DENVER <^P) — Colorado vot
ers snuffed the Olympic flame
out in their state Tuesday for
the 1976 Winter Games.
With 647 of 2,045 precincts re
porting, 159,147 ballots have been
cast to cut state funds for Games
and 107,638 voted to continue
funding.
In Denver, with 403 of 474
precincts reporting, 102,840 per
sons voted to halt state funds
and 68,773 voted to continue
financing.
Growing opposition to the
Games in the last few months
has placed doubt on whether the
Olympic flame will be passed in
the Colorado Rockies.
Most objections to the Games
center on costs and potential
growth of Colorado.
State Rep. Richard Lamm, D-
Denver, an Olympics opponent,
said, “The history of the Olym
pics is a history of cost overruns.
My objections have nothing to do
with the intrinsic merit of the
Games. They have to do with
how expensive they’ve become.”
Lamm added that the Olym
pics, with their attendant world
wide publicity, would encourage
haphazard growth in Colorado.
“The Olympics help attract
people to a given locale,” he said,
adding that Colorado “is hardly
able to handle the growth it’s ex
periencing now.”
Top Colorado officials, includ
ing Gov. John Love, backed the
Games.
Henry Kimbrough, administra
tive assistant to Colorado’s lieu
tenant-governor, said the Olym-

Thomas, whose association
with TAMU dates back to 1964,

He resigned as professor of

Earlier in his career, Thomas

growth or large-scale migration
would be encouraged.
Kimbrough said the Games
would cost $35 million — $5 mil
lion from state government, $10
million from television rights,
licensing, franchising and ticket
sales, and $15.5 million from the
federal government. But the
$15.5 million hinges on Colorado
voters continuing state funds.

Conservatives clinched their
margin of power in the Texas
Senate as Democrats and Repub
licans fought it out Tuesday in
12 contested races.
On the basis of apparent win
ners from unofficial returns, the
1973 Senate will have at least 20
conservative-minded senators, a
reversal from 1971 when Lib
erals held a narrow margin, us
ually 16-15.
The Republican minority in
the Senate apparently will in
crease from two to three mem
bers.
Latest unofficial results of,
Tuesday’s voting included:
Rep. Bob Gammage, Houston
liberal, was successful in his
race against Republican Pat
Elliott of Houston in District 7.
Ron Glower, prominent Dallas
liberal Democrat, trailed Repub
lican Ken Keeth of Garland most
of the night and then pulled
ahead slightly early today.
Conservative Bill Meier of Eu
less defeated Republican Charlie
Ritchie of Fort Worth.
In one of the most spectacular
races of the political seasons,
Betty Andujar, a Republican and
wife of a Fort Worth physician,
defeated Rep. Mike Moncrief,
Fort Worth Democrat conserva
tive.
Democrat Lee McLemore,
Houston, lost to Republican Rep.
Walter H. Mengden of Houston.
Rep. Jack Ogg, Houston Demo
crat, advanced to the Senate,
beating Republican Howard
Moon of Houston.
Rep. William Braecklein, a
Dallas Democrat conservative,
manaed to pull into the lead ear
ly today after trailing Republi
can Jim Wade, a. former senator,
much of the night.
Sen. A. R. Schwartz of Gal
veston, longtime liberal leader in
the Senate, finally edged ahead
of Republican Jim Nelson of
League City.
Sen. William Patman of Ga-
nado another liberal Democrat,
