Funds Sought To Run Drivers Financial Responsibility Law
In Austin on June 19 State Comptroller Calvert debated funding for a proposed drivers financial responsibility bill. He outlined a $5 accident reporting fee to raise 300000 in year one and 200000 in year two to cover administration costs, contingent on funds being available in the Department of Public Safety. The measure would require car owners to prove up to 15000 for injuries and property damage and mandate reporting for accidents over 50 dollars, with the fee possibly paid by all or only those unable to prove responsibility.

Senator Warren denounces ethics lapses by contractors and some military officers. He cites a government agency case where every employee reportedly received gifts from television sets to liquor and hosiery, with gifts returned after action. He blasts Congress for repealing the 1872 ban on leaving government service to work for a new employer in the same agency, saying the breakdown remains un repaired and a code of ethics could curb bid rigging and shady practices.
