In an ed- itorial appearing last Tuesday un- der the heading, “Don’t Hinder the Aggies—Let Reveille Run Free,” this is what The Press had to say about the Southwest Con- ference ruling to have “Rev” muzzled for halftime perform- ances : “We’re going to put in our two- bits worth in support of The Bat- talion, Texas A&M’s newspaper. “The Battalion editorially has asked the Southwest Conference to revoke a rule requiring dog mascots at SWC football games either to be muzzled or kept on a leash. “The rule was passed after ‘Reveille,’ A&M’s famed mascot, bit an official and an opposing coach during a game two years ago. “Last Saturday, before some 50,000 folks in Rice Stadium, A&M’s magnificent 240-piece band at halftime—as always—put oh a show that warmed the heart. “There’s 'just nothing equal to that big Aggie band when it takes the field—blowing and going— with musical and military preci- sion set in a brilliant blaze of sturdy young manpower. “ ‘Reveille’ took the field too.

Nixon into the lead for California’s 32 electoral votes, with the prospect that the final count would name him the victor over Presi- dent-elect John F. Kennedy, in California. Nixon’s edge was 1,702 votes, with the counting still in progress. Kennedy had led all the way in the tally of regular bal- lots, ending with a majority of 34,568.

He added that Churchill will have to stay in bed “for a little time.” Churchill stumbled and fell as he came home Tuesday midnight from an engagement. Ike Orders Economy Program AUGUSTA, Ga.—President Eisenhower yesterday or- dered a sweeping seven-point economy program aimed at saving a billion dollars a year in overseas spending. As part of it, he ordered the gradual return beginning Jan. 1 of 284,000 overseas dependents of U. S. military forces around the world. The White House estimated later that the emergency moves, approved after months of top-level study, would cut down by one billion dollars the amount of dollars spend abroad in 1961.

The chairman emphasized that, even though the campaign is offi- cially over, workers will still con- tinue pressing toward collecting the almost $4,000 remaining. Leipper said he felt the main reason for this year’s shortage has resulted from poor worker-cover- age of the College Station area. He even declared there is a slight possibility the drive may be reor- ganized to insure coverage of these areas. Leipper said those areas prop- erly covered have submitted col- lections about as expected and can not be blamed for the disappointing shortage. Leipper said checks from persons that have not been contributed may still be mailed to Michael V.' Krenitsky, drive treasurer, at Cushing Memorial Library.

Nit Kiwanians Hear 6-Point Safety Push By RONNIE BOOKMAN The Texas Department of Pub- lic Safety is pushing a six-point program to reduce traffic acci- dents on Texas highways. This program of proposed legis- lation was presented yesterday to the College Station Kiwanis Club at a luncheon in the Memorial Student Center. Capt. E. K. Browning of Austin said that over 500 people lose their lives in Texas traffic every year. He added that the death rate was six persons in every 100 million auto miles compared to a much lower rate in most eastern states. Browning listed the Texas Safe- ty Assn, approved points as fol- lows : State aid for driver education for all pupils in all schools; Stronger driver’s license laws to modernize the present laws; A chemical test law to define intoxication; A Court of Records for traffic cases; Increased patrolman strength— from the present 700 to 1,500 in the next ten years; and A workable “speed manage- ment” law in which the Highway Department could determine the speed limits for the area. Browning said that the first point would tend to make people, and especially young people, safe- ty conscious, and that safety con- sciousness just naturally led to safer driving. He added that funds for this instruction would be available through state aid. The present driver’s license law was first passed in 1936 and re- vised only slightly in 1941, Brown- ing said. Point three was explained in that there is no real foolproof legal test for intoxication. Legis- lation in this field by other states has recently been passed, he said. A Court of Records for only traffic cases would free other courts for the business they were set up for, and speed up the wait- ing time taken for most traffic offenses, he said. The fourth point, that of patrol- man strength, said Browning, is visibly apparent to anyone in the traffic safety field. The greatly understaffed Highway Patrol could be many more times effec- tive if it were up to strength. Browning explained the last point by saying that on many Texas highways the safe speed limit could vary both up and down from the set rate. IN NEW ORLEANS school auditorium at 8 p. m.
