AUSTIN, Tex. — Battle lines
are drawn for the State
Democratic Convention here
September 17.
Liberal delegates, al-
apparently outnum-
asserted their inten-
tions at a recent meeting in
San Antonio to claim their
full share of convention
plums.
— First, they made clear,
they will fight for propor-
tional representation on the
State Democractic 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 conventions.
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 ail
levels 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 oi prob-
lems, including economy and
energy.
Governor Briscoe is host to
the Southern Governors Con-
ference which will meet 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
their 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
Chairman Joe Christie.
Christie said the average
policy holder cannot under-
stand policy jargon, and re-
cent tests show 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. Pie said a recent
study on the subject by the
Lyndon Baines Johnson
School of Public Affairs will
be of major help to lawmak-
ers. \
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 ana 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 facts in a par-
ticular case.
• An individual who is not a
registered engineer may not
display or use membership in
or certification by an associa-
tion using the term "en-
gineer” in its name in his pro-'
fessional or business ac-
tivities.
COMMITTEES NAMED —
State Democratic Chairman
Calvin Guest named an elec-
tion advisory committee to
plan statewide rallies and ex-
tensive voter registration
and get-out-the-vote cam-
paigns to help Democratic
nominees.
A pre-election statewide
telecast is also under consid-
eration for the party’s
nominees.
Members of the committee
include all statewide Democ-
ratic nominees, Guadalupe
County Democratic Chair-
man Lem Allen, Travis
County Chairman Ken Wen-
dler, Midland County
Chairman Vann Culp, Tar-
rant County Chairman Estil
Vance, Swisher County
Chairman R. T. O’Daniel.
Also Democratic Congres-
sional Candidates Bob
Krueger of New Braunfels,
Jack Hightower of Vernon
and Mike McKool of Dallas
and seven members of the
State Democratic Executive
Committee.
SCHOOL AID APPROVED
— Seven Texas school dis-
tricts and four regional edu-
cation service centers will re-
ceive a total of $191,091 in
federal funds to develop mod-
ern planning, budgeting and
program evaluation techni-
ques in 1974-75.
The grants will go to El
Paso, Galveston, Birdville,
Waxahachie, Irving, New
Caney and Lockhart and to
ESC regions in Edinburg,
Corpus Christi, San Angleo
and El Paso. A second round
of grants totalling $79,599
will be awarded later this
fall.
SHORT SNORTS
A Houston federal court
decision held unconstitu-
tional a requirement that
campaign literature contain
both the name of the person
paying for it and identifica-
tion of the printer or pub-
lisher who prepared it. The
state will appeal.
Texas Republicans gener-
ally expressed disappoint-
ment that National GOP
Chairman George Bush of
Houston did not get the vice
presidential nomination, al-
though most had no objection
to Nelson Rockefeller.
Joe Bill Watkins is resign-
ing as executive assistant to
Attorney General Hill, and
will be succeeded by David
Kendell. Watkins will return
to law practice in Houston.
Governor Briscoe has
asked Armstrong County be
added to the list of counties
designated as disaster areas
due to prolonged drought in
Central and West Texas.
State Banking Department
received an application for a
Twin City State Bank at Tex-
arkana.

Play vital to children, adults
Play may seem foolish and a
waste of time to adults — but for
children, hours spent playing are
important ones, according to Ilene
Carrington, family life education
specialist.
"Play provides opportunities for
children to learn about their envir-
onment, to learn by doing as they
play. It provides an emotional out-
let and a chance to prepare for fu-
ture roles," the specialist with the
Texas Agricultural Extension Ser-
vice, The Texas ASM University
System, said this week.
Physical play — running, climb-
ing and jumping — builds large mus
cles and improves coordination.
"Fine body muscles develop and
eye-hand coordination improves
through the kinds of play where a
child manipulates or experiments
with various materials."
When a child cuts, paints, builds
with blocks or investigates how a
magnet works, he is also developing
physically and mentally. He learns
to try different alternatives and to
solve many problems, she said.
"Another advantage to play is that
the child learns to get along with
other people. Learning to share,
take turns, and respect the rights of
others is not easy to learn. Group
games and sharing toys help children
learn these difficult lessons. "
Dramatic or imaginative play al-
lows children to become more socia-
ble and express emotions more free-
ly. When a child plays dress-up,
store or having a party, he's imitat-
ing adults he has seen — and learn-
ing roles he'll need as an adult, the
specialist said.
