Shivers nas declared warfare anew on local crime conditions in Texas that may be tied in with political machines. "It is going to be stamped out if I have anything to do with it," the governor told 200 crime stoppers In conference here with Gen.

John Ben Shepperd. Shepperd told the conference a proposed state department of justice with broad powers to step in wh.ere local law enforcement breaks down might smash the power of "political bosses allied with criminals who have a few Texas counties in their grip." Neither the governor nor the attorney general specified what section or sections of Texas they were talking about. But Shivers said he had received numerous requests- to "do something about" one particular area. The condition complained of, he said, might be limited to one county. He said the.

Constitution gives him power to call out the militia to stamp such dire emergencies as insurrections and riots. "I don't know whether the condition could, be termed an insurrection or not, but it be stamped out. And 1 it's going to-be stamped out if I have anything to do with it." The conference is studying suggestions by the House-Crime Investigating Committee to a central state police authority which would broaden the governor's present powers, along with those of the attorney general and state police.
