Begin Threatens Mideast Talks
Angry, Defiant Israelis Disclose
Plans for West Bank Expansion
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A defiant Israeli government, angered
by U.S. statements on the Palestinian is-
sue and trying to cool political dissent at
home, disclosed plans Thursday to ex-
pand its settlements on the West Bank of
the Jordan River. The move could raise
a major new obstacle in the Israeli-
Lgyptian peace talks.
Secretary of State Cyrus Vance
reacted quickly and sharply to the unex-
pected Israeli decision, issuing a state-
ment in Washington saying the Carter
administration was "deeply disturbed”
by the action and calling it a “very
serious" matter.
THE STATE Department said Presi-
dent Carter sent a personal cable to
Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin
on the subject.
In Cairo, meanwhile, Prime Minister
Roberts Discusses
Inflation, Legislation
By BECKY HIRSCHHORN
Daily Reporter
Congressman Ray Roberts, who is
running for re-election against
Republican Frank Glenn in the Nov. 7
general election, gave his assessment of
President Carter’s anti-inflation
program and discussed legislation pas-
sed in the 95th Congress during an NT
campaign stop Thursday.
Roberts said he objects to the provi-
sion in the president's voluntary wage
and price control program where, if in-
flation were to exceed 7 percent, workers
who are members of collective bargain-
ing groups which hold wage demands to
the prescribed level would receive tax rc-

Roberts
funds to make up the difference.
Carter is asking that annual increases
in wages and fringe benefits be held to 7
percent at most and price increases be
limited to half a percentage point under
what they averaged in 1976 and 1977.
Since the proposals were made after
Congress adjourned, Roberts said all he
knows of them is what he has seen on
television and has read in the press.
Roberts said he believes business will
support the program but is unsure that
labor will.
Roberts said he hopes most organiza-
tions will lend their support, calling the
plan "a step in the right direction”
because it increases public awareness of
the problem.
Roberts said he personally favors tax
incentives to increase production to help
cure inflation.
The tax bill passed in the last session is
"the best since I’ve been in Congress,
because it’s oriented toward business
and toward the taxpayers who need it
most, in the $20,000 to $60,000
catagory,” he said. His only regret about
the bill is that it does not include a tui-
tion tax credit, he said.
Roberts said he opposes the energy
bill which gives the Interstate Commerce
Commission the power to allocate and
set prices for the interstate natural gas
market.
He believes the bill is “designed to
keep industries anchored up there in the
snowbelt" because it gives the federal
government the right to say where the
gas which industry relies on goes, he
said.
Although he voted for the Equal
Rights Amendment when it was
originally proposed, Roberts said he
voted against extending the period for its
ratification because the procedure was
unconstitutional. It should have been
done by a two-thirds margin instead of
by a simple majority, he said.
Mustafa Khalil said the Egyptian
government was considering recalling its
negotiations from the peace talks in
Washington for consultations.
HE DESCRIBED the possible recall
as “purely routine” and said it was not
related to the Israeli decision on West
Bank settlements. It might mean another
interruption in the negotiations, which
were scheduled to resume Friday. And
even Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe
Dayan acknowledged that expansion of
the settlements “may make it difficult”
to reach a final agreement with Egypt on
a treaty.
Begin’s decision to strengthen the
West Bank enclaves could help appease
growing conservative opposition to
Israeli concessions in a peace pact.
The decision apparently emerged
from the Israeli Cabinet’s three-day
debate over the Egyptian-lsraeli treaty
draft. Though the meetings were secret,
officials did not deny that Begin sug-
gested “thickening” the settlements to
win votes from reluctant Cabinet
ministers for the draft agreement and his
proposed amendments to it.
GOVERNMENT officials said Israeli
leaders were furious at statements made
by U.S. Assistant Secretary of State
Harold Saunders on a recent Mideast
swing to raise support for the Camp
David framework agreements from
moderate Arab states and from Pale-
stinians in the West Bank.
Saunders reportedly suggested, in a
closed meeting with Palestinian leaders,
that Israel might eventually relinquish
its 50 West Bank settlements in exchange
for full peace. He was reported to have
said Washington still considers East
Jerusalem, which Israel has annexed, to
be “occupied territory.”
Though the Camp David accords
provide for a freeze on the building of
new Jewish settlements—the duration of
the freeze is in dispute—they do not pre-
vent Israel from expanding existing out-
posts in occupied lands.

Candidates Attend Area Meeting
Aspirants Discuss in Dallas Education, Oil, Opponents
A “Candidates Forum,” giving area
voters the chance to meet and question
political aspirants for federal, state and
local offices, was held Wednesday night
in the Norlhpark Inn Center Complex in
Dallas.
The forum was co-sponsored by the
Sun Co. Inc., the Responsible Citizen
Program, the Texas Association of
Business and the League of Women
Voters.
The candidates participating in the
‘‘town meeting” were allowed five
minutes to speak.
LUIS DIAZ DeLeon, La Raza Unida
candidate for the U.S. Senate, was first
to speak. “I think the most important
thing in this race is education," he said.
“Schools today don’t prepare youth to
deal with the total world. The whole
world isn’t an English speaking world
and we should realize that.”
Miguel Pendas, Socialist Worker’s
Party candidate for U.S. Senate, spoke
after DeLeon. He said he felt the state
had conducted very undemocratic elec-
tions in the past. “The minority party
has not been well represented in this
state. The working people need a choice
in this election and we need to hear the
other side of the story. It is a shame that
under a capitalist society the working
people can’t get an even break. We need
to tax the rich and big business. The
Socialist Party is for human needs, not
profit."
Jim Baker, a Houston-based
Republican lawyer and candidate for at-
torney general, said the first issue he
would work on as attorney general
would be the rising crime rate. We need
to change the parole system so there
won’t be so many people back in jail
once released.”
HIS OPPONENT, incumbent Mark
White, stressed education in grade
school and teaching children the "rights
and wrongs about the legal system in
Texas 1 think if children know from a
very young age w hat is expected of them
as far as the law goes, there would be less
crime."
James Luce, candidate for Railroad
Commissioner, said he has spent most of
his working life in some form of oil
business and stated that no member of
the Railroad Commission is a member
of the oil and gas industry. “I have
been around this type of work all my
life,” he said. “The Texas Railroad
Commission has the responsibility of
regulating one-third of the nation's
energy. The oil and gas industry pays 22
percent of the taxes in Texas."
Incumbent John Poerner called the
commission the state's energy and com-
merce office. “We have to sit as judge to
see what is good for all of the people of
this state, but we also have to make sure
that Texas gets what she needs from the
oil industry,” he said.
JANA PELLUSCH, Socialist
Worker's Party candidate for the same
position, said her first effort as commis-
sioner would be to dismantle the nuclear
power plant being erected by Dallas
Power & Light in Glenrose. "The plant
is too expensive and nuclear power has
not been found safe enough for the peo-
ple who have to live around it.” she said
Incumbent Lt. Governor Bill Hobby
said he would continue the Texas policy
of no state income taxes. “This state is
one of the few left in the country that
doesn't tax its citizens. We ,iave been
very successful in the past 10 years in ob-
taining new businesses. I would like to
be able to keep that trend up as iieute-
nant governor," he said
Gaylord Marshall, Republican can-
did ite for the office of lieutenant gover-
nor, said he would like to see a business
state that would “give $1 worth of
business for every $1 paid out. Mr Hob-
by has been in office six years and the
price of state government has doubled I
don't think anyone will argue that we
haven't gotten twice as much from our
state in that time. I want to cut wasteful
spending by this state's government."
Other candidates who attended the
forum but did not address the audience
included hopefuls for the Texas House
of Representatives, Dallas County judge
and commissioner, and Collin County
judge and commissioner.

Raza Unida Candidates Confront Issues Today
Mario Compean and Luis DeLeon, Raza Unida candidates for governor
and senator, will speak at 12:30 p.m. today in the One O’clock Lounge of the
University Union.
The candidates will discuss tax relief, civil rights and the "Tortilla Curtain,”
a proposed 12-loot-high barrier to be built between El Paso and Juarez, Mex-
ico, Domingo Garcia, a spokesman for the candidates, said.
DeLeon will discuss his allegation that supporters of Democratic senatorial
candidate Bob Krueger offered him a job and $2 million in inducements to
drop out of the senate race, Garcia said.
Noxious Fumes Drive Students From Terrill
Noxious fumes caused by spilled chemicals Thursday forced the evacuation
of more than 100 students, faculty and office personnel from Terrill Hall.
Dan Jasheway of the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine staff was car-
rying a one-gallon container of the chemical base pyridine when it fell and
shattered on the third-floor stairwell of the building,
Jasheway used a shower in the building to dilute the chemical which spilled
on his leg. He was later treated at the NT Health Center and released.
Pyridine is a flammable, colorless liquid produced in the distillation of coal
tar or bone oil and is used in the synthesis of vitamins and drugs as a solvent.
Assistant Denton Fire Chief Danny Jenkins said the chemical can be ex-
plosive when enough air is present in the area, and that if inhaled in large
quantities it attacks respiratory tissues.
The spilled chemical was neutralized with an acid base and the building was
allowed to ventilate before the building was reopened at 5:30 p.m.
Regents To Review Faculty Teaching Load
A policy on minimum faculty teaching load is one of the items to be con-
sidered by the Board of Regents at its meeting at 9 a.m. today in the Board
Room of the Administration Building.
While NT has had teaching norms, it has not had a regents policy on the
question.
The proposed policy w>ould set a minimum load of three regular courses,
with formulas for giving credit for other types of faculty duties, but Dr. Miles
Anderson, vice president for academic affairs, said the policy would define
minimum rather than norm or maximum requirements. Most faculty members
would continue to teach more courses than the minimum.
A regents’ policy statement on small classes will be considered. It would
provide guidelines for approval of small classes, which are defined as classes
with fewer than 10 students on the undergraduate level and fewer than five on
the graduate level.
The regents will consider a proposal to sell $28,000 worth of surplus shop
equipment from the physics department. *
Acting as the regents for the Health Sciences Center/Texas College of
Osteopathic Medicine, the board will consider a proposal to create an institute
of Forensic Medicine.
Under the proposal, Di. Feliks Gwozdz, a forensic pathologist, would com-
mit 65 percent of his time to the new institute and the remainder to his duties
as Tarrant County medical examiner. The medical examiner’s office would be
moved to the Central Clinic Building at NTSU/TCOM.
History Department To Sponsor Conference
The American Historical Association and the NT history department will
sponsor a conference on the Teaching of History today and Saturday for in-
terested faculty or staff members or students.
The conference will look at the problems confronting the discipline of
history at all levels, particularly the declining interest and enrollment in
history departments across the nation.
Dr. William Painter, conference coordinator, said the history professionals
are most immediately affected by this problem, but in contrast to the decline
of history, the novels, plays, movies and television presentations concerning
heritage are at an all-time high.
The conference intends to examine the problem and aid secondary
educators, historians and administrators to solve it.
The conference will include a dinner at 7 tonight and a luncheon at 12:30
p.m. Saturday.
The preregistration fee is $7.50 without meals, $10 with lunch only and
$12.50 for both dinner and lunch.
There will be a $1 extra charge for registration at the door.
Baptists Close Week With Covered Dinners
The Baptist Student Union will sponsor a covered dish dinner at 7 p.m. to-
day for the closing of “International Emphasis Week."
Kenny Robinson, international student coordinator, said that the BSU
declared this week as "International Emphasis Week" to promote fellowship
and friendship between American and International students
For Friday’s dinner, international students should bring a dish representing
the cooking of their country. Students may come in their international dress.
Entertainment and fellowship will follow the buffet dinner.
Students who wish to prepare a dish but do not have cooking facilities
available should contact Robinson at the Baptist Student Center
Recreation Society To Visit General Dynamics
The North Texas Parks and Recreation Society will have a field trip at 2
p.m. today to visit General Dynamics in Fort Worth.
General Dynamics is a federal building where planes are built.
After the trip, the group will go ice skating and out to eat, Debbie Arms,
publicity chairman for the club, said.

Civilization
Slips Into
Luckenbach
LUCKENBACH (AP)—Civilization
is slowly creeping into this Hill Country
community, immortalized in song and
legend.
First, the police chief of Plains, Ga.,
donated a parking meter that usually
reads "time expired" until weekend fun-
seekers arrive.
Now, General Telephone of the
Southwest has installed a pay phone to
provide a 25 cent link with the world
outside this hamlet
Established in 1849, Luckenbach at-
tained national prominence only recent-
ly through the promotion of the late
Hill Country humorist, Hondo Crouch,
and the popular song by Waylon Jenn-
ings and Willie Nelson.
The new phone hangs on the corner of
the general store run by the town’s
owner, Kathy Morgan, who doesn't
think it will change things much
"Despite all the modern new gadgets,
indicating economic growth in the com-
munity, Luckenbach will remain a place
'Where everybody is somebody,' " she
said
Should anyone wish to call Lucken-
bach. the number is (512) 997-7711.
