Jack Ogg, D-Houston, acknowledges there are not enough votes now to put the measure up for debate. Under Senate procedure a two- thirds majority is needed to debate a bill, even though approval of a majority of the 31 senators is suffi cient for passage. Sen. Ron Glower, D-Garland is chief spokesman for the opponents of the plan to allow conservative Democrats to vote in the Republi can primary without forfeiting their right to participate in the later Democratic Party primary elections for state and local offices. He says he has more than a majority of the Se nate committed to vote against the bill. “I’m really going to try to bring it up next week,” Ogg said. “But I’m not going to go with it if the votes aren’t there.” Ogg said the pressure from politi cal parties on the issues has been greater than he’s seen on any con troversy in nearly a dozen years in the Legislature. He predicts the bill will win sup port of 18 to 22 senators, while Glower insists he has 17 firm “no” votes and might pick up one or two more. “I had as many as 20 at one time — I have a core of 17 now and that includes three of the four Republi cans in the Senate,” Glower said. Lt. Gov. Hobby said he believes the House could act on the bill in as little as two weeks and indicated he is encouraged by recent reports that Clements may support the separate, early presidential primary. Clements has said he has not yet made up his mind and has indicated he wants to avoid taking sides in what is expected to be a heated bat tle between supporters of Reagan — who swept Texas’ 1976 presidential primary — and Connally, who served three terms as governor of Texas before switching to the GOP in 1973. Connally, according to conven tional political thought, would bene fit most from an early separate pri mary in which conservative Demo crats could vote on the GOP presi dential candidates without being barred from voting later on the Democratic nominees for state and local offices. Reagan, political experts say, would fare better in presidential voting conducted in conjunction with party elections for other offices in the 1976 Texas primary. Now you know United Press International John Wayne did not put his handprints in cement in the collec tion of movie star sidewalk memen toes outside the famous Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard — he made a print of his fist.
