Segregation Up To Senate
Enactment of 8 bills designed
to preserve school segregation
is in the hands of the Senate.
Sponsors predicted an easy
majority in the upper house.
However, two South Texans
whose constituencies are al-
ready Integrated promised op-
position. Sen. Abraham Kazen
Jr. of Laredo and Sen. Henry B.
Gonzales of San Antonio indi-
cated they might try to talk the
bills to death in an end-of-ses-
sion filabuster,
Measures already given House
approval would (1) allow school
boards to assign pupils to
schools, (2) exempt children
compulsory attendance at Inte-
grated schools, (3) authorize
state to pay tuition for pupils
to segregated non-sectarian
schools where no segregated
public school is available, (4)
authorize school boards to desig-
nate schools as “White,” "Neg-
ro” or “integrated,” (5) direct
the attorney general to defend
anti-segregation suits against
the state, (6) require registra-
tion of persons paid to work for
integration, (7) prohibit public
employment of NAACP mem-
bers and (8) ban future integra-
tion without a local school dis-
trict vote.
Teacher Money Sought
Two bills aimed at gaining
their own estates without hus-
condemnation band’s consent.
A number of restrictive
amendments were put in before
passage. One would require a
woman to be 21 before assum-
ing estate management “to pre-
vent a 14-year-old girl from
getting married and throwing
away her inheritance.”

REA Compromise Okayed
A bill designed to smooth

Proposed changes in law would

You’ll be proud of Chevy’s sweet, smooth
and sassy way of going. And you’ll take
extra pride in Chevy’s look of substance
and character, its careful construction,
its fine finishing touches you don’t find
in other low-priced cars. For one thing,
the others don’t have Body by Fisher.
For another, they can’t hold a candle to
Chevy when it comes to performance.
Chevrolet, you know, won the Pure Oil

as “best performing U. S. automobile.”
Automotive experts decided that. Bet
you agree with them once you stop by

WASHINGTON —Senator
Lyndon B. Johnson’s deferred
grazing bill, a major drought
relief proposal aimed at prevent-
ing excessive grazing of drought
damaged pastures, passed the
Senate this week. A similar bill
in the House of Representatives
was modified to conform with
the Senate’s version and sent to
the^White House for President-
ial appravol.
The bill provides payments
for deferred grazing at rates
equal to the fair rental value of
the land. The payments would
apply only to native rangeland,
and the amount of payment
would be limited to $5,000 for
any individual for any year.
“Fair rental value” would be
determined on the basis of nor-
mal grazing capacity of the land
during periods of adequate pre-
cipitation.
“We were faced” Senator
Johnson said, “with the choice
of either keeping our stock off
this land or losing our soil re-
sources for decades to come.
The direct impact will be felt
in the Great Southwest, but the
benefibial effects will be shared
by the whole nation and by
generations ahead.”

Mother’s Day Custom
Telephones will be ringing all over the country Sunday,
May 12, when the annual custom of Mother’s Day Long Dis-
tance calling is observed once again.
Nowadays, it seems almost every family has at least
one “branch” separated from the rest by hundreds or even
thousands of miles. A call home on Mother’s Day is always a
special event — even though reunions by Long Distance may
be pretty frequent throughout the test of the year, too.
If you’re planning a call on Mother’s Day this year,
don’t forget the money-saving way to do it: call station-to-
station. Rates are approximately 1/3 lower than on person-to-
person calls.
And as usual — to save time, call by number. Your
Long Distance calls will go through twice as fast if you can
give the operator the out-of-town number you’re calling.
Give Her A Telephone
While I’m on the subject, I’d like to offer another
Mother’s Day suggestion.
Additional telephones make useful gifts. They’re decora-
tive, too, when you select one of the eight available colors.
An additional phone for kitchen or bedroom, or next
to the sewing table, is the kind of gift that will make sense to
a mother or grandmother. She’ll remember and appreciate it all
year long, because it will always be as useful as the day It’s
installed.
It’s easy to arrange gift service, even for someone who
lives in another city.
Just call the telephone business office. We’ll take it
from there.
Don Davis Calling
3, our telephone news reporter (he writes
leaflet that comes with your monthly telephone bill), has
ceived a number of letters telling of exciting, touching, or
humorous real-life experiences in which the telephone played
a major part.
Don is hoping to collect more stories like these. Are
there any telephone calls you’ll never forget?
If such an experience especially stands out in your mem-
ory, and you’d care to tell him about it, he’d appreciate heat-
ing from you.
Just write Don Davis, care of the telephone business
office, Jacksboro, We’ll forward your letter to him.
