AUSTIN, CP)—Gov. Daniel had
a close brush with tragedy yester
day when a big chunk of frescoe
crumbled from a ceiling in the
Mansion and fell near him.
The governor was standing at
the foot of the mansion’s impos
ing- and slightly shaky - stairway
in the main hall when the plaster
dropped from the second floor
ceiling.
It bounced on the stairs, where
several women were standing,
broke into three pieces, and show
ered dust and debris over guests
at a tea. The morning affair was
in honor of the governor’s sister,
Miss Ellen Daniel and his aunts,
Miss Bessie Partlow and Miss
Miriam Partlow of Midland.
Mrs. Daniel was standing in a
doorway nearby, but was not in
direct line of the fall.
Workmen were rushed to begin
immediately on a repair job that
the governor said was long over
due. He and his family will con

Foster, Gleason
Chosen to Head
4 Vet’ Company
A tentative list of officers
and non - commissioned offi
cers for the newly organized
“A” Veterinary Company was
announced last night in a com
pany meeting held in the Memorial
Student Center.
John Foster will be commanding
officer With Ivan “Rusty” David
son as executive officer. Ed Pigott
will be a platoon leader.
Jerry Gleason will serve as first
sergeant with Clark Mulkey and
Everett Howard as platoon ser-
g e a n t s. Barney Stumbo and
Ralph Vosdingh will be supply ser
geant and scholastic sergeant re
spectively.
“Our goal is to win the General
Moore Trophy for being the best
outfit on the campus,” Foster
said. “We should have the best
grades in the corps and should
have one of the biggest outfits so
we ought to do all right in intra-
murals and extra curricular activ
ities.”
According to the registrar’s of
fice 42 freshmen have signed up
to major in pre-veterinary medi
cine next year. Foster said he ex
pects this number to rise to 60 by
September. The outfit will have
about 20 upperclassmen.
The company will be attached to
the third battalion of the second
regiment. Maj. Edward L. Scott
will be the tactical officer.
tjnue to occupy the 102 year
residence the state furnishes
governors.
“I’m sure glad to see the Lord
is still wdth us,” Daniel said. “That
was a close one.”
Mrs. Daniel first ran to see if
her husband was unharmed. Then
the governor’s pretty and poised
wife took the mishap calmly and
with a touch of humor. As depart
ing guests told her what a nice
party it was, she replied:
“It certainly was different.” The
hall ceiling was not replaced when
other rooms in the mansion were
replaced several years ago.
“This work has been recom
mended for several years,” the
governor said, “But the appropria
tion from the Legislature was
never enough to do the job.
“For at least the last six years
it has been a safety rule not to
allow more than 25 persons at a
time on the stairway. The stair
way leans and the Sam Houston
bedrooms leans. All of that needs
fixing.”
The big Georgian mansion got
its first modern face lifting in
1953. Outmoded electrical wiring
was replaced, the plumbing im
proved and a great deal of re
decorating done.
State Nears
For Double
4 Yes’-
Tuition.
AUSTIN, (/P)—The Senate yesterday shoved to within
one step of final passage a bill doubling the tuition in state
colleges and universities.
Sen. Jarrard Secrest of Temple, sponsor of the bill ap
proved by the House, said he expected to get final passage
Wednesday by voice vote. The extra money the bill would
bring in has been earmarked
for public school teachers’ pay
raises.
The measure was given
temporary approval by a vote
of 13-10, with six senators paired,
or 16-13.. Opponents indicated
earlier they could not stop it but
the Senate returned in some appre
hension that a filibuster might be
forthroming. The vote to lay out
the bill for debate was 18-8.
Sen. Jimmy Phillips and Sen.
Culp Krueger who spearheaded the
opposition, spoke for about 10 min
utes each against the bill.
“I challenge members that think
this is a good place to get money
to go out to the university and look
at some of those married couples
living in tar paper apartments .
the young married mothers attend
ing classes with the babies in bas-
inetts,” Krueger said.
