•Meanwhile, State Insurance
Commissioner Clay Cot ten turned
over to district attorneys in Hous-
ton. Dallas and Austin results of
his investigation of NBL
Cotten said lie feels insurance,
embezzlement a n d conspiracy
laws may have been overstepped
hut preferred to leave it up to
prosecuting attorneys to decide
if violations occurred He offered
names of five or '-time NBL offi-
cers and directors prominently
involved in his report.
Federal court at Houston set
hearing this week to determine
if a June 11 immunity order pro-
tecting Sharp from further prose-
cution or summons should be
modified Martin and Smith want
to force him to testify before
the Travis County grand jury
hearing.
COURTS SPEAK
An Austin federal district judge
upheld the local school district's
desegregation plan calling for a
minimum of erosstown pupils
twsing, holding against a federal
government proposal for massive
busing Judge scored the federal
government for its uncooperative
attitude toward a compromise.
State Supreme Court rejected
an appeal of A&M University
employees who had paychecks
stopped when it was discovered
they were serving on the College
Station city council.
In other divisions, High Court:
♦Stuck by its original decision
holding fromer president of
Sharpstown State Bank was not
negligent in failing to investigate
bonds offered as security on a
$170,000 loan.
•Turned down (he appeal of a
Dallas oilman's widow in a law
suit over his estate brought by
the man's five daughters by an
earlier marriage.
•Upheld the will of multi-mil-
lionaire Robert A. Welch's sister
leaving $.'<00,000 in Texas oil and
gas property to the Welch Foun-
dation.
•Held against an Alice woman
seeking damage from drug com-
panies which manufactured the
anesthetic she claims partially
paralyzed her following 1963 sur-
gery.
•Reversed a lower court judge-
ment and concluded the foreclos-
ure of mortgage on the home
of a Dallas couple who had paid
$•120 more than their schedule
called for was void.
•Rejected disputed evidence of
a remarriage in Mexico and
backed a Nueces County trial
court finding that a Corpus Christi
man owes nearly $2-1,000 in ali-
mony to his former wife in
Nevada.
LIVESTOCK DISEASES
SPREAD
As sleeping-sickness-like Vene-
zuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis
continued to strike horses and
some humans, threat of a new
livestock malady loomed.
Outbreak of African hog fever
in (Alba alarmed swine owners.
Latter is almost invariably fatal,
and there is no known vaccine.
Ailment does not affect people,
as does VEE (which is usually
mild in humans).
More than 1,100 Texas horses
are believed to have been killed
by VEE ami 1,500 others stricken,
More than 6.6 million acres have
been sprayer to kill disease-car-
rying mosquitoes.
AG OPINIONS
Texans under 21 may not serve
on juries in Texas despite re-
cently-lowered voting age to 18,
Attorney General Martin held.
In other recent opinions, Mar-
tin concluded:
•Texas Industrial Commission
can open an extension office in
Mexico City and pay salaries of
employees there.
"Governor is without authority
to negotiate open-end contracts
for computer supplies for state
agencies.
•County attorney of Cooke
County will serve as 16th district
at term v when 16th district court
sits in Cooke County. District at-
torney of 235th district will serve
that court in nil counties where
it functions.
Law passed last May 26 sets
maximum compensation for as-
sistant county school superinten-
dents In all counties.
•Rent wal license issued by
State Board of Hairdressers and
Cosmetologists June 2- Aug 29,
1971. expires Aug 31. 1972 Appli-
cant for Sept. 7, 1971, board ex-
amination must pay $15 filing
fee with application and addi-
tional 15 license fee.
SB 191 of last legislature re-
peals other acts on commercial
drivers' license exemptions.
MEDICINE AID
SYSTEM CHANGED
On Si ptember 1 State Depart
ment of Public Welfare will be-
gin making payments directly to
pharmacists for drugs prescribed
to Texas welfare recipients
Under current system, allow-
ance for drugs is included in
monthly assistance checks. Legis
lature this year appropriated
$11.9 nnlhon for new vendor drug
program
Welfare authorities believe the
new sssteni will provide improve-
ed prescribed medicine coverage
and delay a cut in overall wel-
fare payments for food, clothing
and shelter.
However, some complained of
welfare cheek cuts, since drug
allotments no longer will go to
recipients, and a few who get
only payments for drugs will be
taken off welfare rolls. Latter
will be interviewed by Welfare
Department to determine if they
should still get cash aid
APPOINTMENTS
Gov Preston Smith appointed
Dr. Max C. Butler of Houston
to State Board of Mi dical Exam-
iners and reappointed Dr. Albert
B. Spires Jr. of Taylor, Dr, L. G
