AUSTIN u-The Senate Finance
Committee met today to put the
final touches to the giant two bil-
lion dollar state spending bill for
the next two years.
Debate on the bill may come
next week unless the measure hits
an unexpected committee snag. It
estimates state spending at $2,084,-
« 349.511, a shade below the House-
passed bill.
Both Houses devoted their ses-
sions yesterday to minor bills with
the House shipping through 42 lo-
cal and unopposed bills in an aft-
ernoon session.
One of the bills (HB371) would
set up a state tax study commis-

sion would work with the Texas
Research League and other inter-
ested groups in studying the state
and local tax structures.

1957 Car Tags
With only two days remaining
to pay 1957 auto license fees, the
staff of the county tax assessor
and collector’s office is bracing
for its biggest rush of the year.
"We should have been issuing
around 1,000 tags a day,” Tax As-
sessor-Collector 0. N. (Newt) Sea-

haven't been selling near that

Seagraves estimated that in the
next two days his office will have
to issue between 4,000 and 5,000
sets of plates.
The official said the office will
remain open Saturday afternoon
but for how long he’s not sure.

Hughes Quits
School Post
At Northwest
J. L. Hughes, superintendent of
the Northwest Independent School
District, has resigned the post he
has held for eight years.
Hughes has been Northwest sup-
erintendent since the school dis-
trict was created and the modern:
istic high school was constructed
in 1949. The Northwest district
serves the communities of Justin
and Roanoke in Denton County.
Haslet in Tarrant County and
Rhome in Wise County..
The resignation is effective Aug.
31, 1957, the end of the fiscal
school year. He had one year to
run on hia present contract.
Hughes said he offered his res-
ignation in order to prevent in-
jection of personalities in the dis-
trict’s board of trustee election
scheduled April 3. He made no
further comment on the resigna-
tion.
Five persona have filed for elec-
tion to the district’s trustee board.
Terms of three members, Presi-
dent H. F. Smith of Roanoke, P.
L. Harvey and Andy Anderson
both of Rhome. expire this year.
Since 1949, Hughes has recom-
mended a number of progressive
steps to improve school facilities
within the district.
One of his latest recommenda-
tions, made after a school archi-
tect’s study of facilities, was a
bond election for funds with which
to improve elementary schools at
Roanoke. Justin, Haslet and
Rhome. The proposal was defeat-
ed by a wide margin in each of
the communities.
Hughes came to Northwest from
Talco in Titua County, Texas,
where he had served as superin-
tendent of schools four years. He
has made his home on a farm
near Roanoke.
Of Payments
To Officials
AUSTIN (AP-Testimony
of payments of varying kinds

ance management to legisla-

sion members and labor lead-
ers peppered House Investi-
gating Commitee records to*
day.
The names of former Insurance
Commission Chairman Garland
While Beck headed homeward
to Seattle, Senate staff investiga-
tors dug for details that he had
refused to provide on grounds his
answers might tend to Incriminate
him.
HEARING RECESSED
"We are not through with Mr.
Beck," Chairman McClellan (D*
Ark) of the special Senate com-
mittee conducting the inquiry told
reporters. “He will be a matter of
continuing Interest to the commit-
tee and further testimony may be
desired."
"little people” he represented as
an ICT director. The collapsed
firm held heavy investments from
labor folk.
Holleman blamed Cage, refer-
ring to him twice as "a scoun-
drel," and saying it was almost
impossible to get from him an ac-
counting of how he managed the
complex enterprise,
OIL PROPERTIES
Wilson asked Holleman If he
knew of payments to Saunders in
connection with what Wilson called
"an alleged purchase of oil prop-
erties" by Cage —previously
brought out in testimony.
Holleman said he did not know
of ft ft the time, but learned of
it later.
Holleman also testified that Nile
Ball, a former high ICT official,
had mentioned “payments” to
Smith, but did not elaborate. He
said he thought the committee
knew as much as he did.
Earlier testimony last night was .
that Max Rychlik, 29, Smith’s son-
in-law, had received 818,300 from
BenJack Cage for jobs that had
no duties.
Smith has insisted that he got
none of it and that there was no
wrongdoing in connection with the
job he obtained from Cage for his
son-in-law while he was a com-
mission member.
The committee has also studied
testimony that Saunders sold some
oil property to BenJack Cage.
Saunders asserted then there was
nothing improper in the deal. Both
he and Smith have declared they
granted do favors to Cage.
$100 CHECKS
Rychlik told of payment of a
new series of $700 checks to him
from a Cage affiliate, totalling
10,800. in 1933-54. Two weeks ago
he had told of 88.400 paid for a
job with no duties with another
Cage concern—making a total of
$18,200 in 1953-54-55.

WASHINGTON I — A source
close to former Sen. James H. I
Duff, counsel to Teamsters Presi- t
dent Dave Beck, said today Duff i
still declines to represent Beck in i
hearings of the Senate Rackets
Committee.
This, the informant said, was
the gist of a letter the Pennsyl-
vania Republican, now practicing
law here, sent, the committee yes-
terday in the midst of its stormy
hearings pn Beck.
The source said the letter told
Chairman McClellan (D-Ark) that
Duff considered it would be "in-
appropriate” and improper for
him to represent Beck before the
committee, because the investiga-
tion of Beck had started prior to
Duff’s defeat last fall for re-elec-
tion.
MCCARTHY CRITICAL
Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis) had let
fly some critical comment about
Duff's absence from the hearing
room.
Sen. Mundt (R-SD) also com- .
plained about Beck having "coun-
sel in absentia,” particularly after
Beck testified that It was Duff
who advised him to invoke the
Fifth Amendment and refuse to
testify about alleged misappro-
priation of 3330,000 of union funds.

WASHINGTON W— Only House
acceptance of a Senate amend-
ment was needed today to com-
plete action on a bill to extend
three billion dollars of annual
business taxes to July 1, 1958.
The House was. expected to act
during the day t accept the 13*
menth extension voted by the Sen-
ate rather thah the one year limit
it had passed. The administration
has approved the 16-month provi-
sion.
President Kisenbower must sign
the bill into the law by Sunday
or the rates on crporation income
and excise taxes will drop auto-
matically Monday. .
LONG DEHAIE
, The Senate passed the" bill by
voice vote late yesterday • after
seven hours of debate in which all
attempts to add special relief pro-
visions were beaten.
The moves which got the most
support were designed to aid
small business. Although they lost,
advocates of such relief said today
they believed the debate had ad-
vanced their cause and that some
tax benefits for little businessmen
might well be enacted this session.
Sen. Sparkman (D-Ala), chair- .
man of the Senate Small Business
Committee, told a reporter, "I feel ,
we have made tremendous prog-
ress."
EFFORT PROMISED
Sen. Thye (R-Minn), senior Re- 1
publican on the Small Business
Committee, said in a separate in-
terview he had been assured by ,
the White House and Secretary of
the Treasury Humphrey an effort
would be made to send up some I
small business relief proposals
this year.
The Senate passed a 15-month
extension* of the taxes so that Con-
gress would have more time to
consider the matter in the 1968
session. Eisenhower had asked a
years* extension.
The bill continues the top cor-
poration income tax rate at 52 per
cent, instead of the 47 to which it
would drop Monday, and keeps in
effect the present excise levies on
