A rural legislator told his peo-
ple, "At least 12 rural districts
will disappear in the next redis-
tricting. I certainly do not want
this district included in that 12.”
Incumbents cited their experi-
ence as an asset. Personal feeling
often enters into redistricting, and
lawmakers are notably reluctant
to "squeeze out” a popular and re-
spected senior colleague by eras-
ing his district.

State Insurance Board announc-
ed the new lower rates would ap-
ply to the "home-owners package”
policies which account for about
80 per cent of the home coverage
sold in Texas.
Reductions were made possible
because insurance companies have
had a relatively low loss ratio on
the package policies, first intro-
duced about three years ago.

battle of "claimsmanship.”
Rep. Wade Spilman added five to
his list of House members pledged
to support him and said this gave
hiim a "rather conclusive” lead.
Rep. James Turman of Gober
claims a definite majority of 79.
Votes eof 76 of the 150 House
members are needed to elect.
Spilman also has invited the
House General Investigating Com-
mittee to look into charges that
memibers were being subjected to
improper pressure on how to vote.

• College Funds Sought . . .
. Texas Commission on Higher
Education will ask the next Legis-
. lature for an appropriation of $3,-
. 082,183 for the 1961-63 biennium.
Bulk of the increase asked is for
; meeting expected enrollment in-
i creases in the 18 state-supported
colleges and universities.
■ In a discussion with members of
the State Finance Advisory Com-
mittee, the Commission considered
recommending an increase in state
college tunition charges—now $100
for a nine-months term. Dr. Ralph
Green suggested raising this by
$50. It would bring the state an
extra $5,000,000 a year in new rev-
enue, he said.

• Prison Needs Cited . . .
Texas Board of Corrections also
wants more money — a $2,654,846
increase over their present alloca-
tion for the next two years.
"If the amount is granted, Texas
prisoners will cost the state $1.89
per day per man,” said State Pris-
on Director O. B. Ellis. "This is
just a little more than half the na-
tional average.”
Ellis and Corrections Board
members regard prison needs as
critical. Board Chairman H. H.
Coffield of Rockdale reported that
"the prison population trends in-
dicate it will keep on multiplying.

• Wilson Honored . . .
Attorney General Will Wilson
has been named by the National
Association of Attorneys General
as the recipient of that associa-
tion’s award for outstanding serv-
ice in 1960. He was cited as being
the most outstanding Attorney Gen-
eral in the nation when he received
the Wyman Award at the Annual
Meeting of the National Associa-
tion of Attorneys General recently
in San Francisco.
Award is given to the Attorney
General who "has done the most
to advance the objectives of the as-
sociation to help make the United
States a better place in which to
live for all.” Wilson won the hon-
or on the basis of his contribution
in strengthening state anti-trust
programs and in the field of inter-
state compacts, as well as through
his service on the habeas corpus
committee of the association. He
। also was chairman of the associa-
tion’s Antitrust Committee during
1960.

spection requirements. Greer said
the new federal approach will
necessitate no change in Texas
procedures.
Texans who have been motoring
cross-country during their summer
vacations will not find this hard
to believe. So noticeably superior
are Texas roads to those of sur-
rounding states that returning Tex-
ans usually give a sigh of relief
when they cross the state line.
