Mercedes, Texas, Thursday, August 28, 1963
Whenever the opportunity
arises, I am continuing to
1 push for expansion of the
specialized agriculture wea-
ther service program al-
ready going on in Cameron,
Hidalgo, Starr, and Willacy
Counties, and which I dis-
cussed in one of these letters
a few weeks ago. Recently
I have been urging the ex-
tension of the program to
the Laredo Wintergarden-
Eagle Pass and Medina Val-
ley areas.
The specialized weather
service has proved its great
value in regions where large
acreages of weather-sensi-
tive crops are grown. The
program includes daily agri-
cultural weather forecasts,
a daily farm weather sum-
mary, spraying and dusting
weather forecasts, and agri-
cultural interpretations of
the 5-day and the 30-day
Dutlooks. The service provi-
des valuable guidance to
farm-business interests.
The Chief of the Weather
Bureau has assured me that
the Bureau’s plans include
extension of the service into
other South Texas areas “as
soon as funds and manpow-
er become available.”
Man has not yet found a
way to control the weather—
which may be just as well in
view of the somewhat less
than perfect way we have
handled things under our
can do is to endeavor to
make the best possible use
of weather information
available.
Research into weather
trend and into the causes of
different kinds of weather
has paid off and may be ex-
pected to continue to payoff.
And there are other ways in
which South Texas may hope
to benefit from the current
emphasis on research by!
both industry and govern-
ment.
Research and development
have become magic words in
recent years. Perhpas they]
have been over-emphasized,
but there is no question that
R & D projects, as they are
customarily called, can pro-
vide solutions for many of
our problems, economic and
social.
The National Industrial
Conference Board, a non-
profit agency that studies
economic and business sub-
jects, reported recently that
about two per cent of the en-
tire working population of
the U.S. and about one-third
of the nation’s scientists and
engineers are engaged in re-
search and development.
The amount of money
spent for industrial re-
search has multiplied 100
times over the last40years.
Total research and develop-
ment spending, including
government - financed pro-
jects, has reached a rate of
more than $17 billion a year.
Research by private indus-
try accounts for about three-
fourths of all resources in-
vested in the R&D field.
* * • *
The president of the or-
ganization that made this
study commented, “There
is good reason to believe
that spending for research
and development has out-
paced public and even pro-
fessional understanding of
its implications for the
American economy.”
Increased public under-
standing of these implica-
It’s the Law
Texas
By far the most vital
people In our system of
justice are witnesses. Ev-
eryone else in a trial exists
to hear what they have to say.
Our courts need wit-
nesses. A jury to find the
facts. The Judge to apply
the law. The lawyer to tell
his client’s story.
Chances are you worry
about stepping up, taking an
oath, and telling yo story
in court.
On some rare ou isions
you could be called upon to]
testify about something af-
fecting your own standing in
the community.
As a witness you too may
have the right for example,
not to testify against your-
self in somebody else’s law-
suit or crime trial.
If you are ever in such
a bind, consult a lawyer of
your own choice on what to
•do. The lawyer who called
you to testify has a sworn
duty to protect his client
not you. But your lawyer is
sworn to keep what you tell
him secret and to advise
you in your own interests
within the law.
Wise lawyers tell their
tions is needed. Except for
increase in human and capi-
tal resources, economic
growth results from gains
in productivity. These gains
are often linked to technolo-
gical change, and much of
the change—probably most
of its—originates in organ-
ized research.
Continuing and intensified
research into currently un-
used potentialities of the
whole South Texas area is
urgently needed. Our section
pf Texas has capacities for
economic growth beyond
anything that it has ever
experienced in the pa6t. Re-
search and development of
the right kind can help great-
ly to bring about that growth
and in so doing make living
better for all South Texas.
witnesses to obey twelve
rules:
1. Go to the place ( say,
the scene of an accident).
Check your memory before
you go to court. People forget
and get caught up on details.
But If you check what you
saw and heard you are on
solid ground.
2. Visit a court. Hear how
other witnesses testify. It
will help you see your role
on the witness stand.
3. Wear clean, conserva-
tive clothes.
4. Don’t memorize your
story word for word. That is
the surest way to sound bad.
But think of what you saw
and heard.
5. Listen to the questions
you are asked with care and
answer thoughtfully.
. 6. Give a simple, direct
answer in your own words.
Don’t be rushed.
7. If you err-and people
often do—correct yourself
at once. If you can’t remem-
ber some detail, say so.
Don’t bluff.
8. Tell the truth. Don’t
figure which side you may
help. Don’t identify yourself
with either side.
9. Stop when the judge
breaks in, and don’t try to
sneak an answer in before
he can stop you. What you
might say could end in a
“mistrial.”
10. Keep cool and don’t
sass back.
11. If they ask you: Cer-
tainly, you have talked to
other people — the lawyer,
for' example; and yes, you
may be reimbursed for cer-
tain of your expenses incur-
red in attending the trial.
12. Remember, without
witnesses our law would fall
to do justice. If you are call-
ed, be a good witness.
(This newsfeature, pre-

Texas, is written to inform—
not to advise. No person
should ever apply or Inter-

of an attorney who is fully
advised conerning the facts
involved, because a slight
variance in facts may change
the application of the law.)
