AUSTIN, Tex.—A record-mak-
ing special session of the Legis-
lature was rapidly winding up
business this week with various
types of knots tied on the gover-
nor’s “package program” deadlined
for April 13.
Teachers seemed assured of their
long-sought pay raise of approxi-
mately $400 per year, state em-
ployes were due to get about $120
more, a $10 million building pro-
gram for four state institutions
was slated, and Communists faced
darker days.
— tpa —
Governor Allan Shivers had call-
ed the two pay issues the main un-
finished business of his adminis-
tration.
His floor leader in the House,
Representative Joe Kilgore of Mc-
Allen, had obtained a smashing
110 to 34 victory for a $26 mil-
lion-plus tax plan to pay the salary
increases.
An increase in t.hp production tax
on natural gas for $14 million will
be the largest part of the load. A
higher franchise tax on corpora-
tions is expected to yield about $9
million, and an additional levy on
beer another $3 million. Included
in the bill was an amendment tax-
ing trading stamps estimated to
raise $4 million.
It had been expected that the
■® Senate would approve the tax plan
without much debate since that
body had already voted for the
items calling for more taxes as
desired by Shivers.
^ - '-r'a —
Speaker Reuben Senterfitt, who
opposes new taxes and has differ-
ed with Governor Shivers on the
best way to raise teacher pay, voted
against the Kilgore tax proposal.
But he helped to suspend the rules
for quick final passage of the
bill.
Kilgore commended the “presid-
ing officer’s fair and impartial
manner.”
— tpa —
A new gas gathering levy, in-
stead of the production tax, was
before the Senate after House pass-
age as a substitute for the law de-
“ dared unconstitutional by the U.S.
Supreme Court.
Due to the uncertainty of the
proposal in court actions, Repre-
sentative George T. Hinson offered
* a token tax bill aimed at pipeline
9 companies in order to test the
legality of such a law.
If courts held the tax to be valid,
the rate could be boosted to re-
place the production tax on pro-
ducers and royalty owners.
— tpa —
Legislators went speedily and
grimly about the business of set-
ting up stern penalties for Com-
munist Party membership and
other subversive groups or acts.
They had reduced various pro-
posals to provide for fines up to
* $20,000 and 20 years in prison for
"" membership in the party
Prohibited by the bill would be
any- act intended to overthrow, de-
stroy or alter the constitutional
form of government by force or
* violence or a conspiracy with that
* purpose.
Aiding, contributing to and be-
longing to an organization with
that objective also would be pro-
hibited.
County and district attorneys
would be authorized to take the
necessary legal steps rather than
the attorney general.
Although the bill provides for
search warrants to be issued on af-
fidavit of two citizens to seize cer-
tain records, Senator Rogers Kel-
ly, the sponsor, said the provisions
adequately safeguard the rights of
individuals.
— tpa —
For all of the grimness with
which the Legislature tackled the
problems posed by the State In-
dustrial Commission and submitted
by Gov. Shivers, there were comic
sidelights.
„ A resolution by Rep. Jack Fisk
* of Wharton proposing to invite
Sen. Joe McCarthy of Wisconsin
to speak before the House on com-
munism provoked an uproar.
Rep. C. E. Hughes of Sherman
suggested that McCarthy be asked
to speak on “political influence in
the Army” rather than “com-
munism," and Rep R. W. Baker of
Houston said, “Let’s lay McCarthy
on the table, subject to call of the
Army.”

University of Texas students
were agitated by the invitation
to Sen. McCarthy to deliver a San
-Jacinto Day speech in Hour-ton on
1 April 21.
More than a thousand students
met and started petitions of pro-

C. S. Dove Ot
Van Vleck In
Sheriffs Race
C. S. (Preacher) Dove, owner of
the Dove Packing Company at Van
Vleck, has authorized the Beacon
to announce his candidacy for the
office of sheriff.
Dove, former pastor ,-f the rr'—-
pie Baptist Church at Bay City,
was born in Dublin, Texas and at-
tended Howard Payne po’F <re.
has been a resident of Matagor3;
County for the past eight years.
He is married and has a son, two
and a half years old and one
daughter, 17 years of age.
In announcing his candidacy for
sheriff of Matagorda County. Dove
stated, “I do so without making
any promises feeling that the de-
cisions must be made as the oc-
casion arises. This is my first
venture into politics but my work
with the people and with young
people especially has given me an
insight into problems which I am
sure are akin to those of a law en-
forcement officer.
“If elected I intend to sell my
business to my brother and give
the office of sheriff all of my
time. I shall give full cooperation
to the commissioners whom the
people have duly elected. And re-
gardless of color, race or creed I
shall deal fairly with everyone.”
Dove states he will appreciate
any support toward his candidacy.
Second Phase Of
Rat War Slated
Tp Start Monday
Matagorda County year-long war
against rats will be launched again
on April 12. Dr. Russell S. Butaud,
director of the Matagorda County
Health unit said the project, which
is to be carried out at 90 days in-
tervals is the joint effort of the
Matagorda County Health Unit and
the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Ser-
vices.
Homeowners, farmers and ranch-
ers and other Matagorda County
residents may join in the anti-
rodent campaign without personal
cost to them. Funds already have
been appropriated to purchase the
necessary supplies of Warfarin rat
poison and it will be put out free
of charge to those requesting it he
said. Contact the Matagorda Coun-
ty Health Unit in the Lewis Build-
ing or telephone 8421. And con-
tacting the City Hall in Palacios.
Dr. Butaud stressed the im-
portance of the rodent campaign
pointing out that rats are known
carriers of dread diseases, plus
the fact that they cause untold
economic losses each year by de-
stroying grain and other food
stuff.

Sidney C. Wilkes of 311 Rorem
appeared before the council asking
their help in his garbage problem.
Wikes told the council that he was
unable to carry his garbage to the
alley way behind his home because
of ill health. Wilkes was assured
by Mayor Charles Luther that the
pick up men would come inside his
back yard if a gate was construct-
ed in the hack fence. He also asked
that something be done to stop
garbage blowing from the pick up
trucks in his area. He suggested
a covering of some type. No action
was taken.
Mayor Luther read a petition
signed by residents in the Ritchie
Avenue, Highway 35 area on Second
Street, requesting street lights in
the mentioned area. Mayor Luther
assigned Councilman Harold Bell
and Guy Claybourn to a committee
to determine the cost of this pro-
ject as well as studying the in-
stallation of lights around the
schools.

Jno. D. Bowden Elected Mayor
In Record Turn-Oul At Polls Tuesday
Jno. D. Bowden, the people’s
choice, was victorious at the polls
Tuesday as he defeated Mayor
Charles Luther for this city’s
highest political post.
Bowden, a druggest by trade,
won with a landslide as he polled
424 votes out of a possible 743
which were cast when the City Hall
polls closed at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
Mayor Luther received 275 votes
in the first defense of his office he
took un-opposed in 1952. That year
Mayor J. L. Koerber did not run.
In one of the hottest and most
interesting races in the history of
Palacios, Eli Mayfield, whose name
was put on the ticket by Council-
man Guy Claybourn, was elected
the position of City Attorney by
more than a four to one majority.
Attorney Mayfield defeated the
honorable Judge W. C. Gray who
had held the post since 1938 when
he defeated D. S. Prinzing by 72
votes, according to records at City
Hall. Prinzing had beaten Gray in
1936 by only three votes, 279 to
276.
Councilman Claybourn failed in
his attempt for reelection when he
was beaten by E. A. Barrett and
Homer Aparicio. P. R. Trc-acy, the
other retiring councilman, did not
seek reelection. Barrett received
280 votes and Aparicio, 278. Clay-
bourn was third with 233 and was
followed by A. M. Rowton with 218;
L. A. House, 161; and Charles H.
Simpson, 140. Councilmen Barrett
and Aparicio will take their seats
on the council along with Council-
men Harold Bell, Ward Cook and
Karl Wickham, Armando Espinosa
received one write-in vote.
In the tighest race of the day,
Justice of the Peace G. R. Halliday
nosed out his two opponents, J. L.
Deutsch and C. W. Milam for the
office of City Recorder. Halliday
polled 254 votes and was followed
by former mayor, Deutsch with
237. Milam received 224 votes in
his first attempt to regain the of-
fice he was elected to in 1952.
City Marshal J. N. “Buster”
White piled up an early lead and
was never behind as he received
fine support from the public by
polling 520 votes as compared to
208 for H. L. Adams, his only
opponent. Irvin Petersen was
awarded one write-in vote.
Unopposed candidates, City
Secretary Besse F. Belknap and
City Treasurer M. T. Brooking
were reelected. Miss Belknap polled
714 votes and Brooking, 715. Harold
Bell was a write-in candidate for
the treasurer post as he received
one vote.
Early returns at 7 p.m. were re-
leased by Presiding Judge Mrs. G.
G. Hope. They gave Bowden an 86
vote lead over Mayor Luther, a
lead he never gave up as the 8:30
p.m. release registered him in the
lead by 100 votes, 287 to 187.
Haynes picked up only two votes
from 7 to 8:30 p.m. and only seven
more by 11:15 p.m. when the final
count was given by Judge Hope. A
large crowd of around 150 people
waited in front of the poorly light-
ed City Hall. “The reason we were
so late totaling the final returns
was because of the large number
of candidates in the race,” Mrs.
Hope stated Wednesday.
By the 7 p.m. release, it was evi-
dent that Mayfield and White
would be elected. Mayfield had a
three to one lead as did Officer
White.
In his first statement to the
press Wednesday afternoon, Mayor-
Elect Bowden stated he will co-
operate with all concerned to help
the town in an effort to lure in-
dustry. “I will cooperate with the
Chamber of Commerce, church or
any other organization regardless
of race, creed or religion,” he con-
tinued.
Other chief aims are to extend
water mains to take care of fires
and maintain the streets, shell or
pave. When asked if he planned to
carry on the present administra-
tion’s plans for more paving, Bow-
den, stated, “as far as possible.”
We plan to put in sewer lines, wa-
ter mains, lights and gas in sections
of the city that continue to grow
and as well as maintain the pres-
ent hospital facilities, he said.
Retiring Mayor Luther said he
had, “no comment”, on the outcome
of the Tuesday election.

SCOOP
By VERNON L. DAVIS
GRASSY POINT
COUNTY FAIR ASSOCIATION ELECTS OFFICERS,
ESTABLISHES RULES FOR THIS YEAR’S SHOW
The Matagorda County Fair and
Livestock Show Association, in its
annual meeting held on March 30,
established future show policies
and selected its officers for the
next year of operation. The meet-
ing was held following a barbecue
given to express appreciation to
those who supported the show this
past year. Supporters invited to
the occasion were sale buyers and
major contributors to the show’s
building fund.
One of the principal actions
taken by the organization concern-
ed a clarification of the rule con-
cerning the eligibility of Junior
Entrants. The rule now reads as
follows—“Junior Entrants: a Jun-
ior Entrant must bo a member of
an organized 4-H Club or FFA
Chapter of Matagorda County,
must be a resident of Matagorda
County and or the Palacios School
District, must own his exhibit in
dividually the specified length of
time required in each of the classes,
and must have fed his exhibit un-
der the supervision of the county
agricultural agents or the high
school vocational agricultural
teachers.” Junior exhibitors are the
only ones eligible to compete in
classes which are subject to the sale.
Other rule changes accepted
were: calf starting weight certi-
ficates to be turned in to the Live-
stock Show Superintendent by Oct.
15, 1954, following the Sept. 1-30
starting period. (2) The Brahman
and Brahman Crossbred Calf Class,
class 9, entries must have one-
quarter or more of Brahman an-
cestry. Formally, the percentage
of Brahman ancestry was unspeci -
fied. (3) Class 10, the other calf
class, has been changed to read:
“Entries having European Breed
ancestry only (i.e., Herefords,
Angus, Shorthorn, Charolaise, or
mixture thereof) will be judged in
this class.”
Mr. T. J. Poole, Jr. was selected
to continue serving as president of
the organization. F. G. Cobb and
L. M. Slone were re-elected to serve
as Vice-President and Treasurer.
Frank Lewis was appointed for
a five year term to the managing
board of five directors. Mr. Lewis
will fill the vacancy created by the
resignation of E. L. McDonald. Be-
sides Mr. Lewis and the above
named officers, G. W. Townsend
is the other member of the five
man board.
Two new members were appoint-
ed to the executive committee of
the organization. They were B. E.
Fields and L. B. Luder. Others
members of this part of the or-
ganization are J. D. Tabb, Fian-
cis Savage, M. S. Holsworth Row-
land Rugeley, Charles Cobb, B. J.
Wesselman, Daniel Corneous, E.
L. McDonald, Tom Matthews, C. C.
Mehrens, Stanley Kubela and
Hugh Buffaloe.

If you want to try a few tongue
twisters in telling about your
catch, try these. Scientifically a
drum is “POGONIAS CROMIS”;
redfish, “SCIAENNOPS OCEL-
LATUS”; sand trout, “CYNOS-
SCION N O T H U S”; pompano.
“TRACHINOTUS CAROLINUS”;
and if you want to flounder your-
self telling about the flounder you
got, here it is, “PARALICHTHYS

stick to the easy names.
The bait shrimpers are looking
for bait shrimp to show up in the

from the Oil Wells Sunday. Jack-
fish resemble pompano in shape
and color. They are ordinarily
found around jetties and in the
gulf. The food value is just fair,
so after taking pictures the fish
was thrown back into the bay for
