WHOPPER DROUGHT —Texas
will have another mighty drought
by 1970, is the prediction of Judge
J. E. Sturrock, of the Texas Water
Conservation Association.
Gigantic sunspots, many month;
old, still are raging at the center
of our solar system, says Judge
Sturrock.
When the great gusty winds of
the universe die down, snd the so-
lar tumbleweeds stop tumbling,
about 1970, Texas will have an-
other mighty drought.
Meanwhile, Texas' rains and its
"little droughts” like the current
one, will follow each other in their
normal seasons, says this leaning
thority on Texas water.
COTTON PICKING MONEY —
Cotton picking is brightening the
outook for a lot of people who are
concerned with the state’s budget-
ary problems—especially those In
the Texas prison system.
Dr. George F. Beto, director, re-
ports that fair weather for the next
month during harvest would mean
a $2,000,000 crop from the system’s
10,000 acres of cotton.
TEXAS OR MEXICO. — Gov.
Price Daniel says it will be up to
the officials of El Paso whether
the claim of Mexico to a section
of El Paso will be honored.
The dispute over a section called
Chamizal involves about 400 acres
of land, and stems frpm a change
in the course of the Rio Grande
which flows through El Paso.
GOLD PLUSH—House members
returning to the Capitol this win-
ter will be walking softly in the
House chamber whether they in-
tended to or not.
A plush new gold carpet is re-
placing the old tattered and thread-
bare one.
Plyboard was laid over the 1,000
square feet of floor to add strength
and provide a smooth, even base
for the new carpet.
In addition to the carpets and
fresh paint, the ancient oak panel-
ing has been restored to its natural
finish.
MOORE ROAD FUNDS — Con-
tracts for building Texas highways
may be stepped up by $5,000,000
a month under an order unfreezing
$1,900,000,000 from a backlog in
the federal highway trust fund.
J. C. Dingwall, assistant chief
highway engineer, estimates that
$91,000,000 more federal funds will
be released to Texas as a result.
NOT A FAIR DEAL—Land Com-
missioner Jerry Sadler opposes re-
newing the state lease of Mata-
gorda Island to the federal gov-
ernment for a bombing range.

Exhibit will travel we*t from
Floyd County; then move to East
Texas for October date*; and to
South Texa* in November.
A & M GETS REPRIEVE—“For
Men Only" apparently will con-
tinue to be the policy, for at leaat
one more year, at Texa* A A M
College. The touchy matter of ad-
mitting women students has been
temporarily side-atepped by the
Texas Commission on Higher Edu-
cation.
On the commission's July meet-
ing agenda, the issue was suspend-
ed when the commission staff
pleaded more time was needed for
the study. Another school year
will be underway before the mat-
ter can be given any further con-
sideration.
AMENDMENTS STIR CAM-
PAIGNS—At least two of the 14
Of Texas Tech, who are working
on a master plan for Texas' recrea-
tion facilitiea.
But Jess M. Irwin Jr., governor’s
budget director, and Vernon A.
McGee, director of the Legislative
Budget Board, were reluctant to
recommend the legislature's appro-
val to a plan to:
Spend $600,000 to improve the
newly-donated Wheatley Ranch in
Blanco County (which already has
a state park); $550,000 at Lake
Whitney State Park; $650,000 for
a new park in the Big Thicket; and
$300,000 for a new park at Falcon
Lake.
WILDLIFE FAIR FARES WELL
State Game and Fish Commission's
wildlife exhibit is such a prized at-
traction at fairs, sport shows and
other community events that it's
being booked on a first-come, firat-
serve basis so everyone will have a
chance to see it.
T. D. Carroll, G & F Commis-
sion's coordinator of Information,
said the exhibit—made up of live
bird*, mammal*, reptile* and fish
of Texas—will go on the road Sep-
tember 4. First ahowing la sched-
uled for the Floyd County Fair on
September 6-8.
Corrective legislation is being
studied.
Dr. C. J. Ruilman, director of
mental health and hospitals, say*
faculties for 9,000 elderly people
would be needed If the legislature
decides to care for them some
where other than the mental hos-
pitals.
PARKS PLAN DEBATED —
State budget official* and parks
experts differed on the popularity
of the state’s 50-plus public parks.
Parks Board told the Legislative
Budget Board it wants $2,100,000
to improve four parks and increase
funds for others.
Reese Martin, vice-chairman of
the board, claims record attend-
ance. His optimism about public
use of state parks was shared by
Elo Urbanovsky and Charles Doell
U. . S. Bureau of Public Roads
figures show Texas will complete
its portion of the Interstate sys-
tem at an estimated $600,000 per
mile, compared to the national av-
erage of about $1,000,000.
MENTAL HOSPITALS CROWD-
ED—County Judges are blamed for
cramming state mental hospitals
by committing too many old peo-
ple, who really just need rest-home
care.
Board for State Hospitals and
special schools reports that some
mental institutions—especially the
Kerrville State Hospital and the
Aly
Confederate Home at Auatin—are
so crowded with old people there
isn’t enough room to care for the
state’* mentally ill.
Board member W. G. Kirklin of
Odeaaa said he ha* been told that
some Juvenile delinquents, who
aren’t mentally ill, are also being
routed into mental hospitals by
Judge*.
TEXAS IN TOP THREE—Texas
returned to the No. 3 spot among
the "Top Ten" states, in industr'a’
expansion, as the Texas Industrial
Commission announced the addi
tion of 28 new industries.
Although the big Houston and
Dallas areas captured 17 of the
new plants, 11 companies picked
non-metropolitan towns as indus-
trial sites: Bushland, Comfort,
Crockett. Denton, Jacksonville,
Kaufman, Lewisville, Malakoff,
Marfa. Mount Pleasant and Quan-
ah reported new Industries.
TIC is a state agency dedicated
to stimulating more business in
Texas by cooperating with cham-
bers of commerce and other local-
level groups In bringing more In-
dustries to the state.
Allen Searight, commission's
community coordinator, will speak
at several industrial development
meetings over the state during the
next month.
DOUBLE TAXATION — Texas
Commission on state and local tax
policy has suggested that virtually
all intangible personal property
held by Texans be exempt from
taxation. This includes taxes on
bank accounts, securities, mortga-
ges and similar financial assets.
HIGHWAY COSTS LOW—Texas
is building Its Interstate Highway
system for almost $400,000 a mile
less than the national average, ac-
cording to the Texas Highway De-
partment,
proposed constitutional amend-
ments Texas voters will consider
on November 6 appear to be firing
campaigns.
Proposal No. 14 appears to be
Stirring opposition from the Texas
Municipal League which asserts
that this amendment as presently
written “could virtually destroy
municipal government in Texas,
except for certain of its police
powers."
Proposal No. 4 on the ballot
would permit the state to buy con-
servation storage in locally or fed-
erally-owned reservoirs. Gov. Price
Daniel has called a special meet-
ing of his statewide water advis-
ory committee for September 10,
for the express purpose of organiz-
ing support for the amendment.
SCHOOL PRAYER RULING —
Atty. Gen. Will Wilson has been
asked to advise Texas public
schools regarding the U. S. Su-
preme Court’s highly controversial
prayer opinion.
Request for an interpretation
from Wilson came through Dr. J.
W. Edgar, commissioner of educa
tion, on a query from school offi-
cials at Port Arthur.
Wilson was asked:
1. Whether a school board can
permit a student or teacher to say
the blessing before meals in a pub-
lic school, without running afoul of
the Supreme Court decision?
2. Whether school may author-
ize “a period of sildnt meditation”
during the meal period?
3. Whether Bible-reading is per-
missable in homerooms or on as-
sembly programs?
4. Whether the court's opinion
