CASKEY (Special to The Town Talk) TTZ jBllf Hi 1RF vr -f II Hargrove Case Set for Monday The once-delayed hearing on motions filed in a Pineville anonymous telephone call case will be held Monday at 10 a.m., the district attorney's office said today. The case involves a Pineville man, Adrian Wilson Hargrove, charged by the district attorney's office with making an anonymous, malicious phone call to the home of Pineville Mayor Floyd Smith Jr.

Originially, Hargrove's lawyer Glenn Reynolds had sub-poened Smith, Pineville Chief of Police Leo Michiels and Charles Martin, security officer for South Central Bell Telephone Co. However, clerk of courts Betty DeKeyser today said that Martin would not be re-sub-poened. She indicated that other persons would be subpoened later, but did not know who. Controversy has surrounded the case since Hargrove allegedly made the telephone call last December 4. The case has not yet come to trial, and Reynolds filed motions asking "to suppress and for other alternative relief," in April.

If the motions are not accepted, Hargrove will go on trial at a later date. (Town Talk Staff Pnoto) Noland, A. Brown Moore of New Orleans, Rev. Robert C. Witcher of Baton Rouge, Ann Barnum of New Orleans, Mrs.

Lafourche Voters Reject Sales Tax THIBODAUX, La. (UPI)-La-fourche Parish voters turned down a proposal Tuesday to boost the sales tax from three cents to four cents in rural areas of the parish.

The voters split 7,028 to 813 against the measure. Currently, unincorporated areas of the parish pay a three cent sales tax while municipalities have a four cent sales tax.

"There have been some agonizing failures," Bishop No-land said, "As well as some big successes.

We must keep showing interest." One of the successes, Bishop Noland said, is the youth center on Esplanade Ave. in New Orleans. The center received a grant from the urban program and is in good shape to receive more, he said. "We can either fight for what we believe in," Bishop Noland said, "or we can pack and go home.

Brown Moore and Joseph L. Hargrove. In addition, three other delegates will attend from the Diocese of Louisiana. They are Mrs. A.

Brown Moore of New Orleans, president of the Women of the Church, Dr. Jacob T. Stewart of Grambling College, a representative of a minority group, and Ann Barnum of St. James Episcopal church in Baton Rouge, who will represent the youth of the state. The three special representatives may be allowed to attend the sessions but will not be able to vote.

One of the issues before the convention, however, Bishop Noland said, was whether the special representatives would be allowed to attend any of the sessions. "That will be the first hot debate," Jahnke said. The inclusion of special representatives in the delegations is the "thing that has caused sparks to fly," Bishop Noland said. "The Presiding Bishop decided he would ask the extra people to come," he continued, "and the first item of business is to vote on an agenda. It is possible that convention delegates will vote the Bishop down," he said, "and the special representatives would not be allowed to attend any sessions." "I think the racial issue can safely be laid to rest," the bishop said, "As far as the church goes, anyway.

The discussions will probably move into a wholly different realm violence vs. non-violence," he predicted. Affiliations Discussed Church members attending the meeting here Tuesday dis cussed their views on membership in the National Council of Churches, the proposed Episcopal Clergy Deployment System, new marriage canons, and the continued trial use of the liturgy. The deployment system, Bishop Noland explained, will be a central source of information on priests throughout the' nation who are seeking a new parish. The computer service would provide statistical information on a priest who wants to move and would allow a vestry to check more thoroughly on a man before he is hired.

GM By Elizabeth Roberts (Town Talk Staff Writer) Issues to be voted on special general convex the Episcopal church to bt A in South Bend, were dis cussed here Tuesday at a meeting at St. James Episcopal church. The session was attended by Coadjutor Bishop Iveson B.

No-land, other delegates to the con vention and representatives of churches from throughout the state. The purpose, Bishop No- land said, was to allow rectors and vestrymen to question the delegates about the proposals to be presented before the convention. The convention will be held Aug. 30 through Sept. 5.

Two Al exandrians, Rev. Robert E. Ratelle of St. James Episcopal church and Joe D. Smith are among the delegates.

Other clerical delegates are Rev. Richard R. Cook, Rev. Robert there was no chance of integrating Northern schools 100 percent and it was hoped that through the integration of Southern schools that Northern schools would change in hte future. Only One Makes Sense Speaking of the legal point of schooling systems, he said, "Legally "freedom of choice" is the only one that makes any sense, but as an educational tool it really doesn't make much sense." He added that under the freedom-of-choice plan it was never known what school the student would choose the next year until May.

However, freedom-of-choice the system that has been employed in Rapides for the past few years was ruled unconstitutional in areas where it did not seem to be working. "This doesn't make much sense to lawyers, but that is what they (the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals) said," he continued. The Appeals court ruled earlier this year that freedom-of-choice was not working in Rapides and in 36 other Louisiana School Districts. Ware said of all areas that were told to come up with a new plan, only Houston was allowed to wait until next year before making changes. He expressed hopes for better working relationships with the appeals court in the future, saying that "two or three" seats are vacant.

He emphasized, however, that he hopes new judges are not blinded beyond the bidding of the parishes. Plan Varies Speaking of the school board plan, approved by the district court, he said it varied from ward to ward. The plan is basically a zoning plan. In Pineville he explained that the zone line was moved to provide better balance. However, students entering their senior year may attend the same school as they did the previous year even if they are now in a different ward.

The normally hour long luncheon was stretched to Vi hours as members asked a continuing stream of questions. Many questions led to what would happen if the students refused to attend the school designated. "I don't know how we are going to force them to go if they won't want to," Ware said. He added that in theory someone could be sent to get the student and parents could be jailed. Maytag dependability moves to the "kitchen.

MAYTAG 2 SPEED WASHER Rapides Parish will probably be forced to accept the Department of Health, Education and Welfare school integration plan if the issue ever reaches the federal court of appeals, Dist. Atty. Ed Ware told the Pineville Kiwanis Club Tuesday. The U.S.

District Court has accepted a plan filed by the Rapides School Board. Ware was guest speaker at the club's regular Tuesday luncheon meeting in the Pineville Community Center. The attorney briefed the Kiwanians on past events that brought the present schooling issue, legality of schooling plans and future prospects. At the conclusion of his tal'k he answered questions from members of the club. The first question was what would happen if the district court's ruling was appealed by HEW? Doubts Appeal "If it is appealed I'm afraid we will be faced with the HEW plan," he said.

Ware added that indications are that HEW will not appeal the decision and that the parish problem is not with HEW but rather that is is with the 5th Circuit of Appeals. "In all fairness to HEW, they didn't really have time to do any kind of job," he said. The HEW plan called for the pairing of students all students certain grades would be pooled at the same school. He added that the pairing plan had only been tested once, but did not elaborate on the results. In reply to an inquiry on the possible outcome of two suits that have been filed on the le gality of proposed plans, he said that they didn't have a chance.

He said one suit accused the school board of something the board had never heard of. His summary of events that led to the present situation was basically the same as all talks given by school board members since the gathering in the Rapides Parish Coliseum earlier this summer. Ware delved more into the schooling system in the South compared with the system in the North. He explained that segregation in Northern schools was the same as in the South, but that only five Southern states were being forced to change schooling systems. He said that Southern laws were alleged to force segregation while In the North schools were segregated by choice of the individuals.

He added that he had heard that at the present LOOKATTHlS, WILMA. 0U LOCAL OLDS DEALER SAYS WE CAN GET A NEW OLDS AT RHALLY BIG SAVINGS RIGHTNCM VERY MICE.
