Highlights And Sidelights From
State Capitol
' John Tower of the Legislature s
efforts ai congressional reapjwr-
tionment.
FALLOUT SHELTER BUILT-IN EASIt
Tin- session closed out calmly,
eon Iras' to most of tlK>se of
the )>.isl After congressional re-
districting was disixxsed of two
<ia>s before the quitting deadline,
there wasn't much left to wrangle
;iU)Ut.
With the close of another ses
sion of the Legislature, permanent in
state c;tp;tol inhabitants turned
happih to om of their favorite
indooi pastimes — speculating
on the next elections.
Atts Gen Waggoner Carr so
far leads most lists of likely
Democratic candidates t>> oppose
GOP Sen John Tower next year.
although Congressman Jim Wright
of Fort Worth would like to be
his {Kitty's choice for the race.
Carr. in the past, has denied
any real interest in fjoinc to the
Senate. He lias concentrated his
plans on a race for covernor after
John Connally vacates the office.
However, he declines to close the
door on a Washington career at
this stage.
He cannot afford to. with odds
favoring Connally's remaining in
office for another term — and ; elected officials
another term could be four more two-year terms;
years, if the constitutional amend- • increase state representatives'
ment passes to double the elective terms from two to four years;

Twenty-five proposed amend-
ments to the Texas Constitution
were recommended by the 59th
Legislature. Amendments will be
voted on in three different elec-
tions during 1965 and 1966.
First election is September 7
on the proposal to increase size
of the state senate from 31 to 39
members.
Ten amendments will lie voted
on November 2. They would:
Extend to four years terms of
governor and other statewide
now limited to
Provide that school district
boundaries can be changed with-
out invalidating lax bond issues
span of statewide officials.
If Carr runs for the Senate,
apparently there will be a big field
battling to succeed him in the
attorney general's office. At least
a half dozen state senators report-
edly have their eyes on the job
Of the lot. Sen. Franklin Spears
of San Antonio has been busiest ^
so far
Lt. Gov. Preston Smith, who
makes no secret of the fact he
wants to run for governor, most
likely will run for re-election in
1966
Congressional races are shaping .
up on the assumption the new re- '
apportionment bill will stand up
If it does Sen Martin Dies .Tr
of I.ufkin or Rep. Charles Wilson
of Trinity likely will take on

Fourteen amendments on the

House Speaker Ben Barnes be-
lieves power of legislative con-
ference committees (which wrote
at least two dozen of the bills
passed in the last week of the
Legislature's session' should be
reduced. Rank and file lawmakers
also should have more to say
about how state money is spent
Barnes says.
"There were riders in the last
appropriations bills I didn't know
were there myself," Barnes ad-
mitted. "If you take the rider
provision away from conference
committees, that would accom-
plish a lot. The public suffers
more from riders than from dol-
lars and cents changes in con-
ference committee."

were used to build-in fallout

cost and without affecting the
buildings' looks or efficiency.
The publication, entitled "New

tion" (TR-27), also dispels the
notion that a fallout shelter has
to be single-purpose, under-
ground and unattractive. It
points out that all buildings
across the Nation provide some
degree of radiation shielding,
and many of these contain shel-\
ter space in above-ground areas.
Many other buildings have weak
points in shielding which could

Session Lauded
In an unusual closing address
to the 59th legislature. Governor
Connally lauded it as "the most
productive of any in this century."
Governor specifically cited work
in the areas of education, public
health, finance, water develop-
ment and congressional and legis-
lative redist rioting He recalled
that last January the 59th was
faced with "a greater and more
varied assortment of problems
than any legislature in modern
times" and educated predictions
were that lawmakers could not
solve all of them without one or
more special sessions
Connally disagreed with critics
who insisl the redistricting bills
will be knocked out by federal
court. He thinks the bills will
meet the courts' test.
