THE DALLAS CRAFTSMAN
AUSTIN.—Old Austin political
hands now acknowledge that the
key to political victory in Texas
in the years ahead may well be
the kind of voter registration law
we get to replace the poll tax.
(Incidentally, the Constitution-
al Amendment necessary to abol-
ish the poll tax may be submitted
to the voters this year 1963 in
a special election. This means,
ironically, that if you want a
chance to bury the poll tax for
good and all you must pay the
darn thing at least once move——
between now and Jan. 31. So-pay
it and get everybody you know
voting. (i.e., no literacy test. ED.)
7. That the information on the
registration certificate be essen-
tially the same as now required
on the poll tax receipt.
8. That the present law be
maintained to permit registration
in person, by mail, or through an
agent and by either spouse for the
other spouse.
9. That registration for each
county be handled by the county i
tax assessor-collector.
10. That false registration be i
made a felony, carrying the same
penalty as in the present law
(minimum three years imprison- |
We got an advance peek at
their recommendations from Larry
Goodwyn, research man for the
Democratic Coalition. Goodwyn
• has analyzed the recommendation
as follows:
Specifically, the committee turn-
ed down the plea of the League of
Women Voters’ and numerous
Democratic spokesmen that the
new registration law be permanent
and that the deadline be moved
up from January 31. In its final
form, the report will make 10
recommendations laying down
guidelines- for the legislature to
follow in hammering out the new
registration law. Here they are:
1. That registra'ion be required
of all voters, without any exemp-
tions.
N“uT
Non* But Authenticated Labor Pubu-
cations Are ' vmitted This TLPA Em-

- his registration.
< 4. That the registration _ cer-
tificate provide a blank for par y
affiliation through the primaries
and conventions of the political
parties for the duration of that
registration.
5. That the period for regis-
tration be from October 1 through
he following January 31 each year,
and that registration entitle the
voter to vote for a one year period
the broadest possible registration I
law, that is, a law which makes it
possible for the largest possible
number of people to take part in
balloting, as easily as possible.
The Texas AFL-CIO proposal
is essentially that of the League
of Women Voters: Permanent
registration at no fee and with
no literacy restrictions; re-regis-
tration necessary only if a voter
moves from his county of first
registration or when he fails to
vote in any election for two years;
registration deadline to be within
30 days of the general election.

Hollywood.—A dramatically bold
legislative program, including a
stand-by plan for medical care
for the aged, has been adopted by
the 36-member executive council
of the California State AFL-CIO
at a three-day meeting here.
State Sec.-Treas. Thomas L.
Pitts termed the program a “com-
prehensive, forward-looking blue-
print” to improve living and
working conditons.
In the medical care field, the
council proposed both a statewide
pre-paid health care plan to pro-
vide comprehensive coverage for
all age groups and a stand-by
program for the aged which would
go into effect only if Congress
failed to pass a social security
medicare program.
The California program for the
aged would be financed by a 1
per cent tax on employer pay-
rolls and would be suspended if a
federal program were enacted.
Other legislative proposals in-
clude:
A $1.50 state minimum wage,
including provisions for industry
boards to reduce the standard
workweek from 40 hours to 35
hours when conditions warrant.
A seven-hour day and a 35-hour
week for state employees.
A state labor relations act pro-
viding machinery to determine col-
lective bargaining rights for em-
ployees not covered by federal
law.
A ban on the use of professional
strikebreakers and stringent limi-
tations on injunctions in labor dis-
putes.
“Major improvements” in un-
employment and workmen’s com-
pensation programs “where bene-
fits have fallen far behind the
level of earnings among covered
employees.”
A civil rights program includ-
ing stronger machinery for en-
forcement of existing legislation.
State housing programs, sup-
plementing federal programs, ‘to
alleviate the pressing housing
needs of California families in the
low and middle income brackets.”
Pitts said the program reflects
"the community of interests" of
labor and1 the general public. He
said this common interest was
"amply evident in the November
elections when labor-endorsed can-
didates won the support of the
general voter in nearly three out
of every four races.”

Researchers on Medicare come up with some startling in-
- formation when trying to combat the American Medical
Association’s all-out campaign against health care assist-
ance for needy senior citizens.
Food for thought is this comparison of facts on the op-
posing forces in the medicare argument: the AMA and
its doctors who are fighting the government’s proposal
for a medicare plan—and the needy people who must have
help in meeting exhorbitant medical bills.
“Medical Economics,” a doctor-oriented magazine pub-
lished in Oradell, New Jersey, recently shed a lot of tears
because doctors aren’t getting ahead in life as fast as they
should.
For example, only 29 per cent of our doctors have an
equity of $50,000 or more in their own home at age 50,
moaned the magazine. Only 5 per cent of our doctors are
able to accumulate $200,000 in common stock at age 50, and
only 17 per cent have a nest egg of $250,000 at age 50.
To further illustrate, how poorly our doctors are getting
along, it was noted that the AVERAGE total of savings
and investments of our doctors amounted to only $108,600
per man!
Contrast these statements with some quotes from Under-
secretary of Labor John F. Henning at a recent Labor Press
Convention. Said Henning:
“There are six million families in the United States with
annual earnings of less than $3,000. There are 11 million
children of families in this country with annual earnings
of less than $2,000. There are seven million persons in this
country who qualify under poverty restrictions in order
to receive public aid and financial relief just to maintain
life. And there are eight and one-half million persons
over 25 years of age in thfs country who have been able to
accumulate only 5 years or less of schooling,” said the La-
bor Department Official.
