U.S. Sen Lloyd Bentsen
said White’s election was
"one of the most exciting
political victories in the
history of the state."
Today’s noon ceremony,
expected to draw up to 8,000
people, would be a "crisis
situation" if the rains come,
organizers said

flow if we have to go
indoors." Spence said
Right after White is sworn
in, he plans to lead a proces-
each.
Among those not in town to-
day for the festivities was Bill

Electrical power to half of
the city of Hereford and much
of the county northeast of
town to the Randall County
line was interrupted for some
30 minutes Monday evening
after a string of insulators on
a Deaf Smith Electric Co-op
line about 15 miles north of
town were destroyed.
According to REC Opera-
tions Manager Loran Nixon
the problem was probably
caused by persons shooting
the insulators with shotguns
We suspect that the in-
sulators were shot off since

tion was the beginning of
