“DAMN THE DEMONSTRATORS”
The 7th Fleet ammunition supply ship Virgo displays a new
paraphrase of the old Navy line “Damn the torpedoes—full
speed ahead.” The Virgo’s banner says “Damn the demon

To Past Dean Of Agriculture
Local businessmen, former stu
dents and associates paid tribute
Tuesday night to Charles N.
Shepardson, former Texas A&M
dean of agriculture who recently
announced his retirement from
the Federal Reserve System
board of governors.

preciation dinner, sponsored by
University National Bank and
several of Shepardson’s former
students, included presentation of
a plaque and reading of a resolu
tion prepared by the local bank
ing fraternity.
The resolution noted “Gover
nor” Shepardson has “shouldered
a heavy burden of financial and
fiscal responsibility” and while at
Texas A&M “contributed immea
surably to the development of
agriculture in the State of Texas
and in the nation.”
, Shepardson, who now resides in
Washington, D. C., had been par
ticipating in Texas A&M’s three-
day financial management con
ference which concluded Tuesday.
He was appointed to the Fed
eral Reserve Board in 1955 after
serving more than 27 years at
Texas A&M, the last 11 as dean
of agriculture.
Shepardson is a native of Lit
tleton, Colo., and a graduate of
Colorado State College where he
also taught for eight years before
joining the A&IM faculty.

invited to participate in the Hill
Junior College Rodeo Club’s

day, May 5-6.
The rodeo performances are the

AUSTIN <A>) _ The Senate
Finance Subcommittee approved
today a one-year spending bill
calling for $436 million from the
general revenue fund, which
could mean a tax increase of $11
million during the next fiscal
year.
Sen. A. M. Aikin Jr. of Paris,
chairman of the Finance Commit
tee, said he would ask full com
mittee approval of the Senate bill
Thursday.
LT. GOV. PRESTON Smith,
meeting with the subcommittee
and newsmen in his office just
prior to the start of the Senate
session, said he would ask the
Senate to consider both the one-
year bill and a two-year appropri
ation measure, which has been on
the Senate calendar for more than
a month.
It called for spending $846.8
million from general revenue.
“I want the Senate to make a
choice which they favor,” Smith
said.
AFTER THE Senate Finance
Committee had approved the two-
year appropriation bill, Gov. John
Connally asked the legislature to
provide funds for running state
government for only one year.
He said he would call the leg
islature back in special session
next year to find money for the
second year of the biennium.
Included in the one-year bill is
some $12 million for salary in
creases for state employes.
ning Department of the Domini
can Secretary of Agriculture,
Gonzalez also is coordinator of
training programs for the secre
tary of agriculture. The depart
ment also is responsible for on
going programs, Beach com
mented.
Dr. Jarvis Miller, chief of
A&M’s party for contract opera
tions in the Dominican Republic,
said Gonzalez’ office prepares
agricultural development plans
and coordinates activities of all
agencies in the agricultural sec
tor, including credit, water re
sources, cooperative promotion
and agrarian reform.
Dr. Miller said a major problem
of the department is lack of
trained personnel. He noted that
A&M’s goal will provide 100
bachelor of science trained agri
cultural scientists and workers.
Thirty-seven Dominican stu
dents are completing their first
year of study at A&M, Miller
pointed out. Carlos Aquino is
Dominican coordinator for the
students.
Beach announced 27 additional
Dominican students are scheduled
to arrive at A&M May 28 for a
