Austin, Texas -- When Preston

ary 21. it will lie to t lit* tunc of
marching bands and at least five
dance orchestras. Smith lias re-

A big Congress Avenue parade
will follow his swearing-in at noon
that day, and after a brief rest
Governor and Mrs Smith will lend
off the dancing at n grand ball.
They'll be lionored with at least
four other Isills during the evening.
Lust time the capilol witnessed

more than 20,000 well-wishers dan-
ced til dawn K t inaugurations
have been farther sedate since
then Governor Smith said he'd re-
veal more details of his inaugura-
tion ill a couple of weeks.

Gov. Elect Preston Smith says
Harold K Dudley will lie his top
assistant and that lie will beef up
the Texas governor's staff dealing
wilh federal program*.
Dudley, 11, Smith's chief cam-
paign organizer, was manager of
the Wichita Kails Chamber of Com-
merce.
Smith said he "will have to have
some additional" staff members
in work with rapidly-expanding fe-
deral - slate relations issues, lie
revealed that Wayne Gihiiens of
Brcckenridge, who is Governor Con-
nally's Washington liaison man, can
sla> on it Ire wants to las can sc-
veral other middle-echelon Connal-
ly aids', but that the Washington
off!<•«■ inust tie expanded to do an
effective job.
Sen. Dorsey Hardeman of San
Angclo may ;ilsu he lapped for gov-
ernment duties in the new admin-
istration, Smith indicated ■ though
probably not as secretary of slate.
Ih is considering "three or four"
for that post.
Smith pledged to continue bis
"open door policy as governor and
to hold regular weekly news con-
ferences.
(X)CKTAII. ( I.I lis - Proposed new
rules for drinking clubs were
shelled in public hearing by 11 bi-
stro o|ieralors who urged different
catagories of regulations for a wide
variety of establishments catering
to the cocktail trade.
Texas Liquor Control Board took
the issue undcrr advisement and
strict definition of club "guests"
early date Meanwhile, its (imposed
requirement that payment for mix-
ed drinks l>c made in cash and
strirct definition of club "guests"
remains under court attack.
Witnesses at hearing in the stale
eapitol made these principal sug
gestions:
"That rules be geared to types
of operations in l,.lti el lis over
the stale <344 ol which are in dry
areas).
*Tluit record-keeping r e q ii i r e-
nients Ih- ki pt as simple a* imssihlc
' That they be punished only for
"knowing" violations.
"There are obviously several
kinds of private dulse, all trying
to operate under one broad defini-
tion. Comprehensive regulations
might include dear-cut definitions
of the various kinds or classes of
clubs. This would, of course, involve
a clarification system" testified
U'lyee Chancy of Dallas, represen-
ting the Texas l<one Star Chapter
Club Managers Association of Ame-
rica.
Other club o| 'rators suggested
separation on lines of non-profit
and strictly - business clubs -- or
those which have relatively static
membership and the rapid • turn
over clubs such as those in motels
and hotels.
"No matter what regulations are
adopted, " maintained the presi-
dent of a large San Antonio club,"
there will lie confusion under pre-
sent laws." lie suggest<xl liquor-
by-lhe-drink legalization is the only
answer. A new push for that i pro-
bably via constitutional amend-
ment) is expected to Ih- made in
the next legislative session which
starts next month.
