In Fort Worth April 16 an 18-year-old high school student, C K Crow, and three companions examined a so called bomber at the airport. A zealous officer grabbed the bag, returned it dripping with ice cream, and warned there will be no bombs on this trip. Concurrently in Amarillo a tax hike protest looms over a 20 to 50 percent valuation rise for about 70 percent of homes.

The George Ehrenberg Company conducted the survey at a cost of 9000 dollars for three units. The court and taxpayers await further action.
