Paris April 7, 1976 7A Rayburn Symposium last day ETSU honors Briscoes Special to The News COMMERCE Gov. Dolph Briscoe and his wife were to be awarded honorary doctorates from East Texas State University this morning, in the last day of the ET Sam Rayburn Public Affairs Symposium. The governor was to be the featured speaker at noon at the President's Luncheon. The activities will wrap up the symposium which was highlighted at Tuesday night's Sam Rayburn Memorial Dinner by reminiscences about the late speaker of the U.S. House from Bonham, for whom the symposium was named.

Talking of their experiences with Rayburn were U.S. Rep. Ray Roberts of McKinney, retired Associated Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court Tom Clark and Charles Morgan, Washington director of the American Civil Liberties Union. U.S.

Senator Lloyd Bentsen had been scheduled as a speaker but did not attend. The dinner Tuesday night was the occasion for the awarding of the 1976 Sam Rayburn Memorial Scholarship to Miss Janet West of Monroe, a sophomore who is a political science major. A HIGHLIGHT of the daylong symposium schedule Tuesday was a debate between former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark and Charles Morgan, head of the American Civil Liberties Union in the Student Affairs Symposium. Clark called law the fountainhead of freedom in the United States; Morgan argued that the law often inflames.

Clark contended that law and integrity in government are necessary for survival of the nation; he was optimistic that it could be achieved. Morgan contended that the law often is on the side of the influential and wealthy and that the nation is governed by a secretive bureaucracy. "I am convinced, though, that the people have the good sense to set things right if they are given the facts," Morgan said.

Dr. Joseph Jachimczyk, the Harris County, medical examiner who observed the autopsy which listed the cause of death as chronic kidney failure, said, "As far as I'm concerned, it's an ordinary death. It's just that it was not an ordinary person." A Treasury Department spokesman said two Internal Revenue Service agents and a Customs Service officer were dispatched to make an official identification, although Hughes' body was reported to have been accompanied by his birth certificate.

In Washington, the Treasury Department said two IRS agents guarded Hughes' body. "We do not have official custody of the body but we are going to stick with it," until identity is confirmed, a Treasury spokesman said. Jachimczyk said he took fingerprints from the body and forwarded them to the FBI for positive identification. He said "there's always somebody that might say, That's not We do this to answer all these questions." Meanwhile, William Gay, president of Summa said, "It's tragic, it's tragic that Howard Hughes had to die to prove that he was alive." As for the autopsy, Jachimczyk said, "I could not tell what kind of life he had led, but he was very emaciated. The evidence is there that he had been bedridden for some time.

He is not required to be a resident of the community and is only asked to be local and non-partisan. Gandy said Gist's being sworn in as a pollwatcher had no bearing on his duties as an election inspector. NORWOOD was not present at the meeting, although several members of the new City Council, including incumbent George Lemley and newly elected members John Rhodes and Bobby McLaughlin, said he should have been present. Miears opened the meeting saying that Norwood was checking the election and would determine who had hired the pollwatcher in Blossom. According to Miears, the man had presented a telegram from the Secretary of State's office.

It was later learned the man had been hired as an inspector but had been sworn in by Norwood as a pollwatcher. MIEARS said the council would wait until the first meeting in May "if it takes that long for something to take place." He said he felt it was a disgrace to the City of Blossom to have a watcher on the local polls. A vote, insisted on by Lemley, concerning whether the new councilmen would be sworn in Tuesday night, was held, with Lemley voting for the swearing-in and councilmen Haskell Booth and Don Pryor voting against. The votes Saturday, Miears said, were taken to the County Clerk's office by Lamar County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Carl Wolfe. WOLFE TOLD The News he had been asked (not by Gist) topickupthevotesand when he arrived, the people there, including Miears, "were tickled to death to give them to him." He said he later was told the action was illegal and the votes were returned to the City of Blossom Tuesday.

IN A VOTE insisted on by Lemley Tuesday at the city council meeting, concerning whether the new councilmen should be sworn in Tuesday night, Lemley voted for the swearing-in and councilmen Haskell Booth and Don Pryor voted against. Councilmen John Graves and J. D. Edmonson, who recently resigned, were not present. PRYOR indicated he felt there were several reasons for not swearing in the new council and cited four: question about the ballot form; the voting was correctly handled; the city's attorney, Leslie Echols, was out of town and had had been advised not to do anything until the council could confer with its attorney.

the council should post notice concerning the canvassing of the ballots. "QUESTIONS were also raised as to the legality of the pollwatcher, who reportedly must be a Blossom resident; that Blossom has no voter lists; whether the lone Mayoral candidate, Mrs. Lawrence Miears (who received 11 votes) was indeed eligible to be on the ballot; and the legality of candidates from the Morrisville Addition, which is still to be determined by the Justice Department, Mrs. Justus said. According to unofficial returns Saturday, write-in candidate Charles Fendley won the mayor's position over six other candidates, five of those also write-ins.

The city voters also okayed a one-cent city sales tax to defray city operating expenses but Mrs. Justus Wednesday indicated that was also possibly in question and would have to be referred to State Comptroller Bob Bullock's offices in Austin. Other Blossom city councilmen elected Saturday were Lemley, Bobby McLaughlin, Billie Jean Henry and John Rhodes and Johnny Morris. Rhodes and McLaughlin were outspoken at the meeting, saying they were quite displeased with the action taken bv the council. Rhodes, addressing the council, called it "a question of honesty." McLaughlin said after the session he "was not pleased at all and wanted to see next month what is decided." He noted he would like to confer with an attorney concerning the matter.

Miears, in closing the meeting, told the audience that he "was sorry it all came about and was not taking sides. Norwood will make the final decision and I hope for that to be done in a few days." symposia yesterday: Berniece Johnson, black state legislator from Dallas, told the audience at the Women's Luncheon, "Don't break the rules; change them."
