recommendations by the gover-
nor's committee for making Tex-
as colleges and universities No. 1
in the nation have just been un-

College officials and the press

School. It followed a year of in-
tensive research
Report now has gone to the

YOUTH CONFERENCE HELD
—Some 1,800 teenagers from 230
counties convened here for the at-

Purpose of the conference is to
promote a free exchange of ideas.

Only about 225 in the draft age
bracket (most of them 22 or a-

month — and only 119 are sche-
duled for induction during Au-
gust.
This is the lowest induction call
for Texas since April, 1961, when
the quota was 65.
INVALIDATION UPHELD —
Third Court of Civil Appeals a-
greed with an Austin district court
that a requirement in the new
small loan act that Texans own
more than 50 per cent of the stock
in new Texas lending companies
Is unconstitutional.
Loan Commissioner Frank Mis-
kell had denied applications for
loan branch offices in Houston,
Waco, Texarkana, El Paso, Dal-
las, Fort Worth, San Antonio and
Arlington on the stock ownership
provision.
Ruling does not apply to other
sections of the 1963 law.
PARKS AND WILDLIFE DE-
PARTMENT — Weldon Watson,
director of the State Department
of Parks and Wildlife, reports that
a lot of people want state parks
built near the many reservoirs un-
der construction around the state.
He feels, however, that nothing
should be added until old parks
are rehabilitated
Watson made this statement
when he filed a request for a $25,-
700,000 budget for 1966-67. This is
an increase over the current bi-
ennial budget of $11,000,000 In- |
eluded are $7,000,000 more for!
parks and $4,000,000 more for wild-
life projects.
He pointed out that most of the
facilities in existing parks were
built by C.C.C. workers some 30
years ago, and they’re in bad re-
pair He said there’s hardly a
beam in the cabins at popular
Bastrop State Park that hasn’t
rotted out:
But Watson described a poor |
pay structure as the Parks and'
Wildlife Department’s chief ail- 1
ment. He said the starting salary
for game warden trainees of a-|
bout $330 a month is so low that
it is impossible to recruit “men
the state will be proud of " '
He wants a complete revision
of the Parks and Wildlife’s pay
j classification formula, so trainees -
as well as regional department
I heads will be paid in line with De-
partment of Public Safety salar-
ies.

OILFIELD . WASTE ORDER
READIED — As of August the
Texas Railroad Commission and
the State Board of Insurance will
put into effect a 1963 law which
requires oil and gas operators to
file bonds with the Railroad Com-
mission. Requirement is to-as-
sure that abandoned wells are
properly plugged in accordance
with all commission rules.
. Law requires a $5,000 bond for
a single well. But it allows oper-
ators to post a $10,000 blanket
bond covering all wells they op-
erate.
Enforcement of the act is part
of the state's drive to prevent pol-
lution of water supplies by oilfield
salt water.
SHORT SNORTS - James J.

trial Commission, succeeding Bill

dent of the Midland Reporter-
Telegram, as his assistant state
campaign manager.
Texas Press Association
By VERN SANFORD
AUSTIN, Tex. — New premlim-
inary steps, inching Texas toward
the inevitable realignment of con-
gressional and legislative dis-
tricts, were taken last week.
Atty. Gen Waggoner Carr ask-
ed that the federal district court
at Houston allow time for the Leg-
islature to redraw the districts in
its session next year. . . . as the
court had done earlied with con-
gressional appointments.
In view’ of U. S. Supreme Court
decisions that both houses of the
state legislature must be selec-
ted on the basis of population a-
lone, Carr concluded that there
is little doubt that Texas districts
would be declared unconstitution-
al.
Meanwhile, in Fort, Worth and
Dallas a committee of the Texas
Legislative Council held its first
public hearing seeking advice on
how congressional districts should
be redrawn.
A parade of witnesses was heard
before the committee recessed
briefly. It will move to Houston
for its third bearing on July 17.
A fourth bearing will be held in
San Antonio. - Committee spokes-
men have indicated they may go
to West Texas, then perhaps re-
turn to South Texas for further
tes timony.
A session of the full Legislative
Council, researh arm of the Leg-
islature, is scheduled for July 27
in Austin. At that time, the Co-
uncil is expected to decide wheth-
er to broaden its own study to in-
clude the explosive, close-to-home
problems of recarving the state's
House and Senate districts.
ARCHIVES MURAL UNDER
WAY — Work has begun on a
30,000 mural in the new Texas
Archives and Library Building. It
will portray state hist ry from the
days of the Spanish explorers to
the present.
American painter Peter Hurd
and English artist Peter Rogers,
who is Hurd's son-in-law’, will
work together on the 45 by 13
foot mural. Texans will recog-
nize among the figures Stephen
F. Austin, the Father of Texas;
Sam Houston, general, governor,
senator, and president of the Re-
public of Texas; Anson Jones, last
president of the Republic; and
Jim Bowie, Davy Crockett and
'William B .Travis, heroes of the
1 Alamo.
i Work is scheduled to be finish-
ed by September
SCHOOL FUND ALLOTMENT
APPROVED - State Board of Ed-
ucation raised the per student ap-
portionment of state available
school fund money to local dis-
tricts from $78.50 to $81.50.
This $3 per capita hike repre-
sents an overall $7,600,000 raise
in available fund aid to the dis-
| tricts for 1964-65, based on a cur-
rent estimate of more than 2,-
500.000 students.
Comptroller Robert S. Calvert
estimated the fund for the com-
ing school year at $218,300,000.
Board allocated $10,500,000 to fi-
nance the cost of purchasing and
handling text books. This left
$207,700,000 to be distributed on a
per capita basis.
This increase means no increase
in overall state aid. Allocations
to all but the few prosperous "bud- |
get balance" districts for salaries
and operations will be decreased
by an amount equivalent to the
available fund boost.
Dr. L. S. Richardson, Brazos-
port Public Schools superintend-
ent, was appointed to the 1964
state textbook committee to study
books offered for school adoption.
Board also agreed to name a
study committee to look into a
proposal for a $1,400,000 junior
college at Pampa
A policy change directed that
more time in driver education
courses be spent on behind-the-
wheel instruction and less on gen-
eral safety lectures.
