Veto Stampede Put to Milling Love
In Austin a Senate bid to override Gov. O Daniel's veto of the state auditor bill failed 69 to 57 after strong House opposition. The veto override, aided by only one Senate vote against the governor, stalled as lawmakers argued over whether the auditor should report to the legislature or be appointed by the governor. The session moved on to a $350,000 biannual appropriation for public junior colleges and debates over oil proration statutes and a gasoline tax diversion constitutional amendment. A run-off bill for the U S Senate race drew early support in the House with more than 20 sponsors.
