Texas-Based Servicemen Up Accidents
By Varn Sanford
Texas Pre* Association
AUSTIN — Neither Texas civil-
ians nor the armed forces can af-
ford the losses incurred through
traffic accidents involving military
personnel in the state
On this note, the Texas Military-
Civilian Traffic Safety Council was
tormed in Austin with a goal of
reducing the accidents
About 200 persons, civilian and
military", attended the Council's
first meeting, called at the behest ¡
of Gov. Price Daniel.
Servicemen have more auto ac-
cidents then any other population
group in Tex2S, said Col. Homer
Garrison Jr . director of the De-
partment of Public Safety. Last
year servicemen drivers were in
\olved in 103 fatal accidents in
which 130 persons were killed.
A great many of the servicemen
in Texas are in the 18 to 25-vear
old age bracket, said Gen. Edward
T. Williams, Fourth Army com-
mander People in this age bracket
generally are the most inclined to
have auto accidents.
Gen Williams urged vigorous en-
forcement of traffic regulations so
that the driver knows he will be
c: ught and punished if he breaks
the law
Brad Smith, director of t h e
Governor's Highway Safety Com-
mission, outlined the five - point
program recommended by the gov-
ernor to improve highway safety.
1. Driver education for all high
school students.
2. A law to permit chemical tests
to determine if a driver is in-
toxicated
3. At least 200 additional high-
way patrolmen
4. Revision of the drivers li-
cense law.
5. A system of traffic courts.

WATER PROGRAM STUDIED—
Texas' 7-man Water Development
Board is considering whether to
ask the next Legislature to expand
and liberalize its program of lend-
ing financial aid to local water pro-
jects.
Decision is to be made at the
Board's Oct. 28 meeting.
Board presently has authority to
issue 8100,000,000 in Londs and
use the money to make loans to
local governments for water con-
servation projects. Loans are limit-;
ed to one-third the cost of the pro-
ject and cannot be more than $5,-
000.000 for any one project.
I'nder study is whether to ask
the Legislature to step up the pro-
gram by authorizing the Board to
lend as much as $15,000,000 peri
project and to issue another $100,
000,000 in bonds to purchase water
storage space in federal reservoirs. I
When the Board was created, the
law provided that another $100,-1
000,000 in bonds could be authoriz-
ed by a two- thirds vote of the Leg-
islature.
DANIEL HONORED Governor
Daniel is the newly elected chair-
man of the 16-state Southern Gov-
ernors Conference.
He is the second Texan in a
decade to head the group. Former
Gov. Allan Shivers was chairman
in 1951-52.
Conferences are devoted to the
study of problems which the mem-
ber slates have common. This year
the protection of home industries
against ruinous competition from
imports has been a prime issue.
Governor Daniel said he felt
much could be accomplished by
the conferring governors "if we
stand together."
HURRY-UP HOSPITALS—With
a long waiting list of mentally re-
tarded patients, the State Hospital
Board is studying short cuts toward
providing housing for them.
A contractor-member of the
Board presented drawings of one
possible approach— semi-perman-
; ent one-story, concrete block cot-
tages. They would provide for
40 persons, cost $38,000 apiece and
could be ready for occupancy in
20 months.
More than 1,000 children are
I now on the state homes' waiting
j list.
Board lias authorized getting an
estimate of the cost of putting an
automatic sprinkling system in the
I Confederate Home in Austin, now
used for mental patients. Home has
been called a fire trap, but if it
; could be made safe, the cost of
replacing it could be postponed.
Also voted by the Board was a
policy of preventing tuberculosis
patients, by force if necessary,
from leaving state hospitals until
they are well enough not to infect
other people.
A recent attorney general's rul-
ing held that the hospital system
¡does have authority to make TB
patients stay in the hospital until
they are no longer contagious.
EDUCATION SUPP O R T
SOUGHT—Texans will be penny
wise and pound foolish if they try
to avoid the cost of establishing
a top notch system of higher educ-
| ation.
This was the theme at an Austin
meeting of the members of govern-
ing boards of state colleges and
universities. A series of regional
meetings are planned during Oct-

ober and November to rally public
support for better appropriations
for state colleges.
Regretfully, the regents pegged
Texas state supported colleges as
less than best. A survey was cited
showing that 65 per cent of the top
jobs in Texas industry are held by
graduates of out-of-state colleges.
Texas is training the hired-hands;
other states are training the boss-
es, said Reagan Houston III of
San Antonio.
Texans wil pay, said John New-
ton of Beaumont, whether they
ante up for good education or not.
In an age of electronics, automa-
tion and exotic fuels, good educa-
tional and research facilities arc
a prime attraction for new indus-
tries, said Newton.
"Cost of losing major opportu-
nities for growth will be at least
as great as the cost of providing
what we really need," he said.
PRISON PROBLEMS CITED —
Seventy five per cent of the in-
mates of the Texas prison system
are in "tanks" or dormitories which
crowd impressionable young of-
fenders in with hardened criminals,
says the chairman of the Depart-
ment of Corrections.
More housing to correct this
situation is urgently needed, 11. H.
Coffield told an Austin audience.
On the bright side, Coffield said
the Texas system had pulled up
from one of the worst to one of
the best in the nation, in the past
10 years—a period when the pri-
son population skyrocketed. Yet
per-prisoner cost is far below the
national average.
As an "ounce of prevention"
Coffield urged citizen support of
such local agencies as churches,
Scouts and Salvation Army.

Gives Gifts
To Church
The Lydia Sunday School Class
met in Fellowship Hall of the First

potholders, crib sheets and pads
were among the useful items dis-
played.
Members divided into groups for
discussion and plans toward a
more successful year.
The meeting was most interest-
ing and enjoyable.
