Shelves Sporting Tax Hike After Bitter Protests
Texas Water Resources Committee defers planned hikes on hunting and fishing licenses and a 5 percent excise tax on boats and motors after an all day hearing. Sportsmen from across the state oppose the move as unfair, arguing a tax on a few to benefit all. Debates include calls to abolish the Fish and Game Department and a push for a boat registration or water users tax instead.

Mobster Cohen Recalled by L A Grand Jury in Fix Probe
Los Angeles mobster Mickey Cohen testified before a county grand jury probing possible fixing of a San Antonio fight involving Art Aragon and Dick Goldstein. The hearing, called by District Attorney William McKesson, followed Cohen and Henry Maltin denying links to the alleged scheme amid a separate drugstore brawl over $500. Goldstein claimed a payoff was offered to throw the bout, which ultimately never occurred as Aragon was excused for illness. Goldstein, flown from Seattle for the Texas hearing, was placed in protective custody. Maltin said the matter was a “comedy of hunches” and rejected connections to Cohen.
