AUSTIN, Texas. — State em-
ployees want a 17 per cent pay
raise within the next two years.
They served notice of their desire
at the annual meeting of the Tex-
as Public Employees Association.
TPEA’s legislative program for
1971 seeks a three-step (10.2 per
cent) raise effective next Septem-
ber; and a two-step (6.8 per cent)
hike the following September; plus
a 3.4 per cent merit raise for half
of the employees.
Also requested, are “career in-
centive’’ benefits — a $10 a month
automatic raise after three years
of service, ranging up to a $60 a
month supplement for employees
with 30 years’ service.
Substantial pension benefits also
were included in TPEA’s far-
reaching legislative package which
would give retired employees with
30 years’ service 50 per cent of
their base pay.
State employees also want their
travel allotments boosted to a $16
a day per diem and 12 cents a
mile.

• Social Welfare Changes . . .
Continuing growth of welfare
rolls will bring changes in basic
operating methods of die State De-
partment of Public Welfare after
January 2.
Welfare Commissioner Burton G.
Hackney says that the key proce-
dural change would require wel-
fare applicants to fill out their own
“■declaration forms.” This would
replace face-to-face interviews with
overworked caseworkers. This
method already has been tested in
Corpus Christi, Austin and Nacog-
doches regions.
Another change would reduce so-
cial services to that which can be
quickly provided and for which
specific goals can be defined.
Hackney predicts that legislators
will be called on for $96 million
annually in state funds, just to
keep the financial assistance pro-
grams at present levels. This is a
$16 million above the constitutional
ceiling. Some $291 million in fed-
eral funds would match the state
outlay.

• Insurance Laws Pushed . . .
State Insurance Board is pushing
four new laws to protect both the
policy holders and the ailing insur-,

Insurance Board told the House
probing committee that it is be-
coming increasingly difficult to get
home and auto protection in disas-
ter-hit areas. Therefore, it will
advocate these changes in the law:
