heading a rugged defensive
line. The Bills activitated for-
mer Oiler defense tackle Dud-
ley Meredith last week.
Buffalo’s top receivers are
Elbert Dubenion, Auer, Gil-
christ, Ed Rutkowski and Er-
nie Warlick.
Houston moved the ball well
in the first quarter against
Kansas City but didn’t have the
ball but 10 plays in the second
and third quarters as the
Chiefs were building up a 14-0
cushion.
Quarterback George Blanda
had his worst day of the season,
hitting only 16 of 42 for 175
yards and one TD with five in-
terceptions. The ole veteran of
15 campaigns will have to im
prove if the Oilers hope to top
Buffalo. It’ll be Blanda firing
passes at Charlie Hennigan,
Willard Dewveall, Sid Blanks,
Dobie Craig and Charlie Tolar
in hopes of penetrating Buffa-
lo’s third-ranked pass defenses.
Blanks, the fine rookie from
Texas A&I, continues to lead
the Oiler ground game with
280 yards on 37 carries for a
fine 7.6 average per carry.
Blanks and Charlie Tolar give
the Oilers most of their ground
offensive.
Houston’s rookie-lined de-
fensive unit had its bad mo
ments against Kansas City but
still managed to pick off two
passes. Pete Jaquess and W. K.
Hicks each came up with a
theft with Jaquess running his
total to five for the year.
Houston has not had too
much trouble with the Bills in
the past, winning six of eight
games. Seban has yet to regis-
ter a win over the Oilers in six
tries as Bill head coach.
Buffalo’s last win over the
Oilers was in 1961 when the
Bills took a 22-12 decision at
Jeppesen Stadium.
Austin — A top finance au-
thority on state government is
be^ all over for coach hopeful that the tax bill writ-
ten by the 1965 Legislature will
be smaller than many advance
That is the situation that the predictions have indicated.
Oilers face Sunduy when they Jim McGrew, research direc-
return to Jeppesen Stadium for tor for Texas Research League,
a night battle with the unbeat- " *
en Buffalo Bills. It will be the
AFL’s first Sunday night game
in history and it could be an
even bigger date for the Oil-
ers. Kickoff is set for 7 p. m
with upwards of 30,000 expec-
ted to be on hand.
The Oilers suffered their sec-
ond league defeat last Sunday,
28-7 at the hands of the Kan-
sas City Chiefs and are now
two games behind league-lead-
ing Boston and Buffalo, both
with 4-0 records. Another set-
back for the Oilers would just
about kill any hopes for the
Eastern Division crown.
Coach Lou Saban's Bill are
off to the best start in their
history, scaring wins over Kan
sas City, San Diego, Denver
and Oakland with the league’s
top ground offensive headed by
all-pro fullback Cookie Gil-
christ and rookie Joe Auer
The Bills have averaged over
150-yards a game on the ground
and with quarterbacks Jack
Kemp and Daryle Lamonica
around to threaten through the
airways, Bills could finally be
developing into the great ball
club which has been forecast
for the past three seasons.
Buffalo has given up but 53
points in four games with Tom
Sestak, Roland McDole, Jim
said (35,000,000 a year in new
revenue ought to cover the
bulk of Gov. John Connelly’s
higher education program,
teacher pay raises and about
40 percent of the budget in-
creases sought by state agen-
cies.
McGrew, who addressed
Austin’s chapter of Sigma Del-
ta Chi, professional journalism
fraternity, made these “guess-
timates":
About $625,000,000 will be
available for general revenue
spending next biennium, in-
cluding $83,000,000 surplus at
the end of the present fiscal
period. That’s $153,000,000
above the present level.
With no new taxes at all,
the Legislature could provide
up to $120,000,000 in addition-
al general revenue spending for
higher education and maybe
$45,000,000 more for state de-
partments and agencies.
An added $60,000,000 plus
in revenue (per biennium)
would finance the state’s $74,'
000,000 share of a $45-a-month
pay raise for public school
teachers as well.
Texas Commissioner on
Higher Education recommend-
ed $89,000,000 more for higher
education from general reve-
nue. Governor’s Committee on

Efficiency at the
TSO Contact Lens Laboratory-:
What It means to you
m
»-t Pi, J"
At TSO, contact lenses are
given special attention. We
have a separate laboratory
specifically designed for proc-
essing them. It was in this lab-
oratory that our research pro-
gram developed the famous
TSO Micro-Sight contact lens
with the exclusive multi-curve
lens design and the special
edge-beveling process. ■ It is
in this laboratory that each
TSO lens undergoes eight (8)
separate, precision inspections
during processing. This almost
fanatical attention to accuracy
has contributed greatly to our
excellent reputation in the
field of contact lenses. To
date, we have successfully
fitted over 40,000 patients. ■
You might ask what materials
are used to make contact
lenses. Just one, the finest op-
tical-grade acrylic plastic. It
is ideal for contact lenses be-
cause it Is shatterproof and it
processes and finishes excep-
tionally well—so well that we
are able to say that a typical
TSO patient readily achieves
minimum adaptation time and
maximum wearing comfort»
Because of the efficiency of
our processing techniques, we
are able to offer our Micro-
Bight contact lenses at unusu-
ally reasonable cost Just $65
for single vision contact
lenses, complete with exami-
nation and fittings. Bifocal
lenses are also available at
reasonable cost Convenient

crease of $165,000,000. But

which would reduce the gener
al revenue hike to $120,000,000
State Hospitals and Special
Schools, the judiciary and oth-
er state agencies have put in
for $112,000,000 more than the
current budget.
Ask where additional mo-
ney likely would come from,
both McGrew and his boss,
League Director Alvin A. Bur-
ger, noted that restoration of
the $2.75 corporation franchise
tax rate, removal of exemp-
tions in the present sales tax or
raising of the rate would be big
revenue producers. They made
no recommendation.
JOBS FILLED—Larry Tem-
ple, 28, formerly of Plainview,
was named by Governor Con-
naily as his executive assistant
to succeed Howard Rose, who
returned to law practice in
Midland.
Connally appointed Edward
H. Harte, publisher of the Cor-
pus Christi Caller-Times, to
succeed Vann Kennedy, Corpus
Christi radio executive, who
resigned from the Texas State
Historical Survey Committee.
A-G OPINIONS—Atty. Gen.
Waggoner Carr clarified an
earlier opinion and held that a
county can spend money on
transportation surveys for de-
velopment of county road sys-
tems.
In a torrent of other opinions
released recently, Carr held
that:
County judges are required
to call elections for creating
mosquito control districts on
petition of 200 voters ... A
veteran discharged at his own
request before termination of
his enlistment is not eligible
for benefits under the Hazel-
wood (aid to college students)
act . . . Guadalupe County can
accept roads and public ways
of the Treasure Island subdivi-
sion without further dedication
Property optioned for pur-
chase after Jan. 1 should be
listed for taxation in optionor’s
name . , . State Veterans Land
Board may adopt a rule or
regulation authorizing veterans’
loans to be prepaid at any time,
with interest charged only to
date of final payment . . . Gal-
veston County can pay for gaso-
line in private boats used by
the sheriff for official duties
. . . Salary must be paid to
persons serving out the unex-
pired term of a county school
superintendent even though the
post has been abolished by vote
. . . Property tax funds can be
used for purchase of right-of-
way for federal, state and
county highways and lateral
roads ... A sheriff has author-
ity to award commutation of
time for good conduct to a
county jail prisoner ... A cor-
from the Texas Liquor Control
Board If 51 percent of its is-
sued stock is owned by per-
sons who have been U. S. citi-
zens and Texas residents for
three years and possess other
qualifications ... Mosquito con-
trol tax levies must be part of
the 80-eent constitutional lim-
it . . . Special fuel tax refunds
may be made where fuels have
been lost by accident.
CONNALLY APPLAUDS
REPORT — The Warren Com-
mission’s report on the assas-
sination of President Kennedy
has received Governor Connal-
ly’s approval.
Connally, who was seriously
wounded by the assassin, sta-
ted that reading the report
brought back memories he had
tried to put aside.
Carr’s summation on the as-
sassination followed the War-
ren report. Several volumes of
exhibits, consisting of evidence
and information collected by
Texas officials, are a part of
the state report and will be
displayed in the state archives.
Connally told newsmen he
supports tighter security meas-
ures by state and local police
guarding major public officials.
ESTES PROBE — A State
Department of Public Safety
investigation of Billie Soi Estes
will continue “until all ramifi-
cations” are cleared, Connally
told a press conference.
Sen. Ralph Yarborough has
challenged authority of the
DPS to look into allegations
that he received $50,000 from
Estes, who now faces prison
sentences for swindling.
Connally said of the DPS: “It
has a clear duty and responsi-
bility with respect to law en-
forcement. It is not a political
organization. It has not been
used as such, and will not be
used as such If I have anything
to do with it."
A Yarborough campaign
aide, Fagan Dickson of Austin,
issued a release in which he
said he has information that
Estes has made a statement
bearing out an FBI Investiga-
tion report that there was no
$50,000 gift to Yarborough,
WATER PROJECTS — Rep-
resentatives of eight, Eust Tex-
as soil conservation districts
have been conferring with Tex
as Water Commission staffers
about a proposal for a South
east Texas Resources Conserva-
tion and Development Project.
They are mapping a plan for
coordiantion of all existing wa-
ter projects in their jurisdic-
tions, as well as others being
projected, so that recreational,
flood control, drainage, levee
and soil conservation units will
be utilized to the fullest.
Counties involved are New
ton, Tyler, Hardin, Polk, Jas-
per, Jefferson, Orange, Cham-
bers and parts of Liberty and
San Jacinto counties.
It is expected that the dis-
tricts will go next to the State
Soil Conservation Board. They
hope to present a plan to the
U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, which — if approved —
would designate an agency to
do the actual designing. Desig-
nated agency probably would
be the Soil Conservation Ser-
vice.
Assistance plan, called the
Resources, Conservation and
Development Act, was passed
in 1962. But it just now is get-
ting underway.
Act provides that the U. S.
Department of Agriculture
pays for the planning and par-
ticipating in recreational and
other facilities on a local shar-
ing basis.
COKE COUNTY DAM
HEARING SET — On Oct. 19
Texas Water Commission will
hear arguments on application
of the Colorado River Munici-
County. Arguments are set for
the same day on whether to
delay consideration of the ap-
plication.
District wants to increase
reservoir capacity of the pro-
ject to 488.760-acre feet. Lower
Colorado River Authority has
objected to the amended ap-
plication.
Commissioner set Oct. 26 for
hearing
Houston Lighting and Power
Co. to take 3,600,000-acre feet
of water a year from Dickinson
Bay for industrial purposes.
GREEN BELT DAM CHAN-
GED — Texas Water Commis
sion approved the request of
Green Belt Municipal and In-
dustrial W a t e p Authority to
move its proposed dam and res-
ervoir site from the Salt Fork
bf the Red River upstream to a
point about five miles from
Childress.
Engineer S. W. Freese said
the relocation was necessary
because clay materials in the
bottom of the Salt Fork loca-
tion weren’t strong enough to
bear the proposed dam,
State Sen. Andy Rogers of
Childress says that any site is
alright with his constituents,
just so long as they get water
soon. Rogers said, "People in
Childress have started hauling
bath water, because if they use
local water they smell worse
after a bath than before.”
TRAVEL WRITERS TOUR
SET — An expected 30 out-of-
state magazine and newspaper
travel writers will be treated
to activities as varied as horse-
back riding and Hamlet during
the Texas Tourist Develop-
ment Agency's Nov. 4-14 Trav-
el Writers’ Tour.
After that, many are expec-
ted to visit Saltillo and the
Mexican state of Coahuila for
two days as guests of Gov.
Braulio Fernandez Aguirre.
Horseback riding will be a
feature of their stay in McKit-
trick Canyon, near the proposed
national Guadalupe Mountain
Park. They will view one act
Tourist Ag«ncy officials are
hoping the tour will produce
as much response as the spring
tour of East and South Texas,
which resulted in a thick book
full of reprints from articles
about Texas which appeared
nationally.
FOREST ROADS AUTHOR-
IZED — Texas Highway Com-
mission authorized $368,000 in
the application o f farm-to-market road develojS-
ment in Davy Crockett (Hous-
ton County) and Angelina Na-
tional Forests. Two projects
included are linked to develop-
ment of Sam Rayburn Reser-
voir. A third would connect^
two scenic roads south of Ken-
nard.
Commissioner also authorized
preliminary engineering stu-
dies for development of sec-
tions of U. S. Highway 50 in
Victoria and Jackson counties
into multi - lane expressway.
Eventually the multi-lane fa-
cility will extend from Hous-
ton to Brownsville.
SHORT SNORTS — Gover-
nor Connally said reports that
organized racial demonstra-
tions may be staged in San An-
tonio during the Southern Gov-
ernors’ conference, Oct. 10-13,
are “mere rumors,” but added,
“What can you do about it if
it happens?” ... A large snarl
of red tape stands between col-
leges and junior colleges in
600,000 federal grants for con-
struction, but Dr. L. E. Harrell
of the Texas torhmisslon on
Higher Education said they
may know something in De-
cember . . . State Highway
Commission has authorized 432

totaling $20,000,000 for 180
