For Republicans in Texas
BY the Associated Press

ARDMORE, Okla, Oct. 15.-Har-
old E. Stassen carried the .Republi-
can Party campaign into neighbor-
ing Texas today after a streamlined

The former Minnesota Governor

then moves into New Mexico, where
he will give hand to Patrick j
Hurley in his race for the Senate.
Mr.. Stassen concluded his Okla
homa campaign here last night after

and Norman.
Before a University Of Oklahoma

istration for failure to carry out g
firm American foreign policy anc
blamed the "ornery, obnoxious for.
elgn policy of Russia as the principa

Teachers Union Seeks
|Cost-of-Living Raise
And Sick-leaye Plan

The Teachers, Union, Local No. 8
(AFL), has embarked on q program
which it hopes will result in a cost
of-living increase for public school
teachers here, a sick leave plan and
correction of certain 'inequities" In
the present salary scale.
Meeting last night at the Meridian
Hill Hotel the union, composed of
teachers in the public schools,
adopted objectives for this school
year.
Heading the objectives will be an
effort to get q salary increase for
teachers who, with other District
employees, were passed over at the
last session of Congress even hough
Federal workers received cost-of-
living increases. Also considered
of major importance is q sick-leave
plan for teachers. The Board of
Education has approved both of
these measures but failed in at
tempts to get them passed at the
last session.
The union said 1t wanted all reg
ular salary increases to teachers
based on longevity only. The COM

Huge Lake in Midst Of Prairie
Points Up Texans Super|utives

of 379, ,967 tourists swelled the travel
year figure to 2,150,4ll for the first
II months.
With September,s lush visitors
crops still to be reported, the Lake
Texoma area is cinch to break the
estimate made by local officials q
year ago of 2,250,00 visitors.
Lake Texoma, a project costing
upwards Of 100000, 900, was created
primarily for the purpose of control
ling the frequently rampant waters
Of the Red River and the smaller
Washita River which empties into
1t. Equally as important to the in
dustrial development of this thriv-
ing area Is the generation of elec-
trio power.
Largest Dam of Its Type.
The worlds largest earthen roll
fill dam holds back the huge volume
Of storage water that affords North
Texas ample electricity and some of
the best fishing and boating west of
the Mississippi. We were passengers
on the first day of service for small
pleasure Steamer-a model Missis-
sippi River packet boat, with stern
paddle wheel. Denison's new boat
industry already is producing power
and sail craft that dot the lake with
a new kind of speed demon. A
natural sand bathing beach often
accommodates 1,5OO bathers at a
time in midsummer
The Army Engineers planned and
built the great dam and lock of this
project, which former Speaker Ray
burn persuaded Congress and for
mer Interior Secretary Harold L.
Ickes was indispensable to future
development of the area. That was
back in the prewar years. Con-
struction of the dam was begun in
1889. and the project was finished
in 1914.
Lake Texoma gets its name be-
cause part of 1t is in Texas and part
in Oklahoma. In fact, much to the
chagrin of Texans, those grasping
Oklahomans are claiming two thirds
OF the lake area and small inter-
state warfare is looming.
1900 Miles of Shore Line.
Here is a lake of 100000 acres in
the midst Of lovely prairie, bor-
dered on all sides by wooded areas
So irregular Is the shore line that
there are actually 1900 miles of 1t,
including large islands. Fish and
game are plentiful.
Seven miles from Denison Is the
city of Sherman. Each has about
Is, 900 population, and it won't be
many years before they'll be grow
ing into each other. They are out
standing examples of what has been
happening in the Southwest in re-
cent years. Both have experienced
better than 1914 per cent increases
in population since the 1910 census.
There has been considerable expan-
sion of industries, especially in the
field of food processing.

Rabbi Says Jews Place
Loyalty 10 U. ). First

An increasing number OF Jews ire
sent the effort being made to super
impose upon American Jewry a
sense of obligation to the State of
Israel" Rabbi Irving F. Reichert of
San Francisco, vice president of the
American Council for Judaism, said
last night.
Judaism is a universal religion in
which are represented nationals of
many lands,' he pointed out in an
address to the Washington chapter
of his organization.
For American Jews. there can
be only one national interest and
one national loyalty-to the United
States. -
Rabbi Reichert acknowledged diff
ferences of opinion in American
Jewry and said Jewish nationalists

Among the other objectives

DENISON, Texas (By Air MaiD -
So this Is Texas! I.
Some so newspaper and magazine
writer's and business observers
stared with mixed emotions out of
windows as the Katy Special" op-
Grated by the pioneer Missouri
Kansas-Texas Railway to point up
the vast industrialization program
of the Southwest, pulled into this
north gateway to the Great I AM
State.
A few miles back we had left lusty
Oklahoma behind us. We had Just
crossed the famed Red River, where
so many border bad men had crossed
in years gone by just a jump ahead
of the sheriff, and where countless
cow-herds had breasted its waters
on the long, hard trail northward
from which no marketable animal
critter ever returned. From st.
Louis on, we had listened to tall
tales spun by equally tall Texans
aboard the Katy Special"
So we are fully prepared for al
most anything on this tour, because
almost anything can happen and
does happen in this land of super
latives called Texas.
Now lot of us had never heard
of Denison before, or we knew Of it
only as a town stuck in the midst
of the prairie. We were beginning
to learn that some allowance for
exaggeration should be made In
accepting verbatim all the things
we've been hearing about this truly
remarkable country. So there were
knowing smiles when one stout
hearted booster proudly proclaimed
that the town was going to change
its name to "Denison-by-the Sea. u
What sea?" we asked, looking
over the prairie.
You'll see, soon enough" he

Lake Texoma is responsible for

that are bringing lots OF money and
