(AP Wirephoto) A&M’s Data Processing Center, considered one of the finest uni versity computer facilities in the Southwest, is expanding its serv ices to include two additional on- campus remote computing centers and off-campus terminals to serve governmental agencies and edu cational institutions. DPC Director Robert Bower Jr. reports the Texas Water Quality Board in Austin and Bryan High School are now on-line to A&M’s IBM 360/65 computer. Four teletype terminals will link the DPC to the San Antonio River Authority about mid-De cember and Tarleton State College will have an on-line high-speed terminal in late January. Several other colleges and universities also will be added in 1972. Bower said other state agencies, including one of the largest, are interested in going on-line to A&M’s DPC. Campus remote computing cen ters include the recently installed Teague Computing Center (TCC) in the Olin E. Teague Research Dugas! says to disregard Moody report AUSTIN (A*)—A lawyer whose committee probed the multi-mil lion dollar Moody Eoundation said Wednesday a follow-up in vestigation by the state was di rected by a man who < had busi ness connections with the foun dation. Louis Dugas Jr., Orange Coun ty district attorney, urged Atty. Gen. Crawford Martin; to disre gard the pending report prepared by special Asst. Atty Gen. Wil- mer Hunt. A spokesman for Martin said the report probably would be re leased Monday. Dugas said Hunt, a Houston district judge from 1947 to 1970, is a director of Gibraltar Savings of Houston, which owes $1.3 mil lion to First City National Bank, also of Houston. While a judge, Dugas said, Hunt also borrowed $63,000 from Gibraltar. Dugas said S. Marchs Greer of Houston, a trustee of the Moody Foundation, formerly was president of the bank arid now is a director. “What is more startling,” Du gas said, is that Imperial Corp., which owns Gibraltar, of which Hunt is a director, had “two di- Witsell named manager of Health Centei* Gilbert P.

Dugas said Hunt received a $15,000 grant frdm the founda tion “smack in the middle of his probe” to study conditions in an area of Houston where Riverside General Hospital is located. Hunt was president of the hospital trustees, Dugas said. A spokesman for the Moody Foundation said, however, the grant was made Feb. 8, which was 20 days before Hunt was ap pointed to evaluate charges against the majority trustees of the foundation. Martin said Dugas “is simply being used as part of an effort to discredit Judge Hunt’s report before it has even been issued. His (Dugas’) hands are not clean on this matter and he knows it. “Judge Hunt had no conflicts of interest in accepting this as signment and Dugas’ tortured attempts to show otherwise are absurd. Typical of this is the fact that the $63,000 loan from Gibraltar Savings . . . was a home mortgage made years ago. Judge Hunt has since sold the house and paid off the mortgage. “Judge Hunt had no personal connection with any of the other purported transactions to which Dugas refers, including Gibral tar’s financial dealings with First City National Bank or any other bank. “Dugas is engaged in character assassination of the worst type.” Dugas’ special committee to study charitable foundations re ported to the legislature Jan. 11. All members of the five-man committee except Walter Zivley of Houston signed the report, but only Dugas called for the four top trustees of the foundation to resign. Dugas named Greer, Paul Haas, J. M. Lykes and W. L. Moody IV. He said while the four trustees and three other men were on the American National executive committee, the company spent $60 million funding gambling ca sinos in Nevada and the Baham as and in loans to persons asso ciated with gambling activities. Dugas said his committee gave special attention to the Moody Foundation because it is the larg est in the state and 14th largest in the nation with assets of $400 million. Haas said the assets totaled $200 million. The same day Martin said Haas, chairman of the Moody board, and four other trustees had asked his office to look into Dugas’ charges, and Martin said he would.
