House Okays Connally Study On Education AUSTIN GP> — The House tenta tively approved 129-10 today Gov. John Connally’s request to set up a committee to study higher edu cation needs in Texas. The bill gets a final vote Tues day. The senate has already approved such a measure. Early in the session, the legis lature gave Connally $50,000 emergency money to finance the education committee between now and Aug. 31. The bill would create a 25-mem ber committee to make a compre hensive study of Texas’ education needs beyond the high school level. It would be required to finish its work by Aug. 31, 1964. The major Senate action Mon day was refusal to debate the controversial question of making San Angelo Junior College a four- year state supported school. Sen. Dorsey Hardeman of San Angelo failed by an 18-11 vote to get the necessary two-thirds support to bring the hill up for consideration out of order. Three other measures to es tablish new state senior colleges in Odessa, Laredo and Edinburg also are on the Senate and House calendars. Both houses defeated proposed amendments to take away some of Connally’s power to appoint the entire 25 members of the com mittee.

Beer is present ly being sold at six establishments in the area. Should Thursdayjs canvass sup port Saturday’s outcome, liquor and wine sales could begin March 20. Precinct 9’s election was called after 49 voters signed a petition requesting it.
