SPACE CENTER, Houston —
An ailing’ gyroscope aboard the
Skylab space station experienced
its worst spell of distress yet and
officials worried that the instru
ment might be on its way to total
breakdown.
Should the instrument fail,
Skylab 3 astronauts Gerald P.
Carr, William R. Pogue and Ed
ward G. Gibson might still be able
to complete the 16 days left in
their record 84-day mission of
ficials said, but their scientific
work would be significantly cur
tailed.

NEW YORK — Shoppers sort
ing through the supermarket meat
counter on Tuesday didn’t need
a set of government statistics to
know that the pocketbood pinch
is getting worse.
While the government was re
porting that 1973’s inflation rec
ord was the worst in 27 years,
consumers were finding that re
cent increases in wholesale beef
prices have filtered down to the
retail level.
“We held firm for many weeks
but we had to increase some re
tails last week,” said Ray Kings
bury, meat merchandiser for
Kohls, the largest grocery chain
in Wisconsin. Another Kohls
spokesman said most beef items
went up about 10 cents a pound.
PITTSBURGH, Pa. — Gulf
Oil Corp. said that its leisure ac

ling Bros. Bamum & Bailey Com

The subsidiary, Venture Out in
America, Inc., signed the tenta
tive agreement with the circus’
current owner, Mattel, Inc. a toy
manufacturer.
NEW YORK — A $240,000 col
lection of Civil War art, hidden
for 60 years in a New Orleans
attic, went on exhibition here.
The American Heritage Soc
iety, which owns the collection,
called it “the most important dis
covery of its kind in this cen
tury.” It consists of 754 pen-and-
ink drawings, pencil sketches,
water colors and wash drawings
by 56 artists. None has ever been
publicly displayed before.

ALGIERS — Egypt’s President

they still insisted on an embargo

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia —
Government troops backed by ar
mored personnel carriers and air
strikes routed insurgents north
west of the capital in an action
which Western observers said had
blunted the Communist-led rebel
offensive against the city.
Most of the 2,000 Khmer Rouge
insurgents had withdrawn to the
west of the city and were in flight
toward Tuol Leap, 11 miles to the
northwest.
LONDON (AP) — The miners’
union threatened a national strike
after the British government re
fused to lift its wage controls to
permit a larger wage increase
than is allowed to other workers.
A strike by the miners whose
refusal to work overtime has al
ready created an energy short
age, could halt most of British
industry by spring.
New director
of boys home
predicts calm
AUSTIN (AP) - The new director
of the state’s institutions for juveniles
predicts there will be no security
problem at the Mountain View home
in six to nine months.
Ron Jackson, 33, was appointed to
the post Tuesday by the Texas Youth
Council.
He told a news conference a new
program of group therapy—“everything
they do will be done as a group”—will
make it possible to tear down the high
double fence around Mountain View,
the maximum security facility for boys
near Gatesville.
Jackson has been acting director
ce the resignation of Dr. James
since the resignation
Turman following disturbances at
Gatesville last fall.
“I want to take this opportunity to
recognize the fine work of my prede
cessor,” Jackson said.
Asked if this compliment might
lead some people to think the attitude
of the administration has not changed
from that which some think led to the
trouble at Gatesville, Jackson said:
“When Dr. Turman took over in 1947,
we had a pretty sorry agency.”
“I credit him with a lot of things
I’ve learned,” he said.
Jackson and the TYC chairman
Forrest Sith, also spoke of many new
programs that they hope will improve
the state’s method of handling juvenile
delinquents, including regional centers.
Jackson said Mountain View, which
has 54 inmates, “is in turmoil.” And
Smith said there were “20 or 30 or 40”
runaways from Gatesville last month.
Jackson was head of the Brown-
wood State School for girls before
taking over for Turman. He has a
bachelor’s degree in government and a
master’s in social work, both from the
University of Texas at Austin. He has
been with TYC since 1965.
Cutoff for degree
applications set
Students graduating this spring
must make formal degree appli
cation by Feb. 15.
They must first pay a six dol
lar fee in the Richard Coke Build
ing at the Fiscal Office. The stu
dents then receive an application
and a receipt to be turned into the
Office of the Graduate College.
Graduation announcements can
be ordered before February 22
at the cashier’s window in the
Memorial Student Center. The
window in Room 217 is open Mon
day through Friday from 8 a. m.
to 4 p. m.
AUSTIN <A>) _ Rep. Joe Sa
lem, a fast-talking, cigar-chew
ing package of nervous energy,
stormed the Texas Cosmetology
Commission offices Tuesday and
found a burglar’s paradise.
Between $30,000 and $80,000 in
checks, some of them blank, are
stored in shoe boxes and grocery
cartons day and night, a commis
sion executive admitted.
A state auditor is examining
the agency’s books because of the
discovery that at least $1,000 is
missing, officials said.
Larry Perkins, director of li
censing, was asked what security
there was for the boxes stuffed
with checks and lined up on his
office floor.
“A locked door,” he replied.
“What if you have a fire?” Sa
lem asked.
“They’ll all go up in smoke,”
Perkins said.
The checks are license fees
mailed in by manicurists, beauty
shop and school operators, wig
fitters and beauticians.
Perkins said most of the checks
are being processed for return be
cause they were in the wrong
amount or the individuals lacked
necessary health certificates.
State Auditor George McNiel
promised Salem a full audit. He
said other licensing agencies put
the checks they receive in the
bank, and refunds can be made
by state treasury warrants.
“They have been told better,
they know better and they ap
parently are unwilling to do bet
ter,” McNiel said of the commis
sion.
A routine audit in early 1972
showed the problem existed then,
and McNiel showed Salem and a
reporter detailed recommenda
tions made to the commission for
safeguarding its money.
