State Draft Boards
Calls 2767 Men
!n August
Austin — State draft boards
witt forward 2,762 18-year-old
maies for Army mental-physicai
examinations in August. compareS
t.816 scheduted for July. Cotonet
Morris S. Schwartz, state Setec-
live Service director, said.
These tests are the result of
President Johnson's action earty
this year which ordered the Di-
rector of Setective Service and
the Secretary of Defense to ex-
amine ali newly-registered men
whoareoutofschooiandavaita-
b!c for service.
Coionel Schwartz stressed that
these youths witl not be con-
sidered for armed forces service
at this time. Normalty, a man is
not reached tor draft induction
untit about age 22.
Only about 225 of the oider
maies wiit be sent for the exami-
nations in August, and only 119
men are scheduled for induction
in that month. This is the lowest
induction cait the state has re-
ceived since Aprii 1961, when the
quota was only 85. The highest
monthty induction cat] sincethen
was 1,112 in September 1961, as
a result of the Berlin crisis.
The August quotas are sched-
uled to be placed in the maii to
local boards, Colonel Schwartx
said.
Males married at age 18 and
those known to be continuing in
school currently will not be ex-
amined. Also, high school gradu-
ates whose draft files show they
intend to enter coilege this fall
will not bp ordered. If a high
school graduate plans to enter
college this fall, he should notify
his draft hoard immediately.
The 18-year-old going for the
examination in August wilt be
those who registered at boards
dttringthefirst part of the year.
"The 18-vearoids scheduled for
examination in August," Coionel
Schwartz said, "are those in class
1-A, 1-A-O. and I-O who became
)8thisyear.theotdestgoingfirst.
The same rule is scheduled to
apply in succeeding months."
The examination of these youths
isapartof the President's actions
mi manpower conservation,
gencraltv referred to as the "war
on poverty." The ones who fail
the examination witt be referred
hvdraft board totters tolocaiof-
fices of the Texas Employment
Commission, where they wiii re-
ceive ad\ire and counsel on,jobs
and preparation for jobs.
The youths who get these let-
ters wilt be tinderno compulsion
to visit the TEC offices, but may
go if thev feel the government's
offer of possibte help will benefit
t'totn.

NEWS FROM
STATE CAPITOL
Austin. — New preliminary
steps, inching Texas toward the
inevitable rcaiignment of con-
gressional and legislative dis-
tricts, were taken last week.
Atty. Gem Waggoner Carr
asked that the federal district
court at Houston allow time for
the Legislature to redraw the
districts in its session next year
—the court had done earlier
with congressiottai apportion-
ment.
In view of U. S. Supreme
Court decisions that both houses
of the state legislature must be
selected on the basis of popula-
tion alone, Carr concluded that
there is little doubt that Texas
districts would be declared un-
constitutional.
Meanwhile, in Fort Worth
and Dallas a committee of the
Texas Legislative Council held
its first public hearing seeking
advice on how congressionai dis-
tricts should be redrawn.
A parade of witnesses was
heard before the committee re-
cessed briefty. It wili move to
Houston for its third hearing on
July 17. A fourth hearing will be
held in San Antonio. Commit-
tee spokesmen have indicated
they may go to West Texas, then
perhaps return to South Texas
for further testimony.
A session of the full Legisla-
tive Council, research arm of the
Legisiature, is scheduled for
July 27 in Austin. At that time,
the Council is expected to decide
whether to broaden its own
study to include the explosiv,
close-tto-homc problems p{ re-
carvinHthe state's House and
Senate districts.
SCHOOL FUND ALLOTMENT
APPROVED — State Board cf
Education raised the per student
Apportionment o? state avaiiabie
school fund tnoney to local dis-
tricts from $78.50 to $81.50.
This $3 per capita hike repre-
sents an overall $7,600,000 raise
in avaitabie fund aid to the dis-
tricts for 1964-65, based on a
current estimate of more than
2,500.000 students. {
Comptroller Robert S. Calvert
estimated the fund for the com-
ing school year at $218,300,000.
Board aliocated $10,500,000 to
finance the con! of purchasing
and handting text books. This
left $207,700,000 to be distributed
on a per capita basis
This increase means no increase
in overall state aid. Ailocations
to all but the few prosperous
"budget balance" districts for
salaries and operations' will be de-
creased by an amount equivalent
to the available fund boost.
Dr. L.S.Richardson, Brazos-
port Public Schools superintend-
ent, was appointed to the 1964
state textbook committee to study
books offered for school adoption.
Board also agreed to name a
study committee to look into a
proposal for a $1,400,000 junior
college at Pampa.
A policy change directed that
more time in driver education
courses be spent on behind-the-
wheel instruction and less oil
general safety lectures.
PARKS & WILDLIFE DEPT. —
Weldon Watson, director of the
Stale Department of Park &
Wildlife, reports that a lot of
people want state parks built near
the many reservoirs under con-
struction around the state.. He
feels, however, that nothing
t#touid he added until did parkss
are rehabilitated.
Watson made this statement
when he filed a request for a $25. -
700,000 budget for 1966-67. This
is an increase over the current
biennial budget of $11,000,000.
Included are $7,000,000 more for
parks and $4,000,000 more for
wildlife projects.
He pointed out that most of the
facilities in existing parks were
built by C.C.C. workers some 30
years ago, and they're in bad re-
pair. He said there's hardly a
beam in the cabins at populatr
Bastrop State Park that hasn't
rotted out.
But Watson described a poor
pay structure as the Parks and
Wildiife Department's chief ail-
ment. He said the starting salary
for game warden trainees Is a-
bout $330 a month is ao low that
It is impossible to recruit 'mew
