Galbraith called Monday for a $5-a-gallon federal tax on gasoline to reduce consumption and cut oil im ports. “Gasoline prices at the pump should be raised by taxes to a penalty level,” he told the Joint Economic Committee. “One thinks of $4 or $5 a gallon, although even this is not as tonishing by European standards.” Under his plan gas stamps, similar to food stamps, could be given to each family “allowing a basic pur chase for household and pleasure driving at present prices, or at a level somewhat below.” Light turnout expected for electioig Texas Cars certifiably in use for car pools and business purposes would get a larger allocation, he said. Unused stamps could be saved for an emergency and would expire at the end of the year “when there is the least danger of a burst of driving to use them up.” MSC TRAVEL To Russia With Love! May 14 - June 14 Most extensive student tour ever taken to the Soviet Union. Limited Enrollment for A&M Students until Oct. 31. United Press International AUSTIN — Three proposed amendments to the Texas Constitu tion, including one providing state guarantees for loans to purchase farms and ranches, will be voted on in a Nov. 6 special election, and only about 10 percent of the state’s 5 mil lion registered voters are expected to vote. The light turnout statewide, coupled with a lively mayor’s race in Houston and municipal votes in Dal las and Fort Worth, apparently will mean the outcome of the three issues could be determined by the big city voters. None of the three proposed con stitutional amendments has at tracted significant attention, al though Rep. Luther Jones, D-El Paso, and a handful of other legis lators have waged their own personal campaigns for approval of Proposi tion No. 3 — the proposal authoriz ing $10 million in bonds to guarantee loans for purchase of farm and ranch land by individual Texans. Jones contends the survival of the family farm in Texas may hinge on the vote, and the proposal has the endorsement of virtually every ag ricultural organization in the state and Agriculture Commissioner Re agan V. Brown. The other two proposals on the ballot would give notaries public statewide jurisdiction and have them licensed directly through the secre tary of state rather than through county clerks, and would give the Legislature power to override ad ministrative regulations adopted by state agencies at times the Legisla ture is not in session. In Houston, Mayor Jim McConn faces eight challengers in his bid for another two-year term, including Leonel Castillo, a former city com ptroller who resigned as immigration and naturalization commissioner to return to Houston and enter the race, and city councilman Louis Macey. The Houston city election is the first since the justice department ap proved a new redistricting plan hav ing nine city council members elected by districts and five chosen at large. In Dallas, voters will decide a 7-proposition bond issue, including four items that were defeated in a June 1978 vote. City election secretary Robert Sloan estimates a 50,000 turnout for the bond issue vote, and a smaller turnout is anticipated in Fort Worth for a vote on a move to limit property tax increases to no more than 5 per cent per year. The three proposed constitutional amendments are among 12 approved by the 1979 Legislature. The remaining nine is sues will be submitted to voters at the general election in November 1980.

Greater Houston Area Homebuil ders Association. At an appearence earlier at San Antonio earlier in the day, the former California governor blamed the nation’s economic ills on Demo cratic Party leadership, saying the Democrats’ philosophy of big gov ernment is the root cause of inflation that is eating away at America’s standard of living. Reagan and his wife, Nancy, at tended what was billed as a “non political” $10-a-plate luncheon with 1,300 prosperous San Antonians and told reporters he would officially an nounce on Nov. 13 whether he again will seek the Republican presidential nomination. Reagan also spoke in Fort Worth Sunday night. “The philosophy of the leadership of the Democratic Party is going farther and farther away from the rank and file of the Democratic Party,” Reagan told his backers. “They have created a monstrous bureacracy that today has more power than our own elected repre sentatives.” Reagan, interrupted several times by applause, called for the federal government to get completely out of the education and energy' fields and to turn the welfare program back to state and local governments. “Gov ernment causes inflation — nothing else,” he said. He said the inflation rate of more than 13 percent had caused a 4.5 percent decrease in the standard of living, and that a prime cause was the federal government taking two- thirds of the 44 cents out of every dollar Americans earn that goes for taxes. Criticizing President Jimmy Car ter’s handling of the Soviet combat brigade in Cuba, the Panama Canal treaties and Carter’s support of the SALT II accords, Reagan told the gathering, “It’s time to forget whether someone likes us or not and decide we will be respected.” Asked by reporters about Repub lican presidential candidate John Connally’s recent inferrence that Reagan was too old to seek the presi dency, Reagan, 69, chided: "I’m sorry to hear that because I’ve always thought of 'Big John’ as a sort father figure.” But he said he had the stamini carry on a campaign. "It is gniel It is hard. But I believe very this country has to embarkota! ferent course than we’ve hi few decades.” Woman sues probate ju United Press International HOUSTON — A 19-year-old woman has asked a federal court to award $200,000 damages from a pro bate judge and an abortion informa tion service the woman contends tried to thwart her decision to end her pregnancy.
