Riots Not City Hall’s Fault,
Welch Tells Investigators
By WALTER R. MEARS
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) — May

that blaming city hall for the
troubles that ignite racial rioting
is a misconception that can add
to Negro frustrations and help
produce riots.

PE Majors Gain Experience
Through Practice Teaching
Senior physical education ma
jors are practice teaching in Bry
an and College Station schools
this fall in preparation for teach
ing careers.
The future teachers spend
three hours practice teaching each
day during the semester, in
structing PE classes under super
vision of cooperating teachers.
“Student teaching allows our
graduating seniors to put into
practice techniques and methods
learned in health and physical
education courses. It also pro
vides opportunity for them to
observe an experienced teacher
and to organize and direct groups
of school children,” noted Dr.
Carl W. Landiss, Health and
Physical Education Departmen
head.
Practice teaching schedules in
a six-hour course sends student
teachers into secondary and ele
mentary schools each day. The
students attend regular campus
classes on a half-day basis.
Cooperating schools and teach
ers are S. F. Austin High, Peck
Vass; A&M Consolidated High,
Jack Churchill; Lamar Junior

United Chest
Lengthens ’67
FundCampaign
College Station’s United Chest
campaign, which officially ended
Tuesday with approximately 80
per cent of its $22,500 goal at
tained, has been extended through
Nov. 11.
Col. Walter Parsons Jr., presi
dent of the United Chest Board of
Directors, announced the exten
sion Wednesday afternoon follow
ing a called session of the board.
“We are extending the cam
paign in hopes that we can still
raise the funds for the 13 chari
table and civic agencies which
are depending on us,” Col. Par
sons stated.
He said the United Chest direc
tors are particularly anxious for
persons in charge of solicitations
to insure that everyone has had
an opportunity to contribute.
Col. Parsons noted that only 33
per cent of the potential con
tributors have made donations.
“This means,” he pointed out,
“that one-third of the potential
donors gave approximately $18,-
000, or 80 per cent of the funds
we hoped to raise.”
The United Chest would easily
surpass its goal, Parsons added,
if even half of the persons who
have not yet contributed would
do so.
He emphasized that the United
Chest is not asking for more funds
from the persons who have al
ready contributed.
“We are appealing,” he con
cluded, “to that other two-thirds
who have not yet given.”
blems confronting a city “only
leads to rising expectations that
connot be met.” This he added,
can itself produce destructive
outbreaks.
“WITH THE federal govern
ment setting so many policies and
actually sponsoring commercials
on television aimed at helping mi
nority groups, severe misconcep
tions can be passed on to these
groups as to who is responsigle
for what at the local level,” he
said.
“People become easily frustra
ted when they feel that are being
given the runaround.” Welch tes
tified as the Senate permanent
investigations sub-committee op
ened its inquiry into recent vio
lence that flared through some
American cities.
THE PANEL’S first step was
tabulating on a giant chart the
results of 101 disorders in 76 cit
ies:
—Twelve lawmen and 118 ci
vilians killed in the past three
years.
—2,424 civilian and 1,199 po
lice injuries.
—Property damage estimated
at $210.6 milliom, economic loss
es at $504.2 million.
—A total of 29,932 people ar
rested, 5,434 convicted.
Those figures led Sen. John L.
McClellan, D-Ark., to question
whether rioters are being freed
with little or no punishment.
THE SUBCOMMITTEE report
listed property damage in last
summer’s Detroit riot at $144
million; that in the Newark, N. J.,
rioting at $10.2 million.
Listed among the disorders
were five civil rights demonstra
tions, including the 1965 voting
rights campaign at Selma, Ala.
Welch said Houston, leadoff
city in the inquiry, did not really
suffer a community riot. It’s
troubles last May 16 and 17 flared
on the campus of Texas Southern
University where one policeman
was killed and six persons were
wounded in gun battles.

Scientists Set
10-Day Cruise
By Alaminos
Primary productivity and
coastal circulation in the Western
Gulf of Mexico will be investi
gated by Texas A&M oceanogra
phers on a 10-day cruise of the
Alaminos starting Saturday.
The A&M research ship will
make port at Campeche, Mexico,
where scientists will consult with
Marine Biological Station offi
cials.
Chief scientists for the cruise
are Dr. Edward R. Ibert and Dr.
Sayed Z. El-Sayed.
Ibert will direct circulation re
search shoreward of the 100
fathoms line. He said assorted
samples of water and sediment
will be taken. Aiding the assist
ant professor will be Miss Lela
Jeffrey and Alan D. Fredericks,
research scientists.
El-Sayed said the cruise is also
for continuation of research on
seasonal productivity variation in
the Western Gulf. A biological
technician, Robert Soulages, and
research assistant Aquiles de
Romedi will aid El-Sayed.
Graduate students to partici
pate in the work are Connie
Karpinski of Grand Rapids,

Weddell Sea off Antarctica.
Ford Calls For Budget Cuts
HOUSTON <A?)—House Minor
ity Leader Gerald R. Ford said
Wednesday the federal budget
must be cut by at least $5 billion
before President Johnson’s pro
posed 10 per cent surtax can even
be considered.
Ford, a Michigan Republican,
addressed the 69th annual con
vention of the National Associa
tion of Retail Druggists.
However, economist Walter W.
Heller, who also addressed the
some 6,000 druggists, disagreed.
Heller, now with the depart
ment of ecqnomics at the Univer
sity of Minnesota and former
chief economic advisor to the late
President John F. Kennedy, said
it is inconceivable that Congress
would let the surtax proposal
die.
HELLER SAID the surtax is
needed to curb inflation, to keep
interest rates “somewhere with
in reason,” to keep the U. S. in
ternational balance of payments
within bounds and to provide a
vehicle for rapid post-Vietnam
war adjustment.
He said once the Vietnam war
is over “a responsible Congress
would immediately remove the
surtax” and thus provide a quick
stimulant to the economy.
“Control of the purse is the
fundamental prerogative of the
Congress,” Heller said. “To give

it away would be the height of
irresponsibility.”
FORD disagreed with Heller
saying that while Congress ap
proves appropriations as “lines
of credit” to various departments,
it is up to the President to say
whether or not those departments
will have the authority to spend
the money.
Ford said federal spending
“has run wild.”
While the population grew 10
per cent in 1960, the “civilian
bureaucracy of the government
grew 10 per cent, the cost of
federal civilian payrolls rose 57
per cent and total federal spend
ing went up 80 per cent,” Ford
said.
“IS THIS because of the Viet
nam war?” Ford asked. “While
defense spending rose by 68 per
cent during the sixties, nonde
fense spending went up 97 per
cent — from $48.6 billion in fis
cal 1960 to an estimated $95.6 bil
lion for fiscal 1968. For example,
health and welfare spending as a
category jumped 210 per cent.”
Heller said the sixties have not
only been the longest without an
economic slide “but also the
strongest.”
He said the preceding seven
years the United States under
went three recessions.
Unless the surtax is passed,
Heller said, a growing economy
over the next two quarters will
bring a 5 to 6 per cent rise in
inflation instead of the current 3
per cent.
GALLIANO, La. (A*) — “I was
scared plenty of times but I was
just hoping and trusting in the
Lord,” said Ernest Peoples Wed
nesday after two days of riding
the Gulf of Mexico on a wooden
hatch cover.
A Coast Guard helicopter res
cued him from the choppy sea
at about 11 a.m.
Peoples was aboard the shrimp
boat Betty J, which went down
in high seas Monday about 45
miles off the Louisiana coast.
He said the two other men aboard
drowned after a day and a half
of clinging to a makeshift raft.
Two Coast Guard helicopters
and two airplanes circled over
the choppy Gulf until nightfall
searching for their bodies.
Peoples, 49-year-old father of
nine children, lives in Grand Bay,
Ala. He told a tale of destruction
and death from his bed at Lady
of the Sea General Hospital in
Galliano, a Louisiana coastal vil
lage.
In a low, cracked voice, Peo
ples described how the mast of
the Betty J was toppled by high
winds, smashing a hole in the
boat.
“We couldn’t kep the water
out,” he said. “We kept trying
but when we saw it was no use,
we nailed four hatch covers to
gether. When the water started
coming over the wheelhouse we
let go and grabbed the raft.”
Also on board the Betty J,
which operates out of Pascagoula,
Miss., were Sherman Gideon,
about 25, the skipper, from Grand
Bay, and John Yates, about 45.
Yates was the first to die, said
Peoples. Yates “from somewhere
in Texas . . . had a nervous break
down or something. He just went
out of his head and died.
“The skipper and me tried to
keep him on the raft but the
waves kept knocking us in the
water.
“Finally Captain Sherman just
let go. He said he couldn’t hold
on any longer.
“He said, ‘Well, I’m drowning,’
and I couldn’t get him.”
Gideon slipped from the raft
Tuesday night.

DPC To Get New Computer
The not-so-old makes way for
the new this month at Texas
A&M’s Data Processing Center.
DPC acting head Robert Bower
Jr. announced the center’s IBM
7094 computer will be transferred
to the university’s Cyclotron In
stitute Nov. 22 in preparation for
the December delivery of a more
powerful third-generation IBM
360/65.
The new computer will be in
stalled Dec. 1-15 and go into
operation Jan. 5, following a
three-week period for shakedown
and familiarization.
The DPC, however, will only be
Out of business over the Thanks
giving holidays, Bower explained.
He said the 7094 will be back
in full service at the cyclotron
facilities Nov. 27 and continue to
handle the bulk of the DPC work
during the 360/65 installation.
The 7094, top of the line of
IBM’s second-generation comput
ers, will later be used to monitor
operations of the new A&M “atom
smasher.”
University officials said A&M’s
new 360/65 will be as sophisti
cated as any in the Southwest. It
will be one of the finest on any
campus in the nation, they claim.
Five times as powerful as the
university’s current equipment,
the new computer will incorporate
remote capabilities enabling pro
fessors to operate it from class
rooms and receive information
on TV-type screens.
Computer users will continue
to turn in their work at the DPC
during the transition, Bower em
phasized.
