On Sale of Malt Liquor
Parkhouse Walks Out
Of Committee Hearing
AUSTIN (AP)—Sen. George
Parkhouse of Dallas stalked out
of a Senate committee hearing
Wednesday because he said a
lobbyist sat at the committee
table supervising action on a
bill.
“I don’t think the head of a
lobby should sit at the commit-
tee table and read the amend-
ments and direct this whole
business,” he said.
Parkhouse pointed to Homer
Leonard, head of the Texas
Brewers Institute. Leonard tes-
tified earlier in the hearing on
a House-approved bill that gen-
erally would treat ale and malt
liquor the same as beer under
Texas liquor laws.
Presently ale and malt liquor
are classed generally with
wines and hard liquor.
Sen. Culp Krueger of El
Campo, Senate sponsor of the
measure, said Leonard sat be-
side Krueger’s chair at his re-
quest.
“Then I’m leaving,” said
Parkhouse and walked away
from the table. He returned a
few minutes later to be record-
ed as voting “no” when the
committee recommended Sen-
ate passage of the bill.
Also voting against the bill
were Sens. Bill Moore of Bryan
and H. J. Blanchard of Lub-
bock.
All amendments were voted
down except one offered by
Krueger, at Leonard's sugges-

United officials say it works
best when the fog occurs at
temperatures between 24 and 28
degrees. This is called super-
cooled fog.
This is what they believe hap-
pens:
When dry ice pellets are re-
leased, they begin to turn to
gas. This takes heat from the
air. In this intense cooling,
moisture begins to collect into
ice particles and to descend.
They pick up other particles and
eventually turn into a light
snow. No fog remains.

Massachusetts discovered the
