2 PAMPA OAIIY NIWS Pampa, Texas 88th Year Thursday, May 30, 1974 OVER SALUTATOR1AN Boy, Girl Involved In Action In Court Convention Developing Payroll Crisis Obituaries PORT ISABEL, Tex. (UPh A boy and a girl who went all the way through high school as good friends are now enemies because they are involved in a court suit that could declare which one graduates with higher honors. The suit that could determine which one graduates as the salutatorian of Port Isabel High School will be heard Friday in district court. Judge Darrell Hester of 197th District Court at Brownsville will preside at a hearing on Lucile Bernal's suit against the Port Isabel School Board seeking an injunction to prevent Jose Banda from receiving the honor as the school's second -ranking graduate. Toll's His Mother The controversy started, according to board member William Barrera, when at midterm the school calculated grade points to be sent to various universities.

"Somebody told the boy he was second. But this included all the grades, all the subjects they were taking," Barrera said. "From what I gather, the boy went home and told his mother he was second. "But when it came down to figuring valedictorian and salutatorian, they just figured the actual grades for honor students, which excluded P.E. and band and other activities.

So the girl came out second." Upset because her son was not salutatorian as previously thought, Demicio Banda last week went to the school board with attorney Eddy Rodriguez and convinced its members previous policy should be changed and all grades should be calculated to determine graduating honors.

Entered as second-class matter under the act March 1878 right thing, really," Barrera said. "The school board member conceded it appeared to be a mistake to take the honor away from either student." Both Miss Bernal and Banda averaged 92 through high school. "Our lawyer was not present and this other lawyer (Banda's) proceeded to tell us these rules were conflicting.

Whether they are or not, I don't know. There were a lot of people in the boys favor. It would have stirred up a lot of trouble. Since everybody was in favor of changing this thing, I went along also." Declines To Shire Barrera said it was suggested that there be two salutatorians this year, but that young Banda was against it. "He wanted all the apples," the school board member said.

"I felt an injustice was done to me because I wasn't represented at the school board meeting," Miss Bernal said of her suit. "I was just shocked at the outcome. They had never used P.E. or band before." Miss Bernal, who plans to attend Texas Southmost College and Pan American University, said she always strove to be at the head of her class. "I really worked hard during my high school years," she said.

"We were pretty good friends. Things have changed since that." Court Upholds Contentions Of Lester Roloff AUSTIN, Tex. (UPI) The State Supreme Court has defined children as persons under 16 in matters involving welfare and child care. The court's definition upheld the contentions of evangelist Lester Roloff and is a defeat for attorney GeneralJohnHill. The court said Wednesday Roloff cannot be held in contempt of court for illegally operating a child care institution because his Corpus Christi home for girls did not violate any state regulations.

Adults Are 18 At dispute in the controversy was the definition of adults. Roloff contended adults had to be over 16. The attorney general said adults were 18 years old or older. The court said the state's definition of an adult is ambiguous but welfare regulations which governed the Roloff case set the cutoff date for adulthood at 16. Roloff was fined $5,000 and sentenced to five days in jail for contempt of court, but was released from jail and freed on bond pending the outcome of his appeal to the Supreme Court.

Agrees To Order He agreed to an order issued Aug. 3, 1973, that closed his Corpus Christ! home on the grounds it did not meet licensing requirements specified by the Welfare Department. But he said at the time he thought the state's definition of children was persons under 16. Roloff had seven girls under 18 at the home after it officially closed, but at least two of them were over 16. The law permits up to six children to be kept at such homes without a state license.

The British government reimposed direct rule on Northern Ireland Wednesday afternoon hours after Protestant militants ended a devastating general strike that brought the province to the brink of collapse. The walkout forced the fall of an historic, six-month-old coalition government in which the Roman Catholic minority shared power with the Protestant majority for the first time in Northern Ireland's halfcentury history.

Wheeler, on the birth of a girl at 2:36 a.m., weighing 6ozs. Britain sent Northern Ireland Secretary Merlyn Rees to Belfast today to confer with leaders of the province's Assembly about the possibility of setting up a new ProtestantCatholic coalition government. Militant Protestant leaders rejected the move, however, and threatened to resume their crippling strike unless Britain calls new legislatve elections in the province. "The industrial action will be resumed with a ferocity that has not yet been seen if the British government ignores the wishes of the majority," Protestant militant leader William Craig said. Many among the province's 1 illion Protestants greeted the toppling of the "Executive" power-sharing government with jubilation and street celebrations.

The 500,000 Roman Catholics responded with bitterness. "Now the British know who the real wreckers are," Mrs. Martha Ryan, a Catholic housewife, said in Belfast. "The Protestants can dance and sing as much as they like, but there is no going back to the old ways for us." Some Form In London, Prime Minister Harold Wilson told a television audience Rees would try to get assembly leaders "to agree to some form of power the most important thing." Within hours of the strike's end, natural gas supplies and public transport were moving again. Most stores reopened, although grocers said shortages created by the walkout were likely to continue for some time.

Many light manufacturing plants resumed operations, but officials said Belfast shipyards and other heavy industry would stay closed until full energy was available not until Monday. Slid. "It hid been expended." the Administration Committee approved a proposed $1.1 million budget Wednesday to operate the convention from May 1 to July 30. Cole said the cost of House operations had increased during the convention consuming funds the House was expected to channel into convention financing. The new budget prepared by Cole requires the convention add 100 House employes to the convention payroll to reduce House operating costs and keep the lower chamber from going into the red before the end of the year.

"If this budget is not passed, we will have to make some adjustments in the House payroll to the detriment of the convention," Cole said. Group Giving Warning About IUD Devices WASHINGTON (UPI) The Planned Parenthood Federation is warning hundreds of thousands of women using certain contraceptive devices to have them removed because of a complication which has resulted in the death of four women. The warning was issued Wednesday by the federation's National Medical Committee, which told the organization's 700 birth control clinics across the country to take precautions with the Dalkon Shield. The device, made by A. Robins Richmond, may have been used by as many as 2.2 million women, although it has a limited life span and fewer than that are now believed in use.

The committee last week urged the clinics to stop prescribing the device and to inform women to check in for an examination if signs of pregnancy develop. Wednesday, the committee reiterated those warnings but went a step farther. It said its affiliates should now advise all patients with the Dalkon Shield to report to their local clinics, where "they should be advised of a serious risk to their health in the event that they should become pregnant with the IUD in place and choose to continue the pregnancy." Such patients, it said, should then be given the chance to select a different type of contraceptive. Dr. Celso Ramon Garcia, chairman of the committee, was asked at a news conference if that meant the organization was in effect urging women to give up the Dalkon Shield.

He said it did, since that would be the effect when women check in at the clinics. He added, however, that the committee hoped to avoid "rumor and hearsay (which) could lead to widespread panic and unjustified abandonment" of lUDs in general.

If the cannot be settled over the telephone, an area backup person in the caller's town, can attempt to help him. Six of these backup people are located in Pampa but several area communities, lack volunteers, Losher explained. Ending last spring, the first hotline number lasted two years and received 2,200 to 2,300 calls during its existence. In the beginning, the line got approximately 10 calls daily but in the course of the two years the number, dwindled until only 15 calls per month came through before it folded. Losher explained that the calls dropped off when teenagers found out who the volunteers were and were hesitant to talk with someone they knew.

The line was moved to Amarillo so that area teenagers could not find out who the volunteers were.
