ECO -C II ROM CL Guard begins hearings late Friday into the Russian cause of the collision. Rescuers Recover 22 Bodies From River Twenty-two bodies were recovered from the ferryboat George Prince before it was refloated Thursday, but authorities said dozens may be entombed in their cars at the bottom of the Mississippi River, Officials, who feared as many as 100 persons may have died, said at least another 56 persons were missing. Only 18 passengers survived the collision Wednesday between the ferryboat and a Norwegian tanker. The Coast Mistrial Declared In Bolles Murder Superior Court Judge Frederic Heineman declared a mistrial on grounds of "massive prejudicial publicity" in the case of John Adamson, who is charged with killing investigative reporter Don Bolles. Heineman cited the public comments of Maricopa Cunty Attorney' Donald Harris, who said while jury selection was going on -murder charges were near against a half- dozen other persons in the car-bomb slaying.

He ordered a new trial by Dec. 20, then dismissed the 75 remaining prospective jurors. Continue Protest Wearing yellow Star-of-David cutouts, 30 Soviet Jews who want to emigrate to jsrael resumed a week-long sit-in at a government building Friday and demanded the release of four of thesr leaders. A spokesman for the Jews, Anatoly Scheransky. said they drafted a three-point letter to the Supreme Soviet (Parliament) and the Communist party Central Committee outlining their grievances.

The letter, which Scheransky said they will, try to deliver to the Centra! Committee building, demanded the release of the four Jews arrested Thursday night, punishment for auxiliary police who they say beat up 12 Jews Tuesday, and an explanation of a reported statement by the interior minister that he could not guarantee their safety. Climber Studies Altitude A physician member of the successful bicentennial expedition to Mt. Everest said Friday he is studying the effects of high altitude on the human brain. "At 18.000 feet you're roughly half as smart as you are at sea said Dr. Dee Crouch, 33, of Boulder, Colo.

Although Crouch reached a height of 26,400 feet, he was not a member of the two-man assault team which scaled the peak two weeks ago. Board Considers Delay Proposal As Withdrawal From through Fleming, submitted a written request to board chairman Harry Provence two days before the meeting asking for a postponement in consideration of the TWU proposal. However, the coordinating board interpreted the TWU request as a move for withdrawal of the proposal, TWU officials, while maintaining they were only requesting a postponement, have been forced to accept the action as a withdrawal. The university can resubmit its proposal to the coordinating board. But Fleming said the timetable for such a move is unknown.

"UK JUST don't know" when the medical school plan will be resubmitted to the coordinating board, the vice president said after the Thursday meeting. "The regents have not reached a decision." The tack of communication concerning TWU's request to postpone its presentation before the coordinating board is not the only matter causing school leaders to take another look at their medical school proposal and the timing of its submission. The coordinating board staff last Friday reported to the board their findings that the state does not need additional medical schools. The staff report presented by Kenneth Ashworth, commissioner of higher education was complemented by a similar report from a representative of the Texas Medical Association. BELIEVE that creating a ninth medical school in Texas would almost certainly compete with and detract from expansion plans and residency Ashworth said in submitting his report.

TWU officials, anticipated the matter would not be discussed by the coordinating board and therefore had made no preparations to present their proposal. Provence told the Record-Chronicle two days before the Friday meeting "They (TWU) asked to be on the agenda and if they want off we'll surely oblige them." The board chairman also told TWU officials their request to not be included on the Oct. 15 agenda would be granted. But a I the meeting the matter appeared I'irsl on the agenda with only one side making a presentation. AS President Dr.

Mary Evelyn Huey said after the meeting: "They held a debate with only one side." TWU submitted its request to postpone the medical school consideration with an eye to gaining additional time to work on a possible joint effort with North Texas State University and the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine (TCOM) in sharing a site and certain facilities in Fort Worth. Such a plan, which has attracted the support of Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby. Speaker of the House Bill Clayton and other legislators, could provide for a TWU medical school component and TCOM sharing streets, parking lots, security, 1'ood services, auditoriums and perhaps dormitories, among other operations, in a cost-saving effort.

TWU HAS submitted a written request to A. M. Willis, chairman of the NTSU Board of Regents, for a joint site feasibility study of the sharing plan. But sources close to the situation say "NTSU isn't going to play" and add the "won't cooperate in the study unless ordered to do so by the legislature or coordinating board." Continued From Page One validation of the signatures. AH names must be those of qualified voters, the city charier states.

CAST APRIL'S municipal election, held in conjunction with the controversial wet-dry election, brought out a record 7.255 voters, making slightly more than 1,800 signatures necessary on any official referendum petition. But city council members state it will be hard for them to ignore a petition with a substantial number of names, regardless whether it meets legal requirements. Mrs. Nash's efforts are a continuation of the attempt her husband made to convince his council colleagues to hire a consultant firm. Nash feels electric consumers would be better -off if a private utility company took over local electric service.

He is certain an engineering study would back up his contention. The circulation of the petition comes at a lime when many Denton citizens are receiving the highest electric bills of the year for electric service during August, traditionally the hottest month of the vear. "CONSIDERING the time Fve had to work on it, it (citizen response) is fantastic." Mrs. Nash said. She said she is uncertain when she will turn in the petition to the council.

"The big problem is that I haven't been able to work on it as much as I want to." she said. Even if the proposed consultant study determines the city should keep its municipal electric system, Mrs. Nash says she hopes the study will recommend improvements in the "management of the i i a utilitv." No Top 40 Hit A 17-year-old girl threatened to blow up a local store Thursday morning in an attempt to get 10 record albums. according to Denton police reports.

October 22.1976 Crisis Center 1 Step Closer The Flow Hospital Board of Directors took the first step in establishing a 24-hour crisis center at the hospital Thursday by unanimously agreeing to provide a room and facilities for telephone counseling. And although that proposal was accepted on a 12-month trial basis, board members hesitated to allow the actual admission of mentally disturbed patients, preferring to view that matter as a separate question since "care was in- re not really ready to accept this since there's still somethings we do'n't know about it," said Dr Charles Saunders, board president, referring to legal technicalities and manpower shortages. The board planned to take up the matter again at its November meeting after more research had been done.

In other action. Dr. Saunders, vice president John Carter and secretary-treasurer Al Testa were unanimously reelected to their posts for another term.
