Harris County Flood Bond Votes Help Burnet Scott and Crystal Bay
Absentee voting began in Houston for two flood control measures. A $30 million bond package would raise the tax rate eight cents over five years, while a five cent maintenance levy would rise gradually. Commissioner Ramsey says funds would seal rights of way for federal flood projects and back the Brownwood levee plan, with future levies possible to fund growth and development.

Heart Transplant Serum May Rule Out Rejection
Houston报道Dr. John J. Trentin of Baylor College of Medicine received a $5,823 emergency grant from the Houston Harris County Heart Association to advance a serum, anti lymphocyte globulin, aimed at reducing organ rejection after heart transplants. The serum could enter animal trials in 60 to 90 days and may lower the needed anti suppressive drugs, which increase infection risk. Trentin cautions rejection cannot be fully eliminated, but hopes to approach compatibility through this and related tissue typing efforts.

Woman A Hostage For 45 Minutes
A 24 year old Alabama man Wayne Collette fired into a tavern door and shot at two officers before taking his landlady Nan Ashmore hostage for 45 minutes in Baytown. Lt. Charles Cowan calmed him during a tense standoff with more than two dozen armed officers surrounding the house. Collette eventually surrendered after Cowan's urging and a warning shot. The incident ended with an assault with intent to commit murder charge filed in Justice of the Peace M. M. Brown's court.
