(AP)-Dr. Harold Eidinoff, central figure in a bizarre shooting a decade ago in El Paso, testified Tuesday at his sanity hearing that he was no longer mentally ill.

Eidinoff said here in East Texas at one time he may have been suffering, from mental illness, and hospitalization had long since cured him of any mental affliction. Led through questioning by his attorney, Dr. Willis Jarrell of Tyler, Eidinoff went into long medical explanations of his illness. He said treatment at Rusk State Hospital, where he been confined since 1959, has restored his sanity. Eidinoff, who gunned down El lawyer Ted Andress, as Andress and his through the El Paso airport in 1958, was acquitted by a Lubbock jury by reason of insanity.

Eidinoff repeatedly in the one-and-a-half days of his testimony told the 4-man; 2-woman jury he is of sound mind. He rested his case at noon Tuesday and the court took a two-hour recess. Handling the state's case are El Paso Dist. Atty. Barton ling and Rusk County Prosecutor James Perkins Rusk.

They began their presentation of witnesses at 2 p.m. Neal Pratt of Texas University, George Alston of the Overton Extension Station and Dr. J. L. Sullivan of Srephen F.

Austin State College Agriculture Department. The show is sponsored by the Panola County Chamber of Commerce, the Panola Cattlemen's Association, the Panola County Farm Bureau, the Panola Soil District and the Panola County Program Building Committee. Dr. George B. Tipton, the first prosecution witness, said as he left the stand, "I feel that Dr.

Eidinoff is mentally ill and needs treatment." Tipton, a Rusk general practitioner, said he examined Dr. Eidinoff June 29. He said he found the patient was unable to judge evidence, that he needs continued treatment and that he should remain in the hospital for his and the public's well being. Tipton's testimony lasted one hour and 15 minutes. Meanwhile, Dr.

Eidinoff, a tall, slim, rather handsome man with iron gray hair, shuffled through voluminous notes and often referred to a medical book. He gave the appearance of intense concentration. Dr. Tipton said on cross. examination that Dr.

Eidinoff, in his opinion, was not able to judge evidence, except that which he wanted to believe. He said he believed Dr. Eidinoff needed psychiatric therapy and that he must accept the bility that he may be mentally ill. The El Paso doctor's newest in a long string of freedom bids began two weeks ago. Eidinoff testified at a hearing in Dallas last January that he had instituted 19 separate suits seeking to free himself.

The hearing ended in a mistrial. SCHOOL FALL CASH $25 to $2500 PHONE 422-5704 Hour Service SIGNATURE LOAN: 610 723 Lane Marshall Bldg. St. ALWAYS FIRST QUALITY Reduced thru Saturday!

Poverty War Heads Fired In Rapides ALEXANDRIA-The Poverty War Agency here Tuesday fired its executive director, 0. A. Bankston, and its program development specialist, Fred Williams.

The attack on Bankston was led hey board president, Hall eLBlanc, at a public meeting. Neither Bankston or Williams was permitted to take the floor in their own defense. The action had been expected since last week when LeBlanc and Bankston exchanged charges in public statements.

The official OE0 Agency here is the Cenla Community Action Committee.

The charges against Williams enumerated by Louis Berry, an attorney, were to the effect that Williams had been convicted of assault and battery against his wife. TYLER, Tex.

"It must be a comfort in Hanoi tonight to know we are prepared to sacrifice our advantages," the senator told his audience of about 200 East Texas Republicans.
