Texas primary bill gets initial approval

THE BAHAI
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY27,
AUSTIN, Tex. (AP) — A bill es
tablishing Texas’ first presidential
primary and tailored to help Sen.
Lloyd Bentsen’s campaign for chief
executive won tentative House ap
proval Wednesday, 89-57.
The measure comes to a final
House vote Thursday and would
then go to the Senate.
Rep. Tom Schieffer, D-Fort
Worth, the sponsor, had help from
Speaker Bill Clayton and possibly
from governor s aides in switching
more than enough votes to restore
— in slightly diluted form — a
“winner-take-all feature that was
pulled out Tuesday.
“I’ll deny any arm twisting,’’
Schieffer later told reporters.
The bill sets out a mechanism for
choosing the Texas delegations to
national political party presidential
nominating conventions.
On the primary ballot will be
slates of delegates chosen for each
state senatorial or congressional dis
trict on behalf of various presiden
tial candidates who have paid a
$1,000 filing fee. The candidates’
names will appear only in parenth
eses following names of proposed
delegates pledged to them. If a dis
trict, say, is entitled to four dele
gates, then the four top vote-getters

on the ballot will be elected to at
tend the national convention.
At least 75 per cent of the Texas
delegation would be chosen that
way. The remainder would be
selected by a party’s state conven
tion.
That system of delegate selection
was labeled “winner-take-all’ by
opponents — a coalition of conser
vative and liberal Democrats and
backers of Alabama Gov. George
Wallace.
They succeeded Tuesday, 75-68,
in replacing it with an amendment
under which the state party conven
tion would give each presidential
candidate a share of the Texas de
legation proportionate to his popu
lar vote in the primary.
But since Tuesday afternoon,
enough votes switched to restore
“winner-take-all,” which presuma
bly would give Bentsen close to the
entire Texas delegation to the
Democratic convention.
The crucial vote was 80-66 against
tabling Schieffer’s substitute, which
he called a “compromise.”
Changing sides on that key deci
sion were Reps. Mel Chavez,
D-Harlingen; A. C. Garcia,
D-Pharr; Bob Hendricks,
D-McKinney; Al Korioth, R-Dallas;
Greg Montoya, D-Elsa; Wayne
Peveto, D-Orange; Richard
Reynolds, R-Richardson; Chris
Semos, D-Dallas; W. C. Sherman,
D-Fort Worth; Ruben Torres,
D-Port Isabel; and John Whitmire,
D-Houston.
Schieffer, brother of CBS televi
sion newsman Bob Schieffer, de
nied that selection of district dele
gates would be on a “winner-take-
all” basis, similar to the unit rule
that has been outlawed in Democra
tic Party affairs.
“It is possible, it is probable, it is
going to happen that you elect dele
gates pledged to different presiden
tial candidates out of the same dis
tricts,” he said.
Just who those delegates, chosen
by a presidential candidate’s district
committee, might be concerned
some representatives.
Rep. G. J. Sutton, D-San An
tonio, a black, declared that he fa
vored Schieffer’s bill because it
“gives black people more represen
tation. It enables black people to
speak for themselves rather than
have other people speak for them as
they have through the years under
the old convention system.”
But Rep. Mickey Leland,
D-Houston, replied, “It would
allow highly visible black people to
participate — those who speak for
Sen. Bentsen would be allowed to
speak for black people.
Rep. Neil Caldwell, D-Angleton,
said the people were being denied a
sense of participation by not getting
to vote directly on a candidate.
“The people think that all too
often games are played with them.
On this issue, it will be interpreted
as one more game, one more gain
for the powerful,” he said.
Rep. John Wilson, D-LaGrange,
said he was tired of the “anarchy of
state Democratic conventions since
the party began trying to divide de
legations according to presidential
preference. He said the system
proposed by Schiefter’s bill is simi
lar to that of California, Pennsyl
vania, Florida, New York and Ohio.
“In every place that Mr. Wilson
mentioned a primary, it turned out
bad, it turned out winner-take-all
and nominated an extremist at one
endoftheparty,” said Rep. Joe Pen-
tony, D-Houston.
Rep. Jim Mattox, D-Dallas,
warned of a delegate challenge and
bad publicity that might harm,
rather than help, Bentsen’s candi
dacy.
“I’m telling you, you are being
watched. When you vote for this,
there are going to be national head
lines about the Texas Legislature
going back to John Connally-type
politics, Mattox said.

HOLLYWOOD, Fla, (AP) —
President Ford signaled a willing
ness Wednesday to accept a tax cut
larger than the $16.5-billion reduc
tion he has proposed, and he pres
sured Congress to act quickly on the
economic stimulant.
The indication came in a wide-
ranging news conference as Ford
wrapped up two days of public ap
pearances in Florida designed to
promote his economic and energy
proposals.
The President stopped short o(
saying flatly he was ready to go
beyond the tax cut he proposed. But
he said, “I simply would hope that
the Congress would act so we could
find out whether that is enough
stimulant ...”
The House Ways and Means
Committee has approved a
$21.28-billion tax cut bill.
Ford’s news conference, one of a
series he is holding across the coun
try in his campaign to enlist support
for his proposals, brought these
firms. “Such discrimination is to
tally contrary to the American tradi
tion and repugnant to American
principles, he declared.
- The situation in Cambodia is
“extremely critical” and the Cam
bodian army will soon run out of
ammunition unless there is addi
tional U.S. military aid, Ford said.
But he added that if the Lon Nol
government can survive for several
months “there is a possibility of
negotiations that might end the war
- He defended U.S. arms sales,
terming them necessary to maintain
proper military balance in many
areas of the world.
- “. . . I think if people in a coun
try want to fight for freedom for
their country, to the degree that we
can, I think we ought to expand
freedom around the world, ’ Ford
said.
Many of the news conference
questions centered on the
economy, and Ford used the occa
sion to prod Congress again for ac
tion on his tax cut plan as well as his
energy proposals.
“I am perplexed ... I don’t un
derstand” why Congress is moving
so slowly, the President said, ad
ding that I intend to keep the pres
sure on.
He said it could be June before
action is completed on a tax cut.
In addition to signaling a willing
ness to accept a larger tax cut than
he has proposed, Ford again indi
cated he is ready to work out a com
promise energy program with the
Demoeratic-controlled Congress.
“What we need is a plan that the
Democrats can agree on . . . and
then we can sit down and, hope
fully, negotiate,” he said.
“I am willing to cooperate, but we
have to have something to cooper
ate with ..."
On another issue r the President
said the recently convicted Water
gate cover-up defendants-af/ advis
ers to resigned President Richard
Nixon — would have to follow “the
regular procedure or process ’ if
they seek presidential pardons. But
Ford refused to discuss the convic
tions.

317 N. College Ave.
AUSTIN, Tex. (AP) — A Texas
labor leader told a House commit
tee Wednesday that to create a state
agency to overlook occupational
safety would be a waste of taxpayers’
money.
Harry Hubbard, president of the
Texas AFL-CIO, told the State Af
fairs Committee that the federal
Occupational Safety and Health Act
of 1970 already adequately covers
Texas workers.
A bill by Rep. Richard Geiger,
D-Dallas, would create a Division of
Occupational Safety in the State
Department of Health.
Geiger said his measure would
allow the state of Texas to assume
enforceability of occupational safety
in Texas.
Hubbard said federal law re
quires the U.S. Dept, of Labor to
monitor any state agency to insure
that federal job safety and health
standards are being followed.
House Bill 510 would put the
state Occupational Safety Division
in the business of enforcing the fed
eral law — pure and simple,” Hub
bard said.
