Drought Panel Looks to Federal Refinancing for Ranchers
The Roswell Chamber of Commerce committee recommended immediate low interest refinancing by the federal government for ranchers with exhausted credit. They urged including feeders in aid to stabilize stock disposition, citing one third of New Mexico ranchers out of business since 1950 amid a seven year drought. The plan awaits confirmation after further meetings before President Eisenhower’s visit.

Rabbit hunting accident injures boy and girl in New Mexico
A 16 year old boy Robert Phillips and a 16 year old girl Barbara Watson were wounded when a 12 gauge shotgun discharged during a rabbit hunt east of Dexter. Phillips was shot in the top of the right foot and Watson in the right leg above the ankle. The incident occurred as Eddie Clark reached for the gun while riding in a car driven by Phillips. Both were taken to the medical center. Bond for Jimmie Archuleta was set at 300 dollars after he pleaded innocent to assault in the wounding of barmaid Refugio Lucero. A 17 year old boy faced U S District Court action on theft of a 1956 Chevrolet sedan. He waived preliminary hearing and was bound over with bond 1500 dollars.
