THE VICTORIA- ADVOCATE 24 PAGES 10 CENTS 127th YEAR NO. 58 VICTORIA, TEXAS, 77901, TUESDAY, JULY 4, 197? Council Gets Fifed Up Mayor Explodes Over Complaint for damned near nine years said the mayor, adding that he is "tired of changing your diapers" and doesn't intend to let the matter come before council again. Councilman Edward L. Hpler also agreed that council spends "too much time on insignificant matters," and "has more in-portant, things to do than fool with these damn firecrackers." As a parting blast, Williams told Nuckols "I wish we could take care of all you fireworks people and get you. clear out of the county." "That would be all right with me, just as long as everybody gets the same treatment," Nuckols replied.

At the heart of the issue is the Nuckols insisted that a city detective was present at the time and agreed with his position on the matter, but Martinak reiterated that he had not refused to accept a formal complaint. "Will you accept one now?" Nuckols asked. "Yes, if you insist," Martinak replied. "I do insist, for everyday he's been operating," Nuckols shot back. It was at this point that Mayor Williams told Nuckols that "every year we have to put up with you bunch of bellyachers, about who is two inches closer to the city limits than somebody else."

Mike Martinak had refused to accept a complaint against Araj, in addition to refusing to close the stand. Martinak denied this; saying that he had told Nuckols he would not shut down the stand although city officials concede it is possibly in violation of the ordinance and that Nuckols had misinterpreted this as a refusal to accept a complaint.

In reply to a question from Councilman John Stockbauer, Martinak said "if the distance were measured along the highway I'm sure it would be more than 5,000 feet, but measured as the crow flies (on a straight line) from the city limits, it isn't." Nuckols said, at this point, that the site is only .8 of a mile from Schaefer Drive, another city boundary, but Martinak replied: "I don't concede the existence of a Schaefer Drive.

While the candidates relaxed, forces of George McGovem asked Judge George L. Hart Jr.

to restore the more than 150 delegates stripped from the South Dakota senator by the Democratic Credentials Committee. Hart declined to act, saying the question of whether the state's winner -take-all primary was fair and equitable is a matter to be decided by the party convention, not by the courts. He said the judiciary should intervene in party conflicts only when they involve a clear constitutional principle. In a parallel and similar ruling delivered at the same time, Hart refused to upset the Credential Committee's action in unseating Chicago Mayor Richard Daley and 58 ether Illinois delegates to the convention. In anticipation of appeals in both cases, Hart told the contending lawyers before giving his rulings that the U.S.

Court of Appeals would bear arguments in the cases on Tuesday despite the Independence Day holiday. The losing attorneys in each case told newsmen they will appeal. The South Dakota senator was spending the holiday weekend at his farm on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Sen. Hubert H.

Associated Press correspondent Holger Jensen reported from the northern front that enemy forces appeared to be falling back from the government coun-teroffensive and were attempting to flee in small groups to avoid intensive allied air strikes. North Vietnamese artillerymen blasted Hue for the second straight day and more than 30 122mm artillery shells crashed into the former imperial capital. A military spokesman said one boy was wounded and four houses were damaged in the daylight attacks.

At least 101 shells ha ve hit the city during the two-day barrage. Most were directed at the Citadel, which serves as the military command post for the northern region. Twelve persons were reported killed is the Sunday's attack, the first shelling of the city since the enemy offensive began March 30. Enemy gunners pounded a base camp Monday on the northwestern approach to Hue with about 500 rounds of 130mm artillery and mortar fire, a communique said. They followed with a ground attack that was repulsed with five North Vietnamese killed and government losses of one dead and four wounded.

The North Vietnamese have been pounding bases along Hue's western defenses since government forces started their drive north last week to recapture Quang Tri Province.

He said the driver was forced to enter the Beltway and drive completely around the dty while the gunmen went from passenger to passenger, taking valuables. Forty-three of the 48 passengers told police they had been robbed George Dotson, the bus driver, said the bandits ordered him to stop the bus at the interchange and that both fled on foot over an embankment and across the busy highway.

(AP) President Nixon will address the nation by radio Tuesday in a July 4 holiday speech expected to call for unity to meet the "great trials" the President sees ahead for the American people. Press secretary Ronald Ziegler said Monday the chief executive's speech will be broadcast live at 9 0S a m. PDT (11:06 am. CDT) Tuesday from the Western White House. Nixon will talk for about 10 minutes, Ziegler said.

The speech, which Ziegler said would be carried live by all radio networks, fits Nixon's pattern of using holidays as occasions for nationwide addresses. He made radio broadcasts last Labor Day and Veterans Day. AUSTIN, Tex. (AP) Sen ate-House negotiator! on the no-new -taxes $4.1 billion state budget scratched, then restored, a controversial anti-busing rider Monday. The conference committee also ran into problems over a plan to turn a disputed highway department building site into a downtown Austin park but delayed a final decision.

Sen. Tom Creighton of Mineral Wells said he opposed the proposal, but Rep. Neil Caldwell of Angleton said the House might reject a compromise bill if the park plan is deleted. A busing rider added by the Hc Saturday prohibit, lh TTt trituration A0MW the Texas Education Agency from spending appropriated funds to bus school children for the purpose of racial balance unless required to do so by a court order or by statutes, either state or federal. "As far as I am concerned it (the rider) can be burned to a turn," remarked Rep.

Hilary Doran of Del Rio, who added that the rider was meaningless. After the rider was removed, Sen. A. R. Schwartz of Galveston said he had learned there would be problems getting the compromise bill through the House without the rider and suggested that it be restored.

The conferees saved $17 million by voting $7.7 million for a new food stamp program for the needy, the same amount that the House approved. Senators had voted for $10.4 million in their version of the bill. The deletion will have the effect of keeping the food stamp program from taking effect in all 254 counties in the coming fiscal year. Except for Caldwell, House conferees went along with Senators in deleting nearly $200,000 from rat control funds and applying the money, instead, to elimination of predators. "There has been a good deal of looking at this from a country standpoint, since the House shuffled the funds Saturday night, and the predator problem has gotten worse.

We need that back like it was," said Rep. Bob Salter of GatesvUle. CkucUe Football caeca: "Things look bad for the fall that I nay have to asc ttadeats the team. Town Talk Harold Nichols cutting up with a sculpture. Mrs.

Paul Marshall, a lawyer in New York for Fischer, said the 29-year-old American challenger had accepted banker James D. Slater's offer of the extra prize money and would be in Reykjavik by the Tuesday noon deadline.

Earlier Monday, the sponsors of the championship match turned down Fischer's bid for a cut of the gate receipts in addition to the prize money previously agreed on. Marshall quoted Fischer as saying of Slater's proposal: "I gotta accept it It's a stupendous offer." He said Fischer considered the gesture "incredible and generous and brave." Slater said in London he received confirmation of Fischer's acceptance by telephone and had been told the challenger planned to fly to Reykjavik. Fischer must arrive In Rey- The Rev. William E.
