2-THE NEWS, Port Arthur, Texts Thursday, January 15,1976 ADA balks at preference vote HAtlOMAI WIAIHII MtVICI KHOSI I. 7 A I SI I 1 A presidential campaigns of former Gov. Jimmy Carter and former Sen. Fred Harris urged members of the local Americans for a i A i chapter to support their candidates Wednesday night, but the group balked at taking a formal vote of preferences. A third option support of an uncommitted slate of delegates to the state's May 1 primary received strong support from many speakers.

Karen Friend urged ADA members not to support an uncommitted slate, saying that uncommitted delegates always receive the least of votes in primaries. Ms. Friend and her husband, Liberty County Judge Harlan Friend, spoke in favor of Carter. Morris Bogdanow, a a representing Harris at the meeting, said that voting for an uncommitted slate of delegates is like "signing a blank check" in that the voter has no control over who the delegates will support. Others, however, said an uncommitted slate would insure the liberal voter of some representation if Carter, Harris or others "of the same ilk" do not make it to the Democratic national convention.

ADA Chairman Leon Stertz explained after the meeting that many persons speaking for an un- committed slate represent presidential candidates who will not be running in the Texas primary such as Rep. Morris Udall and Sen. Birch Bayh. Three delegates from this Senatorial district -which includes Jefferson, Orange, Liberty, and Chambers will be sent to the state Democratic convention and will vie for places at the national convention. Those delegates will be listed on the May ballot as either being committed to a particular candidate or uncommitted.

A petition to put a slate of delegates on the ballot must be submitted to the Texas Secretary of State by February 2, Stertz said, and requires 516 names. During Thursday night, rain is likely along the north Pacific coast. Snow is indicated for parts of the upper Plains and Ohio valley area, changing to rain along the eastern slopes of the central Appalachians. Elsewhere, mostly fair weather should prevail. Minimum temperatures include: (approx.

School cooling on schedule John Oden to head Council on Aging From page 1 approach. The releasing of plans as approved is designed to give the contractors plenty of time to bid and not be burdened with bidding on 11 schools all at once. Contractors will be able to bid the total package, groups of similarly-built schools, or individual schools when the bidding takes place.

Galewsky said he Was "so glad" trustees after encountering overestimate bids on most of the secondary cooling projects had decided to wait and bid all elementary schools together. The original plan was to bid groups of similarly built schools as plans were completed. 'There's a much, much more favorable market," Galewsky told the board. The cooling was financed by the $6.9 million May 1973 bond issue. Reporting on progress of the secondary schools cooling under construction, Galewsky listed percentages of completion based on what the contractor has been paid.

Completion percentages are Jefferson, 90 per cent; Austin, 85 per cent; Edison, 80 percent; and Wilson, 78 per cent. The plans approved Wednesday for Carver and Wheatley provide for individual condensing units on the roofs with fan coil units in each space to be cooled, the engineer explained. The plans afford no heating for the similarly- constructed schools except in the Wheatley office where the present duct system presented conflicts, Galewsky explained. The question of not cooling the main interior hallway in Carver's main building was resolved by trustees Wednesday. It will be cooled.

In reviewing preliminary plans last month, trustees questioned the recommendation of engineers and architect not to directly cool the hallway due to expense involved. Trustees had indicated they felt the hallway should be cooled. Galewsky Wednesday said the hallway could be cooled through rooftop units at a cost of $5,000. It is included in the final plans approved Wednesday, Trustees convened in executive session again for one and one-half hours following the meeting but no decisions were rendered, Miami News editor named publisher of Austin paper MIAMI (UPI) Jim Fain, Editor of the Miami News, has been named Publisher of the American-Statesman in Austin, and Howard Kleinberg will replace Fain as Editor of the News, Cox Enterprise officials announced Wednesday. NEDERLAND John Oden of Port Arthur was elected chairperson of the Regional Council on Aging Wednesday in the advisory committee's regular monthly meeting.

Ms. Willia Johns of Silsbee was named cive- chairperson. In a brief meeting members reviewed a quarterly report on agencies which provide services to the elderly in Hardin, Jefferson, and Orange Counties. South East Texas Regional Planning Commission staff member Jim Robb, who advises the committee, noted that a transportation project for the elderly in Orange County may show a $7,000 excess after books are closed on the project year which ended in December. Robb noted that the money would be available to put into other transportation projects in the area or into other categories of programs.

Such categories include information and referral outreach, and homemaker services. Ms. Johns asked that some of the money be made available to Hardin Helping Hands of Kountze which conducts a number of programs for the elderly. The council will discuss allocation of the money at its meeting in February. The group also reviewed a draft "cooperative agreement" between the planning commission and social agencies which contract for programs for the elderly.

The agreement has been developed over several months because of difficulties in obtaining information and in evaluating performance under contracts. Representatives of the contracting agencies and the planning commission will meet at 2 p.m. February 2 to discuss the agreement. Union members beseigeplant HOUSTON I About 300 union members, protesting the hiring on non-union construction workers, beseiged a chemical plant for four hours Wednesday, setting several small fires, overturning a crane and blocking nearby streets.

Rep. John D. Dingell's subcommittee on energy and power is looking into how the FPC develops its decisions on natural gas prices and supplies and the Michigan Democrat called as witnesses three experts who do that kind of work.

Lundy Wright, chief of the Pipeline and Producer Rates Division of the FPC Bureau of Natural Gas, said he, Blair Stover, and Louis J. Engel prepared a recommendation last year for increased federal ceilings on natural gas prices. Wright said that at the end of their study, they concluded the ceiling on natural gas prices should be in a range of 61 to 69 cents per thousand cubic feet instead of the current level of 52 cents per thousand cubic feet. Wright said Frank C. Allen, head of the Bureau of Natural Gas.

reviewed the study and found it a a A drafted his own recommendations, suggesting $1.04 for an average gas price, an increase of 100 percent. Allen told the committee i i a overlooked the impact of new tax laws. Allen also said he invited Wright to submit a separate report but Wright declined. Under questioning by Dingell, Allen said that when he drafted his own study he did not have in- a i a companies about how new tax laws would affect them. While Dingell studied gas price regulators, Rep.

Jack Brooks. released a study Wednesday by the General Accounting Office on the consumer effect of having no regulation. The GAO said the withdrawal of federal controls from natural gas prices would "add $75 billion to the energy costs of United States consumers by 1935 without providing any guarantee of increased production." But the report said the a a i i continuing regulation that is sure to involve higher prices, and bringing intrastate gas under federal regulations.

A strapping, white-haired Georgian known for his flashy clothes and country manner, Usery is an expert mediator who nonetheless lacks Dunlop's stature as an economist. The onetime welder has been head of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service since 1973 and a presidential assistant since 1974. Usery, who was unavailable for comment, indicated previously he would jump at a chance to be labor secretary.

Some top labor sources even expect him to resign if he is passed over again, as he was a year ago when Ford tapped Dunlop. lyes said Usery was his "No. 1 candidate no matter whether I'm on the list of not."
