Jerry Sadler's chief clerk identified himself Friday as the man to whom Sadler gave a $3,800 check for the use of Land Office personnel and equipment.

The check was to help pay for the printing of a booklet telling Sadler's side of the sunken treasure controversy. "I kept it in my desk because all the bills were not in," said Jack Giberson. "The commissioner might have wanted to pay more." Asked if he meant the commissioner might have needed to pay because more could have been paid latex-, but getting a refund from the state treasury would be said yes, that was the reason he kept it. Giberson said Sadler gave him the check on Jan. 6.

He said he turned It over to Luke Robinson; Land Office personnel director, on Jan. 26, four days after Sadler reportedly attacked a news photographer and refused to talk to newsmen who discovered the booklet being assembled behind a "no. admittance" door in the Land Office basement. The newsmen said Sadler-told them he paid the state for the booklet, "Treasure Tempest in Texas." On Jan. 26, Sadler showed iapltol newsmen copies of the $3,800 check, Dated Jan.

6, and a receipt for $1,200 cash, dated Jan. 22, the date of the reported attack. State Auditor. George McNieli pointed out that Sadler "very! probably could have had this printed at state expense, and the fact that he's paying makes' it look like he's bending over' backward." Sadler showed newsmen evidence on Jan. 26 that he paid Cor the booklet.

The question then became: When did he pay? An employe in the General Land Office accounting department suggested a couple of names before deciding he did not know who his office was authorized to take such a check from He suggested Giberson was the only man who could answer the question. Thus the search reached Giberson, who said he was the man Sadler gave the check to. If Sadler had decided to have the 50,000 copies of the booklet printed at state expense, he could not it.with Lane Office employes in the Lane Office basement. The state Constitution specifies that all printing for the state must be done under a contract awarded to the lowest bidder. The booklet tells Sadler's side of the recovery of sunken treasure -off Padre Island in 1967 by an Indiana firm.

The treasure is from a Spanish galleon that sank in a hurricane in 1553. The House of Representatives reprimanded Sadler last September for "misleading" a House committee in testimony about the treasure. Mrs. Rainer's Rites Planned FLOYDADA (Special) Services for Mrs. Mable May Rainer, 59.
