Texas session looms as court orders special meeting
Gov. Preston Smith, after the Texas Supreme Court ruling, must call lawmakers back to address primary election financing and highway funding. Bills on the May 6 and June 3 elections, plus a 1973 state budget act, are at stake, with House tension likely over Speaker Gus Mutscher and interim leadership. Crime in Texas rose in 1971, and Veterans Land bonds sold at a low rate fund continued program financing into 1974.
