Repercussions from Woodrow
Bean’s announcement Saturday
that he has not filed income tax
returns in 10 years continued
Tuesday to affect the 10-man
race for Texas’ new congressman-
at-large.
Bean was abandoned Tuesday
by two organizations which pre
viously supported him—the exec
utive committee of the Harris
County Democrats and the State
AFL-CIO.
AFL-CIO officials urged Texas
organised labor to withdraw sup
port for Bean and instead work
for two of six other Democrats
in the race.
“Texas state COPE ‘Committee
on Political Education’ finds that
there are two good Democrats in
the race whom it feels Texas
working men and women can sup
port. One i s Phil Willis of Kauf
man. The other is Warren Moore
of Tyler,” un AFL-CIO state
ment said.
Joe Pool of Dallas said in
Houston that labor’s withdrawal
of support for Bean will gi'l
Pool a majority in the first prl
mary. Willis made a sinil
claim in Dallas as did Manlii
Head in Austin. “I will lead til
ticket in the first primary. TiE|

Correction
The headline on an announce
ment in The Battalion Tuesday
stated that graduation invita

The story following was correct
in that the invitations are now
in the MSC Craft Room and
must be picked up before May
7.
Barnhart Wants
President Votes
Editor,
The Battalion:
Tomorrow A&M students will
elect a president, vice president
and committee chairmen of the
Student Senate. Bill Barnhart
would appreciate your vote for
president. There are three other
candidates for this office. All
are outstanding men and I feel
any of the three would make a
good student body president. It
is now up to you to choose arppng
the four of us for this important
job.
This year I have served on the
Student Senate as a school repre
sentative. During the year I
have actively participated on the
Senate floor, as well as holding
two important committee assign
ments, public relations and is
sues committees, in addition to
repi'esenting the Senate on the
election commission.
The president of the student
body", formerly known as the
president of the Student Senate,
needs prior Senate experience to
effectively represent the inter
ests of the students. We can’t
afford the indecision during the
period necessary for a newcomer
to the Senate to learn the ropes.
As the only candidate with prior
Senate experience, I am well
aware of the many problems now
before the Senate.
To make the Student Senate an
effective and representative stu
dent voice, the president must
faithfully represent the ones who
elect him, namely the students.
If elected student body president,
I will work hard to protect the
interests of all students.

WASHINGTON (.Pi —The Su
preme Court, shorthanded and
struggling to wind up the term
by the end of June, may put off
some of its major decisions until
next fall.
Justice Felix Frankfurter’s an
nouncement Monday that he
would delay his return to the
court until Oct. 1 caused in
creased speculation that the next
two months may not bring final
ruling on some of these issues:
• Is reciting prayer in public
schools a violation of the Con
stitution ?
• Does the Clayton antitrust
the course of his official duties?
• Were c ' v il rights of nine
person* violated by the contempt
convictions f° r refusal to answer
questions of congressional com
mittees?
• What division will be made I

giants in the shoe industry—

Kinney Co.?
• May a corporation officer be
prosecuted under the Sherman
antitrust law for acts done in
of waters of the Colorado River, !
in the face of claims by booming
Southwest states and their mil- j
lions of residents ?
Justice Charles E. Whittaker’s |
retirement because of ill health
on Apr. 1 led the court to put
over 12 cases for reargument
next fall. Frankfurter’s decision
to rest until the new term seemed
to strengthen predictions that
more cases will be added to the
list.
Frankfurter suffered a stroke
like illness at his desk four days
after Whittaker retired. He is
reported to be improving.

No! But scientists and engineers
at Ford’s research and scientific
labs do deal in perpetual nctions
—and they have more than a few
about what might be common
place in the future, some of them
just as startling. —
Studies at Ford involving' new
energy sources and improved
materials may help bring jet-
propelled cars with gyro stabili
zers ... automatic driving controls
f .., flying automobiles and wheel-'
less vehicles that glide on a
cushion of air . . . vehicles pro
pelled by atomic energy... plastics'
with the strength of conventional
metals . .. adhesives that replace
welding ... radar and other elec
tronic controls to assist or replace
the driver in many situations. \
Basic studies in these and other
fields are just part of a continuing
program of progress aimed at
reinforcing Ford’s leadership
through scientific . research and
engineering.
