Swope satisfactory explanations for reasons in committing 25 acts of vandalism in the Northeast Heights. The judge repeatedly asked Bruce Cameron, 16, son of Mr. and Mrs.

Stuart CamerPonderosa NE, and Steven Caldwell, 14, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Caldwell, 6337 Mossman NE, to explain their actions. Cameron is an FBI agent and Caldwell is listed as a post office clerk in the city directory. "I don't know why I did it." replied the Cameron youth in answer to direct questions.

He spoke of not having fun in school and expressed unhappiness about a family difference. Denies Striking Back When the judge inquired how he could trust the youth in the future, young Cameron answered "Because my parents are getting along." The youth denied that he was trying to strike back at his parents with vandalism. Judge Swope asked the elder Cameron if it were not pos-1 sible he was giving more attention to his job with the Federal Bureau of Investigation than to his family. Young Caldwell, asked why the two went the rampage, replied "Well thought it would be fun." The judge told the Caldwells the "experts" couldn't find cause for their son's actions. "You haven't taught him to respect other people's property," he added.

Caldwell and his wife said they could not explain their son's actions. Admit Charges The two, who are cited by juvenile court petitions for behaving in a disorderly fashion, admitted committing about 25 acts of vandalism, which with cars. In addition splashing paint started, on the vehicles and breaking windows, they also are accused of writing obscene statements on the Sandia Nazarene Church, 2801 Louisiana NE, and vandalizing a door at Belvue Baptist Church, 2800 Louisiana NE. Both boys were members of Boy Scout troops until the past year. They sit next to each other in some classes at school.

The Camerons told the judge they thought their son had been doing well in school this year and had been doing more reading. Caldwell said he is passing "most of his subjects." Judge took both cases advisement and Swope, ordered the youths returned to the Juvenile Detention ed Home for testing and observation. Probation Officers. W. H.

(Tom) Cooper and Hinton Kittrell are to counsel with the families, the judge said. The vandalism occurred between Jan. 23 and Feb. 6. The, boys were taken into custody by city police Feb.

Bad Check Suspect Held State Patrolman Jack Johnson late Monday arrested a year -old Albuquerque man who verbally admitted he cashed "about $763" in no-account checks by using a tin deputy sheriff's badge as identification. The suspect was booked into county jail for impersonating an officer. Johnson said the gold-plated badge probably cost "all of 75 cents." "The suspect told me he cashed the checks and purchased pistols and revolvers which he later pawned for cash," the officers said. "He he started cashing the checks Thursday but expects some money from a California bank." Johnson said the man may have purchased as many as 18 guns from local firms.

Over City's Request Little Enthusiasm Shown by Owners By PAUL WIECK I Property owners on Second SW were greeting the city's request that a half dozen large commercial structures be "voluntarily demolished" with something less than enthusiasm Monday. The request was made by A. P. Garland, superintendent of Building and Inspection, in reglistered letters mailed last week. About a dozen buildings in and around the core area a are involved.

The only evidence of ness to comply came from owners of several buildings along Second of them wmnone in the category of major commercial structures. One property ard Hindley, who owns the building at 120 Gold SW openly questioned the city's request. have no! idea what their objections are," he said, adding that "I looked over the building today and outside of some minor repairs, I don't see what's wrong with it." Hindley said he wrote the city Monday asking for "a bill of particulars." His building, a two-story Second French Veto Bars Britain From 'Market' BRUSSELS (UPI)France used its veto a seclond time Monday to dash British hopes of joining European Common Market. Officials new veto probably kill said, then moves permit Britisher members entry. The French opposition came on an obscure legal point but this only served underscore the strength President Charles de Gaulle's feeling that Britain is ready to join the six nation bloc.

Comes Unexpectedly The new French move was made unexpectedly after the Council of Ministers of the common market nations meetling here had switched agenda to avert a head clash with France in the wake "of De Gaulle's original veto of British membership last Jan. 29. At Monday's meeting--first such gathering since the French torpedoed Britain's application, the French delegation said the European Parliament, which meets in Strasbourg, France, had no to ask the market's Council of Ministers to keep up contact with Britain. Assembly Criticized The French also said the Strasbourg assembly had no right to ask the market's ex33-ecutive commission to draw up a balance sheet covering the aborted negotiations on British membership. Such a request had been made by the European Parliament.

The new French challenge came one hour after West German Economics Minister Ludwig Erhard held talks with Council President Eugene Schaus on reviving negotiations with Britain. The timing appeared to be more than coincidental. The French viewpoint was opposed by West Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. The French today will need all their council friends to win support for early tion of a treaty to associate 18 African nations 15 of them former French colonies with the common market. Here Are Names Of Legislators Albuquerque residents in large numbers indicated a desire Monday night to contact their legislative representatives in Santa Fe in connection with Gov.

Jack Campbell's income tax proposals. In order to make this easier the do Journal is listing here the names of Bernalillo County's legislators: In the Senate: Ed V. Mead. In the House: Charles F. Harris, Willis A.

The Journal of at one antitax chain telephone call a call which each person who is called passes on to several of his friends. A steady stream of phone, calls to the Journal office Monday evening brought inquiries from citizens preparing to write their representatives in Santa Fe. Among those seeking names and addresses was one angry man who said: Makes Him Angry "I'm normally a Republican. But both my wife and I voted for Campbell, hoping he'd get things moving. We could go along with a 200-300 per cent income tax increase.

But when Campbell multiplies the rate by five or six it makes me mad." "I say Campbell's a liar," he continued. "Last fall, he said have to meet, at worst, an $8-9 million deficit. Now he's pulled a $23-million spread out of thin air." Donald Birk of 704 Grove NE took a more moderate view. "I try to look at it from two angles," he said. "It is an awful financial problem for a state with a small number of people to try to maintain this huge state.

But this tax boost is sure going to hurt." Many of those contacted said the burden of new taxation should be spread over several revenue sources. Said one man: "I think we should increase the in come tax some and the sales tax some. Also, the liquor business and the racetracks aren't taxed enough." Like many, this resident fe are that the rate increase would make the state an unpopular. place to live, that it would drive away prospective residents and businesses.
