AUSTIN—Insurance bills have
lagged. Water conservation mea-
sures are embroiled in dispute.
And virtually no start has been
made on a taxing program in the
legislature.
As a result, lawmakers are eye-
ing ■ possible special session.
Theoretical date for such a ses-
sion is May 11. On that date
the legislators’ pay for the regu-
lar session stops.
It has been suggested that Gov-
ernor Shivers may have foreseen,
a bog-down in the regular session,
and therefore has not pushed his
administration program. During
a special session, he would have
full control of subject matter
which may be introduced.
Tax Bill
Rep. Jerry Sadler of Percilla
introduced the biggest tax bill of
all.
Promising a lot of controversy,
the bill would levy a one-cent per
gallon processing tax on all gaso-
line and distillates produced in
Texas. It would: Raise an esti-
mated $160,000,000 a year, repeal
the present four-cent gas sales
tax, and head off the administra-
tion’s two-cent gasoline tax in-
crease.
Sadler said its effect would be
to reduce the price of gasoline
to Texans three cents a gallon.
Sixty per cent of the gasoline is
exported, tax-free, he said.
Meantime, Rep. Charles Murphy
explained he hadn’t yet asked for
committee hearing on the admin-
istration’s two-cent gas tax bill,
wanting sentiment to jell.
Some Fared Better
Passed by the house were bills
outlawing sale of lewd and deprav-
ed comic books; permitting women
to serve on juries; and regulating
leasing for uranium and hard
metals.
Amendments to the women’s
jury service bill narrowed consid-
erably, the list of those who may
be called to serve.
Furiously debated, the uranium
bill was attacked as a “give away."
Rep. Walling of Wichita Falls add-
ed two amendments. One will
limit each lease to 80 acres to
prevent one minor development
from freezing exploration on large
tracts. Another limits the pri-
mary term of leases to five years.
Interest was heightened by re-
ports of a real uranium ore strike
in Karnes County.
Ren. Maury Maverick’s bill to
prohibit cross filing of candidates,
by two political parties won a fav-
orable report to the House.
Also favorably reported was Rep.
I Tom Joseph’s bill to bring trust
j companies under supervision of
the state banking denarment.
Not Faring So Well
Stymied in a house committee
was a bill to increase the filing
fee of candidates for the Legisla-
ture to $300.
Killed by a senate committee
j was Sen. Crawford C. Martin’s
omnibus water conservation bill.
| It embraced nine suhiec1' carried
I in tlie series of administration
bills offered by Chairman D. B.
Hardeman of the water resources
committee.
Martin warned that unless the
Sena'e reconsidered and kept his
bill alive, all others would be
subject to being knocked out on
a constitutional point of order.
Grand Juries Take Over
Meanwhile, three grand juries
have stepped in on the veterans’
land investigations.
Bexar county grand iury was
quickest on the draw, with two
felony indictments. Then the De-
Witt Co. grand jury at Cuero fir-
ed a double-barrel broadside of
195 indictments against six per-
sons. DeWitt County Attorney
Wiley Cheatham started the whole
land inquiry.
Travis county grand jury, with
venue in every veteran's land
transaction, had piles of ammuni-
tion and District Attorney Les
Proctor had his thumb on the
hammer.
GFand juries in 10 other coun-
ties have had some contact with
the question.
Work by the senate investigat-
ing committee had dribbled down
to a schedule of sessions only
every other Thursday.
In intensive hearings each week-
end, the house committee ap-
proached the question of admin-
istration and operations in the
land office and veterans land
board.
Attorney General Shepnerd pre
dieted there will be “hundreds
of indictments.’’ and indicated
more civil suits were in prospect.
