The bill does not exempt day care centers or institutions that offer overnight care, such as Les ter RolofFs homes for wayward children. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Walter Mengden, R-Houston, re quires that exempt schools be a part of a sponsoring religious orga nization and offer at least kinder garten through third grade. The schools would continue to be subject to inspection by health departments and fire prevention offices. “In my area I have many dis satisfied parents who find public school education really not to their liking,” said Sen. Betty Andujar, R-Fort Worth. Sen. Carlos Truan, D-Corpus Christi, made a long speech on the Senate floor about the dangers of the bill. “It opens up the door for those that might overnight pretend to be religious groups only so they will not have to respond to any type of regulation,” he said. “We ought not to pass a law that will give anybody a blank check to do what they please. I think the chil dren are going to be the losers.” Truan said the major religious denominations do not object to TENDER LOVING CARE! FOR YOUR THESIS OR DISSERTATION OF A LIFETIME.

BUILDING COMPANY Providence - New York - Washington - Cleveland Houston - Chicago An Equal Opportunity Employer M/F/H licensing and many Christian schools and churches supported the bill that established licensing. The Senate also passed a bill that would require suspected child abuse be reported to the police as well as to the Depart ment of Human Resources. Pre sent law requires reporting only to the department, which works with abused children and may initiate changes in custody. Police from several cities, not ably San Antonio, have asked for the change. Another bill passed and sent to the House would increase the amount of money available for compensation to victims of crime and would increase the number of persons eligible to collect the be nefits. The compensation is now fi nanced by court costs paid by per sons convicted of crimes. The bill, by Sen. Lloyd Doggett, D-Austin, would require that the costs be collected from persons sentenced to probation as well as from those sentenced to serve time in prison. Doggett’s bill would also extend the compensation to Texans dam aged by crimes committed outside the state, to children damaged by persons within their households and to peace and fire officers.
