My criticism of your theme was meant to be constructive!” TEXANS IN WASHINGTON Texas House Members Spared Re districting Worry By TEX EASLEY Associated Press Special Service WASHINGTON —Texas House members—unlike some from sev eral other states—are spared the worry of redistricting. Under the 1960 census, Texas gains one seat in the House for a total membership of 23. It’s up to the legislature to decide which counties will comprise the new district. Since the state lawmakers have not decided on a new district, the candidates for the new—23rd seat —will be forced to run at-large. This means all of the state’s voters, rather than those in only a single district, will determine the winner. This has happened before in Texas—in 1952 and for several years thereafter. Former Rep. ■» Martin Dies served as representa tive-at-large until Harris County was divided. Eventual creation of the new district resulted in the election of Rep. Bob Casey who, with Rep. Albert Thomas, now represents the Houston area. The troublesome redistricting situation faced by several larger delegations, among them New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois, is because they lose House represen tation and their respective legisla tures have not yet redistricted. If they fail to do by the 1962 election—a distinct possibility—all incumbents seeking reelection must run at-large. And, while some in cumbents are well entrenched in their districts, they are not as well known state wide. The latter is a factor that could lead to their defeat by opponents more widely known. * =i= * Talk of Texas congressional races in 1962 already has begun in view of the possibility of sev eral new faces in the state’s dele gation: Rep. Paul Kilday of San Antonio is expected to resign his seat in September to become a judge of the U. S. Court of Military Ap peals. The court convenes in October. Rep. Frank Ikard of Wichita Falls is expected to take over the post of executive vice president of the American Petroleum Institute after this session of Congress ad journs although API officials and Ikard—at this time—acknowledge only that discussions regarding such an appointment are under way. 'I Rep. Jim Wright of Fort Worth, ‘ a runner-up in the special sena torial election this spring,j con tinues to get mail from those wanting him to run for governor next year. He says he is consider ing it. Rep. Joe Kilgore of McAllen, who - has been suffering back in juries, says he isn’t sure he will seek reelection. He expects to de cide in September. Robert L.

Fishing GALVESTON—A scientist from Turkey was a recent student in Galveston learning commercial fishing research techniques under a fellowship from the United States. The scientist is Mrs. Bedia Taneri of Istanbul. She is assist- andt director of the Istanbul fish eries directorate. “I am here to study your or ganization and administration at the research laboratories, and to learn new methods and techniques that I can apply to my own work in Turkey,” she said. Galveston was the only Texas Catfish Biting P&G Soap In the Brazos Blue, yellow and channel catfish are being caught with an assort ment of bait on the Brazos River with trotlines and throwlines. Ellis Folson of the campus secur ity, said the blue and channel cat fish range from 1-15 pounds with some of the yellow catfish tipping the scales at 30*pounds. Folson reported that grass hoppers have produced some nice catches in the past two weeks. P&G soap and small perch are also good bait. When the river is on a sharp rise or falling rapidly, fishing is best. Throwlines are very inex pensive to make and the material can be bought at any sporting goods or hardware store. city included in the scientist’s itinerary and one of three in the United States. The other cities were Seattle, Wash., and Ann Arbor, Mich. “In Isttanbul, I am in charge of fisheries research, where an ex tensive program in biological and technological research is carried out,” Mrs. Taneri said. Prior to her visit in Galveston, she visited stations of the Fish eries Research Board of Canada. During four months’ stay in Canada, she traveled from the east coast of St. John’s, Halifax, St. Andrew’s, Montreal and Quebec, to the west coast as far as Vancouver. She worked in Galveston with the laboratories of the U. S. Bureau of Commercial Fisheries (Fish and Wild Life Commission), under Dr. George Rounsefell, di rector of the government’s bio logical laboratory at Ft. Crockett, and other scientists. “The economy of our country depends to a great extent on fishes,” Mrs. Taneri explained, “and it is important that we study life histories and population dy namics of important species of fishes.” Her studies included salt water, fresh water and shell fish. In Turkey, the Bonito (tuna) is the most impoi'tant of all fishes, ac cording to Mrs. Taneri. She was educated in New York, having received her B.A. degree at Hunter College, and her master of science at New York University. “No matter where you go in Turkey today, you will find women serving as doctors, judges, pro fessors, teachers, lawyers, engi neers, architects, artists and skilled musicians,” she said.
