Governor James V. Allred chopped down three more bills with his veto axe today, and house members interested in the proposal establishing a statewide soil conservation plan said he told them he would add that to the disapproved list. The chief executive had only one more clay in which to act on bills passed at the regular session. Aside from soil conservation, the most important ones still before him were those restricting dental advertising and appropriating money for support of state departments during the next biennium.

Because Ot Tax Diversion House members active in the soil conservation controversy quoted the governor as saying he would veto the bill because the federal government might not cooperate under the legislature's plan and because of the proposed diversion for soil conservation of six cents of the 35-cent nd valorem tax for general revenue purposes. The three latest bills placed on the veto list would have remitted taxes to eight East Texas counties in which national forests have been established, amended the penitentiary land leasing statute and exempted county mutual insurance corn- from the tax for support of the state firemen's pension plan.

(By The Associate Press) A USTIN, June sate senate, acting swiftly in the leils- lature's war to curb gambling in Texas, struck twice today, unanimously approving bills to outlaw bookmaking on all forms of racing and sports as well as betting on dog races- After a bitter contest in the senate, the legislature last week repealed the law which four years ago legalized the certificate system of betting on horse racing, having been called into special session for that primary purpose. Enforcement Was Difficult Texas laws long have prohibited book-making but prosecutors have complained they contained so many loopholes enforcement was difficult or impossible. There have been charges, too, that in some cases local officers made Uttle or no effort, at enforcement. The book-making bill passed by the senate. 26 to 0, made it unlawful to take or place for another a bet on a horse, dog, automobile, motorcycle or other race, or on any athletic contest or sports event.

Penalty was fixed at from one. to five years imprisonment, in jail or the penitentiary, and from 1100 to $1.000 fine. Violation A Felony It was made a felony for the owner or agent of property knowingly to permit its use in connection with bookmaking it was further provided that properties so used could be closed for a year as public nuisances under injunctive proceedings. Telephone, telegraph and radio companies were forbidden to serve bookmaking establishments and were absolved from damage suits if in good faith, believing their equipment was being used for book-making purposes, they discontinued service. Notification Is Provided Moreover, the bill provided that if the communication companies did not cut off service, after being notified by a grand jury, district attorney, county attorney, sheriff, chief of police or state Ranger that the equipment was used by bookies, such failure would be considered evidence of knowledge the law was being violated.

A committee of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States came out for private financing farm tenancy aid today shortly after the senate agriculture committee had approved direct federal outlays in this field.

TJnder tfcis measure, a propoied fanner's home corporation would receive a 110,000,000 appropriation lor the fiscal year beginning July 1.

It recommended a loan tern" whereby the federal government would guarantee liberal- percentage of the loans to be made by local institutions," Chamber officials said the local institutions referred to by the committee were banks and similar private financial institutions.
