Staff Writer
Two longtime business estab
lishments of Bryan-College Station,
A. M. Waldrop and Beverley Braley
clothing stores, are going out of bus
iness.
A. M. Waldrop and Company, in
business here since before the turn
of the century, will close its store in
downtown Bryan as well as the one
on University Drive at Northgate.
Here for 29 years, Beverley Braley
will be closed out in January or be
fore.
"We want to concentrate all of our
efforts on the Tours-Travel business
and I would like to go into retire
ment so^p, Ralph S. Braley, hus
band of Beverley Braley said.
A. M. Wiildrop company owner,
67 year-old Allister Waldropsaid, *T
want to retire to do a little sailing,
play tennis, go camping and ride
bicycles with my wife. ”
A. M. Waldrop was founded in
1896 and the first store was on Main
Street in Bryan close to the present
locations. The store was founded
under a partnership and was called
Parks and Waldrop. In 1910 the
store became A. M. Waldrop and
Co. when Parks decided to go into
the furniture business.
After A. M. Waldrop Sr. died in
1936, his son, Allister Jr. took over
the operations of the College Sta
tion store founded in 1927 and the
downtown store where it is pres
ently located.
“There weren t many stores there
then and we were one of the first,
Waldrop said. "The business has
been good ever since we had
opened and now that my son is get
ting out of law school in May, I will
retire,” Waldrop said.
The store on University Drive
will be sold to the University Book
store. They will probably knock out
the wall and expand the operation.
Waldrop said. The last day of the
close out sale at the downtown store
was last week.
“I am delighted to go into retire
ment but will miss all of the loyal
patrons,” Waldrop said.

Examiner
says note
concealed
DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas
County associate medical examiner
charged Tuesday that a suicide note
written by a Southwestern Bell
Telephone Co. executive was con
cealed from authorities.
The suicide note came to light
Monday in San Antonio. It attacked
high Southwestern Bell employes
and told how they sought to influ
ence politicians.
It was written by T. O. Gravitt,
51, head of all the Bell operations in
Texas. He took his life by carbon
monoxide poisoning more than a
month ago. The note also com
plained bitterly of the line of ques
tioning by Bell investigators who in
terrogated him.
Dr. Vincent DiMaio, the as
sociate medical examiner who per
formed the autopsy on Gravitt, said
the suicide note has been turned
over to the Dallas County Medical
Examiner’s Office.
The San Antonio Express said
that the Bell officials first tried to
prevent the family from having the
note, but turned it over to Gravitt s
son at his insistence.
DiMaio said officials also re
quested samples of Gravitt’s hand
writing to compare it with that of the
note.
Meanwhile, Sen. Ron Glower,
D-Garland, said he had dispatched
the staff of his Texas Senate Con
sumer Affairs subcommittee to San
Antonio hunting witnesses for a new
round of hearings.

HOUSTON (AP) — An indepen
dent oil operator said Tuesday it ap
parently is good politics, and bad
statesmanship, to oppose reasona
ble pricing of natural gas.
George P. Mitchell, president of
the Texas Independent Producers
& Royalty Owners Association, said
the logic of maintaining wellhead
price controls is inane.
Mitchell made his remarks in a
statement prepared as a response to
recent remarks by Rep. John E.
Moss, D-Calif., and an economic-
impact report prepared for Moss by
the Library of Congress.
The report said in part there is
little evidence increased prices
woidd boost natural gas production
as advocates of deregulation con
tend. It also contended consumers
could pay up to $75.6 million extra
for natural gas through 1980 if price
controls were removed.
“Even though the price of natural
gas will rise, we believe the incre
mental supplies of natural gas will
he less costly to consumers than the
cost of alternate supplies of other
fuels which will he required to offset
the effects of deepening gas shor
tage, Mitchell said. One of the obvi
ous intentions of the $75.6 million
estimate is to frighten consumers,
Mitchell said.
"But an often unrecognized and
unstated fact is that the wellhead
price of gas is only a fraction, often
in the range of a sixth to an eighth, of
the burner tip price paid by con
sumers in many major cities,
Mitchell said.
“Therefore, substantial increases
in the wellhead price would be re
flected in relatively small percent
tage increases for the consumer. In
many circumstances, a consumer’s
cost would rise less than a third even
if the wellhead price were tripled.
Such would be the case, he said,
because transportation and dis
tribution, not the gas itself, com
prise the major costs.
“Rep. Moss and his Library of
Congress failed to give this perspec
tive on consumer costs, Mitchell
said.
Mitchell said the report recog
nized that natural gas is under-
priced in interstate commerce when
cbmpared with other fuels on the
basis of energy equivalent.
