The only one of the five per sons present he did not attack when he and other Manson fol lowers invaded the Tate man sion Aug. 9, 1969, he said, was the beautiful actress herself. Su san Atkins has admitted fatally stabbing the pregnant Miss Tate. The tall 25-year-old Texan was the first Manson follower to say that the hippie style clan leader gave orders to kill. Manson, Miss Atkins and two other women members of Man- son’s clan have been convicted and sentenced to death for mur dering Miss Tate and four visitors at her home. Watson fought ex tradition from Texas until the trial of the others had begun, and is being tried alone. Watson’s confession was ex pected. His attorneys have con ceded earlier that he killed, but said he wasn’t responsible for his actions, that drugs and Manson controlled him. Watson has plead ed innocent by reason of insanity. Watson did not testify concern ing the murders a night later of Mr. and Mrs. Leno LaBianca, for which Manson and the three wom en also were convicted. He is charged with the LaBianca slay ings, too. Til is cited for safety work THE Thursday, September 2, 1971 BATTALION College Station, Texas Page 3 Lack of uniform taxation makes education imbalance The Texas Transportation In stitute (TTI) at A&M has been cited again for its role in devel oping highway safety devices credited with saving lives throughout the nation. Latest praise for TTI’s life saving research efforts is a reso lution adopted by the A&M Sys tem Board of Directors. The resolution notes the insti tute pioneered the concept of de veloping the breakaway highway, breakaway light pole and an ef fective crash cushion to protect motoroists striking fixed objects along the roadside. The projects were developed by TTI in coop eration with the Texas Highway Department and the Federal Highway Administration. “The successful efforts of mem bers of the institute staff in de veloping devices that provide a safer roadside environment,” notes the document, “have been recognized by the National Safe ty Couuncil, the Automotive Safe ty Foundation, the Allstate Safe ty Crusade and the Engineering News Record, through commen dations and awards of merit for research in accident prevention.” TTI was established in 1955 as part of A&M and has had a con tinuous cooperative research pro gram with the Texas Highway Department. LOS ANGELES (A>)_The con trasting faces of Beverly Hills and Baldwin Park illustrate what the California Supreme Court had in mind when it ruled that local property taxes provide unequal education. Beverly Hills, on the cool west side of Los Angeles, has streets lined with banks, Cadillacs and $100,000 houses. Baldwin Park, on the hot east side of Los Angeles, has streets lined with children, tricycles and $20,000 houses. The court ruled 6-1 Monday that the system is unconstitution al because local property tax funding results in better educa tion for wealthy areas than poor districts. The court cited rich Beverly Hills and poor Baldwin Park—just 40 miles apart—to il lustrate the contrast. “We are glad to see what has happened because there is now the chance of getting better quality of education,” said How ard Butterfield, Baldwin Park’s assistant superintendent of schools. There is no getting around the differences between the two dis tricts. Baldwin Park’s $9 million annual budget covers 13,060 pu- ipils and 474 teachers. Beverly Hills $10 million annual budget covers less than half that num ber of pupils—about 5,700—but pays for about 350 teachers. Both districts teach classes from kin dergarten through high school. Beverly Hills High School lies majestically on terraced, mani cured lawns looking like a 1920 resort luxury hotel. Meany seeks to bargain with Nixon’s wage freeze WASHINGTON (A 5 ) _ AFL- CIO President George Meany, bitter critic of President Nixon’s wage-price freeze, said for the first time Wednesday he will bar gain with the White House on labor’s cooperation in Nixon’s plans for after the freeze. “We must seek to do business with the executive branch,” Meany said. “To telegraph our positions in detail now would not be good ne gotiating strategy,” Meany said in declining an invitation to tes tify before Congress on grounds that it might tip labor’s hand to BATTALION CLASSIFIED WANT AD RATES One day 54 pet ■word 44 per -word each additional day linimum charge—754 Classified Display 1.00 per column inch ch insertion SPECIAL NOTICE $1.00 eacL FOR SALE Excel lent condition.

Informed speculation contin ued, meanwhile, that Nixon ad ministration thinking was mov ing toward creation of a labor- management-public stabilization board to limit wage price hikes after the freeze ends Nov. 13. Labor cooperation in such a plan is deemed essential by White House strategists. Meany, who has denounced the wage-price freeze, calling it un fair to workers and favoring big business, said in a letter to Sen. William Proxmire, D-Wis., chair man of the congressional Joint Economic Committee, that he be lieves Americans would go along with economic controls if they are fairly applied. He has sharply assailed Nixon for not freezing profits, dividends and interest rates along with wages, prices and rents. The 77-year-old chief of the 13.6 million member labor fed eration repeated the AFL-CIO’s request that Congress take con trol of the economy away from Nixon. “We would of course be de lighted to testify before the com mittees considering such legisla- . tion,” Meany said, but added that short of that, he did not want to testify at this time for fear of tipping off the White House on what labor would accept in the post-freeze period. Earlier, a high AFL-CIO offi cial described Meany as still an gry at Nixon’s wage-price freeze.

V.C. hit 5 bases SAIGON td?)—North Vietnam ese gunners opened up with a furious rocket and mortar bar rage Wednesday against a South Vietnamese armored column and five bases along the demilitariz ed zone. It was the heaviest shelling since mid-August on the inflamed northern front. Countering the shelling, U.S. forces bombarded North Viet namese positions from the land, sea and air. The South Vietnamese report ed ^>nly light casualties but brac ed for more attacks. Officers said enemy forces may repeat the bombardments Thui’S- day and Friday to mark two North Vietnamese anniversaries. The first on Thursday is National Day and the other on Friday is the second anniversary of the death of President Ho Chi Minh. The North Vietnamese gunners struck within a three-hour span from mid-morning till midday. The largest of the six attacks was a 500-round rocket and mor tar bombardment of a South Viet namese unit of tanks and armored car personnel carriers. The shellings against the bases were 20 rounds or less each. Field reports said no South Vietnam ese were killed but six were wounded. A dozen B52 bombers, in the 11th straight day of saturation raids, hammered North Vietnam ese emplacements just south of the DMZ and in the southern half of the once-neutral buffer zone. Three U.S. warships shelled the North Vietnamese from offshore and American artillery joined the bombardment from positions south of the zone. In the 24 hours before the North Vietnamese opened up, battle action had fallen off sharp ly. The South Vietnamese com mand reported only 11 enemy-in itiated attacks in this period, far below the widespread attacks over last weekend before and during South Vietnam’s National As sembly elections. The U.S. command announced the start of a troop reduction of 42,000 men that will cut Ameri can strength in Vietnam to 177,- 000 men by Dec. 1. Name one thing that hasn't gone up since 1950. t Try.
