,
strongly rumored as ready for a
third try as the governor candi-
date of the liberals, started out
with Butler at Lubbock and show-
ed up at nearly all his meetings.
And Senator Jimmy Phillips of
Angleton showed up at a Waco
rally for Butler.
Present also were several other
Senators who aren't prospective
candidates for governor—and half
a dozen House members.
Butler's Houstqn appearance was
before the state convention of the
Young Democratic Clubs. Virtual-
ly all the potential candidates for
governor on the liberal ticket
.showed up there too. White de-

Land Office Flaws
A 95-page audit documenting
investigations of irregularities in
the Veterans Land Board has been
released by State Auditor C. H.
Cavness.
Cavness emphasized throughout
his report the need for additional
field supervisors and investiga-
tors. . . who can check continual-
ly to prevent irregularities in the
$100,000,000 loan program.
The audit covered the period
from September 1, 1951 to January
4, 1955 (the last day Bascom Giles
was commissioner of the General
Land Office and chairman of the
Veterans Land Board).
After winding up its sixth week
of investigation before Justice of
the Peace Travis Blakeslee in Aus-
tin, the fourt of inquiry into over-
all opei'ations of the General Land
Office moved to Corpus Christi.
Twenty land office geophysical
inspectors stationed in Corpus
Christi will be questioned there
this week.
Rains Boost Crops
Unusually favorable moisture
conditions throughout Texas have
brightened the crop outlook con-
siderably, says the U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
Feed crops have made good de-
velopment, according to USDA re-
ports. Corn prospects are especial-
ly promising. Cotton prospects are
"very promising".
Rains in scattered areas of cen-
tral, eastern and northern Texas
interrupted the harvesting of com-
mercial vegetables, tomatoes in
Central Texas and onions in North
Texas.
Crops larger than last year are
predicted for cantaloups, onions,
potatoes and watermelons.
