the Board for State Hospitals and
Special Schools, following its
hasty acceptance of Dr. Sam
Texas State Teachers Association
for a $45 a month pay raise Mr
public school teachers, some new
farm of taxation will be neces-
sary.
Connally's budget was hitched
to his main thesis— that higher
education needs to be improved.
He urged the Legislature to pour
many new millions into the state’s
colleges and universities and the
junior college system.
But he said he would with-
draw the recommendations for
added .-pending for the 22 state
colleges and universities if it is
not accompanied by his proposal
for re-organization.
Connally wants a strong cen-
tral coordinating board, with au-
thority to decide which colleges
shall teach what courses and to
control their building programs.
Unless such a board is created,
the Governor said he will with-
draw his proposals for higher sal-
aries for college administrators moral and illicit
and teachers, designed to bring
them to $11,000 a year average, or
10 per cent above the national
figures.
Major changes in Connally's
budget include (1) expansion of
funds to increase vocational and
technical training both in high
schools and junior colleges; (2)
more college buildings; and (3)
extension of parks and water-
based recreation developments.
All would be done with Federal
matching funds.
In over-all figures, the present
total state budget, including the
25 per cent which comes from
Federal aid, is $3,200.0000.000.
Connally suggests spending $3,-
600,000,000 during the two years
starting September 1, 1965.
LEGISLATIVE SESSION — In
ary 12.
The fact that Governor Con-
nally and Lt. Gov. Preston Smith
will not be inaugurated until
January 26—so Texans can at-
tend President Johnson’s inaugu-
ration on January 20— will not
delay any business. Both of us
are incumbents and business will
be "as usual," says Smith.

RECREATION STUDY COM-
PLETED — A nine-member wat-
er recreation study committee has
recommended an $11,000,000 a-
year federal-state program to im-
prove pleasure facilities on Texas

t Hoerster’s resignation and the
DPS investigation are said to
have been tied to charges by Rep.
Paul Haring of Goliad that im-
practices (in-
cluding narcotics thefts by em-
ployes) existed at the Austin
hospital for the mentally ill.
However, the Hospitals Board
has not elaborated, except to say
that Hoerster’s resignation was

Governor Connally, who re-
ceived the report, said he is
