MEWS FROM AUST!N
W. W. GLASS
The past week has been perhaps
the most bitter and strenuous of the
entire session of thi- Legislature.
One night we worked until 2 A. M
The most bitter question before u?
: not reported out by the committee
until last Monday. So it could be
taken up by the House on Tue-day.
The rules require a bill to be printe
and on the desk for 24 hours beture
both houses must quit. Moreover, it
is a privileged resolution and can
be laid out at any time. And. if it is
defeated, it or a similar resolution
can be brought up the next hour.
So we have been forced into
several bitter fights during the past
week. Those of us against early ad-
journment are in the majority, but
cur majority ha been small. In fact,
we won one decision by only four
votes. Those for early adjournment
have kept "whips" in the back of
the House keeping counts on us.
They watch for the most favorable
times t'j bring up the resolution.
Whenever a few of u^ are gone to
the Senate and other the\
try to get their forces in and call
for a vote on sine die adjournment.
The lobbyists for the big gas
companies and certain other cor-
porations are seeking to get the Leg-
islature to adjourn sine die. If the
Legislature adjourns, they know
that ail of the tax bills will be dead:
for the Revenue and Taxation Com-
mittee ha.- not yet reported any of
jts59tax bills favorably. And the
lobbyists reaiize that the Legisla-
ture, if it stays in session much
longer, is likely to do something
about teacher-pay raises and old-
age assistance.
The two items, old-age as.-istance
and teacher-pay rai^^. are '.tie oniy ;
.major items left now :hat are likely .
to call for appreciable increase; in
expenditures and therefore more
taxes. The fight over the salaries
for state employee- i own His!
very doubtful nav, '.hat the h <.-.pital
employees can expect more in the
way of an increase that) about S15.00I
per month, or $180.00 per year, al-
ready given them.
Our resolution proposing to sub-
mit a constitutional amendment to
the people on old-age assistance was

final day of the session, the day I reported favorably by a committee

for the people to vote on. So
the
Legislature will have to remain in
session some weeks longer, if wt
are to succeed in giving more tnone.s
for old-age assistance. Old-age a -
sistance will have little chance, ii
we are forced to adjourn soon.
There are many angles involved
;n teacher-pay raises; and the
eachers will not get a raise of one
iollar. if we adjourn soon. Besides,
here arc many bill?, such as those
ieaiing with water districts, judicial
edistricting and one hundred other
-ubjects. that will be killed by early
idjournment.
Of course, the Senate has to ap-
prove the sine die res-olution after
t is passed by the House of Rep-
csentative.-; but the Senate will
jrobably accept the date set by the
House. ^
Industrial Production
The Federal Reserve Board rc-
)orts that the nation's industrial
.roduction hit a new post-war peak
n March. It estimated that the in-
rstrial index would reach 241,
ased on the 1935-39 average of
t)0. thus continuing the trend
which ha- been upward since last
August.
U. S. PRISONERS
The Army Surgeon General's of-
kt'ha>;innoun^d that Americans,
i it .-ed by the Communists under
he agreement for an exchange of
^ ii k and wounded prisoners in Ko-
rea, wit] be returned to the United
States as swiftly as possible. Air
transportation will be used
wherever possible.
