Austin, Texas—At a Joint
meeting of the Governor’s High-
way Safety conference and the
Texas Safety Association, Gov
Price Daniel said that good
traffic safety legislation still is
lacking because citizens "have
never taken enough time and
trouble to tell their legislators
exactly what they want."
He said that five bills which
have failed to pass will be in-
troduced in the January ses-
sion, “regardless of the ident-
ity of your next governor.
These concern:
1. State financing to pay the
salaries of driver-education tea-
chers In public schools.
2. Complete revision of the
driver-licensing law.
3. A chemical test law for
use In cases of driving while in-
toxicated—designed to free the
Innocent and provide medical
evidence against the guilty.
4. Adequate city and county
traffic Courts of record to han-
dle traffic cases with efficiency
and Justice.
5. Authorization for addition-
al highway patrolmen and addi-
tional pay for Department of
Public Safety personnel
Although the Legislature
lately approved 51 additional
highway patrolmen, a $300 in-
crease in pay and set a floor of
$4,947 annual salary, the gov-'
emor reported the patrol still is
150 men short of its authorized
strength of 804 He feels the
pay hike was insufficient.
VOTERS LIST
bu Vern San
Comptroller Bob Calvert ad-
ded up the poll taxes and ex-
emptions sent in by the coun-
ties and found 2,355,159 Texans
qualified to vote.
This is an increase of 300,000
from 1958, the last non-presi-
dentlal election year. But it is
virtually the same as the num-
ber of qualified voters in 1952.
SOU holding the record Is
1980 with 2,599,924 Texans qual-
ified to vote.
TEACHERS QUIZZED
Texas school teachers are
pretty good at answering their
examinations.
Texas Education Agency sent
out questionnaires to about
95.000 school people. They ex-
pected a 30 per cent return but
92.000 answered.
Questions were part of a Tex-
as Legislative Council study of
teacher training.
Results will be fed through
computers to give lawmakers an
idea of what school people
think about the way public
schools are run and how teach-
ers are trained. .

loans. So another $15,000,000
worth of bonds will be sold.
Major project helped so far by
this state program is the Toledo
Bend reservoir on the Sabine
River near Newton. It will get
a $15,000,000 loan over the next

PADRE STUDY
Herb Petry, chairman of a
special committee to study the
various proposals for making
Padre Island a recreation area,
said the committee will have a
meeting in April to decide on its
recommendations.
Governor Daniel appointed
the committee after differences
developed as to whether Padre
Island should be turned into a
recreation area by the federal
or state government.
A bill In Congress has au-
thorised federal purchase of a
large part of the island as a
national seashore area. But the
bill has not passed the House
of Representatives b e c a it s e
South Texas Congressmen favor
a smaller area, If any at all.
GI FARMS
Veterans Land Board has sold
20 repossessed GI farms for
$19,000 more than it had invest-
ed in them.
But it turned down bids on a
Grayson County tract which
drew 33 bidders.
Board tried, but failed, to put
a block deal back together by
advertising for bids on an 860
acre farm in Zavala County.
Board had set the minimum bid
at $150,000 but nobody bid.
Only qualified veterans who
have not made GI land loans
were eligible to bid on the
tracts.
PROFESSORS PAY
Two University of Texas de-
partment heads told their trou-
bles as they movedn into a nfw
$4,000,000 business and econom-
ics building.
Dr. Carey C. Thompson,
chairman of the economics de-
partment, said he recently lost
a good faculty member to the
University of Rochester which
bid up his salary from $7,800 to
$13,000 a year.
Dr. John Arch White of the
College of Business Administra-
tion said his college had not had
a full staff since the end of
World War II. Last year he
needed to hire 12 young instruc-
tors but could only find eight
and then lost four of them.
Other employers outbid his sal-
ary limits.
The two departments have a
fine new building but are hard-. , _ , . _ ___,
