SjjTATE CAPITA I
AND
(Omitted Last Week)
AUSTIN, Tex., May 8.—From
here on, the Legislature must
make every minute covint if it is
to wind up essential business
before the regular session ends
on May 29th.
Despite the dwindling time,
filibusters, postponements and
disagreements have slowed pro-
gress on tax-raising and other
"must" legislation.
3he House-passed two per
pent sales tax faces two ulti-
matums. Gov. Price Daniel
*pd that he could not allow it
> become law unless the total
money-raising program puts
ore of the tax burden on busi-
.ess and less on individuals.
Sen. Henry B. Gonzalez of San
Antonio said he would fili-
buster against the sales tax if
it comes up in the Senate.
State Compt. Robert S. Cal-
vert estimated that the House
sales tax bill would raise in ex-
cess of $150,000,000 a year. This
is higher than other estimates
and would provide enough or
nearly enough to meet the esti-
mated revenue needs. Calvert,
by law, has the final and offi-
cial say-so on tax yield esti-
mates.
Governor Daniel's veto threat
chilled earlier optimism about
an early wrap-up of money
problems and turned House
members to thinking again in
terms of compromise and "pack-

Spending Conferees
A 10-man conference com-
mittee is at work ironing out the
differences between House and
Senate versions of the general
appropriations bill.
House bill would cost about
$16,000,000 more than the Sen-
ates. Committee's task of strik-
ing a balance between the two
is expected to take three
weeks.
Senate members of this im-
portant committee are Sens.
Ray Roberts of McKinney,
A, M. Aikin, Jr., of Paris, Craw-
ford Martin of Hillsboro, Grady
Hazelwood of Amarillo and
Wardlow Lane of Center.
House members are Reps.
James Cotton of Weatherford,
Bill Hollowell of Grand Saline,
B. H. Dewey of Bryan, J. W.
Buchanan of Dumas and Mal-
colm McGregor of El Piaso.

Teacher Pay Pushed
Advocates of higher teacher
salaries are pushing to get
their bill in position for quick
final action once the money-
raising and general appropria-
tions measures are out of the
way.
House Appropriations Commit-
tee approved and sent to the
floor a bill that would provide
the full $800 a year salary in-
crease sought by teachers.
Goal is to get a pay raise
bill passed in both house, then
send it to a conference commit-
tee to work out the differences.
Then at the strategic moment,
it would be ready for final
adoption by both houses.
• ♦
Training Methods Scored
House members are pressing
for speedy action for a measure
that would require less empha-
sis on "how" and more emphasis
on "what" in public school
teacher training.
Rep. Henry C. Grover of
Houston, a teacher on leave, is
sponsor of the bill that would
reduce required education
(teaching method) courses from
24 semester house to 12 for ju-
nior and senior high school
teachers. For grade school
teachers, the maximum would
be reduced from a possible 60
to 24 semester hours.
One supporter observed that
the late Albert Einstein wouldn't
have been able to teach mathe-
matics in a Texas high school.
House voted to instruct the
Education Committee to report
on the bill immediately.
* * •
Re-Districting Hits Bump
Senate efforts to pass a sena-
torial re-districting bill were
postponed by Sen. Jep Fuller's
filibustering opposition.
Senator Fuller of Port Arthur
oppose the proposed measure
because it would continue to
combine Orange County with
Jefferson (Beaumont, Port Ar-
thur) to form his district. Jef-
ferson County alone has more
than enough voters to be a one-
county district, says Fuller, and
Orange would rather be in an-
other district with counties of
the same size.
Pressure to force agreement
on a re-districting bill will be
very strong since, if the Legis-
lature fails to act, a non-Legis-
lative Board will take over.

Gloomy Reports
While lawmakers struggled
/o find new taxes, the news
about present taxes was bad all
over.
State Treasurer Jesse James
reported that Texans apparent-
ly are not smoking and drink-
ing like they used to, causing
a million-dollar slump in tobac-
co and liquor taxes in April.
Revenue droped from $8,689,855
in March to $7,362,176 in April.
Motor fuel tax revenue was
also off, according to State
Highway Engineer DeWitt C.
Greer. A three and one-half
per cent drop during the past
eight months cost the state
$3,000,000.
Meanwhile, 'n the Third Court
of Civil Appeals, the state lost
in an effort to collect a state
sales tax on component parts
of radio sets, such as hi-fi tuners.
Court said the law is not clear.

Loan Dispute Flairs
Words were not, but the is-
sues unclear, as Senate com-
mittee hearings on a small loan
bill stretched out.
Critics of the House-passed
bill fell into at least two fac-
tions: (1) those who felt the in-
terest rates (up to 40 per cent
on the smallest loan) were too
high and (2) those who felt that

More "Neatniks" Needed
Amid its $7,000,000 a year job
of gathering up mountains of
litter from public roadsides, the
Texas Highway Department is-
sued a plea to Texas motor-
ists.
Please don't use the highway
as a trash can, said the Depart-
ment; be a "neatnik" and save
on state costs.
Most of the litterbugs, says
the Department, are home
grown, not out-of-state visitors.

Action and Reaction
After thousands of college
students took a long, riotous
week-end in Galveston, the
Senate called on the Higher!
Education Commission to looH
into why the students weren't
at their books. •
In the opposite wing of thef
Capitol, the House passed two'
measures concerning the Gulf
Coast area.
One would authorize the state
to turn over 88.5 miles of Padre
Island to the federal govern-
ment for national park develop-
ment. Other is a proposed con-
stitutional amendment that
would give city and count?
governments authority to regu-
late traffic and sanitation on
adjacent state-owned beaches.
A state agency, such as the
Highway Department, would be
authorized to set flexible speed
limits, according to road condi-
tions, under another proposal
for constitutional change given
House approval.
House also passed a proposed
constitutional amendment re-
moving the present $47,000,000
a year ceiling on state welfare
spending. Change would allow
Legislature to appropriate for
welfare as needed, up to the
amount that would be matched
federally.
Sixteen-year-olds accused of
very serious crimes, could be
tried as adults rather than in
juvenile court under a House-
passed bill. Present minimum
age for adult handling is 17
for boys, 18 for girls.
Running for one state office
while holding another would be
barred under a proposed con-
stitutional amendment giving
preliminary House approval.
A11 proposed amendments
have to be approved by the
people in the 1962 general elec-
tion before becoming effective.

Short Snorts
A group of steel importing
firms are seeking court action
to stop the State Highway De-
partment's ban on use of foreign
made products in state highway
projects. Suit was filed in a
Travis County district court.
Construction contracts let
during the month of March in
Texas set a record for thai
month of the year, reports the
University of Texas Bureau of
Business Research. Economists
did not expect the peak to hold,
but help ohpe that the renew-
ed vigor meant the end of the
building slump.
Texas' unemployment picture
also brightened during March.
Total number employed rose to
3,387,300, and unemployment
declined by 28,100. But the
number of jobless persons wa
still higher than for the same
month last year, said the Texas
Employment Commission.
Rep. W. T. Oliver of Pert
Neches has announced that he
is a candidate for Speaker of
the House in the next Legisla-
ture. Oliver is generally re-
