A (ballu-sKiu patly Kdue THURSDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 19.1972 O'Connell School Board Approves BHS Choir Concert Tour Of 4 Europe Nations By HELEN SMITH NEWS STAFF WRITER A Ball High School Choir concert tour of four European countries this spring was approved by the Galveston school board Wednesday, with the understanding that the choir raise its own money for the trip. The 10 day trip is scheduled for the spring holiday and would involve approximately 40 students. The cost is expected to be $580 per student, including the insurance and passport expenses, and would total over $20.000. The tour includes points in 72 Said Critical (Continued From Page 11 who has held the Senate post since 1961.

"For every great social and economic program in the past 11 years he has been on the side of those voting'No'," Sanders said. He also said Sen. Tower is a "fellow who has fought every piece of equal rights legislation since John Kennedy." Sanders said his opponent does not "represent the people of Texas" and displays it by his rate of absenteeism. He charged Tower was absent "47 per cent of the time in 1967; 37 per cent of the time in 1968; 22 per cent of the time in 1969 and 45 per cent of the time in 1970." He said Tower voted against Medicaid, vocational education and technical training, a new minimum wage, and medical research funds. "I favor all of these," he said, adding, "1 suppose it's easy to see why he voles against full financial disclosures.

He's collected $63,000 in speaker's fees in the past year." Sen. Schwartz, who is being challenged by Republican Jim Nelson of League City, said, "What the leigslature needs is clean minds and dirty fingernails, and if 1 could get the mind of my opponent out of the gutter long enough to discuss some of the real issues, I'd pick his mind like a boiled crab." Library Tax Hike Proi The Galveston Charter Review Commission Wednesday recommended that a charter amendment increasing the tax assessed for Rosenberg Library be presented to the voters. The present city charter authorizes allotment of up to 5 cents per $100 of assessed valuation for the library. The commission recommends that the charter be changed from 5 cents to 10 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. It was pointed out at the Wednesday meeting that the city council is not required to give the library the full 5 cents.

Presently the library is receiving 3.2 cents per $100 assessed valuation. Spokesmen for the library said that if the public backed the increase for the library the city council would be more inclined to increase the library allotment. Greatest number of honorary degrees awarded to any individual was 85, given to Herbert Clark Hoover, former U.S. president. Holland.

Luxemburg. France and Germany. Choir Director Leonard Gilbert said 21 parents have pledged $7,400 of the costs. He said the choir and parents will be seeking community support in their efforts to raise more funds. The school board also approved an application to' the Texas Education Agency seeking some $200.000 for a Career Education Program, a project to integrate the teaching of positive attitudes.

about job holding systemwide. The local district would be responsible for 10 per cent of this cost. Supt. Eli Douglas said this would be a pilot program, possibly unique in the state. The board instructed the staff to continue to monitor the work of the Galveston Alternative School Program, an experimental school for children who haven't succeeded in the traditional school setting and conducted under supervision of the Galveston County Mental Health Mental Retardation Association.

Approximately 25 children are involved. The alternative school was begun this summer under the leadership of several VISTA workers, and this fall was taken over as a program, a representative of the school explained. Dr. L. A.

Morgan, assistant superintendent for the school district and a member of the mental health board, recommended that the board permit the administration to continue to cooperate with and observe the alternative school, even though that school isn't affiliated with the Galveston Independent School District. Several school board members were hesitant to give even an implied endorsement of the school, saying they were uncertain of the leadership there, but they voted to permit the monitoring after recommendations by several GISD staff members. The advertising for bids for paving the area south of the Ball High South building was approved by the board. Both concrete and asphalt will be considered and the area will be divided for physical education, drill units and parking. Mrs.

Ray Schaper said she knows of a number of cars which were damaged by hitting the huge holes in the muddy area. Gus Loomis commented there is need for a security officer in this parking area. He said there have been several vehicle pedestrian accidents and traffic problems. Purchases totalling $8,337 for furniture for the new Guidance Center and $8,339 for band equipment and instruments were authorized, upon administrative recommendation to accept the low bids in all cases. The lone bid of 3-R Hart Construction said to be the general contractor for construction of the new Guidance Center west of the administration building, was accepted for the installation of interior partitions in the Guidance Center.

The bid was $14.226 and said to be in line with estimates and budget allocations. The center is being built with a loan against delinquent tax collections. Board president Douglas McLeod abstained from the vote on the 3-R bid. The 3-R Trust, the successful bidder on the Guidance Center general contract, has been described as a trust for the benefit of the children of Galveston financier Robert Moody, brother in law to McLeod. The motion to accept the bid was made by John Lee Brown and seconded by Gus Loomis, then approved by board majority.

In the closing minutes of the Wednesday meeting, Loomis asked why the Ball High School homecoming bonfire and dance have been scraped for this year. Supt. Douglas replied the bonfire has become "rougher each year" for a number of years and resulted in incidents not favorable to the school. Several board members said ecology minded groups oppose the open burning. When Loomis then turned his attention to the homecoming dance, Bill McRae suggested Loomis was out of order discussing an item not on the board agenda.

The board then agreed to adjourn. The O'Connell High School board of trustees will hear a number of committee reports at its regular 7 p.m. meeting today in the junior campus library. Committee reports will be on budget and audit, property, scholarships, by laws and policies, curriculum and excellence, and funds and development. The meeting is open to interested persons.

all Suspect Testifies In Rape Trial Here (Continued From Page 1) last week. That trial was set for Tuesday. Cauley, who had been subpoenaed by the defense but until Wednesday had not been called for testimony, told the eight man, four woman jury he agreed to testify after his attorney, George Martin, told him Criminal Dist. Atty. Jules Damiani offered to change his charge to assualt with intent to FBI Probes Deal (Continued From Page 1) received a negative response but was told to write a letter to NASA, and it would be forwarded to the man.

No response has been made to the letter, but White received a visit from McAlvoy. He suggested that White retain the items in his possession and said an investigation would be made of the case. In the meantime, White read about a man in Houston who has a bolt from an Apollo mission, and the man is trying to trade the bolt for a late model Cadillace. "If a bolt is worth $3,000, what are these experimental items worth?" White began to wonder. "The man who traded these things was obviously a very educated man, and I don't think he would have jeopardized his posiition for so little," White commented.

He also pointed out that the trade transaction was made in 1970, and circumstances were different then before Apollo XV. In addition, he referred to the inscription bearing the man's name on both items. "If he had been bringing in something illegal, he sure wouldn't have had his name plastered all over it," he added. White feels the items were tokens of appreciation given to the official for his efforts on the Gemini VII experiment. Such sourvenirs have been common throughout the space flight, he said.

McAlvoy disagrees that the items in question are of the same nature as the bolt in Houston and other souvenirs given by astronauts. "The facts are completely differnet," he said. "This is technical information and it also includes books and tapes." Connection with the Apollo XV is not a definite facotr in the case according to McAlvoy. "I don't know whether things have cracked down since Apollo XV, but I think this case would be the same if the Apollo misssion had never been flown." In his 10 years as an inspector for NASA, McAlvoy said this is the first case he has investigated involving items of this nature.

The approval also required that legal and technical details will be worked out by attorneys and engineers from the two cities. Mayor Emmett Lowry reported to the commission on his trip to Dallas earlier this week to seek information on the federal revenue sharing plan.

"We will have to work out a program for what we will do with the money." Lowry said he was told that Texas City should receive payment for the first six months of the year by the first of November. The second payment for the final six months will be made in January. "We tried to get a precise formula," Lowry said trying to explain the method for distribution to various cities, but the group was told the information is all compiled and decided by a computer. Factors involved in the plan, he said, were based on census figures for 1970 for population, general tax effort, apportionment of tax to income of the general population, and general income of the population. A pre determined amount is paid on a pre determined date, he was told, and separate accounting will be required to show intent and final use of the (yndj.

In other action, the commission approved rezoning of a tract at Fifth Ave. North and Seventh St. for apartments. In the face of opposition from residents in Amburn homesites, another request was denied for rezoning the 8100 block of Monticello Drive for general business.

An ordinance was approved declaring the necessity for street improvements on several sections of streets in Texas City.

YOUTH INJURED Donald Howard Biggs, 16, of Dickinson was hospitalized late Tuesday afternoon after police said he lost control of the car he driving and flipped over. Police said the youth was 'traveling north on the Gulf Freeway when the accident occurred at the intersection of the Freeway and Deals Road.

rape and recommend that the court assess his punishment at six years in prison. Defense attorney Richard Thornton strenously objected to Cauley's testimony and asked for a mistrial, but was overruled. Later in the day, Damiani also succeeded in having the court accept a statement Cauley made to Capt. J. D.

Irwin of the Galveston County Sheriff's Department. The statement, taken about two days after the alleged rape, said Redis entered the woman's home, forced her into a back room and raped her. Thornton's objections to the statement also were overruled and Damiani read the text to the jurors. During questioning by Damiani, Cauley said he was driving on Hill Street in Dickinson when Redis flagged him down and suggested they drive to Hitchcock to see Redis's girlfriend. Cauley said they went to a lounge but decided to turn around.

They passed the woman's house, he said, and Redis told him to go back, he added. "He asked me to turn around and go back to the house," Cauley, dressed in a navy blue blazer, red tie and pants, said. "He (Redis) said he wanted to ask about some land," Cauley said. Cauley said he stayed in his red Volkswagen while Redis went to the front door. The motor was running, he said, and he was unable to hear what the two were saying.

"I saw her pass a sheet of paper to Willie Redis. He pushed her into the house and she screamed." Cauley said he backed out of the driveway, started toward downtown Hitchcock, but turned around and went back to the house. He got out of his car, he said, and knocked at the front door, then went to the rear of the wooden house. "I saw the little girl (the woman's three year old daughter) come to the back door," he said. "She said, 'Please help my mommie'.

After she said that I rushed into the house." He said he saw Redis holding and "stradling" the woman. The little girl followed him into the front room, Cauley said, and then he returned to back room. Damaini asked him, "What did you see then?" He replied: "He (Redis) had his clothes off, was staddling her and performing sex." Cauley said he then went into the room, but said he did not molest the woman. "No, I did not touch her." He said he and Redis left the house, went to the J. C.

Penney's Store in Texas City where Cauley charged some clothing with a charge card allegedly taken from the woman's purse. Thornton, on cross examination, told Cauley to face the jury and tell them all he had said was "Jury, everything I've said her today is absolutely true," Cauley said. Cauley denied that he ransacked the house and said there was nothing physically wrong with Redis. After a short recess, Thornton stood Cauley and Redis side by side, facing the jury. He asked Cauley why he and not Redis went inside the Penney's store, "He told me to go in there and get something so I wouldn't say anything about it," Cauley answered.

Thornton also asked Cauley's attorney several questions, then drew testimony from Mrs. Ralph Taubin; Redis' 11 year old step daughter; and Mrs. Claudine Redis, the common law wife of the defendant. After the attorneys resolved a debate over admission of medical records, both sides rested their cases. Thronton asked for an instructed verdict of not guilty and renewed his request for a mistrial, but Judge Green overruled both defense motions.

TrafficPlanQiangesRecommended By LINDA WESTERLAGE SKWSSTAFF WRITER The Galveston planning director has recommended some major changes in the proposed city traffic plan which was developed by the city traffic director and is recommended by the Galveston Traffic Advisory Commission. Ernie Reid, planning director, has made his alternate recommendations to the planning commission for consideration. His recommendations primarily involve the central business district.

The planning commission will make a recommendation to the city council. The city council will later hold a public hearing before voting on the matter. The plan recommended by the traffic commission includes changes to Braodway including the closing of 21 cross streets by extending the median, cutting left turn lanes into the esplanade and removal of some traffic signals. Also included is the recommendation that The Strand and Mechanic and Avenues 0 and be converted into one way streets. Seven east west streets and nine north south streets would be designated through streets under the plan.

Reid, who admitted he was not a traffic engineer, made three recommendations concerning one way streets. He said his recommendations were based on his experience as a planner. He suggested one way street at 26th Street be relocated to 27th Street. He also suggested the one way streets now located on 22nd and 24th Streets be changed to 21st and 23rd Streets. His third recommendation is that the one way streets proposed for Avenues 0 and be extended west to terminate at Avenue instead of at 53rd Street as planned.

The changing of 21st and 23rd Streets to one way streets in the downtown area has been suggested on numerous occasions. Nadon said that on each occasion the plan was met with strong obejctions from the bus company and many downtown businessmen. The traffic director say the recommendations now made by the planning director were among the many things considered by his department before it came up with the plan which has been approved by the traffic commission.
