NEW AUTO INSURANCE RVTES
SET — Texas automobile owners
will pay less for auto insurance
beginning August 1
$Pte Insurance Board and in-
ihrntry spokesmen agreed on the
new .rates, which will average out
1.2 percent cheaper. Statewide
than last year.
Board estimated motorists
wilt save $3,000,000 in premiums
compared with 19<í3. However,
raf{>S will vary from area to area.
Liability insurance rates reflect
f- Statewide increase of 3.S per
cent, and medical payment cover-
age will increase about 8 7 pe"
'■enl. Collision coverage will be
redlJCed .5 per cent.
Overall reduction in rates is
due primarily to a 15.5 per cent
cut in comprehensive coverage,
due io low wind and hail storm
damages last year.
LAWMAKERS FACE T O II G H
JOB — An already "tough" job
faced by Texas lawmakers in
the 50th Legislature will be com-
pllfóted even moie by "issues of
high emotional content," Lt. Gov.
Preston Smith feels.
The issues, according to the lieu-
tenant governor, include: proposal
to'legalize parimutual betting
on horse races, sale of lirruor by
1 he" iJJ'ink in eating establishments,
control of oyster shell dredging
on the Gulf Coast, an oil and gas
"pooling" bill, further controls
on water pollution, repeal of the
poll tax and another proposed
constitutional amendment to guar-
antee- equal rights to women in
pro-pert y and business man-
agement.
"The Legislature will need a
coronation of many virtu res if it
dispases of all the important and
controversial legislation 'aid be-
fore it," Lt. Gov. Smith told
approximately 250 mayors and
couneilment gathered in the capi-
talxity for an institute on muni-
cipal problems.
1%ree major "musts" confront
the-Xegislature next year. Smith
said. These include: deciding the
future course of higher educa-
tion, financing education and
"other vital state functions", and
at tentative recommendations of
his Committee on Education Be-
yond the High School. But dis-
agreements over financial details
prevented the report from being
a final one.
Committee members will meet
again on July 13 - 14 to finish
the job. Chairman H. B. Zachry
promised the report will be pre-
sented to the Governor and Leg-
islature by the August 31 deadline.
Lawmakers of the 58th Leeisla-
turo appropriated $175,000 for the
studv aimed at pointing the way to

IND'AN SETTLEMENT OUT
—• Cherokee Indians, run out of
East Texas in 1839 by n Republic
of Texas army, have failed in an
attempt to "recapture" claims to
lands they were forced to leave.
Atty. Gen. Waggoner Carr gave
the "no" sign to a proposed set-
tlement of their claim to 2,500,000
acres of land in Smith, Cherokee,
Van Zandt, Gregg and Rusk coun-
ties.
Cherokee Indian Nation, through
general counsel, Earl Boyd Pierce,
several months ai¡ro proposed that
Governor Connally set up a his-
torical fact-finding commission
to review the claims.
For each acre of land the com-
mission might find the Indians
were unjustly ousted from, Pierce
recommended one dollar be allo-
cated by the slate to a trust fund
for higher education of worthy
Cherokees. This money would
draw five per cent interest an-
nually, and at the end of 25
years, the Cherokees would re-
turn the corpus of the fund to
the state, releasing all claims,
the plan of settlement would re-
quire an unconstitutional appro-
priation by the Legislature, there-
fore neither he nor the Governor
is authorized to pursue it.
