The legislators will not re: turn until Tuesday. House Speaker Ben Barnes told members a final decision will come soon on the $3 billion- plus general appropriations bill.

Chairman (Jus Mutscher of jthe House Redistricting Comi said he expects to have a congressional redistricting I bill ready for House action by I late April or May 1. i The Brenham representative 'also instructed four subcommittee chairman to offer regional plans for redistricting the state legislature by May I. The House approved the Waco technical institute bill by voice vole. It was sponsored by Sens. Bill Moore of-Bryan and Murray Watson of Mart, and Rep.

The Senate had already passed the bill, but the House changed an "or" to "and" so further Senate action will be required. Gov. John Connally proposed the acquisition of the air base two weeks ago, noting that it is to be deactivated by the Air Force in September, 1966.

He proposed to have it ready to open by then as a vocational school serving the entire Southwest with an eventual enrollment of 2.500 Texas will supervise the institute, proposal to retrieve from Mexico one of the flags that flew over the Alamo won final approval when the House accepted a conference committee compromise.

However, Borger authorities are holding him in jail in lieu of the burglary complaint Iwlged against him. Borger police said the six arrests have cleared up several self-service laundry burglaries in Pampa, Borger. Lubbock and one in Amarillo.

Pampa Police Chief Jim Conner said today he planned to send an officer to Borger this afternoon to question the youths concerning the Pampa thefts. Yesterday, Borger police filed burglary charges against 18- year-old Tommy Henley of Pampa and a charge of desecration of graves against 19-year old DavjJ Ferguson.

Clements' lawyer, Clyde Woody, in a statement issued in Houston, blasted the court for its action and said he would conduct the "most lengthy and, expenive trial" the state has; ever his client.

Dist. Max Boyer Tnursday nullified Clements'; suspended sentence and or- 1 dered him to stand trial in Columbus, about 600 miles assay in the southern part ofj the state. Spearman is on the northern edge of the The judge's action apparently stemmed from a handwritten note Clements wrote after his: sentencing. Clements pleaded! no defense (nolo contendere) at his trial. Clements' Statement The statement said in part: ''When you reach the end of your plnsical endurance and when it appears that chances of getting a fair and impartial jury trial have been blocked by a saturation of misinformation by both press and television, it is time for a strategic retreat.

"1 did not plead guilty. "I am not guilty." Woody said the case had been moved to Columbus by "some mysterious means without the knossledge of my client, my office or me. Advised Plea "Due to Mr. Clements' health, I reluctantly advised hiiii to plead no contest which despite what anyone may suggest, is not a plea of guilty. If Mr Clements' doctor advises me that his health will permit, I will once and for all settle tne issue.

what I expect be one of the most lengthy and expensive trials the state of Texas has ever conducted." Clements' troubles with the law grew out of one of the many dealings of imprisoned farm promoter Billie Sol Estes, although Clements was not directly involved with Estes. He was charged specifically with committing theft by bor- rosving $37.690 from the Southwestern Investment Co. of Amarillo without having the collateral he said he did. Woody said that "it seems to me that the constant harassment of Mr. Clements will not tease until this matter is final! ly resolved.

I am going to demand an immediate trial for I Mr. Clements and there will be 'no quarter asked and none.giv- en." Clements was tried once bt Amarillo and sentenced to two i years in prison, but that conviction was overruled by a state appeals court. Clements was granted a change of venue i.to Spearman, 90 miles from but when his trial 1 opened last Monday, his law- yers sought another change "of venue.

S. prosecutors about a defendant's reputation or the strength of the evidence against him. The rules forbid Justice Department officials from discussing results of fingerprint, ballistics, polygraph the detector) or laboratory examination.

She said her family doctor had told her that nothing coukl be done for Carol and "it was jiiit a matter of days there svas 110 chance she could live with her diseased kidneys." "He cried along with me," recalls.

There, doctors gave Mrs. Robertson some hope for her dauehler she bad a 1 in 20 chance of being alive one year after (lie transplant operation. "A 14-year-old boy had died after the same operation short- Is before and I prayed that he had not died in sain," Mrs Robertson said.
