Asylum Probe Resolution Divides Texas House Panel
A House committee in San Antonio rejected a resolution urging a legislative inquiry into the Simpson murder at the San Antonio State hospital. Rep Pat Jefferson pressed for investigation, arguing publicity harms Texas, while others questioned the need and potential ties to Bexar county politics. Jefferson said it wasn’t a charge, just following newspaper coverage. The panel noted the grand jury in Bexar County was functioning and sought clearer evidence before proceeding.

Foreclosure moratorium bill debated by Civic Advancement League
Senator Eyesb Pelbaum and Representative P. T. Anderson may introduce a bill to stall foreclosures on homesteads for at least two years. A moratorium bill, led by Judge Arthur Gray, would delay actions by six months after notice with a court hearing set six months later, and final decree after a year. Dr. Robert Kelly urged extending the plan to all property, warning foreclosure could risk state ownership.
