SIDELIGHTS
FROM YOU* STATE CAPRAL
By VERN SANFORD
Texas Press
AL6TIN, Tex. - You
ly didn't know it, but 291 holi-
days will be celebrated In Tex-
as in the coming six months.
Most of the holidays aren't
statewide observances. But
Monday’s June IS Vegetable
Festival, the May 7 Panola
County Queen Pageant, Boer-
ne’s April 24 Saengerfost, and
Raymondville’s April 15 Onion
Fiesta are In the offing. Stowe 11
as 287 other local celebrations.
In order to help Texans and
tourists keep track, and plan
their travels accordingly, the
State Highway Department has
published a Texas Calendar of
Events. It covers the period
from April 1 through Septem-
ber.
For the first time, the High-
way Department also has is-
sued a Calendar in Spanish,
to serve *a remarkable surge*
of tourists from South of the
border.
FEDERAL DOLLARS FLOW-
Legislative budget writers,
nearing the end of a long trail,
are confronted with a new pro-
blem. Question la how to an-
ticipate the effect on state fin-
ances on an unprecedented flood
of federal dollars flowing In-
to a variety of programs.
Some think a special ses-
sion of the Legislature may be
necessary, after final con-
gressional action, in order to
tie down overlooked matching-
fund requirements.
Tow proposed federal pro-
grams are preolexing the ap-
propriations bill conferees:
1. Medicare-hospitalization
and health care for the aged,
blind, disabled and children-
now on public assistance rolls.
2. The elementary and se-
condary education act which
passed the House of Represen-
tatives In Congress. It would
provide over $85,000,000 to
Texas schools next year.
Conferees, wrestling with the
problem of bow to balance the
books, or recommend new tax-
es, hope to figure some way
that federal fends can be used
to reduce pressure on state
school money.
Medicare offers some com-
plex questions as to how much
money the state must provide
in matching fends to meet fed-
eral program requirements.
" With new federal programs
springing up In all areas, vet-
eran Texas lawmakers are
looking toward annual sessions
of the Texas Legislature. They
say the state’s antiquated sys-
tem of biennial budgeting soon
must yield to one-year financ-
ing and annual sessions If Tex-
as is to keep in tine with con-
gressional operations.
SERVICE MERGER -Twen-
ty Texas communities will lose
their sUrndby military service
units under the state's plan
for merger of Army National
Guard and Reserve forces.
Plan, already approved with
reservations by Gov. JohnCon-
nally, will be sent to the De-
partment of the Army tide
month. The Pentagon has or-
dered Texas forces trimmed
by 4,600 men and 155 organized
units.
Communities which would
lose their Guard units under
the state plan drawn to eon-
form with overall U. S. direc-
tives are Belton,Breckenridge,
the 90th Infantry Division will
be -located in South Texas and
headquartered In San Antonio.
The 49th Brigade, successor to
ths 49th Armored Division, will
include troops located In North
and East Texas. Its headquar-
ters will be to Dallas. Austin
will be headquarters for the 36th
Brigade. It replaces the 36th
Division, with units in Central
and Southeast Texas, Houston
likely will retain the 75th Man-
euver Area Command, An artil-
lery group headquarters would
be located In Wichita Falla,
with units from West Texas
and Panhandle-Plains area.
WATER PLANS MOVE-
Senate passed and sent to the
House key water proposals re-
commended by Governor Con-
nally.
One would make the Texas
Water Development Board, a
six-member agency, ths state’s
official water planning agency.
Another would authorize
$200,000,000 in additional bonds
for construction or purchase of
water storage facilities. Ear-
lier the Senate passed a mea-
sure giving the Texas Water
Commission a new name-the
Water Rights Commiasion-and
authority to decide water rights
and conflicting claims. _
ENLARGED SENATE RE-
APPRO ACHED - Senators saw,
bugs in’the plan they passed
earlier to enlarge their mem-
bership from 31 to 39, guar-
anteeing all but five Incumbents
terms extended through next
year’s elections.
So, Sen. Louis Crump of San
Saba introduced a new version
which would require all Sena-
tors to run for re-election in
1966 if they want to keep their
Jobs. New measure quickly won
committee approval.
Increasing terms from four
to six years still Is a fea-
ture of the *big senate* plan.
If approved by the legislature,
it will go to voters July 24.
Senators think it will be rela-
tively painless way out of re-
districting for them.
A Senate bill to legalize var-
iances of 15 per cent over and
under the* mathematical popula-
tion average for House axISen-
ate districts also received com-
mittee approval. This despite
warnings that federal courts,
which ordered districts of e-
qual population, might disap-
prove. '
