Advertiser.
Hobby
The most obvious is the
security surrounding the in
quiry. Physically, as well as
informational!)', it is the
heaviest of any committee in
the history of Congress. Com
mittee deliberations and find
ings art- being kept in near
secrecy until a final report is
made lo the full House of
Representatives.
Testimony received by the
committee is secured behind
locked doors. Oral testimony is
taken in a room regularly
checked by experts for elec
tronic bugs.
Reports on committee prog
rcss, but not the substance of
the investigation, are being
made periodically.
The precise workings of the
committee is known only to the
committee and a few select
staff members.
For example, although I
furnished Judiciary Committee
Chairman Peter Rodino with
my files on the International
Telephone and Telegraph
Hartford Fire Insurance mer
ger, 1 was not even advised how
my material will be used in the
investigation.
I know that the committee is
reviewing ^he material, but I
have no precise information
how it is being utilized in tin-
overall inquiry.
It's the Judiciary Commit
tee's duty to gather every bit of
information pertaining to im
peaehmenl without subjecting
that information to prejudicial
publicity. When the work is
completed, the facts will be laid
out to the members of
Congress.
It then becomes the House's
duty to decide whether the
evidence warrants impeach
ment which means sending the
President's case to the Senate
for trial.
Impeachment closely resem
bles an arraignment hy a grand
jury. It does not determine the
guilt or innocence, but only
whether there is enough evi
dence to warrant a trial.
There has been much polit
ical pressure for the committee
to hurry its investigation
largely from those who have
already decided the President's
guilt or innocence from other
sources.
I support a speedy resolution
of the impeachment inquiry and
the Judiciary Committee re
ports that it is conducting the

AUSTIN It seems as though
an era of shortages is upon us.
Paper is one of the resources
which is becoming increasingly
scarce. Fortunately, it is a
resource which is particularly
adaptable to recycling.
Much progress has been
made in reusing paper. And the
possibilities for community and
individual involvement in this
conservation effort are numer
ous.
Waste paper can be reused as
a raw material for new paper
products, as a source of energy,
and as a medium either for
sanitary landfill or composting.
The key to using waste paper
is, of course, economics. The
technology is available or
emerging, and markets for
waste paper do exist.
Presently, the bulk of used
paper is going into the solid
waste stream. The paper in
dustry, however, is steadily
reducing this waste.
The American Paper Insti
tute reports that in 1971 nearly
half of the fibers used for paper
and paper board production
came from reclaimed wastes.
Almost 30 million tons of
paper were consumed by the
U.S. in 1970. Of this. 2.2
million tons of waste paper
were channeled back into paper
study as fast as it possibly can
without compromising the "due
process" required by the
Constitution.
Impatience and haste cannot
be allowed to overrule the
requirements of the Consti
t nt ion.
manufact uring. Newsprint
manufacturers consumed more
than 400,000 tons of the waste
paper recovered.
The largest portion of news
papers recovered comes from
the collection efforts of com
munity organizations. Some
city collection programs are
underway and more should be
encouraged.

Fertilizer
Exports Hurt
Local Farmers
Washington Legislation
blocking U. S. fertilizer exports
must be approved to prevent
serious crop losses and a
consequent increase in food
prices, according to U. S. Rep.
Jake Pickle, a co-sponsor of the
embargo bill.
Large fertilizer exports are
reducing domestic supplies dur
ing a period of near-record
fertilizer demand by U. S.
farmers, Pickle said.
The exports have been
spurred by a world market
price which substantially ex
ceeds domestic fertilizer prices,
he said.
"If domestic fertilizer needs
are not met, many farmers will
lose up to 50 per cent of their
crops," Pickle said. "A loss of
this magnitude would have
tremendous impact on the
American consumer, causing
higher prices for bread, beef
and other essential goods."
itation department trucks col
led bundled newspapers put
out by residents on a voluntary
basis. Garbage trucks are
equipped with racks to hold the
old newspapers picked up dur
ing normal collections.
Participation in the program
has been high, and it is showing
a profit. I would hope that cities
in Texas will give consideration
to starting such programs.
The possible use of waste
paper as a source of energy is
especially interesting in light of
the current energy crisis. A ton
of shredded organic refuse has
about half the HTU value of a
ton of coal. Using this portion of
trash and garbage cannot only
reduce the amount to be
disposed of, but il can save
more valuable conventional
fuels.
In our day to day lives, we
must be aware of how we, as
individuals and as members of a
community, can increase the
efficiency with which we use
our natural resources.
The collection of refuse and
waste papers is one way which
is simple and economical.

Tornado Season Brings
Need For Precautions
College Station Tornado
season is approaching in Texas,
and certain precautions can
save lives, warn Wayne Keese,
agricultural engineer for the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service.
Tornadoes are violent wind
storms that usually grow out of
threatening thunder clouds. In
Texas, the peak tornado season
is during the months of April,
May and June, but tornadoes
may occur anytime.
"Although tornadoes may
occur at any hour of the day or
night, they are most frequent
during the warmer hours of the
day," points out Keese.
When the possibility of a
tornado exists, Uie National
Severe Storms Forecast Center
in Kansas City, Missouri, sends
out a tornado watch to the
threatened area. The message
is teletyped to radio, television
and National Weather Service
stations in the area.
"A 'tornado watch' alerts the
people to the possibility of a
tornado," explains the Texas
A&M University System spe
cialist. "When a watch is
announced for your area, there
is no need to interrupt normal
activities except to listen for
weather advisories and watch
for threatening weather. Be
sure a battery-powered radio is
available in case power is lost."
A tornado watch identifies a
specific time and area, but
everyone in the general area
should be alert for threatening
conditions.
"When a tornado has actually
been sighted or detected by
radar, a 'tornado warning' is
issued. The warning tells where
and when a tornado was
sighted, the direction it is likely
to move, and the time it is
expected to move through the
warned area," explains Keese.
If a tornado warning is issued
for your area, move immediate-
ly to a cellar, basement or civil
defense shelter. If you are in a
home or other building with no
basement, go to the lowest
level in the center of the house
or other building. Take shelter
in a small room or closet or
under heavy furniture.
Keese also lists other safety
precautions.
At home, open a few win
dows to allow for sudden air
pressure changes. Then find
shelter.
Stay away from windows and
buildings with wide, free-span

Representative John Wilson
Says:
The Finance Article occupies
the Convention's attention this
week, and long debate is
expected on its many eontro
versial proposals, "he Finance
Committee's report deals with
establishment of a fair and
equitable system of taxation
and of sound fiscal policies. One
ol the most carefully considered
and yet controversial provi-
sions is the Highway User
Fund. A description of what it
is and what it does serves as
our topic of discussion.
The Highway User Fund
proposal is an exact wording of
a present Texas constitutional
amendment. This amendment
was adopted on November 5,
19411, by an impressive margin
by the voters of the state. This
section dedicates the particular
receipts n| motor vehicle regis
(ration fees and all taxes on
motor fuels anil lubricants used
to propel motor vehicles over
public highways for the sole use
of acquiring rights of way and
constructing, maintaining, and
policing highways. However,
one fourth of the net revenue
from these motor fuel taxes is
given to the Available School
Fund for use in our public
schools. In essence, the mot<
fuel taxes art an excise, or use,
tax. Thus, the users of the
public highways pay for the
construction and, maintenance
of the highways they use.
Critics of the Highway User
Fund point to the inability of
utilizing motor fuels taxes for
construction of mass transit
facilities and the tremendous
receipts of the Fund. Although

in our metropolitan areas, 1 am
strongly opposed to any de
crease in the dedicated High
way User Fund. These monies
arc desperately needed for the
tremendous costs of continually
repairing our highways. The
inflationary spiral has reduced
I he real value of the receipts of
the Fund, and the previously
mentioned costs of simply

roofs.
In open country, escape by
moving at a right angle to the
tornado's path. If there is no
time for escape, lie flat in a
ditch or ravine but do not stay
in your car.
Get far enough away from a
trailer or mobile home to avoid
injury if il is overturned.
When you observe a tornado,
report it promptly to the
nearest law officer or National
Weather Service Office. Other
wise, do not make calls so that
lines can be kept open for
emergency information.
After a tornado, always wear
shoes and gloves in cleanup
operations and damage inspec
lions. Watch for hazards like
broken or downed electrical
wires and broken gas pipes.
When entering a storm dam
aged building, watch for ceil
ings and walls that may be
ready to fall.
Never light a match, smoke
or carry open flames into a
building until you are sure
there are no gas leaks.
Do not sight see in disaster
areas. Your presence will only
hamper rescue and cleanup
operations.
have increased greatly. Finally,
the energy crisis and gasoline
shortage have reduced the
receipts of the motor fuels tax
on gasoline as less gasoline is
being purchased. All of these
factors working in unison have
decreased the Highway User
Fund. Thus, an additional re
duction by allocating a portion
of the remaining receipts to
mass transit is foolish.
I know a number of you ran
well remember the days of dirt
roads and narrow bridges. The
present Texas highway system
is the envy of all other states. It
provides great transportation
routes for bringing agricultural
products and cattle to market.
It allows rapid movement of
rural children to schools. It
enables all Texans to enjoy our
wonderful recreational oppor
tunities. and it guarantees safe
and fast roadways for travel. I
strongly support the retention
of the Highway User Fund for
the good of District 30 and
Texas.
