iiiisiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiHiii "111111111111111111111 Don't Your Valentine CONG. POAGE REPORTS Bill Would Overrule Community Property Laws January 31. 1956 Dear Friends: I am pleased to find the House inclined to push its business. Tho week the House passed (without roll call) a tax revision. This was largely a matter of technical changes.

It is not going to make much difference in very many tax bills. On the whole', it is undoubtedly sound, but the measure did contain one section which is intended to overrule our Texas community property laws Because of this, I had to express my opposition to the bill. I believe that our community property laws are sound, and I believe even more strongly that the Federal Government should recognize and support such laws. We have continued to hold hearings on Corn and Feed Grain. Some very interesting suggestions have; been made It is too early to know i whether or not we may be able to reach some common ground but I am still hopeful.

On yesterday (January 30th) I flew out to Columbus. Ohio. and back to address the Ohio Cattle Feeders Association. I emphasized I to them that the price of livestock is closely tied to the price of feed grains, and that it is impossible, over any period of years, to keep the price of cattle and hogs at sat isfactory levels if we allow the price of corn and grains to too low. Of course, livestock prices arc high right because so many people have been trying to restock since the drought, but if we continue to have a great sup ply of cheap feed the price of livestock is sure to come down.

Earlier this week the President I sent Congress a message urging the extension of our Reciprocal Trade Program. It is interesting to note that he has found great diffi- culty getting any Republican to sponsor his proposals. It seems to me that if we really mean it when we say Not that we must do everything we can to break down all trade barriers. Of course, we are going to have to face stiffer competition if we believe in trade, but is it not the only alternative to increased Foreign Aid? If we deny Japan, for instance, the right to sell in the United States, how do we xpect their people to live unless we feed them? Of course, they can join the communists and turn their trade to Russia and China. This is exactly what they will have to do I if we close our markets.

Dozens of nations are in the same shape, to a greater or lesser degree. I think we should actually trade with them and thus at least give us a chance to lessen our aid. W. Poage. Congressman lith Texas District iMsm week on the graves of Jesse Wall ing and John C.

CARLSON In the January 24 of the Hamar Arbeiderblad.

which is published in Hamar, Norway, a story and picture were carried concerning the 100th birthday celebration of Chris P. Carlson, of Route 2, Meridian, which was held at the St Olaf Lutheran Church in Cranfills Gap on December 31. 1957. Hamar, Norway, is a city of approximately 15,000 population, and it was in that section of Norway that Mr Carlson was living prior to his immigration to the United States in 1879. The story concerning Mr, birthday, which appeared in the Hamar paper, was written by Otto H.

Reesing. of Cranfills Gap. To go along with the story Mr. Reesing sent the plastic engraving of Mr. Carlson's picture which appeared in the January 3 issue of The Clifton Record along with his birthday writeup.

The editor was interested in seeing that the Norwegian paper was able to uso the plastic engraving, as the use of plastic for reproducing pictures is a relatively new process. month a project which was begun over two years ago by the inn County Historical Society, in connection with the State Historical Society, was completed at the Whitney Cemetery when monuments honoring two members of the Army of Texas were erected. The men so honored were Colonel Jesse Walling and his son, John C. Walling, who served in the Texa- Army during the War of Independence in 1835-36. The elder Walling participated in the Battle of San Jacinto with Sam Houston on April 21.

1836. Present at the Whitney Cemetery when the monuments were placed by the graves of the two soldiers was A (Buck) Greenwade. who for many years made his home in Bosque County. Mr. Greenwade.

a great grandson of Colonel Walling. was forced to sell his Bosque County property to make way for Lake Whitney and now is living on Route I 2. Aquilla. He first called the Hill County organization's attention to the graves of the deceased Texas pioneers. County Societies Formed When Allan Shivers was Governor of Texas, the State Historical Society formed county societies throughout the state.

Through the local organizations the state group hoped to find the burial places of the men who served Texas during its war with Mexico. Mr. Greenwade learned of the and contacted Ray McDearmon and L. O. Shelley, of Whitney, members of the Hill County society.

Messrs. McDearmon and Shelley I notified authorities in Austin, and state officials said that the monuments would be ready to erect on January 6. Present at the Whitney Cemetery for the ceremony of laying the monuments were Mr. Greenwade, Mr, McDearmon, Mr. Shelley, and Enoch Hayes, a relative of the Wallings by marriage.

The stones were put in place by the Rodrequez Monument Company, of San Antonio. Identical in size, the monuments were made of red granite. They read as follows: Walling. Participated in Battle of San Jacinto. Erected by the State of Texas 1957.

J. C. Walling. Serving in the Army of Texas 1836. Erected by the State of Texas Wallings To America In 1623 According to Mr.
