lty VERN SANFORD
Texas Press Association
It starts all over again Mon-
day. July 28. Legislators will be
back at the capitot, finishing
lip the finance chores they left
dangling In their regular ses-
sion.
Gov. Preston Smith, who call-
ed the special session after he
rejected lawmakers’ no-tax, one-
year budget and insisted on
adoption of a balanced bien-
nial appropriations bill, ap-
parently will spell out his rec-
ommendations on opening day.
Smith has been conducting a
series of talks with business and
industry leaders, exploring tax
ideas. Legislators are expected
to have to come up with a rev-
enue measure totalling $306
million or more.
Governor abandoned the idea
of waiting until after the Au-
gust 5 vote on an $80 million
welfare spending limit and oth-
er proposed constitutional amed-
ments. Advisors and legislative
leaders told him lawmakers will
need every one of the 30 days
allotted for the special session
to complete the big money job
at hand.
Key legislative loaders have
done some spadework on a $5.6
billion two-year budget for the
fiscal period extending through
Aug. 31, 1971. No major diffi-
culties are anticipated here al-
though some hitches could de-
velop.
New court bills also are being
drawn in preparation for special
session effort to enact a meas-
ure to replace the courts meas-
ure vetoed by Smith last month
as reaching his desk too late.
Water for Texas
Another state has offered
Texas an option to purchase its
surplus waters. State Water De-
velopment Board Director How-
ard Boswell revealed recently.
Boswell spoke in answer to
criticism of Constitutional
Amendment 2 on the Aug. 5
ballot to authorize $3.5 billion
in bonds to finance a master
wafer plan for the state.
Campaigns for and against
the proposed amendment are
heating up as election date
nears. Proponents led by the
Governor’s Committee of 500
argue that its failure would be
"catastrophic” for the state and
that the bonds will prove to be
money makers for Texas as well
as permitting 'orderly develop-
ment of water resources.
Opponents, sparked by State
Sen. Charles Herring of Austin,
wildlife conservationists and
strict-economy groups, contend
that cost of the contemplated
program would be tremendous
and that delay for a year or two
of added study is justified.
Nine amendments will be vot-
ed on Aug. 5. Major interest
centers on water bonds and a
proposal to raise the welfare
spending coiling. Annual ses-
sions of the legislature and
higher pay for lawmakers are
among oilier amendments to be
decided. A "Nine for Texas
Committee" is leading a cam-
paign for the entire package.
Insurance Probe
Two tough critics of the in-
surance industry on occasion
were named by the governor to
Ids nine-member citizens com-
mittee which will investigate
aulo policy rate increases.
Smith named the panel after
State Insurance Board staffers
recommended an 11.4 per cent
rate increase.
Chairman will be former Gov.
Price Daniel, who took on the
insurance companies in 1961
when claims arising from Hur-
ricane Carla damage were be-
ing rejected.

Courts- Speak
Supreme Court affirmed a
farm anti-picketing order which
labor unions claimed blunted the
strike of field hands in the Rio
Grande Valley.
Court also upheld the Ector
County District Court's decision
that it did not have jurisdic-
tion in a libel case brought by
Nathan Curry of Odessa against
Dell Publishing Company be-
cause' a story in “Front Page
Detective” said he was guilty of
a murder after he had been
found not guilty by a Palo Pinto
County jury.
A former employee of Sears,
Roebuck and Company had no
good reason to wait 16 months
before filing claims for on-job
Injuries, Supreme Court said.
Third Court of Civil Appeals
overruled state cancellation of
two Rio Grande Valley water
permits (of 1918 and 1928),
Court of Criminal Appeals
threw out the conviction of
San Antonio man who dressed
as a woman in public because
be was tried under an old Ku
Klux Klan law prohibiting the
wearing of masks in public.

Dear Friends,
Tuesday, July 15, Secretary
Hardin opened the hearings be-
fore our committee in regard to
an Agriculture and Food Stamp
Bill. He placed most of his em-
phasis on the desirability of
greatly increasing the Food
Stamp Program. I have always
supported the Food Stamp Pro-
gram. I still support it but I
don’t believe that it is wise to
try to simply outbid everything
that anybody has ever previous-
ly suggested in the way of aid
to the needy, and I do think
that if we are to distribute food
at prices at which the non-
tndigent (the masses of our
people) can buy it, we are go-
ing to have to give our first at-
tention lo the production of that
food Tire hearings will continue
and we will give both sides an
opportunity to present their
views.

and went down to
Cape Kennedy and witnessed
the history-making take-off of
our Apollo 11 moon shot. It
was awe-inspiring. Although the
TV unquestionably gets pictures
from better angles than our
vantage point, there is simply
no substitute for actually see-
ing the performance of a great
enterprise like this. I know we
will ah be praying that our men
are able to return safely.
Today I am going with mem-
bers of our committee as the
guests of the people of the Pan-
handle of Texas to visit that
great rep: on and especially to
see their rapidly developing
cattlemen have enjoyed a little
better price than have other
agricultural producers for the
last several years but they have
not yet reached parity and the
public is already blaming cattle
producers for this rise in the
price of meat at the retail
counter. In most instances this
retail price has increased much
more rapidly than has the price
of animals but I would certainly
want to warn our cattlemen
that if they are to retain the
public support, which they de-
serve, they must be able to con-
tinue to supply all of the meat
that our consumers want at a
reasonable price. This probably
means that there must be a
very definite increase in the
size of our bleeding herds.
On Tuesday the House passed
a bill to extend and enlarge the
Special Assistance Grants to
the so-called Appalachian reg-
ion. This region runs from
Pittsburg to Atlanta, and, as I
see it, should be considered on
the same basis as all of the rest
of the United States for govern-
ment assistance. I, therefore,
voted against the bill.
On Thursday we passed legis-
lation to overcome the decision
of the Supreme Court which
had In effect held that states
and local governments could
not tax the property of Nation-
al banks. I think that this prop-
erty should be taxable on ex-
actly the same terms as any-
body elee’s property^ L there-
fore voted for the bill.
Enrollment Begins
For Hill Junior
Hill Junior College will begin
registering students for the fail
semester on Wednesday, Aug 6.
Registration will continue on
through the month of August,
and classes will begin on Sept.
2, the day after Labor Day. By
beginning classes in early Sep-
tember, the students will be
able to complete their final
exams before the Christmas
holidays.
The busses will run on the
first day of classes. They will
travel approximately 600 miles
each day with routes extending
into Bosque, Johnson, Ellis, and
Hil! Counties.
Texas Traffic
Toll Is Up
Motorists are advised by the
Texas Safety Association not
to become complacent because
traffic deaths are down slight-
ly. "There were 6,749 more ac-
cidents and 1,748 more persons
injured in them during the first
four months of this year,” Geo.
Will. Perry, Dallas, President,
Texas Safety Association, said
this week. ‘‘We are very pleased
that 74 fewer persons were
killed during this period but the
fact that the total number of
accidents and injuries increased
is a clear indication that the
overall traffic safety picture is
not improving.
“Costs of traffic accidents are
steadily increasing. The price
of replacing a front door on one
of the best selling cars is $15
more than it was a year ago. On
this same model, it now costs
$5 more to replace the wind-
shield and $12 more to replace
the front fender. The cost of a
front bumper is up $9.
"With injuries, accidents and
their costs on the increase, it is
time for Texas motorists to de-
cide to drive defensively and to
insist that all traffic laws be
firmly and lalrly enforced.
“The new breath test law
which becomes effective Sept.
1st ofters great hope for a re-
duction in the number of traf-
fic accidents, but this hope can
only pc realized if all Texans
see to it that the new law is
properly enforced. The bill for
traffic accidents will continue
to grow if a sincere and deter-
mined effort Is not made by
most motorists, Mr. Perry con-
cluded. _
