AUSTIN <A>) _ The Senate Finance Subcommittee approved today a one-year spending bill calling for $436 million from the general revenue fund, which could mean a tax increase of $11 million during the next fiscal year. Sen. A. M. Aikin Jr. of Paris, chairman of the Finance Commit tee, said he would ask full com mittee approval of the Senate bill Thursday. LT. GOV. PRESTON Smith, meeting with the subcommittee and newsmen in his office just prior to the start of the Senate session, said he would ask the Senate to consider both the one- year bill and a two-year appropri ation measure, which has been on the Senate calendar for more than a month. It called for spending $846.8 million from general revenue. “I want the Senate to make a choice which they favor,” Smith said. AFTER THE Senate Finance Committee had approved the two- year appropriation bill, Gov. John Connally asked the legislature to provide funds for running state government for only one year. He said he would call the leg islature back in special session next year to find money for the second year of the biennium. Included in the one-year bill is some $12 million for salary in creases for state employes. ning Department of the Domini can Secretary of Agriculture, Gonzalez also is coordinator of training programs for the secre tary of agriculture. The depart ment also is responsible for on going programs, Beach com mented. Dr. Jarvis Miller, chief of A&M’s party for contract opera tions in the Dominican Republic, said Gonzalez’ office prepares agricultural development plans and coordinates activities of all agencies in the agricultural sec tor, including credit, water re sources, cooperative promotion and agrarian reform. Dr. Miller said a major problem of the department is lack of trained personnel. He noted that A&M’s goal will provide 100 bachelor of science trained agri cultural scientists and workers. Thirty-seven Dominican stu dents are completing their first year of study at A&M, Miller pointed out. Carlos Aquino is Dominican coordinator for the students.
