Hospitals, Colleges, A-building ...
With a new fiscal year begun,
state boards and agencies are busy
making plans for building pro-
grams.
State Board for Hospitals and
Special Schools announced that a
1,000-bed nursing hospital for
mentally retarded patients will be
built at Denton. Construction of
new cottages to house mental pa-
tients at Denton is already un-
derway.
Universiy of Texas Board of Re-
gents is beginning a $17,895,000
building program spread over the
triggered by the Department’s re-
cent difficulties with the Legisla-
ture which cut salaries of top of-
ficials.
Gibbs served as an insurance
commissioner from 1941 to 1952 as
an appointee of Govs. W. Lee
tage over their city cousins when' ning a red light, only one point,
the new auto insurance rating I- -he eGkoc cf
against him.
Saunders was convicted in an
Austin district court and sentenc-
ed to two years in prison. He was
accused of having lied to a legis-
lative investigating committee as
to why the now-bankrupt ICT In-
surance Co. paid him $7,000 while
he was insurance commissioner.
Saunders contended the money
was payment for his interest in
oil royalties on a piece of property
he sold the company.
It is the first time in the hos-
tory of the state that a person
has been charged with perjury as
a result of statements to a legis-
lative committee. Saunders’ at-
torneys have vowed to take it all
the way to the U.S. Supreme
Court, if necessary.
Panel on Aging . . .

boro has been named to head the

Joe P. Gibbs has, for the third

Former Supreme Court Justice
James P. Hart and J. Chrys
Dougherty, a former assistant at-
torney general, also went to Wash-
ington to join in the presentation.
Other Gulf Coast states which
are “in the same boat” with Texas
on the tidelands issue are also
various branches of the huge sys-
tem. Most recently approved by

room-office building, a warehouse
building and gymnasium - field

driving with its cash incentive.
Drivers with no record of an ac-
cident or violation for the past
three years will get a 20 per cent
reduction in their insurance rates.
I Drivers with one point against
them will pay current rates.
Those with from one to five
points against them will pay in-
creased rates on a sliding scale,
and those with six or more points
will pay through the nose—double
rates.
Some activities will be very ex-
pensive,, point-wise. Drunken driv-
ing, hit-and-run driving, and neg-
ligent homicide will cost four
his insurance permiums up a
notch.
In the congested streets of the
larger cities, one wrong move,
even if unintentional, often brings
a ticket or a crumpled fender or
both. In most small towns, the
local lawman is not usually too
exercised if one of his friends and
neighbors makes a U-turn on the
main street.
Purpose of the plan is to put the
biggest part of the burden for in-
surance payments on the people
who bring on the most damage
and expense. People who have a
history of numerous traffic viola- participating in the now historic
tions, according to Department of struggle.
