Gov Allan Shivers signed a new law criminalizing Communist activity in Texas with penalties up to death for sabotage. It requires all Communists or front members to register with the Department of Public Safety and bars Communist Party members from public office. The measure passed the House 136 to 0 and the Senate 28 to 0. Failure to register is a felony with fines up to 10 thousand dollars or up to ten years in prison. Sabotage causing death is murder with malice aforethought.

Senate Vote Okays Redistricting Bill in Texas
The Texas Senate approved with one minor amendment a House redistricting bill. It advances to the House for concurrence after a 25-3 roll on action. Opponents were Sens. Aikin Jr., Carter, and Russell, who represent areas affected by the shift. The plan redefines districts resulting in East Texas losing representation while West and South Texas gain. An amendment moving Deaf Smith County from the 95th to the 96th District passed, justified by the lack of road access to the 95th.
