(Star Photo) UFO Couple And Followers Have Dropped Out Of Sight otherwise known as Bo and Peep or as Herff Applewhite and Bonnie Truesdale Nettles, are apparently still traveling around the United States spreading their belief in reincarnation.

and a strange religious philosophy which attracts money They showed up in Harlingen in August. 1974. shortly after BIRD WALK NEW YORK (AP) Hikers can be bird watchers, too. According to Magnificent just published by Rand McNally, the 2.000-mile hiking tract called the Appala chian Trail is also the route for one of our major avian flyways. The new book, which depicts and describes 100 of America's most scenic areas, reports that air currents, rising from the Appalachian Mountains below, allow a wide variety of hawks and other birds traveling the flyway to migrate vast distances with little expenditure of their own energy they began a recruiting drive in Texas, but their drive was cut short when they were arrested by Harlingen police.

Applewhite was turned over to St. Louis. Mo. authorities who wanted him on an auto theft charge, and the woman was returned to Houston to face a charge of mis-use of credit cards. Bo and Peep dropped out of sight until about three months ago when news stories began to come out of Oregon about them and their efforts to bring converts into the fold Their pitch to prospective converts was they would all journey together to a certain area, await the arrival of a UFO.

and then take off into outer space for a rendezvous in the next kingdom They said the UFO would be a brilliant blaze of light enveloping everyone and spiriting them away to a never-never land. Bo and Peep tell their followers to dispose of all their worldly goods, but caution them to retain a sufficient amount of money and at least one automobile so they will be able to travel. The group has been reported in at least eight states during the past few months, but at the moment, their whereabouts is unknown. The families of some of the converts are very unhappy about the situation and are seeking assistance, but state and federal law enforcement officers say Bo and Peep have apparently stayed within legal boundaries and all their converts are of legal age. During the two days they were confined in the Harlingen city jail, they told newsmen they expected to be murdered and also expected to be reincarnated within three days.

can simply disappear from this world anytime we so they said But their power to disappear was not functioning, because they failed to do so, even after being transferred to the Cameron County Jail where many prisoners with less talent have found it not so difficult to go absent without leave Applewhite is well known in Houston and other Texas cities. He is the son of a Presbyterian minister, has sung in church GET THE MOST OUT OF THE MONEY YOU EARN.

He used these two faculties to a great extent when he was interviewed in the Harlingen jail, but somehow or other failed to overcome the cynicism of reporters. News stories, originating in California and Oregon, tell about housewives who have taken their savings from banks and deserted their families to follow Bo and Peep, A number of men have become converts, deserting their wives and children But the big question now is where are they? The group was last reported in a state park in Illinois where a park ranger said they camped for a brief time After that, they dropped out of sight This was about two months ago.

Well, nowhere yet But all under discussion in Washington The Banking Committee of the House of Representatives is opening hearings soon on a series of major proposals to change the banking industry. Many of the proposals will have major impact on the consumer if approved For example, the proposals call for more competition for your money among different kinds of banking institutions Savings and loans and federal credit unions will be allowed to offer checking accounts. And they will be able to invest their money more broadly than banks do so as to compete more effectively for your dollar with high interest rates Savings and loaas and credit unions would be able to engage in much more aggressive consumer-lending activities In short, there would be few differences between banks and other financial institutions Which means you would have a wider range of choices for your money. One of the House proposals calls for phasing out the meddling in savings-account interest rates At this time, you get very much of a return from your account because Congress maintains a low ceiling at the urging of hankers who like that cheap money you let them use If the proposal goes through, the ceiling will gradually be eliminated, ami interest rates on savings accounts will be determined by the market place instead of by government Governor Expresses Alarm Over Spending SAN (UPI) Gov. Dolph Briscoe, expressing alarm over deficit spending and the growth of the bureacracy at all levels, said Monday it is not the function of government to solve all problems that exist in society.

Briscoe, speaking to the 10th Conference on Intergovernmental Relations and Regional Planning, called for more results for tax dollars spent on education in Texas and a program increasing productivity and decreasing the number of workers on the state payroll. He said not only was government failing to solve the problems it set out to solve but massive government spending actually had created more problems than it solved Speaking to 1,000 elected officials, Briscoe zeroed in on government programs he said were hampering the free enterprise system, soaring numbers of persons on government payrolls and programs that are not working despite more and more tax dollars spent each year. have been living in an era when the predominant thinking in government has been that any problem could be solved just by spending more Briscoe said York City is on the brink of financial disaster because it followed this theorv And the federal government in Washington is obviously headed down that same precarious The governor said it took the U.S. government 185 years to reach a federal budget of $100 billion in 1962, the figure doubled to $200 billion in 1971, four years later it reached $300 billion, now it appears it will take only two years for the federal budget to hit $400 At the same time. Briscoe said the Texas budget increased 250 per cent in the past 10 years and the level of spending for education has increased five times over the 1966-67 level think is is obvious to us all that if this trend continues, financing our institutions of higher learning is going to break our state As a matter of fact, half of the entire revenue of the State of Texas is allocated to education to elementary, secondary and higher educational programs.

continue to invest more and more when most of the indicators appear to reflect in many instances we are getting less and Briscoe cited a recent I Jniver- sity of Texas study showing, despite the increasing amount of money spent on education, more than 21 per of Texans over age 18 experience difficulty coping with the simple literacy requirements of everyday life additional money into our Texas Educational systems without direction or accountability is not the he said. The governor called for better planning and redirection of spending in the educational system, elimination of duplication of educational programs and a halt in the growth of government hiring. He said state employment in Texas has risen from 45.000 in 1957 to 135,000 in 1974, a jump of 199 per cent believe it is an indisputable fact that government at the local, state and federal levels cannot continue to grow at the rate it has in recent he said to the Bureau of Statistics one out of every six Americans is a government employe The Bureau has projected that one out of four new jobs during the next decade will be government jobs my opinion, you and I cannot allow this to be the case Therefore, in the field of state personnel we need a viable plan to reduce the overall number of state employes and to provide a means of achieving greater productivity from each employe YOUR DOLLAR IN THESE TIMES House Plans Hearings On Changes In Banking HY TEXAS INTERNATIONAL The proposals also call for streamlining the regulatory bodies that govern our financial institutions Currently, there are five organizations that have their hands in the money pie But according to new proposals, there would be wily one. It would be called the Federal Depository Institutions Commission. The government will also tighten things up under the proposals Savings and loaas will have to meet bank reserve requirements so that the Federal Reserve can have bet ter control over the money ply, (This will help reduce the tendency of Washington to pump too much or too little money into the economy Our big international banks will not be allowed to establish branches in countries that prohibit regulatory authorities from checking into things This is intended to prevent foreign mismanagement from backlashing into banking failures Of similar is the proposal to require foreign subsidiaries of banks to meet U.S.

reserve requiremen ts Will all these reforms take place? Well, each proposal has powerful enemies The banks do not want to give up all that cheap money they get in low-in terest-rate savings accounts (They claim their other interest rates would have to go up, too And the banks are not enthusiastically looking to the day they have to compete with savings and loaas and credit unions for checking accounts and a broad range of consumer services.
