Mr. & Mrs. E. J. Britten
AUSTIN—Traffic accidents were
estimated to kill 32 persons in
Texas over the three-day July 4
weekend by the Texas Department
of Public Safety. DPS Director
Homer Garrison Jr. urged Texans
to make July 4 holiday weekend
the turning point away from a
two-year upward trend in fatal
accidents.
Garrison describes the present
traffic situation as "critical."
"Operation Motorcide" went in
effect at 12:01 a.m. on July 3 and
lasted through Sunday, July 5. He
announced, "In an effort to focus
public attention on added hazards
of holiday road traffic and to en-
courage safety consciousness a-
mong drivers."
Additional highway patrolmen
from the license and weight and
motor vehicle inspection services
supplemented the regular patrol
. staff over the holiday period.
New auto insurance rates set
Texas automobile owners will
pay less for auto insurance be-
ginning Aug. 1.
State Insurance Board and in-
dustry spokesmen agreed on the
new rates, which will average out
1.2 percent cheaper statewide than
last year.
Board estimated motorists will
save $3,000,000 in premiums com-
pared with 1963. However, rates
will vary from area to area.
Liability insurance rates reflect
a statewide increase of 3.8 per
cent, and medical payment cover-
age will increase about 8.7 per
cent. Collision coverage will be
reduced .5 per cent.
Overall reduction in rates is due
primarily to a 15.5 per cent cut
in comprehensive coverage, due to
low wind and hail storm damages
last year.
Lawmakers face tough job
An already "tough" job faced
by Texas lawmakers in the 59th
Legislature will be complicated
even more by "issues of high emo-
tional content," Lt. Gov. Preston
Smith feels.
These issues, according to the
lieutenant governor, include: pro-
posals to legalize betting on horse
races, sale of liquor by the drink
in eating establishments, control
of oyster shell dredging on the

Gulf Coast, an oil and gas "pool-
ing" bill, further controls on wat-
er pollution, repeal of the poll tax
and another proposed constitu-
tional amendment to guarantee
equal rights to women in proper-
ty and business management.
"The Legislature will need a
combination of many virtues if it
disposes of all the important and
controversial legislation laid be-
fore it," Lt. Gov. Smith told ap-
proximately 250 mayors and coun-
cllnien gathered in the capital city
for an institute on municipal
problems.
Three major "musts" confront
the Legislature next year. Smith
said. These include: deciding the
future course of higher education,
financing education and "other
vital state functions," and con-
gressional and legislative redis-
ricting.
Legislators are busy with maps
and population tables, trying to
see how the new court rules on
legislative apportionment affect
them. One plan in general circula-
tion involves the Texas Senate. It
envisions slicing up the four big-
city counties of Harris, Dallas,
Bexar and Tarrant and attaching
the slices to present senatorial
districts which touch them.
This plan would give all pre-
sent sena tors except two a chance
for re-election, if they can get
the votes in the portions of the
big cities assigned them.
Indian settlement out
Cherokee Indians, run out of
East Texsa in 1839 by a Republic
of Texas army, have failed in an
attempt to "recapture" claims to
lands they were forced to leave.
Atty. Gen. Waggoner Carr gave
the "no" sign to a proposed set-
tlement of their claim to 2.500,000
acres of land in Smith, Cherokee,
Van Zandt, Gregg and Rusk
counties.
Cherokee Indian Nation, through
general counsel, Earl Boyd Pierce,
several months ago proposed that
Governor Connally set up a his-
torical fact-finding commission to
review the claims.
For each acre of land the com-
missioner might find the Indians
were unjustly ousted from, Pierce
recommended one dollar be allo-
cated by the state to a trust fund
for higher ©dccatlon of worthy
Oherokees. This money would 4
draw five per cent Interest, and *
at the end of 25 years, the Che-
rokees would return the corpus of
the fund to the state, releasing all
claims.
Atty. Gen. Carr concluded: the
plan of settlement would require
an unconstitutinoal appropriation
toy the Legislature, therefore nei-
ther he nor the Governor is au-
thorized to pursue it.
Education study group
Gov. John Connally got a look
at tentative recommendations of
has Committee on Education Be-
yond the High School. But dis-
agreements over financial details
prevented the report from being ■
a final one.
Committee members will meet
again on July 13-14 to finish the
job. Chairman H. B. Zachry pro-
mised the report will be present- v
ed to the Governor and Legisla-
ture by the Aug. 31 deadline.
Lawmakers of the 58th Legis-
lature apprporiated $175,000 for *
the study aimed at pointing the
way to number 1 ranking for
Texas colleges and universities.
Less than half that amount has *
been spent to date.
Fends asked
Officials of the Attorney Gen- "
eral Department have asked for
more funds to prosecute cases in-
volving slant-hole oil wells and
Billie Sol Estes. *
They reason that judgments al-
ready awarded in the suits have
brought the state $577,000 or $3 *
for each $1 spent. "
In 1963 the Legislature provid-
ed $82,000 to handle these suits in
fiscal 1964 and 1965. Now, the de-
partment wants $100,000 for 1965
and 1967.
Hill-Burton requests
Texas cities which have request-
• d a total of $22,000,000 worth of
Hill-Burton funds to finance com-
munity hospitals and health cen-
ters will have to wait until Sep-
tember for any action from the
State Health Department. Even
then some of them will be turned
down.
Health Department won't decide #

OUR COMMENT: Where could
you find better advice? This letter
was written by someone who has
more-than-the-average 15-ycar-nld
wisdom and understanding. The
teenager who has respect for the
authority and the wisdom of par-
ents has taken a big step down
the road to maturity and strength
of character. Teenagers who re-
sent the authority and supervision
that must be exercised by the
right kind of parents are, in a
way, refusing to grow up. They
can't seem to understand that just
about every privilege that comes
along has some responsibility con-
nected with it.
Some teenagers want to be
"free" to do whatever pleases
them when it pleases them; in a
sense "free" of any responsibility.
If you ha\c a teenage prohle' i you want
