We'd never even heard much
of Davy Crockett until six months
ago she said firmly.
Mm. McKenzie Is the descendant
of a family which owned tend next
to the term on which Sam Hous-
ton's widowed mother settled in
Tennessee. She made the trek hem
from Virginia with her nine chil-
dren. Young Sam was an avid reader
and averse to farm work. He used
to run away and live with tha
Cherokee Indiana who named him
The Raven.
His first mention hem was for
public drunkeness at the age ef
IS mid Mrs. McKenzie. He
walked up and down the stmeta
beating a drum and was charged
with disturbing the peace.
Baqring Presents
During the next year he opened
a adwol here to pay off debts of
108 a big amount in those days.
He had run up the bill buying
presents tor his mother and some
Indian maidens.
The previous teachers had
charged (8 a semester tuition
aid Mm. McKenzie "but Sam
raised it to 8 and insisted that
a third be paid in cash.
"His pupils ranged in age from
6 tp 80 years and so many came
that he had to turn some away.
Houstons teaching career was
brief. He ran up more bills as he
himself later admitted in riotous
living. In March ISIS a recruit-
tog officer came to town beet on
a drum and called aloud: Hear
ye; bear; If ye want to Join Gen.
Jackson's army to fight tha savage
dian come and take a dollar
from the drumhead and tills will
regularly enroll ye.
Young Sam egged on by a
friend stepped up and took his
dollar and became a soldier.
His military and political rise
after that was swift. Ha became
a governor of Tennessee; he later
commanded the army of Texas:
ted the Republic of Texas served
as a U. S. senator and governor
of Texas. He was deposed as gov-
ernor because he applied the en-
trance ef Texas into the Con-
federacy and died to 1861 at the
age of 70 with the fate of Union
till unsettled.
geheetteaeher Days
During his' test years someone
once asked him which of aU his
posts of authority had given him
the most pleasure. And rather wist-
fully the old frontier hero said ha
remembered best the task of being
a schoolteacher to the flood time
of his youth.

have triad to buy It and move It

about to fix it up properly either.

Bonus Reserve Plan
Offered By Russell
WASHINGTON IB-Ben. Russell
(D-Gs) moved today to prevent
compulsory reserve training for
veterans. He proposed instead a
(400 bonus" for any veteran who
volunteers for three years of ac-
tive reserve training with com-
bat units of tha Army or Marina
Corps."
Russell chairman of the Senate
Armed Services Committee thus
proposed a drastic change to Prec-
ident Eisenhowers program to
strengthen military reserves. The
program Is aimed at building the
present TOO.OOOman force to 2900-
000 by 1980.
Could Be Recalled
As passed by the House the bill
would provide that a reservist who
fells to keep up with his training
schedule may be recalled for 45
days of active duty.
Under presen tew a service
man is supposed to serve eight
years of active and reserve duty
but reserve training has not been
enforced. The House-passed MU
would cut the total to six years.
Russell contends that 800000
World War II veterans were re-
called to the Korean War white
many young men with no prior
military service escaped duty al-
together. Announcing his plan Russell said
ha also 'would propose that train-
ees under the new reserve pro-
gram could be assigned to nation-
al guard unite.
This could raise a new fight over
segregation.
House leaden dropped sU ref-
erence to the national guard from
the reserve MU after Rep. Powell

passed flic House test week after
urgent appeals fay Eisenhower end
defense officiate.
Among witnesses listed today
was Clarence Mitchell spokesman
for the National Assn for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People who
has been pressing for antisegrega-
tton amendments to reserve school
end housing legislation.
RusseU said hia bonus plan would
not apply to tiie Air Force or Navy
reserves because they have tes-
tified they can get aU the men
they need through volunteers.
Similarly it would not apply to
noncombat units of the Army and
Marine reserves or to commis-
sioned officers "only to experi-
enced noneoms and enlisted men
for combat units RusseU said.
Under Russell's proposal aU vet-
erans with at least 18 months ac-
tive duty would be placed to tiie
standby or inactive reserve unless
they volunteered for active reserve
training.
The Armed Services Committee
staff estimates that about 400000
veterans would Join reserve com-
bat units to the next three yean
under the RusseU plan. At (400 a
head that would cost 1(0 million
dollars.
"That would ha a smaU price
for a really affective reserve
