League President Bill Hudnut, mayor of Indianapolis, told reporters the proposal would raise local property taxes, cost the federal government billions of dollars and "do nothing at all to fight inflation." He said the certificate expected to get Congressional approval next week is "a misguided and misunderstood bailout of the savings and loan industry" that would lure investors away from tax free- municipal bonds. "That's not true," said a spokesman James Kendall for the thrift industry group, the United Stajgs League of Savings Associations.

Savings League economist Tom Parliment said the city group was using erroneous figures, chiefly its estimate that households buy half of the all new municipal bonds and notes. "That's flat out wrong," said Parliment. His group said government figures put the household share of new bond issues at about 13 percent. Hudnut said the certificate proposal is "the worst kind of a scheme for a free ride and we that when someone rides for free, then someone else will have to pay for it." The league's opposition was the most formidable objection yet raised to the increasingly controversial plan to offer a high interest, tax-subsidized savings certificate to attract new de- posits to the ailing savings and loan industry. The tax-exempt certificate is expected to get final congressional approval next week as part of new tax legislation unless modified by amendments offered on the floor.

It has been half-heartedly opposed by the Federal Reserve Board and the administration. Yet its broad Capitol Hill support forced administration spokesman to promise an otherwise acceptable tax bill would not be vetoed just to kill the certificate. "Unless we stop the stampede to create this new tax-exempt security," warned Hudnut, "there will be a very sober awakening after it's too late to prevent the consequences to the Federal budget and to our cities. Hudnut planned a series of television appearances while League lobbyists blanket the House and Senate finance committees to counter the savings and loan industry's lobbying efforts. There were signs some Capitol Hill backers were having second thoughts.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Robert Dole, has said the certificate "is not perfect provision" and other legislators say they are studying alternatives. The National League of Cities opposition is focused on the tax exempt nature of the certificate, which Hudnut called dangerous and unprecedented departure from public policy regarding the tax code." DAVID CORDOVA, Ed. M.A., R. has been named chairman of the newly reorganized department of -health-related studies in the University of Texas School of Allied Health Sciences. He was officially named to the post in May.

PLANO TACKLE BOXES FOR THE BEGINNER TO THE PRO. 2 WASHINGTON (UPI) Senate Republican leader Howard Baker moved Wednesday to stop a lone- wolf filibuster which has blocked votes on the most sweeping anti-busing legislation ever offered in Congress. Baker introduced a cloture petition, signed only by Republicans, to bring the debate to an end and clear the way for action. Under the rules, the vote will come one hour after the Senate convenes Friday, with 60 votes needed for passage.

Each senator then would still have one hour to speak. Sen. Lowell with only sporadic help from other liberals, began the tactic June 16 but was'interrupted for 10 days by the July 4th recess. His filibuster has been directed at two amendments: first, offered by Sen. Jesse Helms, would prohibit the Justice Department from bringing or pressing desegregation The Galveston Daily News Founded in 1842 Texas' Oldest Newspaper Dedicated to the growth and progress of Galveston and all of Galveston County.

Bennett Johnston, would prohibit the courts from ordering busing more than 30 minutes or 10 miles, and would be retroactive to all such orders already in effect. Should the Senate vote to cut off debate, the Helms amendment, considered relevant to the underlying Justice Department authorization bill, would be voted on. The Johnston amendment would not be in order since it does not affect the Justice Department directly. Only relevant amendment may be considered after cloture has been ordered, Weicker, resuming the filibuster, aimed his attack on the Johnston proposal, which opponents consider much more damaging. He said that even if cloture.is invoked Friday, "That's not going to be the end of it.

"There are those of us on this floor who are going to Miss- Hong Kong is ousted by officials NEW YORK (UPI) Miss Hong Kong was disqualified from the Miss Universe because she lied about her age, pageant officials said Wednesday. Doris Loh, representing Hong Kong in the beauty contest, was 25 years old riot 22, as she had claimed, said Harold Glasser, the president of Miss Universe Inc. Glasser said officials in Hong Kong learned of the age discrepancy when they compared the contestant's pageant application and visa entry permit. He said Hong Kong officials said "additional reasons" were taken into account in deciding to dismiss her, but he did not know what they were. Glasser said pageant representatives in Hong Kong notified him of the disqualification by telegram.

"They discovered that the information she gave them was not correct," said Glasser. "It was the type of misrepresentation that qualified the judges in dismissing her." Glasser said the first runner-up, Irene Lo would be the new Miss Hong Kong and fly to New York Thursday. Most of the 80 contestants from' the four continents are in New York now, preparing for the final round of judging July 20 at the Minskoff Theater. Miss Universe Pageant rules allow contestants to compete up until the age of 26, which would have made Miss Loh eligible at her present age. Deborah Ann Fountain, the former Miss New York state, slated to compete in the Miss U.S.A.

pageant, was disqualified recently: for allegedly padding her swimsuit. Miss Fountain denied she had violated contest rules, claiming many pageant contestants often altered their physical measurements in similar manners. do everything we can to preserve the integrity of the Constitution," he said. "We're not going to be fast and loose with it." He said he wanted to preserve the three branches of government and added, "I don't support senators seeking election trying to tell the courts what they can and can't do." Johnston said, "It has now been writ large around the country the grand experiment has not worked." He said court-ordered busing has not achieved school desgregation but "has resulted in white flight from the schools." i "Busing has gone wrong because it has been abused it has been ordered for too Jong distances, for too much time," Johnston said.
