Mere Important
The United States Senate
past years has shown a tenden-
cy to restore cuts made by the
House in appropriation bills.
This year, however, the Senate
has seen fit to go along with
the House on most of these cuts.
The first indication of this
break with tradition came when
the Senate voted to sustain the
$80,365,000. cut made by the
House in the appropriation for
the Treasury and Post Office De-
partments.
In swift succession, the Sen-
ate went on to rut $$11,000. off
the appropriation for White
House Operations and Executive
Staff in addition to approving
the almost five million dollar
cut already made by the House.
The Senate approved the
House rut of approximately two
hundred and eighteen million
dollars and reduced the approp-
riation of the Department of
Commerce an additional forty
million dollars.
While the Senate restored ap-
proximately thirteen million dol-
lars to a forty-seven million dol-
lar House cut in the appropria-
tion bill for the State Depart-
ment, it went on to reduce by
fifteen million dollars the appro-
priation for the U. S. Informa-
tion Agency (Voice of America,
etc.) which had already been cut
approximately thirty-eight mil-
lion dollars by the House. The
Senate also made strong recom-
mendations that this Agency be
placeld under the control and
supervision of the Department of
State.
The House cut six million
eight hundred thousand dollars
off the Department of Justice
appropriation, and the Senate
reduced this figure still further
by a million and a half dollars.
Yet to come up on the Senate
Floor are the Houae-slashed ap-
propriation bills for the Depart-
ment of the Interior, Indepen-
dent Agencies. Department of
Health, Education and Welfare,
and Agriculture Department. If
the past few weeks can be taken
as an indication of future Sen-
ate action, all these Depart-
mental appropriations are in for
rough treatment by the Upper
House.
Today, the House begins de-
bate on the appropriation bill
for the Department of Defense.
This Is the largest appropria-
tion in the Federal budget, ab
■orbing approximately 58 cents
of each tax dollar. The House
will proceed cautiously In the
consideration of this measure.
The question before the Mem-
bers is this: how and where can
this appropriation be cut with-
out harming our National De-
fense program. Congressional
leaders believe it can be done,
but each item will be weighed
carefully in the light of our pre-
sent needs for defense arma-
ments and the continuing peril-
ous world situation. The bill,
as it is submitted to the House
Floor today, contains a two

Texaa Press Assoctottoe
AUSTIN, Tex. — Officially,
Tens' 55th Legislature now is
in the history books. But the real
story comes within the next few
months when hundreds of new
laws take effect.
They'll change people's lives
a little bit or a lot. Voter re-
action to these changes will pro-
vide grist for the 56th session
and determine how many 55th
legislators will survive for the
56th.
Biggest issues of the past five
months were water, segregation,
reform measures, teacher pay
and insurance. Here’s what the
lawmakers did.:
Water — Passed a proposed
constitutional amendment for a
$200,000,000 bond issue to help
local governments build dams
and reservoirs. Failed, despite
frantic last-minute efforts. to
pass another amendment for a
$100,000,000 bond issue to buy
water storage space in federal
reservoirs.
Segregation — Passed two of
eight segregation bills. One al-
lows local school boards to as-
sign pupils to certain schools;
other requires local option elec-
tion before schools can be inte-
grated.
Another, requiring registration
of groups advocating integration
or segregation, was declared un-
constitutional by the attorney
general. He said it would violate
freedom of speech and press.
Other House-passed bills died on
the vine after repeated Senate
filibusters made it apparent it
would take all summer to get
them through.
Official Reform — Passed a
code of ethics bill prohibiting
state officials and employes from
engaging in outside activity "in
conflict with the public interest.”
A sprinkling of officials already
have filed statements of their!
private Interest with the secre-j
tary of state as stipulated hi the j
law. A lobbyist registration bill
died when the House snd Senate
couldn't iron out differences. A
host of others proposed as re-
forms were ditched earlier.
Teacher Pay — Legislators,
with Gov. Price Daniel’s help,
found, after raking and scraping,
enough money to give each pub-
lic school teacher a $399 a jvar
raise. It meant recalling two
other money hills, one to pay off
some old bonds and me to refund j
taxes paid under an unconstitu-1
ttonal law. Situation was tense |
when Comptroller Robert S. Cal- 1
vert first ruled the stste's kitty !
was $13,000,000 short of enough
to cover. i
Insurance — Passed s host nfi
laws bringing " whole new »vs-[
tem headed by new men Into the
battle-scarred Insurance Com-
mission. Deadlock over a full-
time or part-time hoard was fi-
nally compromised with a full-
time hoard for one vear. part-
time thereafter. PoUcy-makinc
board members will get $15,000
a year when working full time.
Added to set-up will he a full-
time fSO.OOO-a-year Commission-
er nf Insurance who will be top
administrator.
Stemming mostly from the
multt-million - dollar ICT and US
Trust failures, several other bills
were pessed placing stricter re-
outremonts on insurance comna-
ny officials. However, the Legis-
lators fell flat on their facet
when it came to requiring publi-
cation of financial statements by
insurance companies. The bill
never got out of the House Com-
mittee on Insurance. So only
those companies that want the
public to k*ow will print them.
And These, Too — Aside from
the big issues, scores of not-so-
ma Jor laws will cause Texans
to change their way of doing
things. Here are a few:
A “Scratched Ballot" is the
only legal way to vote in future
elections. No more choice be-
tween scratching and checking.
Texas Woman's University at
Denton, once Texas College for
Women and before that. CIA,
will be the nation’s first in that
category. Women have a right
to change their minds, reasoned
solons. Besides, there were hun-
dreds of cute little coeds around,
a ’lobbyln’.
State Judges, both district and
appellate, will get raises of about
$3,000 a year apiece.
City Officials can be elected
for Your instead of two years if
voters okay a proposed' consti-
tutional amendment. Individual
cities would then have to adopt
the four-year plan.

others, passed literally hundreds
of “local and uncontested” bills.
These are ground out in batches,
usually without anyone but the
author knowing what they do <p
why.
New Force — Future office-
seekers will have a new Core# 4»
reckon with — the Democrats <f
Texas.
D.O.T., a new name for the eU
Liberal-Loyalist wing of the par-
ty, has set itself two goals — to
gain control of the party machin-
ery in Texas and to put its ad-
herents in control of state gov-
ernment.
Some 1,500 delegates from 101
counties attended the orgsniznig
rally in Austin. Mrs. R. D. Rato
dolph of Houston, Texas’ liberal-
minded national committedwom-
an, was named leader. New U.
S. Sen. Ralph Yarborough Dew
down from Washington to speak.
D.Q.T. is frowned on by Gov-
ernor Daniel and Executive
Commtitee Chairman Jim Lind-
sey. D.O.T. charges them with
usurping" party control at this
Fort Worth convention.
So You
KNOW TEXAS
to help rebuild public property
under an emergency bill.
Price Daniel family will get a
better roof over its head. Money
was authorized to repair the
Mansion ceiling that collapsed
recently, just missing the gover-
nor.
Texas archives will get a
brand new building. Shunting of
historical documents from barns
to basements to quonset huts in
past years had brought a hue
and cry from civic groups.
Auto license will cost 10 per
cent more. Highway Department
is to use the extra funds to share
50-50 with cities and counties,
the cost of right-of-way for new
roads. Previously cities and
counties have had, to bear all
land costs.
Governor’s signature is still
pending on many bills, of course,
but vetoes are not expected on
any ot the above.
In addition, this legislature, as
the annexationists to the bitter
end and lost. How did he take if?
A. Like the champion and sport
that he was: with supseme grace.
It is very likeley that he surmised
how the fight would end and that
annexation was not an unmitigat-
ed evil. But he belived in indepen-
dence and felt he should strike
out for his principles.
