...with a radio-TV plea that Texas voters make up his mind for him. Last week, in response to his request that Texans tell him what he ought to do, 29,000 of them sent him messages urging him to run for governor.

Forthwith he ordered his own ministers to supply their own transportation and decided that they must work with their hands once every month in a village, "to get closer to the little people."

The Communist Pathet Lao regime, which had grabbed some 13,000 sq. mi. of northern Laos in flagrant violation of the Geneva cease-fire agreements, began as a Viet Minh appendage. In the past year Ho's agents have built it up into a tightly disciplined Communist state, complete with full-dress government ministries, a capital at Samneua, brainwashing squads and a conscripted army of 10,000 men trained, supplied, and controlled by 1.500 or more regular Viet Minh troops...
