Continue Protest
Marshall, Tex., Aug. 9—(A*)—The
defiant Marshall houswives say
they’ll take their fight against
collecting Social Security taxes
from their domestic servants
straight to the congressmen.
They plan to write a personal
letter to every congressman urging
repeal of the federal law requir
ing them to collect the taxes.
Those wei’e the plans being made
today while a quiet settled down
and no more treasury agents ap
peared to nick their bank accounts.
Tuesday and Monday the agents
took a total of $44.23 from the ac
counts of ten women who had re
fused to pay the taxes. The money
represented the taxes due and the
penalties for the first period of
the year ending April 30.
Two separate groups of Marshall
women who don’t have domestic
help announced they had gotten
together and endorsed the stand of
the rebellion. The announced sup
porters numbered twenty.

Tech Denies
$400,000 Grid
Money Used
Lubbock, Tex., Aug. 9 — (JP) —
Texas Tech officials denied em
phatically last night that there
was a $400,000 fund to be used
in providing the college with a
football team.
Head Coach DeWitt Weaver
snorted that the fund—if any—
would come closer to $400 than to
$400,000.
He was commenting on a state
ment by Coach Bob Winslow of
The University of Arizona, in a
talk before the Optimist Club at
Tucson, that Texas Tech is an ex
ample of oversubsidization.
Money to Raise Team
Winslow said Tech is furnished
$400,000 with which to go out and
raise a football team and that
“I don’t know whether it’s oil
money or where it comes from.”

showed possibilities of becoming
one of the best linebackers in the
conference during Spring drills.
Ten lettermen were lost from
last Fall’s team with all of them
gaining their numeral as a line
man. Most of them will be re
placed but by doing so, reserve
strength will be sapped.
Even so, the 1951 squad has a
potential which can’t be fully mea
sured although the sportswriters
and coaches have put “the mon
key on A&M’s back” by picking
them to take the conference crown
this Fall.
Only after the gun is fired on
Nov. 29, will we know whether or
not “1951 is the year.”

Weaver said “if he can tell me
where I can get $400,000 I sure
would be happy to know. Tech
would come a lot closer to having
$400 than $400,000 for an athletic
fund. He sure must have been
talking to an optimist club. Any
body with any sense would love
to have that sum with which to
run an athletic program.
“I wonder if Winslow has been
in Tech’s gym recently. If we
had $400,000, it seems we could
afford a better gym doesn’t it?
1 can’t imagine why Winslow would
have said it unless he is trying to
raise some money himself.”
Wooden Gym
The Tech gym is a wooden and
stucco structure—the only one the
school has had in its 25-year his
tory. Border Conference basket
ball games have been halted at
times while students mopped up
water that leaked through the roof.
Dr. J. William Davis, chairman
of the Tech faculty athletic com
mittee, said “we are governed by
the same rules that the University
of Arizona is, and we follow them.
The whole thing sounds ridiculous
to me. I don’t like for Tech to be
held up as an example of oversub
sidization. We at Tech are abiding
by the Border Conference rules
and trust The University of Arizo
na is doing the same.”
“Out For Tech”
Dr. D. M. Wiggins, President of
Texas Tech, was not available for
comment. Another high college of
ficial, who would not be quoted by
name, said, however, that the col
lege knew the moment it stepped
out to improve its athletic program
“they would be out for Tech.”
Tech this year hired a number
of widely known coaches. It estab
lished a foundation two years ago
dedicated to improving the scholas
tic and athletic set-ups. This foun
dation makes a contribution to
ward athletics.

Costliest Drouth
The Austin American-Statesman
Farm Editor Dave Shanks wrote
that Central Texas is suffering
“its costliest drouth since 1925.”
Some 2,500 head of cattle moved
through the Abilene Livestock Auc
tion Tuesday—a thousand more
than the usual run at this time.
Bob McDaniel, president of the
Abilene Livestock Auction Commis
sion, said dry weather, poor ranges
and low water supplies were forc
ing an early market.
And add to the victims of the
heat wave: 14 snakes. They were
dead when they arrived at Glade-
water today for a snake show.
They were Texas Diamond rattlers,
Mexico rattlers, South American
pythons and boa constrictors being
shipped from New Braunfels.
Finishing one day early amid the numerous onlookers from all
over the country, Ed (Boll Weevil) Keane of Harlingen completed
the bale of cotton he wagered friends he could pick in a week.
Many Valley residents and business organizations had offered
prizes totaling nearly $2,000 if he could pick the bale.
Keane Completes
Bale of Cotton
Harlingen, Tex., Aug. 9—6P)—At
7:44 o’clock tonight a tired disk
jockey straightened his back and
said, “I made it, didn’t I?”
Ed “Bool Weevil” Keane, who
boasted that he could pick a bale
of cotton in seven days, made good
that brag. About $1,600 dollars in
prizes are now his.
Keane, employe of a Harlin
gen radio station, gathered 1540
pounds of cotton, which ginned a
542-pound bale.
Rain had held up Keane’s cotton-
pickin’ efforts on three occasions,
but judges allowed him time out
for the rain.
Keane—a small fellow with a
mustache—wasn’t used to manual
Eisenhower

or that some sort of coalition ticket
might be arranged are now being
bypassed.
Nearly all I have talked to agree
on one thing. If Eisenhower is
a candidate, anyone else is going
to be on ticklish grounds.
The old argument about the
“military mind,” and American fear
of it in government, will be there,
with disagreement over whether
the “military mind” cliche truly
applies to Eisenhower.
Within the Republican party, of
course, is the politicians’ fear of a
non-organization map. Party ca
reer men fear any irregularity
which might develop in appoint
ments and lack of attention to a
party organization which has been
subjected to a gradual malnutri
tion for nearly 20 years. That’s
practical politics, and a fear which
nobody expresses in connection
with Taft.
Unskilled Politician
There is also the objection, and
the most public one, that Eisen
hower is not skilled in political
management, despite his recogniz
ed organizational ability, that his
great successes were in a time of
emergency when he had the back
ing of some of the world’s most
knowledgeable men.
They will say that Eisenhower
would be no less confused than
anyone else on such a matter as
economic controls, and that his
experience cannot be a substitute
for practical knowledge of political
and economic possibilities.
labor. But he stuck to his task
gamely.
He sucked lemons to slake his
thirst. His hands grew raw and
red.
As Keane bent to his task, ki
bitzers followed him closely. A
group of girls set up a cold drink
stand. It looked like they did a
land office business.
Cotton men from as far away
as Louisiana traveled to see Keane
work.
The prizes will go to the Weevil
after his boast, made in the pre
sence of skeptics who made him
suit words to action, that he could
pick a bale of cotton in a week.
About 1,450 pounds of field
cotton are required to produce
one finished 500-pound bale.
The radio disc jockey entered
the field today aiming as sack
ing a full 1,500 pounds by night
fall. The extra 50 pounds, he
figured would serve as insurance
against quibblers.
Asked when he plans to go back
to work spinning records for his
radio station, Keane raised a smug
eyebrow.
“The mere thought bores me,”
he said. “I have come to like life
in the open air.
“Perhaps,” he continued leftily,
“I will buy the station with my
winnings and let somebody else
spin records while I loll on some
sunlit beach. On the other hand,”
he added, “I may make a personal
appearance tour. I hear they love
me in St. Joe.”

Racial Issue Now Entered
In Child Labor Controversy
(Editor’s note: On yesterday’s
editorial page, a newsletter from
Sixth District Representative
Olin E. Teague told of his efforts
to facilitate child labor by testi
fying before a house committee
in favor of it. This story by
Associated Press Washington
correspondent Tex Easley seeks
to point out further views on the
issue.)
Washington, Aug. 9—(2?)—Be
hind the recent congressional argu
ment over child labor in cotton
fields is a, racial issue.
Involved is a bill which would
permit state and local authorities
to use their own judgment whether
children under 16 should be per
mitted to pick cotton during school
hours.
Secretary of Labor Maurice To
bin opposes the legislation. West
Texas farmers and school officials
declare there will be havoc and
waste in West Texas cotton fields
unless the measure passes.
Migrate Workers
There is a racial angle because
most of the workers involved are
migrant Latin-American families
who come from the Rio Grande
Valley to work in West Texas
cotton fields.
Sam Allen of Lamesa, summing
up the views of a group of West
Texans who came to urge passage
of the legislation, said:
“We certainly are not opposed
to the Latin-American children
getting an education. What we
are trying to do now is show gov
ernment officials we have a ser
ious and practical problem to face.
“We need the cotton, for the
defense effort. We will have the
cotton, but we face a serious risk.
It won’t get picked if they won’t
relax the present ban against hir
ing those under 16 during school
hours.
“Crew chiefs who bring in this
help each year tell us now that
(they will have difficulty recruiting
all the help we will need. Those
men won’t come up if they can’t
bring their families, and they can’t
afford to come with the children
unless all of them are working.
“The result is that they, as well
as the farmer with the crop to
pick, suffer financial hardships.”
Tobin hold the Texans he felt
that enough help would be pro
vided under the Mexican farm labor
treaty.

Farm Crops
Austin, Aug. 9—(A 5 )—Texas’
searing drouth fingered its way
upstate to the northwest’s dryland
crops this week, the United States
Department of Agriculture report
ed today.
Throughout the state crop pros
pects and pastures deteriorated
still further.
Widely scattered showers
brought only spotted temporary re
lief.
Cotton was opening premature
ly in central, eastern and southern
counties.
Range and pasture feed was
browning in all areas except in
northwest favored spots.
Virtually all cotton in the state,
except irrigated areas, urgently
need rain, although early crops in
the southern half of the state are
too advanced to be benefited,
USD A said.
The soaring temperatures and
withering pastures brought shrink
age of livestock. Stock water haul
ed was increasing in the east and
southeast as many surface tanks
and creeks ran dry.
families in great numbers this
year remains to be seen. The ef
fect of large numbers, as occurred
last year, was related by another
member of the visiting Texans.
Dismiss Schools
“When we have a large influx,”
said Roy Boyd, superintendent of
county schools in Lubbock county,
“we simply have to dismiss school.
“We don’t have the buses to pick
them up, the classrooms to accom
modate them nor enough teachers
to handle them. That, of course,
penalizes our own permanently en
rolled children whose parents are
taxed to keep the school doors
open.”
Tom Sutherland of Austin, head
of the Texas Council on Human
Relations, recently conferred with
state department officials on re
lated problems.
The former head of the Texas
Good Neighbor Commission told
the state department that Texans
are making a genuine effort to
give Latin-Americans a better deal^
Improve Relations
He supplied officials with copies
of a booklet issued by the council
telling of the efforts of his /
ganization to improve relations V.
tween English speaking and Span
ish-speaking peoples. The publi
cation says that along the South
Texas border these two great cul
tures run up against each other,
creating a problem unlike that any
where else in the Western hemis
phere.
Among the officials with whom
Sutherland talked was Tom Mann.
Formerly of Laredo, now assist
ant secretary of state in charge
of Latin-American affairs. Mann
accepted copies of the booklet to
distribute to American embassies
in the hemisphere, in the hope it
would counter some of the often-
heard reports below the border
that Texans treat peoples of Latin-
i American blood unfairly.
