ganizations attended a meeting in
the Bryan City Hall to set plans
Tor this year’s chest X-ray drive.
Dr. E. E. Holt, president of the
Bryan-College Station Tuberculo
sis Association, which is sponsoring
fhe survey, introduced Dr. Carl
ton Lee, the man local board offi
cials selected to conduct the sur
vey.

tion proper while Penberthy will
handle arrangements on the A&M
campus.
Charles Hoover, field worker of
the TB division of Texas State
Health Department in Austin
spoke at the meeting. Hoover
praised the county TB association
for its two previous surveys. He
said they were by far, “above aver
age of other cities in Texas.”
1 The health department official
predicted even greater response for
this year due to the fact that peo
ple are becoming more aware of
the importance of the annual chest
X-ray clinic in finding unknown
cases of the dread disease.
The county group set dates when
the X-ray unit will be installed at
various places. The unit is slated
to be in College Station April 28
and 30, then again May 1-7. In

County Health Unit.
Dr. Brown said chicken-pox is

tains.
Third Graders
Get Ticket Prize
The Third Grade at A&M Consol
idated Elementary School was
awarded $10 Tuesday by the Cam
pus Study Club for having sold the
largest amount of tickets for the
library benefit held Saturday night.
Mrs. T. K. Chamberlain, treas
urer of the club, reported Mrs. C.
K. Leighton’s class-room sold
$85.25 worth of tickets. A presen
tation of the prize money was made
yesterday in Mrs. Leighton’s room
at Consolidated Elementary School.
'The money will be used to buy
books for the room’s library. Mrs.
Chamberlain added that the child

Jeanelle La Motte
Writes Top Essay
Jeanelle La Motte, Consolidated
School fourth-grader, was award
ed $2.50 yesterday for turning in
the winning essay in a contest fea
turing democracy in action, an
nounced L. E. Boze, principal of
Consolidated High School.
The contest was held last week,
dhring “School Week.”
Second and third place winners
went to Gordon Darrow and Chris
topher Kent, fourth and third-
graders respectively. Gordon was
awarded $1.20 and Christopher
$1.
These essays were selected from
approximately 50 papers which’
were turned in by members of the
Elementary School, Boze added. He
said they averaged about 300 words
and were, judged by the High
School Faculty.
Prize money was donated by
Wilson and Bearrie Appliance Store
at the North Gate;
The group also discussed a bill
which would change the present
unsalaried nine-man state board
for hospitals and special schools
for TB. The local association is
opposed to a bill now in the senate
which would set up a three man
council with salaries.
Dr. Holt said, “This bill, if
passed, can only result in the de
moralization of the medical staffs
of state hospitals. It would be in
deed strange for our state legisla
ture to revei’t to procedure which
will jeopardize the welfare of our
TB individuals.”

Senate Group Supports
Home Rule City Curbs
By BO BYERS
Austin, March 15—0T)—A bill to
prevent cities from “grabbing” new
territory had strong support from
the Senate State Affairs Commit
tee yesterday.
A hearing, most of it devoted
to opponents, ended in 12-5 ap
proval of the measure by Jimmy
Phillips of Angleton.
Phillips said annexation prac
tices of many home rule cities
amount to “legalized plunder.”
“Cities now annex you while you
sleep and have a tax collector at
your breakfast table the next morn
ing,” he asserted. He said they
annex for revenue purposes with
out providing services and benefits
in return.
Hamstring Growth
City officials of Houston, Pasa
dena, Austin, Dallas, San Angelo
and Texas City said the bill would
hamstring the growth and orderly
development of cities.
They said it would be impossible
to comply with a provision of the
bill requiring cities to extend “serv-
St. Patrick Theme
For MSC Dance
St. Patrick’s Day will be the
theme for the All-College dance
in the MSC ballroom, Saturday
night at 9.
The Glenn Dewey Combo will
provide music for the dance. Dur
ing intermissions, three student
performers will give special enter-
tainrpent, according to Betty Bo-
lander, assistant social and edu
cation director of the MSC.
The dance will honor married
couples and members of the Texas
Interscholastic Student Associa
tion, who will remain in College
Station for the weekend.
Sponsors for the dance are the
MSC Dance Committee and the
MSC Publicity Committee. Dance
co-chairmen are Arnold Schmitz
and Carlos Reyes.
Admission will be charged and
everyone is invited, Miss Bolander
said.
ices and facilities ... to substan
tially all of (annexed) territory
within the taxable year” following
the date of annexation.
They rapped another part of the
bill allowing court suits of validity
of annexation proceedings to be
brought as late as four years after
the annexation. They said it would
subject a city to thousands of law
suits.
Under Bonds
“It would he difficult for a city
to sell bonds for development of
annexed territory because of the
deal of bond buyers that a jury
of 12 men would throw out the
validity of annexation four years
later,” City Attorney Earl Smith
of San Angelo said.
Phillips’ bill would not apply to
cities of over 100,009.
City Attorney Will Seal’s of
Houston said he thought the hill
was largely the result of industrial
plants not wanting to be annexed,
thereby becoming sunject to city
taxes.
“For your information, this bill
is for my little house two miles
from Angleton,” Phillips broke in.
Called Lousy
Mayor Sam Hoover of Pasadena
termed the legislation “a lousy
bill.”
The only witnesses for Phillips’
bill were three men from La-

for the Engineer Week Observance

the Memorial Student Center from
4 until 6 p. m. today, according to
W. E. Street, head of the engin

marque, an unincorporated area of
some 8,000 population near Texas
City.
Lester Ingram, chairman of the
committee for incorporation of La-
marque, said: “The city of Texas
City reached out one night and
grabbed an area that had been
getting along all right. We think
there should be a law to give some
protection against this sort of
thing.”
Nixon Charges
Influence Sold
To Committee
Washington, March 15 —
{JP)—Senator Nixon (R-Calif)
declared today a federal em
ploye described as President
Truman’s very good friend ap
parently “used his White House
entree” to push a bid for a govern
ment loan.
Nixon said he will continue to
insist that a Senate committee in
vestigating “influence peddling”
get to the bottom of the matter.
The government worker’s boss
promised to help.
The committee, meanwhile, took
behind closed doors for a few days
its inquiry into the activities of
“five percenters” who trade on. in
fluence in the defense contract
field. Senator Hoey (D-NC), the
chairman, said the committee staff
needs time to study “several tips
and leads” regarding such activi
ties.
The five percenter term has come
to be aplied to influence men who
charge a fee, often five per cent,
for help in getting government
contracts for others.
The federal employe to whom
Nixon referred is Joseph Major,
who works for the General Serv
ices Administration (GSA). That
is one of the government's biggest
purchasing agencies.
