Roy Dale, attorney for a Brownsville television station, said the bank examination was touched off by a suit filed by a Brownsville television station. The suit charged officers in the bank, officials of a "factoring company," and two members of a Brownsville law firm with defrauding the station of tens of thousands of dollars in an alleged advertising revenue kickback scheme, Dale said. Included as defendants in the suit are Shaid, as an individual and president of Central Texas Factors. Also named in the suit are Jean Moon, president of the bank when it failed, Peter Dean, an attorney and former chairman of the board of the station, KVOE, and Lawrence M.

BANK Page 6, Sec. 1 By WAYNE ROPER Staff Writer -The complex web of intrigue surrounding convicted bank swindler Orrin Shaid Jr. and his female companion Lynn Carruth Maree grew more tangled Wednesday with strands leading to some officials of a newly-formed Tyler television firm and other businesses across the state.

Two members of Sunrise Broadcasting approved for a television broadcast license in Tyler last week by the Oderal Communications Commission, have had ties with Ranchlander Bank of Melvin, according to information in permit application records obtained by the Tyler Morn ing Telegraph.

Brazilian Missionary Says Reagan Popular. Pg. 6, Sec. 1 Relations between Washington and Brazil were strained in the 1970s over Brazil's objections to inspections of its nuclear energy technology that did not come specifically from the United States. Shultz said the two nations will seek to reconcile conflicts in their laws on nuclear technology and fuel.

In another sign of the improving relations between the two governments, Shultz said talks may lead to a resumption of the exchanges on military matters. A joint U.S.- Brazilian military commission expired in the 1970s. Shultz said the talks with Brazilian officials did not touch on Cuba's role in the hemisphere nor on the war between Argentina and Britain last spring over the Falkland Islands. Brazil, like the United States, supports negotiations on the future of the islands. "We are not here to seek support on any specific thing," Shultz said.

"We are real strong on the Tyler market. We believe it can support a second station," Muncey, who is in the television equipment and broadcast business, said. Ronald Reagan "Obviously this is a sign to banks, private lenders, that the United States and Brazil are standing together in this time that Brazil needs help," Regan said.

"Everyone knows that Brazil is having problems." In an exchange of toasts after dinner, Reagan and Figueiredo differed on policies toward troubled Central America. Reagan denounced "counterfeit revolutionaries" iri the region, while Figueiredo decried external interference and said the guerrillas in El Salvador should be brought into the negotiating process. In a verbal slipup, Reagan toasted the people of Bolivia instead of Brazil and then compounded the error by saying, "That's where I'm going." Bolivia is not on the agenda for his Latin American trip. Treasury Secretary Donald Regan described the loan as a "temporary and said it will be a sign to banks and other lenders that "the United States and Brazil are standing together." "All the funds are very short term and repayable in 90 days," Regan said. He said Brazil has given "full assurances that it will repay the loans."

The cab was unearthed with a backhoe Wednesday while three Ryder representatives were at the site. "I doubt very seriously we'll ever see the rest of that truck," David Carf, Tyler Ryder service manager, said. Carr was shop foreman at the Ryder terminal in Longview when the new truck was stolen almost five years ago.

Carr said six or seven trucks were lined up on a Saturday morning, waiting to be transferred to Tyler, when the truck" was stolen. "Someone just helped himself and drove away," Carr said. Ryder officials from Longview who viewed the excavation at the field located seven and a half miles east of Highway 850 included John Blackstone, service manager, and Jesse Dula, accounts manager. Rudd was in Seattle, 'Wash, when the cab was first discovered on his property. Rudd said the remains of the truck will be re-buried and' the construction of the oilwell will "work around it."

LESTAGE Staff Writer OVERTON A law enforcement officer's curiosity of the unusual resulted in untangling a theft Wednesday when the wrecked cab of a truck, stolen from HarrisoiTGounty nearly five years ago, was dug up in a field about five miles from here.

The cab of a 1978 International Transtar truck was discovered Nov. 24 while land owned by T.J. "Jeff" Rudd was being cleared for an oilwell site, Tommy Goodman, a Lin-dale policeman, said. The police-officer said Rudd told him about the truck last week, A check of the vehicle's identification number by Smith County sheriff deputies last week showed the truck, owned by Ryder Truck Rental, had not been stolen. However, the curious policeman did not give up.

Monday, on his day off, Goodman went to the site and obtained the rental terminal number and, with the help of Trooper Ralph Byrd, Department of Public Safety, checked the vehicle and found it was stolen March 15, 1978. "The reason I went out there is because I couldn't see why someone would go through the trouble of burying a truck and I couldn't understand why no one was investigating it," Goodman said. The veteran officer said he thought there might be something else buried along with the cab. "I just wanted my mind satisfied, persistent Goodman explained. He said it appears the truck was driven through the woods, stripped and the the cab buried, although Goodman IIBit EjmBMy By The Associated Press In a new sign of recovery in the building industry, the government reported Wednesday that spending on new construction rose 1.1 percent in October the biggest increase since June.

The Commerce Department also revised its estimate for September's construction spending to a gain of 0.9 percent from the previously reported decline of 0.2 percent. That made October the third straight month of increase. Robert Ortner, the Commerce Department's chief economist, said he expected slower gain's in building activity over the winter, but added that improvement should be greater in residential building than in commercial.
