Arabian sheik requests
to purchase the Alamo
from Texas for his son
thurs
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Sheik
Masoud Al-Sharif Al-Hamdan of
Saudi Arabia wants to buy the
Alamo, shrine of Texas indepen
dence, for bis son.
“My son learned how to fly in San
Antonio. He used to visit the Alamo
and he loved it,” the sheikh is
quoted by the San Antonio News as
writing to a Houston lawyer.
“Please contact the proper people
and see if we can buy it. I want to
present it as a gift to my son.”
The Alamo is owned by the State
of Texas.
“Of course, I intend to write to
Sheikh Masoud to explain to him
the difficulty of fulfilling his re
quest,” the lawyer said.
“I’ll suggest to him to think of
something else, maybe a Texas
ranch, to present to his son.”
A Saudi Arabian officer attending
he Defense Language Institute'
here said be believed the sneiMi
meant well in his request.
“I imagine his son had told him
about the Alamo and what a beauti
ful place it is and the father,
knowing what the Alamo is, thou^j
it might be for sale,” the Arabdct
said.
“You know how mostoftli
foreign officers getting training^
hang around the Alamo in
weekends. The son musthavelalt!
in love with it.”
Four Air Force bases andFui
Sam Houston are located here mi
many foreign officers are assigned
the area for training.

AUSTIN (AP) — Can 76,000 vet
erans be wrong?
Apparently not, the Senate State
Affairs Committee decided Wed
nesday in voting to change
Veteran’s Day from the fourth
Monday in October to Nov. 11.
Nov. 11 was Armistice Day in
honor of the end of World War I but
was later changed to Veteran’s Day
to honor veterans of World War II
and the Korean War.
But Congress voted in 1971 to
switch the holiday to the fourth
DPS to list old drivers
AUSTIN (AP) — The Depart
ment of Public Safety must supply a
New York company with the names
and addresses of all older Texas
drivers for a mailing list, Atty. Gen.
John Hill said Wednesday.
Senior Citizens Unlimited of
Tuckahoe, N.Y., asked the DPS for
names, addresses, dates ofbirth and
license expiration date for all Texas
drivers over the age of 64 whose
licenses have been issued or re
newed since Jan. I, 1973.
The company’s lawyers in
Washington, D.C., told the DPS
that Senior Citizens helps
businessmen market products and
services for “mature adults, ages
64-85. Specifically, the request
stated, the company provides mail
ing lists for such businesses as
health insurance companies, phar
macies and even political candi
dates.
Hill said the 1973 Open Records
Act requires DPS “to supply large
volume class type information from
the basic licensing records of Texas
drivers.
Hill said DPS must consult with
the State Board of Control to de
termine how much to charge Senior
Citizens.

look from an A&M researcher
Dr. Jack Lunsford has betl
awarded an additional $30,0
the Environmental Protectiof
Agency to identify the conditio*
under which sulfur oxides form«
the surface of airborne particle)
The particles are the productoftlf
emissions of burning coal oranyfe
sil fuels containing sulfur.
The professor said it is knowntl<
these absorbed oxides of sulfi
cause respiratory problems in hif
mans and animals.
Dr. Lunsford is also searchingfa
the forms of oxides of sulfur.
Font
Mrs.
“Current tests don’t distinguii
between sulfate and sulfite ions,
said. “Air quality tests only giveth
total amount of sulfur present assi)
fate ions without distinguishingtb
actual form of the sulfur oxide.
“Our research will show thatefl
tain ions are predominate underi
particular set of conditions, h
said. “This will then help theEPI
interpret the results of other rf
search groups on the respiratoi)if
ritation.”
Lunsford said he was using it
frared spectroscopy to determisf
the nature of chemical compounds
Aerosol type solids such as niif
