Despite Cold Wave
Thursday afternoon’s norther
failed to freeze out a group of
San Antonio men who came u>
Brady to boost the San Antonio
Livestock Show and Rodeo.
Bad road conditions, however,
delayed their hus and they didn't
have a chance to present their
musical program on the square.
The bus arrived in Brady after <1
p. m . and by that time the cold
wind had chased most people off
the streets.
Members of the Chamber of
Commerce Livestock Committee
took the visitors to Tommy
Brook's lodge on the San Saha
River until time for the dinner
here later Thursday night at El
Patio.
The San Antonio men brought
along a string band, the Top
Hands, and provided the enter-
tainment for the dinner. They
spent the night here and left for
San Antonio Friday morning
after a wrecker was called to got
their cold bus started.

SOLDIERS DONATE BLOOD—1The 1st Ar-
mored Division soldiers at Fort Hood donated
what was believed to be the largest amount of
blood ever collected in any one day by a single
Red Cross Bloodmohile, when they contributed
418 pints of whole blood. Sgt. William J. Grant,
Hq & Hq Company, 1st Armored Division, a
veteran of twenty-years service, gives his 20th
pint of blood, the first donated in 1938 at West
Point, N. Y. Mrs. Dorothy Chapman, center, of
Waco is the Red Cross nurse who drew the blood,
while at right is Mrs. William M. Guyton, one
of the volunteer ladies of Fort Hood who per-
formed vital services during the blood collection.

State CAPITOL
By VERN SANFORD
Texas Press Association
AUSTIN, Tex.,—A decisive turn
on the question of a special session
of the Legislature was due this
week as a state committee consid-
ered a way out on the teacher pay
problem.
J. W. Edgar, commissioner of
education, had announced a week’s
delay in the all-important meet-
ing because some of the 25 mem-
bers could not be present.
Before the committee was a
compromise plan to give teachers
n $402 salary increase and require
local districts to pay a percentage
lather than fixed amounts of
basic school costs.
Governor Allan Shivers indicat-
ed that if the committee agreed
on the plnn lie would ask the views
of legislators and then make his
decision about calling a special
session.
A sub-committee and most Tex-
as school administrators previously
reported their approval of the
plan.
* * *
In view of the prospect for a
special session, a potential candi-
date for governor continued his
side swipes at the Shivers adminis-
tration.
Ralph W. Yarborough, Austin
attorney, declared that the gover-
nor should call special elections to
fill vacancies in the House of Rep-
resentatives. Yarborough was de-
feated by the governor in the last
campaign for the office.
Governor Shivers replied that
“the governor’s office will decide
about calling special elections
when and if it decides as to the
special session."
♦ * *
Another “Loyalist” and pros-
pective candidate for governor also
took a slap at Shivers, without
calling any names.
Agriculture Commissioner John
C. White blasted the state’s cross-
filing law as “n blessing for Re-
publicans ami a curse for Demo-
crats.”
“When a man cannot reconcile
his personal beliefs with those of
the party, then he should sever his
connections with that party,”
White declared.
“But under no circumstances
should he use his conflicting opin- |
ions as an excuse to betray his I
party.
“And that is the most damning
chnrge that can he made against I
some of our public officials during j
the year 1952.” he said.
* * *
White’s attacks made it nnnnr- !
cut that ho would make or-
ing an issue if he and Phivcs
should become opponents in this
year's race for governor.
He is the only state official who j
refused Republican cross filing in
the 1952 elections.
Governor Shivers, on the ot' er
hand, allowed his name *o la* plac-
ed on the GOP ballot and helped i
carry Texas for Eisenhower and !
the Republicans.

West Texas farmers and ranch-
ers face increasing eost< for drouth j
emergency hay.
Applications for transportation
aid have been halte ! dtsuite $400.- I
jOO more in federal funds marked
fur the program
Agriculture Commissioner White !
said the program in the future j
will cover half of the freight costs
up to maximum of $10 per ton.
On past shipments the program
absorbed half the total cost and
the railroads the remainder. The
railroads stopped their reduced
rates January 1.
* * *
Freight cost payments have av-
| eraged $12.23 per ton, according to
agriculture officials. But they say
that, stockmen now are ordering
from such states as Nevada ami
Idaho thereby increasing the costs
to about $35 per ton.
White estimated that aid allot-
ments already made will exhause
the state-financial fund, if the
allocations are used.
In addition, stockmen who al-
ready have allotments but have not
placed orders for hay will be sub-
ject to the new payment policy.
* * *
Texas faces another serious
problem in the overcrowded condi-
tions in state hospitals.
“It is evident that with the ex-
pected increase in population over-
crowding will remain u problem
for years to come,” the Board for
State Hospitals and Special
Schools reported to the governor.
Although the $35 million seven-
year building program has been
going for three years, the board
pointed out, it is not keeping pace
with demands for bed space in the
various hosnitals.
* »k *
According to the board, a sur-
vey of some of the institutions
showed 20,850 patients occupying
space suitable for 13,200.
Recommendations to the Legis-
lature to subsidize care of the
aged in private nursing homes is
planned. Also, as soon as money
is available, a system of outpat-
ient control at mental and tuber-
culosis hospitals will lie started,
the board stated.
An organization of Texas cities
has started an early campaign to
get the attention of legislators
before the regular session.
A program to obtain additional
revenue from sources other than
property taxes has been laid out
by the League of Texas Municipal-
ities.
Cities are “entitled to a fair
share of the revenue from any
increase in gasoline taxes” or any
tax levied for road purposes, the
league emphasized.
League members also plan for
abolition of the ad valorem tux on
motor vehicles. They would sub-
stitute an annual registration fee,
increased by one-third, with the in-
crease being paid to the city in
which the vehicle owner lives.
In view of the telephone rate
problem, the league will call for
creation of a state public utility
rate “aid service” to be financed
by cities asking for help in rate
fixing eases.
* * *
A commission set jp by the
Legislature has urged all state
colleges to require at least one
course in American history.
Only one IT. S. college in five
requires study of the subject be-
fore graduation, the Texas Histor-
ical Survey Commission pointed
out.
In a resolution the commission
cited a survey which showed the
typical college freshman as unable
to specifically identify Abraham
Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, An-
drew Jackson or Theodore Roose-
velt.
“Hundreds of those interrogated
thought thnt Walt Whitman was
either a missionary in the Far
East or an orchestra leader on the
Atlantic seaboard,” the resolution
added.
