(By Julian Capers, Jr >
Austin. May 12 Most significant
news event of the week in ,.ustln
was the report of Comptroller Geo.
Sheppard, showing the state had
an incotiu, timing the llrst eight
months of the cunent fiscal year,
of $147,940,427 Tills is within $«.-
279,803 of the total income for the
entire preceding fiscal year, indl- <
eating an Increase In statu receipts j
which may yield a total as high |
as $200,000,000 when the year Is1
completed It verifies In many re-
spects the claims made by several
important candidate; for office
that new or higher taxes .ue un- j
necessary in Texas, with the in-
crcn.se from present sources, due to
increasing business, being availa-
ble for gradual retirement of the
general fund deficit, now totaling
around eleven and thre --quarter
million dollars Sheppard's analy-
sis showed higher income from va-
rious sources, including gasoline
tax. cigaret and liquor taxes, gross
oil production taxes, gross re-
ceipts taxes and sulphur taxes.
Simultaneously, members of the
senate's special subcommittee that
dralts preliminary state budgets
wen at work here, and Morris Ro-
berts, of Pettus and Harold Beck,
of Texarkana, members, declared |
! their belief substantial reduction
| could bo made in appropriations
I without impairing service Robert* :
| declared his studies already have
convinced him that consolidation j
| of duplicated work done by various
| departments, elimination of useless
employes .and savings in buying
supplies, can effectuate at least a
20 percent cut iti departmental j
budget, which last biennium to-
l a It'd about $23,000,000 If Roberts' I
plan is adopted, a saving sufficient 1
to letire the general fund deficit
within two years, without addition-
al revenue, could be made
Refusing to adopt a resolution
offered by Rep. Lonnie Smith. Ft
Worth, calling for resignation of
T M Scott as superintendent of
the state school lor the deaf, a
special house committee has agreed
to check further into the situation, j
The Board of Control, which su-
llpervliea the state Institutions, al-
ter listening with tho committee
to 25 charges of inefficiency a-
gainst Scott, voiced by the Texas
Association of Deaf, also a need
to look into the matter Scott, long
a state employe in various depart-
ments, has been superintendent 15
years The complainant* charged
he had refused to use sign lan-
guage In teaching deaf children,
and that the .school had a low
standing They declared Scott wdth
only high school education ,Ls not
I qualified to direct the institution, j
Scott said lie did no teaching, and
therefore, did not require high ed- ;
ucational qualifications. He declar :
ed the school enjoys a high rank-
ing. said sign language teaching j

No campaign in the history of
Texas has .seen such a profusion
of press agents as the current
candidate's wife .sore, and lost ins
Job.
The best agents yarn of the sea-
son was the one about tho ex-Cen-
lennial publicist ,who wrote Speak
er Bob Calvert, candidate for at-
torney general, asking for a job
and advising Calvert that he 'was
the man who put Sally Rand ui
the map." He suggested $100 a
week as compensation Culveri
wdio is tall and exceedingly thin,
replied that "in view of the differ-
ence between my style of archi-
tecture and that of Sally Rand, 1
am not sure you would be the best
agent for me Anyway, added
Calvert, who lias a sense of hu-
mor. “if a press agent costs $10<)
a week, why don’t you run for at-
torney general, and give me the
Job as your press agent? ’ Calvert
then announced he would be his
own campaign manager, press a-
gent, card passer and chaffeur.
Bill McCraw is spending more to
pay piuss agents and campaign
managers than he will get out ol
the office the next four years, if
elected, but there is little chance
of his being governor.
Virtually assured against any
cut in federal highway money in
the 1940 and 1941 fiscal years, by
reason of the action of the house
of representatives In making allo-
cations for these years (with very
quick senate occurrence expected!,
