(API The music of the Texas International Pop Festival ended three days ago, but echoes of the affair are still going on.

Lewisville Chief of Police RaJph Adams confirmed Wednesday night that he is resigning, but insisted he is not quitting under pressure. He was criticized sharply for not arresting a large numbers of young people using drags during the festival at this Dallas suburb. "I didn't allow anything," Adams said in a Dallas television interview. "You take the DOCTORS ELLIS ELLIS OPTOMETRISTS Call for appointment 646-8778 or SOS CUUens Bank Bide. 85,000 people there, and I had a security force of 115 men.

I did not and never will condone using narcotics. But if I went into the campground and started making arrests, we were going to have a riot." Adams restated a belief that festival goers were "polite and showed courtesy in every respect." He said the reports of nude swimming attracted "common ordinary people 'going down to see the skinny-dipping as one lady told me." The chief said he submitted his resignation Aug. 25, before the festival, and it was effective Sept. 8. One sharp critic of the handling of the festival was the Baptist General Convention of Texas.

The Rev. Therron Farris, who headed a group of Baptists going to the festival site, said, "Even the Mafia could FRIDAY and SATURDAY Terrific Values!

Adams was also chief security officer for Showco, and Interpop Superfest, the two promoters which staged the festival. He denied there was any conflict of interest and said a salary for his additional serv-; ices had been discussed.

I Lewisville City Manager John Sartain and Mayor Sam Houston said they plan a complete evaluation of the festival and how it was handled. Cpt. Willim White of the De; partment of Public Safety said no orders were issued to him or his men about "restricting themseves" in enforcing the law "Our only concern was the traffic, but in case of a riot the traffic would have had to take a lesser priority," he said. He said numerous arrests were made by DPS officers on highways "whenever and where- ever we found excessive drug usage or drunkenness." Kerrville Ousts Bearded Teacher KERRVILLE, Tex. (AP) Gene Ball, 29-, a high school mathematics instructor, was suspended this week when he returned to school with a beard he grew during the summer months, Superintendent Paul Barr said he warned Ball last week he would have to comply with a district policy which prohibits I the wearing of beards by male I students.

Barr said if a teacher was allowed to wear a beard, it would create a double stan-; dard, if one existed at all, would I be "a minor issue in a society that has so many." He added that the superintendent told him it would be all right to wear a mustache and i said, "It seems arbitrary to draw a line like mat."
