Later Monday night, some 15 Zippies, another faction in the protest coalition, arrived at the Par 3 golf course, erected a small tent and said they planned to stay for the night.

Hard rains fell briefly during the night over much of North Central and Northeast Texas. By this morning, a squall line moved through the South Plains south of Lubbock, showers and thunderstorms moved through East Texas and along the Red River, and fog and drizzle were spreading across the Texas Panhandle. Skies were at least partly cloudy elsewhere in the central and north sections of the state, while it was mostly fair through the coastal plains and toward the northwest into far West Texas.

Top temperatures Monday afternoon went no higher than 68 degrees at Dalhart and 71 at Amarillo, in the Panhandle behind the cool front, while readings reached into the 90s farther south, going as high as 100 at El Paso in far West Texas.

Texas Banker, Commercial Pilot Deny Charges of Gun Smuggling NEW ORLEANS (AP) A Texas banker-ranchei and a commercial airline pilot from Baton Rouge, say they are innocent of charges of conspiring to transmit munitions to Mexico.

Richmond Harper of Eagle Pass, a well known South Texan, said in Texas Monday, the most ridiculous thing I ever heard Adler H. Seal, who has been a pilot with Trans World Airlines, said in New Orleans where he was released under a $50,000 personal recognizance bond, done a thing. what going to find They were among nine persons arrested Saturday night in Louisiana and Texas on the conspiracy charges. The federal government alleged that they were in a $465,000 scheme to smuggle plastic explosives and other accessories to Mexico for use to transship to another country. Federal officials alleged the munitions were to be used in a plot to overthrow a foreign government, presumably in Cuba.

The. only one who remained in jail today was Murray Kessler of Brooklyn, N.Y., identified in the complaint as the man who made the arrangements for the sale to a person identified only as Kessler was held in New Orleans in lieu of $100,000 bond. Diaz was identified by the federal government only as claiming to be a citizen of Mexico. Officials said they were looking for him.

Ellsberg Trial Opens Monday LOS ANGELES (AP) Defense efforts to prevent the trial of Daniel Ellsberg and Anthony Russo in the Pentagon Papers case have failed and the way is clear for proceedings to begin next Monday. U.S. District Court Judge William M. Byrne Jr. denied on Monday the defendants' request to dismiss espionage, conspiracy and theft charges on grounds that the government singled out Ellsberg and Russo because of their antiwar views.

But Byrne ordered the government to give him any records, letters or memos of telephone calls concerning the reasons for prosecuting the former Rand Corp. researchers. matter will be reopened on my own he cautioned, if that material shows evidence of selective prosecution. The defense had argued that the FBI began investigating Ellsberg at least nine months before he leaked the classified, Pentagon-commissioned documents on the Vietnam war to newsmen. The lawyers did not contend that the FBI discovered what Ellsberg was doing.

But they said selective, discriminatory prosecution was proved by the fact that the government did not move against Ellsberg until after he espoused his antiwar views on national television. Ellsberg has admitted leaking the documents that began appearing in the press on June 13, 1971. Ellsberg, 41, was indicted June 25, two days after his television appearance. Michael Pollack of a Justice Department organized crime strike force in Brooklyn said in New Orleans that Kessler was a partner with Gambine in Neptune Nuggests, a Longls- land, N.Y., frozen food packag- ing firm. Gambine, 29, has not been re- porteed seen since late May.

His bloodstained car was found June 2 at Newark Airport in New Jersey. WASHINGTON (AP) Eddie Bernice Johnson may have set off a Texas-sized tempest among some home state politicians, who say they be sure which presidential candidate she supports. Ms. Johnson (she prefers that form of address) is a black Texan recently elected to the state legislature. also a delegate to the Democratic convention and a member of its Credentials Committee, the stage for her political problems.

The Texas organization of presidential candidate George McGovern said Ms. Johnson signed up early at her Dallas precinct to be a McGovern delegate. Then she aligned herself publicly with rival candidate Hubert H. Humphrey, explaining that she was reflecting the sympathies of 70 per cent of her predominantly black constituency. Nevertheless, McGovern workers said she continued to assure them of her private support.

Once in Washington, Ms. Johnson astonished the McGovernites by sporting a Humphrey button, and dismayed them by voting against McGovern when the Credential Committee resolved the explosive California delegate chal- llenge in Humphrey's favor. The challenge to the Texas delegation came up Monday, plunging an already cool relationship below freezing. A McGovern worker, Janet Jones, said Ms. Johnson had agreed to go along with a compromise elevating two black women alternates to full delegate status with voting rights.

The two. who are McGovern supporters, would have replaced two white men, who is uncommitted. Hours before the vote, Ms. Johnson let it be known that she would oppose the compromise. The Texas delegation was seated without change.

The next decisive moment came when the Rhode Island challenge was presented. The question there was the same as in the California case: Should a winner-take-all delegation be permitted? And as in California, McGovern was the primary winner who took all. Humphrey supporters were trying to win for their man the share of the primary vote he had captured. The Spanish milled dollar, or piece of eight, was standard money in the American colonies and continued to circulate in the U.S. with official sanction until 1857.
