<IY AUTOBIOGRAPHY
In High school I majored in ag-
culture (I was a Lone Star Farmer)
|he state’s highest award), also
athematics, and science. How-
iver, in the university, I realized
Jiat modern farming was not com-
(letewith out engineering, so in the
Iniversity that I attended, before I
lent into the military service 1943 -
|945, I took electrical engineering
about 3 years 1940 - 1943. My
Ige at that time was 18 to 20.
After being in the service, I was
lischarged October 1945, I became
literested in the operation of a large
ompany, which I worked for 1945 -
|964. This gave me actual experi-
|nee working with large companies
swell as labor. A very valuable ex
perience in government concerning
his section of the economy.
However, at this time, 1964, 1
lealized that the whole economy
lad to be coordinated together, so I
istablished my own business of
Economics, Financial Manage-
nent, which does include all the
Engineerings including energy en-
eineering, money management for
pig and small companies, for indi-
|iduals, and all other phases of the
onomy. It is my opinion that the
Jvorld of economics consist of more
lhan supply and demand, but the
use of money for instrumentation of
roordination of big companies,
pall companies, individuals, and
dl others in the nation.
I was the Republican nominee for
IlheU. S. Representative in the 1972
flection of the 6th Congressional
listrict, which I received about
8,000 votes, or about 27% of the
Ivotes of the 6th Congressional Dis-
Itrict. I believe that I can pick up the
lother 23% of the votes to win in
11974.

ILIAZZO, OCT. 11, 1974
Sixty miles to the west, Harris
County Sherifl s office reported a
tornado struck the Baytown Tunnel
which links Baytown and LaPorte.
The tornado, which moved across
Galveston Bay and touched down at
the south end of the tunnel, killed
one person and injured at least
three others.
T welve cars were picked up and
thrown against one another and
against the wall entrance to the tun
nel,” a Department of Public Safety
spokesman said.
The spokesman said four homes
in Baytown received major damage
and another minor damage.
He said guard shacks at both ends
of the tunnel were damaged and a
state highway tank trailer, 400 yards
south of the tunnel, was over
turned.
The DPS identified the person
killed as Theo Hines, 60, of Hous
ton.
The injured were identified as
Robert R. Thompson, 45, of Jacinto
City, in fair condition; Russell C.
Carter, 54, of Pasadena, serious
condition; and Debra Allen, 23, of
Baytown, in serious condition.
The twister struck at 4:40 p. m.
just as the rush hour homeward
bound traffic was getting under
way.
The DPS spokesman said one car
was thrown against the wall of the
tunnel and landed upside down,
blocking the entrance.
Ernie Wehba, 32, of Pasadena,
said the car in front of his truck “was
thrown sideways.”
“Then my truck hit the side of the
tunnel, turned over on the roof and
wound up on the left side,” he said.
“All I could see was everything turn
ing and spinning.”
David White, 18, of Texas City,
another motorist said he saw “the
funnel coming across the water.
“It rolled over a truck and it in
jured the two men inside slightly,”
he said. “It was a thick funnel cloud.
It stayed on the grounds about 15
minutes. It passed within 50 yards
of us. You could see it following
powerlines, snapping them one by
one until it hit a service station and
several houses beyond. ”
Deputy Sheriff T.C. Jones said
the car the dead man was found in
was sucked up out of the tunnel’s
south end. He said he was not sure
whether the car was going in or com
ing out. He said it was thrown up on
a levee above the tunnel entrance
way.
At one point seven tornadoes
were spotted in the Beaumont area,
but it was impossible to determine if
sightings were duplicated.
One funnel cloud touched down
in North Beaumont about 2 p.m.,
damaging houses, trees, and knock
ing down power lines.
Another struck a residential area
about two miles north of downtown
Beaumont. >
A twister struck Lumberton, just
north of Beaumont, about 2:30
p.m., destroying three mobile
homes and scattering pieces of one
up to five miles away. There were
no injuries reported.
At Rollover Pass in Gilchirist, on
the Upper Bolivar Peninsula
southwest of Beaumont, a tornado
reportedly scattered three mobile
homes, three bait camps and caused
roof and window damage to beach
cabins. This occurred just before
About 6:30 p.m. three funnel
clouds were sighted at the Nueces
River Crossing of Interstate 10 in
Beaumont.
In North Texas the Gainesville
area was struck by a tornado before
daybreak. It badly damaged two
airplanes at the municipal airport.
Nearby houses, businesses and
mobile homes were damaged.
The severe weather broke out
first in the Panhandle with small
hail, and the turbulence quickly
spread south and east.
In early afternoon, the Civil De
fense director for Hamshire, south
west of Beaumont, said he was
blown off the road by a storm.
Beaumont police then began re
porting funnel cloud sightings. One
was spotted at Silsbee.
The thunderstorms also dumped
several inches of rain in their paths,
causing local flooding.
The heaviest fains Monday were
at Texarkana and Galveston, which
in just six hours got 1.87 and 1.30
inches, respectively. At Atlanta,
Tex., 2.7 inches was unofficially re
ported in six hours.
Meanwhile, a cool front was
ushering dryer air into the state
from the west. The front extended
across Central Texas near a Wichita
Falls-Austin line, and fair skies were
reported to the west of that line.
Before the front brought clear
skies, heavy rains caused some
street flooding in the vicinity of
Midland, Abilene and San Angelo.
Afternoon temperatures ranged
from the low 60s in the Panhandle to
the mid 80s in South Texas.
Clearing skies accompany dryer
air across North Central Texas. No
important changes in temperature
were expected.
Urban conservation urged
at Texas Municipal parley
FORT WORTH (AP) — Mayor
Tom Bradley of Los Angeles said
Monday that if cities are to survive
and prosper they must adopt a pol
icy of “urban conservation. ”
Bradley, speaking at the 62nd an
nual conference of the Texas Munic
ipal League here, said cities must
work to revitalize areas of blight be
cause “we can no longer afford to
throw away our cities. ”
He said urban areas are suffering
from serious problems that, when
combined, “threaten to strangle the
very life of urban centers. ”
Cities, Bradley said, can no
longer turn their backs on problems
and must abandon the tendency to
“pick up and move out rather than
to revitalize.
"The philosophy of simply build
ing bigger has to be replaced with
one of building better, ” he said.
Adding to the problems of the
cities, Bradley said, is the lack of
confidence citizens have in public
officials.
He said Watergate had revealed
^Rocm
the “ugliest period” of scandal in the
country’s history, but also demon
strated the “strength and vitality” of
government.
Watergate has resulted in a
stronger Congress more willing to
assert itself, he said, but cities
“must not just react or wait for con
gressional action—we are going to
have to be initiators.”
Bradley said federal revenue
sharing gives cities the opportunity
to set their own priorities and de
monstrate a capability of dealing
with their own problems.
The mayor, saying cities “desper
ately need’’ revenue sharing,
warned the federal program took
years for Congress to pass and “we
could lose it next year without an
effort.”
Bradley urged city officials to “get
the word to your congressmen” that
revenue sharing should be renewed
in 1975, adding that in 1972 only
two members of the Texas congres
sional delegation voted for its origi
nal passage.
The mayor also said the Com
munity Development Act rep
resented a challenge to local officials
in that it allows local initiation of
programs “without bureaurcratic
red tape.”
The mayor also said the Com
munity Development Act repres
ents a challenge to local officials in
that it allows local initiation of prog
rams “without bureaucratic red
tape.”
He said the act also gives cities
the obligation to involve citizens in
the spending of the federal funds.
Speaking at a news conference
after his address, Bradley said fed
eral aid programs to cities is proper
because “those are our dollars we
sent to Washington. ”
He said cities “ought to get our
fair share back, adding that few
cities are now financially capable of
providing all the services they
should provide without federal
help.

AUSTIN, Tex. (AP) — Leonard
Kreuz Jr., 45, a University of Texas
groundskeeper, fell to his death

ration building of UT-Austin.
Justice of Peace Charles Webb

RENE CLEMENT'S ANTI-WAR MASTERPIECE
s
FORBIDDEN GAMES is perhaps the greatest anti-war film since LA GRANDE
ILLUSION, yet it does not deal with actual warfare. Two young French children
become playmates during the German occupation in 1940 and they imitate
the cruel adult life that surrounds them by collecting dead animals for their
private cemetery. Winner of the Venice Grand Prize, few films have matched
FORBIDDEN GAMES' poignant outcry against the waste of war.

"Masterful photography creates scene
after scene of great pictorial poignancy.
And the two stars play their roles with
such heartbreaking sincerity that the
film is raised to the stature of a noble
outcry against the wanton waste
of war." x
