She objected to the fact that only two republican judges were appointed. Mrs. Nelson appeared before the court Monday armed with Republican vote precentages and a list of possible election officials for all the precincts in the county with the exception of six or seven. She said the Republican nominees for governor and U.

S. senator received 46.5 per cent of the vote in the county in the 1970 election and were thus entitled to more than two judges's positions The GOP carried 21 precincts in the 1970 election. ''Commissioner (Earl) Llewellyn was the only one who reviewed and used the list we submitted in compliance with the election code," Mrs. Nelson said. Commissioner Paul Hopkins said at the Monday session that the list should have been submitted earlier.

Mrs. Nelson replied: "Statements that the GOP list should have been submitted earlier and that prospective GOP election officials had been contacted and refused to serve is a lot of bunk." She said other reasons given by the commissioners in not naming more Republican judges were "feeble and ridiculous excuses." and said the party "followed the election code to the letter of the law." "It is obvious by the list (of proposed election officials) submitted by members of the court namely Commissioners Hopkins, (Jacki Lawrence and (Frank) Carmona that our communication witli them of June 30 on this subject was not used." she said. "Despite this hypocritical action in not selecting a proportionate number of election officials from both parties based on the 1970 election, we shall take steps to be represented in other capacities at the polling places in November," she said. Park Board Oath Of Office Given By DAVID SPECHT NEWS STAFF WRITER County commissioners will help the Galveslon County Beach Park Board of trustees get on its feet, but it may lake time before the board can walk on its own. The seven beach park trustees are seeking to control all county parks development, maintenance and operation, and need the commissioners support and approval of the county park direcotr's increased budget for 1973.

The trustees were sworn into office during Monday's commissioners court meeting and met with County Judge Ray Holbrook and the court Tuesday lo discuss the budget. Ken Pagans, parks director, Nun Wins 'Pride' Contest The Pride In Galveston Committee of the Galveston Chamber of Commerce has announced the first winner in its July Positive Point Contest that culminates each Friday during the month. Sister Mathias of the Dominican Order was awarded the $25 cash prize for her description of the panoramic view of the Gulf of Mexico. The contest is being held in conjunction with the "Think Positive. Think Galveston" campaign under way in the city.

Island residents are encouraged lo submit positive points about the city to the chamber office by 5 p.m. Friday during each week in July. Entries should be 25 words or less and may contain opinions about the city or little known facts. is asking for about $256,000, more than $87,000 above the current budget. Pagans said the commissioners are impressed with the board's initial plans and pledged their support of county parks development, but were non committal on the proposed parks budget.

Departmental budget hearings are scheduled to end Thursday. Holbrook has asked department heads to try to limit budget increases to salary raises. The beach parks board has the authority to operate independently of the county with the court's approval, but Pagans says it wilt require a park budget large enough to pay parks personnel, including himself. All parks expenses and salaries will have lo be paid by the board if commissioners court agrees to give trustees control of the parks. Pagans explained.

He also is hoping to add two or three persons and may have to hire an accountant to handle purchases and bookkeeping. He said there are 25 fulltime personnel, five seasonal workers and three summer employes. Pagans probably will not know if commissioners will approve or cut his 1973 budget until later this summer or early fall. The board will continue meeting and discussing goals, he said. The beach parks board is scheduled to meet in the courthouse Tuesday.

Louis Astronauts Receive Reprimand SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP) The Apollo 15 astronauts received a strong reprimand for making a deal to sell 100 unauthorized moon stamp covers for $21,000, the space agency said Tuesday. Astronauts David R. Scott, James B.

Irwln and Alfred M. Worden made arrangements for sale of the but then backed out before receiving the money, a spokesman for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said. Ninety-nine of the stamp covers were sold later by a German stamp dealer for a total of $149,985. The NASA spokesman said that a space agency investigation indicates the astronauts By JOEL KIHKPATRICK NEWS STAFF WRITKR The? new $500,000 crane at Imperial Sugar dockside facility in Galveston got its first workout Tuesday. The crane began unloading part of a cargo of 25.250 tons of bulk raw Hawaiian sugar from the SS Walter Kice at the Pier 35-3C T- Head Imperial Sugar Co.

docks. Unloading of the raw sugar, which looks like a very grainy tan sand, will continue today. First use of the new crane was announced by R. M. Armstrong, president of Imperial Sugar Co.

The new crane was custom built for Imperial's huge raw sugar receiving installation and warehouse at Galveston by Products Eng'iiecring Co. of Seattle, which has supervised erection of the crane during the past live months. The docksidc crane is more than 130 feet tall, and it travels on rail tracks which enable it lo move from one end of the pier to Uie other to unload all types of bulk raw sugar independently of the ship's equipment, and do it faster and efficiently that previously possible. Armstrong said. On the Walter Rice, the primary use of the crane was mainly to check out (he crane operators, for the ship has modern unloading facilities aboard.

On Friday, the SS Amorgos. a liberian flag ship fStrachan). will arrive in Galveston to unload 21,850 tons of raw sugar at the facility. The new dockside crane wi'-l do the entire job on the Amorgos. "This projecl is an integral part of our Galveston raw sugar handling and storage facility; another major step in Imperial's continuing program to enlarge and improve its operations both at Calves ton and at Sugar Land," Armstrong added.

"This special custom built crane is part of a $750,000 construction project in which Imperial participated to the extent of $316.500 through Gnlveslon Wharves." Armstrong added. He said the project is of considerable significance to the economy of Texas as well as the Port of Galveston, since Imperial's bulk raw sugar imports make up the greatest percentage of the incoming dry cargo total at the port, and form a substantial percentage of all incoming cargo'." Imperial's Galveston facility, built in 1963. includes a raw sugar warehouse with a capacity of 60 million pounds one of the largest in the United States. From the Galveston warehouse, the bulk raw sugar is transported by rail to Imperial's Sugar Land Refinery. The Imperial refinery, the only cane sugar refinery in Texas, has a daily production of three million pounds of refined cane sugar, which is distributed from Sugar Land to Imperial's customers throughout Texas and the Southwest.

For Problem Students TC School Board OKs Center By PATSY JACKSON NEWS MAINLAND BUREAU TEXAS CITY Implementation of a special assignment center for secondary students with behavioral problems was approved by the Texas City School Board Tuesday night to reduce the number of students suspended from senior and junior high schools. Recommended by Supt. Paul Manning, the center would house students experiencing disciplinary problems in school except under extreme circumstances. He said the program is designed to be beneficial to the child rather than turning him out on the street.

Provisions for the center were developed after Deputy Supt. Lee Myer visited other school districts with similar programs, and Manning said the plan is patterned after the most successful programs visited. Students assigned to the center Humphrey, Muskie Out BY EXPERTS Bring your pictures, photos, diplomas, certificates, ne idle- prints, anything (ramable to our modern shop for EXPERT FRAMING.

Wallace, confined to a wheelchair, came to the convention hall to appeal in person for support as his forces pressed for changes in the platform -particularly the busing of schoolchildren. A major dispute loomed over the issue of school busing for racial balance, with Wallace demanding a platform call for its abolition.

Another marathon session loomed over the pla form tailored to fit McGovern's liberal viewpoints. Gov. Reubin Askew of Florida sounded in his keynote address a call for unity in a feuding party. He said Democrats have responded to "a coalition of protest," and if they can now unite, they can win. He said it was impossible to ignore "the forces of division that pull at us from every direction tonight." But Askew said "a good and open fight" can become a source of strength if the contestants get together in the end.

McGovern, meanwhile, altered his position on U.S. policy in Southeast Asia. He said in a statement that as president he would keep troops in Thailand and naval forces in the Gulf of Tonkin until American prisoners are released. He said he is "fully confident there would be no such need." Heretofore, McGovern has pledged total U.S. withdrawal.

McGovern was said also to have conferred by telephone with Humphrey and with Mus- kie about the field of vice presidential prospects. The convention adopted rules forbidding winner-take-all presidential primaries, effective in 1976. That eliminates the issue that produced the pivotal battle over California delegates, chosen in just such a primary. And the Democrats decided that, beginning in 1976, a woman should alternate in chairing the national conventions. Humphrey said he had made his last try for the presidency, but Intended to "let things simmer down a bit" before beginning a quest for Democratic unity.

"I don't think that you ought to talk to people about going to the dance, to the ball, while they've still got a fever," he said. Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington clung to his candidacy. Reps.

Wilbur D. Mills of Arkansas and Shirley Chisholm of New York and former Gov. Terry Sanford of North Carolina were candidates without a chance. Already. McGovern strategists were talking of a vice presidential running mate, with the name of the absent, reluctant Sen.

Edward M. Kennedy atop their list. And already, they were beginning the nominee's quest for party signals that it will be hard to achieve. McGovern's campaign manager said Kennedy was one of two or three Democrats atop the list of potential vice-presidential nominees. The planet Jupiter is noted for its multicolored belts.

A policy adopted lo initiate the center points out Uiat quite often students arc seeking suspension from school and the center will be a deterrent lo this type of abuse. Also a special assignment class instructor will help students to maintain their classwork to receive credit for the work completed while assigned lo the center. In other action the board tabled a request by Billy Knox, developer of Tradewinds Shopping Center, asking the district to dedicate five feet of property along a boundary adjoining his property.

Knox said the city requires a 10 foot easement for an eight inch water main located along the property line, and he recommended that each properly owner dedicate five of the 10 feet. Knox was not present at the meeting when the item was first discussed by the board. A motion was approved at that time to table the request unlil Knox fulfills an earlier agreemenl to construct a fence between Texas City High School and the new shopping center. After Knox arrived and raised the issue for discussion again, he was told by Grariy Roberts, board president, that a tabled issue could not he discussed without a board motion. No such motion was made, and knox replied "As far as I'm concerned, this is it, because I won't be back." A professional growth policy was approved by the board as presented by Manning, who said the policy is based on recommendations of (he district's Faculty Advisory Committee and requirements of the Southern Association of schools.

The policy requires thai each member of the administrative and instructional staff be required to earn al least six semester hours of college credit during each five year period of employment or the equivalency as approved by the state committee until he has reached the age of 60. Equivalency credit may be earned by travel, workshops and conventions, or auditing an accredited college level course. A salary increment of JIG per year per semester hour of college credit earned after employment by the district will be granted, in line with provision already in effect. The policy will become effective Jan. 1,1973.

A work calendar, time schedule. and wage schedules for non instructional personnel was approved as submitted listing salary increases of six per cent for cenlral administration secre- laries and clerks, five per cent for school secretaries and clerks, six per ceni for custodians, eight per cent for maintenance workers, five per cent for cafeteria and snack bar workers, and 15 cents per hour for bus drivers. Chess Champions Begin Tournament REYKJAVIK, Iceland (APi- Bobby Fischer made his opening assault on the Soviet Chess fortress Tuesday night, but world champion Boris Spassky repelled it and left the American with a tough fight for a draw when their first game was adjourned. The first game of history's richest world chess title match was called after 40 moves and 3 hours and 34 minutes of play. It will resume Wednesday at 1 p.m.

EOT. or 5 p.m. Reykjavik time. When play was called off for the night, there was little left on the board: a king and five pawns for Fischer; a king, three pawns and a bishop for Spassky. U.S.

grandmaster Robert Byrne said: "Fischer is going to have trouble making a draw. I don't see how Spassky can lose." Svetozar Gligoric, the Yugoslav grandmaster, commented: "It is doubtful whether black can save a draw." Fischer is playing the black pieces and Spassky the white, which means the Russian had the first move. Fischer has played Spassky five times in the past. The three limes he played the black pieces he lost. Playing white he was able to salvage two draws, but has never triumphed over the Soviet.

Spassky made his first move Tuesday all by himself in the shadowless illumination of the stage at Reykjavik's Sports palace. There was something surrealistic about the world championship series with prize money of about 5300,000 dollars starting with only one man sitting at the chess table. this. John P. Donnelly of NASA said the evidence is "essentially the word" of the astronauts.

Donnelly, chief of NASA public information in Washington, said the arrangements for the stamp sale were made after an acquaintance of the astronauts, Horst "Walter" Eiermann, approached Scott at a banquet in Cocoa Beach. in the spring of 1971. When the Apollo 15 crew boarded their spacecraft the following summer for a launch to the moon, they carried 400 stamped and cancelled envelopes in the pockets of their space suits. Donnelly said no one else in NASA was aware that the stamp covers were on board. Following the mission.

Scott, Irwin and Worden signed the envelopes and had a notary public certify thp envelopes. had been to the moon. Donnelly said Scott then mailed 100 of the envelopes to Eiermann. a naturalized American who now lives in Germany. Later, the envelopes came into the possession of Hermann Sieger, a West German millionaire stamp dealer.

Sieger advertised the stamps in philatelic publications in Europe and sold 99 of them for about $1,515 each. Sieger said he kept one for himself. "We knew there were 232 authorized stamp covers on board Apollo 15," Donnelly said. "There were 144 of them that Worden had requested approval for. Plus there were another 88 authorized to be carried aboard for Barbara Gordon (wife of Apollo 12 astronaut Richard Gordon).

These were Apollo 12 envelopes from Gordon's flight that had not been flown." 12 Years Given In Robbery Judge Donald M. Markle of the 10th District Court Tuesday sentenced a Galveston man to 12 years in prison on a plea guilty to robbery by assault. Sentenced was Tom Earl Lewis 27, who was charged with robbing a Galveston liquor store and a Texas City grocery on Dec. 8,1971. Two other men also were arrested but have not been tried.

They are Edwin Barelield, 20, ol The game went cautiously at Bay City, and Clco McGrew. first, with the players alloted 2li hours each to make 40 moves. The experts said Fischer was trying for a draw by exchanging pieces, simplifying, trying to reduce the advantage Spassky had by choosing the opening. Fischer, as usual, was late. He arrived seven minutes after Spassky moved his queen's pawn and referee Lothar Schmid pressed the button to slart Fischer's clock.
