Amendment For
Lifting Ceiling
Gets Hearing
AUSTIN, March 1 (UP) —
lackers of a program to boost
dd age pensions in Texas won
heir first floor tussle of the 52nd
i ;ession today by a six-vote mar-
lin.
Hearing on a proposed consti-
utional amendment to lift the
present $35,000,000 ceiling on
welfare grants was held yester-
day by the house committee on
constitutional amendments.
However, the committee took no
! action.
Re)). Doyle Willis of Ft. Worth
j author of the amendment, caus
j tically accused the committee of
| delaying tactics and demanded
that his measure be sent to the
house committee on agriculture,
] a group headed by Rep. Lamar
! Zivley of Temple.
Zivley has proposed an old age
pension amendment almost iden-
tical with that authored by Wil-
lis, and a favorable hearing by
his committee appeared assur
ed.
Rep. Franklin Perry of Angle-
ton, chairman of the constitu-1
tionul amendments committee,
challenged Willis.
“The agriculture committee,”
he told the house, “has been do-
ing a good job, hut it has no
more business with a constitu-
tional amendment than the con-
stitutional amendments commit-
tee has with an agricultural hill."
Willis snapped hack that,
“here’s a good time to see
whether we're going to live up
to our obligations and help the
old people.”
Rep. Anthony Fenoglio of No-
conn said the committee action
was “another attempt to push
the old folks around."
On the final vote, moving the
pension measure to the agricul-
ture committee, Willis won by a
vote of 72 to 56.
Meantime, as committee hear-
ings spotlighted legislative ac-
tivity, house and senate mem-
bers' sparred over amendments
to controversial redistricting
measures.
Important hearings were held
by committees in both chambers:
A special house committee in-
Ivestigating extravagance at
state-supported schools heard
testimony last night concerning
a $250,000 campus golf course at
North Texas State College at
Denton.
The house revenue and tax-
ation committee, consulting
means of raising $1,000,000 Men-
niall.v in new revenue, was told
that the oil industry is not
strong enough to justify the tax
load it is carrying already in
Texas.
A proposal which would re-
quire election approval by mu-
nicipal voters before a city emid
contract for a public homing
project was sent to sub-comnlt-1
tee by the the senate’s commit-
tee on state affairs.
Members of a house commitee
began hearings on a propisal
calling for reshuffling of Teras'
congressional districts.
The measure, sponsored by
Rep. W. R. Chambers of Miy,
would provide two congressmen
for Harris county, thus absorb-
ing the additional congressnan
—the 22nd—to which Texas is
entitled under tiie 1950 censis.

Weather For

By Culted Prong
March may have blown in like
lion over a large part of the
ration, but it made a meek and
mild entrance into Texas today.
There was no sign of the fierce I
-term that was whipping wind1
and heavy snow eastward across \
the United States.
Thursday in Texas was warm
and mild, following a mild Wed-
nesday. There were only two
freezing points in the state over-
night.

WASHINGTON, March 1 (UP*—Pro: ident Truman to-
day reiterated his full confidence in Defense Mohilizer
Charles E. Wilson, and told a news conference that he did j
not regard as very serious organized labor’s sharp break j
with the administration on the defense mobilization pro-
gram.
At his weekh meeting with reporters, the President
for the most part was cautious about making any specific
statement on the action of the united labor policy commit-
tee in directing the withdrawal of all labor representation
from federal defense agencies.
In response to a question, he

will go to the polls Saturday,
March 3, to vote on a proposed
$200,000 bond issue for school
improvements.
The money is needed primari-

mentary school building of the
most modern type in East Ridge-
Monticello addition to relieve
the crowded condition in east,
ward and meet the anticipated
growth of school enrollment in
lower grades within the next
few years.
Last year the school district
voted $400,000 in bonds for ad-
ditions to Junior High, John R.
Lewis elementary schools, two
rooms for Philiip Nolan ele-
mentary school and a new audit
orium - gymnasium for Booker
T. Washington Negro school.
The fund was inadequate to
proceed with building tiie new
east side elementary school but
about $120,000 of'the $400,000
remains.
Site for the new elementary
school will be between the old-
er part of the city and the new
East Ridge area and will be
large enough for another junior

Ben Thorpe
New Judge
At Snyder
AUSTIN, March 1 (UP)—Gov.
Allan Shivers today appointed
t.ie district judge and district at-
torney for the newly-created
132iid judicial district, an area
embracing Scurry and Borden
counties.
The governor named Ben F.
Thorpe as district judge, and
Robert S. Davie as district at
torney. Both are from Snyder.
The new court for Scurry and
Borden Counties, created for six
years because of the tremendous
increase in litigation in connec-
tion with the development of
the oil field, will come into Pe-
ng immediately. However, the
32nd district, Judge A. S. Mau-
zey presiding, will continue to
function including the two coun-
ties until the court is actually
set-up.
As soon as the judge and dis-
trict attorney are sworn in they
will be in office. However, Judge
Thorpe said Thursday after-
noon that he had just received
notice from the governor of his
appointment and he was not
clear at the moment what the
next step will be.
Thorpe has been county at-
torney of Scurry County for a
number of years. Davie is a well-
known Snyder attorney but has
lived there only for the past sev-
eral years.

Agent Testifies
Collazo Admitted
Being Instigator
WASHINGTON, March 1 (UP)
—Secret Service Agent Joseph J.
Ellis, Jr., testified today that.
Oscar Collazo admitted he was
“instigator” of the plan to assas-
sinate President Truman.
Ellis said the Puerto Rican
revolutionary made the admis-
sion to him during questioning
at the hospital a few hours af-
ter Collazo and his confederate
Griselio Torresola, tried to
storm Blair House last Nov. 1.
Collazo is on trial for the mur-
der of White House policeman
said he did not regard labor's
action as a very serious devel-
opment in the mobilization pro-
gram.
Asked whether he felt confi-
dent that labor by and large
would continue to meet defense
production needs, the president
said that the present emergency
program is one that will help
keep the nation prosperous and
that this prosperity affects all
groups, including labor, busi-
ness, agriculture and the white
collar workers.
“Two Weeks”
Asked whether he expected
labor representatives to return
to the mobilization agencies, he
said he would tell the report-
ers about that in a couple of
weeks.
He was asked whether this
indicated that he would sit on

WASHINGTON. March 1 —
(UP) — The railroads and 15
non - operating unions reached
agreement today on a 12 1-2 cents
per hour wage increase for L-
000.000 employes, retroactive to
Felt. 1.
The agreement als > includes
an escalator eianse for cost- of-
living increases computed quar-
terly. A spokesman estimated
the first payment, based on the
Feb. 15 index, would give em-
ployes four to five cents more
an hour.
The settlement was announced
by the White House after an all-
night negotiating session in
the office of presidential as-
sistant John R. Steelman.
Initialed by carrier and union
representatives at 6:08 a. m., the
agreement is binding on both
sides and does not require ra-
tification by union members.
The carriers estimated the
contract would cost them $280,-
000. 000 a year.
The agreemi n' effective Feb.
1, runs to Oct. 1, 1953, but ran

a pay increase of one - cent an
hour for each point advanced
above 178 in the consumer in-
dex of the bureau of labor statis-
tics. Adjustments would be
made every three months.
The non ■ operating employes
— shop and termin: 1 workers
— now averaged about $1.48 an
hour. The 12 1-2 cents hourly pay
boost would come within the 19
per cent pay increase limit of the
present wrage stabilization for-
mula.
The big four operating unions
— representing firemen, engine-
ers and yard employes — are
still locked in a wage dispute
with the carriers.
