The Ozarks group, meeting in conjunction with the National Gov ernors’ Conference, is made up of Oklahoma, Louisiana, Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas. Oklahoma Gov. George Nigh fa vored prompt action to get Texas into the group but the governors of Kansas and Arkansas were more cautious. Missouri Gov. Joseph P. Teasdale who chairs the commission and Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards were absent. Nigh, whose state shares a border with Texas, said the Ozarks Re gional Commission set up by Con gress would probably have more fi nancial clout if Texas is added. “The way national politics is going, it would be an advantage getting funds to have some Texans. They have a pretty big influence in Washington.” j\ign also argued it would De helpful in luring tourists — par- ticuarly from overseas — to states in the Ozarks region. “It’s pretty hard to advertise tel ling people to spend two weeks in Vets converge to curb rabies tack s Boston millions le about me. nts since h of July 54 yean al slaying vy, was i, a re- i began tnesses Florida 1 times would liss inchers a., for a ’s Auto Police ed the nd that lice re- -ucking ;pokes- inchers lot, he onday, rm and United Press International EAGLE PASS, Texas — A team |)f state veterinarians converged uesday for a roundup and vaccina- ion of dogs and cats in an attempt to urtail an outbreak of rabies that has ailed two children along the Mexico wrder.

I don’t see how I could favor it.” condition from a confirmed case. Bilderback said the state would furnish five or six veterinarians in the Eagle Pass vaccination drive to be supervised by Dr. Williamk D. Nettles, the regional Zoonosis Con trol Director from Uvalde. “We’ll only be there to give a hand with the vaccinations,” Bil derback said. He said local authorities would be in charge of rounding up the animals in a door-to-door, block-by-block in spection.

John Carlin said he wants to make sure if Texas joins the commission, member states don’t lose federal funds. “We should not split the same pie six ways in stead of five,” he said. “If this goes through there should be a bigger appropriation from Congress to take care of Texas. ” Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton said he is concerned Texas might in some way be eyeing his state’s ample water supply. “I think we should tell Texas we are interested in having them join,” Clinton said, “but that we want to work out specific concerns before we issue a formal invitation. We should tell them there are financial and other matters we want to get an understanding on, which I’m sure we will get.” Gary Vassmore, representing Teasdale, said he has contacted an aide to Texas Gov. William P. Cle ments Jr. “I understand Gov. Cle ments is very interested in the idea, and I know Gov. Teasdale is very enthusiastic.” The Ozarks Regional Commis sion, like other such commissions set up by Congress, works on prob lems common to states. .we ...a .
