DEAR EDITOR
The other day I read a quip
that went—“Go to college—
learn to read and riot.”
We all have gone overboard
for education, it seems. Is
this what we are to reap in
return? I wonder how many
of these rioters are enjoying
scholarships or government
loans. Those that are should
immediately be cut right off
at the collar. And every
school whose student bodies
are involved in these demon-
strations should be investi-
gated and their faculties thor-
oughly renovated It is cer-
tain that this filth is coming
from some place and entirely
too many college professors
are getting pinker and pinker
It’s a shame Harvey Lee
Oswald didn’t wait a couple
of years. He might have had
a lot of support today.
Every draft card burner
should be treated just as
Castro handles his undesir-
ables Apparently they think
Fidel is all right, since he is
on their side. Or maybe it’s
just a real yellow streak that
is causing all the trouble.
Card burning was unheard of

The Action Ticket Speaks
During the post three weeks this space hos been utilized os a public form by candiotes on the ACTION
TICKETrin an attempt to inform the citizens of Ingleside of some of the possibilities for growth and de
velopm^nt of the entire community.
The ACTION TICKET sincerely believes the public is entitled to know BEFORE election day the platform
of candidates for public office, and what they hope to accomplish if given a mandate ot the polls. Any
thing less would be shirking public responsibility to the citizens whose vote is solicited.
In attempting to inform oil citizens of what the ACTION TICKET evisions during the coming two years,
the following points were mentioned, with candidates on the ACTION TICKET pledging to use every
means at their disposal to accomplish them.
1. Administrate City affairs responsibly and economically within the pres-
ent tax structure.
2. Attract business and industry to the area.
3. Increase community services to the citizens of Ingleside.
4. Initiate positive programs for civic betterment
5. Initiate action in obtaining a direct dialing telephone connection with
Corpus Christi.
6. Inquire into the development of available, undeveloped land.
7. Initiate action on urban renewal problems.
8. Look at the feasibility of the connecting: road mentioned previously.
Th« ACTION TICKET believes the plotform ouflirwd above is o fair appraisal of steps that should
h# taken so that Ingleside may realize its potential and take its proper ploce as the finest place to live
in the Coastal Bend Area With the support of the people of Ingleside on April 5, the candidates on the
ACTION TICKET, ore confident that these steps moy be accomplished

AUSTIN, Tex.—Texas has some
615,000 new voters as a result
of the March3-17free registra-
tion period.
Turnout was six times larger
than state officials had pre-
dicted and could be an indicator
of a dawning new era in Texas
politics.
More than half the total came
from four big counties—Harris
with an estimated 100,000; Dal-
las with 96,017; Bexar with
88,100 and Tarrant with 50,662.
Gubernatorial candidate
Stanley C. Woods and two mem-
bers of the State Democratic
Executive Committee are at-
tempting to intervene in the
federal court action resulting
from the poll tax suit and force
reopening of the registration
period. They are urging the
court to allow registration up
until 30 days before each elec-
tion.
Atty. Gen. Waggoner Carr is
strongly opposing the motion-
arguing that all Texans inter-
ested in voting this year had
ample opportunity to sign up
during the 15-day period pro-
vided by the Legislature.
Federal judges have promis-
ed a decision—after they review
evidence—on whether the per-
iod should be lengthened.
Carr has submitted a 7,500-
page report (including 3,500
newspaper articles from 500
Texas newspapers) to support
his claim that everybody who
wants to vote got a chance to
qualify.
APRIL ALLOWABLE RAISED
Texas Railroad Commission,
at a time when oil demand
usually lightens, has raised
statewide oil allowable for April
to 33.7 per cent of potential.
Increase was the seventh
straight monthly boost. Only
once before in the last 20 years
has April allowable been higher
than March.
New allowable permits maxi-
mum production of 3,199,550
barrels a day. March operation
is under 33.2 per cent of poten-
tial factor, permitting produc-
tion of 3,170,316 barrels daily.
FEDERAL FUNDS
Texans hope to have eight new
programs approved by the fed-
eral government by April 1 to
launch a venture to promote
technical services for business
and industry.
Under the State Technical
Services Act of 1965, programs
approved by the U. S. Depart-
ment of Commerce would make
available new scientific and
technological discoveries to in-
quiring businesses, industries
and commercial enterprises.
Texas now is seeking $144,000
for the last quarter of this year
to get the requested programs
started at Texas Woman’s Uni-
versity, University of Texas,
Texas A 4 M University and
Southern Methodist University.
Federal funds fully support
these planning programs.
These eight fields have been
suggested in proposals submit-
ted to the Commerce Depart-
ment;
Texas A 4 M—Training for-
mation specialists, chemical
engineer workshop; electronic
corporation managers,primary
metal industry and petroleum
industry workshops.
University ofTexas—Contin-
uing education for engineers.
Southern Methodist—Techni-
cal Information services,North
Texas.
Texas Woman’s University—
Activlatlon analysis workshop.
DRAFT QUOTA DOWN
Col. Morris S. Schwartz,
State Selective Service direc-
tor, says 979 men will be called
to fill the April draft quota. This
is the lowest call since August,
1965.
Monthly calls in the period
from September through March
ranged from a low of 1,068 to
a high of 1,523.
Pre-induction physical and
mental examinations will be
given to 3,005 men during April.
This also Is a reduction from
March, when 5,515 were tested.
During the same period, he
said, men classified as students
rose from 85,000 to 104,000.
At the end of January, there
were 106,000 men classified in
2-S as students.

a-year salary.

general’s opinion on its re-
sponsibilities to pass on col-
lege buildings financed by gen-
eral revenue. Board approved

Texas College of Arts and In-
dustries, Kingsville, and en-
dorsed purchase of Rosemont
Apartments and land by Angelo
State College, San Angelo, for

IMPORTANT ADDITION
Securities Commissioner
William M. King believes a
recent decision by the Texas
Court of Criminal Appeals Is
an important addition to the
legal protection afforded Texas
investors against fraudulent
practices in the sale of se-
curities.
Court held that misrepresen-
tation of material facts in of-
fering securities for salt Is a
crime under penal provision of
the Texas Securities Act.
