Cooper of 2221 Stanton, retired Monday from U.S. Customs Service after nearly 25 years of service. Prior to joining Customs he had worked for Popular Dry Goods Co. over 20 years. Cooper, 70, was in the first class to attend El Paso High when it opened in 1916.

His grandfather, reportedly the firstwhite child born in Chicago, 111., in 1801, was an early settler in Ysleta. During his government service Cooper received a number of commendations and at a retirement party held last Saturday he was presented the Albert Gallatin Award by District Director Ray Dwigans.

Pastore, chairman of the Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee, said that oniy $70 million is scheduled to be spent this year and that if this leads to armanent control "that's the best $70 million we've ever spent. The remainder of the funds in the bill would be spent later. It was the fourth time this year the Senate has rejected efforts to slash Sentinel funds. Cooper conceded the action would virtually assure the expenditure of the $5 billion needed for the so-called "thin" ABM system. This originally was described as a shield against a possible Red Chinese attack but now is acknowledged to be the first step in a full-fledged system of defense against a possible Soviet attack.

Estimates for the full system have ranged from $30 billion to $40 billion, but Cooper said testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee indicated that it may cost as much as $70 billion. all the values It's time to Charges were filed Wednes come to Sunrise! against Billy Dean Neel, 37, an Odessa oil field worker, in the shooting death of Billy Gene Birdwell, 38.

Attacks of this sort would be especially inappropriate and harmful to the court and the nation if they should continue while the court is in session, engaged in the adjudication of issues of great importance to the nation as well as the litigants. Fortas said. "I pray that we shall see," he said, "in all of our nation, renewed dedication to the principles of fairness and justice and moderation, without which our democracy cannot continue." Fortas indicated his future plans with the terse remark that when the Supreme Court convenes on Monday "I will, of course, be participating in its work as associate justice." A White House spokesman said Wednesday that the contents of the letter were known before it was received, but there was no elaboration as to any conversations that might have taken place between Fortas and the President before it was written. Johnson's statement said: "With deep regret I have accepted, end concur in.

the request of Mr. Justice Fortas and am withdrawing his nomination as chief justice of the United States. Air Guardsmen To Be Released (Continued from Page 1-A) Patrick J. Nugent, son-in-law of President Johnson. On Sept 16.

the Navy announced that fix of its air reserve squadrons called to active duty along with the Air Guard and reserve elements on Jan. 26, would be released by Nov. 1. There are 600 men in the Naval Reserve squadrons. This leaves some 20,000 Army Guardsmen and Reservists who entered federal active service May 13.

An Army spokesman said his service has no plans to free its called up Guardsmen and Reservists. Several groups of Army reservists have carried to the Supreme Court their fights to avoid shipment to Vietnam. They are attacking the legal underpinning of their call-up, ordered by Johnson under special congressional authority to muster men from the reserves for up to two years without declaration of war or national emergency. Rep. Richard S.

Schweiker, has claimed the call-up of Air Reservists was an "outrageous sham." He contended the Pueblo incident was used "as an excuse to gain extra manpower, not to meet the Pueblo crisis but instead to increase military manpower levels for routine duty." Some 5,000 of the Air Guardsmen and reservists have been taken out of their -ft 1 -jcje mm I believed when I made this nomination, and I believe now, that he is the best qualified man for this high position. "The action of the Senate, a body I revere and to which I devoted a dozen years of my life, is historically and constitutionally tragic. "I urge all involved with, and concerned about, our Constitution and its form of government to pledge now that this shall be no precedent, that the Senate hereafter will act by majority rule and never fail to address itself to the issues which it has the constitutional duty toTinswer." Fortas withdrawal, though expected, left the situation considerably confused. There have been widespread reports in Washington that Johnson's mood has blackened as the four-day filibuster progressed against Fortas his old friend and adviser, and that the President might decline to send up another name. However, this possibility was undercut by the further prospect that the chance to nominate a chief justice might therefore go by default to Richard M.

Nixon, the Republican presidential nominee. A further complication arises from the ambiguous position of Chief Justice Earl Warren. Warren wrote Johnson June 13 of his desire to retire, "effective at your pleas-ore." Johnson replied that he would accept "Your decision to retire effective at such time as a successor is qualified." This gave rise to one of the major Issues used against Fortas the charge that no vacancy yet existed. Robertson To Appear At Horse Show (Continued from Page 1-A) Paso Coliseum.

Foreign Minister Michel Debre, in a major address to the national assembly, paid an unusual tribute to the Bonn government. It would be "supremely unjust," he said, not to recognize the "peaceful intentions" of the present German leaders. Debre, in the strongest statement made by any French official so far about the Czechoslovak crisis, deplored the fact that Soviet tanks had not been withdrawn; that the Czechoslovaks had not yet been allowed "to regain their freedom of action" and that "the rights of 1 ENJOY THE WORLD SERIES 5iO i I (C) 1968, New York Times News Service UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. Secretary of State Dean Rusk warned Moscow Wednesday that any military actior a a inst West Germany would bring immediate military reaction by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization powers. Rusk's warning that force would be met with force was delivered before the United Nations General Assembly.

This was the first time a secretary of state had addressed the assembly since the late Christian A. Herter spoke here. Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko of the Soviet Union sat expressionless while Rusk denounced the invasion and occupationof Czechoslovakia by the Soviet Union, East Germany, Poland, Hungary and Bulgaria. A demonstration against the Vietnam war that interrupted Rusk with cries of "stop the war in Vietnam, bring the troops home" failed to alter Gromyko's expression.

Rusk's charge that the Soviet Union was defying the charter of the U.N. was also heard in denunciations of Moscow's actions by foreign ministers Torsten Nill-son of Sweden, Jose de Magalhaes Pinto of Brazil and Fernando A. Amiamatio of the Dominican Republic. Nillson said that if the use of force did not achieve a permanent solution in Czechoslovakia this "is equally true in the case of Vietnam." He repeated his country's plea to the U.S. to cease completely the bombing of North Vietnam.

In the view of many delegates, the American position, as outlined by Rusk, ended any hopes of an early East-West detente.

This caused considerable unhappiness, but the Air Force took the position that it had the legal authority to separate reservists from their untis and filter them Into regular outfits as replacements, the same way regular airmen are assigned. The most important elements called to active duty in January and May were 14 Air Guard squadrons, mostly tactical fighter bombers and reconnaissance aircraft.

The six that went to Vietnam were the 136th Tactical Fighter Squadron of Niagara Falls, N.Y., the 120th of Buckley, the 174th of Sioux City, Iowa, and the 188th of Kirkland Air Force Base, N.M. The 127th tactical fighter squadron from McConnell Air Force Base, Kansas, and the 166th from Lockbourne, Ohio, went to Korea to beef up U.S. air power there.

Debre's statement struck diplomatic observers as significant for two reasons: It was seen as the first indication that President De Gaulle may be coming to the conclusion that he must choose between good relations with Moscow and good relatiins with the governments and peoples of Eastern Europe who are seeking greater independence from Moscow.

De is known to have hoped to be able to carry out these two policies simultaneously. But in Wednesday's speech, Debre came out more strongly than ever for the Eastern European's right to sovereignty and, for the first time, he made resumption of "detente" contingent on Soviet respect for the independence of her neighbors. Secondly, Debre's speech was seen as evidence that the French felt the need to soothe the feelings of the West German government leaders. OUR GREAT DOUBLEHEADER VALUE!
