Raymon Stocker brought the case against Bill D. Kimbrough, Ector County chairman of the Democratic executive committee and William M. Hill, judge of the county court at law. The new position of County Court at Law Judge was created by a law enacted in 1959. The statute provided for a term of four years, and Hill was elected to the job in the 1960 general election.

Stocker alleged the four-year term is unconstitutional and asked the high court to consider the case. Party officials in Ector County have refused to place his name on the ballot for the May iroi democratic primary elec tion, saying the office would not come up for contest until 1964. The Supreme Court agreed in refusing to hear arguments. Football Helmet Dear Santo: I want a football helmet and suit, a pop gun, dump truck, cement truck and a target set. DENVER A.

RHONDA MARIE GEBEKT 5803 Ave, Attorney General Will Wilson asked the Texas Supreme Court Wednesday for permission to file a writ of mandamus that would direct District Judge Jack Rob erts to enter judgment in the legal wrangle over a multi-million-dollar contract to supply San Antonio with natural gas. The dispute first was presented to the Railroad Commission by United Gas Pipe Line Company, contesting a new contract which would supplant United as San An tonio's supplier.

The city had signed a new contract with Ala mo Gas Supply Company. When the Railroad Commission denied the hearing sought by United, that firm brought suit in Roberts' 126th District Court appealing the commission's decision. Roberts last September over ruled a number of preliminary pleas and motions by the Railroad Commission and other defendants in the suit, and ruled that the Railroad Commission should hold a hearing on the contract between Alamo and San Antonio. Jurists Ask Leased Land Rule Change By Associated Press Three state supreme court jus tices argued today for a new rule of deciding rent in cases where the size of a piece of leased land is decreased. Associate Justices Clyde Smith, Joe Greenhill and Robert W.

Ham ilton filed the opinion, a new dis sent in a case decided by the court on Oct. 18. In that case, the court held that condemnation of part of a land lease does not entitle the lease holder to have his rent cut. The suit was brought by Edward Joseph, owner of a chain of Aus tin drive-in theaters. He had leased a 12.5 acre tract from Nora Todd Elliott.

Later, the city condemned 3.87 acres for street widening. Joseph said he should have his rent cut from S166 monthly to 5115. The Supreme Court majority disagreed. The dissent filed today said the court, in making its landmark de cision, was not compelled to fol low the rule it used. The dissent ing justices said to follow this rule the so-called "minority rule" will bind the tenant to pay rent on premises after he has been permanently ousted therefrom." "Texas should adopt a rule which will be in accord with our Texas decisions on landlord and tenant," they said, in advocating use of the so-called "minority rule of tenant rights.

The news ban left the outside world dependent on official Indian reports of the capitulation of Portuguese rule in the city and the reception of the invading troops, tanks and warships by its residents. I Correspondents who tried to follow the attacking forces were turned back by Indian guards. Promised briefings by the mili- tary command were cancelled.

After the Portuguese government disputed the Indian claim of complete victory, an Indian spokesman admitted early today there had been last-ditch resistance near the Goan port of Mor-mugao. He said the last Portuguese soldiers surrendered short ly before midnight when 1,500 laid down their arms. An estimated 2,000 Portuguese troops were reported to have surrendered earlier. Menon told newsmen during stopover In Cairo that he was re turning to New York to place India's case clearly before the United Nations. Diplomats at U.N.

headquarters in New York were puzzled by Menon's haste. The General Assembly planned to recess today until mid-January, and the Soviet union vetoed a Western cease fire resolution in the Security Council Tuesday as India was completing its conquest. No fur ther arraignment of India in the council or the assembly was ex pected. The Communist bloc and the Asian-African nations acclaimed the action by Prime Minister Nehru's forces. The United States, Britain, and other Western na tions strongly condemned it.

Menon said his government was grateful to the Cairo government for denying the use of the Suez Canal to Portuguese ships carrying war material to the embat tied enclaves. He said India had been forced to liberate them be cause 14 years of negotiation with Portugal had proved futile. Nehru told newsmen that the ease with which India took over the three enclaves and the lack of casualties the government said it lost eight dead and that Portuguese casualties were "small" proved the "correctness of the Indian assessment of the situation." "The colonial administration had cracked up and the people wanted and welcome India," Nehru said. He said U.N. critics of India were "obviously Ignorant of the facts now as well as in the last dozen years or more." Government reports reaching Bombay said peace prevailed throughout Goa and that Portuguese soldiers and residents of the enclaves were being assured of their safety.

The Portuguese governor of Damao, Maj. Antonia Pint, was reported injured in the) resistance and flown to Bombay for treatment. 1 Supreme Court Justices Meet Texas Sup erne Court sat, Wednesday to announce orders on! motions, and to hear arguments.

They are not willing to let this advantage slip by without making a determined attempt to secure concessions from the breakaway leader who has spurned them since independence last year. In Elisabethville, the Katanga capital, there was a new flareup of fighting Tuesday. The United Nations said sniping by civilians and mercenaries had forced its troops to occupy several instal lations of the big Belgian mining company, the Union Miniere de Haut Katanga.

Three U.N. Ethiopian soldiers were reported wounded. With U.N. forces in nominal control of Elisabethville after two weeks of battling Tshombe's white-led Katangan troops, Acting U.N. Secretary-General Thant had ordered his soldiers to hold their fire for the duration of the talks between Tshombe and Adoula.

He said they would shoot back if fired on. Tshombe and Adoula arrived separately Tuesday at the United Nations' Kitona base, near the mouth of the Congo River. They held a preliminary meeting to discuss such procedural matters as an agenda and methods of approaching the issues dividing them. Adoula said he hoped the talks would end by tonight, but this seemed likely only if they broke down. Want A Bike Dear Santa: I want a bike for Christmas and a thumblena dolly.

The resolution urged resumed negotiations at the earliest possible time, with a report not later than next June 1. The outer space proposal called for a broad program of cooperation in exploring outer space, declared all celestial bodies under the jurisdiction of international law and ruled out any claims of national sovereignty over celestial bodies. Agreement on this also involved expansion of the existing outer space committee to give more representation to Communist and nonaligned countries. Communist Mongolia and three African countries were added to the 24-nation committee. The weary delegates Tuesday night pushed through a number of important resolutions including one condemning Portugal for re fusing to give the United Nations information on its overseas territories.

It was the second U.N. decision against Portugal within 24 hours. A Soviet veto Monday night blocked Security Council approval of a resolution calling on India to pull back its invasion of the three small Portuguese colonies on the west coast of India. The Indian army completed its conquest Tuesday. India led the campaign to con demn Portugal for refusing to furnish information on non-self-governing territories required by the U.N.

charter. The vote was 90-3 with Portugal, South Africa and Spain voting no and Bolivia and France abstaining. The Unit ed States voted for the resolution after an unsuccessful attempt to soften the language of the reso lution. The resolution authorized creation of a seven-man committee to conduct an investigation of conditions in the Portuguese territories and called on member states "to deny to Portugal any support and assistance which may be used by it for the suppression of people of its non-self-governing territor ies." The chief targets of the latter provision were the United States, Britain and other members of the North Atlantic Alliance from whom Portugal obtains military supplies as a member of NATO, The steering committee called for adjournment by midnight un til Jan. 15, but the assembly was expected to sit past the deadline in order to clear a number of items from its agenda.

The 104-nation budgetary com mittee assured assembly approval of a J200-million, 25-year bond is-! sue to save the world body from bankruptcy. The committee rec-i ommended assembly approval of' the bond issue by a vote of 45-11 with 21 abstentions. The Soviet bloc objected that the plan was illegal.

The assembly bowed to Soviet bloc demands that when it resumes next month, its agenda will i not be limited to discussion of the crisis in Portugal's African colony of Angola and the future of Belgian-held Ruanda-Urundi.

For the past five years, the wives of Bergstrom Air Force Base men have entertained the children of the Texas School for the Blind, Deaf and Orphan with an all-day party at the base.

This party was Saturday and after it was over a blind boy with a famous name, George Washington, read from his Braille notes and thanked the men and women of Bergstrom for their kindness. So impressed was Chaplain Russell C. Haggard that he asked for a copy of the Braille message. Bergstrom wives, many of them hundreds of miles from their own childhood homes, are happier each Christmas for their part in making the season better for these blind, deaf and orphan ed youngsters. First, the boys and girls are escorted on a tour of the base Some cannot hear the hum of the big engines, but they can see Others can hear the roar of the planes, but cannot see.

Then the youngsters eat in the mess hall and get a real taste of Air Force life. After that, there is a program of fun and caroling and Santa's visit. Although many of the 175 at tending this year's party could not speak their thanks, the BAFB wives were thanked by the smiles on their faces.
