Score of 52nd Texas Legislature outlined
AUSTIN the 52nd Texas Legislature saw the House pass 325 bills and the Senate approve 216. Total introduced in the House was 28,000, while the Senate considered 474. The session lasted five months with appropriations totaling about 3,000. Taxes rose by roughly 365 million, driven in part by a new natural gas tax. Crime dominated floor time with investigations and hearings tied to the Maceo regime. Slot machines and punch cards were banned, communists registered, and the criminal code tightened. Two defense bills and several election and road acts were approved. Redistricting favored West Texas. East Texas lost. Voters will elect one congressman at large and a new 22nd representative in 1952. A year-long study of the water code died, and price fixing for gas was rejected by the Senate. The laws covered many areas while some major redraws were left undone.

Barclay On Bridge Two Reasons To Wait
A bridge column outlines two main reasons a declarer may delay drawing trumps in a suit contract. One reason is to secure discards in a side suit, the other to preserve trumps for ruffing in the dummy or declarer’s hand. In rare cases both reasons apply before any trump is led.
