Texas Primary

My attention has been called
to the recent interview of Mrs.
Lyndon johnson in The Star.
Lady Bird. as she is affection
ately called all over Texas, is
unduly alarmed by the anony-
nous telephone calls she and
the Senator received during the
recent bitter contest in this
sovereign State. They obviously
came from the group who. in
all political contests. are bad
losers. The bad losers in this
particular contest were so con-
fident of success that their
crushing defeat made them
frantic and mean.
Senator Johnson's victory
was the most triumphant any
man ever had in any election
in any State in the Union. 1t
was also the most complete and
humiliating defeat any So
called popular leader ever sus-
tanned in the history Of
American politics. Who were
the Senator's opponents? The
oil millionaires, the cattle
barons. the leaders of indus
try. the big city news
papers, the bankers, the cham
Der of commerce boys and the
country club set-in a word,
the money power. Who sup
ported him? The small farm
ers and ranchers, the cow
boys. the school teachers, the
professional men, lawyers, doc
tors and so on; the clerks, the
laboring men, the man on the
street-in a word, the common
man.
OF course the Republicans
Joined with the first group in
whooping it up for Ike and
Shivers. stand by the Presi-
dent!" Stand firm with Gov.
Shivers!" These were the bat
tie cries of that group. 1t was
a great day for the Democrats.
1t was a sad day for the apos-
tates.
In the precinct in which I
live and vote, in 1852 and 1854,
the community was almost
solid for Ike and Shivers. But
on May S. at the precinct meet
ing, there was but one lone
vote for ShiverS. In the coun-
ty convention on May 8. the
ratio was exactly the same.
Orange County had been a
ShiverS stronghold. In the
spirit Of harmony. some Shivers
men were put on the delegation
to the State convention. and
the most vocal of them, as if
speaking for all of them, came
out publicly for Senator john
son. Shivers' delegations in
county after county in East
Texas. the Governors strong
hold. switched to johnson at
the county conventions.
Gov. Shivers failed to carry
the precinct in which he was
born, the city in which his
family resides and in which he
grew to manhood. the county
which gave him his political
start. and the congressional
district that stood Loyalty be-
hind him in all his races for
State Office. His defeat shows
that his Wanted and powerful
leadership is a myth. He did
not lead Texas into the Eisen-
hover column. He followed her
there. When I moved here in
1852 l heard 1t said on all sides

Guidance CounseIors

Recently I called on the
Guidance Department of
Washington-Lee High Schools,
and later on Mr.. Rutter, SUI
perintendent of Arlington
Schools, and asked that the
cumulative folder kept on my
family be destroyed, except
for records concerned with
grades in the academic field. I
refer to the anecdotal record.
the guidance counselor'S per-
sonal appraisal and the per-
sonality check lists. My request
was refused.
l have scarcely missed a PTA
meeting since coming to Ar
lington some years ago. Never,
although each year whole
evenings have been devoted to
discussions Of the guidance
program. have these person.
atty reports and check lists
been explained to me. It re-
manned for me to stumble on
discussions of them acciden-
tally in books I found in the
District library during Edu-
cation Month last fall.
The Guidance Department
says they must preserve these
reports because they make
excellent sources of informa-
ton in case the FBI ever finds
1t necessary to investigate our
children. / am not interested
in making things easier for the
FBI. / do not contemplate the
FBI ever investigating my
children.
I am told that these reports
are available to any interested
person, FBI agent, police of
f1cer, social worker, pSychia-
triSt. teacher-any interested
person other than a parent or
the child concerned.
I was told that these records
must remain unavailable to
parents because the counselor
must respect the condolences
OF a student. Suppose a student
comes to him and says, MY
parents want me to do thus
and so, but I don't want to, I
want to do differently" ] an
swer that if a counselor is
worth his salt he will lose no
time in getting the student
and parent together to help
them to come to agreement.
One student has had this to
say. THE trouble with guild
ance counselors is that they
won't let you talk about what
you want to talk about. Sure.
/ have differences with my
family. But most of my
troubles in school are with my
teacher. Yet when 1 try to dis
cuss this with the counselor
he stops me and says, We
won't discuss that. Your
teacher is always available and
any differences you have with
her can best be resolved by
talking them over with her."
And he is so right! But why
does he not accord this same
privilege to parents?
Guidance counselors have
been wrong so often in adyis-
ing my children regarding
their academic problems that
! find myself unwilling to al
low them to assume RESPONSE
bility for making appraisals of
their personalities. Had I
known they we're pursuing this

rs STREET Sc.

Dear Sir:
81 have asked this same
question of dozens of folks
from the South. but no one has
ever answered it satisfactorily.
II have been reading Of live
oaks and cottonwood trees.
How does the live oak differ
from the northern or hardy
oak, and what is the cotton
wood?'
do we have any here, or
farther North?
Il have always associated
them with the poplar family.
Sincerely. H. w. NJ"
X 4
There are two cottonwoods,
at least, according to our book.
One is the Southern cotton
wood. so called. PopuluS del
toides, a tree of from so to 125
feet high. found from Quebec
west and southwest, but less
abundant east of the Allie
ghenieS.
The other is the swamp cot
tonwood, growing from 40 to
80 feet, near swamps, as the
name suggests. 1t is found in
Connecticut, southwark along
the Mississippi valley. Scientific
name, P. heterophylla.
These trees are members Of
the great family which in
cludes the poplarS. aspens and
cottonwoods.
AS for the 'live oak" it is
the one down which dripS the
Spanish moss Of the Southland.
In one book we have, it is
given as Quercus agrifolia; in
another, as @. virginiana; in
still another, @. wislizenii.
No wonder our correspondent
is confused. So are wei
49,
Oaks are wonderful things.
There are scores of different
kinds from the English oak, of
fame and story, to the red
oaks and others we find along
the streets Of our suburban
communities.
Oaks are long lived, and firm
rooted.
They are not struck by
lightning as often as some
other trees, or at least so it
seems, as We look back.
The most struck tree in our
section has been the locust.
Perhaps this is simply be-
cause there have been more
of them.
The locust has a very poor
root system, and for that rea-
son makes a dangerous tree
around houses and garages,
because 1t tips over easily, with
or without a storm.
In our community there have
been three locusts struck by
lightning to one Of any other
sort.
The good roots OF the oaks
make them comparatively safe,
If one wants a handsome,
magnificent tree.
Close to dwellings, lesser
trees are more satisfactory and
comfortable to have around.
The naples are unsurpassed
for yards of normal size.
One OF the great troubles
with the ubiquitous locusts,
which grow tall and thick, is
that they will tip slightly with
out the householder knowing IT.
A good idea. for those who
own locust trees:

Only four days remain of the

saw Tropical Park enjoy a Is per

WiesIer Draws

Muys in Hand

More than $4,000 fans, many
lured by the f1ashy Willie Mays.

Stadium when the Senators clash
with the New York Giants in
Washingtons final exhibition
against major league opposition.
The game, which will be broad
cast by WWDC, will start at
I8:05.
Ruben Gomez, Puerto Rican
Highlander, will start against
Bob Wiesler. a lefthander whose
pitching potential figured promi-
Inently in the Senator'S willing
ness to send Maury McDermott
to the Yankees.
Mays, whose unique fielding
style astonishes those glimpsing
him for the first time, was home
run king Of the majors last sea-
son with 81. He is one of four
players in the National League
ever to hit more than so homers.
Willie can do it all. In addi-
ton to pacing the league in home
runs and triples he also thumped
across 1877 runs and stole "a
bases. AS for his defensive abil-
Iity, superb is the word. When
brilliant fielding plays are men,
toned, Mays gets attention for
his thrilling grab of Vic Wertz's
mighty blast to dead centerfleld
in the Polo Grounds during the
1854 World Series with Cleveland.

Tonight in Bout
With Williams
BY GEORGE HUBER

Tommy (Hurricane) Jackson,
the swarming contender for
Rocky Marciano's heavyweight
boxing crown. is favored to ad-
vance a step closer to a title bout
tonight when he takes on Johnny
Williams of England in a 10
rounder at Uline Arena.
Williams is former British
Empire champion who also has
ambitions of meeting Marciano
Williams once knocked out Don
Cockell. the Britisher who last
year lasted eight rounds with
Marciano. although he later lost
a decision and his British title
to Cockell.
The fight will be televised over
WRC-TV (channel - at 10 pm
and also will be broadcast by
WRC.
jackson is a 2-to-l favorite
and better to protect his high
rating and add Williams to a
list OF victims that includes
Ezzard Charles, Rex Layne, Bob
Baker. Clarence Henry and
others.

no polished boxer, but he does

busy attack in his favor. He

away with both fists. He misses
as often as he lands, but he
throws so many punches that
he wears out the opposition.
Jackson doesn't win all his
fights. but he wins enough, and
he now is considered a top con-
tender for the championship. He
lost twice to Jimmy Slade, but
beat Slade once. There also was
a knockout by Nino Valdes that
is hard to explain away.

PITTSBURGH, April 10 (R.-
AL Kaline said his homer against
the Milwaukee Braves yesterday
meant more than the three runs
it gave the Detroit Tigers.
Arm trouble has kept the

and Kaline is eager to get in as
many cuts as possible before the
regular season opens Tuesday.
He wasn't waiting yesterday
He stepped into the first pitch
Chef Nichols offered him in the
first inning and smashed a hard
line drive that was picked of in
centerfleld. His third inning
homerun was on an opening
pitch. And the first pitch thrown
to him In the ninth was lined
into center.
Kaline's efforts were wasted
as the Braves took a Us decision
on Eddie Mathews three-run
homer of Frank Larry in the
third and Bobby Thomson's two
