Texas Dispute
May Become Key
To Dixie Bolt
Austin, TVx., July 15.—Two dis-
sident factions of Democrats bead
ed for Chicago tomorrow, each de
lving the other's right to cast Tex
as' 52 vital votes in the National
Convention.
That's the immediate issue. Be-
v * nd it. the convention’s action on
Texas could be the key to whether
i r not such rebellious Southern
delegations as South Carolina's will
belt.
There have been hints that some
Southarn delegations would walk
out if the conservative slate from
Texas is not recognized.
Texas' rival delegations r weie
bern when the May State conven
tion blew up and divided into “reg
ular".and "rump" sessions over the
;.-sue of binding the state’s elec-'
tors to support the National Cor.
vention’s nominee for president.
The "regular" delegation led by
Gov. Allan Shivers denies that par
ly loyalty is the issue. They say it
is a fight against domination of the
pi.rty by ultra-liberal Northern
and Eastern elements and exclu
sion of the Southern viewpoint in
platform and party policy-making.
The '‘loyalist!’ delegation led by
firmer New Deal Congressman
Mau$ r Maverick challenges the
Shiyers side to prove they are
Democrats, The convention dom-
inateci by Shivers refused to bind
its presidential electors to support
the National Convention’s nom
inees for president and vice pres
ident.
Shivers and his delegation say!
they want to wait and see what
the convention does about FEPC
and other states’ rights issues be-,
fore deciding who they will sup
port. That, in effect, is South Caro
lina’s position. The Texas ‘loyal-!
ists" say they will support anyone
the party may nominate.
That’s the essence of the row
that will be reviewed by the Dem
ocratic National Committee's sub
committee on credentials Friday.
Shivers savs he has always been
a Democrat and wants to keep on
being one, that he doesn’t believe
in splinter parties. But neither he
nor his delegation has promised to
support the national party’s nomi
nee until they see who he is and
what ne stands for.
The liberal "loyalist” faction will
hit hard at this conditional posi
tion. They are going to try to get
the credentials committee to ex
tract an iron-bound party loyalty
pledge from any Texas delegation
'hat is seated.
The ‘‘loyalists’’ charge that the
convention which named the rival
delegation was not made up of

less housing starts picking un
sharply. Most analysts agree that
starts so far in 1952 have been at
the rate of only about 1,100,000 a
year.
The announcement by the two
agencies was designed to end con
fusion over the effect of an act
passed by Congress shortly before
it adjourned this month.
The act provided that if housing
starts for "any three consecutive
months” fell below an annual rate
of 1,200,000, credit controls must be
relaxed—after a waiting period—
to cut the maximum down payment
required to 5 per cent.

’I REMEMBER”
BY THI OLD TIMERS /
From Mrs. Pearl BoatweU, Rio
Vista, Calif.: I remember when
my mother used a 10-gallon jar for
her freezer. She would pack her
fryers, after dressing 30 or 40 of
them, in the jar and cover with
water. They would freeze solid over
night sitting on the back porch.
That was in Missouri where it
was zero all winter.
From Mrs. Lillie Hicks, Marengo,
Ind.: I remember when mother
took her clothes to the creek and
washed them on a rock that slanted
into the water. She scrubbed her
floors with sand.
From Mrs. Clara Tutmark, Alder-
wood Manor, Wash.: I remember
when father took me to town to get
new shoes—riding in the cutter,
Nellie in the traces, and a hot water
jug at my feet. What fun!
From Virginia Graver, Thompson,
Utah: I remember when I cut
several pairs of long stockings in
pieces and sewed them together so
the children’s knees wouldn’t show.
Now they don’t wear any, and not
only their knees show.
From the Old Com, Chicago: I re
member a dog-powered tread
mill that was used to churn butter.
A mouth-powered tread mill, pow
ered by my first wife’s jaws, would
have churned lots of butter—she
was always chewing the fat.
From Casper Ross, Oklahoma City:
I remember when Graham’s Un
guent was one of the most popular
whiskers and mustache growers in
the country. A kiss without a beard
was like a hot dog without mus
tard, all the cute chicks of that day
said.
