An Easy Solution
From the amount of smoke issuing from the discussion
of Senator W- T. (Bill) Moore’s bill concerning another coun
ty judge for Brazos County people in the county are begin
ning to feel their already tax-burdened wallets and wonder
just what good would be served by the creation of this judge-
ship.
Let’s think about what the people of the county are
faced with at the present time—the payment for our mod
ern courthouse which 'tae needed so badly and of which our
people are so proud, but—it is not paid for yet, and the use
of the $20,000 or so dollars which would be cost of this court
would be a bit more than a ‘‘drop in the bucket” in meeting
the payments for the courthouse.
What about maintenance? The county is faced with an
ever-increasing overhead in keeping roads, right-of-way and
other construction up to par.
Instead of trying to figure out a way to spend more
money which the people of the county can ill afford let’s look
at the problem which the District 85 Court and our County
Court face.
The crux of the whole problem dates back some 50 years.
At that time the people felt the need for the set-up our Coun
ty Court operates under today. They had a need for the
splitting of powers then, but today, Judge A. S. Ware is a cap
able and learned man who is fully able to meet the obligations
which the position of a full-fledged County judge entails.
Why not arrive at a simple solution to this problem and
just ask the people of our county to get the law changed
back to the way it was prior to 1917 and return the power to
Judge Ware’s position, that of a county judge at-law.

EARLY SPRING FEVER—David McLain, junior in the Maroon Band “pads out” com
pletely Tuesday afternoon getting an early case of spring fever. He is one of many
Aggies who are getting the same disease to start the semester “right”.
Israel Asks What
Mr. Nasser Plans
UNITED NATIONS, UP)—Israel
announced yesterday it has asked
Secretary General Dag Hammar-
skjold to inquire whether Egypt
will refrain from belligerent acts
upon the withdrawal of Israeli
forces from Egypt.
The request was contained in a
three-point proposal handed Mon
day to Hammarskjold by Israeli
Ambassador Abba Eban. Ham
marskjold had asked Eban when
Israel would comply with Assem
bly resolutions to evacuate all of
Egypt.
Israel is awaiting Egypt’s reac
tion. She is standing firm on her
demand for guarantees before
yielding the Sharm el Sheikh area
on the Gulf of Aqaba and before
even considering an arrangement
on the Gaza Strip.
These disclosures were made as
Egypt argued for an early Assem
bly meeting to take up thee con
tinued- presence of Israeli troops
in the Sharm el Sheikh and the
Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, the question of the
Suez Canal came to the front. Sir-
Pierson Dixon of Britain, and
Guillaume Georges — Picot of
Frence, went to Hammarskjold
with a request for an early re
sumption of conferences looking
toward a settlement. The Canal,
blocked in the invasion of Egypt
by Britain and France last fall, is
expected to be cleared for light
shipping by March.
The U. S. delegation, committed
by President Eisenhower and Sec
retary of State Dulles to a hope
that Israel will withdraw, was
vigorously opposing efforts to con
vene the Assembly today or later
this week. U. S. sources said a
debate now would only aggravate
the already tense situation and
even might hinder Hammarskjold’s
efforts to end the impasse. ■
Hammarskjold was working un
der mandate of two resolutions
approved by the Assembly Satur
day. One called on Israel for the
sixth time to complete withdrawal
from Egypt. The second called on
Israel and Egypt to uphold their
1949 armistice and charted a
broad course on which Hammar
skjold might work for agreement.
County Court-At-Law Controversy
(Continued from Page 1)
The question of how the new
court would be supported has came
up many times. John Barron,
Judge McDonald, Sandstedt and
others expressed belief that
revenue from court costs and fines
in the new court would cover ex
penses.
An opposite view was taken by
attorney R. V. Armstrong, who
said he “didn’t see how the court
could pay for itself.’
Armstrong listed three major
objections which he said that he
had found about the bill. They
were (1) the questionable neces
sity of the court, (2) whether state
law should fix the salary, or should
the commissioners court be al
lowed to set it as they do other
salaries and (3) should the judge
of the court at law get more pay
than the county judge.
“I don’t think that the office
would he more important than
that of the county judge,” Arm
strong said. “I don’t see that he
should be paid more.”
John Barron pointed out that the
two offices, while alike in name,
are different in nature. One deals
with business matters in the
county, and the other handles the
judicial proceedings in the county.
At present, the office of county
judge carries a $6,000 per year
salary. Proposed pay for the new
office is $8,400.
In spite of the many different
opinions on the controversial bill
before the house of representa
tives, the bill will become law, if
Rep. Dewey sponsors it and it is
passed and signed.
Vet Magazine
To Have One Chief
Action was comparatively light
at Tuesday afternoon’s m e e t i n g
of the Student Publications Board
in the ground floor of the YMCA.
One tradition will “go by the
board” when next year only one
editor will be named to head the
Southwestern Veterinarian, publi
cation of the School of Veterinary
Medicine.
For the past several years two
men have served as co-editors of
the publication. Delhfar Cassidy
and Kenneth R. Pierce are editors
this year.
The. move came from a recom
mendation by Pierce and Cassidy
who based their opinion on the
loss of efficiency.
Other action by the SPB in
cluded letting a contract for the
1958 Aggieland which was approv
ed for Taylor Publishing Co. of
Dallas, for $25,296.38.
The Board approved the addition
of 32 pages in the ’57 Aggieland
with provisions for color to be
included as the same for the ’56
annual.

Agronomists Tour
Rio Grande Valley
Forty-two junior and senior
agronomy students, accompanied by
three faculty members, spent three

made theii; hop deep into the valley
and finally into Mexico. Several
farms and citrus ranches were
