Thursday, Angwst SO, W74
AUSTIN. Tex — Battle lines
are drawn Tor the State
Democratic Convention here
September 17.
Liberal delegates, al-
though apparently outnum-
bered, asaerted their inten-
tions at a recent meeting in
San Antonio to claim tneir
full share of convention
pltims
— First, they made clear,
they will fight for propor-
tional representation on the
State Democratic Executive
Committee, the party's
policy-making and house-
keeping body in Texas.
— Second, they are de-
manding their share of the 76
delegates to the national
Democratic mid-term mini-
convention in Kansas City
next December.
— The liberals also made
preparations for expressing
their views on the party plat-
form, resolutions and rules
— Finally, they indicated
they may challenge Gov.
Dolph Briscoe’s choice for
SDEC chairman and other
top committee officers.
Choices of incumbent gover-
nors for these posts tradition-
ally have gone unchallenged
where they have majority
control of conventiona.
The "open party" Democ-
rats at the San Antonio ses-
sion adopted a platform
committing themselves to a
state party organization that
will support Democratic can-
didates and principles at all
jevels rather than "promot-
ing the policies of incumbent
governors."
Bob Bullock of Austin,
Democratic nominee for com-
ptroller, is being urged to op-
pose incumbent SDEC
Chairman Calvin Guest of
Bryan, Governor Briscoe’s
choice for a second term.
Meanwhile, the national
Democratic charter commis-
sion broke up in anger when
party regulars and reformers
clashed over reform meas-
ures in the proposed Democ-
ratic constitution.
GOVERNORS TO MEET —
Governors of the southern
states, Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands will meet near
here September 8-11 to dis-
cuss a wide range of prob-
lems, including econopiy and
energy. - n m .... >
Governor Briscoe-is host to
the Southern Governors Con-
ferenc^ which will* meed at
Lakeway. a luxury resort on
Lake Travis 20 miles north-
west of the Capital City.
About 300 reporters will
join the 19 governors and
thair staffs for the three-day
business meeting, and the so-
cial rounds of tennis, golf,
sailing and parties.
Gov. Melvin Evans, gover-
nor of the Virgin Islands, is
chairman of the Southern
Governors Conference for
1973-74.
INSURANCE JARGON HIT
—• The State Board of Insur-
ance is declaring war on "the
fine print, double talk and
gobbledy-gook" in insurance
policies, according to Board
Chairmen Joe Christie.
Christie said the average
policy holder cannot under-
stand policy jargon, and re-
cent tests snow Einstein's
theory of relativity is more
readable than an average
hospital insurance plan.
Christie said efforts will be
made in the next session of
the legislature to improve
"the readability factor” of in-
surance policies. He recom-
mended that other state
agencies give some attention
to similar readability prob-
lems involving documents
over which they have juris-
diction.
No-fault auto insurance
will be another subject for
legislative consideration in
1975, Christie told Texas
Bankers Association at a con-
ference here. He said a recent
study on the subject by the
Lyndon Baines Johnson
School of Public Affairs will
be of major help to lawmak-
AG OPINIONS — The Uni-
versity of Texas must give a
legislator access to files on
UT land leases, but may keep
confidential land appraisals
and sealed bid contents, Atty.
Gen. John Hill held.
In other recent opinions,
Hill concluded:
• Records of a city’s exercise
of licensing authority Over
electrical installations is
public information and
should be disclosed.
• Police supplementary re-
ports of accidents, including
witnesses' statements and
photographs, although in-
volving possible litigation
against a city, are part of the
official record and are not ex-
cepted from disclosure.
• A faculty member who
,. fails to.exercise the option to
participate in the optional
teacher retirement system
does not have the right to a
second opportunity to exer-
cise that option on returning
to teaching in Texas after
terminating previous emp-
loyment and leaving the state
to seek an advanced degree.
• Whether a water pump
and irrigation casing are fix-
tures within terms of taxa-
tion depends on facta in a par-
ticular caae.
• An individual who la not a
registered engineer may not
display or uae membership in
or certification by an associa-
tion using the term "en-
gineer" in ita name in his pro-
fessional or businoas ac-
tivities.
