Graduate Dean Wayne €. Hall To Serve As NRC Adviser
By VERN SANFORD
Texas Press Association
AUSTIN, Tex. — Your Capitol
is bursting with life on the eve
of the most significant political
and governmental events — the
June 1 runoff election, the June
4 beginning of a special session
of the Legislature, and the June
11 conventions of State Demo
cratic and Republican parties.
Although there are 15 runoffs
in Legislative races to be decided
Saturday, the main bout, of
course, is that between Lt. Gov.
Preston Smith and Houston At
torney Don Yarborough.
Probably no more than a mil
lion voters will decide whether
moderate-conservative Smith or
liberal Yarborough will be the
Democratic nominee for gover
nor.
Each is reaching for the other’s
voter potential. Smith boasts of
his 18 years' governmental ex
perience; Yarborough, without
governmental experience, urges
his own “fresh approach” and
“constructive programs,’ includ
ing lower auto insurance rates
and consumer protection.
Even name identification —
usually considered the wellspring
of political success — won’t be
the deciding factor between these
two. Both men have been in
statewide races nearly a decade
and are well-known names on the
ballot.
Incidentally, the winner may
find surprisingly tough opposi
tion in November from Republi
can nominee Paul E g g e r s of
Wichita Falls.
Regardless of whether Smith,
Yarborough — or Eggers — is
the next governor, the battlewise
Democratic legislative presiding
officers, Lt. Gov.-nominee Ben
Bames in the Senate and Speak-
er-to-be Gus Mutscher of Bren-
ham in the House, will be power
ful figures to be reckoned with.
Barnes admittedly aspires to
higher office and Mutscher re
portedly is interested in a long
tenure in the House.
LEGISLATIVE RACES
There are few district races on
the June 1 ballot and no other
statewide contests. However as
far as professional politicos go,
the legislative races are very sig
nificant — especially where in
cumbents are concerned. This
because “lame ducks” often vote
differently from those re-elected.
Many eyes will be on the races
between Sen. Bruce Reagan and
Rep. Ronald Bridges of Corpus
Christi, for the State Senate seat
for that area: Rep. John E.

Blaine versus Ramon Ramos of
El Paso; Rep. J. E. Miller of
Burkeville versus Don Adams;
Rep. Bob Hendricks versus for
mer Rep. Bill Dungan of McKin
ney.
Other runoffs involve top vote
getters in local races where in
cumbents lost altogether or were
not running for re-election.
LIQUOR
LEGISLATION DUE
Gov. John Connally’s June 4
special session of the Legislature
almost certainly will come to
grips with important liquor legis
lation, probably including a
mixed-drinks bill.
A House study committee’s re
port on how to improve present
statutes has been promised be
fore the special session begins.
Rep. R. H. Cory of Victoria,
chairman of the panel, and House
Speaker Ben Barnes, have indi
cated the report will contain ma
jor, controversial recommenda
tions.
Results of the investigation
made by Atty. Gen. Crawford
Martin — and his recommenda
tions — also are due by June 4.
Connally has strongly indicat
ed he will urge lawmakers to
come up with a mixed-drinks bill
as a part of his tax program.
Observers believe that, instead
of a straight booze-over-the-bar
measure, he will ask for legisla
tion permitting the sale of liquor
in small, one-drink-sized bottles
on a local option basis. This
would mean that, if the bill
passes, Texans still will have to
mix their own but at least they
won’t have to bring their own
bottles.
STATE CONVENTIONS
Every even - numbered year
state political parties hold two
conventions. In presidential elec
tion years the June convention,
customarily, is called “the presi
dential convention,” and the Sep
tember convention is known as
“the governor’s convention.”
This year since the big issue in
the State Democratic convention
in Dallas on June 11 will be
whether Governor Connally is
picked as the “favorite son,” both
Democratic party conventions
will be “governor’s conventions.”
If Connally is chosen as “favor
ite son”, the first vote of the
Texas delegation at the national
convention in Chicago will go to
Connally, the second to whom
ever he likes of the major candi
dates — probably Hubert Hum
phrey.
Republicans, who will hold
their convention in Corpus
Christi on June 11, doubtlessly
will pick U. S. Sen. John Tower
as their “favorite son.” State
GOP Chairman Peter O’Donnell
of Dallas, and other southern
GOP chairmen, met in New Or
leans with hopefuls Gov. Ronald
Reagan and Gov. Nelson Rocke
feller. But O’Donnell is not ex
pected to talk about a second-
ballot alternative to Senator
Tower until he has conferred
with Richard Nixon, and consid
ered results of talks with all
three.
PORNOGRAPHY
WAR MAPPED
Attorney General Martin has
mapped a drive against “lewd”
movies and pornographic litera
ture.
His office has received fre
quent complaints about circula
tion of obscenity, so he will ask
the Legislature to tighten its
control laws.
Specifically, Martin said he will
ask for repeal of a portion of the
penal code which exempts from
control foreign films and movies
that are in interstate commerce.
Many of the complaints he re
ceives concern pornography orig
inating in Mexico and other for
eign countries.
Martin also will seek legisla
tion to include the attorney gen
eral among those granted au
thority to enforce the law by
civil injunction. He criticized
U.S. Supreme Court decisions as
having “torn down virtually all
standards in judging porno
graphic materials.’
SALES TAX
Board members of the Texas
Municipal League will meet at
El Paso on June 6. They are ex
pected to discuss Governor Con-
nallys plan to abolish the city
sales tax.
Connally’s plan would raise the
state sales tax from two to three
per cent and funnel part of this
money back to incorporated
cities.
There is a difference of opinion
among legal experts on the con
stitutionality of such a plan.
Texas’ Constitution may forbid
the state from giving money to
municipalities when there is no
return to the State. Governor’s
advisors apparently feel the
courts would be hesitant to deny
funds to the state and cities with
both in dire need.
Still, the sales tax change is
quite likely to be sent to the
Legislature when it convenes in
special session next Tuesday.
ATTORNEY GENERAL
RULES
School districts are not author
ized to issue time warrants for
the purpose of purchasing unim
proved land only. So held At
torney General Martin in a re
cent opinion. However, he stated
that warrants can be issued to
purchase school buildings and
equipment.
State officials may be reim
bursed by the government for
expenses incurred in delivery of
veterans land bonds to out-of-
state banks, said Martin in an
other opinion.
Dr. Wayne C. Hgll, Texas A&M
graduate dean and academic vice
president, has requested a leave
of absence to accept an appoint
ment by the National Research
Council, announced A&M Presi
dent Earl Rudder.
Hall, member of the Texas
A&M faculty since 1949, will
serve as director of fellowships
and adviser for new programs in
the NRC Office of Scientific Per
sonnel in Washington, beginning
Sept. 1.
He will be responsible for eval
uating applications in National
Science Foundation graduate,
postdoctoral and senior postdoc
toral fellowship programs, as
well as for the NATO postdoc
toral fellowship and NRC post
doctoral research programs.
Hall’s position as adviser for
new programs will involve con
sultation with various Office of
Scientific Personnel committees
and staff members on matters of
fellowship support and related
topics.
He joined the A&M faculty as
assistant professor of plant
physiology, was promoted to pro
fessor in 1954, department head
in 1958 and graduate dean
1960. He also was appoin
