Home My WebLink AboutTerryBoriski02rresacientiat v In Effect Tow By JAMES MARLOW Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (M — This is a period in American politics of the presidential velvet touch in handling Congress where mem- bers of both parties often mill around like orphans. President Eisenhower started the smooth and rather soft ap- proach. President Kennedy fol- lowed it. This avoidance of headon clashes and nagging brawls may explain their high standing in public opinion polls. THEY MIGHT have gotten more from Congress by being tougher. That's a guess. Presi- dent Truman was tougher but he had troubles. Where he used a constant harpoon, Kennedy employs only a needle, and then infrequently. ABOUT TV Cy nthia Say s.. . By CYNTHIA LOWRY— AP Radio-TV writer NEW YORK 0 — Although there turn up occasional reports of surveys indicating that the viewers really like commercials, a television columnist must be permitted to doubt their accura- cy. This columnist does, largely because so many annoyed ,frus- trated and angry letters about commercials continually flow in from readers. One long - standing complaint is that commercials are fre- quently louder than the enter- tainment programs surrounding them. This has been denied of- ficially and repeatdely, but my own ears tell me it is true. ANOTHER FREQUENT com- plaint is the deadly repetition. As one viewer puts it, "Does it make sense for a company to' spend thousands of dollars on a program that attracts regular viewers — and then have it re- peat, repeat and repeat the same commercial until you want to close your eyes and ears to avoid it ?" He m e n t i o n s particularly commercials for one headache remedy, a head -cold congestion remedy and several cigarettes. I'm pretty Dorect with pictures of draining sinuses, myself, but at the top of my current "turn the darned set off" list is the one with the band marching, for no apparent reason, through a field of tobacco. And those smokers who come up, up, up from a valley of fog is in No. 2 place. WHEN JOHNNY CARSON gloves into Jack Paar's spot next fall, the name of the NBC program will revert to its origi- nal one: "The Tonight Show, starring Johnny Carson." The true measure of Johnny's success will be shown in the speed with which NBC changes the name to "The Johnny Car- son Show." Richard Boone has agreed to make another season of "Have Gun, Will Travel" shows, and Walter Brennan, who was thinking about quitting "The Real McCoys" will take it eas- ier next season, but appear in about half the new episodes... Gale Gordon, who has been chosen to replace the late Jos- eph Kearns as "Mr. Wilson" — he'll play the original's brother —is a very familiar face after all those years of "Our Miss Brooks" re -runs. He was the sputtery school principal. * 4 * • Recommended tonight: Dick Powell Show, NBC, 9 -10 EST — Powell and Sammy Davis Jr. star in "The Legend." etvet i ouch and Congress The Truman -Ei enhower- Kennedy troubles with Congress have had a single origin and no change is in sight. All that those who call them - selves Democrats have in com- mon, and the same goes for Re- publicans, is a rubbery party label. Both are split into liber- als, middle - roaders and the very conservative. THE RESULT is a political mish -mash and a kind of gen- eral befuddlement for voters who don't keep records. If they did, the record would show: The liberals of both par - ties have more in common than they have with their own con- servatives while the latter en- joy a far more instant affinity than they do for the liberals or middle- roaders in either party. In the House the Democrats, overwhelmingly 'outnumbering the Republicans, could put through any Kennedy program if they voted as a party. But' only Sunday House speaker John McCormack acknowledg- ed: Right now Kennedy doesn't have enough votes in the House to avoid rejection of his plan for creating , a new department of urban affairs and housing. HE PREDICTED approval for the President's free trade pro- gram, federal aid for universi- : ties and colleges, and not much chance for Kennedy's program of aid to public schools. The Republicans, in this con- gressional election year when their best hope for picking up a few seats is some indication that they know what they stand for, are split among themselves six ways from Sunday. The difference in their views is just the current example of the American political hash in which party labels mean some- thing only sometimes. For instance, Arizona's Re- publican Sen. Barry Goldwater, who is making a career of being a conservative, has more in common with some conservative Southern Democrats than with another leader of his party who has shown more liberal views. New York's Gov, Nelson A. Rockefeller. It was on Rockefeller that Kennedy recently used one of his infrequent needles when he jibed that he wasn't sure any more that the governor wasn't I moving to the right of Gold- water. Deeds W.

Clear Facts About A Maddled Proposition -- MILLI'CAN"S FLOODED ROADS WILL SEND BUSINESS ELSEWHERE 1 q . If the Millican Dom project becomes a reality, what will happen to the flooded roads? In the case of FM 158, it seems likely that nothing will happen. It will just stay under water. *V r The Texas Highway Department says FM 158 "cannot be severed ". But the Highway Department cannot, by traffic count, justify a causeway across the lake — and it would take a causeway over seven miles long to replace the flooded portions of FM 158 ! The government wouldn't pay for it. The Bureau of Public Roads says Federal -aid highway funds cannot be used to replace roads flooded in building water resources projects. These facts should be most alarming to Bryan business men who have ood customers in the eastern trod area. It g e ea s most likely they can just write this business off their books. 1 1� J Ji i , J staz i eo _ - - BE AT THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS PUBLIC HEARING IN GUION HALL, A &M COLLEGE ON THURSDAY, MARCH 1 LIKE TO KNOW MORE?

Glenn Jr. today as fast-flowing . reports showed full success in the early stages of the launch- ing of the husband and father into space flight. As for the tense early mom- ents of the liftoff, the Rev. Frank A. Erwin, pastor of the Little Falls United Presbyter- ian church which the Glenns attend, told reporters: "It was quiet; everybody had his own thoughts." Mrs. Glenn and the two chil- dren, David, 16, and Lyn, 14, with several friends and neigh- bars watched all the proceed- ings on three television sets in the living room. Reporters, photographers and TV crewmen gathered on the lawn to watch the launch on � I monitor sets. Erwin came out to report what was going on inside. He said as the launch pro-' ceeded nobody said anything— "it was no time to say any- thing." Asked if there were any pray- ers, Erwin said, "There were some prayers I am sure. No ver- bal ones." He said everybody was ex- tremely happy at the perfect liftoff, relieved that it had gone all right, and relaxing a bit as later accounts came in.

Peas in a pod have nothing on the Bryan Broncos and McAllen Bulldogs — opponents in to- night's 13 and 14-AAAA bi-dis- trict clash. THE TEAMS have identical 25-4 season records and have depended on balanced scoring plus quickness and ball-handl- ing to put them just four games short of the state championship. "Bill Bangs moved into a wn at McAl- len," SFA coach Peck Vass said Monday afternoon, "and he's made the most of it. He has Me- Allen playing some real good basketball."

"I'LL SAY this from a one- 1 --firne observation," Vass con- imued, "there isn't much differ- ence between these ball clubs. Player by player, McAllen has a little bit of an edge in height but Bryan has more overall speed." "I wouldn't give you a nickel for the odds," the Bryan coach, 14 years with the Broncos, add- ed. "It's going .to be a lot like our last McCallum game — the last two points may decide it." But the Bronco mentor will have to snap his club out of its first half shooting lethargy.

Norman Bird, a 6-3 senior for- ward, scored 299 points for the campaign for an 11.1 average and his running mate, 6-2 Mike McLafferty, sank 288 for a 10.7 norm. Horace Guerra, a slight, 5-8 guard, averaged 7.3 points per game before the series to total 181 points but Vass credits him and Bird the top cagers in Mc- Allen's lineup. "Bird has a good move and can shoot from outside," Vass stated," and Guerra is fast — fast as greased lif.��ning. He's the punch in McAllen's fast break and they can do it well." "OF COURSE, we can too," he added. The fifth starter is 5-10 Raul Salinas, who beat out Rick Me- Bride for a starting berth the third game into McAllen's dis- trict schedule. McBride, who's scored 125 points at a 4.6 clip, and Mike Gonzales, 92 at 3.7, are Bank's top substitutes. The Bulldogs opened t h e i r 1961-62 slate with a pair of wins over Edinburg, 14-4A p a t s y, then suffered its first loss to an- other Rio Grande Valley team, Class AA Edcouch-Elsa. The next night the Bulldogs aveng- ed the loss then went on to take third place in Victoria's tourna- ment, second place in the San Antonio (Robert E.

Then one comes to the headliner of the night — featuring the Bryan Broncos and McAllen Bulldogs — but the 13 and 14-4A match is 250 miles away — in Corpus Christi Ray High gym- nasium. Some folks should be thankful for the air waves and elec- tromagnetics. THE LAMAR JUNIOR High basketball teams — the Buil- dogs, Bullpups and Hushpups — compiled an aggregate season record this year of 37 wins and eight losses. Not a bad season for Coach Bill Hodge. But then the Bulldogs have always had the winning habit. In the last 14 years, since Lamar began playing out-of-county games, the junior high teams have won better than 75 per cent of its games — 224 out of 297. Just Call It History THE FUROR OVER Bryan High's come-from-behind 61-59 victory over McCallum Thursday night is dying on the vine—as well it should. A lot of excitement and pushing and shoving followed the game aloiig with a little fist swinging. Otherwise it was just another ell-officiated basketball tiff in which Bryan won the second 'A' straight of a two-of-three series — and the third of four meet- ings with McCallum this season — for the chance to tangle with McAllen tonight in Corpus for bi-district honors. Frank Rundell, coach of the Knights, charged Bryan fans with unruly behavior Friday and attacked Lonnie Horstman, an official from Waco. who called the game along with Mac Peoples, football coach of Connally High in Waco. Rundell said McCallum couldn't have won with a 30 point lead and one minute left to play. Horstman expressed amaze- , merit at Rundell's charges Saturday, "Nothing was even said to me after the game," he declared. "It was one of the easiest games I've ever called. It was close and hard-played, but it wasn't a laugh game at all. This beats anything I've ever heard." . Unless either of the parties takes further action, the ruckus looks headed for a quick death. Dr, Rhea Williams, athletic director of the University Inter- 3cholastic League in Austin, said the incident hadn't been re- ferred to UIL headquarters and it probably won't ever reach it. "We have verbal arguments like this all over the state," Dr. ams said. "It will probably be settled within the district with the schools themselves taking care of it." He indicated will the UIL vifice would not interfere unless there should be con- tinuous incidents. undell indicated in a telephone interview Friday afternoon he was ready to let sleeping dogs lie. ' Bryan cage coach Peck Vass isn't thinking of it at all, � "We've won 25 games this year," he said Monday after- noon, "and right now I'd trade all 25 for just four more."' Vass, Parrish Honored RANDY PARRISH and Perry Vass received the basketball trophies presented annuallv to two Lamar Junior High cagers by ' Charles Potts and Dr. Dick Harrison. Parrish had the best free throw percentage —.750— and Vass, son of Bryan High's basketball coach and an eighth grader, was awarded the best all around trophy. TEXAS TECH will begin its spring football training March 15 according to Coach J. T. King.
