Intellectual Opportunity
Additional opportunities for study for the
academically gifted students was proposed by Gil-
bert Conoley, county school superintendent, in a
program at the Rotary Club this past week.
The program would be conducted during the
summer months and a target date has been set for
June 1961. As proposed, the courses would be
offered in Taylor and Georgetown. These locations
would be centrally located for students in eastern
and western sections of the county.
Courses offered would be on a broader basis
than those available during the school year. In
other words, it would not be more of the same.
One criticism that has been voiced about
modern education, and this does not necessarily
apply in Williamson, is that standards have been
eased. Courses have been geared in a “lowest
common denominator” basis, according to these
critics. The gifted student has often been overlooked
or ignored with the result he becomes bored or
indifferent and loses interest.
We don’t believe any generality can apply to
modern education. Further, it is obvious that educa-
tors are thinking in terms of offering added oppor-
tunities for advanced study for our gifted students.
These courses would not carry academic credit
and students taking part would pay tuition to cover
teaching and other costs.
The entire program is commendable and de-
serves the fullest support. A gifted student often
has an insatiable appetite for learning. A summer
study course would help greatly in filling out the
development of our students. It should be encour-
aged.
Recognition for Mother
Mother’s Day won national recognition on
May 8,: 1914 when President Wilson signed a joint
resolution recommending the observance of this
special day. The same day 46 years later we are
carrying out the tenants of this resolution.
Anne Jarvis of Philadelphia is credited with
founding Mother’s Day and we are indebted to her
for the inception of a day that we believe has
nationwide acceptance among us all as a truly
fitting occasion.
A fitting and sentimental event for us all, it
is a day in which we can join with an equal sense
of appreciation.

* The Washington Merry-Go-Round *
By DREW PEARSON
IT OCCURS TO ME *
FRIENDLINESS OF TAYLOR
EMPHASIZED IN ESSAY
By LIN MILLS
Taylor Press News Editor
WASHINGTON — A few days
before his 84th birthday, Sen.
Jim Murray of Montana, his
shoulders stooped and his walk-
slowed to a shuffle, reluctantly
agreed to give up the Senate seat
he had held for 26 years. -
But to those who persuaded him
to retire, the old warhorse snort-
ed: “If I don't like my success-
or, I’ll be back six years from
now running for the job again.”
Murray’s departure will mark
the passing of an era. He is the
last of the senators who pioneer-
ed the social reforms of the
Roosevelt New Deal.
For a quarter of a century, Mur-
ray, a millionaire, has battled for
the underdog. He worked for So-
cial Security, public housing, pub-
lic power, fair employment stand-
ards, health insurance. And 'he
battled right up to the present.
During the civil rights debate, he
slept in his office and shuffled
into the Senate chamber for quo-
rum calls while younger senators
were still in their beds.
When Congressman Leroy An-
derson of Montana made Murray’s
age an issue in the Montana Dem-
ocratic primary, the 84-year-old
senator showed that he had an-
swered six times more quorum
calls thaii the congressman.
Born in Canada and brought to
this country by a rich uncle, Jim
Murray still likes to recall his
days at New York University at
the turn of the century when he
toured night clubs with “Diamond
Jim” Brady and had a crush on
Lillian Russell.
It was back in 1906 that Mur-
ray broke into politics as county
attorney for Silver Bow County,
Montana. He climbed the politi-
cal ladder until he was elected
to the Senate in 1934—the second
year of the New Deal. Quickly
he established himself as a fight-
ing liberal, and when his retire-
ment was announced, he was
leading the Senate fight for fed-
eral funds to build more schools
and raise teachers’ salaries. A
stanch Catholic, he stood for sep-
aration of church and state. He
was also continuing a long, bitter
struggle with the American Medi-
cal Ass’n. for government health
insurance to pay medical bills.
But Murray is most proud of
the Full Employment Act which
he pushed through Congress in
1946 and which pundit Walter,
Lippman described as the most
important legislation in 50 years.
No wonder when Murray’s re-
tirement was announced it brought
three hours of eulogies from both
Democratic and Republican sen-
ators. The old man sat through
the speeches, his head bowed,
his eyes misty.
Rewarding Ex-Nazis
Here’s another chapter to that
State Department attempt to slip
an Austrian war-crimes treaty
through the Senate to benefit
chiefly two ex-Nazis to the tune
of $5,150,000.
When members of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee read
this column’s disclosure of a Jus-
tice Department memo opposing
the treaty, Chairman Bill Ful-
bright of Arkansas summoned
Alien Property spokesmen from
the Justice Department. He start-
ed the new hearings by announce-
ing that he had obtained for the
Foreign Relations Committee “on
a classified basis the confidential
memorandum referred to by col-
umnist Drew Pearson in a column
published on April 12.”
He demanded of both State De-
partment and Alien Property wit-
nesses whether the proposed Aus-
trian treaty would override the
“National Interest” provision of
the Trading With the Enemy Act,
which forbids returning war-seized
property to former enemies and
Nazi collaborators.
Legal adviser John Raymond,
speaking for the Satte Depart-
ment, professed not to know. But
Paul Myron, deputy director of
Alien Property, estimated that all
but two of the 97 cases covered
in the treaty would be affected
“in some degree” by the National
Interest provision.
The bulk of the property which
the treaty would return to Aus-
trian nationals would go to Os-
kar Teuber and Countess Mari-
anne Thun-Hohenstein, who be-
tween them would collect $5,150,-
000 of the $6,000,000 at issue.
Myron testified that Teuber join-
ed the Nazi party in 1938. Though
in 1932 he had been declared
mentally incompetent by an Am-
erican court, a subsequent compe-
tency hearing found him mentally
responsible after 1934.
Myron also contradicted earlier
testimony that the countess had
a Nazi card taken out for her to
protect her from being sent to a
forced labor camp. He declared
that the Alien Property office was
satisfied that both Count and
Countess Thun-Hohenstein ‘ ‘were
part of the Nazi ideology.”
Chairman Fullbright criticized
the State Department for taking
cases out of the Alien Property
office and putting them in a
treaty.
“I’m not disposed to take these
matters out of the hands of regu-
larly constituted agencies without
reason,” he said.
In closing the hearing, he re-
marked again: “I’ve never had a
case quite like this. It seems irre-
gular. But the committee will
consider the matter on the basis
of this record.”
Boycott of U.S. Ships
There’s more than meets the,
eye behind the boycott of the
Egyptian vessel Cleopatra by
longshoremen and the Seafarers
Union in New York harbor.
It’s well known that the boy-
cott is causing the State Depart-
ment to pressur e the two labor
unions to let the Cleopatra unload
its cotton; also is causing Col-
onel Nasser to' scream that he
will boycott American ships.
However, not in the headlines is
the manner in which Nasser has
been boycotting 28 American ves-
sels.
Most flagrant and recent case
is that of the S.S. Westport which
arrived in Suez in March with a
cargo of grain under Public Law
480. Despite the fact that this
grain was a gift to feed the Egyp-
tian people, it was not permitted
to unload, Egyptian police went
aboard, took possession, collected
the seamen’s papers without
which they can get no other jobs,
and kept the crew incommunica-
do for 22 days in the boiling heat.
The crew was not permitted to
go ashore.
After 22 days, the crew was per-
mitted to transfer to another ship
and return home. The Westport,
by this time bankrupt, was sold
in Egypt for a song.
This climaxed the boycott of 27
other U.S. ships because they had
committed the unforgivable sin of
calling at an Israeli port on pre-
vious voyages.
“We fought a war in 1812 for
freedom of the sea,” says Sea-
farers official Ray Murdoch. “Our
men were then being taken off
American vessels exactly the
same way Nasser has been hold-
ing our crews today. Again in
1917 we entered World War I
after German U-boats disrupted
freedom o fthe seas. But today,
aside from labor, our great and
powerful State Department is tak-
ing Colonel Nasser’s highhanded-
ness lying down.”

Syndicate)
I think you’ll like the fol-
lowing essay by Grace Mary
Garry which she read at this
week’s Kiwanis Club meeting.
It’s called, “Why My Home
Town is an Almost Ideal Place
to Live:”
My home town is not a
Utopia by any means. But what
small American town is? My
town is an average town, and
its ten thousand inhabitants are
certainly ordinary people. A
passer-through would probably
notice no remarkable difference
between it and the numerous
other communities of its size
across the United States.
I was born in my little town
eighteen years ago, and I have
lived there always. I have vis-
ited in other towns, large and
small, and have always been
glad to get home. One of the
nicest things about my town is
its people. Because it is a
small town, it is easy to know
almost everyone. I enjoy walk-
ing down the street and hear-
ing the cheerful call of a
friend across the way. I like
the friendly smiles that greet
me as I walk into a store and
the sound of a horn as a class-
mate, whizzing around the com-
er, sees me. It is a friendly
town made up of wholesome
people, bound together in at
least one effort, the improve-
ment of their community.
This common desire for im-
provement has spurred the peo-
ple on to the accomplishment
of several outstanding aims.
Several years ago a few citi-
zens began a project designed
to fulfill the long-held dream
of having a new building to
house the public library. For
years the library had been in
an old army barracks, ugly
and inadequate. The town set
to work to raise money to erect
a new, modern building. Every-
one, old and young, rich and
poor, contributed.
This spring a large, modem,
and very attractive library
building was dedicated', mak-
ing that old dream a bright
new reality. It is an accomplish-
ment of which the whole town
is justifiably proud, for it was
done without one cent of tax
money or outside aid.
Perhaps one of the greatest
disadvantages of living in a
small town is that there are
few opportunities for the de-
velopment of cultural activities
or entertainment. Our town is
quite fortunate, however, for
we are close enought to Austin
to go there for art exhibits,
plays, and other phases of cul-
tural entertainment.
Strictly from a teen-age point
of view, my community cer-
tainly has its advantages. The
school, like the town, is small,
and most of the three hundred
students know one another quite
well. Associations are certainly
not limited to particular cliques
or even to classes. I am a sen-
ior this year and an officer
in several school clubs. I rea-
lize that if I were in a school
in Austin, Dallas, or Houston,
I would probably never get my
head above the crowd. My
classmates and I all have a
chance to mix, to lead, and to
contribute to the good of the
school. We can be ourselves
rather than a number in the
throng.
Entertainment in my town is
limited', I must admit. There is
one theater and a teen age
club called the Teen Den; soon
there will be a bowling alley.
But when tilings get dull, some-
one in the crowd is always will-
ing fo have some people over
to dance, roast weiners, or just
sit and watch T. V. One could
never say that we let things
get dreary.
Next year I will leave my
home town to go to college,
perhaps never to return except
for visits. I sometime wonder
where I shall live after I am
married and where I shall rear
my children. The thought of
busy streets and crowded neigh-
borhoods makes me shudder.
When I think of the hurry and
the scurry of city life, I grow
panicky. Then I just hope that
God will bless me in the fu-
ture, as he has in the past,
with a friendly little ordinary
town.

PARTNERS IN TEXAS PROGRESS
A PROGRESSIVE AGRICULTURE
A basic requirement for a balanced
economy in Texas is a sound, progressive
/ agriculture.
Therefore, Texas Power & Light Com-
pany maintains a staff of trained and expe-
rienced farm specialists to work with farm
customers, county agents, vocational agri-
cultural departments, soil conservation
agencies and local businessmen toward the
improvement of farming and the creation
of new markets for farm products. Prog-
ress in efficient production must be matched
with stable and remunerative markets for
what the farmer produces. Some of the
activities in which TP&L is currently par-
ticipating include vegetable, soybean, and
grass-growing programs, cattle feeding.
In keeping with the importance to our
State of thriving rural communities, this
Company and ten of the other investor-
owned, electric utility companies in Texas,
along with the Texas Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, are sponsoring a 5-year pro-
gram of rural community improvement.
This program gives assistance in organ-
izing for increased farm income, improv-
ing health services, and encouraging social
and religious participation in the commu-
nity. Prizes are offered annually to each
of the rural communities showing the
greatest improvement
TP&L, a business-managed, investor-
owned, tax-paying electric utility, pledges
continued support toward a sound economy
in agriculture.
