IV decisively defeating a
ruaiMd-
teant to toe him the number of
Stoto Sente seats from 31 to
* It, rwagvad ate possible rea-
son for a special legislative
■easton this year.
Federal courts control tto
other tocto issues which could
nfirt lawmakers to cone
back to Cke capital for another
IMS powwow.
Since no senatorial district- -
toC act had been passed at the
rajidar session, adoption of the
virtually automatic special ses-
sion call to decide how the eight
eddtfenal Senate districts were
to be divided.
Proponents of the defeat-
ed proposal promptly tagged
its rejection a loss for rural
areas.
Eight metropolitan counties
accoufed for aoough votes to
block it to the light-turnout,
September 7, election. But
scene rural areas voted against
it, too.
Thirteen inctanbeat Senators
will be jammed together into
six districts under court-
ordered senatorial redistrict-
iqg.
Tbs amendment, if adopted,
would have given all incumbents
a chance'to retain their jobs.
Now, at least seven Senate vet-
erans are certain to be eli-
minated at the polls next year.'
Suits challenging Congres-
sional and House of Represen-
tatives redistricting by the 59th
Legislature and attacking con-
stitutionality of the poll tax
still could require a special
sens ion.
Congressional redistricting
case was heard fay a special
three-judge federal court at
Houston last Thursday. Same
court also conducted a pre-
trial hearing on the legislative
re-apportionment suit. A rul-
ing that either act is imcon-
stitutional conceivably could
carry with it a mandate that
lawmakers redo their work be-
fore the filing deadline for the
1966 election.
If the poll tax is outlawed,
Texas will be left without s
voter registration act. That Is,
inlets the federal court, which
will hear toe case here in mid-
November, decrees some gort
of emergency plan for 1966
elections.
AQy. Gen. Waggoner Carr,
continuing Ms opposition to the
fodeiml government’s suit to ban
the poll tax, last week fired off
tetters to all congressmen
asking them for evidence to sig>-
port their findings ( in 1965
Voting Rights Act) that the Tex-
as levy violates constitutional
rights. *—

debut was met with laughter from
onlookers who called it the
“steam squirt “ Sparks from the

drawn engines were a fire hazard

Little did we appreciate the
