Textbook Board
Hears Bidders
Present Claims

AUSTIN. Feb. 11.=tP-Repre-
%sentatives OF five companies bidding
for the state public school geography
textbook contract spoke their va
rloUs claims before the State Text
book Commission which finished its
three-day session Saturday.
John T. Price, Paris, Ky, spokes-
man Of the American Book COM
panv, which now holds the contract
and seeks renewal, claimed that a
change would cost the state around
twenty cents a copy for approxi-
mately 100000 now in use.
This contention was denied by J.
s. Phillips, Dallas, of the Mcmillan
company, who asserted the state law
allowing gradual introduction Of
new books over a three-year period
would prevent an increased cost TO
the state.
The American ccmpany's proposal,
although lower than its present fig-
ure. is higher than any other. Frank
Adrian. Dallas. another salesman for
the American organization, pointed
out that ne had offered to cut prices
on books for seven other courses IL
the commission will readopt his
geography textbook for another six
years.
The commission viii not vote be-
fore Monday on awards proposed for
books in eleven courses.

to committee on public interna-

gress by Orestes Ferrara, Cuban am
bassador at Washington, on the for
malities concerned with the con-
clusion, observation and denouncing

surrounded the conclusion Of a treaty
disappear or are fundamentally al
tered. then one Of the parties may de-
nounce the agreement, leaving arbi-
tration as the only of the
other party ii not agreeable to the
announcement.
The second innovation would open
all Pan-American conventions to adj
hesion of all countries il the original
signatories were agreeable to such an
extension.
