of home improvement contracts,"
Miskell said.
Companies and personnel were
directed immediately to slop any
activit.v in violation of Texas' Re-
gulatory Loan Act or new Con-
sumer Credit Code.
Practices complained of include
cash advances on home improve-
ment loan; i primarily for debt
consolidating as an inducement
for contracts at interest rates
over 10 per cent. Some interest
rates, an aide to Miskell said,
range from 18 to 24 per cent.
A Houston finance company has
filed suit in di-erict court here,
challenging Miskell's authority
under the Regulatory Loan Act
to regulate its purchases of dis-
counted note- executed by home-
owners to improvement contrac-
| tors.

hcarinc on a damauo suit arisitu:
from a chartered plane crash that
may result in new lecal guide-
lines for cases involving Texas

cient in handling the charge ac-

state court agreed, but ruled out
damages, finding no intentional
or malicious effort to harass him
over collections
In another case, supreme Court
threw out an ippeal of a driver
who claimed suspension oi his li-
cense was not proper because one
of the traffic convictions which
suspension was I ased on was in-
\ a lid.

that a man who voluntarily con-
fessed murder to police before
he was arrested cannot use as de-
fense contention he did not net

En tens ion economist at Texas
W'M I nivti'-ity. This is so. he
adds, because of the large nmunt
of farm resources available for

The recent study by the Na-

suggested that the solution lo

mu,g expect to find noiifarm
johs lot the eciuivalent of 40 pcr-
ui' its current manpower by
lUS'i in order to avoid continued
depressed incomes for farmers.
This study he said, also in-
dicates we are farming millions
more acres than we need, and
essentially wasting the labor and
capital that farmers invest in
these exlra acres.. New techno-
logy actually replaces farmland
by increasing th" production per
acre.
Future agriculture will use less
labor and land, and each produc-
tion region will specialize more
in those crops and animals that
give il the greatest competitive
advanage.
Agriculture will alio be more
responsive to the specific needs
of consumers. The nation's con-
sumers will benefit from this
trend toward a free market as
products will be produced at a
lower relative cost,
