Plans Made Foi
Administering
Car Inspection
Homer Garrison, jr., director of
the Texas Department of Public
Safety, has announced that pre-
Ihrriary plans are under-wayfor
the administration of the^State'sf
new Motor Vehicle Inspection
act.
Recently passed by the 52nd
Legislature and signed into law
by Gov. Allan Shivers, the act,
which is designed to enhance
traffic safety by removing un-
safe motor vehicles from the
highways, will become effective
90 days after the adjournment
of the 52nd Legislature.
According to Garrison, an
ditional period of about 60 days
will be required to complete the
organization details of the th-
spectio/i division which, by law,
will fall under the supervision
of the Public Safety department.
Garrison "stated
owners and other individuals in-
terested in making application
for official inspection stations in
their areas may do so by writing
directly to him at Austin. The
proper application blanks will
be mailed to those making in-
quiry as soon as they are avail-
able.
Those selected will be subject
to a thorough examination of
facilities and equipment and
will be instructed in inspection
standards. Garrison further said
that no testing devices have yet
been approved and that it was
not advisable for applicants to
purchase such equipment until
his department has set up the
official standards for such de-
vices.

equivalent of that amount a]

tion Board.
' That is the gist of General
Wage Regulation 11 which the
W^ge Stabilization Board in
Washington unanimously adopt-
ed last week, it was announced
by William J. Rogers, regional
director of the-Wage-Hour divi-
sion of the U. S. Department of
Labor in Dallas. Wage-Hour of-
ficers of the Labor department
all over the country have been
designated as field contact offi-
ces for the National Wage.Stab-

Under Regulation 11, farm
wage rates below 95c an hour or
the piece rates paid for farm op-
erations may be increased to ,95c
an hour or the equivalent mone-
tary wage without approval of
the Board. However, in those in-
stances in which wage rates
paid during the base period of
1950 were .greater than 95c or
the equivalent an hour they
can be increased only 10 per-
cent without Board approval.
The base rate is the wage rate
paid during the applicable crop
season of 1950.. For example, if
