AUSTIN (UPI)— A House-
Senate power fight split the
59th Legislature into snarling,
stubborn factions Thursday.
Leaders of both houses today
were working to mend the
brech before it spreads to oth-
er issues.
At the root of the battle,
which began Wednesday, were
two constitutional amendment*
—one by Sen. Louis Crump of
San Saba 4SJR 44) raising Sen-
ate membership from 31 to 39
and a second by Sen. Jack
Strong of Longview (SJR 47)
providing longer terms- for leg-
islators.
Crump’s amendment, as he
submitted it, was aimed at eas-
ing the pain of reapportioning
the Senate and- required a spe-
cial election Aug 7 for ratifica-
tion.
A statutory requirement that
90 days elapse before such an
election—along with a few days
for the secretary of state to
process the ■ resolution—meant.
Crump said, that the proposal
had to pass this week
But when the legislature ad-
journed until Monday, both
amendments were far from ac-
ceptable to the separate houses.
Crump’s proposal was lodged in
a conference committee and the
10 conferees were in total dis-
agreement on it.
House member* attached
—and refused to remove—a rid
er on the Crump, measure to
give House members four-year
terms instead of the two years

Crump made a personal priv-.
'lege speech Iff the Sanais mt*
Thursday to announce the fail-
ure of the conference commit-
tee to reach a compromise. He
blamed House members and
said they insisted on discussing
“extraneous matters.”
“We are conferees on SJR 44
We are not conferees on SJR
47.” said Crump. “In my opin-
ion, the length of the terms for
this legislature should not enter
- —me. discussion—of_the ' size M
this House.”
Temper* flared in bath
houses. Sen. Martin Dies Jr. of

not feel compelled to accept a

that the companies do not plan

“The union ha* stressed that
it is united in threatening a

Both sources stressed that the
companies were more than will
big to negotiate but that the
union* demand* up to now

present status of the stalled
talks is "now a war of nerves."
