Rowe was in College Station Tuesday for a campaign talk with members of the local media. Rowe was a Democrat until the 1972 national convention, after which he said he could no longer support the party. He emphasizes his conservative nature and boasts of his military background. The native Texan and West Point graduate has traveled and written extensively since his escape in 1968 from a Viet Cong prison camp. Rowe was assigned to the Defense Intelligence Agency until his re tirement in February. “I believe the office of comptrol ler must eventually become an ap pointed professional position.” Rowe said.

He mentioned that Hubbard cre dited Briscoe last week with the es timated $900 million surplus in the state’s general revenue fund at the close of the current fiscal year, Aug. 31, 1975. “This is ridiculous. The surplus comes mostly as a result of tax re venue windfalls in an inflationary spiral, bolstered by federal revenue-sharing funds. ” 1 Peniston 1 V Cafeteria J ^ I STOW BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE.
