“This is the first bov I’ve Johnny Cheney of Dallas Goff’s
signed in my territory in two I 12-year-old grandson. Cheney
years,” Goff said. “The last I™8 ending up foul balls
one was Floyd Weaver from Tuesday when he jumped over
Pecan Gap.”
Weaver now plays for Port-
land of the Pacific Coast
League. His record thus far is
5-0, according to Sporting
News. Portland is leading its
division of the Pacific Coast
circuit.
Goff, meanwhile, has closed
out his Indian tryout camp in j
Sulphur Springs and is prepar-
ing to start his second one of
the summer Thursday in Mexia.
A third tryout camp is sched-
uled next week in Victoria.
Fourteen boys showed up in
Sulphur Springs. The majori-
ty came from Hopkins and the
surrou riding counties, but
other
returns showed Corley with
20,294 votes to 14,749 for E.
C, Brice of Mount Pleasanl
Hopkins County went strongl;
for Brice, 3,805-498.
There is no Republican nom-
inee for the post in the general
election.
While candidates involved in
other Texas elections Saturday
were in the mill in run-off elec-
tions, the Corley-Briee race
was in effect the only election
for the position.
An error in Red River Coun-
ty in the May primary—where
Brice’s name was left off the
ballot, caused that election to
be nullified by the state Demo-
cratic committee.
In the 10 counties where
both men’s names appeared on
the ballot in May, Brice had
taken a narrow but definite
margin. However, Corley had
polled more than 3,000 votes
in Red River County to less
than 10 write-in votes for
Brice.
But Red River County was
only a drop in the bucket Sat-
urday, although Corley again
carried that county.
Returns late Saturday in*
eluded all unofficial, results
with the exception of Marion
county and one box in Lamar
County. The missing boxes
were well shy potentially of
reversing the Corley victory.
Bowie Give* Lead
Corley scored a wide-margin
victory in Bowie County to seal
the decision in one swoop. His
margin there was 8,615 to
1,504, or 7,111 votes.
Brice actually held the edge
in the remaining 10 counties
since the Corley lead was 5,546
votes.
Brice’s victory in Hopkins
County, where he has many
family and professional ties,
was by far his largest, although
he carried his home county
(Titus) comfortably. A lack of
other runoff races there held
down the vote and Brice won
only 741-74.
Corley was also a big win-
ner in Harrison County, 3,013-
1,346 and thus Brice’s strength
in the smaller voting counties
could not overcome the deficit.
Unofficially, Corley carried
these counties: Bowie, 8,615
to 1,504; Cass, 1,644 to 644;
Harrison 3,013 to 1,346; La-
mar, 2,874 to 2,807 and Red
River County, 1,967 to 1,323.
Brice carried these counties:
Delta, 411 to 177; Franklin,
1,021 to 255; Hopkins, 3,805
to 498; Morris, 1,267 to 1,180
and Titus, 741 to 74.

WRIGHT PATMAN'S
The Land and Water Comer-
v.tion Fund Bill (H.R. 3846)
has cleared another important
hurdle in its legislative prog-
ress through the House and its
prospects for ultimate passage
are good. This bill would help
improve our outdoor recrea-
tional facilities.
Tax Reminder. If your son
or daughter has a summer job
but is in school for at least
five months during the year,
he or she may still earn over
$600 without costing the par-
ent the loss of a dependency
deduction — provided the par-
ent provides at least 60% of
the child’s support for the year.
This is true even though the
dependent must file his own
return if he or she earns $600
or more.
Increased insurance Cover-
age from $10,000 to $20,000
on bank deposits and savings
and loans investments was de-
feated in the House because
of the opposition of the Ameri-
can Bankers’ Association. This
proposal would have help all
of the depositors and all the
banks except about 1 % (or
135) that are real big banks
located in those few cities
which in the aggregate control
the greater part of the nation’s
financial resources.
This challenge was made to
every member on the floor of
the House during debate
“Name me one time when a
proposal came before Congress
affecting the banks when the
big banks were on one side and
the little banks on the other,
that the American Bankers’
Association ever — one time—-
took the side of the little
banks.” No member was able to
cite one such instance.
Adjournment. Congress will
likely recess for the July 13
Republican Convention and
probably do the same thing for
the August Democratic Conven-
tion. If Congress has not made
it possible to adjourn for the
session by August 24th, there
will probably be a recess from

Social Security. A 6 % acrOSS-
the-board boost in cash retire*
ment benefits stands a good
chance of approval by Can*
gress, regardless of what is
done about medical aid for the
aged. Liberalisation of the ex-
isting state operated Kerr-Mills
program is more probable than
a Medicare bill which would
be financed by Social Security.
Touri.m — World*. Larfeat
Industry. Tourists may travel
now and pay later. Higher in-
comes and increased leisure,
accompanied by advancementa
in living standards, are making
it possible for more and more
people to travel. Americans are
paying about $30-billion a year
for this purpose.
West Germany and the Unit-
ed States are paying more to
the rest of the world than they
are receiving from visitors. So
far as our country is concern-
ed, this can be reversed. The
right kind of campaigns
would disclose the attractive-
ness of different parts of our
country and tourist travel in
the United States could soon be
doubled.
This would ease our balance
of payments p rob 1 e ms and
would also be an eye-opener to
many Americans who do nor
realize the vast extent of our
great country and ita varied
resources. Too few people from
other sections think of North
East Texas as the land of lakes,
abundant greenery, and scenic
beauty that it actually is!
