AUSTIN, Oct. 28 (AP).—The
Supreme Court held today that
betting on dog racing is not a vio-
lation of the state gaming laws.
It gave the opinion in connec-
tion with rulings on several cases
which had been consolidated to
clarify the law over which dis-
putes had raged for several years.
The court also ruled dog racing
associations cannot be enjoined
and closed as a public nuisance
such -as had been contended in a
case from Dallas county.
In the case of John Shook. crim-
inal district attorney against the
All-State Racing Association
from Bexar conuty, the court said:
“We do not find any provision
in the penal code defining gaming
which can be construed to include
dog racing or belting on dog rac-
ing. It is not a game prohibited by
law.?’

The governor said that while

He also said that many more
members of the legislature had
urged him not to call another ses-
session than had advocated one.
The governor said further he
would not sign immediately the
omnibus tax and Interest-bearing
pension warrant bills, enacted by
the legislature in final moments of
the session, but would leave that
duty to Lieut. Gov. Woodul.

Would Keep Carpenter
Nor would he have information
on who would be the executive di-
rector of the system, although he
said it would be “fine” if the pres-
ent director, Orville S. Carpenter,
could be persuaded to retain the
position.
“That is for the Board of Con-
trol to decide,” he said.
He expressed the opinion no
really needy person would miss a
pension payment during the cur-
rent financial tight, although
Nov. 1 payments might be delayed
slightly.
The new pension set-up must be
approved by the federal Social Se-
curity Board, but little doubt ex-
isted the approval would be forth-
coming. The board is reported to
have said the old Texas pension
law was too liberal.
Outstanding were enactment of
laws radically revising the state
old age assistance plan and cre-
ating a system of unemployment
compensation under the federal
Social Security act.
Under the old age pension sys-
tem it also had thrown additional
financial support in the form of
emergency measures to provide
uninterrupted assistance to Texas’
old people in need and a large
number of new taxes estimated to
yield approximately $8,000,000 an-
nually.
Harmonious Session
Closing moments were harmoni-
ous in sharp contrast to the days
of controversy when members
lashed each other and the gover-
nor over the bitter source of dis-
seation, the deliberalization of the
pension law.
Fighting to the last, opponents
declared that the old people of
Texas had been betrayed, while
champions asserted the state
would .never had been able to
carry the financial load imposed
by the present statute.
After hours of debate on the fi-
nal day, however, the house ap-
proved deliberalization by adopt-
ing an omnibus tax bill. to which
the controversial section had been
attached. by a vote of 100 to 45.
Because the senate also had
adopted the measure by a two-
thirds majority, the bill becomes
effective immediately on signature
by Governor Allred.

which holds the empire together;
that if the throne goes, the em-
pire dissolves. Because of this the
papers suppress anything that
may reflect adversely on the
throne.
If England no longer subscribes
exactly to the old doctrine that
the king can do no wrong, it
comes close to it. In any event if
a ruler should make a mistake the
press would protect him against
himself—that is. would safeguard
the dignity of the all-important
throne.
Thus far the public has chosen
to regard the king’s friendship
with Mra Simpson as a private af-
fair (though many Britons say it
is getting uncomfortably close to
being a matter of state), and Eng-
land never intrudes on royal pri-
vacy. So far as Edward is con-

LUBBOCK. Oct. 28 (AP).—
Rather than face possible charge*
in the brutal slaying of Juanita
Kelly in Cochran county, L O.
Cooper died by his own hand in
Lubbock county jail last night. He
had slashed open his left arm just
above the elbow and had bled to
death in his bunk in the hospital
ward. He was the only prisoner
in the jail.
Justice of Peace J. T. Trigg said
he would return a verdict that
Cooper, 32 year old farmer living
near Morton had committed sui-
cide.
After leading officers to th*
hiding place of Miss Kelly’s skirt
and the knife with which the 21
year old farm girl was slain th*
night of October 17. Cooper last
night had asked permission to
sleep.
“If you’ll let me sleep," he told
Sheriff Tom Able. “I'll finish it up
for you in the morning.”
Told of Slaying
Cooper had told how Miss Kelly
I had been struck over the head
with a heavy wine bottle. He had
said her body had been taken into
a sudan patch on his farm. Her
throat was slit and she was buried
there.
Cooper had never admitted he
slew the woman. He said “two
other men" who approached him
and Miss Kelly as they sat drink-
ing in his car, had slain her. The
knife they used he had admitted
to Sheriff Able and Deputy Sher-
iff Bedford F. Carpenter, was his.
The farmer, father of two
young girls, accompanied Sheriff
Able and Deputy Sheriffs Carpen-
ter and Grady Harris and a news-
paper reporter to Cochran county
late last night.
Cooper was not searched before
he was placed in the cell last
night. He was wearing clothing
he had purchased Sunday in Mor-
