Comptroller and Governor Clash Over Pay As You Go Duty
The article examines how the Texas Comptroller’s non discretionary duties constrain funding approval. It contrasts the governor’s veto power with the comptroller’s certification requirement which determines whether an appropriation can reach the governor or Legislature. It notes a 51st session and mentions ghost bills tied to automatic funding limits. The piece also covers a joint tax board role and a broader juvenile development report to the Legislature.

Regional Education Plan Aids Southern Higher Ed Effort
The regional plan proposed by former Florida Governor Millard Caldwell aims to build a parallel higher education system for Negroes in the South Texas, designed to meet costs without federal aid. He says Florida estimates $19.5 million for a Negro medical college, with 100 students starting in 10 years, and asserts states must fund higher education locally. New steps include locating the American Association of Junior Colleges offices at the University of Texas for three years under Dr. C. C. Calvert, expanding Austin’s national role in education planning.
