Milam Rec Possibilities —
Recreation facilities, much needed in
Milam County, can result from the or-
ganizational meeting <>f some 50 Milam
fountains Monday night.
They heard a reixrrt from an Exten-
sion recreation specialist, heard how
financing and organization can he
achieved and voted for a seven-man
steering committee to pursue the sut>-
ject.
Present were representatives from
about 40 organizations of 75 contacted
in the county. Named to the steering
group were men from Rockdale, < am-
eron, Milano, Thorndale and Davilla.
Examples of the tremendous demand
for recreation in Texas included one
given by Boyd Andrews, Extension
specialist, which pointed out that lexans
now 8pend $400 million annually and
What’s New In Viet Nam
Some several coups and counter-coups
later, military strongman General Ngu-
yen Khanh is out and another military
junta heads the South Viet government.
A civilian government, talked of a
week ago, failed to materialize. And
the phantom of frustration hangs still
heavy on U.S. involvement there. The
U.S., in fact, has little time to comment
on who seems to lie running things.
More raids on North Viet Nam are
assured by the U.S., while Nanoi leader-
ship has the choice of whose aid, Rus-
sia or China’s they most want to use
with some semblence of autonomy. Near-
by example, North Korea, is all hut an
extension of Red China. And North
Viet would like to keep some control.
in the next 20 years will have more
time and money to invest in leisure
or recreation time.
He noted that 80 per cent of the
people who seek outdoor recreation want
to Ih* near water, whether or not they
actually use it for fishing, boating, wa-
ter skiing or swimming. And that
brought the group to the subject of *
lake.
The seven-man panel meets this week
to pursue the possibilities and, accord-
ing to the pattern of such building
programs, supported through F II A-
ttacked financing, a survey will be one
of the first orders of business: to see
what recreation facilities people would
want and how much.
The program has merit and could turn
a great part of rural Milam County
toward a new role in our economy.
Big nuestion for them, under any cir-
cumstances: “Can they?”
The same question of self determin-
ation repeats itself to the revolving
door of Saigon governments.
And it more appears that U.S. mil-
itary activity will increase, making lo-
cal government even more dependent
on U.S. might.
The same frustrations, the same
lack of local enthusiasm, dating from
the French involvement in that part
of the world, all but ended in 1954 at
Dien Rien Phu, is our portion of this
Asian breadbasket, Oriental “powder
keg” or what you will.
The real adversaries, West vs. China
Red, appear nearer conference table
talk than ever.

Bill Faces Test
By Vera Sanford
TEXAS Fils', Association
AUSTIN - Gov. John Connally
passed the first legislative test
of his program for improving high-
er education
House of Representatives over-
whelmingly approved the biU to
name an 18-inember commission
to decide which collages and uni-
versities shall teach what, to as-
sign fields of teaching, and tj
take over state supervision of
academic work in the 32 junior
colleges.
There were many amendments
to the bill by Reps. Dick Cory
of Victoria and Charles Wilson of
Lufkin But none diverted the bill
from its original purpose as laid
out by the Governor's Committee
on Education Beyond the High
School.
Shoals lie ahead, because some
strong senators are against such
a delegation of powers, or oppose
some phases of the bill as passed
by the House. Sen W. T. Moore
of Ilryan will handle the measure
in the Senate He expects to muvo
on it within Die next week or so
Sen. Dorsey Hardeman is oppo,
ed to some of Connally's programs
This has led to talk of pressure
tactics. Forces of Speaker Ben
Baines, who support Connally,
may hold up action on Harde-
man’s bill to transfer San Angelo
College to state-supported status
on Sept. 1.
Hardeman, long u power in the

so amended the "equal rights for
women' bill to make the measure
inapplicable to present statutes

THIS DUMMY ISASk'NC

-OLD PHILOSOPHER-
Philosopher Says He’s Puzzled By The
Drive To Get Everybody To Travel More
Dear edilar:
According to a news item I
read last night. Washington offi-
cials are suggesting we put a sort
of tariff on tourists leaving this
country every summer, in the
amount of $100 a head.
.As I understand it. American
tourists are spending over a bil-
lion dollars a year visiting abroad,
and apparently on the theory that
they're going to spend everything
they have on them, Washington
has suggested we tax them $100
just before they leave, which would
be $100 they sure wouldn’t spend
over there At least we'd keep
some of the money in this country
I don't have an opinion on this
proposal, as that's one tax that
sure wouidnt hit me, as I arn't
going
Understand, I don't quarrel with
anybody who wants to visit abroad
let him go if he wants to, but
my theory is that it’s time the
Europeans came over here and
looked at us. After all, when you
.XXIV to think of It. the land hold-
ing up Buckingham Hace in E>n
don is not one year cider than
■the land in this Johnson grass
farm 1 estimate they were con-
structed at about the same time
One is just as ancient as the
other, and both are equally favor-
able toward government support.
And while I can't imagine any
Englishman spending his money
to come over here and look at mo
and this farm, neither can I imag-
ine me going over there to look
at him and his. Of course I know
travel Is supposed to broaden a
person, enlarge his horizon, but
I have seem some Americans who
have traveled abroad and I can',
always tell that the jab was ac
cornplished.
Another purpose of tlie proposed
$100 head-tax on tourists going
abroad I understand is to er,-
coura- e more Americans to travel
in this country, but I don't know
about this Nearly every state is
now promoting itself as a tourist
attraction, and if it works, won’t
the thing balance itself out’’ If
Texas lures 100 million dollars
worth of tourist money from Louisi
ana. won't Louisiana lure the same
amount from Texas? Whos going
to come out ahead on this deal,
out de o’ filling stations? Would-
n't it be like everybody in town
try in ; to make money by taking
in each other's washing'1
tours faithfully,
