It is definite now that the
Gov. will ask for more money
for the Highway Patrol and for
the National Guard. He had
to advance mioney for the Guard,
from his emergency fund, to pay
salaries and expenses of Guard
units called up for hurricane
duty.
Major General James B. Tay-
lor, the state adjutant general,
said that the 2,300 men and 800
vehicles called out for hurricane
duty made up the largest peace-
time operation in Guard history
After Governor Daniel's aerial
tour of the hurricane-struck
coastal area, he estimated that
some 3,000 lives would have
been lost had it not been for the
organization of civil defense, co-
ordinating with local groups, to
evacuate the area.
He also estimated $400,000,000
loss to public and private prop-
erty.

"I can see now that we need
to provide more money lor the
National Guard and we need to
provide more Highway Patrol-
men, too," said tlie Governor.
"I am sure I will add those to
the call for a special session."
Rop. R. W. Pearcy Jr. of
Temple proposed that the legis-
lature permit cities and counties
to issue bonds to make loans to
disaster victims.
Speaker James A. Turman
asked the house general inves-
tigating committee to start an
inquiry into the payment of in-
surance claims as a result of
Carla. He said many hurricane
victims were surprised to learn
that much of the damage was
not covered by insurance. Ad-
justers held that their wind-
storm and hurricane policies did
not include flood damage even
though caused bp the hurricane.
Cfovernor Daniel, irked over
the adjusters' interpretations,
urged policy holders not to be
too hasty in settling their claims.
STORM CROP DAMAGE EX-
TENSIVE — The U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture at Austin
says the recent hurricane caused
the most extensive wind and
rain damage to crops, fields and
pastures, ever experienced.
Of the prospective 100,000
bales of cotton in the fields, a-
bout $11,000,000 worth was prob-
ably lost, the USDA said. Ad-
ditional losses will result from
grade reductions, the agency
. lates.
JANUARY SESSION TALKED
—Chances are that Governor
Daniel will have legislators back
in Austin during January.
Rep. Murray Watson of Mart
suggests that Daniel set up a
grass-roots committee of citi-
zens to bring in proposals for
removing inqeuities in the new
sales tax law for action at the
special session.
Comptroller Robert S. Calvert
continues to explain the law. He
ruled that the American Red
Cross is exempt from the sales
tax on its purchases since it is
an agency of the Federal gov-
ernment.
Calvert is studying a request
from some large industrial firms
that they be allowed to be "di-
rect" payers of the tax. Theory
is that life would be simpler ii
they could keep records and pay
the tax once each quarter, in-
stead of paying it hundreds of
times a day in the normal course
of business.
TAX DOLLAR ANALYZED—
Texas Legislative council has
taken a new look at where the
State's tax dollar comes from
and where it goes.
Study reveals that 52 percecnt
of it is derived from the several
types of sales taxes levied in
the state, including 15.8 percent
from the the new 2 percent lim-
ited sales tax.
Oil and gas production and
severance taxes account for 19.1
percent, business taxes 11.4 per
cent, motor vehicle registration
fees 9.5 percecnt, state property
taxes 4.1 per cent, inheritance
tax 1.3 percent, others 2.6 per-
cent.
Motorists get tapped for 33.9
percent of the tax dollar .in-
cluding the motor fuel tax af
21.4 percent, the sales tax at 3
percent, and registration fees at
9.5 percent. Nine per cent comes
from tobacco taxes and 2.2 per
cent from alcoholicc beverage
levies.
Our free public school system
is taking 33.9 percent of the tax
dollar. Highways and roads are
next at 26.8 percent. Public
welfare gets 15.8 percecnt. High-
er education comes in for 9.6
percent, while health, hospitals
and special schools account for
4.5 percent.
NEW FARM ROADS AP-
PROVED—A one year program
calling for construction of 613
miles of new farm to market
roads costing $15,200,000 has
been approved by the State
Highway Commission.
This was approximately half
of the usual program authorized
by the Commission, as the result
of Governor Daniel's veto of the
$15,000,000 for this purpose in
the second half of the biennial
appropriations bill.
Governor D&ntel fiUt out the
second year allocation in order
that more flexibility might be
attained in providing mainten-
ance for the farm roads system.
Since 1949, under the Colson-
Briscoe act $15,000,000 annually
have been earmarked for the
construction of farm to market
roads, causing all maintenance
costs to come out of trunk high-
way funds.
While this arrangement was
necessary for many years, to
build up farm road mileage, the
highway commission says the
problem now is financing the
maintenance of these roads.

Therefore, at least a portion of
the earmarked funds needs to
go for this purpose.
Action on this matter is ex-
pected in the next special ses-
sion of the legislature.
OIL PRODUCTION CUT--Al-
lowable yjl production in Texas
for October has been reduced
by an estimated 48,490 barrels
per day, on order of the Rail-
road Commission. Order was
tared or, estimated market de-
mands.
An eight-day producing pat-
tern was ordered for most of
the state. This will result in a
total allowable production of 2,-
683,214 barrels daily.
Eleven out of 12 major oil
purchasers of Texas crude oil
had recommended the eight-day
pattern. Sun Oil Company sug-
gested nine days of production.
TEXAS GETS MOON ROCK-
ET LAB-—Selection of Texas as
the site for a laboratory to de-
velop the nation's first moon
rocket was hailed by Governor
Daniel as one of the most im-
portant signs pointing to future
progress for the state.
"The Federal government's
choice of Harris County for the
$600,000,000 space laboratory
means that some of the world's
most important in the peaceful
conquest of outer space will be
undertaken at the location near
Houston," said Daniel.
"It will attract scientific per-
sonnel and plants to the state
and increase the importance of
the Houston area as a center
of civilian, military, space and
medical research," he observed.
RETAIL SALES INCREASE—
DON'T WIND UP
BEHIND THE
"EIGHT-BALL"!
COME IN TODAY AND DIS-
CUSS YOUR INSURANCE
Retail sales increased seven per
cent during August, the Bureau
of Business Research at UT re-
ported.
The impending sales tax which
went into effect September 1
was called a major factor in the
increase. Namely, buying before
the tax went into effect.
It was referred to as a "brisk
rise" compared to the two per
cent decline sales took during
July.
Furniture and appliance stores
led the field with a 23 per cent
increase for August, where the
usual increase jflrom July to
August is one per cent.
Apparel stores also increased,
primarily with the back to
school rush for clothes. Steady
increases were forecast because
of a Texas birth rate consid-
erably higher than the national
average.
Births in the first six months
of they year totaled 121,796 com-
pared with 115,730 during the
first half of 1960.
NEW MEDICAL SCIENCE—
Two University of Texas scien-
tists are looking into a new
branch of medical science
through which it may some day
be possible to determine in ad-
vance a person's susceptability
to certain diseases and ailments.
Drs. Robert J. Williams and
Frank L. Seigel, reporting on
the new science called "prope-
tology" in the American Jour-
nal of Medicine, say the techni-
que needs only to be developed,
that it must be based on increas-
ed knowledge about individual-
ity in the areas of anatomy, phy-
siology and biochemistry.
Knowing in advance who
might get what, the scientists
say it may De possible to avoid
such diseases as gout, arthritis,
atherosclerosis, musclar distro-
phy, multiple sclerosis, cardiac
and circulatory diseases, cancer,
allergies and numerous other
types of diseases and ailments.
"There is probably no single
disease among those mentioned
which might not be prevented, at
least to a substantial degree, if
we knew what the roots of re-
sistance are and took appro-
priate measures," they said.
