Leaders take oaths
in inaugural events
AUSTIN (AP) — Gov. Dolph
Briscoe and Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby,
divergent symbols of Texas prosper
ity in hard times, were sworn in
Tuesday for four years.
Not since the early 1870s has a
Texas governor served a four-year
term, but the voters lifted that con
stitutional prohibition in 1972.
Briscoe, 51, a multimillionaire
Uvalde rancher, a businessman in
cowboy boots, promised in his
South Texas twang that he will
propose a legislative program that
“will touch the lives of all Texans. ”
Squinting into a bright sun in a
cloudless blue sky, Briscoe told a
chilled crowd of 2,000 on the
Capitol lawn that his proposals “will
face up to the pressing problems of
our times” and “will help to set our
priorities for years to come.”
“The leadership of Texas does
have within its power a way to
create a greater opportunity and
better jobs for Texans, better
schools for our children, greater
safety and security for our families,
and a better way of life for every
citizen, the governor said in his
10-minute address.
He said Texans “need—and in my _
judgment overwhelming want—” a
commission to regulate utilities.
Hobby also said he hoped the legis
lature would curb the “ancient evil”
of invasion of privacy.
As satisfying as the “people-
oriented legislation” of the past two
years, said Hobby, is a new budget
system which is being used “to ad
dress the monumental task of writ
ing a two-year budget in a period of
unparalleled inflation.”
Chief Justice Joe Greenhill of the
Texas Supreme Court administered
the oaths of office as the crowd shi
vered in 57-degree weather, made
colder by winds gusting up to 22
miles an hour.
Most of the guests had no more
protection than if they had been sea
ted on a landing strip as the wind
whipped around the Capitol, pop
ping the flags and red-and-white
bunting draped on the main entr
ance and inaugural platform.
Mrs. Lyndon Johnson, widow of
the late president, and others joined
the Briscoe and Hobby families on
the inaugural stand.
In the crowd were Coke Steven
son, governor from 1941 to 1947,
and Allan Shivers, the chief execu
tive in 1949-57, but Shivers de
serted his outdoor seat prior to
Briscoe’s speech.
Stevenson, 85, supported himself
with a cane as he made the rounds of
the Capitol, greeting people.
Indicative of the rather hohum at
titude many have toward the inau
gural ceremonies was the fact that
the basement lunch room was
packed with diners as if nothing was
happening outside.
Briscoe, Hobby and their families
lined up next to a bust of Lyndon
Johnson to shake hands with visitors
in the Capitol rotunda after the in
augural. But all the hands had been
shaken by 2 p. m., an hour earlier
than anticipated, and the first
families left.
Capping inaugural day, as austere
as any since Korean War days, was a
reception for legislators at a down
town hote. Sen. Tati Santiesteban,
D-El Paso, and his wife were host
and hostess for the 3 p. m. to 6 p. m.
affair.
Hobby, 43, an urbane Houston
newspaper executive, the son of a
former governor, read from a
speech that he had written himself.
It stretched a minute longer than
Briscoe’s, even though Hobby omit
ted two pages, including recom
mendations for achieving “greater
equity in taxation.”
By cutting his speech short.
Hobby, who preceded the gover
nor, allowed all of Briscoe’s com
ments to be carried on a special
30-minute local telecast.
It is the second term for both,
who won easy re-election victories
in November. Briscoe’s salary is
$63,000 a year, while Hobby, with
assets of over $3 million, makes
$4,800—the same as a house
member or senator.
Hobby said four “human rights”
issues “will dominate the next two
years—the rights of citizens under
our state constitution: the right of a
citiz Jgg & protection from franch
ised utility monopolies; the right of
each citizen to have equal access to
education and to bh taxed more
fairly; and the right of a citizen to be
left alone.

coming and file a
correct income tax
return in January or
early February, you
should get the refund
in four or five weeks.

Scientist says
fuel running low
A TAMU geoscientist contends
that U. S. natural-gas resources are
just about gone.
Dean of Geosciences Earl Cook,
in a speech Thursday entitled
“There’s No Fuel Like a Fossil
Fuel,” said corporations are invest
ing large amounts of capital to im
port liquefied natural gas and to
manufacture substitute gas from
coal at costs 5-6 times the present
price of interstate gas.
“The cost of natural-gas exhaus
tion will be felt not only in munici
pal and industrial conversion to
other fuels but in the cost of food,
because nitrogen fertilizer is now
made almost entirely from natural-
gas feedstock,” Cook explained.
“Also, the amount of time remain
ing during which domestic crude oil
will be a major part of our energy
base almost surely does not exceed
25 years, and the time remaining on
the world scale probably is about 50
years,” he said.
“These figures set the time scale
for the development and economic
emplacement of substitute energy
systems,” Cook pointed out.
“It is naive to expect countries
which have oil to export, including
Canada, to relax their attempts to
capture a large share of the profits of
that oil and to protect the future of
their own people,” he went on.
“Consequently, we probably
shall continue to pay high prices for
foreign oil and gas and be forced
sooner or later to the economic ex
pense of substitute systems based
on domestic resources such as coal
or to the social expense of doing
without,” Cook said.
He said, “Fortunately, we do
have the capacity to develop substi
tutes. The U. S. has great coal and
oil shale deposits, and in addition,
large, low-grade uranium deposits.
Coal is the cheapest of these re
sources and offers the greatest range
of conversion alternatives. It can be
converted to a gas, a liquid, or to
electricity. The gas can be low,
medium, or high quality. The liquid
can be methanol, ethanol, or a fluid
resembling crude oil, (methanol is
currently being eyed as a substitute
for gasoline). The cost of the product
probably will be about the same as
imported liquefied natural gas.”
