AUSTIN May 24 Governor Coke R Stevenson approved judiciary and deemosynary appropriation bills for the new biennium, cutting total allocations by 1,608,873 from the current term ending August 31.

He also approved a bill regulating river authorities, and will finish desk work by May 31 after vetoes were announced. Several measures were discussed, including convict labor on private farms and parity credits for convicts on parole.
