intor Jones thought it would
be si ffood idea to have the state's
highest and littlest public servants
in the parade which will open the
celebration.
So he invited 57-inch-tall Way-
land Galloway of the Seei't-tary of
State's Department to repvesent
the "little 'un«" and Sen. Sterling
Parci-sh of Lubbock as representa-
tive of the "bis 'uns."
Since making those selections
lie has been challenged by friends
of l!u« Strauss cf Hallottunville,
incoming member of the , Texas
Senati. They claim. Strauss out-
weighs Parrish.
Strauss recently was asked a limit
his weight and explained it this
way:
He was attending a fair where
a blindfptled man was offering to
jrness the weight of any person
who stepped on the sealcs, merely
by keeping a fiiiger ao the scales
and feelini how much they moved.
Strauus stepped on the scales.
"Hold on. Only one at a time,"
objected the blindfolded man;
(uivernor-Nominee B- e :iu f o r -1

problems at the
Convention whs
proposed.
One f§ the planks of Jester's
campaign ' was"■ that :the State of
Texas did not need to levy ad-
ditional taxes to provide for state
needs.
But the County Judges and
County Commissioners Association
of Texas is Jut determinedly for
an additional cent-a-gallon tax on
gasoline to be used for building
farm roads.
If Jester can get safely arouiui
that situation and preserve har-
mony, he will be well started to-
ward a successful administration
even before his inauguration.
Austin, incidentally, is already
beginning to look forward to the
inauguration. There are signs that
a citizens committee will seek to
return, again to the pre-war scale
of inaugural affairs, though hot
perhaps to equalling the monster

versity of Texas stadium whan

COLUMIIl'jS, O.—Because of a
typographical error in the pro-
gram, what, was scheduled to have
neon a boys' sawing contest at the
Ohio Siate Pair turned out to be a
sewing contest.
When ii'lvance announcement-
of the junior fair were made, it
was planned to ha,ve a sawing con-
test for farm boys. But, through
the error; the announcement called!
for a sewing contest.
The fair management received
so many entries from farm boys
that it was decided to conduct a
needlework contest for these tu-
tu re farmers.

Blaming It On The Press
The free prff-.s . Western style) and its practitioners seem to have
lieciiii.e exceedingly handy scapegoats for the disgruntled. We note that
in recent days such dissimilar persons as the Soviet journalist tlya
Khrenluug and K-.ther. Divine have been taking pot-shots al the re-
portei- ;iti. 1 their bosses. But we are more interested today in the com-
plaint of Mr. H. Hynil, pariiamntary secretary to Britain's First Lord
of the Admiralty.
Mr. Hynd thinks that newsmen are making things unduly hard for
the British government. "We find in the press." he says, "not only
rather queer reports, as sometimes happens, but also little bits slipped
in here and there—sometimes in a humorist column—-all little digs.at
the government."
Mr. Hynd would probably chide us for lifting these "little bits"
from tf-.e body of the speech that contained them, but they seem to
com,-in the (.'ist of his complaint. And if we were one of the Labor gov-
ernment's many British supporters, we should be a little disturbed if
we thought tiiat this complaint represented a widespread official feel-
in;;.
For Mr. Hyr.d's objections seem to betoken a feeling of uncertainty,
if not of discouragement. That feeling is often revealed in an acute
sensitivity to criticism end a susceptibility to severe bruises at the im-
pact of the least unkind word.
Impatience with criticism is natural and usual. But the stronir
politician, sure of popular support of his goals and methods, can offord
to ignore the petty fault-finding and answer his critics sharply on major
: issues.
It int seem that Mr. Hynd. instead of giving rather peevish
voice to his grievance's, could be thankful that criticism of his party's
government finds expression in bits of humor and little digs.
The Labor government bravely undertook on intricate bit of jug-
gling in which social revolution, physical and economic reconstruction,
continuance of many traditional Empire policies, and domestic tran-
quility, were nil supposed to be kept going at once. The result to date is
a continued low, drab, dismal standard of wartime "austerity" living.
• And -vet-Hrc'British remain good-naturedly patient. A reflection of
- and perhaps one reason for—their cheerfulness is a free press which
can an a safety valve for their occasional resentment of continuing
hardships end governmental slowness and mistakes. As long as "little
digs" keep on appearing in the public prints, the Attlee government and
Mr. Hynd may have liftlc cause to fear any more sinster expression of
criticism and discontent

AUSTIN", Tex.—November is a
short month but Texas state em-I
ployes will get more holidays in it
than in tmy oth.er part of the ye:\r,. i
except for the . Christnuis-New j |
Year period. " ~
First week of- November will
start off' with a pair' of holidays
caused by elections.'' Under state
law employes ' are entitled to a j
day off for statewkle elections.
On Nov. j there will be the en-
c-ral electioi: of state officials and
a vote on three pioposed' Consti-
tutional Anrendments'.' 'Two days
later (thanks to a mistake of the
legislators) there will be another
holiday for the vote on a fourth
proposed amendment to the state
constitution. ■ . ■ *'
Four days later a st)ite employe
is privileged to stay home or ?p
fishinp because it will be Armi-
stice Day, another state -holiday.
To top them • off will be _tlu
Thnnki(riving Day hol.id; y on Nov.
More than 100 appointees named
by Gov. Coke K. Stevcuson since
the regular session ot . the last
State legislature'y/ill .ha^ve to'.run
the gatinUct of -the- -Senate of the
50th Legialitnre to. get confirtna-
tion in their jobs. . V-
The State Sup relive Court Fri-
day refused a'- rehearing in the
solo session case ir.' which it had
helo that the session held by Sen-
ators in January, 11)16,. .at which
the appointments were considered
. was entirely ., invalid., Also ' neces-
>arily invalid was that session's
failure to confirm Harry Beng;
i ro/.itr. personal and political
friend of Governor Stevenson. No.v
names of all must go to next Janu-
ary's session. The Senators of the
■tilth legislature had planned to
meet again the Llith of this month.
Purpose of the September '.Sth
session was: to pass upon appoint-
ments- made by Gov. Coke R. Stev-
enson since, the former solo ses-
iiion v hen the- Senators scrutinized
the list and approved all but
Crozicr for chairman of Texas Un-
employment Compensation Com-
mission.
Since that' there have been few
appointments subject to Senate
contirmation. Tnc few include
Mrs. Mauieen Moore, State Labor
Commissioner; Leonard Carleton,
and L. H. Flewellch, members of
the Industrial Accident Board;,
Mrs. Margaret Greenwood, chair-
man' of the State Board of Cos-
met'douy and Assistant Adjutant
General Willianf H. Martin.
Boards of Hqprents and Directors
for the state colleges; have no ex-
piring terms until January and the
same is true of the State Board
of Education. The terms do expire^
however,, before Governor Steven-
son leaves office and turns it over
to his successor.
Meirbei-a of the Board for Texas
Tech who have expiring terms
hold on until mid-February.
Recent death of Mrs, Bob Bark-
er created a vacancy on the board
for Texas Women's College, which
Governor Stevenson will have to
fill.
Therj have also bee-re minor ap-
pointments, subject to confirma-
tion, like vacancies" in judgeships
and the office of district attorney.
