The favorite summer sport of Amarillo thugs appears to be beating and robbing young airmen, if recent events are any indication.

Amarillo police within the past week and a half have arrested and charged five young men with robbery by assault. Most of the victims were attacked while leaving bars or while walking in darkened areas of downtown streets. young men all with prior criminal records were arrested last week and were found to be operating in collusion with their girl friends. The girls also with criminal records, including one on adult would lure the victims to a specified area where (he four men would then do the dirty work and all six would split the profits. Police believe they have the situation under control, but are advising potential victims to be careful and not to resist if attacked.

The girl, attractive 18-year- old Helen Cooper, said she was notified earlier in the week by the Odessa. Junior Chamber of sponsors of the contest here, that she: would probably aot be eligible to compete.

The state pageant director, Harold Plemons 1 of Fort Worth said Miss Cooper's race had nothing to do with the disqualification. "It brought to my at- tenHon that Ihe young, lady tattoo marks en her person and Miss Texas Pageant doesn't accept any girl i markings of any type on her body," Plemons told the Associated Press. He- said tattoos are also a basis for disqualification from (he Miss America Pageant. The girl's race hasn't got anything to do with it," he said. "There are colored girls all over the nation who are participating (in pageants)." Miss Cooper, contacted by lone, said she wasn't surprised at the action.

I "I don't feel bad about it i hecause being a Negro I could have expected anything to 1 happen," she laid. "This was not really raw deal. This was a good basts for dis- i qualification."

The AMA's delegates turned back nine resolutions Irom eighl slates and one individual doctor that would have urged nonpar- licipalion in Ilic proposed Medicare plan, lo provWc health care for thc aged through Social Security.

Meanwhile, in Washington. the Senate Finance Committee oy a 12-5 vote cleared away the last apparent hurdle in Congress for (lie Medicare bill, which is now expected to pass the Senate in July.

In the accepted AMA resolution, the 23-1 nolicymaking doctors said, "It is each individual physician's obligation 0 decide for himself whether the conditions of a case for which he is about to accept responsi.

A predicted floor fight between proponents of the boycott proposals and those who resisted their motions failed to develop in true form al- lliough several compromising and qualifying amendments were offered from the floor anrt at times discussion was lively. One doctor called Ihc Medi- care situation "a fight for our lives." Anolhcr questioned whether the AMA could presume to direct any individual doctor in the performance of his duties. In the resolution, the AMA pledged physicians "lo continue Ilieir search and activity, in whatever social environtnenl may develop, lo secure or to re- slorc thc freedom, high quality and availability of medical care which has been traditional in our country."
