Republicans of Texas, who must
hold a primary election in 1954 for
the first time in 20 years, are ex-
pected to cross-file conservative
Democrats where they are avail-
able.
Cross-filing means the listing of
a candidate’s name .under both the
Democratic and Republican columns
on the ballot.
Carlos Watson of Brownsville,
attorney for the Republican State
Executive Committee, told a meet-
ing of that group that the party
must hold a primary next year be-
cause their candidate for governor
polled more than 200,000 votes in

votes on the Republican ticket and

Laws "with teeth in them” to
prevent Communistic influence of
Texas labor unions will be drawn
up by a legal advisory committee of
three.
That was the outcome of the
Texas Industrial Commission’s in-
vestigation into communistic as-
pects of three national labor unions
trying to enter the state.
Committee members are Martin
Harris, Austin attorney named by
Everett L. Looney, president of the
state bar; L. N. D. Wells Jr. of Dal-
las, named by the Texas Federation
of Labor; and Attorney General
John Ben Shepperd.
Following its hearing, the com-
mission issued a statement that the
attempt of three unions under com-
munist influence or domination
shows a “dear and present danger”
to Texas.
Present laws of the state, the
commission found, are inadequate
to cope with the infiltration of sub-
versive elements.
Specifically under study were the
Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers,
the International Fur and Leather
Workers, and the Distributive,
Processing, and Office Workers of
America.
Members of the commission were
Chairman C. E. Fulgham of Lub-
bock, Walter Buckner of San Mar-
cos, 'L. E. Page of Carthage, E. G.
Rodman; Sr. of Odessa and William
J. Harris of Dallas.

Anything wrong in advertising
spectacles for sale?
Yes, says the State Board of Ex-
aminers in Optometry. The board
plans to limit such advertising to
the listing of the names and ad-
dresses of optometry shops.
No, said the Legislature, which
at its last session refused to pass
a bill limiting optometry advertis-
ing.
No, says Representative Paul I.
Hill of Smith County, who says that
a lawsuit will probably result if
the board’s ruling goes into effect.
Hill says that as a member of the
Legislature he voted against the
measure because “it was an at-
tempt to stifle legitimate business.”
Some other opinions: State Sena-
tor Warren McDonald of Tyler
“can’t see any harm in advertising
glasses.” Representative Bill Wood
of Smith and Gregg Counties thinks
the attorney general should be ask-
ed for an opinion and the optometry
board should be guided by it.

Chairman E. H. Thornton of the
Texas Highway Commission re-
stated an old state problem at a
convention of the County Judges
and Commissioners Association in
Dallas.
More roads are a primary need,
said Thornton, and that means
more money. The chairman added:
“We must have an increase in in.
come at the state level if the people
of Texas are to continue to enjoy
an adequate system of roads.”

same meeting, suggested a solu-
tion: That the entire collection of
federal gasoline taxes be turned
over to the states to finance local
road building.
That would suit Texas. We pay
the federal government a lot more
in gasoline taxes than we get back
ir. terms of federal aid for roads.
