Austin — Final week of the
Legislature s 57th regular session
was [ike most — with minor bitls
tumbling cut in an avalanche and
major bills tied up in conference
committee.
Ur<de: tmc- .r-newr p.'jssu.t.'.
lawmakers searched desperately
for comptomises. but found their
difference deep and hard to
bridge.
Small loan reguiation — stickiest
cf many sticky problems — bogged
down in the Senate State Affairs
Committee. It was an issue on
which feelings seemed to run
stronger ar.d divisions deeper as
time went on.
i3ut many other bills "made it",
rr appeared to have, by receiving
final passage in both houses as the
session drew to a close. Among
them were bills that would:
Outlaw selling liquor by the
drink under the "front" of a
private club and provide for li-
censing and regulation of bona
fide private clubs by the State
Liquor Control Board.
Pay members of the State Board
of Insurance annual salaries, not
to exceed $20/X)0. instead of the
present $50 for each working day.
Salaries were pegged at S1H.OOC
j in the appropriations hill.
Regulate importation of m.dk
from other states. Result here did
not make mitk producers happy.
It \vou!d allow mitk to be imported
} into Texas if an inspector from
the producing state certified its
purity. Texas producers sought a
bill requiring certification by a
Texas inspector.
Make an emergency allocation
p' SG50.U(X) to the Department of
Corrections, hard hit financially
by overflow prison population and
crop failures on prison farms.
SAFETY HH.LS PUSHM!) — In
j the waning days of the Legisla-
] tui e Governor Daniel made at
j strong plea for highway safety
legislation.
Reduction of traffic deaths has
been a cause for which the gover-
nor has worked unstintingly during
all his years as chief executive.
Texas, he reminded the Legisla-
ture. has lost 4.707 lives to traffic
accidents in the past two years.
Had all these deaths occurred in a
single disaster, said the governor,
the Legislature would be swift to
take emergency action.
Daniel asked for passage of bills
to revise the drivers' license law,
provide for driver education, allow
chemical tests to determine
drunkenness, set up a system of
traffic courts and increase number
and salaries of state highway
patrolmen.
WKLFAHK HM.LS PASSED — T"o
bills to give extra help to persons
on the state welfare rolls has re-
ceived final passage from both
House and Senate.
One. already signed by the gov-
ernor, would increase by $1,800,-
000 a year the amount that may he
paid out hy the state to the aged
and blind. This puts the annual
spending up to the $47,000,000 ceil-
ing.
Another provides for mddical
care up to $12 a month for those
on old age assistance. Payment
would be made directly to the
"vendors" — i. e., doctors, hospi-
tals, nursing homes.
Senate hacked off from a pro-
posed constitutionai amendment
that would have completely re-
moved the $47,000,000 a year ceil-
ing on state welfare payments. It
amended tt to provide for a $5,000,-
000 a year increase. This measure,
if approved by the House, will
ha\^' to be voted on by the people.
(iHAVEYAH!)'.' — In the final
days of the session, these bills
were among those apparently ton
hogged down to get finat passage
1. A nesv graduated tax on gas
by Rep. Bob Kckhardt of Houston
House kilied the bil] which aimed
at putting a progressively higher
tax on those holding long-term
contracts for gas at low prices.
A bill scLing limitations and
regulations on annexation iy
ci'ies, by Sen. Grady llaxlewood of
Amatillo. Senate apparently gave'
the bill a death sentence by re-
{ fusing to take it up.
3. "Little Hoover Commission"

commission to study ways to
economize in government, intro-
duced by Sen. Bill Patmanof

HERE'S WHAT WE REJECT:
As Americans — not ;impty as physician* —we
are duply concerned about the dangers of Social-
ized Medicine And we are not crying "wolf when
wc apply that term to the currency proposed tegis-
Ltmn ^h,th would establish a COMPULSORY
tualth-carc program for everyone covered by Social
Scmrity (regardless of need). The Socialist Party
itself calls this Socialized Medtcine. And we be
!mc they have a more expert knowledge of socialist
definitions than do those who describe it as "just a
method of financing aid for the aged."
This COMPULSORY health care program adds
up to nothing more than Soctalized Medicine —
controticd by a bureau of the Federa) Government
paid for by increased Social Security taxes,
burdening both present and future generations
Confined at first to the aged, it would inevitably be
expanded to cover all Americans.
Moreover, when the Federal Government enters
the privacy of the examination room — controlling
both standards of practice and choice of practi-
tioner the cost includes loss of freedom. Your
doctor s freedom to treat you in an individual way.
