AUSTIN — In an effort to
“prevent confusion to occu-
pants, mailmen and the pub-
lic” when the second of two
sleek, pink marble State
office buildings on the Capitol
grounds is completed soon,
the State Building Commission
re-named them .after famous
Texas patriots.
First State Office Building
— gnerally referred to as
‘S.O.B. No. 1’ — now is des-
ignated as the Sam Houston
State Office Building; the sec-
cond . called “S.O.B. No. 2,”
was named after John H. Rea-
gan, first chairman of the
Texas Railroad Commission
and Postmaster General of
the Confederacy.
STUDY SCHEDULED —

man named Rep. Will Smith

ations of Texas Examining

Gladden of Fort Worth and
Travis Peeler of Corpus Chris-
ti will serve on the committee,
to effect “an even greater
understanding between the li-
censing boards and the Legis-
lature,” Turman said.
Objects of their research
will be the 23 State examin-
ing and licensing boards or-
ganized for the purpose of
testing every prospective
practitioner of plumbing,
law, cosmetology, medicine,
barbering or hairdressing and
18 other professions and
trades in Texas.
TEXTBOOKS PUBLICIZED
—State Commissioner of Ed-
ucation J. W. Edgar sent a
list of 203 textbooks, offered
for adoption by Texas schools,
to all county and independent
school district superintendents
and recommended that the
list be publicized so the pub-
lic will know it’s available.
Textbooks are those which
the state Textbook Committee
is studying for the 1963-64
school year. Number must be
sifted down' to 82 by October.
This approved list then will
be turned to the State Board
of Education.
Between Sept. 1 and 15, the
committee will hear any ob-
jections private citizens may
have to the books. Last fall,
there were plenty of protests.
Major complaint was that
the objectors didn’t know
which books were being con-
sidered in time to examine
them fully.
STRONG VOICE SILENT—
When the Texas Railroad
Commission held its monthly
hearing to determine the Aug-
ust oil allowable, representa-
tives from the major ci
panies and independents were
heard, but the strong voice of
Commissioner Gen. Ernest O.
Thompson was missing.
As one oilman after the oth-
er went up to urge a low
eight-day allowable, no mem'
ber of the Railroad Commis
sion challenged them. If “the
General” had been there he
might have done so, but he
was seriously ill in his home
in Amarillo.

The State’s Automatic Tax
Board kept to the lowest legal
minimum when it set the
State ad valorem tax rate for
next year at 42 cents on each
$100 valuation.
Tax boards have kept the
State’s property . ‘tax take’
down to the minimum for
several years now. It was up
to 77 cents per $100 valauation
before a 30-cent general rev-
enue tax was abolished in
1951.
Coke and Tom Green coun-
ties and the Dallas County
Flood Control District are the
only exceptions to the new
rate. Rate is 30 cents in these
three areas.
The 42-cent tax rate will pro-
vide 35 cents for free public
school purposes; two cents for
Confederate and Texas Ran-
ger pensions and the State
Building Commission fund;
and five cents for the college
building fund.
SHORT SNORTS
While many other state de-
partments were recommend-
ing increases in the biennial
budgets, the General Land Of-
fice decided to ask for an
$82,000 cut. Commissioner Jer-
ry Sadler said new electronic
accounting equipment could
get credit for the proposed
cut.
Atty. Gen. Will Wilson col-
lected a $185,873 judgment
from the U. S. government to
cover cost of re-routing 3.7
miles of F. M. Road 184 in
Coryell County, which the fed-
eral government wanted to de-
velop Fort Hood.
Members of the Texas Wa-
ter Commission and the Water
Development Boards have
been conferring with the Gov-
ernor’s Water Conservation
Committee to map out plans
for conservation storage if the
Constitutional Amendment on
that subject passes in Novem-
ber.
Attorney General’s office
received three contributions
from independent oil operators
this week to help defray the
cost of directional Surveys to
locate illegally-deviated wells
in East Texas. General Crude
Oil Company of Houston do-
nated $2,500; Goldston Oil
Corporation of Houston, $1,000
and Vaughn Petroleum, Inc.
of Dallas, $200.

Range Battles Being Fought By Floridians
OLDSTER BELIEVES
IN STICKING TO IT
LOUISVILLE, Ky. .-A man
who does not do anything by
halves is Arthur Stockhoff, of
Louisville.
Stockhoff has been married
50 years, associated with the
same church since 1890 and
with the Kiwanis Club for 45
years — 29 of them with perfect
attendance — and has been con-
nected with two social organi-
zations for 48 years.
ST. CLOUD, Fla. — Range
wars that were a mark of the
pioneer days of the West have
spread eastward into the state
of Florida.
In the old West the big ranch-
ers cut the fences of home-
steaders and farmers. In Flori-
da poachers are cutting fences
of the big cattle producers.
Chief target of rustlers and
poachers has been the 30,000-
acre cattle ranch near Osce-
ola, operated by the Mormon
Church. Dave Hawkins, man-
Whaley...
(Continued ri-om f’age One)
of Fort Worth is also represent-
ing the oil company.
Should Whaley be found guilty
and fined, an appeal to County
Court would be their next legal
maneuver, officials said.
Attorneys for the oil company
have maintained that a clause
in their lease 1 agreements re-
lease them from any damage
suits which could be brought by
the property owners. The law-
yers explained during a Council
meeting that when the individ-
uals bought the property they
waived damage rights.
This will be the first court
test of the city’s ordinance. It
will also be the first time such
an ordinance has been chal-
lenged anywhere.
ager of the ranch, said that the passing, poaching or fence-cut-
trouble is mainly with old-time
Florida residents who resent
the presence of strangers. He
has imported cowboys from New
Mexico to ride herd on his 60,-
000 head of cattle.
A number of arrests have
been made at the Mormon
ranch and also on big ranches
owned by Carl Kiekhaefer, near
St. Cloud and of Jack Jacks,
near Kenansville.
The ranch owners are com-
plaining that local officers
charge prisoners only with tres-
ting. They are demanding more
arrests and stiffer charges.
Meanwhile, they are busy
building fences and hiring more
men to protect their herds.
HIS AWAKENINGS ROUGH
LONDON, England — Rough
awakenings led Thomas Hooker
into the divorce court in Lon-
don. He charged that his wife,
Elizabeth, had a habit of arous-
ing him in the morning by hit-
ting him on the head with a
rock.
