HIGHLIGHTS FROM

Texas PreesAssoclation
AUSTIN, Tex. — Tax plans
itailaptaMd in the House before
adjournment last week-end,
A tight-running team carried
the Stanton Stone "fleas to
uranium" omnibus tax compro-
mise. But they threw the ball
over the head of the receiver.
Net result: The House refused
to pass the bill at second read-
ing. It had to be revived for
further action.
Some members rebelled be-
cause they weren't in on the
play. r*
New compromises, with more
players afrd .* less taut rein,
however, promised an ultimate
tax bill. Members have been
talking about "$100 million new
taxes," and that was just about
what the new compromise plan
embraced. It would involve
face saving all around.
* The four-point plan included:
Acceptance of the Stone cut
of the ga-oline tax to one cent,.
from two. as originally asked
by Gov. Allan Shavers. At the
same time, one-fourth o4 its
revpTYue—eight million & ycflr—•
would be given to cities and
counties to buy rights-of-way.
One-cent increase on cigarette
tax was kept.
Cut-down levies on beet
dealers' licences voted by the
House was accepted, but, in def-
erence to strong group de-
mands, $1 a barrel tax on beer
was added.
SECRETARY OF STATE TO
APPROVE NOTARIES PUBLIC
Secretary of State A. M.
Muldrow has announced that h?
will reappoint all persons who
now hold Notary Public Com-
missions and that adl such per-
sons must qualify by filing an
oath and bond with the County

Natural faa production tax
would be frozen at Ha preteni
9-cent level. By present law,
it would drop to eight cents in
September and seven cents af-
ter September 1, 1956.
As the bill atood when the
House refused passage, it would
raise forty and one-half million
dollars a year. Various changes
proposed in the second compro-
mise would push it up-to $50
million a year, thus reaching
the "$100 million" about which
members talked.
There is still talk of a special
session, should the regular ses-
sion not be able to iron out
differences on where and how
to raise the needed revenue.
Other Bills Pass
While the House walked
around the tax issue, a number
of non-controversial bills were
passed.
Voted by the House was con-
currence in Semite amendments
to a bill banning Mlewd and de-
praved" comic books.
Also voted was a Senate
amendment "shortening the
"cooling off' period in divorce
cases. The House has passed a
bill setting the time at 90 days.
The Senate made JS -60.
Two Senate bills calling for
mandatory jail sentences in sex
offense convictions involving
children were approved by the
House.
Final passage was given a> bill
increasing the length limit of
trucks from 45 to 50 feet.
In the Senate, 43 local and
uncontested bills were passed.
Probe to Continue
Veterans land investigations
will proceed in tihe Senate, de
spite bitter objections of some
members.
Sen. Jimmy Phillips said it
would be wrong to stop it be-
cause "all parties responsible
for the gigantic fraud have not
been exposed and named".
Senators Dorsey R. Hardeman
and Rudolph A. Weinert eon-
tended that the prnbe has r;-
tablif.hed the pattern of fraul
and the time has com-* for trh1
Veterans Land Board two-to-one
with Atty. Gen. John Bfn
Shepperd voting no. Hearing
has been posted in the Senate
on Sen. George Moffett'i $100
million bond plan. A $200
million resolution was waiting
in the House.
Tlielands Again
More trouble looms between
the federal government and
Texas over the tidelands.
