Texas Press Association
By Vcrn Sanford
Austin Even in a water-
minded legislature passage of a
statewide conservation program
apparently faces some rough j
sailing. j
First hitch came when tho
House conservation jcommittep
votcil to hold the $100000000
Texas Water Development Fund
measure for 14 days study.
Senate Water Committee had
given it unanimous recommen-
dation in less than an hour and
41 half.
Rep. Leroy Saul of Krcs3
House sponsor was sharply
critical of the delay. He said it
could be "fatal."
Rep. A. R. Schwartz of Gal-
veston author of the delaying
motion said he thought a $100-
000.000 fund .required soma
safeguards on investments.
As now proposed the deve-
lopment could later be increas-
ed to $200000000 by a two-
thirds vote of the Legislature.
Another $100000000 bond pro-
posal to buy water storage in
federal reservoirs could likewise
he doubled. It means a poten-
tion of $400000000 under the
two plans.
As designed by its sponsors
the development fund would be
self-financing even show a long
range profit. They anticipate
tho state would receive more in-
terest on tho bonds it buys from
cities than it has to pay on tho
bonds it sells.
But some legislators have
pointed out that if a deficit
should develop it would drain
money from the General Fund
straining the state's tax sources.
Two Revenue Bills
Despite the Legislature's
early "wait and see" attitude
on new taxes two plans for now
revenues have been introduced.
Rep. Jerry Sadler of Percilla
proposed a "manufacturing tax"
with an estimated yield of $52-
000000 a year. It would levy
one-eighth of one per cent o
gross receipts of manufactur-l
ing over $25000 a year includ-
ing goods brought into Texas.
Two bills were introduced for
higher tuition at state colleges.

Issue of Texas oil production1
has drawn national and interna-
tional attention with pressures
for large allowables to meet
West European shortages caus-
ed by the Suez blockade.
Major oil companies have
favored increases. Independents
have not. They content majors
have an "unfair advantage" in
being able to market oil by
pipeline rather than truck.
They hope the current de-
mand can be used to force ma-
jors to furnish pipelines to
some 8000 unconnected wella
