Governor Allred Rejects Immediate Pension Session
Governor Alfred Allred said he will not call a special legislative session to fund old age pension payments though money from liquor taxes is available. He cited an incomplete law, need for full investigations, and potential costs of a session, while noting enough funds remain for future payments once requirements are met. Senator Roy Sanderford condemned the move as a disappointment to many destitute Texans.

A Swiss psychology expert Professor Adam Holzapfel claims a writer’s character can be revealed by typing habits. Distortions like misordered letters suggest mental disturbances or erotic ideas while irregular spacing and missing commas imply irresponsibility. Partially correct typing may indicate unstable character or hysteria, though fatigue can explain some errors.
