Atty. Carl J. Melone said Tuesday his office "hoped to diminish the danger in which many postal letter carriers find themselves throughout the city." Melone said the initial case in the crackdown was an indictment handed down Tuesday charging, Robert McKie of Philadelphia with assaulting a mail carrier with a metal pipe. By Calls, Shortages Torch Slaying Probe Slowed By MIKE COX Staff Writer Plagued with "hundreds" of telephone calls and manpower problems, police Wednesday continued their search for the killers of a young Massachusetts couple found shot and torched in City Park Sunday morning. Homicide Lt.

Colon Jordan said he and his men have received "hundreds" of telephone calls from news media representatives across the nation, as well as "'15 or 20" calls a day from local citizens with information concerning the slaying of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Matzilevich. Jordan said in-service police training had left him short of investigators and that overtime personnel were being used in the slaying probe. we're checking everything we get and talking to every reporter that calls." Jordan said Wednesday.

"I think we're going to get somewhere, but I think it will take time." The couple, who had moved to Fort Worth from Massachusetts earlier this year, were found shot near their late model car in City Park about 8:15 a.m. Sunday. The bodies and car had been doused with gasoline and set on fire, Jordan said he had descriptions of persons he would Interior's Pecora Succumbs WASHINGTON (AP) Undersecretary of the Interior William T. Pecora died today at the George Washington University Hospital. He was 59.

Pecora, the No. 2 man in the department, was Secretary Rogers C. B. Morton's chief assistant and acting secretary in the latter's absence. Pecora had undergone surgery for diverticulitis-an intestinal disorder on June 6.

But os st-operative complications developed that required additional surgery. Morton said in a statement that his department and the nation have lost "a singularly taiented and energetic scientist and administrator." "Few men," Morton said, "possessed the leadership qualities which Dr. Pecora showed in the quest for balance and harmony in resource development and conservation."

VET She said her son who arrived at the courthouse with his long hair bunched at the back of his neck and wearing an Army green GI jacket got out of the Army in February 1969. She said since that time he has been a student in El Paso.

Patterson came to Austin last summer. said Nicholas Dykema, another VVAW, and lived with John Kniffin, also charged with conspiracy. Dykema said Patterson had planned to enroll at the University of Texas in the fall. He added, "If he's not the most (decorated), he's certainly one of the most decorated (veterans) in the state." Patterson said he had been awarded seven or eight" military citations. including a Purple Heart for a gunshot wound of the arm and the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeremiah Handy said he would like to have an FBI agent from Tallahassee present for the bond reduction hearing. Two other Austin members of the VVAW were also indicted in connection with the Republican Convention. They are state coordinator Kniffin and Wayne Beverly, VVAW coordinator for Beaumont, Port Arthur and Orange. Beverly faces contempt charges for allegedly refusing to testify before the grand jury.

Indictments accused the antiwar activists of conspiracy to form fire teams designed to attract police and stores during the convention. The indictments said incendiary devices, rockets, fire and other weapons were to have been used in the attacks. Kniffin is still being held in Florida in lieu of a $25,000 bond. Erwin Testifies: Just One Drink By CONNIE SHERLEY Staff Writer BELTON Frank C. Erwin took the witness stand in his own behalf Wednesday and testified that he drank only one scotch and soda during the hours that preceded his arrest on a driving while intoxicated charge last Dec.

19 in Austin. Erwin, a member of the University of Texas Board of Regents, was on the witness stand from 9 a.m. until the court recessed for lunch Wednesday. His testimony traced his activities from the time he arrived in Austin from El Paso about 8 p.m. Dec.

18, until he was released from custody at the Austin Police Department about 1:30 a.m., Dec. 19. Erwin's account of his movements was the same as testimony of eight defense witnesses who took the stand Tuesday. The former Regents chairman said he "had not had any alcoholic beverages at all" until he drank a scotch highball abouut 10:30 p.m., while attending a Christmas party at Tarryhouse, a private social club in 1 West Austin. From Tarryhouse, Erwin said, he went to the 40 Acres Club near UT in search of somone "who would go eat Mexican food with me." He described a meeting with Dr.

Gerald Senter at the 40 Acres Club and told of a conversation in which he discussea he had encountered at UT El Paso during a two-day visit on that campus. "He (Dr. Senter) recommended that I go home and get in bed and stay in bed. It turned out to be good advice," Erwin said. Senter testified Tuesday that he thought Erwin looked "very tired and near exhaustion" during their visit.

Erwin testified that rain had fallen during the time he was in Amarillo Children Test High in Blood Cadmium HOUSTON (AP) Tests have found above normal levels of the metal cadmium in the blood of Amarillo children who attend school near a polluting zine smelter, the Houston Post reported today in a news story from Austin. Dr. Dean Wolback said the closer the schools were to the smelter, the more cadmium his blood samplers found in the children. Wolback, a chemist with the Texas Air Control Board, said like to talk with in connection with the slayings, but Wednesday shied away from the word "suspects" when asked about the descriptions. Tuesday, the lieutenant said the descriptions had come from persons who were in the Park area about the time of the early Sunday double slaying.

"Maybe 'suspects' is not the proper word," Jordan said. "They may be possible witnesses." The lieutenant said there are "quite a few" pieces of evidence" under analysis at Department of Public Safety labs here. He said he expected it to be at least a week before he gets reports back from the lab, which, he said, may "lead to more insight into the why and how" of the case. Many of the telephone calls from members of the news media, Jordan said, were from reporters in Massachusetts who said they had heard arrests had been made in the slayings. "That was a rumor," Jordan said.

Meanwhile, plans were being completed Wednesday for the removal of the bodies of the young married couple back to their home state for burial. A spokesman at Weed-Corley Funeral Home, where the bodies originally were taken, said the bodies would be flown Thursday to Natick, where services will be pending with John Everett and Sons Funeral Home. It was not until Tuesday that final, positive identification of the badly charred bodies was made. The confirmation came through comparisons of dental records and fingerprints, police said. The family of Mrs.

Matzilevich also viewed jewelry found on their daughter, police said. the medical significance of cadmium levels in the children were outside his field. There is little published data, he said, on what level of cadmium in the blood represents a health danger. Charles R. Barden, air board executive secretary, said he would try to get an expert medical evaluation of the Amarillo findings in time for the next air board meeting July 27.

Barden declined to blame the levels directly on the American Question About It' Connally Desires Major Role NEIKIRK WASHINGTON (AP) Treasury Secretary John B. Connally would like play a leading role in economic policy if he returns to public life in a second Nixon administration, some of his associates say. "There's no question about fit. He's facinated by the whole area of international economics. He has definite about it and would like put his stamp on U.S.

policy," said one associate. That means, according to these sources, that Connally would probably prefer the job of secretary of state over vice president. They say the former Texas governor is too restless and dynamic to be vice president, wanting instead to take on a more challenging task if he returns to Washingotn. Although Connally has said he doesn't think he'll be offered the secretary of state post if Nixon is re-elected, he has never ruled out the Child's Death Ups Traffic Toll to 17 The death early Wednesday morning of 2 4-year-old auto-pedestrian accident has brought the city's traffic fatality toll to 17 since Jan. 1- down 10 deaths from the count the same time last year.

Dead is Charles Siepert III, of 804 W. Gibson. He died at 2:45 a.m. Wednesday in the Intensive (Care Unit of Brackenridge Hospital of a severe head injury, officials said. The child was struck by a car in the 800 block of Gibson at 7:08 p.m.

Investigators reported the child was standing with an adult family member when he Insurance File Probe Rule Nixed the club and the streets were "very slick" as he turned onto Guadalupe Street. He said that caliche and dirt had spilled out on Guadalupe Street at the site of the Communications Building construction, SO "I had to be going slowly. The first day of the trial Monday, Austin police that the slow movement of Erwin's automobile was what caught their attention. The regent said he first heard a siren somewhere around 29th and Guadalupe street but couldn't determine where the sound was coming from.

"I supposed it was an emergency vehicle trying to go north on Guadalupe, so I pulled into the parking lot at El Patio. Then I looked back and saw the police car obviously he wanted to talk to me. I was the only person on the parking lot," Erwin said. He described the arresting patrolman Don Martin as "very irritated." He said he showed Martin his drivers license, and the Austin policeman then said, "Mr. Erwin you're under arrest for driving while intoxicated." In describing his appearance at the police department, Erwin said it was "full of people, some obviously under arrest, and general confusion." He said he was told to sit on a bench but had to balance himself because the seat was narrow.

"I didn't need any the regent testified. Defense attorney Roy Minton asked Erwin to describe his state of mind at the police station. "I had been in a state of shock ever since Mr. Martin said I was under arrest in that melee, I was shocked, humiliated and greatly upset. I didn't know if I was going to be locked up or what.

It was not a situation anyone would want to be in if he could avoid it." The state took over examination of Erwin at 10:30 a.m. and attempted to bring out his membership in Austin private clubs. Although Minton objected to the line of question, Erwin insisted on explaining that he uses the 40 Acres Club "as a meeting place with university people and is there "very, very frequently." Defense was expected to call character witnesses Wednesday afternoon. Orange Elects New Mayor ORANGE (AP) Paul E. Hale won election Tuesday as the new mayor of Orange, defeating J.

D. Stanfield by 220 votes. The election drew a better than average turnout of the city's some 12,000 eligible voters. Mayor Bob Whitehead did not seek re-election. Staff Photo by Darl Hyatt NEW PRESIDENT OF CIVITAN INTERNATIONAL Bill Haehnel wants to involve youth Civitan.

President Job Sends Him Round the World: By BRENDA ERWIN an "old establishment-type Staff Writer It's hard to catch Bill Haehnell Jr. these days. One day he may be in Clarksville, the next day in Amarillo and then somewhere in Hawaii or Switzerland. Haehnel has recently been named president of Civitan International (Austin's first such office-holder), and his major duty is to visit Civitan clubs throughout the nation and in several foreign counties for specific occasions such as inter -club meetings and conventions. Stopping briefly at home in Austin between a 50th anniversary celebration of the Clarksville, Civitan Club and a Chamber of Commerce speaking engagement in Amarillo, Haehnel described the changing role of service clubs and his goals as president.

"In the past, service clubs had as projects painting a park bench or planting flowers in the city square, but today Civitan is more concerned about the man who might be sitting on the park bench," said the tall, smiling president. Haehnel says he wants to change the image of the club as it AD HONOREE Loyd Edmonds, right, general manager of Texas Student Publications at the University of Texas since 1956, received the 1972 American Advertising Federation Silver Medal Award at a meeting of the Austin Ad Club Tuesday.

(Staff Photo) Associated Press The Texas Supreme Court ruled today a district court judge cannot force open an insurance company's files to obtain the names of persons whose hospitalization claims were denied because they have been paid by Medicare. The high court nullified an order by Judge Franklin Spears of San Antonio, a former state senator.

Rose Richter sued Commercial Travelers Life Insurance Co. on Dec. 2, 1970, for denying her $370 claim on grounds she already had been paid by Medicare. She brought her suit as a class action in behalf of other policyholders whose claims were denied. At her request, Spears ordered the company on Feb.

24, 1972 to produce records of all claims denied because of Medicare. The Supreme Court found the suit was a true class "There is no right or unity in a common fund. The nature or size of the separate claim of each member of the class does not affect in any way the right of other members of the class. There is no relationship of any nature between the members of this class and Rose Richter," the court said. It added that the only -purpose to be served by opening the company's file "is to obtain the names of potential parties to the end that those persons might be notified and bring themselves into the suit as named parties rather than as unnamed members of the class."

Wolbach said the firm conducted a separate blood sampling of employes and their families, and reported finding cadmium levels in some cases about 10 times as high as those detected by the state in the school children. Wolbach headed an investigating team which took blood samples from 180 school children all 11 years old, at five schools in the Amarillo area. The team was sent to take soil, air and blood samples after 35 children in El Paso were hsopitalized with lead poisoning, blamed on a lead smelter there owned by the same firm. Sentencing In Slaying Upheld Here Associated Press The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals today upheld the 20-year sentence assessed Felipe Segura Palafox in the auto death of a woman in the Brownsville Civic Center parking lot. Mrs.

Elvira Rivera, eight months pregnant, was killed around midnight Sept. 25, 1970 when a car ran over her following an argument after a wedding reception dance. Palafox had been involved in an argument and was behind the wheel of his car when it suddenly gunned, jumped a median strip and struck Mrs. Rivera, witnesses said. A woman witness said she heard Palfox tell the husband "they were going to pay for it because they (Rivera) and another man) had hit him." Palafox denied he intended to (hit anyone, but the appeals court said the evidence was sufficient he was trying to kill Rivera or another man when Mrs.

Rivera was struck. organization" joined only by "people who have made it." "My main goal as president is to involve more younger people and younger ideas in service work," he said. Haehnel, 48, said he was "not at all opposed" to women being involved in organizations that are presently all-male like Civitan. A 14-year member of the club, with a record of 12 years perfect attendance, Hachnel says he is involved with Civitan primarily "to help those people who, for various reasons, cannot help themselves." Civitans throughout the world are involved in assistance to the mentally retarded and physically handicapped. The local club provides social activities for special education students, and several members serve on both the Austin and Travis state school volunteer councils, said Haehnel.

They also provide college scholarships for selected school seniors, work with youth in citizenship programs and sponsor the Boys Club of Austin, he said. Besides attending important functions of Civitan clubs throughout the world, this year, Haehnel says he has been asked to be a float judge in the Rose Festival Parade in Pasadena, a featured speaker at the Girl Scouts National Convention in Dallas and one of the judges in the All-American Family Search" a nationally contest scheduled for Labor Day Weekend among numerous other obligations. Haehnel is the sixth person in the history of the Austin Civitan Club to be awarded the Club Honor Key and one of only two to be honored with Life Membership, the second in the club's 25-year history. He has been an international vice president and an international director; and now, as president, he says he has already received "a whole room full of keys to the city and plaques." And he's only served less than a month in the job. Marine Attack Plane Crashes TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif.

(AP) A Marine Corps attack jet plane crashed while simulating a close air support mission during a training exercise. The plane's two crewmen were killed, six Marine reservists taking part in the exercise on the ground were injured. Details were not immediately available late Tuesday. COED (Continued From Page One) possibility that he would take it if offered. Connally developed a strong interest in international economics soon after Nixon stunned the nation by naming him treasury secretary in late 1970.

He was instrumental in the first devaluation of the dollar since 1934, spoke bluntly to U.S. allies of a new day in economic relations in which America would have to look more after its own interests, and negotiated a new system of currency exchange rates. But Concally felt the job was unfinished, his associates said, particularly since many trade barriers to American products remained in foreign countries. And, then, there is still the uncompleted job of structuring a new world monetary system. Connally's associates around the Treasury Department say hte Texas Democrat would love to tackle the bureaucracy at the State Department and put his own imprint on policy there.

They view things from this perspective: Relations between countries are expected in the future to be more economic than military, yet the State Department has failed to adapt to this reality. Connally, in fact, bruised some feelings at the State Department when, as Treasury secretary, he openly suggested that the United States was ill equipped to meet an international economic crisis such as the one that struck in 1971. Policy should be more centralized and not SO fragmented among different agencies, he said. Buttressing the belief that Connally may want the State Department was his recent around-the-world trip for President Nixon. He visited 17 nations.

"The theme of the trip was economic," said one official. Connally stressed one idea in his visit. He said the United States could no longer continue the kind of massive aid to countries that it did after World War II. It is time for other nations to recognize this reality, he said. His associates say they have no inside information on what sort of deal, if any, that President Nixon and Connally have.

Connally has supported Nixon's re-election and says he will try to rally Democrats for him. They add, however, that Nixon didn't send Connally on the world vide tour just for sightseeing, or just as a payoff for his service as head of the Treasury Department. "He really worked on that trip," said one source. "It was very decided TV cameras and newsmen were "part of my obligation. I just had to take it in stride." She was so busy she didn't even manage 10 meet McGovern, but.

she's convinced that will be changed soon. "He was as busy as heck." Miss Valentine describes herself as a product of a "completely apolitical, solid silent-American majority family." "I didn't realize there was anything else until I was a senior in high school." she remembers. Then she enrolled in some government classes that changed her outlook. "I became aware that I couldn't just stand around and be a member of silent majority." Although she is a University of Texas student, Miss Valentine does not believe she is representative of students or that there is such a thing as a "student political force." She says the UT campus contains all the same elements that any community has from ultra-liberal. to ultra-conservative.

If there is, indeed, any difference, it is the fact that students tend to be a bit more aware of current events, she thinks. and also the easy availability of campaign literature. She said the political pamphlets tell a number. of viewpoints and any student who wants to read up on candidates or issues has only to walk on campus to get a pamphlet. The average citizen might have to drive a mile to a shopping center and hope someone is around with a hand-out or wait for someone to send him a letter with campaign literature.

Now that she's had a taste of political activism, Miss Valentine doubts that she'll be able to back out regardless of whether her man wins. "My eyes have been opened whether I wanted them to or not and it would be hard to fade back in the woodwork," she says. suddenly darted into the street. A car driven by Carmen Calderon, 44, of 907 W.
