Ramsey's New Dem Committeeman Post Sparks Texas Debate
Lt. Gov. Ben Ramsey, age 52, named national Democratic committeeman from Texas, prompting questions about his influence on Texas politics. Ramsey, quiet and retiring, was elected by the Fort Worth state executive committee to replace Wright Morrow. House Speaker Sam Rayburn and Sen. Lyndon Johnson praised the choice as a unifying, inside-track appointment. Gov. Allan Shivers urged conservative control of next year’s Democratic conventions to protect Texas interests against federal power, while a Duval County court ruling threatens to reopen a months-long grand jury corruption investigation and indictments, including former school chief R. I. Adams. Additional indictments may be refiled or reheard as the appeals court reviews grand jury validity in Seguin and related cases.

Well Known Forecast Babson Reviews Stock Market Break
Babson Park Massachusetts, November 4. A reprint of a 1929 New York Times article recalls his forecast of a pending big break in the stock market. He notes the Dow Jones Industrial Average near 358, after a strong rise since 1952, and warns of another severe 5 to 75 point market drop. He argues yields are too low after 1954 taxes and cites new market crosscurrents. He compares current conditions to 1928 1929 and 1923, warning abrupt shifts possible due to armament spending and advertising.
