He has also suggested that a committee be appointed to work with privately-owned utility companies about the possibility of the state buying electric power from a source other than Austin-owned power plants. The dean of the Austin House delegation, Rep. Don Cavness, a Democrat, has several times criticized Angly severely for his resolution, which, obviously, has proven an embarrassment for many legislators.

A number of them were issued Capitol secretaries or others who are in some way connected with the Legislature; the list published last issue of parking violations reflects not the number of violations charged to each legislator; rather, it indicates the number of parking tickets each legislator has sought to have set aside \(or others.

Blanchard, the Lubbock conservative, noted recently, as a Senate committee was considering submission of a constitutional amendment that would repeal annual voter registration, “This is another chink in the armor that has been going on for the past six or eight years. As you permit groups to register people and bloc-vote them, you are going to have problems. . . . I personally favor the poll tax. . . .

Bob Armstrong advised the Observer that the parking ticket with his name on it was issued a former employee in his office. Although his name was on the back of the ticket, Armstrong says he was unaware of the ticket until seeing the Observer story. He says the ticket has now been paid, not set aside under legislative immunity. tells the Observer that the u-turn he is charged with making at the corner of Fourth and Congress occurred around 11:30 at night, not 11:30 in the morning. He concedes he intends to have the ticket “fixed.” G.O. Changing Times On April Fool’s Day, the House resoundingly defeated a resolution by Republican Rep. Bill Archer, Houston, which would have put the Legislature on record against “any attempt to forcibly compel the bussing of school children away from their neighborhood schools, in any Texas School District.” Rep. Tom Bass of Houston and others insisted that neither the Health, Education, and Welfare Department nor Houston school officials were considering bussing as a solution to Houston’s integration problems. He said the resolution might make the state a “witting or unwitting party” to a federal desegregation suit. Archer’s resolution was tabled 98 to 36.
