The problem was this: Slush-

when a tooth is drilled. Slusher
is a dentist.
Dr. Slusher, who had been
practicing for 14 years, devel-
oped the allergy all of a sudden
a couple of years ago. Every
time he inhaled dental dust he
came down with a disabling
asthma attack. He says such an

NEW TAX Proposals — Gov
Preston Smith offered two tax
measures to Texas Legislators
last week as a means of bal-
ancing his proposed budget a
15-cents per package tax on
cigarettes and a one-half of one
cent gross receipts tax on chem-
ical products.
The governor estimated the
combined yield of the propo-
sals would be $71 million for
the biennium This new revenue
would fill the gap created when
a plan to divert royalty income
from state land into the avail-
able school fund was knocked
down by an opinion by the at-
torney general.
