Tuesday, May 1, 1973 THE BATTALO Demos Knock Attorney General Choict HURON, Ohio hT) — Top Dem ocrats said Monday that Presi dent Nixon’s choice of a new at torney general from within his administration won’t satisfy the public demand for total disclos ure of all facts surrounding the Watergate case. National Chairman Robert S. Strauss and Govs. Marvin Mandel of Maryland, Wendell Ford of Kentucky, Milton Shapp of Penn sylvania and John J. Gilligan of Ohio immediately criticized Nix on’s choice of Secretary of De fense Elliot L. Richardson to re place Atty. Gen. Richard Klien- dienst. “A designated pinch hitter,” scoffed Mandel. “He’s continuing to use the inner sanctum to fill the places of responsibility,” Ford said, de claring that wide consultation and choice of outsiders “wou!<l have made more of an impres sion on the public.” News of the change at the Justice Department and the resignation of three top White House officials in the wake of the Watergate scandal reached the Democratic governors here Legislature Backload Grows AsAdjournmen tApproaches Texas Press Association AUSTIN — Legislators have a lot more left to do than they have done so far in almost four months. Of the nearly 1,700 House bills and almost 1,000 Senate bills in troduced, fewer than 100 actually have reached the Governer’s desk. If the 63rd Legislature accom plishes as much as the 62nd did numerically (more than 1,000 bills passed), about 99 per cent of the floor action must be capsuled in the brief period before the May 28 adjournment deadline. Slow-moving debate in the House — where more than 200 amendments were offered — on Language Prof Honored As ‘Father Of Singing Cadets’ Dr. Joseph J. Woolket, profes sor emeritus of modem languages, was honored Saturday as “the father of the Singing Cadets.” Woolket was presented, a plaque by Singing Cadets Director Rob ert L. Boone at the choral group’s annual awards banquet. James L. Randolph, incoming president from Wickett, was nam ed the outstanding Singing Cadet of 1972-73 and four Honorary Singing Cadets including Presi dent Jack K. Williams were nam ed. “Dr. Woolket brought the Sing ing Cadets into the world,” Boone noted in announcing the award. “In 1938 he organized an all-male choral group of students and con ducted a campus-wide contest in 1940 to name them.” “The enthusiasm and effort Dr. Woolket put into those years more than qualify him to be called ‘The Father of the Singing Cadets’,” the director added. Named honorary members with Dr. Williams were Mrs. George Patterson of Bay City and Mr. and Mrs. James McLeroy of Hous ton. The McLeroys provide a $100 award that goes to the outstand ing member of the TAMU glee club. Mrs. Patterson provides a one-person welcoming committee for the Cadets’ performance in Bay City each year. Boone cited Dr. Williams sup port of the Singing Cadets. Individual awards also were made by Boone to the 41-member group, which will graduate 15. Recognized by length of member ship, the awards included 18-se mester members Jimmy D. Cain, oceanography doctoral student, and Tim J. Webb, veterinary med icine Ph.D. candidate. Bergie W. Anderson, psychology graduate student, completed 12 semesters. Randolph succeeds Fred C. Campbell Jr. of San Antonio as president. Serving with Randolph in 1973-74 will be vice president William E. Reeves of Orange; publicity manager Tim Webb, Houston; treasurer William R. Meredith, Del Rio, and tour man ager, William L. Branson, Snyder. the $9.7 billion appropriation bill fanned some speculation that a special session may be necessary to complete mandatory work. Gov. Dolph Briscoe, who holds the key to calling such a session, has made clear he doesn’t want one. Senators banged through their $9.5 billion version of the state budget in an hour and 21 minutes. In spite of the two weeks spent on the House spending bill, Speak er Price Daniel Jr. maintained “plenty of time” remains to con sider other “must” legislation. Daniel predicted House passage of these measures before May 28: * Mass transit. * Drug law reform. * Bills to improve fiscal respon sibility in government appropria tions. * Restoral of capital punish ment. * Penal code revision. * Water district reform. * Public school finance. * Competitive insurance rating. While the work load appears staggering, Texas legislators are used to concentrating most of their floor action in the last month of their sessions. just after they adopted a resolu tion urging “total and full dis closure of all facts relating to the Watergate case as quickly as possible.” They also called on Nixon to name an independent prosecutor for the case, possibly one recom mended by the American Bar As sociation. “It is our belief,” the gover nors said, “that the restoration of confidence in government is imperative to move this nation toward resolution of pressing do mestic problems.” Gov. Dale Bumpers of Arkan sas, chairman of the Democratic Governors Caucus, hailed the resignations and Nixon’s an nouncement of Monday night’s television address to the nation as indicating that “what we’xe recommending is at hand.” But other Democratic state ex ecutives were more skeptical of the White House moves an nounced Monday. Mandel, who heads the bi partisan national Governors Con ference, complained about Rich ardson’s selection: “It’s alwayi the same people who are playing the game.” Shapp called it “just shuffling some old hands into new places' and said: “The resignations morg or less prove there have beeg very high officials in the Nixot administration involved in tig planning of this operation and also in the cover-up.” Ponderosa Specials • Friday Evening Fish Fry — $2.00 • Sunday Noon Lunch $2.00 • Special Weekend Rates for Parents & Students Call 846-5794 Ponderosa Motor Inn PRICE?
