MAJOR The status of liquor sales in the longtim West Texas city has been on-again and off- again since a June 17 local option election. Initial results showed that supporters won by about 100 votes. However, the Taylor County Commissioners Court canvassed Richard White House tapes. The firm, and one of its founders, physicist Richard Bolt, said the section of tape containing critical discussions three days after the Watergate break-in was deliberately erased.

The electronic ears were listening in Dallas over the weekend as the slaying of President John Kennedy was reenacted for the House Select Committee on Assassinations to determine whether three or four shots were fired at the presidential motorcade on Nov. 22, 1963. The Warren Commission decided three shots were fired that day, and experts generally agree a fourth shot would indicate a second gunman. Labate said the results of the Dallas test will be available sometime next month. The firm analyzed similar test recordings made at the site of the Kent State shootings to determine the sequence of National Guard gunfire when four students were killed during a 1970 campus anti-war demonstration.

That test was done for the Justice Department in its investigation of the shootings. Labate said both cases involve comparing recordings taken at the time of the actual shootings against test recordings, looking for that will reveal the order of gunfire and even the types of weapons used. noise has a certain unique frequency, a shape that we can compare with other he said. use standard equipment to analyze the frequency and then make tapes to compare it with known THUNDERSTORMS country of Southwest Texas. Early today, skies were mostly clear to partly cloudy and temperatures were mostly in the 70s.

Early morning temperature extremes ranged from the upper 50s in the mountains of Southwest Texas to 78 at Texarkana and Galveston. Other early morning readings included 71 at Amarillo, 72 at Wichita Falls, 74 at Dallas-Fort Worth, 75 at Austin, 70 at Lufkin, 74 at Houston, 75 at Corpus Christi and Brownsville, 77 at Del Rio, 72 at San Angelo, 75 at El Paso and 69 at Lubbock. He says the firm usually turns down the many requests it receives from police departments around the country that want expert advice in analyzing sound data. not the thrust of our says Labate. very careful about the work we accept because we want to get involved in criminal The firm first came into prominence in 1974 when, at the request of congressional investigators, it studied an ute gap in one erf then-President nounced that a love spell he had tried He also walked six miles daily to a mission school where he helped with the chores after classes.

He was baptized in 1914 with the Christian name of Johnstone Kamau. But frequent wearing of the beaded belts or kinyata, of the Masai tribe gave him the last name of Kenyatta, and he later took the African first name of Jomo, which means burning spear. By 1922, Kenyatta was bicycling to work as a $35-a-month municipal meter reader in Nairobi. He took the first of his four wives and became active in the Kikuyu Central Association, which was demanding title deeds from the British colonial government to protect tribal lands against white settlers. He went to England in 1931 to present Kikuyu views to a parliamentary land commission and did not see Kenya again for 15 years.

Returning home after the war, tensions were sharpening. Kenyatta's dominant personality and salty, forceful speaking style gave Africans the leader they needed for the coming push to freedom. The British arrested him and convicted him in 1953 of leading the Mau Mau rebellion in which 13,000 Africans and fewer than 100 whites were slain in a four- year period. Kenyatta denied he was a terrorist, and historians still dispute his role in the rebellion. In 1959, he was moved from jail to house arrest in northern Kenya, and in 1961 he was freed to a drum-thumping, dancing welcome in Nairobi.

Independence came 28 months later, on Dec. 12, 1963. TAX DELEGATION from Laos. have no accounting, no records, no he said. Montgomery told Vice Foreign Minister Phan Hien, cannot make policy or negotiate, but we come with open minds and we will take back what we learn to the president, the Congress and the people of the United Hien said Premier Pham Van Dong considered the visit and would meet with the congressmen in Hanoi.

President Carter is expected to announce soon whether the administration will seek an extension of the trade embargo imposed against Vietnam after Communist forces toppled the U.S.-backed government of South Vietnam in 1975. KENYATTA staff until further notice. Kenyatta, the herdboy grandson of a witch doctor, was among the last of a unique generation of African leaders who during the 1960s brought their peoples from colonial status to independence. He turned out to be as successful a president as he had been a revolutionary, making friends with the British who had detained him for eight years as leader to darkness and in one of bloodiest freedom struggles, the Mau Mau rebellion. His middle-of- the road economic and racial policies encouraged prosperity and stability in Kenya.

In later years as he aged, he became increasingly remote and a personality cult grew up around him. Young politicians became impatient with his gradual approach to the problems of a developing nation. But shrewd and often ruthless maneuvering undercut any serious dissent. His earliest days were shrouded. do not know when 1 was bom what day, what month or what year," he said.

Most authorities agree he was born between 1890 and 1895 in Kambu district, heartland of the Kikuyu, dominant tribe and Kenyatta's power base for a half-century in politics. Kamau wa Ngengi was his name when, in his word, he was clever boy, playful and ambitious, who was given to running away and spending whole nights in the bush whenever anything upset The youth immersed himself in tribal lore and once en- next year. But the philosophy on taxes seems to fit well with that of the committee. That panel is expected to enlarge the House-passed tax cut of $16.3 billion though not to the billion mark and it a good bet to increase the share for business and investors. The Carter administration says it is comfortable with the size of the bill passed by the House, but prefers that a larger share go to lower-and middle- income individuals and that the capital gains relief, aimed at helping investors, be reduced.

The tax on capital gains, which are profits from the sale of stocks, real estate and other assets, was the biggest stumbling block when the bill was in the House. Because the finance committee almost unanimously supports a lower capital gains tax, that issue is not as volatile in the Senaay. Carlson, speaking for the chamber, advocated a bigger capital gains reduction than was passed by the House. Roland M. Bixler, representing the National Association of Manufacturers.

urged a separate reduction in the corporate capital gains tax. They contend the tax is so high it stifles investment in business. As a result, they say. the economy and worker productivity lags and inflation worsens. Current law taxes one-half of individual capital gains at the same rate as other income.

Except for a $10,000 exclusion, the other half is subject only to a minimum tax of 15 percent, meaning capital gains, in theory, can be subject to a maximum tax of up to 49.1 percent. In reality, the average tax is about 16 percent. The House-passed bill would reduce the maximum tax to about 35 percent and, starting in 1980. exempt from taxation ony 1980, exempt from taxation any part of the profit caused by inflation. DAVIS a The Associated Press learned that the district office has knowledge of a provided by McCrory, who worked with police as an informant, tipping them to purported plan to have Eidson and others killed.

Lions Hear Program On Diabetes Mrs.

Chris Carroll of Memphis spoke to the Lions today noon on diabetes. Her husband and son are both diabetics. Mrs. Carroll pointed out dia- betis is the third largest killer in the country being outnumbered by heart and cancer. In the past twenty years great strides have been made in treating the disease but no cure has been found, Mrs.

Carroll said. It is an invisable disease in both adult and children and is almost entirely different in treatment for both cases, Mrs. Carroll told the Lions. Mrs. Carroll said she was most impressed by the Lions Club Diabetic Camp in Kerrville having sent her son there for two weeks the first time when he was only 8 years old and having found out that he had the disease for less than a year prior to attending the camp.

Farm Loans Available A new Economic Emergency loan service for farmers and ranchers who have financial problems caused by credit shortage or cost-price squeeze is now in effect through the U.S. Farmers Home Administration (FmHA). Those in Childress who may be interested in the service should call Farmers Home Administration at 937-2751.

Dorbandt, the supervisor for Childress County, reports that FmHA is prepared to take applications at the FmHA Childress County Office in Childress. Economic Emergency loans are authorized under the Agricultural Credit ace of 1978 signed by President Carter Aug. 4. They offer specail help to farmers who are hard-pressed by recent shortage of credit from their regular lenders, or by debts accumulated during the recent period of low farm prices. Dorbandt said the Economic Emergency loan program was enacted by Congress, with Administration support, in recognition of the fact that conditions, as well as weather, are often beyond FmHA emergency credit has previously been confined to loans for recovery from natureal disaster, or the guarantee of private loans to livestock producers affected by economic conditions.

Under the new Economic Emergency program, any established farm operator individual, partnership, corporation or cooperative experiencing scarce credit or an overload of debt coming due, may apply for up to $400,000 of credit through FmHA in order to survive in farming and continue their normal level of operation. Economic Emergency loans will not be made to expand a farm operation. Loans made directly by FmHA will be at an interest rate equivalent to the cost of money secured by the government through sale of its securities to the public, plus an administrative add-on of up to one percent. The rate initially will be percent. Guaranteed loans will be made at rates negotiated between borrower and lender, with FmHA providing the lender up to a 90 percent guarantee against loss.

Loans for operating purposes will be make tor terms of up to 7 years, with loan consilidations and rescheduling for another 7 years permitted, and 20-year payment authorized under special conditions. Real estate loans may be made for up to 40 years. Loans for annually-recurring expenses will be repayable annually. Dorbandt said initaial inquiries about Economic Emergency loans can be made either through a commercial agricultural lender or the county FmHA office serving the county where the farm is located. The Act calls for decision by FmHA on individual applications within 30 days.

While introducting the new Economic Emergency farm loan, FmHA will continue all pre-existing services. They include various programs of non-emergency real estate and production loans to family-size farms, terms of which will soon be broadened under the recent Credit Act; emergency loans to farms damaged by Natural disaster, and loans or grants for housing, community facilities and business and industry in rural areas.
