Local Governments May Share Surplus
By VEKN SAN FORD
Texas Prt*s Afwoclatloii
Austin, Texas — Local govern-
ments in Texan may be the main
l>en#faetorB If state government
winds up the current fiscal per-
iod with an *80,000,000 surplus
as Gov. John Connully predicts it
might.
Should such a surplus be reach-
ed, Connally told reporters, it is
"fairly" certain he will reeoni-
frtent abolishing the ad valorem
tax on property for state revenue
purposes and leaving that source
exclusively to local governments.
Connally said J20.000.000 of the
expected surplus could be set
aside in a special fund to retire-
ed by ad valoreum tax contri-
butions.
In predicting that the surplus
will not be less than S35.000.000
and probably will reach the $80,-
000,000 figure, the Governor joined
those who have contended all
along that the general revenue
fund will be so far in the black
by 1965 that new tax problems
will be eased if not erased.
Connally also said he contem-
plates submitting to the Legis-
lature in stages the recommen-
dations of his Committee on Edu-¡
cation beyond the High School i
He still plans to call a con-
ference on morals and ethics
but said he has not picked a
time. However, he declined to
say whether he would recommend
lair employment and public ac-
c o m o d a 11 o n legislation in or- j
der to maintain some state juris-
diction over civil rights under the
new federal law.
ILLITERACY FIGHT STEPPED
UP — A quiet campaign is un-
der way to mobilize South Texas
community facilities to combat
an illiteracy problem which re-
sults in wasted lives and a dam-
aged economy.
Fausto Tosca no, an assistant
to Governor Connally, is in South
Texas determining what can be
done at the local level to help
•stamp out the blight of illiteracy.
Toscano has visited seven South
Texas counties attempting to es-
tablish local literacy centers to
leach adults to read and write.
He reports that in most counties
in Southwest Texas illiteracy is
far above the national average,

Buttermilk helps
y°u sleep
better!
Doctore-say thai most sleeplessness is caused by
either an empty stomach or indigestion. A glass-
ful of deliciot Borden's Buttermilk provides the
"full feeling" necessary for easy sleep and at the
same time reduces stomach acidity. Each night
drink a glass of country-churn Borden's Buttermilk
... and sleep better!

and runs over 20 per cent in some
counties.
Texas Education Agency is en- i
gaged in the most intensive study
of the problem ever undertaken in
the state and the director of that
study says the problem can be
substantially solved in a few years
by a concerted state-local effort.
CAPITOL HOSPITALITY - Tex-
as Highway Department now has
a team of travel information of-
ficers in the rotunda of the State.
Capitol. They are station in an il-1
luininated tourism booth.
This information team has the
task of acquainting the thousands
of visitors to the Capitol with the1
State's other tourist attractions.
NEW MANSION ASKED - Should
Texas build a brand new $500,-1
000 governor's mansion? That is i
a subject of debate in the capital
city.
Building Commissioner!
H. R. Nieman, Jr. has recom-
mended a new structure to re-:
place the 108-year-old mansion, !
Budget Director Bill Cobb also
has testified in favor of the pi-o-1
posal.
Connally, a member of the Build-;
ing Commission, supports the new-
mansion plan. But whether he will
throw his full backing behind
it depends on the state's financial!
condition when the Legislature con-
venes in January.
If a new mansion is constructed I
Connally suggested the existing ¡
one be turned into a museum sup-
ported by nominal admission char-
ges.
Other structures proposed in
Nieman's $8,084,330 budget re-
quest included a $3,600,000 state
finance building to house state j
fiscal agencies and a $2,600,000
office building for legislators and
their related services. Both would
j be located in the capítol area.
|GOOD NEIGHBOR TRIP PLAN-
NED — An August trip to Mexico
City and to the four Mexican states
adjacent to Texas is planned
by Governor Connally, who said
that much of this state's economic
future is tied to lands south of the
Rio Grande.
Connally hopes to improve re-
lations with Latin leaders be-
fore the 1968 Olympics are held
in Mexico City. Also he would
like to link the Olympics with San
Antonio's Hemis Fair which is
scheduled for the same year.
REPUBLICANS HEADING FOR
GOLDEN GATE — Nearly 500 Tex-
as Republicans, "irrevocably corti-
| mitted" to Barry Goldwster for
the presidential nomination, will
arrive in San Francisco this week-
end for the GOP state conven-
| tion starting Monday, according
to state GOP headquarters here.
Texas has 56 voting delegates,
Í but state Republican headquart-
ers reports 112 delegues and al-
ternates have been named; .'i(X)
Texas guest tickets have been is-
sued; and' six pages, six assist-
ant sergeants-at-arms, six ,'ssi-
tant doorkeeper and 68 honorary
assistant sergeants-at-arms from
Texas also have their creden-
tials.
BUSINESS STRENGTH MAIN-
TAINED — Texas' 40-m o n t h
business upswing is the longest
of the postwar era (except for the
Korean War period), according
to the UT Bureau of Business Re-
search.
While the business activity in-
dex slipped two per cent in May,
average for the first five months
of 1964 is seven per cent above
the same period in 1963.
"It now seems reasonable to
expect that befen any adjust-
ment occurs. Texa business will
surpass even the 45-month rise of
business activity from October
1949 to July 1953," Bureau Dir-
ector Dr. John R. Stockton pre-
dicted.
MENTAL HEALTH - Count-,
Judge C. L Al>ernethy of Plain-
view heads a statewide commit-
tee which is taking a long, hard
look at what Texans are doing
about mental health problems
The 112-member citizens com-
mittee expects to have its rejwrt
i-eady by August. But comments
at meetings have indicated strong-
ly that the committee will tell
Texans that mental health work
should begin in the local com-
munity.
Jutige Abernethy said the old
concept of isolating mental pa-
tients far from home is far less
effective than treatment in their
home town.
FISHERMAN'S HEAVE—PARKS
and Wildlife Department spokes-
men expect the out-size Amistad
Reservoir, now being fashioned
and Devils rivers, to be a heaven
for fishermen.
Aquatic biologist Larry Camp-
bell predicts that when the t>-
million acre feet reservoir is com-
pleted in 1968 it will boast blue
catfish from the Devil and Pecos;
large-mouth bass from Lake Walk
and Devils Lake, and flathead,
blue and channel cat from the Rio
Grande.
Under way aro convei-sations
leading toward a joint manage-
ment program for the $100,000,000
reservoir project with the Mexi-
can government.
SHORT SNORTS
