jury investigation last February
and March remained in question
Tuesday afternoon following first
official consideration of the mat-
ter by the Taylor County Com-
missioners Court.
An "official" request that
the bill be paid the Rodgers and
Rodgers Court Reporting Service
was presented commissioners by
104th District Attorney Tom Todd
It was at Todd's request the
court reporting firm was hired to
take down testimony given before
the grand jury.
• The special grand jury probe
resulting in the bill was conduct-
ed in February and March in con-
nection with alleged irregularities
in the Taylor County Sheriff's of-
fice. Abilene Police Department
and activities of other county of-
fices
The jury returned a report criti-
cal of some offices to Judge Owen
Thomas. There were no criminal
indictments returned by the pan-
el.
Commissioners said at one point
they want to delay a final decision
until next week. However, a ques-
tion arose on whether the bill can
be considered then unless County
Auditor Herbert Middletoo pre-
sents it for consideration.
Commissioners Joe Cypert and
J.T. McMillon were doing most
of the questioning about the bill
Commissioner Grover Nelson also
posed questions on the matter in
stating he gave only individual
approval to the hiring of the re-
porting firm.
Questions led to questions after
County Attorney Bradley Miles
said he does not agree with an
Attorney General's opinion that
the bill is valid. Miles has written
an opinion for Middleton in which
tie said the bill is not valid.
County Judge Reed Ingalsbe
told commissioners he talked with
H. Don Rodgers about the bill. He
said Rodgers told him a standard
fee of $30 a day is charged for
Ingalsbe offered several times
to contact Rodgers and have him
appear before the commissioners.
This offer was accepted and later
declined.
Nelson questioned the necessity
of having three copies of the jury
testimony transcribed. He also
said he feels that the bill will
have to be paid, if it is reasons-1

“The only thing I've got to say
is that from now on if we do

“I'd like to know about it first."
McMillon agreed with this state-
ment. He also expressed criticism
at another point that the matter
did not come to the court's at-
tention before Rodgers’ firm was
hired. He also figured the tran-
script would cost “almost $300 a
day.”
Todd also said recording the
testimony "would have been an
impossible job for my secretary."
Nelson questioned Miles about
the county attorney's failure to

opinion. Miles in turn stated that

Captured
On Towboat
CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) -
George, the wandering sea lion,
was back in captivity Tuesday
caught through his own playful
nature and a fondness for canned
salmon.
George, fugitive from a Hun-
tington, W. Va., amusement park,
was en route down the Ohio River
Monday when he spotted the Cin-
cinnati-based towboat Claire E.
Beatty.
"I saw him coming from the
bank," said pilot Fred Walker. "I
could just see his head.
"Then he flapped in the water..
I thought he was a turtle, but he
was really flying.”
George playfully jumped aboard
the towboat That led to his down-
fall. The crew enticed him to a
cabin with a can of salmon and
shut the door. While there he con-
sumed three cans of salmon and
some of them. He said later he
was pointing out a law that pro-
vides payment of any bill cannot
be considered by the court unless
presented by the county auditor.
Middleton was asked about the
tax or is wanting to plunge the
state into financial chaos.'
Yarborough said in San Antonio
that it is Connally, not Yarbor-
ough, who is setting the stage for
passage of an income tax bill.
"It is Connally who is eyeing a
state income tax so his monopolis-
tic friends will be protected."
Yarborough said. "If his friends
would pay their fair share there
would be no need for a personal
income tax.”
Connally said in Orange that
Yarborough “is trying to promise
everything to everybody." He
said conservative estimates of
Yarborough's program have been
set at $300 million.
Yarborough said Connally has
lost support because of his pro-
posal to cut state employe sal-
aries and old age benefits.
Connally also stressed his ex-
perienced, mature and sound
and vigorous leadership in the
Gulf Coast area.
He spoke to Orange County
supporters Tuesday morning and
then went to Beaumont and Hous-

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina

by a 24-hour nationwide strike
called by the powerful General
Confederation of Labor in defi-
ance of government warnings that
it would further endanger the na-

but it promised to protect workers

Guido met with his Cabinet and
the armed forces chiefs to begin
putting into effect a disputed plan
to reorganize Argentina's political y
parties and ban Peronists from
organized political activity. In-
formants said the Peronists had
received orders from ex-dictator
Juan D Perea, in exile in Madrid,
to abandon their passive attitude
and aggressively resist govern-
ment attempts to remove them
from the political scene.

Motor Co, of San Benito, Tex.,
sold him a 1961 Ford convertible
which had a faulty headlight dim-

Mathis testified Monday he
dimmed his lights for an oncom-

switch again the headlights went
out. In the Christmas night ac-
cident in 1960, Mathis' car ran
off the road and hit a tree west
of Merryville, La.
Ford's attorneys, Virgil Sea-

caused the switch to break and
that Mathis was driving at an ex-
cessive rate of speed and was
sleepy at the time.
Jews Threatened
in Eichmann Case
BONN. Germany (AP)—A num-
ber of prominent West German
Jews have been threatened with
death if Adolf Eichmann is ex-
ecuted, the secretary-general of

Germany said Tuesday.
Dr Hendrik Van Dam, said this
was not necessarily a reaction
symptomatic to West Germany
since similar threats were re-
ceived by Jews in other countries
Van Dam made that statement
in an annual report on Jewish af-
fairs in Germany.
