We had the opportunity a few weeks ago to Inspect

Imb I the new Houston domed stadium.
In company with a group of Texas newspaper men,
as guests of the Houston National League Baseball Club,
we were taken inside the huge sky-llghted structure.
Hiere seated In the circular
concrete stands at the fourth
level we observed the huge
playing arena and listened, for
more than 30 minutes, while

features and described how the

make the 30 million dollar in-
vestment pay off for the citi-
zens of Houston and Harris
County.

ding to Judge llofheinz.
The domed stadium is still a
long way from completion. The
steel framework is up, the dome
roof has been completed, the
circular concrete seating levels
and ramps have been [mured
but there are still months of
work to be done inside the fab-

On foreign policy. for ex-
| ample, the 196*1 [dank calls for.
a far tougher stand aimed at
"victory" in flashes with Com-
munist nations around the
globe. It specifically endorses1
blockades and interception of
supplies to Communist guer-
illas to abolish "privileged (
sanctuaries" in the struggle j
against subversion.
In 1969, the emphasis was on ,
securing pence against Commu-
nist inroads through a policy of]
"firmness" and continuation of
a bipartisan approach is for-
eign affairs. This year’s plat-
form accused the Democrats of
following a Munich - like policy
of appeasement in dealing with
Ihe Soviets
On civil lights the I960 plank
was summed up this way
"We plcdre the full use o f
the power, resources and lead-
ership of the federal g ivern-
ment to eliminule discrimina-
tion based on race, color, re-
ligion or national origin and to
encourage understanding and
