Jones and Co. of Paris, members of bank balance the New Exchange: York Stock Hotel sale is probed PHOENIX (AP) Police have asked for a search warrant in an investigation of an alleged swindle by five men to buy two Phoenix hotels with a worthless letter of credit and a false financial statement. The hotels were identified in the police affidavit filed Tuesday in Superior Court as the Westward Ho and the Camelback Sahara. The affidavit seeks notes and documents from Maurice E.

Ringer of Sacramento, Merle Surls, a Colorado Springs, businessman; Saul Davidson, a Denver financier and banker; Albert B. Muth, a Houston, real estate investor; and Delmar suit rnnouncina To Serve You Better Our New Phone Number Is 785-0351 Please Make Note Of This Number To Save Time On Your Next Call THEFIRST of Paris Continued From Page One bills are allowed by a district was not a question before the court and was not a part of the plaintiff's pleadings. the signing of the 1975-76 Delmar school budget by president Bobby Vaughan before formal adoption by the school board "is not a matter of substance." the board has taken no official action on issuance of time warrants or certificates of indebtedness at a meeting which was not held in accordance with the open records law. Braswell added there was a meeting where there may have been failure to comply, but that was corrected in a later meeting. JUDGE Braswell's judgment is to go into effect immediately.

Also, earlier in the session, both sides agreed to stipulate as evidence the earlier court sessions in November 1976 during which Judge Braswell denied an application for a temporary injunction against the Delmar district and dissolved a temporary injunction against the Delmar district and dissolved a temporary restraining order which had stopped the district from purchasing time warrants to finance construction. The judge-indicated in his ruling that the burden of proof in the case was on the plaintiffs and that he felt that case was not proven. Braswell said that in a number of instances the plaintiffs "stretched your pleadings too far." In those instances, Flanary cited that Daves, in his questioning of witnesses, was moving into either "immaterial," "trivial" or what he called "global allegations." And his objections were, for the most part, sustained by Braswell. DAVES did attempt some prying into budgetary affairs of the Delmar district in open court as he attempted to determine how the district could come up with a $70,000 surplus as recorded by the 1975-76 budget. The only answer to that point came from Deatherage, who testified that the "money we have is free and clear." Deatherage, when asked by Daves why this money was used for the new proposed building, answered only that "some would be used to pay for the (agriculture) building." Daves also questioned both Deatherage and First National Bank of Paris President Glyhn Lowe whether any arrangements have been ma'de tp purchase such time warrants before approval was made by the Delmar board.

Both emphatically said no. Travel Service LOWE also testified that the First National Bank of Paris, as the depository bank of the district, had entered bids for that service to Delmar each two years. He said he didn't know if any other bids were ever accepted by Delmar The question was never followed up. Daves aimed first at the board members, calling Roy Coker, Jimmie Wortham, R. L.

Butler and Vaughan to the stand to discuss their relationships with the Concerned Citizens group. Flanary's cross examination aimed only at showing the board members' awareness of the Texas Open Meetings Law and their future adherence to those laws. All indicated they attended the group's meetings simply to learn of taxpayer feelings in the district. "It's difficult to separate being a board member and a Concerned Citizen," Daves told Wortham during the questioning. "It's difficult," Wortham replied.

"That's not to say it's impossible." WORTHAM WAS also asked by Daves whether discussions held in the Concerned Citizens meetings on issues before the school board were later voted on by the board in agreement with the Concerned Citizens' views. "I wouldn't call it going along," Wortham said. "I drew my own conclusions." Daves, in his final argument, said that free and open discussions were allowed at the Concerned Citizens meetings with no agenda or posting of notice, but that citizens who wished to express their views at the board meetings were refused unless on the agenda. FLANARY contended that Daves did not prove any violations of the Open Meetings Act during his own final arguments. After those final arguments, Judge Braswell, saying that a ruling in this case should be made as expeditiously as possible, denied all of the plaintiffs' contentions.

He also welcomed final briefs from both counsels and called on Flanary to prepare a final judgment order. Howard Woodall of Glendale, who has been convicted of land fraud. Some of the evidence sought, the affidavit said, "pertains to investigations presently being conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Phoenix Police Department intelligence unit, the Washoe County Sheriff's office in Reno, and the Colorado Strike Force." According to the affidavit filed by Detective Robert DeBusk, Searls and Muth were the major participants in the attempted purchase of the Westward Ho. Robert Holland, the hotel's attorney, said Tuesday he became suspicious of the purchase offer and the deal fell through. The affidavit says the group of men held a series of meetings here in December 1975 and July 1976.

It alleges that a total of 19 suspects stayed at the Camelback Sahara and left without paying bills, causing a loss of about $25,000 to the hotel. Muth's financial statement was used in the proposed purchase of the Westward Ho, the affidavit said. One statement dated April 3, 1974, listed assets of more than $105 million, the affidavit said, but was found to be worthless by the Washoe County Sheriff's office. An updated statement dated Dec. 31,1975, listed assets of more than $210 million, DeBusk.

said, According to the 'police, Surls tried to buy the Sahara last February, using letters of credit obtained from Newport Trust which has been under investigation by authorities for alleged business loan swindling operations.

A party official said $1.8 million raised by the Republican National Committee and earmarked for the Ford campaign went unspent because nobody asked for it.

"If we'd known they weren't going to use, it, we could have spent it on congressional campaigns," the official said. In addition, the Ford campaign apparently spent substantially less than the law allowed in public funds.

Ex-livestock leader guilty of rustling CARLSBAD, N.M.

(AP) A former New Mexico Livestock Board inspector is to be sentenced Jan. 25 after his conviction on three counts of cattle rustling. Sammy Charles Stoneman was found guilty by a district court jury Sunday night after nearly seven hours of deliberation. District Court Judge George Zimmerman of Alamogbrdo "presided-'over the case, which was transferred to Carlsbad from Carrizozo. Zimmerman ordered a presentence report and directed Stoneman not to leave the state without permission of the court.

Stoneman was charged with three counts of larceny of livestock in connection with the losses of cattle by Lincoln County ranchers. Testifying in his own defense, Stoneman said he bought the cattle in question from a "Matt Green." The cattle were sold through an Albuquerque livestock sales ring. By The Associated Press Stormy weather eased away from much of the nation, but cold temperatures remained the rule this morning. A cold front just entering the Pacific Northwest caused widespread rain across portions of northern California, south Oregon and western Washington. Snow fell across parts of Oregon and Washington.

Locally heavy snow hit portions of the Oregon Cascades and southeast Oregon, and travel advisories were issued for these areas. Snow also was widespread across Michigan and the lower Great Lakes region. A travel advisory was up across western New York, where the combination of snow squalls and gusty winds produced low visibility in some areas. Light rain and drizzle was reported across much of Texas. Extensive low cloudiness reached northward into southwest Arkansas.

still be campaign bills to be paid. Final reports on the expenditures of both President Ford and President-elect Carter are due by Jan. 31. The reports of unspent Republican campaign funds came Tuesday amid maneuvering over selection of a new GOP national chairman on Friday. Ford had endorsed James A.

Baker III, his former campaign manager, to take over the party chairmanship, but Baker withdrew on Monday, saying it was clear his candidacy would not contribute to Republican unity. It was evident that rival Republicans were prepared to challenge Baker's management of the Ford campaign because of the money that went unspent in the close contest with Carter. But William Greener, spokesman for the President Ford Committee during the campaign, said that was not a factor in Baker's decision. Greener said no campaign task went undone for lack of funds. Unseasonably cold temperatures dominated most sections of the nation, with more seasonable readings restricted -to the Pacific states, the Southwest and Texas.

Sub-zero temperatures reached from the northern Rockies across the north half of the plains, the upper Mississippi valley and a portion of the lower Ohio valley. Wife charged with murder of husband OXFORD, Miss. (AP) A Texas woman, in a hospital here with a gunshot wound, faces murder and aggravated assault charges.
