WHITE HOUSE | I
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16 <**>—
Senator-elect Lyndon Johnson (D-
Tcx) was a White House caller
yesterday.
After conferring with President
Truman, Johnson told newsmen ho
hud discussed proposed dams for
the Colorado and Guadalupe rivers.
Johnson said he had talked with
Mai. Truman on the subject when
the chief executive was In Texas,
ami that he wanted to “bring him
up to data.” He would not ela
borate.
j Johnson said the president "was
very proud of the results”' of soil
and water - conservation develop
ments along the lower Colorado
River in Texas, which he saw on
his Texas tour. ^
’I also told him the people were
very grateful for his interest in
developing the Brazos River Val
ley. We also discussed plans for
the Canadian River, Trinity, and
other watersheds in Texas where
flood control and soil conservation
programs are in the offing.”

t takes big companies to turn out

International Harvester we have the
idea that when a company grows be^
yond a certain size, it becomes a social

that aa a soclhl institution it has cer

is an illustration of applied Httcial
science, Tho employes built the truck,
but it would not have been built if
the customers had not wanted to buy
it, nor would it have been built if the
stockholders had not furnished Har-

lieve that our business should be run
