Discontinuance of Old
Age Payments Pos-
sihle for While
AUSTIN, Tex., Oct. 7 (UP)—
Those who would liberalize Old
Age Assistance tangled today in
the Texas House of Representa-
tives with supporters of an omni-
bus bill‘to Increase taxes almost
$10,000,090 a year.
The House failed, 90 to 50, to
suspend rules so a vote might be
taken on re-committing the omni-
bus bill so pension liberalization
might be included. A two-thirds
maority was required. Pension
liberalizers joined the foes of
taxes on natural resources and
other sources covered by the bill.
The State Board of Control
previously had advised Rep. Harry
Graves of Georgetown, Chairman
of the House Appropriations Com-
mittee, that unless $3,500,000 a
year more were raised, pensions
must be reduced. Discontinuance
or grants entirely from Nov. 1
nti January or February next
year unless $1,627,000 is raised
to repay a Dallas bank.
Rep. Albert Derden of Mar-
lin said the revenue committee had
"stymied" any attempt to change
the Old Age Assistance law.
“We’re letting the old folks be
sold out!” he said.
Rep. G. C.'Morris of Greenville,
who helped draft the omnibus
bill, said those who would liberal-
ize the law now are the “greatest
enemies of Old Age pensions in
the State.
“I couldn’t help but see the
smiles on the faces of special in-
terests in the State when that
votey. (against the tax bill) was
takek," he said.
