Texas Big Bend National Park Proposal Urged by Dallas News
The Dallas News urges Congress and Texans to back a national park in the Big Bend area spanning Brewster and Presidio counties. It cites Santa Helena and other canyons, the Ghost Mountains, and rich Pacific-coast type pines as reasons to protect 1,000,000 acres on the U S side and cooperate with Mexico for a joint million-acre park. The piece calls for rapid action before the Centennial and emphasizes public support from Texans and Senators Connally and Sheppard.
