MOODY plans
TO FIGHT FOR
PRISON Bill
Governor Is to Rally
Forces For Passage
Of Centraliza
Act This Session
BY r. w. BARRY

ASSOCIATED Press Staff WRITER
AUSTIN, Feb. 9.-LPl-Governor
Moody has his heart set en- prison
GENERALIZATION and he IS going 70 DO
his best TO make the present legis-
lature see IL his way. Not 70 the
extent Of coercion, but through ex-
plaration Of his plans TO win over
opponents 10 his ideas Of how the
reorganization and concentration
should be done will he act.
With the Holbrook bill, approved
by the governor, all but rejected BY
the senate committee. the governor
rallied his friends 70 its support
with the result il has been passed
out favorably.
The house committee preferred
the Younger-Turner-Loy measure
providing for concentration on the
seven farms below Houston with the
central plant on the Darringt n
farm in Brazoria county, to the
Holbrook companion bill, sponsored
IN the house by Graves Of William
son and Hubbard Of Bowie, who by
the way, are fast taking places as
house administration lcaders-but
the governors measure has been or
dered printed there on minority re-
port.
To Address Legislature
The senate committee had report
ed %fRvorably the Cousins bill, senate
companion TO the Young-Turner-Loy
version in the house. previous 10 its
action in recommending the Hol-
brook draft. thus bringing about a
dilemma that might amount to moth
ing more than one Of the two bills
being considered on minority report.
At any rate. the legislature will
take its choice between the two meR-
surss and Governor Moody will ask
that he one he favors be given first
consideration.
He is preparing n message 10 the
legislature which will convey his
thoughts and wishes in plain Ian
guage on prison and other subjects
of legislation. He probably will de-
liver IL in person Monday and his
friends believe il will be the stroke
that may not only drive home ad-
ministration prison legislation, but
warm up the statewide bond issue.
=. Hopes for Highway Proposal -.
The governor wants the prison
board, attorney general, speaker Of
the house and president pro tenn OF
the senate empowered to survey the
prison situation and determine the
course TO follow concerning reor-
ganixation and concentration.
The opposing bill would direct
that certain properties now owned
south of Houston be maintained n
the prison board to carry
out it's ideas Of concentration on
these lands.
Concerning the highway situation,
the governor retains confidence
that the legislature will submit a
proposed constitutional amendment 50
that the people may pass on 1t. The
plan is still before the legislature, in
the senate by favorable committee
report and in the house through
minority report.
The governor is claiming 10 SEN
stors rs ready 10 vote for the reso-
luton submitting the amendment
and only three more are needed 10
give il the two-thirds majority in
that branch.
In the house some opponents OF
the bond issue claim IL cannot pass.

Today the number Of stocks dealt
