John Con nally, on the brink of being a pri vate citizen, gave a capsule course in state government to Texas agency heads Tuesday, predicting their jobs will get bigger and harder as the years go by. Two weeks from the day Con nally will leave office, he told the administrators: “The years ahead are exciting years, chal lenging years. It is no longer suf ficient to live from day-to-day and just try to solve the state’s problems that way. “THE WORLD we live in is too complex and is changing too rap idly. The problems today were not even to be remembered two or three years ago. When I entered Pitt Prof Sets Geology Lecture Dr. Edward G. Lidiak, associ ate professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh, will present a lecture at 4:30 p.m. today in Room 105 of the Geology Building. Geology Department Head Dr. Robert R. Berg said Lidiak’s lec ture is entitled “Tholeitic and Calc - alkalic Volcanism in the Puerto Rican Orogen.” The igneous rocks which Lidiak will describe represents magmas derived from the oceanic crust and the deeper mantle, Berg noted. He pointed out the rocks are important to an understanding of the origin of oceanic areas of the earth, and to problems of continental drift and sea - floor spreading. Lidiak received his doctorate at Rice in 1963, and his publica tions include geophysical, petro logic and geochronologic studies of Precambrian rocks of the con tinental interior of the United States. office in 1963 there were approxi mately 45 federal programs. Now there are approximately 400.” The governor spoke off the cuff in his reception room, facing a semi-circle of administrators and Gov.-elect Preston Smith. “Almost every governor is de pendent on how well you do your job,” Connally said. HE TOLD the state officials, “Individually and collectively I think you have done a magnifi- cient job,” and Ihey, in turn, praised him for his leadership. But most of the time was spent on Connally’s opinion of the changing role of s^ate govern ment and the future of it. “There are so many programs that the people who really are supposed to benefit from them just cannot comprehend what pro grams there are, and they become confused and irritated,” he said. “Ahead are a great many prob lems.” One, he said, would be the dis tribution of $5 million or so in federal funds for work with the Criminal Justice Council. “THE TIDE of events won’t change,” Connally said. “There are going to be more and more demands on regional type plan ning, even statewide planning. We ought not to make the same mis take the federal government nas —but it’s a normal human trait to try to direct something when you’re giving the money for it.” Connally proposed block grants on the theory that the people who work with the money know best what to do with it, and he added that many Texas agencies “are almost wholly financed by federal funds.” HE SAID in the past agency heads had been too reluctant to come directly to the governor with problems, but that “in 9 of 10 times in a real crisis the gover nor is the first person you’re go ing to run to. The average person thinks the governor can solve anything, has to solve anything. “I’m in complete accord” with that statement, Smith said. Connally said the working re lations between agencies and state, local and federal govern ment “will have to be better than we even now have. There will be 1,000 instances when there will have to be an exchange between agencies to do the job.” HE ADVISED th“ administra tors “to get good people to work with so you can have a little time to get off and think. . . . “If there is one failing of gov ernment it is that it doesn’t anti cipate, doesn’t have the courage to anticipate, the problems of tne future.” Tonight On KBTX 6:00 News, Weather & Sports 6:30 Here Come the Brides 7:30 Good Guys 8:00 Beverly Hillbillies 8:30 Green Acres 9:00 Hawaii Five-O 10:00 News, Weather & Sports 10:30 Wednesday Night Movie Ride the Wild Surf” Gtibuwll (EJnSahjOn£Jt For Complete Insurance Service Dial 823-8231 Ray Criswell, Sr.; Ray Criswell, Jr. “Insure Well With Criswell” 2201 S.
