AND
AUSTIN — A governor's com-
nittee soon will embark on the
nost-ambitious effort yet un- |
lerfaken in Texas to find what's i
wrong with the public schools
,nd to make them better.
Governor John Connally rapid-
y i|s completing appointments
.0 his 15-member committee on
[public school education which
was authorized by the 59th Leg-
islature. It is expected to be in
[operation within the next month,
activities, to a large extent
(parallel those of the earlier Gov-
ernor's Committee on Education
Beyond the High School which
probed needs of higher educa-
tion. However, this new assign-
ment necessarily is more mas-
sive.
A three-year study of the pub-
lic school system and formula-
tion of a long-range plan to
make Texas "a national leader
in educational aspiration, com-
mitment and achievement" was
directed by the Legislature. Con-
nally insisted the study require-
ment be made a part of the
school teacher pay act of 19G5.
State financing to the tune of
$100,000 this year and $150,000
next year is provided for—with
additional funds expected from
federal sources.
Every state agency and insti-
tution and all state and local
school officials are directed by
the Legislature to cooperate with
the committee in a "pervasive
inquiry into every facet ofTexas
public elementary and second-
ary education."
Meanwhile, the Coordinating
Board for Texas Colleges and
Universities — a product of the
earlier higher education study—
has set October 18 for its next
meeting here. Session will be
the powerful board's first real
chance to get. down to planning
foil higher education needs since
its organizational meeting Sep-
tember 20.
ATTORNEY G E N ERAL
RULES—A person placed on
probation for first-offense driv-
ing while intoxicated is not sub-
ject to automatic suspension of
driver's license, Atty. Gen. Wag-
goner Carr has ruled.
In an opinion requested by
Fort Bend County At'y. R. A
Stalling;? of Richmond. Carr
concluded that since a probate,''
sentence is not a final convic-
tion, there is no automatic
license suspension. If p: ' iti'in
is revoked and judgement be-
comes final, the license would
be suspended at that lime, Can'
said.
Opinion settled widespread
speculation on terms of the new
Misdemeanor Probation Law.
In separate opinion, Carr held
a newspaper printed by con-
tract and mailed in one county
for distribution in another coun-
ty legally is eligible to publish
Constitutional Amendment ad-
vertising. Secretary of State
Crawford C. Martin requested
the opinion, referring specifical-
ly to the Ganado Tribune, cir-
culated in Jackson County, but
printed and mailed in Lavaca
County.

River.
Contention is that it precludes
the construction of a dam to sup-
ply Mitchell County needs and
hurts their hopes for future de-
velopment.
DAM PERMIT ON NUECES—
An application has been filed
with the Texas Water Rights
Commission for a proposed dam
on the Nueces River at the
Smyth Crossing site in the Za-
vala-Dimmit. Water Improve-
ment District No. 1.
Application proposes a reser-
voir of 66,6670 acre-feet at nor-
mal spillway level, 164,350 acre-
feet. at service spillway crest.
A slow release of flood waters is
proposed.
RESERVOIR REFUSED —
Texas Water Rights Commission
denied application lor $4,750,000
•=?servoir on Village Creek near
Kountze in Hardin County.
Commission acted after op-
ponents testified the project
would mean an added tax bur-
den of $308,992 a year for pro-
perty owners in the southeast
Texas area and that additional
33,000 acre feet of water which
ihe dam would impound will not
be needed for more than 30
yefrs.
Advocates were advised they
could reapply for creation of a
district empowered only with
making surveys to determine
feasibility or to develop plans
for a water supply program if
desired.

: liberal in de-
IVrinonl poMcies for students.
Col. Mori is S. Schwartz, state
Selective Service director, still
is recommending deferment of
undergraduate students enrolled
for 12 or more semester hours.
A student is recommended for
deferment, only if there is evi-
dence to prove he is making
progress toward his bachelor's
degree in ofur years, or in ifve
if the degree requires additional
study, Schwartz said.
A student may take even less
than a full load if he is able to
complete his college training in
four or five years.
Colonel Schwartz said draft
headquarters would not recom-
mend deferment of students tak-
ing less than nine hours.
Those who drop out of school,
carry less than the full academic
load, or are placed on scholastic
probation, can expect termina-
tion of deferments.
About 450 Texas doctors have
been ordered to take required
physical examinations by Texas
draft boards as part of anticipat-
ed calls for doctors, dentists and
veterinarians to enter active
armed forces duty in aJnuary.
At the present time, only
those born in 1937 or later will
be affected.
