AUSTIN (AP) — The first step
in Gov. Price Daniel’s plan to get
Texas’ finances even-steven before
starting a fight for new taxes
was studied Wednesday before the
House Kevenue and Taxation Com
mittee.
Defeat of the measure, either
by direct vote of parliamentary
procedure, would be a stunning
blow to administration hopes for
wiping out the estimated 65 mil
lion dollar deficit in the state’s
general revenue fund. Consider-
aole opposition to the bill has
been reported.
The proposal HB 53 by Rep.
James Hates of Edinburg has been
called an 18-million dollar “book
keeping transfer” by Daniel. It
would require the state comptrol
ler to make available to the gen
eral fund the state income usually
collected in Austin but not put on
tne books until the start of the
next fiscal year, Sept. 1, 1960.
Daniel’s other deficit erasing
devices include an act HB 32 by
Rep. Marshall Bell of San Antonio
to seize deposits and monies aban
doned in banks for at least seven
years, estimated to bring in 20 to
40 million dollars; a one-year in
crease in franchise taxes HB 238
by Rep. J. E. Winfree of Houston
to bring in about 14 million new
tax dollars, plus a new applica
tion of franchise tax laws that
would get another 15 million dol
lars from interstate corporations.
Members of the House tax
group have indicated they will not
act on the major tax producing
measuring until the appropria
tions committee decides just how
much the state should spend the
next two years.
Daniel has proposed four new
tax routes — natural gas, auto
sales, liquor and cigars. They in
clude a plan HB 43 by Rep. George
Hinson of Mineola for a new tax
of three per cent of value on
natural gas dedicated or contract
ed in advance of production, es
timated to yield almost 20 million
dollars in 1960 and more than 21
million in 1961.
The administration’s other three
revenue raising plans are in an
omnibus tax bill HB 14 by Rep.
Peter J. LaValle of Texas City.
A boost in motor vehicle sales tax
from 1.1 per cent to 1.8 per cent
would raise $12,900,000 a year; a
hike in liquor taxes from $1,408
to $2.50 per gallon would get
$9,100,000 a year, and a 20 per I
cent of value sales tax on cigars
and other tobacco, except snuff,
.vould raise seven million annual

HOUSTON <A>) _ An unem

Wednesday were charged with
selling their 8-year-old twin boys
for $500.
The boys, complete with a bill
of sale, were purchased with
marked money by a pair of juve
nile officers posing as a married
couple.
In jail under felony charges of
selling minor children are Clark
Dean Stillion, 24, and his tearful
wife, Rosemarie, also 24.
“We didn’t feel like we’ve done
anything wrong,” said Mrs. Stil-
iion. “We thought it was a legi
timate adoption procedure.”
“I was desperate,” Stillion told
reporters.
The boys, Thomas and George,
said they opposed the plan.
“We never wanted to leave our
Mommy,” Thomas said, “but Mom
my and Daddy said we had to,
that we would have a better life.”
Mrs. Stillion said the twins were
by a previous marriage. Stillion
said their two daughters, Nancy,
4, and Tina, 3, were not for sale.
Detective R. E. Brumley and
policewoman Lanny Dixon said
they made the arrests after they
made a $300 down payment with
marked money after a bill of sale
had been signed.
The Stillions said they met in
1954 while Stillion was serving
