AUSTIN, Maieh 261 (AP
—Governor Allred today ve-
toed a bill intended as an en-
abling act for the constitu-
tional amendment transfer-
ring much of the chief execu-
tive's clemency power to *
non-partisan board. It was his
first exercise of the veto this
session.
The governor enumerated a num-
ber of reasons for returning the MD
to the Legislature but devoted most
space in his message to the section
of the measure permitting mem-
bers of the pardons board to have
headquartan when they choe and
requiring them to spend at least U
days in each month on prison prop-
erties interviewing prisoners.
The provision was a compromtse
between the Senate and the House
after the former favored location
of headquarters in Austin, a pou-
tion also taken by the governor, and
the latter voted for HuntovlUo, site
of the state penitentiary.

The governor laid he believed the
board would not be able to func-
tion efficiently until the question
was settled one way or another by
the Legislature. He said the pro-
vision requiring 15 days time on
prison properties was impracticable
of efficient performance. And he
further objected to a section making
it a misdemeanor for a board —

"Car owners who pay their reg-
istration fees late in March should
take part to the highway planning
work now being conducted by filling
to and mailing the postage free, self-
addressed post cards handed to them
at the Tax Collctor’s office," said
George C. Edwards, State Manager
of the Highway Planning Survey.
"Motorists should guard against any
'tendency to neglect this valuable
work during the rush and confu-
sion of registration, since success
of this effort to give car owners
a direct chance to help plan their
own highways depends on their co-
operation during the days when the
greatest number of cars are regis-
tered. This survey is of major Im-
portance to most counties because
the facts compiled will be used
to forming the policies which gov-
ern construction and maintenance ot
highways but will also be used to al-
locating future Federal and State
funds that will be used in improv-
ing secondary roads in many Texas
counties."
Denton County stands to gain ma-
terially in furnishing information to
reliably portray needs, yet Denton
County, according to a recent re-
port, has only returned 374 of the
self-addressed cards to the Highway
Department. The cards should be se-
cured when registering your auto-
mobile at R. T. Haynie's office, and
