Lawmakers debate large Texas budget in final week
In Austin the Texas Legislature debated a 2.4 billion dollar appropriation bill and a near 50 million teacher pay raise. Amendments sought to cut 754 thousand dollars for district judge raises and to bar air pollution research by cotton gins. The bill, backed by Barnes allies, would leave 84.5 million in unspent general revenue and fund health, education, and state agencies.

Amended Redistricting Bill Aids Four States in 1968 Plan
Senate Judiciary subcommittee approved a congressional redistricting bill after amending it to help four states avoid reapportionment in 1968. The panel led by Sen. Sam J. Ervin voted voice in favor and removed House hearings. The bill limits district size variance to 10 percent starting 1972, with 35 percent deviation allowed for 1968 and 1970, benefiting New York.
