AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 28.—(AP)— The house devoted half an hour Tuesday to a spirited discussion of whether a new carpet should be placed on the floor of the hall of representatives and by a 64-53 vote tabled a resolution providing for expenditure of as much as $5,000 for such improvements.

A resolution of Representatives Webb and Masterson recited that new carpets should be placed in the hall and in the house reception room, and new linoleum in the galleries.

It declared present conditions are a reflection on the management of the house and a disgrace to the state."

Representative McFarlain declared the resolution should be tabled and any repairs should be ordered by the 40th legislature.

Representative Smith of Travis said he believed the carpet on the floor of the hadd had been placed there in 1888 while others declared it had been there only 16 years.

Carrying with it amendments making it apply only to chicdets and turkeys, the bill by senator Pierce B. Ward of Cleburne, making- it a felony or a misdemeaner to steal a chicken or turkey, was passed by the Senate by a vote of 21 to 4.

The senate finally passed the bill by Senator Benjamin F. Berkley of Alpine validating *the acts of the land Commissioners office on the West Texas land relief measure of the 39th legislature, the administrative part of which has been attacked in the courts.

Land purchasers who, under the relief measure, fortified their land and repurchased under reappraisment, are thus protected, Senatro Berkley explained.

The house concurrent resolution by Representative R. K. Irwin, authorizing an investigation into the Hidalgo county bond issues was presented and referred to the senate-committee on such affairs.

Appointment by the speaker of a committee of five to investigate conditions at Texas University and Texas A. and M., particularly alleged high fees, and report any irregularities to the 39th legislature in special session, was urged in a house resolution by Representative Master-son of Brazoria. It will be acted on Wednesday. Over the opposition of Representative John T. Smith of Travis, the bill by Johnson of Anderson, validating all district road bonds voted, but not issued and sold, and authorizing commissioners court to issue the proper orders for their sale, passed the house 107 to 9.

A resoluton by Representative Parrish of Runnels that the house will adjourn sin die at Friday at five o'clock October 5 today was laid on the table subject to call by the house.

A number of members feel that October 9 will be a more fitting date for adjournment.
