in the mo.-t Solemn Bull he has
is*u-*l. called on Catholics thro-
ughout the world to rally against

"<3 d must be asked insistently,"
h. said in part, "that the rigltt
of th. churrh be maintained un-
harmed and entire against plots,
d.s-eit*. and persecutions."
Should anyone audaciously dare
to oppose thr celebration of the
Holy Year, be *aid. "he will incur
the indignation of Almighty God
and of the blesacd apostles Peter
and Paul."
H" urged peace among individ- I
uaR houshold*. Rations and "«•- |
perially m Palestine." He ncomised
full pardon for sins to all Catho-
lics who visit Rome'* four major
lias lica- and perform prescribed
rituals during the Holy Year.
The pope signed the document
as "P'us. Bishop of the Catholic
Church." Previous bills he ha is-
sued were sign.-d simply, "Piua
P. P. XII."

Jubilee Year celebration of the

4. In several of the chief house-
keeping services of government—
supply, records management, and
building maintenance—there are
shocking instances of wasteful
practice* and poor business man-
agement. Recommended; Put gov-
ernment supply operations on a
businesslike basis. This can result
ir. "enormous savings."
a. Waste* in overlapping and
duplication are exemplified te wat-
er resource development where
there are conflicting jurisdictions
between the army engineers and
bureau of reclamation; te land and
forrestry management, where in-
terior and agriculture compete;
and in hospital construction where
four agencies, including th* veter-
ans administration, vie with owe
another for new construction. Rec-
ommended: consolidate overlapping
services and bring major construc-
tion activities together te one ag-
ency.
«. Another general and cuntteu-
ing problem is "red tape."

AUSTIN. Tex.. May 2*
Members of the Senate today
stamped an okeh to an expenditure
of for the Senate's elee-
moaynary institutions, upping the
House-approved total by some
>29JN)OjOOO.
The bill now goes back to the
House, where as a nutter of cus-
tom it was expected the lower
chamber would reject Senato
changes and call for a joint con-
ference committee.
Sen. James E. Taylor of Kerens,
chairman of the Senate's finance
committee, aaid that the proposed
expenditure would boot the state's
finances an estimated !46,QOO.nflO
over anticipated income in the
next two years.
However, the final amount waa
virtually certain of being trimmed
in a House-Senate conference com-
mittee.
Action on the eleemosynary bill
cleared the last of the legislature's
four big money mea.iuie* through
the upper chamber.
The Senate-apporved bill carried
in it an appropriation of some
$22.iMNt,nn for an eleemosynary
building program over the next
two years.
The House bill ignored the pro-
ject.
Sen. Wardlow Lane of Ceater
questioned the amount of the ex-
pen '
"i ondering," he told his aa-
ociates. 'if we're not moving pret-
ty fast to spend 122,000,000 in
two years on buildings."
Sen. A. M. Aikin, Jr., of Paris,
sponsor of the measure in the up-
per chamber, answered critics with
the comment:
"I wish the members of this
Senate weald take the time to just
go through one—just one—institu-
tion. I know you would vote for
whatever it takes (to complete the
building program)."
Pinal vote on the measure was
carried 22-8.
Action by the upper chamber on
the eleemosynary bill headed to-
ward conference committee a total
of some fiso,noo,noo in three ap-
propriation bills. These covered
funds for higher education, the
state departments and the state
institutions.
Meantime, the lower chamber
had tossed into its lap by the
House committee on revenue and
taxation a controversial veterans
bonus bill.
