primary. While the two men
were not actually pitted against
each other--Republicans and
Democrats had to vote in their

in both parties had urged a big

Another feature which en-

and Texas shrimp fishermen tell
conflicting stories of the latest
shooting incident in the. Gulf Of
Mexico. The Mexicans charge
the Texans with fishing in their
territorial waters; the Texans
deny it.
Capt. Tom Wilson of the
shrimp boat Pescadora, wounded
by rife fire from Mexican cut
ter in the fracas Monday, was
reported in good condition in al
hospital here. He may be flown
home to Brownsville, Tex, today
United States Consul George
ID. Whittinghill said Capt. Will
son suffered "a light wound" and
would be up and around in a
few days"
Hearing Today
A formal hearing was to bel
held today to determine if the
Pescadora and its two other
|crewmen should be seized and
tried or released Immediately.
Mexican officials did not
seem inclined to push the case
too far. An informed official
source said he believed the boat
and crew would be released with
out charges and without loss of
their catch.
The Pescadora was escorted
into Tampico yesterday by the
Mexican coast guard boat G-28,
which fired on the shrimperI
Monday night of the Mexican
coast. Capt. Wilson's wife, Daisy,
and his sister-in-law had flown
here to meet him. Consul Whit
tinghill was also at the pier
with an ambulance.
Mexican Version
The Mexican Coast Guard |
version Of the incident was that
the Pescadora, out of Browns
vile, was fishing inside the nine
mile limit Mexico sets on her
territorial waters and tried toll
escape when ordered to halt.
After a third warning, the Mexi-
can cutter said, it opened fire,
wounding Capt. Wilson.
The Pescadora crew said they
were well outside Mexico'S nine
mile limit and trying to move
farther out when the G-28
opened fire.
Mexican cutters have arrested
numerous United States shrimp
erS in the pas, confiscated their
catches and fined the operators.
The shrimpers and the United
States claim Mexican waters ex-
tend only three miles to sea, the
same as United States territorial
limits.

1t must be remembered when
we come to judge the current
farm bill that it is a set of emer.
gency devices to meet the present
marketing crisis, not a definitive
solution to the farm problem"
President Eisenhower, in present
ing his farm program to Congress,
clearly stated that the administra-
TONS proposals were a means to
speed the transition" to a sane
solution of the problem.
The fallacy in the federal agri.
cultural program since 1888 has
been the failure to recognize the
sweeping chronological changes
in agriculture during the last SO
years.
We are caught in the midst of
an agricultural revolution that is
just as real and full of meaning
for the future as was the appli-
cation of steam to power in the

County's TB
Cases Jump
In Past Year

Montgomery County's tubercu-
losis case ratio jumped 31.7 per-
cent in 1865 according to stats,
tics recently released by DR.. VIII
liam J. Peoples, county health of,
ficer.
During 1854 there were SO new
active cases found, whereas in
1855 the total jumped to SO,
These figures are especially sig
nificant," DR.. Peoples said, due
to the very common misconcep-
ton many people have that TB is
a disease of the past"
Any increase in the number of
cases was to be expected with the
rise in population, he felt, but he
also attributed the higher number
of new cases to the fact that the
health department has improved
its technique in case finding.
Stress was laid on case finding
in areas of the county that were
known to have a higher concen-
tration of TB cases than else
where. Stress was also placed on
a drive to encourage older people
to get X-rays or see their doctor,
an important factor in the in
crease since one-third to one-half
of the new cases were found in
people over go.
There has been a definite shift
in the tuberculosis problem from
Is to 20 years ago" DR.. Peoples
said, During that time most
cases of TB were being found
among our teen-agers and young
mothers. Now, the case-load is
moving into our senior citizens
particularly in men who are be-
yond the age of 40
From Health Department rec
ordS it was found that due to the
increase in the number of new
cases found, total of 2,301 home
visits were made by public health
nurses. This is an increase of
SIG over last years figures.
Because of these facts, DR.. Pee.
pies pointed out the need for
more action on the part of our
citizens to take an active part in
the case-finding program which
Is sponsored by the health de.
partment, the Medical Society
and the Montgomery County TB
and Heart Association.
This program is designed to
give everyone the opportunity to
have a free hest X-ray," he said,
"An annual chest X-ray is a good
health practice and should be con-
sidered an integral part of a tam
ily's health plan the same as an
annual physical check-up or the
two visits everyone should make
to their dentist each year."

i One of the surest signs thai

Some of this years letter
writer's will eventually join the

in July, 1857. But even before
then, they will undoubtedly OBJ
tain certain amount of unoffi

Although there are still Is

ton is that l like to screen my

as nominees, ! consider numer
Gus factors in addition to the re
suits of the competitive exams
