ANO
Texas I> gislators will be back
in Austin on January 12 to .rapple
with an array of problems which
could keep them here throughout
the summer.
Congressional and legislative
rrdistrieting. taxes and appro-
priations top the agenda of con-
troversial subjects for the 59th
sessk >n.
Many lawmakers feel they bare-
ly will come to grips with the re-
districting issue before expiration
of the regular session in May
Special sessions very likely will lie
necessary to settle this explosive
matter in lint- with the one-man-
one-vote theory laid down by court
decisions
Proposed expenditures for high-
er education and teacher pay
raises look like top topics for de-
bate in the spending area.
Other legislation sure to stir
strong interest and hot tempers
includes horse race betting, oil
and gas lease pooling, water plan-
ning and development, mixed
drink sales and judicial pay
raises.
No significant chance in the
power structure of either house of j
the Legislature is likely. House
Speaker Byron Tunnell is assured ,
of another term and Lt. Gov.
Preston Smith will begin his se-
cond term as presiding officer of
the Senate.
There are only two new mem-
bers in "he Senate and 12 in the
House.

CRIME RATE I P
Texas' crime rale jumped near-
ly 12 per cent in 1964, says the
Department of Public Safety.
Rate increased from 2.261 of-
fenses per 100,000 population in
1962 to 2.675 this year. This fact
led a committee of Texas mayors
to vail on Gov. John Connally for
advice as to action needed. Con-
nally promised to cooperate and
urged the 10 mayors to have their
city attorneys review proposed
revisions in the state code of cri-
minal procedure.
Mayor Hank Avery, Texas Mu-
nicipal League president, balmed
the increase on crowded court
dockets, loose bond procedures
easy paroles after short imprison- i
ment, weakening of parental res-j
ponsibility and separate trials for '
co-defendants. Avery is mayor of j
Midland.
Dallas Mayor Erik Jonsson and
San Antonio Mayor Walter McAl-
lister noted the high number of
repeat arrests. Jonsson suggested
that traffic violations by drivers
with suspended licenses be made
penitentiary offenses. Hi also
proposed legislation to make it
harder for persons charged with [
multiple crimes to be released on
bond.
STATE SALES TAX
There is guarded talk in the
hails of the State Capital, by law-
makers who would rather remain j
anonymous for now, that the two-
per-cent sales tax will Ik? extended
to e©v< r grocery purchases when
the 1965 Legislature meets.
State sales tax law passed three
years ago brought in $204,736,161
during the fiscal year which ended
August 31. This tax accounted for
12 cents of every State revenue
dollar.
But expected demands on State
resources — to meet teachers' pay
raises, improvement of higher
education facilities, and pgrading
of oilier State services — is ex-
pected \>, be the trigger for mak-
jyj the salts tax applicable to
groct ries, heretofore exempt.

$168 Million New Telephone
Construction for Texas in 196S
Continuing improvements in telephone system will make your service
even more dependable and valuable
Telephone service in Texas ranks with the world's best. It always has. Even so, in
1965 Southwestern Bell will spend another Si68 million to make it better still.
This construction program is the biggest in history, ll is necessary to provide
for the growing telephone needs of Texas.
But it's more than that.
It also is an intensified effort to make even better the service you already have,
whether you live in a big city, a small town, or on a farm or ranch.
Our objective is to make your telephone service more useful, dependable,
convenient and valuable than ever before.
Texans will also benefit economically from this telephone construction program
Because hundreds of individual projects reach into virtually every community
served ^outhwe-tern Bell, the economic impact will be significant and
wide- .a
New >bs will be created. We expect to add new telephone jobs in Texas
in 1965 — bringing to 25,(XK> the number of people on our payroll In Texa*
But more important will be the economic boost
firms which sell supplies, services and materials
for the hundreds of Texas
to the telephone company.
Here are some of the things we'll do in 1965 to make your telephone service better
NEW STORMPROOFING
In 1965, we'll put more than 500 additional miles of
telephone cable underground, because that's the safest
place for it. Safe from wind, rain, hot weather, cold
weather, stormy weather. This will add to the depend-
ability of your long distance service.
000 IMPROVEMENTS
For those customers who have Direct Distance Dialing,
service will be faster and easier than ever before Com-
plex new testing and trouble-reporting equipment is
being built into the svstem to help maintain tbe quality
of transmission and quickly trace and remedy problems
NEW BUILDINGS, WORK CENTERS
Southwestern Hell will erect 15 new buildings in Texas
in 1965. Tne largest will be the new SI 3 million South
Texas headquarters building in Houston Other new tele-
phone buildings will be erected in Amarillo, Midland,
Dallas (two buildings), San Antonio, Beaumont. Rosen-
complex in northwest Houston.
Angelo. T ort Worth and Waco. Houston and Beaumont.
Via a network of si;ch microwave antenna towers and
transmitting stations, your phone calls arc relayed from
point to point with the speed of light.
w,
E are looking ahead to another vear of telephone
progress in fev.tv in 19ft5
• Your telephone will be a better bti>. .foliar for
dollar.
• Texan* everywhere will lienefit from the surge ot new
dollars, created b> em expansion program, into the
state •. economy.
