As Top Pathologist
Wiley N. Garrett, ’57, now work

University of Minnesota has been
recognized as one of the nation’s
most outstanding young scholars in
plant pathology.
He has been awarded a Rocke
feller Foundation Research Fellow
ship to continue his studies and do
research on genetic variation of
the fungus that causes the wheat
stem rust disease.
Garrett grew up on a farm near
Rosebud and graduated from Rose
bud High School in 1953. He re
ceived his B.S. degree in agricul
tural education in 1957 and his
M.S. degree in plant pathology in

under the direction of Dr. M. C.
Futrell of the Department of Plant
Physiology and Pathology.
During his last two years of
undergraduate work at A&M, Gar
rett was employed as a student re
search assistant by the Texas Ag
ricultural Experiment Station and
by the Agricultural Research Serv
ice of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
While studying for his master’s
degree, he was the co-author of
four research articles.
The Rockefeller Foundation Re
search Fellowship carries a stipend
of $5,880 annually and permits the
student to take six hours per se
mester toward the Ph.D. degree.
Garrett was chosen for the
award on the basis of his demon
strated ability, initiative, curiosity
and enthusiasm in the field of
plant pathology research.
Petrified trees (where geologic
action changes the wood to agate)
are still found in northeast Ari

sually hard rock to make arrow
heads.

Lewis Screams Labor Control Bills
Will Reduce Worker’s Citizen Status
WASHINGTON OP)_John L.
Lewis thundered Wednesday that
labor control bills before Congress
would “fasten a cast-h-on chastity
belt around the waists” of Amer
ican workers.
The 79-year-old United Mine
Workers chief told a House Labor
subcommittee all these proposals
to curb union corruption would re
duce workers to second-class citi
zens. He said there are plenty of
laws already in effect to handle
corruption.
“Play fairly, ye givers of the
law,” he counseled.
Lewis dismissed the abuses spot
lighted in Senate rackets hearings
as isolated cases, and involving
only “the dregs of the labor move
ment.”
He likened the special Senate
committee, headed by Sen. John
L. McClellan (D-Ark), to “the
SKTAR Chamber under the Tudor
kings, with a touch of the Span
ish Inquisition.”
Lewis showed his old fighting
style, delivering his arguments
with a barbed thrust that made
the committee members wary in
their questioning.
At one point, he was asked why
Teamsters Union members elect
James R. Hoffa to office.
Staring meaningfully at the
committee, Lewis retorted: “1
often wonder how many people,
barring those in labor unions, are
elected to office.”
“I believe when you tamper
with the liberties of 70 million
workers you’re tampering with the
liberties of all Americans,” Lewis
said. “Damn the chains and those
who advocate them.”
Pending labor control proposals
are backed by the rich against the
poor, Lewis said.
“Eighty-eight pages of misery
for members of labor unions,” was
the way Lewis described a bill
sponsored by Chah’man Graham
Barden (D-NC) of the House
Labor Committee.
A beautiful southern magnolia
tree grows near the south entrance
to the White House in Washing
ton. It was planted by President
Andrew Jackson as a tribute to his
wife, Rachel.

TEN MILLION -
BILLION TO ONE..
''J.
As for a bill already passed by
the Senate, Lewis said this meas
ure is “more refined and delicate,
and the misery isn’t quite so
strong.”
The bills generally would re
quire detailed reporting of union
fund-handling to the government
and would require unions to follow
democratic practices, with the sec
retary of labor given broad powers
to enforce the safeguards.
