Strikers balloting
on offer by Convair
MISSILE STRIKE BJT
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (AP) —
Machinists today were voting on
ah offer by Convair that could ease
the missile industry’s labor trou-
bles, as strike deadlines neared
for 50,000 other workers.
The International Assn, of Ma-
chinists began polling 30,000 mem-'
bers Monday night on an offer
that involves field wage rates,

and senority at Atlas missile bas-
es struck eight days ago.
The strike, stretching from Cape
Canaveral in Florida to Califor-
nia's Vanderberg Air Force Base,
has tied up the sites that test and
fire the mighty Atlas—the United
States' only operational intercon-
tinental missile.
IAM spokesmen said, however,
that the supplemental offer by
Convair concerns only the outside
missile sites and does not affect

directive that they cross the lines
because "the company is getting

Johnson forces far outnumber
By LEE JONES
AUSTIN (AP) —Sen. Lyndon
Johnson says nothing can stop
the Democrats in November pro-
vided they "keep their heads,
don’t go off the deep end, and
remain united.”
Divisiveness, the candidate for
the Democratic presidential no-
mination told his audience Mon-
day night at a $50-a-plate Johnson-
for-presldent dinner, plays into
the hands of both Nixon and
Khrushchev.
Johnson spoke to some 3,500
Democrats gathered to pay hom-
age not only to the senator, but
also to Gov. Price Daniel, Speaker
of the House Sam Rayburn, and
former Vice President John Nance
Garner. Garner could not attend.
"I think good Democrats should
refuse to do Mr. Nixon’s work for
him,” Johnson said. “I am con-
fident that we can unite our
party. Dissent solely for the pur-
pose of dividing and disrupting
the party serves no purpose but
Mr. Nixon’s.”
Johnson said one of Khrush-
chev’s motives in using the U-2
incident to wreck the Paris Sum-
mit conference was to cause dis-
illusionment and division in the
United States.
"I don't think he accomplished
this.” he said. "We left him in no
doubt. We told him the Demo-
cratic Party would not do his
work for him by dividing America
in this perilous hour.”
Johnson’s fellow congressmen,
and the whole passel of state
officials joined the cheering, clap-
ping throng that jammed Muni-
cipal Auditorium.
Rep. Homer Thornberry said 18
Texas members of the House of
Representatives were present."
Thornberry recognized a long
list of state officials that included
State Treasurer Jesse James,
Comptroller Robert S. Calvert,
"I should be ashamed if any
group of Texans goes to Lo sAn-
geles to try to defeat Lyndon
Johnson. It would be a perform-
ance I would not enjoy and would
not forget.”

pudiation of the statement, Rand
Dixon, subcommittee counsel, sug-
gested that perhaps LaMotta
feared reprisals.
‘T'm not afraid of none of them
bums,” LaMotta said.-
Asked whether he was afraid
for his brother Joey, LaMotta re-
plied:
“I’m not afraid of none Of them
rats.”
Dixon: “This isn’t a very
healthy thing. . . .”
LaMotta: "I guess so.”
After the statement was read
into the record, LaMotta was
asked whether it was a fact that
"Daly and Palermo were men-
tioned by your brother” in con-
nection with the bribe offer.
"They were not,” he replied.
“Somebody was mentioned but I
don’t remember who.”
John G. Bonomi, subcommittee
associate counsel, invited LaMot-
ta to think back on a previous
interview with James McShane, a
subcommittee investigator.
“You stated to him you were
offered a $100,000 bribe in the Fox
fight and the offer came from
Blinky Palermo and Bill Daly,”
Bonomi, said.
"I deny that,” LaMotta retort-
ed. ”1 never said that.”
Bonomi then said LaMotta had
given the same statement in a
May interview with McShane and | Clingan says.

“You put words In my mouth,”
LaMotta flared. “It was never
said that way.”

Clingan died of a heart attack in

pointed to serve as county clerk,
filling the vacancy left by the
death of her husband
IT WAS EARLIER- this year that
a mutual friend told Wright that
Mrs. Clingan was new/ a widow.
Remembering the girl he had
known in Sherman, he returned
there expecting that she would
likely return to her old home town.
There a sister gave him the ad-
dress of Mrs. Clingan, and he
made the trip which led to the
elevator meeting. Five times in the
interim, he has visited Levelland.
And letters have been Interspers-
ed between the visits.
Although he has retired after a
career with a pipeline company,
Mrs. Clingan found that her old
friend of earlier years was still
very interested in everything which
goes on around him. He’s an avid
green-thumb gardener, and a fish-
erman. He keeps busy at wood-
working 'and other projects.
THE PROSPECT OF starting
life over again at retirement age
strikes Mrs. Clingan as “wonder-
ful.”
And the best thing about it all,
she confides, is that her children
are pleased and like their pro -
spective step father very much.
These children are Harold E.
Clingan Jr. and Mrs. Earl D.
Champion.
Wright’s children are Bill Wright,
a newspaper man at Las Vegas,
Nevada, and Mrs. Bill Gray, who
has just returned from the Phil-
ippines, where her husband has
been serving.
MRS. CLINGAN has resigned her
position as county clerk, effective
June 30, and heads on vacation—
a very unusual vacation on June
18.
She's deeding her property here
to her children, so she won’t have
to worry about it.

AUSTIN, Tex. — In looking for-

BEACH SUIT FILED — Attorney
General Will Wilson has joined
Nueces County officials in getting
a court order to stop barricading
of beaches on Padre Island by pri-
vate landowners.
Action stems from the open
DON’T FENCE US OUT - You
can ride horseback to your heart’s
content in “the Davis Mountains
State Park, but be sure to close the
gate as you come and go.
This is the gist of a State Su-
preme Court ruling n a case which
pitted the State Parks Board a-
gainst the owners of grazing rights
in the Davis Park.
State has a long - term lease
on the land for park use with graz-
ing rights reserved by the land-
owners. Owners declared public
horseback riding in the 1,340-acre
area interfered with grazing and
padlocked the gates. Parks Board
contended the riding was a legiti-
mate park use to which the pub-
lic was entitled.
Supreme court agieed, but add-
ed that some safeguards should be
set up so the grazing cattle would-
n’t be let loose. High court sent the
ture last summer. This law, hotly
debated, affirmed public owner -
ship of beaches and guaranteed
public access to them.
Padre Island Land and Develop-
ment Co., which put up the barri-
cades, claims prop,?r*y rights up to
the water’s edge as a result of a
Spanish land grant.
Another suit has been filed at
Galveston where a similar situa-
tion developed.
Final decision on who can go
swimming where will hinge on
court interpretation of the law.
TIDELANDS STUDY URGED—
Jerry Sadler, Democratic nominee
for land commissioner, has sugges-
ted that careful study should be
made to determine what action the
next legislature should take to in-
sure legal and orderly development
of Texas tideiands.
Sadler suggested the state should
chart its course carefully to avoid

EMPLOYMENT HITS PEAK —
Employment in Texas hit an all-
time high this spring with 3,454,000
job holders, Texas Employment
Commission announ-ed.
High point was hit in April. Part
of it was attributed to the usual
good - weather pickup in farm and
construction activity, part of it to
industrial expansion.
A further increase in farm em-
ployment is forecast as planting,
irrigating and cultivating work gets
into full swing.
Non-farm employment rose by
32.000 between Marr-n and April,
hitting a total of 3,053,100.
