Connally Says State Jobs
To Increase In Complexity
By JACK KEEVER
AUSTIN <A>) _ Gov. 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.”
