Texas legislators debate
conflict-of-interest measure
AUSTIN (A*)—Lawmaking took
a back seat Tuesday while Texas
legislators argued over what they
called a “crisis in confidence” in
state government.
House members scheduled a
super public hearing Thursday
on the session’s major aims but
most talk over the conflict of
interest claims is stirred up by
a federal stock fraud case.
Twenty legislators—18 repre
sentatives and two senators—
agreed late Tuesday to make
voluntary financial disclosure
statements and urged the remain
ing 161 lawmakers to do the
“I agree that it will eliminate the fuss for 50-yard line
tickets, but ...”
“We are trying to restore pub
lic confidence,” said Rep. Jim
Earthman, Houston Republican.
“This is the worst scandal that
ever hit this state.”
A statement from Earthman
and 19 Democrats said “the in
tegrity of the entire state gov
ernment is being questioned.
Seldom has outrage been so gen
erally and so vehemently ex
pressed.”
Meanwhile, Rep. Curtis Graves,
Houston, who also was one of
signers of the disclosure state
ment, had second thoughts about
pushing a resolution Wednesday
that would remove Speaker Gus
Mutscher until the federal stock
fraud case is over.

Graves said, “but I want to see

Graves’ resolution also would
temporarily remove Reps. W. S.
Heatly, chairman of the Appro
priations Committee, and Tommy
Shannon, House Administration
Committee chairman. Both, along
with Mutscher, have said they
profited from insurance stock
sales which are being questioned
by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
But an attempt to debate a
“conflict of interest” resolution
Tuesday in the Senate died
quickly. Senators voted 16-13 to
send the measure to a committee
for study before allowing floor
debate.
“I hate to vote for anything as
silly as this without reading it,”
said Sen. William Moore, Bryan,
of the resolution by Sen. Mike
McKool, Dallas. McKool asked
an immediate vote. The resolu
tion would have the Senate say
it will not confirm any guber
natorial appointees to any state
regulatory agency when a person
has “either an open or obvious
conflict of interest” or “shall be
deemed unable or incapable of
maintaining integrity or objec
tivity in fulfilling their duties.”
Sen. H. J. Blanchard, Lubbock,
a veteran of past Senate fili
busters, promised there would be
“considerable delay” if the Senate
attempte dto vote Tuesday on
McKool’s proposal.
The House Constitutional
amendments committee laid out
a full afternoon and night work
schedule Thursday with a public
hearing for five of the legisla
ture’s most important issues—all
requiring a final vote by Texans
to change the constitution.
One change, already approved
by the Senate, would lift the $80
million ceiling on state welfare
payments. Another would b« the
governor’s proposal to issue $450
million in “free public school
bonds” to be paid off by the oil
and gas lease income from public
school lands. A third proposal
would set up a 15-member state
ethics commission that would also
make recommendations on legis
lators’ pay.
Still another measure would
increase the Senate from 31 to 39
members to keep some rural sena
tors from being left out in the
cold by redistricting based on
1970 census figures.
In both houses, senators and
representatives continued the
surge of new bills and proposi
tions in preparation for the com
mittee hearings just now getting
underway.
Sen. Charles Wilson, Lufkin,
introduced a plan to split the
three-member parks and wildlife
commission into a six-member
parks department and a nine-
member wildlife department. A
similar measure has been filed in
the Hquse.
