of West Germany, a decision that

The surprising decision was an-
nounced by Eugen Gerstenmaier,

Gerstenmaier said the ruling

However, in discussion, the board
decided It needed more informa-

had to decide one way or the oth-
er before today, tentatively okayed
the program.
As board member Dr. E. S. Clif-

our greatest weaknesses is the
inadequate testing and counseling

ber Raymond Wheeler.
Thus the Denton Board of Edu-
cation. with its throe newly elected
members, entered into a discus-
sion Monday night on whether the
schools should participate in a
federally financed testing and
guidance program coupled with a
similarly financed program for
new equipment in the science,
math and foreign languages de,
partments.
TENTATIVE OKAY
The board finally gave its tenta-
tive approval to the program with
Instructions to Strickland to gath-
er more information on what it
would cost and what it would pro-
vide "so we can withdraw grace-
fully if we don't like it," as board
member Royce Whitten put it.

BRIDGEPORT - Wise County
landowners may have to re-swal-
low and learn to live with a dark
brown taste they begsn coughing
up in recent months over dissatis-
faction with the way their land to
befog developed for natural gas
production.
That was indicated in Bridge-
port Monday night by Johnny
Mitchell of the Houston firm of
Christie. Mitchell & Mitchell. He
told 200 disgruntled landowners
that his firm — which owns 80
per cent of the oil and gas leases
in Wise County — "has every
right in the world to develop the
area as we’re now doing."
“People around here may not
understand the oil business." ac-
cused one landowner, “but they
do know when they've been city
slicked, and they feel CM&M did
a good job of it when they got
leases tied up."
The dark brown taste started
growing seven years ago when
M&M drilled gas wells and shut
them in, saying they were "prov-
ing" the area to secure a market.
Some of those wells, although now
tied to a pipeline, still have not
produced a penny in royalties to
landowners.
The taste became more bitter
when the owner of land on which
a well was located learned he's
have tn share royalties with ad-
jacent landownesr who Ifadh no
well.
And when a neighbor whose land
was being developed by another
company began receiving checks
soon after the first well was com-
pleted. the dark brown taste turn-
ed to gall.

merce. which has taken no public
side in the company-landowner is-
sues. arranged the Monday night

CAIRO (AP)-Reports that Sov-
ietzarmed Kurdish tribesmen are
being shipped through the Sues
Canal to Iraq aroused speculation
today and the Soviet Union is help-
ing Iraq Premier Abdel Karim Kas-
sem form a pro-Oommunist Fore-
ign Legion.
Egyptian authorities said three
Soviet ships — one carrying 855
fully armed Kurds and the other
two loaded with military equip-
ment-passed through the canal
since Sunday bound for Iraq’s big
Persian Gulf port of Basra.
The Kurds, though not Arabs,
are scattered through Arab re-
gions as wall aa into the Soviet
Union and make up one million of
Iraq's 1 million people. Many have
long dreamed of carving out their
own nation of the areas of north-
ern Iraq, western Iran and east-
ern Turkey which they inhabit.
SOVIET CITIZENS
Observers at Port Said reported
the tribesmen passing through the
canal were Soviet citizens of Kurd
ish origin, from the southernmost
regions of the Soviet Union The
United Arab Republic's Middle
East News Agency said the Soviet
Kurds were trained la guerrilla
fighting
The agency, without giving a
source, said more Soviet ships,
carrying new groups of Commu-
nists, are expected at Port Said
on route to Iraq.
There was no foreign confirma-
tion of the Egyptian reports. Nas-
aer has been waging a bitter com-

Marked By

Head judge Jewell Smith said re-
sults probably will be announced
within minutes of the closing.
City officials had hoped for a
large turnout of voters to sweep
the five council candidates into
office, but because the five are
running unopposed, voter interest

CANDIDATES
The five candidatea. backed by
the Denton Charter Assn., are
W F. Brooks Sr., Tom Laney, Dr.
Walter Miller. George F. Spuller
and G Emery Taylor The assoc-
iaion drafted these men at a town
meeting March 3.
Without opposition, these five
are considered sure bets for the
five new council seats. The five
will form Denton's first city coun-
cil under the council-manager form
of city govenment.
EIGHT PERSONS
Actually, the first council will be
composed of eight persons. Frank
Barrow, Tom Noel and Raymond

ton City Commission under the old
charter, still have a year to serve.
