NOT THE ONLY EXPERT — Seemingly, Dr. Wernher Von Braun, right, was not the
only missile expert attending the second Manned Space Flight meeting in Dallas as evi-
denced by the sign in the windshield of this German-made car parked outside the con-
ference room. The sign reads “Space Secret for Sale.” Von Braun told newsmen about
recent developments in the U. S. space program while the prankster contented him with
the display of his sign. (NEA)

Moisture Here
Moisture continued to drip

pushing April into the spot as
“wettest month” thus far in
1963.
That still isn’t much of a
claim, of course. Wednesday
afternoon’s brief rain showers
added .17 of an inch of mois-
ture to the Sulphur Springs
total, running the month’s
figure to 1.67 inches. A light
mist Thursday morning didn’t
add appreciably to the total.
By months, the Sulphur
Spring* rainfall measurements
for 1963 now read: January
1.41 inches, February 1.0 1,
March 1.54 and April 1.67, for
a year’s total of 5.63.
The 10-year normal for the
first four months of the year
is 14.71 inches and the lowest

Texas House
Asked io Take
Up Loan Bill
Austin, Apr. 25 IJ’I—Repre-
sentative Don Garrison of
Houston has asked the Tcycas
House to take up the proposed
loan shark bill today.
Garrison is sponsor of the
House for a bill that has pass-
ed the Senate. It regulates
loans up to $1,500. The meas-
ure provides interest rates from
19 per cent per year on loans
of $1,500 to interest rates of
1,040 per cent per year on
loans under $20. It also allows
lenders who made loans untjer
$100 to charge $1 per $5 of
cash advanced.
In asking for consideration
of the loan shark hill, Garri-
soh said he was not happy with
all the provisions of the bill,
especially those concerning the
interest rates, but he though
otherwise the bill was good.
He said: “We have been put-

May Do Well in Rural Areas
By CLARKE KEYS
The young lady considering
marriage and living in Sulphur
Springs might do well to expand
her search into the confines of
all of Hopkins County—if she
wants to increase the odds in
her favor as well us expand the
potential selection field.
United States census figures
compiled in 1960 indicated an
overall surplus of males for
county outside of Sulphur
Springs compared to 488 young
women in the same area.
The boy-to-gir! ratio in Hop-
kins County in the 15 to 24
age brackets is in direct opposi-
tion to the total picture for
both the county and" Sulphur
Springs as reflected in I960
census figures.
The total county population
of 18,594 consisted of 9,020

(now those persons basically
18 to 27). B u t in Sulphur
Springs itself the young ladies
were more numerous.
Any way you figure that it
comes out with Hopkins County
offering a wider field in more
ways than one.
— There were 558 young wom-
en counted in 1960 in Sulphur
Springs who were between the
ages of 15 and 24. There were
only 526 young men in the
same age span.
In the total county picture,
however, the young men were
more numerous by a count of
1117 to 1046. To save On arith-
phur Springs accounted for all
of that difference and then
some, recording 4,272 males
and 4,888 females in a popula-
tion of 9,160 at that time.
Men thus still held the edge
in the rural and small town
areas, 4,748 to 4,686.
Female* Hold Edge
In Sulphur Springs the cen-
sus figures show the females
holding the numerical edge
over the males in every single
5-year age span starting from
birth-to-five on up.
The margin was slim in some
cases, notably in the 6-to-9
bracket where girls outnumber-

591 youn£ men living in the I to 54 bracket where women
outnumbered men only 274-
271.
But the lead generally was
in the 20s and 30s in most
age brackets, climbing gradu-
ally in the later years, as most
life insurance statistics no
doubt would confirm.
In areas of the county other
than Sulphur Springs there was
no set pattern. Males outnum-
bered females in the four age
brackets from five years old
through 24, but after that the
lead changed back and forth,
with women perhaps holding
the edge.
But although the census fig-
ures don’t show it, you can
count on one fact existing in
both the county generally and
in Sulphur Springs; too: exactly
one half of the people taking
out marriage licenses in 19G0
in Hopkins County were men.
That goes for any year.

Harriman told newsmen in
Moscow he feels that Khrush-

West agreements on Laos. He
said the United States is care-

it’s insulting and incorrect for
the Communists to blame the
United States for the flareup
in Laos.

106.1 per cent — was reached

About 40,000 workers will

increases based on living cost

,25,000 other workers will re-
ceive varying pay increases
based on local living cost in-
dexes prepared by the govern-
ment. The 25,000 include
some 10,000 supermarket em-
ployes in the Los Angeles
area.
The March living cost lev-

Montgomery, Ala., Apr.
25 (AP)— Attorney-Gen-
eral Robert Kennedy told
Alabama’s segregationist
governor, George Wal-
lace, today that he would
rather leave integration in Ala-
bama up to the state. But the
I attorney-general warned that
court rulings will he enforced.
Robert Kennedy and Wal-
I lace confered for an hour and
]20 minutes. After the meeting,
Wallace said his position wa*
the same as before. And he re-
peated his campaign promise to
stand in the schoolhouse dobr
to prevent de-segregation.
Both Rebert Kennedy and
Wallace described their meet-
ing as pleasant. They agreed
neither had changed his views.
Pickett Arretted
The segregationist governor
met with the head of the Jus-
tice Department in an atmos-
phere of racial tension. Eigh-
teen white pickets were arrest-
ed shortly before the attorney-
general arrived for the confer-
ence at the state capital.
The pickets were charged
with violating a city ordinance
by parading without a permit.
The President’s brother was
heavily guarded as he walked
through the statehouse by fed-
eral, state and local law en-
forcement agencies.
A governor’s office spokes-
man said the meeting was tape-
recorded and would be tran-
scribed. He said there was a
microphone on Wallace’s desk.
Also sitting in on the confer-
ence was executive director Ed
Reid of the Alabama League
of Municipalities who arranged
the meeting and was invited
by Kennedy to attend. Others
present were state finance di-
rector Seymore Trammell and
Burke Marshall, chief of the
J u s t i c e Department’s civil
rights division.
Mistake Admitted
Robe it Kennedy said at an
informal news conference after
the meting that he told the
governor he felt the federal
government had made a mis-
take in taking aerial photo-
graphs of the University of
Alabama.
He said Wallace assured him
that the state could have made
such photographs available on
request. Kennedy said there
are no plans now to ask for
such photographs of any other
universities in Alabama.
The attorney-general said he
understood Wallace still is op-
posed to violence in racial mat-
ters, and said the governor as-
sured him all efforts would be
made to maintain law and
order.
In return, Kennedy said he
told the governor that no out-
side force of any kind should
interfere with integration. He
said nevertheless it was the
duty of the Justice Department
to see that federal court orders
are put into effect.
The attorney-general said
they discussed federal discrim-
ination cases against voter reg-
