AUSTIN. Tex. — Granite in the
capitol building is more radioactive
than the dirt being used by Texas’
mushrooming “uranium dirt-sit-
ting’’ businesses. So say State
Health Department officials.
Landowners near uranium strikes
have erected benches and charge
patrons $2 to $3 an hour to sit with
their feet in the supposedly ir-
radiated dirt. Hundreds of people
seeking relief from arthritis and
other aches have patronized the
places.
After analyzing the dirt, Dr Hen-
ry Holle, health commissioner, said
that dirt-sitting does no actual harm
except that it may encourage an
ill person to delay visiting a physi-
cian.
Farm Hearing Slated
Texas farmers can have their say
on federal farm policy at United
1 States Senate committee hearing
f November 5 in Fort Worth.
John C. White, state agriculture

mittee chairman.
Drought Aid Sought
Federal disaster aid is being
sought for Texas’ drought-stricken
areas.
Governor Allan Shivers asked
President Eisenhower to designate
as disaster counties to be specified
by the USD A state drought com-
mittee.
Crop Production Falls
Texas crops are falling below es-
timatea—according to the USDA.
Although above-normal amounts
of rain fel in some areas—it did not
come where and when it was need-
ed most, said the report. Eastern
and southeastern counties, where
harvest already had begun, were
i soaked. But in the west and north-
west, dryland ootton and sorghum
fields languished.
Still to be decided upon is the-
application for more Pedernaiee
River water to irrigate U. S. Senator
Lyndon Johoaon’s GUleepie County
farm. Originally scheduled in July,
hearing before the State Board of
Water Engineers has been post-
poned three times No new date was
set last week
Downstream landowners had pro-
tested that Johnson’s water storage
already worked a hardship.
Five- Texas hospitals projects have
been approved by the state board
of health for federal aid) money.
They are the Collin County Hos-
pital at McKinley, City Hospital at
Graham, city-county health center
and Ail Saints Hospital ait Fort
Worth, and the Shelby County
Hospital at Center.
