Shivers Seeks
Third Term
As Governor
AUSTIN, April 19 —UP)—
A terse two-line statement to
day put Allan Shivers into his
third race for governor, but
friends of House speaker Reu
ben Senterfitt ran into legal dif
ficulties when they sought to file
his name as a candidate.
Shivers is seeking his third elec
tive term as governor. His action
in running three times in a row is
unusual, but other governors have
sought three elective terms.
Mrs. Miriam A. (Ma) I^erguson
tried five times: in 1924, 1926, 19-
30, 1932 and 1940.
A petition seeking to have Sen-
terfitt’s name placed on the July
24 Democratic primary ballot was
rejected by George Sandlin, sec
retary of the State Executive
Committee, here today on grounds
it was improperly prepared.
He said among other things it
failed to include the endorsement
of the candidate, giving his con
sent, as required by law.
The petition was signed by more
than 25 citizens and was accom
panied by a cashier’s check for $60,
the filing fee. A Democratic com
mittee spokesman said there was
no effort to block the filing, but
that applications had to conform
to legal requirements.

year 5,000 to 10,000 letters and so
many telephone calls and personal
contacts no count could be kept.
Stevens said the Army receives
more than 50,000 requests and in
quiries annually from congressmen
and others. Anderson estimated
the Navy receives about 57,000
written inquiries from congress
men each year. Talbott placed at
about 67,000 the number of written
and oral inquiries and requests
yearly the Air Force receives from
Congress and other sources, plus
another 18,000 handled at various
bases throughout the United

Dropped By Parr
BROWNSVILLE, Tex., April 20
—(A 5 )—George B. Parr today asked
that the assault to murder charge,
against Texas Ranger Capt. Alfred
Y. Allee be dismissed. It was dis
missed.
Parr told Dist. Judge Arthur
Klein that as complaining witness
it “is my desire not to further
prosecute the case.” The com

or any resentment or any kind of
ill feeling and I’d like to see the
case against him dismissed.”

Allee and Parr shook hands after
Allee got up and said, “I’m sorry
the case came up but* I want you
to know I was doing my duty as
a peace officer.” He addressed this
remark to Judge Klein.
The state and defense attorneys
agreed to the dismissal although
Cameron County Atty. F. T. Gra
ham complained “It looks like you
are making a football out of justice
when you come down here to try
a case and then everybody gets
together and makes up their diffi
culties and says ‘let’s dispiiss it.’
“I’m not going to be the only
man to say ‘Let’s go to trial’ ”
Graham said in open court. “I
didn’t ask for this trouble. This
case was dumped on me on a
change of venue. If the 79th Dis
trict attorney wants to dismiss it,
it’s all right. He’s the man who
got the indictment.”
A jury had been selected to try
Alice for assault to murder Parr.
