Cong. Kazen Comments Cancer
On Redistricting Plan Dnve
Congressan Abraham "Chick”
Kazen outlined the status of the
redistricting problem to a group
of supporters here Saturday in
a meeting held at the Cuero
Federal Savings and Loan As-
sociation.
As far as the upcoming elec-
tions are concerned, there will
be no change in the present dis-
tricts, he added.
If the redistricting plan pro-
posed by three federal judges
is put into effect, it will be
disastrous, not only to DeWitt
County but the entire state,
Kazen said.
Under their plan, part of De-
Witt County would be put in a
district with Bexar County,
Karnes City and Kenedy would
be placed in separate districts,
and Gonzales would be in one
district and Gonzales County in
another. These are just a few
of the more glaring faults with
the plan.
Texas stands to lose 180 years
of seniority in Congress if the
prof>osed redistricting is upheld,
Kazen said.
For the first time in a num-
ber of years. Kazen has an or>-
pntient, Frank Boone of Pawnee.
Kazen asked his supi<orters for
advice on how to handle this
opposition since he is so busy
with important legislation in
Congress.
Since he cannot be in both
places at one time, he person-
ally feels that his presence in
Washington is far more impor-
tant than campaigning in his
district. However, with opposi-
tion he certainly doesn’t want
the people to get the impression
that he is so confident over the
outcome of the election that he
won t bother to campaign.
opponent.
Campaign Chairman, E. T.
Summers Jr. told Kazen that he
would keep in close touch with
the people in DeWitt County and
he would advise him from time
to time.
Kazen commented about the
full disclosure act that means
every candidate must limit his
campaign expenses' to J50.000.
He reminded his supporters that

be here in person he will try to
conduct a vigorous campaign
through the newspapers.
The Nixon Administration is
withholding a great deal of
funds for worthy projects, such
as public housing, water and
sewer systems for rural areas,
Kazen pointed out. One of the
reasons for this is to get Con-
gress to approve his revenue-
sharing plan with the stales.
DeWitt County Judgp George
Trowel! [sainted out that funds
would be available for worthy
projects once a sound program
is presented to the government.
He noted briefly that he was
concerned about flip federal
judges’’ ruling on ad valorem
taxes for the sup[x>rt of schools.
He definitely is in favor of
keeping th<- control of schools
in the hands of local authorities.
The many problems of the
present postal system were dis-
cussed. However, Kazen remind-
ed his suporters that this mat-
ter was out of the hands of (Con-
gress since the [>ost office was
being run by a private corpora-
tion. He agreed that some of the
problems are very serious, and
he believes that postage rates
will continue to soar and the
service will get worse.
Planned
The DeWitt County Cancer
Society met at the Cuero Com-
munity Hospital with Mrs. O.
E. Hall Jr., president, presid-
ing. Plans for the annual fund
drive were top on the agenda. I
It was announced that during j

tage of thp mobile unit of the

end busing, it was learned to-
day. Instead, he probably will
ask Congress for a moratorium
on new court-ordered busing,
and propose legislation to en-
sure quality education for every
school child.
The cabinet-level committee
which Nixon asked for a policy
recommendation on the forced
busing issue was expected to
offer its advice soon, possibly
this week. Nixon called the pan-
el to the White House today

Rabies Vaccination
Drive Is Scheduled
An anti-rabies vaccination
drive is scheduled for March 6
thru 11th, Monday thru Satur-
day morning in Cuero, Burgess
E. Davis Jr., sanitation inspec-
tor with the Cuero-DeWitt Coun-
ty Health Department, announc-
ed today.
The drive will be conducted
at the following places through-
out DeWitt County during the
monthes of Maiph;
—Yoakum — Saturday, March
11, 1 to 5 p.m., City Warehouse.
—Yorktown — Friday, March
10, 1 to 5 p.m., City Hall.
—Nordheim — Friday, March
17, 1 to 5 p.m., Fire Station.
—Meyersville — Friday,
March U, 7:30 to 9:30 a.m.,
School
—Westhoff — Saturday, March,
10, 1:30 to 3:00 p.m., American^
Legion Hall.
The fee has been reduced
from $3.00 to $2.00 by the local
veterinarians to encourage par-
ticipation in the program.
No new cases of rabies have
been reported in DeWitt County
although there have been four
confirmed cases in the county
since 1966. W# have a great
number of dogs running loose
that have not received an anti-
rabies vaccination Davis said.
This would be a very bad thing
if we were to have a rabies out-
break in our area. The major
problem is that rabies is a virus
ending in sure death of human
beings, as well as, valuable
animals. Rabies may be trans-
mittee to considerable numbers
at wild animals and livestock
before it ever shows up. This is
a community effort to try to
prevent a rabies outbreak in
our county, Davis said.

Health Department urges all
people to nlease take your pets
and animals in tor the anti-
rabies vaccination in your area.
Help ajvt make our county a
better felace to live.
clear: Nixon will not choose the
Constitutional amendment route.
Not only have the committee
members — former Attorney
General John N. Mitchell; Elliot
L. Richardson, Secretary of
Health, Education and Welfare;
and Budget Director George P.
Shultz — publicly opposed that
route, but the amendment idea
still lacks the two-thirds sup-
port it would need to clear the
House and Senate.
The cabinet committee plans
to recommend, and Nixon likely
will request that legislation be
offered to attack the problem
by eliminating educational ine-
quities which have prompted
courts to order black children
and whites bused to other
schools.
In the meantime, it would pro-
pose a moratorium on new bus-
ing decrees from the courts.
By itself, the moratorium idea
likely would be defeated in the
Senate, where a strong antibus-
ing proposal offered by Sen.
Robert P. Griffin, R-Mich., died
last week. When tied to an edu-
cation-improvement proposal, it
might win strong election year
support, especially since it

By PHIL NEWSOM
UPI Foreign News Analyst
As the United States’ princi-
pal ally in the Pacific, Japan
has tried loyally to follow close-
ly the sudden turns in U.S. po-
licy that have occurred in the
last year.
It is no secret that U.S. sec-
recy in advance of these moves
not only has irked the Japan-
ese but has led to considerable
confusion within the Japanese
leadership beginning with Pre-
mier Eisaku Sato.
So, it appears the Japanese
were not wholly prepared for
the results of the Nixon-Chou
En-lai Peking talks, just as
they were not prepared for the
Nixon decision to visit China in
the first place nor for the deci-
sion to devalue the dollar.
Typical of the confusion fol-
lowing these moves was that
which followed Sato's first ap-
pearance in the Japanese diet
parliament after the conclusion
of the Peking meeting.
Attempts to Clarify
Attempting to clarify his gov-
ernment’s China policy, he noted
that the People’s Republic of
China has replaced Nationalist
China as a member of the Unit-
ed Nations.
"Based on this situation we
can say Taiwan (Pormoaa) is
part of the People’s Republic of
China,” he said. "It is a natural
assertion that the Chinese main-
land and Taiwan are insepara-
ble and it is not a question a
third country argues."
In Japan it continues to be a
matter of debate whether Sato
meant simply that Taiwan is a
part of China (th<. current U.S.
attitude) anti therefore a mat-
ter to be settled between Peking
and Taipei or whether he was
reversing previous Japanese po-
licy and giving Formosa to the
Communists.
Of the two possibilities, the
former seems the most likely.
In any event it appears the
Japanese did not expect U.S.
acceptance of the Chinese five
principles of co-existence and
did not expect the final com-
munique to go as far as it did
toward reduction of U.S. forces

Sixty-eight per cent of
Northern whites and 74 per cent
of Southern whites ate opposed
to compulsory busing, News-

wore too few blacks surveyed
to provide a reliable statistical
sampling.
Of all persons opposed to
busing, "fully three-fifths . . .

The poll indicated that 20 per
cent of those sampled favored
busing and 11 per rent had no

The poll found that 21 per

with school desegregation and

Multiple Testing of Patients Criticized

NEW YORK (UPI) - A reac-

Dr. Martin Rubin was speak-
