LOCK SUPPORTS
LAW ON CLOSiNG
INSOLVENT F!RM
Sen. Ottls Lock reports that he
voted for House Biii 39 the new
! law by which the insoivent U. S.
^ Guaranty and Trust company was
put out of business.
"The controversy over the in-
soivency of U. S. Guaranty and
Trust company is such that I
would iike to make it known
that I voted for the new Saw
which was used to put this com-
pany out of business," Senator
Lock said.
"Discussion of various other
bills might leave the impression
that the iegislature faiied to reg-
uiate this company," he stated.
"But such is not the case for
House Bill 39 which 1 supported
and was enacted into law did
subject the company to state
regulation."
The East Texas senator said
the losses which follow the in-
solvency of any business is re-
grettable but "the sooner the new
laws are strictly enforced and all
unsound insurance and invest-
ment companies are weeded out,
the better it will be for the pub-
lic."
"The weeding out process will
naturally cause considerable
commotion but I hope it will not
obscure the good job which the
legislature did in making the
clean up possible," he continued.
Lock said the Senate General
Investigating Committee of which
he is a member would make a
maximum effort to assist the
creditors of this company and to
ferret out any wrong doing.

Texas Press Association
Austin, Jan. 5.—Scandals, in-
vestigations, trials and political
upheaval kept Texas news liveiy
in 1955.
Most of the big '55 stories are
expected to have even bigger
sequels in '56. In them may be
answers to now-tense questions,
solutions and attempted solutions
to a raft of state problems.
Some 1955 stories and topics
for their 1956 chapters include:
1. Veterans land frauds were
revealed, and former Land
Commr. Bascom Giles was con-
victed. More trials are pending,
and scandals are a likely summer
campaign issue.
2. U. S. Supreme Court decree
and follow-up action by Texas
Supreme Court wiped out Texas'
school segregation laws. Desegre-
gation moves also begin in pub-
lic parks and transportation
facilities. But many Texans in
areas with large Negro popula-
tions formed Citizens Councils
that will still be fighting in '56.
3. In an earliest-ever start two
candidates, Reuben Senterfitt and
Sen. Jimmy Phillips, entered the
governor's race. Some half-dozen
others jockeyed for position.
4. Wright Morrow was re-
placed by Lt. Gov. Ben Ramsey
as national Democratic commit-
teeman. How successful Ramsey
is in uniting the feuding factions
of Texas Democratic party will
bear directly on these big '56
questions: What candidate will
the Texas delegation support at
the national Democratic conven-
tion? What party will carry Tex-
as in the presidential election?
5. Seven-million-dollar col-
lapse of U. S. Trust and Guaranty
Company left thousands of de-
positors and policy-holders with
potentially heavy losses. For '56
it meant more investigations, a hot
new campaign issue and possibly
new laws.
Right To Work Laws
Atty. Gen. John Ben Shepperd
has taken steps to fight for Texas
"right to work" law.
Shepperd petitioned the U. S.
Supreme Court last week for per-
mission to present oral argument
in a case involving a similar Ne-
braska law.
Pending the federal judges' de-
cision. the Texas Supreme Court
has delayed action on a suit by
railway workers to prevent a
closed shop agreement between
Santa Fe Railway and the unions.
A Texas law passed in 1947
provides that no person shall be
denied employment as a result of
membership or non-membership
in a union.
To invalidate this law, said
Shepperd, would destroy indivi-
dual constitutional rights.

POt/O PROGRAM
The nation-wide polio vaccina-
tion program, which began with
the free vaccination of first and
second-grade children, is leaving
the schools for the private physi-
cian's office and the public health
clinic. The free vaccinations made
possible by the National Founda-
tion for Infantile Paralysis has
almost ended. A $30,000,000 ap-
propriation voted by Congress so
that no child should be denied
Salk vaccine for lack of funds is
available to state health officers
until February. Nevada is the
only state that reported that there
would be no polio vaccination
given in public clinics. Distribu-
tion there will be entirely by pri-
vate physicians.
O. B. Ellis, general manager of
the Texas Prison System advises
that he and the Prison Board will
ask the Legislature for $8,000,000
at the next session, for a new
five-year building program for
the prison farms.
