greater STATE newspaper for you than ever before, more
sports coverage and women's news, too . . . more than
any other Texas newspaper. There’s more reading enjoy-
ment for every member of the family. Large, easy-to-read
type, too . . . that's why we say the Fort Worth Star-
Telegram's "TOPS IN TEXAS.” And if you subscribe now,

HIGHLIGHTS and Sidelights—
(Continued from Pace Two)— i
‘court judge upheld Gibson’s move
by saying that the "Blue Law” is
unconstitutional, because the items
(listed in the statute are vague and
indefinite. i
In its arguments before the court'
Gibson’s concentrated on allega-
tions that the state’s appeal—di-
rectly to the Supreme Court from
the district court—was improper!
and should be refused.
High Court will rule on the juris- j
dictional question before it gets'
into the substance of the case.

• Cotton Gin Rider Dumped . . .
A controversial appropriations
bill rider twice vetoed by Gov.
John Connally was stricken from
a budget draft on motion of Lt. <
Gov.-elect Ben Barnes.
Barnes got some opposition from
House Speaker-designate Rep. Gus
Mutscher of Brenham and Rep. W.
S. Heatly of Paducah, but Gov.-
elect Preston Smith held his mo-
tion carried on voice vote.
The rider sought to keep funds
from being spent to police air pol-
lution by" cotton gins. Mutscher
said the problem is insignificant
and is used by politicians to “dem-
agogue.” Connally has maintain-
ed that the problem caused by gins
is major. Barnes argued that the
rider is unneeded and is simply a
“political factor."
“Plenty of time during the leg-
islative session to work it out,”
Smith said in sustaining the vote
on deletion.
