Preston Smith said Wednesday the con viction of House Speaker Gus Mutscher was in reality an “in dictment of most all of those serving in Austin.” But, Smith said, government officials seeking re-election still have time to “let people know” how they feel about various is sues. “I think the jury in the Mut scher trial did what it thought best,” Smith said at a news con ference. But Smith said he feels it was “amazing” that the prose cutor in the Mutscher trial, Trav is County Dist. Atty. Bob Smith, called the governor a “co-con spirator.” Mutscher, Rep. Tommy Shan non and Mutscher aide Rush Mc- Ginty were convicted early last week of bribery conspiracy in the Texas stock scandals and as sessed 5-year probated sentences. Smith said he believes there was nothing devious about Mut- scher’s avoidance of the word “resignation” when he announced Tuesday he is stepping aside as House speaker because he can no longer effectively discharge his duties. “I think he (Mutscher) was sincere in his statement,” Smith said. “He’s being realistic. I ex pect him to resign before the special session, or at least very soon after it is called.” Smith continued to dodge ques tions about a special session of the legislature, saying repeat edly, “We are not in a position to announce it at this time. We will have to have one, though.” Smith said he is not yet con vinced there is a “crisis or emer gency” requiring a special ses sion. “Maybe I’ll think so to morrow,” he said. be Vaughn elected Black Awareness Committee head Wayne DeVaughn was elected as new chairman of the Black Awareness Committee in the March 15 meeting.

Texas Member Student Discount Program The governor said Texas will not lose some $24 million in fed eral highway funds unless the legislature acts before March 31. The Dallas City Council has urged the governor to call a spe cial session soon in order to safe guard the federal revenues. “I don’t know where the city council gets their deadline. Sure ly if we were in danger of losing this money Mr. John Volpe (sec retary of transportation) would have let me know. We’re not go ing to lose that money,” he said. Smith’s announced purpose for the news conference was to voice his opposition to increasing fed eral intervention into state af fairs, “particularly the busing” but he admitted there is little if anything he can do to stop it. “My greatest concern is the manner in which the federal courts have taken over the du ties and responsibilities of state government, particularly the bus ing,” Smith said. “The Presi dent and Vice President are op posed to it and I don’t under stand why we have it. I don’t think racial balance in schools has anything to do with a good education.” Smith said continued abolition of state authority in many fields — welfare and voting laws — has made it “difficult to conduct the state’s business.” “Our welfare system is cha otic. We Texans spend $260 mil lion a year on welfare,” he said. Smith said he would like for the federal government to take full control of welfare and use its own guidelines. “The government has pre empted our doing anything,” he said. Smith said he will support the Democratic nominee for presi dent and said Alabama Gov. George Wallace’s stand on bus ing and state’s rights is much in accord with his own feelings. “I’ve never been for busing,” Smith repeated. The governor said his private polls show him with 40 per cent of voter support with Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes second. Asked if he thinks a woman would make a good governor, Smith chuckled and said: “Mrs. Ma Ferguson did all right.” Smith said his polls show Rep. Frances Farenthold of Corpus Christi in fourth place but “com ing up fast.” He said she is drawing support away from Barnes and Uvalde rancher-banker D o 1 p h Briscoe who, he said, his polls show in third place.
