MARCO Tyler Morning Telegraph TUESDAY, AUGUST 23, 1983 Continued From Page 1- Sec. 1 PRATER Continued From Page 1- Russ lived in Tyler 1977-1982 and sent his children to Grace Community School. He now teaches high school English and Bible at Trinity Christian Academy in Addison. Russ said fundamentalist Christians don't believe in "turning children over to the state." He compared the situation of Christians seeking state-accredited education to the ancient Hebrews letting themselves "be educated by Babylon or Persia, (who would) shape their mind according to alien beliefs." "The primary education of children (in the Old Testament) happens around the dining room table," Russ said. "There's a strong tradition in Scripture and the history of the church that you don't ackowledge authority where authority doesn't belong," Russ said.

Russ said SFA should be ordered to admit Prater immediately instead of waiting for her to transfer from another institution because freshman orientation is the only time the university pays any attention to freshmen. Green said Prater would suffer only "emotional distress caused by the delay." He said damages aren't irrepar- Accredited not being denied the benefit of a public education because of her religious beliefs. He said the "simplest" solution to her problem "is a six-month stay at Tyler Junior College." Green said accreditation is an "unobjectionable and reasonable requirement of the state." The assistant attorney general refuted the idea that accreditation conflicts with Prater's religious beliefs. "Carolyn Prater applied to an accredited school, yet she claims accreditation would violate her religious beliefs," Green said. In morning testimony, Johnson said the state should not interfere with parents' "God-given responsibility" to educate their children.

The church affiliated with the school believes in the inerrancy of the Bible. He said his school's curriculum is "less comprehensive than the overall curriculum in public school" because Grace "tries to do a few things well." Yarbrough called Biblical scholar Larry Daniel Russ, Carrollton, to testify about Old and New Testament beliefs on education. AH Saints newspaper said the reporter, Kiyoshi Wakamiya, later said he didn't see who fired the shots. Marcos denied Aquino was shot by military men, saying "this idea is probably planted deliberately to malign" government reputation. He accused "high-ranking" officials of an unidentified foreign government with helping Aquino return to the Philippines using fake documents.

Marcos' government refused to issue Aquino a passport to replace his expired travel papers, claiming certain groups were out to kill him upon his return. Aquino returned using a passport with an assumed name. Alluding to Aquino's fake travel papers, the president added, "I am certain that there were several high-ranking parties in some other government who cooperated with him in coming in under an assumed and false name." Marcos said it was natural for embittered Aquino partisans to blame his government and its leaders, including his politically powerful wife, Imelda Marcos, for the assassination. "I understand she (Mrs. Marcos) TaT being blamed in many ways, for what reasons I don't know," Marcos said.

In an angry outburst before a big crowd of mourners at the Aquino heme Sunday, university professor Salvador Gonzales, one of AquinoVpolitical colleagues, accused Mrs. Marcos and Armed Forces Chief Gen. Fabian VefN the killing Relatives said Aquino's wife, Cora-zon, and five children were scheduled to arrive in the Philippines Wednesday. The family had lived in Newton, Mass. since May 1980.

A member of the Aquino family in Manila said U.S. Ambassador Armacost had sent a letter of condolence. Manila Archbishop Cardinal Jaime L. Sin, and Papal Nuncio Mon-signor Bruno Torpigliani paid their respects, blessed Aquino's body, and recited prayers at the coffin. Rumors that Marcos had died or had been deposed in a coup coincided with a power blackout affecting a wide area of Luzon island, including the capital.

Marcos said he could not exclude the possibility that power lines had been sabotaged but did not elaborate. The government has not said what was being done to identify the assassin. Opposition figures immediately accused Marcos of eliminating his strongest and most outspoken challenger, and many questions about the killing and the assassin remained unanswered Monday. Mourners from Manila and the provinces, rich and poor, stood in the streets outside Aquino's suburban Manila home, waiting their turn to pay last respects at the flag-draped coffin. Aquino's body lay in the open coffin, still in the bloodstained clothes he died in the face disfigured by bruises and an undressed bullet wound.

His mother, Aurora Aquino, had insisted the military return his body to her untouched. "She wants the world to see what they did to her son," said Aquino's sister, Lupita Kashiwahara. "It's not beautiful, and we don't want any mortician to make him look beautiful." Leaders of the United Nationalist Democratic Organization, an opposition coalition, told reporters Marcos must take "command responsibility" for the assassination, noting that Aquino was killed while in military custody at the heavily guarded airport. At a news conference at Aquino's home, opposition Assemblyman Salvador H. Laurel said if Marcos does not answer several questions about the assassination, it could be "the end of his regime." He said the questions that needed answers were: Who killed Aquino, why was the killer there, who went aboard the plane to fetch Aquino, and were any of the security men involved in the assassination? In his televised news conference, Marcos said Aquino would not have been slain if he had heeded government warn- ings not to return to Manila because some groups planned to kill him.

Marcos said the enemies of Aquino included Communist rebels who wanted to avenge the death of fellow guerrillas whom the opposition leader supposedly ordered killed because they had testified against him in a trial for subversion. Aquino, a former senator, spent nearly eight years in prison, much of the time sentenced for death on subversion and murder convictions, until Marcos let him out in 1980 to go to the United States tor heart surgery. He stayed out of the Philippines until Sunday. Marcos said investigation indicated a subversive group, probably Communist-inspired, was out to "place (the government) in an awkward position, which they have." Marcos said he knows that no matter what he says there will be "some kind of shadow" on his government because of the killing. He said that if his government had wanted to kill Aquino it could simply have withheld medical treatment for his heart condition' while the opposition leader was imprisoned.

In Washington, State Department spokesman Alan Romberg character-, ized the "laying as a "political assassination" but said reports from Manila that he was killed by rifle shots fired by government security troops appear to be "erroneous." He said he had no further details on the U.S. Embassy reports from Manila. In California, President Reagan was asked by reporters whether he intends to go to the Philippines, as planned, in November. The president left open the possibility of cancellation, saying "I'm sure we'll be making a decision on that soon." The United States is the Philippines' closest ally and recently renegotiated a treaty to permit the United States to retain military bases in the Philippines in exchange for 1900 million in military aid. U.S.

Rep. Stephen J. Solarz, visiting Bangkok, Thailand, said Congress might not give the necessary approval if an inquiry shows the Marcos government was involved in the assassination. Marcos said: "I am a little angered by what is happening because no matter what explanation we make now there will be some kind of shadow over the The Japanese new agency Kyodo on Sunday quoted a witness as saying he saw military men shoot Aquino, then shoot the man who the government later said was the assassin. On Monday, the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun quoted a Japanese journalist as making similar claims, but the A caption in Sunday's Tyler Courrier' Officials from All Saints Episcopal Times-Telegraph said T.K.

He said "quality education is a limited resource of the state" and SFA needs admission requirements to "identify those students best able to take advan- tage of quality education." Johnson said teachers at Grace Community aren't required to have college degrees, but said three out of six teachers at the high school have masters degrees and one of the three has a Ph.D.

He said parents of prospective students are interviewed, and their children are admitted based on "whether the person is properly related to Jesus Christ and the authority of his Word. "God has given parents the responsibility to train their children and we assist them in that role. We don't think it's necessary for the state to interfere," Johnson said. SFA General Counsel Robert Provan said SFA administrators don't see the lawsuit "as a religious case" but rather a case that decides if we should have accreditation." "Che only substitute for accreditation would be for us to evaluate every high school itself." Provan said. Tanker Spill Near Luf kin Spurs Flight LUFKIN (AP) A truck trailer rig loaded with a flammable liquid overturned and spilled the toxic chemical Monday night prompting authorities to begin evacuating about 100 people who live within a two-mile radius of the wreck.

Sgt. William Jones of the Lufkin Fire Department said the truck overturned about 7 p.m. Monday some five to six miles south of Burke, which is just south of this East Texas city. "We have got a spill at this time and are in the process of evacuating the immediate area where the clouds could get to," Jones said. He said U.S.

Highway 59 had been sealed off both north and southbound for about three miles from the wreckage. Jones said the 18-wheeler trailer was carrying 306 cannisters containing organic peroxide, a poisonous chemical which may ignite when exposed to air. He said firefighters from Lufkin, Dieboll, and the suburb of Fuller Springs assisted in spraying water on the spill. "We are putting water on the spillage. It has to stay cool, or it would ignite or explode," Jones said, "We cannot really control where the wind blows.

It's going to be a long ordeal." Firefighter Rex Dickerson said "there seems to be little danger" to the area and that the leakage was under control, Betty Ecker, assistant director of nursing at Lufkin Memorial Hospital, said five people were brought in Monday night to the emergency room after being exposed to the chemical. "They were given oxygen for nausea," Ms. Ecker said. Ms. Ecker said one person had already been released and the others would probably be released later Monday night.

Jones said the fire department was working with the Chemical Transportation Emergency Center to evacuate residents and control the spill.

Yarbrough said the suspects stole approximately $650 in cash from the motel's register, $60 in jewelry and $15 in other items.

Yarbrough said the suspects apparently had checked into the motel earlier in the day before the aggravated robbery took place. "One of them was dressed in drag during the robbery," Yarbrough said. "He played the part (of a woman) well," she added. Pipkin testified against Shaid and said he had agreed with the government to plead guilty to related crimes.

The administration's admonition to the Marcos government, delivered simultaneously by Speakes in Los Angeles and by the State Department in Washington, was designed to pressure the Marcos government to determine who arranged to have Aquino shot Sunday in Manila.

A member of the anti-Marcos movement, Alex Es-clamado, publisher of the San Francisco-based Philippine News, sent Reagan a telegram urging him to cancel the Manila visit, warning it would be construed "as an open gesture of unconcern and even condonement of the brutal murder of Aquino.

A great majority of the Philippinos in the Philippines and in the United States will hold Mr. Marcos accountable for Aquino's assassination, regardless of any coverup story that the Marcos' regime may give. And former Vice President Walter Mondale, a Democratic presidential candidate, said Reagan could appear to be supportive of the repressive Marcos regime if he goes ahead with the visit, thereby bolstering th position of opposition leaders.
