Historical Continued from page One about charges reflected on some invoices of commission purchases. "There may be an explanation I'm not aware of," Sullivant said. He said he had contacted Cecil Burney, chairman of the Historical Commission and Truett Latirner, the executive director, three or four months ago to ask about added charges shown on invoices, some of which were as much as 30 percent. So far, he said, he has received no reply from either person. 1 Questions concerning the cost of repairs at the Rayburn Home arose publicly last November during a Continued from One "You can get a better idea what's happening when you see for yourself," she explained.

The school district, she added, has shown improvement since reinstatement hearing for Dr. Jameson after Jameson appealed his dismissal. During the hearing, Jameson's attorney at the time, Roger Sanders of Sherman, charged that Jameson's dismissal came after he questioned the quality and the cost of the work being done at the Rayburn Home. Latimer, during the Bonham hearing, said Jameson had been fired because of insubordination, negligence and inefficiency. Latimer also denied that any excess payments had been made for work accomplished at the Rayburn Home near the west edge of Bonham.

After Jameson's firing was upheld by members of the Historical Commission, his attorneys filed suit in U.S. District Court which alleged that Jameson had been removed from his position without due process of law. According to the U.S. District Clerk's office in Tyler, that suit was filed on Jan. 2 and that a motion for its dismissal was filed a month later.

The clerk's office also reported that presiding Judge William Wayne Justice has not taken formal action on the motion. Sherman Attorney James Fry, who filed the lawsuit in behalf of Dr. Jameson, could not be reached for comment Friday morning. she and her family moved here, with room remaining for added improvement.

Consumer Price Index hike eyed WASHINGTON (AP) Sharp new increases in consumer prices, particularly beef and veal, are giving the Carter administration a new case of economic indigestion.

Some government officials said they expected the Consumer Price Index for January, due out later today, would show a startling 1 percent increase from December prices perhaps even more. A 1 percent monthly increase would translate to a 12 percent annual increase, but most analysts do not expect it to be that high over the course of a full year. Most, but not all, of the latest increase is attributed to the soaring cost of beef, which is in short supply. The National Cattlemen's Association said retail beef prices jumped at least 5 percent in January because of severe winter weather, increased costs and the decline in beef production. Average retail prices of choice-grade beef rose to a record $2.06 a pound in January, up 6.6 percent from $1.94 a pound in December.

A year ago comparable prices averaged about $1.60 a pound. The producer January, government's price report for released earlier, showed wholesale prices of all products rising 1.3 percent. Although beef showed the biggest increase, the gains were widespread, including steel, automobiles, tobacco and gasoline. Alfred Kahn, chief of the Carter administration's anti- inflation program, called these increases "clearly troublesome." Besides the new price reports, the administration is faced with a suit by the AFL-CIO against President Carter's 4-month-old anti- inflation wage and price guidelines. AFL-CIO President George Meany said in Bal Harbour, Thursday that the labor federation would go to court to have the standards declared illegal.

Meany has maintained that it is easier to enforce the 7 percent limit against wages than it is to enforce price standards, which are more complicated. The program is described as voluntary but Meany said it is really mandatory because of sanctions threatened against companies that don't comply. And there are no laws now on the books permitting mandatory standards, he said. The administration is counting on the guidelines to hold inflation to 7.4 percent this year. However, Data Resources a private economic consulting firm, has raised its estimate for the year from 8 percent to 9 percent.

And Federal Reserve Chairman G. William Miller told the Senate Budget Committee Thursday it would be difficult to imagine that inflation in 1979 will be significantly lower than the9 percent recorded last year. Many private economists are predicting a recession at the end of the year as the administration tries to fight inflation. A Commerce Department report Thursday showed that the gross national product output of goods and services grew at an annual rate of 6.4 percent in the fourth quarter, up from the 2.6 percent rate in the third quarter.

According to Chief Deputy Ernest Lenoir, Jerry Lee Jarrett, 33, of Rt. 6 Clarksville was released around 3:30 p.m. Thursday when her father presented officials with the bond. The Jarrett woman allegedly fired a .22 caliber rifle at her estranged husband's vehicle as he and his children fled an isolated roadside park between Paris and Blossom Wednesday evening, officials said. Mrs.

Jarrett's husband and children were unharmed in the incident and returned to their home in Jacksboro after they were questioned Wednesday evening, deputies said. Police roundup the vehicle sometime Sunday evening. PARIS patrolmen also investigated four minor auto accidents and arrested three persons on misdemeanor charges, officials said. LAMAR COUNTY Sheriff's deputies arrested two Paris residents, a man and a woman both 20-years- old, on warrants charging them with possession of marijuana. Both warrants, officials said, charged the pair with possession of under two ounces of the drug.

The man and woman were in the county jail Friday morning in lieu of $500 bond set by Justice of the Peace L. Z. (Pete) Wilkerson, authorities said. POLICE continued their investigation Friday into the Wednesday burglary of a garage at the Douglas Wehrman residence at 414 S. Church officials said.

A boarder who lives in an apartment over the garage told officers he heard someone in the garage around 10 p.m. Wednesday but thought it was Wehrman. Wehrman told officers that four 25-pound weights, a bench press, a set of water skis and a stereo headphone with jacks valued at a total $445 was taken during the break-in officials said. Bill would allow gasahol in Texas AUSTIN, Texas (AP) Rep. Dan Kubiak introduced a measure Thursday that would allow the state to promote the development of "gasahol" fuel in Texas.

"Missouri got the jump on Texas this week when they started selling gasahol there at the service station pumps," said Kubiak, D-Rockdale. The measure would permit the state to make loans for production facilities for gasahol, or fuel derived from grains and other renewable resources. Kubiak said he hoped farmers setting up fuel production plants would be the first to benefit from his proposed constitutional amendment. Eventually gasahol also will be produced in urban areas from trash and organic waste material, he predicted. Soviet supplies sent for Vietnam's troops POLICE department officials also continued to search for an unknown suspect who took four wire rim hub caps from a 1978 Mercury owned by Jesse Bridges of 2151 Bonham officials said.

The four hub caps, police said, were valued by Bridges at $269 and were taken from BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) Soviet ships unloaded missiles and radar equipment at the Vietnamese port of Haiphong and China launched air strikes deep into Vietnam to destroy the Russian supplies before they could reach the battlefield. Thai intelligence sources said today. The sources said Chinese aircraft struck an area northwest of Haiphong on Thursday, shortly after the Soviets ships began their deliveries. The raiders apparently hit outside the city so as not to risk bombing the Russian ships and triggering a Soviet reprisal. Heavy fighting was reported, meanwhile, along 100 miles of the eastern Vietnam-China border, with some of the sharpest action in the LangSonand Cao Bang areas.

His testimony came Thursday in response to questions from attorneys for Priscilla Davis, ending the third day of the couple's divorce trial. Davis has been the only witness so far. Mrs.

Davis. 38. claims she should receive half of the $98.7 million profits she contends Davis' companies have earned during their stormy marriage, which began in August 1968. Dislricl John Uarron repeatedaccusatioas that Mrs. Davis' lawyer Jerry Loftin was taking too much lime and being repetitive in his questioning of Davis.

Barron said if Loftin did not speed things up "we'll be here eight or 10 weeks." During Thursday's session, Davis testified he received approximately $340,000 in 197R, $267,000 in 1977, $377,000 in 1976. During that time Davis was jailed for a total of 20 months, first on charges he shot to death bis 12-year-old stepdaughter, and later on charges he plotted, unsuccessfully, to have his first divorce judge killed. He was acquitted of the murder charges, and the murder-for-hire case ended in a mistrial. The $984,000 total Davis said be received from the 102-company conglomerate Kendavis Industries, which is owned by him and his brother Kenneth W. Davis did not include expense reimbursements, which Davis said ranged from about $2,000 to $6,700 a month.

Testimony also brought out that Davis made cash withdrawals from his personal account at the Fort Worth National Bank last Aug. 10 and 11 totaling $11,000. He was arrested Aug. 20 on charges of murder solicitation and accused of trying to pay a hired killer $25,000 to kill Judge Joe Eidson. The Aug.

10 and 15 withdrawals were not brought out during Davis' murder- for-hire trial in Houston last year: prosecutors said the "hit" money came from other sources available to Davis.
