sension among workers.
Many topics have been
suggested for that special
session, and if Clements
added to the list last week,
he also discarded the possi-
bility of including a presi-
dential primary bill in his
promised call. On his tele-
vised "Governor's Report."
Clements ruled out the pri-
mary. and added he might
wait until August or Septem-
ber. 1980 to. call the special-
session.
That timing would move
ihe special session to just be-
fore the general election, in-
stead of just before the pri-
mary election in the spring,
as Clements had earlier in-
dicated he would do. Specu-
lation has it that Clements,
in the interest of building a
two-party state, will call the
special session to distract
legislative incumbents from
their respective elections,
thus creating advantages for -
their mostly Republican op-
ponents.
Supporters of Clemems
stress that he is more inter-
ested in passing his initiative
and referendum and, wire-
tapping hills, and the close
timing of the special call
will pressure lawmakers .to
vote his way.

'
Any light for unioniza-
tion would pit state employ-
ees against state taxpayers.
An\ such fight would pro-
duce only losers."
The 31,800-member TPEA
is Texas' largest state em-
ployee organization and of-
ficially opposes unionization
of state workers.
Clayton now joins Clem-
ents and Hobby as top-
ranking state officials who
oppose the unionization con-
cept proposed by State
Comptroller Bob Bullock at
a recent Texas AFL-CIO
meeting.
Bullock defended his con-
cept again last week, saying
that private firms were hir-
ing away top state workers
because state pay' is too low.
"Thousands of our state
workers are eligible for food
stamps, hut are too proud to
apply for them," Bullock
told reporters on a television
program.
Bullock called on Clem-
ents to include “a living
wage" in the special session.
Border Oil Commission?
Railroad Commission
Chairman John Poerner has
raised the idea of a border
oil commission between the
United States and Mexico to
oversee oil drilling in the
Gulf of Mexico.
Poerner last week wrote
to President Jimmy Carter
and Mexico President Jose
Lopez Portillo urging them
to consider the joint com-
mission to develop petroleum
resources in the Gulf. Drift-
ing oil -spills could be pre-
vented or minimized, he the-
orized.
The present oil spill in the
Gulf, which is sending large
patches of oil and "tar balls"
up onto Texas beaches may
he opening energy doors be-
tween Texas and Mexico.

Governor Elements thinks
he. is opening up "a whole
new exchange" with Mexi-
can leaders, and criticized
the press for "overstating"
the ill effects of the largest
oil spill in history. "It’s like
squealing before you’re hurt,
and we re not hurt yet.”
Clements also nixed the
idea of Texas $uing Mexico
for damages lo Texas beach-
es. and predicted the oil well
will be capped soon. He also
warned Texans to prepare
themselves for $1.50-per-
gallon gasoline in the future.
Lawmaker Eyes Switch
Dallas State Rep. Clay
Smothers, an ultraconserva-
tive black Democrat, said he
will switch parties and chal-
lenge Democratic U S. Rep.
Martin Frost next year.
Smothers is the first to pub-
licly announce he will change
political parties next year,
and he is not expected to be
alone.
Governor Clements pre-
dicts maybe 30 Democratic
office-holders will switch
parties before the 1980 elec-
tions.
Another touted crossover
possibility is Rep. Douglas
McCleod of Galveston, who
may leave the Democrats to
run against Sen. A R. Sch-
wartz as a Republican.
Meanwhile, State Rep:
Wayne Peveto intends to re-
main a Democrat if he runs
