Texas Faces Costs in Upgrading Education and Local Planning
The Governor's Committee on Education Beyond the High School outlines costs to raise Texas faculty salaries to national levels, fund libraries and research, and expand junior colleges while delaying new construction. It calls for higher tuition and a reorganized oversight board. Separately, 109 Texas cities engage in a master planning program with federal grants funding two thirds of costs, to prepare for 25 years of growth.

Chicago crime gang expands into restaurant business era
The Chicago crime syndicate, long involved in gambling and rackets, pushes into restaurants amid arson and murder counts. Lloyds of London hesitates to insure new Chicago eateries as 63 such venues burned or damaged in 29 months and 976 gangland killings since 1919 average 23 per year with few arrests. Police fear gang arsonists target rivals and respectable spots. El Rancho Vegas once burned after a Mafioso was forced out, leaving it unrebuilt. The piece notes Prohibition era criminal reach and cautionary outcomes.
