Patman bets on parliamentary move to pass loan-rate bill
In Austin AP report Sen Bill Patman warns a calendar maneuver could push Senate Bill 69 raising loan rates to the top if other measures clear the way. The bill would lift rates on loans up to 5000 dollars, needing 16 votes to adopt if ahead of others, or 21 to move it out of order. Moore vows another attempt despite a 19-12 initial loss. Also on the agenda are Patman’s cost-cutting agency plan and Moore’s foreign-student tuition hike. A UT student group warns 85 percent of foreign students in Moore’s district might have to leave Texas if the measure passes.
