DAVID STOKER * EDITOR Joe Steen, Dean Hord, Ernesto Uribe, John Wayne Clark....Staff Writers Francis Nivers Photographer Russell Brown Sports Correspondent By VERN SANFORD Texas Press Association AUSTIN, Texas — Texas’ 56th Legislature fizzled to the end of its third session and 180th day with its main job -— providing money to run state government— still undone. Gov. Price Daniel called a fourth session to begin just hours after the last one ended. House members repeatedly voted down tax bills presented by joint conference committees of senators and representatives. Sefiate voted favorably each time. First House rejection was by a vote of 81-to-64. This was on a bill to tax tobacco, natural gas production, corporation franchises, utilities, motor vehicles, liquor, wine, boats, motors, airplanes, radios, TVs, phonographs, cam eras and liquor by the drink in private clubs. Speaker Waggoner Carr named a new House conference group composed of members who had voted against the bill. They met with the same Senate conferees that had worked twice before. Only change in the new report was that the private club tax was cut out and the radio and TV tax slightly increased. House rejected it again, this time 83 to 66. More conferences and more votes followed in the final frantic hours. AH futile! None made any apparent progress toward compro mising the basic bone of contem tion, whether to tax gas pipelines. House favors this “severance beneficiary” tax by a narrow mar gin. Senate is flatly against. Along with his new call, Gover nor Daniel issued a sober warning. Unless a tax bill is passed and ef fective (requiring a two-thirds favorable vote) by Aug. 15, there won’t be time or money to get Sept. 1 checks to 225,000 old age pensioners.

Campus Cleaners £}(/ Ver* SortforcL the wind-up of the last session, Speaker Waggoner Carr was, for a time, the target for pent-up frus trations and pressure. Carr had worked to get the House to accept the Senate-passed tax bill. When the House turned the bill down, Carr said that “ob structionists” had defeated it. This was a red flag to members already sensitive to public criti cism of a “do-nothing” Legisla ture. For several days they sim mered. They accused Carr of try ing to thwart the will of a House majority, talked of voting him out of the speakership. In a dramatic showdown, Carr stepped down from the rostrum and challenged his critics to re move him if they thought it would make things any better. Nobody accepted his dare. A few minutes later, on motion of Rep. Joe Burkett, the man Carr defeated for the speakership, Carr was escorted back to the speaker’s chair. And the weary legislative battle began again. Student Fee Bill Okeyed—A bill to require state college students to pay an activity fee passed both houses by very narrow margin.
