WASHINGTON </P)—A west
Texas attorney, here for a con
gressional hearing, says the at-
. tacks on Sen. Lyndon Johnson by
Sen. William E. Proxmire (D-Wis.)
and Democratic National Chairman
Paul Butler have boomeranged.
“That’s certainly been the re
sult out in my part of the state,”
Lloyd Croslin of Lubbock, a for
mer district attorney, said.
“Their attacks have widened the
middle-of-the-road group which
has long backed Lyndon.”
Croslin, a secretary to Rep.
George Mahon (D-Tex.) from 1935
to 1940 while studying law, testi
fied before a house Interior sub
committee against a bill, that
would destroy retroactively, prior
ity rights on certain oil and gas
leases in the public domain.
He appeared specifically on be
half of a client, Mrs. Christine El
liott of Shallowater, Tex., who had
applied for an oil and gas lease on
four sections in Lea County, N.M.,
and had been given notice that her
offer had No. 1 priority.

girls attending the Journalism
Conference now on the campus.
Coming to Aggieland was an ex
citing as well as an interesting
trip for the students of Birdville
High School in Fort Worth. .5 •
Upon' arriving, we immediately
began admiring:-the beautiful scen
ery and extremely luxurious Me
morial Student Center.
Everyone then began the much-
dreaded chore of unpacking and
discovering the articles that had
been left behind.
We then began touring the beau
tiful campus. Much to our sur
prise we found the Aggies very
friendly, polite and very proud of
their campus and institution.
Although most of us had only
been here a day, we soon found
ourselves being escorted onto a
FeautifUl ; terrace at the Memory
ial Student Center for a dance,
with music furnished by Johnny
Lyons and the Nu-Notes.
As the days quickly pass, we
feel more and more that our stay
here has been both educational as
well as entertaining.

including promptness, honesty,
fairness, intelligence and common
sense.
d. To develop a deep sense of
responsibility, honor and integrity
and to cultivate habits of cheerful
