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.

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

who - has been suffering back in
juries, says he isn’t sure he will
seek reelection. He expects to de
cide in September.

Turkish Scientist Learns IL S. 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.

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.
