NEW METHOD OFFERS HOPE
FOR BUILDING CHEAP ROADS
There’s been a recent scientific
development which may have a
far-reaching effect on the old-age
problem of completing a statewide
system of lateral roads, needed to
provide dependable transportation
routes to every farm and ranch.
Last week the Air Force and
the Navy both announced success-
ful use of new chemicals on
dirt and sand, to make landing
strips quickly for aircraft, and for
providing hard surfaces on beaches
in landing operations. In these
tests the soils were treated with
chemicals which made them water-
repellant, and at the same time
bound the particles into a hard,
strong mass. The treatment has
remained effective on test installa-
tions for several months.
It appears that a similar treat-
ment for dirt roads for civilian use
offers the possibility of making
all-weather roads at a great sav-
ing in time and expense, especial-
ly on these roads which carry a
comparatively light traffic load.
Those new chemicals are derived
from natural gas or petroleum,
thus offering the prospect of a
new use for these Texas resources,
which could further stimulate the
growing chemical industry of this
state.

ECONOMY COMMISSION IS
ORGANIZED FOR WORK
A citizens’ committee to study
ways of increasing efficiency and

branch of the state government,
was activated last week by Gov
ernor Allan Shivers.
Some 550 persons from all parts
of Texas were named by the gov-
HERLIN, GERMANY — These eight members of the East German
Peoples Police from the Soviet Zone are shown after they were arrested
in U. S. Sector for carrying weapons, including machine pistols, in
violation of the Allied Agreements. They will come up for trial before
a U. S. Military Court. The U. S. Prosecutor said he will make the case
“an indictment” of Russian and’German Red policies. He will attempt
to prove that the youths are “not police but soldiers who get infantry
[training with weapons outlawed by four-power agreement.’”'
THOUSANDS OF WET-BACKS
SENT BACK TO MEXICO
EDINBURG—Several thousand
“wet-backs,” Mexicans who have
entered the U. S. illegally, have
been rounded - up and sent back
across the Rio Grande by border
patrolmen during recent weeks.
The recent drive marks the first all-
out effort by immigration officials
to rid the Valley of aliens. They
were returned to Mexico because
under the present agreement be-
tween that country and the U. S.,
workers are permitted to enter this
country only under contracts which
guarantee them prevailing wages
and fair working conditions.
ernor as members of the commit-
tee, with 41 of them designated to
serve on a steering committee. It
was to this smaller group that
Governor Shivers last week out-
lined his suggestions regarding a
study of the cost of state govern-
ment.
He expressed the opinion that
ways can be found to reduce state
operating costs by $5 million per
year, but he pointed out that this
represents only about one per cent
of the state’s total expenditures.
COURT HOLDS NEGROES
MUST BE REPRESENTED
ON GRAND JURIES
A Texas Negro won a reversal
in the US Supreme Court last
week on his appeal from a con
viction for murder, because there
were no Negroes on the grand
jury which indicted him.
For the past several years it
has become the practice in many
fun. in HENRY I. TAYLOR.

Why just listen to reasons ?
COME SEE FOR YOURSELF!
rpms time we’d like to tell you about
1 something that you cannot see m this
picture—something, in fact, you cannot
know about from looking at someone
else in a passing Buick—or from viewing
a Buick on our showroom floor.
It’s the feel you get from a Buick in
motion.
You arc going to find out that it is some-
thing like traveling on your own private,
jet-propelled cloud-only firmer.
Maybe you know a stretch of wash-
board road! where you have to slow
down, or bounce and jitter.
Try that in a Buick and see how you
keep a level, comfortable boulevard
smoothness.
Maybe you're always on edge to dodge
dips and chuckholes. Those also lose
most of their jolt when you’re at the
wheel of a Buick-or in the rear seat.
In a few simple words-the ride of any
Buick—Special, Super or Roadmaster
— is out of this world.
We could give you a lot of reasons.
Soft coil springs on all four wheels, for
example-the firm linkage of the torque-
tube drive—the distribution of weight—
big soft tires on wide rims —the way
Buick engines are mounted.
Even Dynaflow Drive*—always silk-
smooth and free of geared-drive harsh-
ness-plays its part in the marvelous
Buick ride.
But why simply listen to reasons?
Experience is still the best teacher.
Come see for yourself why the Buick
ride is called “matchless”-and how
little it costs to replace a jitterbuggy with
one of these level-striding honeys.

Texas counties for Negroes to be
included in petit jury panels, but
in most Texas counties it is a
rare occurrence for a Negro to be
included on the grand jury. As a
result of this case, it now ap-
pears that if indictments are to be
sustained by the courts, Negro®
must be included in grand juries.
An interesting sidelight of this
decision was that a Dallas woman
lawyer announced that she would
file an appeal on behalf of Sandra
Peterson, recently convicted of
murder in Brady, because no wom-
an served on the grand jury that
indicted her, or on the petit jury
that convicted her.
Last November Texas voters re-
jected an amendment to the state
constitution which would have
made women eligible for jury ser
vice.
ARE TEXAS SHRIMPERS
‘OUT OF BOUNDS’?
Five Texas shrimp boat oper-
ators are in trouble in Mexico,
where they are accused of fishing
inside Mexican territorial waters.
They have appealed to the U. S.
State Department to help them
fight the charges, on the grounds
that they were outside the 3-mile
limit recognized by the U. S. as
its own international boundary.
The odd part of this is that this
is one of the very points at issue
between the State of Texas and
the federal government in the
“Tidelands case.” Texas says that
under Spanish and Mexican law
it held sovereignty over an area
extending IOV2 miles from the
coast line when it won its inde-
pendence from Mexico.
To be consistent it seems the
state of Texas ought to tell its
shrimp fishermen to pay their
fines and come home, and quit
arguing about a 3-mile limit.
CHANGES PROPOSED IN
CRIMINAL PROCEDURES
Texas lawyers, especially those
concerned with criminal jurisprud-
ence, have been moving slowly
toward reforms in court procedure
in this state. Most laymen and
many lawyers feel that our pres-
ent laws give criminals too many
loopholes for escaping their just
punishment. For several months a
committee appointed by the late
Governor Jester has been receiving
suggestions for needed reforms.
This committee, made up of
lawyers, judges and members of
the Legislature, met last week
to reach some decisions as to what
changes in the criminal law they
will recommend to the 52nd Leg-
islature.
Twenty proposals were approved
by the committee and some 30
others were rejected.
Many of the proposals recom-
mended have to do with simplifying
the selection of juries, how juries
shall be called and permitting a
majority of a jury to render a ver-
dict when one or more members
become incapacitated during a trial.
Another proposal would permit
several persons to be tried at once,
when indicted for the same crime,
rather than requiring separate
trials for each defendant.

TWO MORE CANDIDATES
ENTER STATE RACES
Fagan Dickson of San Antonio
made his long-expected announce-
ment last week that he will be
a candidate for associate justice
of the state Supreme Court, for
the place now held by Judge R. H.
Harvey, who has also announced
as a candidate for his first elec-
tive term. Dickson was a member
of the Attorney General’s staff
under Gerald Mass, Grovers Sell-
ers. and Price Daniel.
Jim Griffin of Mission formally
declared his intentions of running
for state Commissioner of Agri-
culture. He was a candidate two
years ago, losing by a narrow
margin to the incumbent J. E. Mc-
Donald, who will again be a candi-
date this year.
