Heavy Rains Relieve
Two-Year Drought
In Southwest Texas
By the ASseciosed Press

DALLAS. Sept. 11.-Heavy rains,
gold laden for ranchers. dented
Texas two-year-old drought today
and continued in dwindling local
showers as flood threatened towns
fought back surging streams.
But for most of the State. the
long, costly drought-estimated to
have cost Texas farmers up to
$400 million-continued.
The downpours, centered in the
hill country Of Southwest Texas,
smashed down small dams and
were blamed for loss of at least
three lives.
But for the most part, they
were too late to help the stricken
cotton and grain sorghum crops.
Little of the blackland cotton
country Of the State was touched
by the rains that measured up to
11.67 inches at Fredericksburg in
the heart of the goat and sheep
country.
5 Towns Isolated.
Late last night rushing flood
waters isolated five towns in
South Central Texas when once
shriveled streams burst from their
banks.
Kerrville. Fredericksburg, John
son City, Comfort and San Saba
were cut of by high water, the
State Highway Patrol said.
F. o. Mckinney, IS, was washed
down stream when an embank-
ment collapsed beneath him. His
body lodged in a tree a quarter
mile downstream.
Two other persons died in an
auto accident blamed on a slick
highway near Beeville. At Brady
more than 1000 volunteers worked
feverishly to sandbag four block
downtown area threatened byI
rapidly-rising Brady Creek. Brady
had reported 10 inches of rain.
17-Year Record.
Before Fredericksburg became
isolated. townspeople said two
creeks which run through the
town were at flood stage and at
a mark highest since a big flood
there in 1885.
Joshua Dam, near the tiny
town of Welfare. broke and caused
a flash flood in the Guadalupe
River. A physician and his wife,
DIR. and Mrs. Joe Davis, were,
rescued from their home as 4
feet OF water poured through it.
Hennings Dam, 2 miles up
stream from Fredericksburg, burst
and threatened serious damage to-
the area.
At Llano, 3.79 inches of rain
relieved the water shortage and
partially filled a dry reservoir.
Some buildings were evacuated.
Bridges Wash Away.
Railroad and highway bridges
washed away like splinters in the
Yampaging waters Of creeks and
rivers. The Llano River was re-
ported up 80 feet and still rising,
but was not expected to do seri-
Gus damage unless it rose above
38 feet.
At Brady. the McCulloch County
town almost destroyed by a flood
In 1888, livestock owners were
warned to move their cattle to-
the highest ground possible.
Families were moved from the
lowlands.
Lower Colorado River Authority
officials estimated flood level on
the Pedernales River at Johnson
City as so feet early today. Gauges
on the river register only 40 feet.

males was at its highest level since

1852 Political Show Ends
BY RANDOLPH WHITE

When this item appears in print the vot-
ers of America will have elected new
President of these United States.
During the just ended Presidential Elec-
ton Campaign, the nation was entertained
by the noisiest verbal slug-fest ever wit
messed in Amerca--and the most stimula-
tive.
Governor Adlai E. Stevenson and Cen
erai Dwight d. Eisenhower and their ora
torical staffs shot some strong words at
each other near the close of the historic
campaign while "Eisencrats'' on the side
lines were yelling at the top of their lungs
An examination of the record will show
that many of these "Eisencrats," formerly
dyed-in-the-wool Democrats of the old
school and some with strong "Dixiecratic"
!eanings, who either deserted or gave on
ly luke-warm support to the National Dem
ocratic ticket in the 1949 Campaign
The States Fighters, led by Governor
Byrnes of South Carolina who is important
mainly because he heads the extreme re-
dictionary element of the Democratic Par
ty--a group that not only opposes Presi-
dent Trumans Administration because of
his civil rights stand, but opposes every
constructive proposal designed to bring
about the elimination of the most elemen-
tary things that bar the practice of human
rights and common decency in the South's
dealing with the Negro. Not only are these
so-called for-Eisenhower'' or
"Eisencrats" group of politicians
against granting basic fundamental rights
to Americas ebony-hued citizens, they are
anti everything else designed to improve
the lot of the common people.
Regardless of the outcome of this great
contest Governor Stevenson deserves much
credit for his courageous presentation of
his views. He pulled no punches as did
General Eisenhower, who toned down his
talks to fit the sections in which he spoke,
but talked sense" wherever he appeared
Actually, it does not matter too much
which political party is returned to power
in America. Justice will triumph in the
end Notwithstanding h "Eisencrats,"
"Dixiecrats." any of the like. A new
day is dawning in America for her down
trodden citizens and no power on earth
can stop it. So, Americans of all walks of
life must either learn to practice true de-
rlocracy or accept the fact that unless it
accords all Of it's people the same treat
ment, it will suffer self-destruction in the
end.

by whites throughout the state to change
the law, which l shall recount later. But
today ! shall explain why removing signs
does serve useful purpose.

You see, q sign is like an advertisement.
When read day after day, it sinks into
the subconscious. Absorbed since child
hood, it is the signs as much as it is the
laws in the South which have ingrained in
some individuals of both groups a deep
conviction that we must go separate ways.
Moreover, it invariably happens that
wherever signs. appear the law is more
rigidly enforced. Segregation on buses and
trains is increasingly unpopular in both
groups and is beginning to be successfully
disregarded by both. invariably sit be-
side Negro friend If see one ON a bus
and have yet to- be asked to move.
l have repeatedly, in the last year, seen
Negroes mount bus in Charlottesville, sit
more than half way up front when there
were abundant empty seats in the back
and ride to Richmond with no hint of un-
pleasantness from driver or passengers.
This could not happen if a sign continual
~ proclaimed that their action was vio-
lation of the law. For it is the bus drivers
duty to uphold all laws, and in failing to
enforce this one, he is consciously and
willfully sticking out his neck.
Finally, / for one, do not feel inclined
to dismiss lightly the affront to human
dignity which results when a printed pub
lie order invades our personal liberties. IF
our freedom of choice must be curtailed,
let it at least be done without posters.
If the segregation signs had been al
lowed to remain on the new buses in Char
lottesville the community would have suf-
fered many small but lamentabe losses. 1t
would have given new impetus to segrega-
ton at a time when, by common, silent
consent it is rapidly breaking down.
Next week we shall tell of efforts made
in the white group to remove the state
law.

this was another attempt to mislead the

CORRECTION

In my column for October rs, print
ing error was made which reverses the
import Of the data concerning Virginia
In reporting the results of the poll of the
42,500 white southern docte Is concern
ing the admission OF Negro doctors to
medical societies, my original manuscript
stated: "In Virginia 68 per cent gave an
unqualified yes 25 per cept an unqual-
flied mo- and per cent gave qualified
approval"
The printer skipped four words and
stated, "In Virginia, GO per cent gave an
unqualified mo-" This was a serious IL
bel on Virginia's liberality, which is
nothing to boast about, anyhow. Missis-
sippi which, as usual, gave the most
prejudiced return of all Southern states,
only gave SO per cent of unqualified
noes. It's quite bad enough that Is, per
cent of Virginia's white doctors should
turn thumbs down on democracy. Let's
not label them more than two and half
times as bad as they really are.

Dear White Southerner: Much time was
spent last September to get segregation
signs removed from local buses. But, as the
tradition of segregation is still exercised
removal of signs merely covers up the
truth. Why wasn't petition started to dis
miss the practice of segregation as we'll as
the signs?
ANSWER: Because segregation on COM
mon carriers is not merely a tradition and
a practice but Virginia state law. I am
glad you asked this question because il is
usual for Negroes to interpret segregation
willful, individual choice on the part
Ct whites. Actually, whites as well as Ne
grocs, are compelled to obey segregation
laws which many of them resent.
While | certainly agree with you that
the removal of signs is secondary to the re-
moval of the practice, is is, as l shall ex-
plain, a step in that direction. Moreover,
it was an accomplished objective, while q
local effort to change the state law would
have been futile. The names of 20 local
citizens got the signs down pronto. A hun
dred times as many would have made no
impression on the law.
Actually, much effort has been made
