, <nueh more power to sue than
! ' f"re the last war. And the
courts much more often than
t ')gr<^ now set the damages in
, "any kinds of cases.
!o !<^as. the legislature l)y a
I'ioper iction may permit cer-
tain general types of suits to be
brought against the state, under
various conditions and restric-
tions. Then, if a specific situation
arises which is not covered by the
general ruies, the legislators arc
aiithorized to pass a special meas-
ure to permit suit to be brought.
therefore, any person seeking
to enforce a claim against the
Sta'e of Texas through the courts
inust petition the Legistature for
the necessary permission, untess
i)is claim talis within some gen-
eral category or type previously
recognized by our lawmakers.
During each session, the Legisla-
ture passes legislation allowing
sttits to be brought against the
state in a variety of cases.
Sometimes, however, suits may
be brought against individuals
holditig office under the State of
Texas and acting as agents of
the state, but where the state
itseif is not the principal party to
the suit, without first gaining
consent to sue. There are nu-
merous situations in which an in-
dividuai officcr rr.ay be sued with
regard to the duties and func-
tions of his office, and in which
the state is not directly or sub-
stantiaily a party in interest.
Suppose you do obtain legisla-
tive permission to sue the state.
What happens then?
If suit is brought against the
State of Texas, and the action is
successfully prosecuted, you will
be awarded a judgment against
the state. Then, it's back to the
Legislature for more iegislation
to appropriate Me necessary
money with which the state may
pay off the judgment.

A PPEAR1NG as a featured side
^ man on some 20 LP's a year
—not to mention TV and motion
picture scores and concert dates—
Jimmie Rowies is recognized as
one of the top jazz pianists on the
west coast ... He aiso turns out
easy-going, witty, jazz-tempered
vocals, but few people knew it
until Peggy Lee brought it to the
attention of Capitol Records . . .
It was in 19S0 that Rowies first ac;
f6mpanicd Miss Lee and beguiled
her with his own afterhours sing-
ing, jKTj.** " "P*
In his first starring Capitol al-
bum, entitled "Kinda Groovy,"
Rowies offers up a dozen vocais
as a natural component of a
swinging combo featuring Rowies'
own piano, Howard Roberts' gui-
tar, Max Bennett's bass and alter-
nating Nick Martinis and Sheltey
Manne on drums . . . The reper-
toire consists of lesser known
gems Rowies has picked up along
the way during 20 years in jazz.
J'jyiM ^bovt Bagie" is the un-
usual title of Joe Bnccfs new al-
bum for Capitol . . . One of thjree
packages launching Capitol's "Di-
mensions of Jazz" series, "Wild
About Basie" alludes to Count Ba
sie for good reason . . . Basie was
one of Bucci's earliest boosters,
has booked him at his own New
York Ciub and appeared on the
same bill with the promising young
organist . . . The compliment is
repaid as Bucci demonstrates his
jazz organ version of Basie hits
from the '30's to the '60 s.
