At’STIN, Tex (UP)—A house
Committee studied a proposed
constitutional amendment pro-
hibiting a state. income tax in
Texas.
The proposal, authored by
Hep. Marshall O. Hell of San An-
tonio. was oen of the highlights
during a session of the house
committee on constitutional
amendments.
Committee members also will
consider an amendment, spon-
sored by Rej . Cloytl Young of
Linden, which would ask voters
to approve issuance of ,$75,000,-
000 in bond for the veterans
land txiard. Approval of the
amendment would raise total
fund- provided for the program
to an even .S'uo.000.000.
Gov. Allan Shivers told news-
men the Texas financial picture!
was looking '..tighter, although
next taxes stii; are uraentlv need-
ed. [>
The chief cxeeit .ve said lie i
had txx>n “studying the situa-
tion," and indicated the new tax
| load might lie lighter than $110,-
Mis. A. H. McKlumrrav 000.000. as had been estimated.

Shivers, however, expressed
Berth;; hope that the House revenue and
taxation committee “may devel-
op some new and untapped
sources” for taxation in a study
now underway.
The gov ernor had nothing hut
praise for the lawmakers.
"I’m more than happy," lie
Jim Col- i said, over the hard-working, con-
Helen | sdentious att.tilde on the part
of the legislature. I don’t believe
I’ve ever seer, a membership that
appeared to lie more determined
to get down to business.''
Shivers suggested that the
Texas economy commission and
the legislative council might look
into operation of state hoards
agencies, which he said “should
be self-supporting instead of tak-
ing out of the general revenue
fund.”
The house judiciary commit-
tee approved moa.-uro yester-
day erasing a legal requirement
that a murrim woman acknow-
ledge a conveyance of property
separately from her husband.
The bill also provided that a
family's home could not he sold
by a married man without the
consent of hi- wife.
"The time is long past," Rep.
Tom Cheatham of Cuero told the!
committee, when the xvifo needs j
protection from her husband.
It’s time now for a man to be
protected from his wife."

I medicine" for the theft.
However, the president of Tex-
as Bitulithle Company, which
employed Mel’eak more than 30
years ago, said he planned no
prosecution.
"If this man has lived a good
life for the past 32 years." said
President W. H. Cotirson of Dal-
lies. "give him my best regards
and my blessings. I certainly
