Johnson Given ‘Favorite Son’
Role By State Demos in Dallas
DALLAS—ISP'—The State Dem
ocratic Convention ended its session
last night after giving Sen. Lyndon
B. Johnson everything he wanted
but his choice for national commit
tee woman from Texas.
The senate majority leader won
by an easy 1,306 to 524 vote a dis
pute within his own coalition. The
issue was when punishment should
be handed out to party leaders who
followed Gov. Allan Shivers in his
bolt to the GOP in 1952.
Johnson teamed with House
Speaker Sam Rayburn in a com
bination of liberals and conserva
tives to oust Shivers as Democratic
leader in Texas.
An hour before the test vote on
Johnson’s power over his own
forces, the great majority of the
convention joined in a noisy 20-
minute “Johnson for president pa
rade.”
Johnson’s leadership was threat-
Street Repair Is
Plan For Summer
The Board of Directors of the
A&M College System has author
ized the college to plan and accept
bids on building and repairing sev
eral streets on the A&M campus,
according to C. K. Leighton, con
struction engineer for the college.
“A new street extending from
Bizzell St. south-west, intersecting
Spence St. and ending at Nagle
St. is being planned,” Leighton
said.
Improvements will include pav
ing Iieland St. from Ross St. to
highway 60 and paving Spence St.
from Ross St. to the day student
parking lot.
ened by liberals in his coalition
who wanted an immediate house
cleaning of the Shivers-controlled
State Democratic Executive Com
mittee. Johnson and Rayburn ad
vised that it might be illegal and
that Texas Democrats would have
a chance at the July local conven
tions and September state conven
tion to install a loyal Democrat
state committee.
The following were named as
presidential electors by the conven
tion:

Forest management in the South
will be able to absorb 250 new for
esters a year for the next five
years, Bob Rhodes of the Range
and Forestry Department, Texas
A&M College, said today.
“The interesting thing is that
most of the new jobs will probably
be in private industry,” Rhodes
said.
The Range and Forestry Depart
ment is now completing its first
year in offering two years of train
ing in forestry*. Students may take
their freshman and sophomore
work nearer home and transfer to
an accredited forestry school to
complete the requirements for a
BS degree in forestry, Rhodes says.
The State of Texas will pay the
out-of-state tuition to any accred
ited forestry school in the South
for two additional years to obtain
the degree. The state will also pay
the fare for one round-trip each
of the two years to the selected
school, Rhodes says.
