International boundary discus-
sion at the current Geneva Con-
ference may dim Texas’ hopes in
the tidelands struggle, Atty. Gen.
Will Wilson noted in a recent
speech.
Russia wants national boundar-
ies to be 12 miles out from UnH
Wilson related, and the D. S. says
3 miles out Texas, in a case to be
heard by the U. S. Supreme Court
Oct 13, will be trying to protect
its long-standing claim to lQt&
miles.
But said Wilson, “the United
States can’t plug for a 3-mile in-
ternational boundary and turn
around and give Texas 10 miles." *
If the 3-mile boundary sticks, he
said, Texas will then ask for ofl,
rights to the 10-mile limit
Why It Casta More
| Wrap-around windshields and |
! loads of chrome inevitably mean
; higher rates for automobile insur-
jj ance
A special legislative committee
investigating auto coverage rates
was told by State Insurance Dept
officials that costs of both materi-
als and labor have gone up. New
rates, to be set next summer,
probably will have to be higher,
■ they said.
In add.tion to the staggering tab
for fixing the modern-day palace-
on-wheels, if it gets smashed, high
accident records boost insurance
| rates in a locality.
. For instance, said a department
official. Dallas’ accident rate is
only 60 per cent as high as Hous-
• touchy
tence of "small,
tracts" that might be
into other districts to
all coats.
Growing government and climb-
ing taxes make a chilly atmas-
pbere in which to invite near In-
dustries.
This view from present Texas
industrialists was presented at a
recent bearing of the Texas In-
dustrial Commission. Recently re-
activated, the Industrial Com-
mission is charged with finding
ways to attract more industry to
Texas.
Jim Yancey, spokesman for the
Texas Manufacturers Asm. told
the Commission that good labor
management laws and some res-
traint on government costs are
needed. "Texas is fast losing its
favorable position in comparison
with other states in the area,” be
said.
Commission members noted
there had been some “misunder-

they emphasized, is to help, not
compete with, such groups.
Bate Battle
An Amarillo insurance firm has
advanced one step in its battle to
block enforcement at new. lower
credit insurance rates.
An Austin district court granted
the request of Cosmos Life Co. for
a temporary injunction. State
Board of Insurance had ordered a
slash of about 50 per cent in rates
for insurance issued on the lives
of persons getting small loans.
Attorney general’s department,
which recommended the change,
said old rates were excessively
high Companies contend the new
ones are ruinously low.
Court’s injunction affects only
Cosmos. Others, unless they join
in the suit, must abide by the new
rates. Until the case is finally de-
cided, Cosmos must put in trust
money equal to the difference be-
tween the old and new rates.
Bail Law Voided
A law passed last year to regu-
late bail bondsmen has been de-
clared unconstitutional by the
Texas Supreme Court.
If effective, the law would have
required bondsmen, unless they
were attorneys, to be licensed. One
section applied only in counties of
more than 350,000 population,
another in counties of from 73,000
to 100,000 population.
High court pointed out that the
constitution prohibits such narrow
restrictions on laws of a general
nature. Dallas legislators, who
sponsored the bill last session, are

Senate general investigating
committee has tentatively set its
next hearing for mid-May. Topic
is still hush-hush, though it has
been revealed it does not concern
insurance. Investigation has cen-
tered in the Houston area. . Amid
predictions that the recession has
“flattened out,” Texas unemploy-
ment totals' seemed to be leveling
off. Latest official report showed
number claiming unemployment
benefits down from 93,289 to 92,-
596. A state holiday closing TEC
offices for one day might have
effected the drop.

Any business, whether manufacturing or
service, must protect its buildings and
stock from loss by fire. Southwestern’s forest busi-
ness is no different in this respect than any other
business. Its stock of goods are the trees of all
sizes and species growing in the forest.
The small seedlings and saplings are as important
to Southwestern as are the larger trees from which
pulpwood, poles, and sawlogs are now being pro-
duced. The future of Southwestern depends on
them. Any forest management program that South-
western carries on in the woods is meaningless if
the protection from forest fires is not taken into
_______
account
To protect its forest inventory from forest fires,
Southwestern cooperates actively with the Texas
Forest Service. It contributes funds directly to die
State for this purpose that go to pay for Fire Pre-
vention activities and forest fighting equipment and
manpower. This equipment is used to suppress
forest fires on any and all forest land in those
counties in which the Company owns forest land.
In addition to this direct payment to the state
for forest fire protection, the company has acquired
additional forest fire fighting equipment and trained
men to supplement or help the Texas Forest Service
during times when forest fire occurrence is likely
tote high.
The result of such cooperation, is the protection
of the forest resources in die Southeast Texas
region, upon which many people and industries
depend’for their livelihood.
