Mayor Mike Malone said he will "probably" lodge a protest vote when the council sets a special meeting to let bids for installing the new water system equipment. Malone has said "nay" on virtually every- subsequent vote since the council agreed on buying the system, rather than a purported cheaper version proposed by W. C. Francis.

The city engineer and staff recommended the current system and the majority of the council agreed. "I can't stop them from doing it," Malone said Saturday, adding, "but I'll probably voteagainst it." "There's really no way to stop it now," he continued. "The pumps and equipment have already been bought, but I'm still going to do what I think is best for the city." The council is also expected to finalize-the lease of press the large hanger at Cox Field to James Wrfnn. a measure which took the bulk of two hours' closed executive discussion last month. Wrenn and the council had to hash out just who would pay what utilities on the building.

The council will also discuss revising the plumbing code, hear another portion of the Hayter Engineering Inc. inflow- infiltration sewer study and appoint an alternate jurist for Municipal Judge Cedric Townsend. who City Manager Bob Sokoll said has been unable to keep up with his case load because of poor health.

Hobby notes that most state money goes for education, welfare, transportation and criminal justice.

"So, if you're talking about reductions of that magnitude ($1 billion) you're talking about major program reductions and I haven't heard anybody say where those ought to be." Hobby said. Clayton says he thinks the Legislature will be able to provide some additional tax relief, perhaps as much as $300 million to $500 million.

The Legislative Budget Board, made up of Hobby, Clayton and other leaders in the Senate and House, has proposed a state spending budget that would leave $110 million for new expenditures or tax relief.

The LBB budget would continue state services essentially at present levels, taking into consideration inflation and population growth. There would be 5.1 percent annual pay raises for state employees and school teachers and $450 million to reimburse school districts for any revenue lost through new tax reductions and exemptions mandated in the tax relief amendment. After the session opening ceremonies and the inaugural festivities, the legislators will settle down to five months of discussion, debate and controversy. The lawmaking process begins in committee, then advances to floor debate and three votes by the entire House or Senate before it goes across the rotunda for a repeat procedure in the second chamber. However, most of the big issues will be settled by 10- member conference committees before going to the governor for approval or veto.

A 'raucous Old Christmas' RODANTHE, N.C. (AP) The rest of the nation may have put the holidays behind them, but the 130 residents of this small coastal village ate, drank and made merry Saturday in a raucous celebration of "Old Christmas." Christmas in January has been a tradition for Rodanthe residents since 1752 when their forefathers defied King George and refused to go along with the Gregorian calender, the dates of which came 10 days earlier than under the old Julian calendar. Since then this Outer Banks village has celebrated Christmas each year on the Saturday closest to Jan. 5.

The Outer Bankers do not appear to have mellowed much from their ancestors the Old Christmas celebration is plain and has a reputation for becoming rowdy. The ceremonial part of Old Christmas is the appearance of Old Buck, a legendary steer that is said to have been the lone survivor of a wrecked cattle ship. Old Buck hides out in the Outer Banks woods and is seen onlv at Old Christmas. "That's the story somebody told, but I don't know about that," said John Herbert, 81, who has been the Keeper of Old Buck for more than 35 years. "I took it (the post) from my wife's grandfather.

Don't know why I did, but I did," he said. The keeper's job is to lead a snorting, cavorting Old Buck through the crowd at the signal from an ancient drum. Herbert said he bought the horns Old Buck wears in New York about 25 years ago. Old Buck's four legs belong to two local merry-makers. "When he (Old Buck) makes his exit, the dancing begins," said John Blizzard, manager of the Dare County Tourist Bureau.

"And from then on, anything goes. The whole thing gets to be pretty rowdy." The threat of fisticuffs breaking out was a main topic of conversation at last year's Old Christmas party, but no serious blows were exchanged. "There used to be more fighting," said one man who identified himself as Old Buck's back legs. "They would fight until the last man would fall."

Calif. (AP) The fall of South Vietnam in 1975 was the result of American misunderstandings, corruption in the Vietnamese government and the inaction of Vietnamese leaders who believed to the last moment that the Americans would rescue them, according to a Rand Corp. report released Sunday. These' conclusions "are offered by former South Vietnamese leaders who were interviewed in exile by the Rand Corp. "think tank" under commission by the U.S.

Department of Defense to sort out reasons for the defeat. The 131-page report summarizes three years of interviews with 27 former Vietnamese leaders, including South Vietnam's former Premier. Air Marshal Nguyen CaoKy. Although the bulk of the study is a re-evaluation of known data, some heretofore undisclosed information is included. For example: President Richard M.

Nixon pressured the South Vietnamese into signing the 1973 Paris Agreements with threats that he would cut off all support funds if they refused. Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu became obsessed with fear that the Americans planned to assassinate him and, "In the end Thieu slept every night in a different room in order to evade assassination attempts." relied heavily on Nixon's private assurance during a 1973 San Clemente meeting that "you can count on us." To the end, Thieu believed the Americans would not "abandon" South Vietnam. day after Nixon's resignation. President Gerald R. Ford wrote Thieu a letter reassuring him of the continuity of U.S.

support which he called, "a policy of five presidents." the waning days of the war. Air Marshal Ky sought support from other senior officers for a coup to oust Thieu and place Ky in control. Ky failed because the others "were reluctant to move without American approval, which was not forthcoming." South Vietnamese officials used to call the Vie'Eriarnizatibti" pT4n." "The U.S. Dollar and Vietnam Blood Sharing Plan." The Rand report, titled, "The Fall of South Vietnam, Statements by Vietnamese Military and Civilian Leaders," is partly a confessional document in which leaders of the fallen country denounce the internal corruption and impotence of their own regime and the failure to understand the Americans. The researchers report that the Americans "in the minds of the South Vietnamese leaders, were impatient, unpredictable, all powerful and hard to understand." Conversely, the Vietnamese blamed the Americans for badly misunderstanding their allies.

Ky was one of those "critical "of "the American "advisers" system, which he termed a "Mafia" style arrangement. "After a few years, there is some sort of Mafia established between American advisers and the Vietnamese commanding officers because, you know, they need each other to get promotions, they need good records and recommendation," Ky said. Ky and others interviewed suggested that Americans frequently were fooled into trusting corrupt Vietnamese officers. "The judged a man too easily on whether he spoke decent English and drank some bourbon with them: and the Americans could be fooled into declaring some man a 'tiger' when in fact he was nothing of the kind." the former officials said. Ky also accused the Americans of having an insatiable appetite for "yes men" which clouded their vision of the true war situation.

Ky is the source of many accusations concerning corruption within the South Vietnamese government. Weather NORTH TEXAS: Outlook Mostly cloudy with a gradual warming trend.
