Political smoke continued to
make undistinguishable the figures
who will line up in the guberna-
torial sweepstake this summer.
There was one clearly dis-
tinguishable figure, and he was de-
parting from the lineup. John C.
White, 29-year-old commissioner
of agriculture, declared he would
not be a candidate for governor
and would run again for the job
he wrested from veteran J. E. Mc-
Donald four years ago.
Governor Shivers, Speaker Sen-
terfitt, and Lt. Gov. Ben Ramsey
devoted their several attentions to
legislative matters and said
nothing.
Ralph W. Yarborough, Austin
attorney, who ran against Shivers
two years ago, has stepped up his
speaking program. His case was
strengthened with White’s an-
nouncement as both men were
strong “Loyal Democrats.”
Clyde B. Kennelly, assistant at-
torney general, resigned April 1 to
devote full time to his campaign
for congressman in the 9th Dis-
trict. He is opening headquarters
in his home town of Rosenberg.
— tpa —
C. T. Johnson of Austin, candi-
date for lieutenant governor, call-
ed for a state law requiring publi-
cation of school district financial
statements.
Campaigning in South Texas, he
said the need is emphasized by the
misuses of funds charged recently
by state officials in a district in
that area. He said such a law would
also result in better service per
tax dollar expended.

A tenure of almost 30 years
service in legislative and judicial
branches is due to end next Jan-
uary when presiding Judge Harry
N. Graves of the Court of Criminal
Appeals steps down from the
bench.
A general scramble for this high
judicial post is indicated.
District Judge Alan B. Haley of
Wichita Falls announced his can-
didacy early in the year
Two Dallas men also are avowed
candidates. They are Louis W.
Woolsley, assistant district at-
torney, and W. C. Graves, a mem-
ber of the State Board of Educa-
tion, but not related to the retir-
ing judge.
Lloyd Davidson, court commis-
sioner, has said that he would seek
the office if Judge Graves declined
to run again.
The prospective vacancy directs
attention to a proposal of the State
Bar to combine the Court of
Criminal Appeals with the Su-
preme Court. Texas and one other
state have two courts of last re-
sort for civil and criminal cases.
