DES MOINES, Iowa — Show
business entrepreneur David Han
son says he’s trying to save pure bur
lesque from the traffickers in lewd
ness and dirty shows.
Helping Hanson in his battle are
his attractive wife who dances as
Sandy O’Hara, a 57-year-old fast-
talking pitch man named Bill
Thompson and a 75-year-old come
dian, Claude Mathis.
T’ve cried many a night when I
see what they’ve done to our busi
ness, lamented Hanson in his air-
conditioned trailer at the Iowa State
F ai r.
“What happened to burlesque is
that pseudo-producers over the
years have tried to - not refine bur
lesque - but they’ve tried to jazz it
up. They’ve tried to outdo each
other with the nudity and the lewd
ness of shows, said Hanson. “And
consequently, they’ve changed it
into nothing that resembles burles
que.”
What the “pseudo-producers’
have wrought, said Hanson, is
“strip-o-ramas and smut-factories.
lesque.
“Young people will go in, and
they’ll see 10 generally bad strip
pers. They come out and rip their
clothes off and commit some lewd,
lascivious act or just get naked. And
the young people say: This is bur
lesque?
Thompson, of Eau Claire, Wis.,
veteran of 38 years with “thrill
shows, minstrel shows, girl shows,
freak shows, said it’s hard to get
customers to pay to see just sexy
women.
“Before you used to go to the
catalogue ads to see sex, ” said
Thompson. “Now even the regular
movies have it. ’
What sells today, agreed Hanson
and Thompson, is entertainment.
Apparently they are right, be
cause Hanson said his dinner thea
ter act has completed arrangements
to perform for 52 weeks into 1977 at
various clubs around the nation.
Hanson s show for dinner theat
ers - about the same as the midway
presentation - carries a company of
33 people: “10 showgirls, the 1950s
recording group The Hilltoppers,
four comedians, three stripteasers,
a magic act.
Dallas schools have
new integration plan
Associated Press
“Ten girls coming out and taking
off their clothes doesn’t make a bur
lesque show.
The kind of burlesque Hanson
produces is family fare, be said. His
shows, which play to fair, carnival
and dinner theater audiences, con
centrate on dancing, music and
comedy.
A lot of American young people,
said Hanson, “have never seen bur-
DALLAS - The Dallas school
board reportedly will ask U. S. Dis
trict Court Judge William Taylor to
approve a school desegregation plan
which will leave several schools
predominantly black.
The school board announced
Monday it had reached a concensus
on a proposal to Judge Taylor re
garding desegregation. The board
said it had asked its staff to develop a
pupil assignment plan for the dis
trict.
The proposal is to be formally ap
proved and presented to Judge
Taylor on Wednesday.
The Dallas Morning News said
the plan includes retaining several
schools with predominantly black
enrollment and closing several
other schools. The school board said
some additional busing of students
will be necessary to meet court rul
ings.
Taylor must order a desegrega
tion plan for implementation by the
middle of the 1975-76 school year,
according to a ruling by the U. S.
5th Circuit Court of Appeals at New
Orleans.
The Dallas Independent School
District has an enrollment of
142,034 pupils, of which 46.28 per
cent are white, 41.39 percent black
and 11.53 per cent Mexican-
American.
McGovern suit dismissed

Associated Press
HOUSTON — A state civil dis
trict court judge dismissed a suit
Monday filed in behalf of Sen.
George McGovern, D-S.D.,
against seven corporations that al
legedly made illegal contributions

to the re-election campaign of Pres
ident Richard M. Nixon.
State Civil District Court Judge
John Snell granted motions of the
corporations that called for a sum
mary judgment or dismissal of the
suit.
Quinnan H. Hodges and Arthur
Gochman, lawyers representing
McGovern, Immediately an
nounced they would appeal the rul
ing to the Texas Court of Civil Ap
peals.
Named in the suit were American
“Consequently the laws of Texas
would have no application.
Carrigan said both Goodyear and
American Airways made the con
tributions by hand delivering cash
to then Secretary of Commerce
Maurice Stans in Washington. Stans
later became finance chairman of
Nixon s re-election campaign.
Hodges said the state statutes did
apply because they were designed
to protect the voters “so a big corpo
ration can t tilt the election one wax
or the other.
Airlines, Ashland Oil, Braniff Air
ways, Goodyear Tire and Rubber,
Gulf Oil, Minnesota Mining &
Manufacturing and Phillips Pet
roleum.
The corporations allegedly con
tributed a total of $545,000 to Ni
xon’s 1972 campaign for reelection.
McGovern was his democratic op
ponent.
The suit alleged that under the
Texas Election Code the companies
were civilly liable to McGovern for
twice the amount of the illegal con
tributions, or $1.09 million.
In arguments before Judge Snell,
Ralph Carrigan, an attornex for
American Airlines and for
Goodyear, said that “the Texas
legislature has gone to considerable
lengths to make certain the presi
dential campaigns were excluded
from state statutes on campaign con
tributions.
Carrigan said the legislative his
tory of the applicable statutes
clearly showed that the laws were
intended to apply to elective offi
cials representing only the people of
Texas.
B. J. Bradshaw, representing
Ashland Oil, said the statutes cited
in the law suit “simply have no ap
plication to the office for which Mr.
McGovern was candidate.
“Those contributions didn’t occur
within the state of Texas, he said.
1 in asking that voters should
have the right to choose without
corporations cheating bx putting
money into the hands of the other
guv ,” he said.
Gochman said the state election
laws were designed “to protect the
public from the overwhelming
power of corporations.
He said the $100,()()() contribu
tion by Gulf Oil to Nixon s campaign
meant as much to that giant oil com
pany as a 1.5 cent contribution
would to a man making $35,000 a
year
Gochman said the suit should be
heard in Texas because “the effect of
those contributions were felt in
Texas and the trial should be where
the damage was done.
McGovern was overwhelmingly
defeated in Texas by Nixon.
The state suit was identical to one
filed in federal court in 1974. That
suit, too, was thrown out and the
dismissal was upheld on April 18 by
the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Ap
peals. Gochman refiled the suit in
state court on June 25.
The suit lists these alleged
amounts of the contributions:
American Airlines, $75,()()(): Ash
land Oil, $100,000; Braniff Airways,
$40,000; Goodyear, $1(X),()()(); Gulf
Oil, $100,000; Minnesota Mining &
Manufacturing, $30,000; and Phil
lips, $100,000.

Malpractice pool
offers higher rates
Associated Press
AUSTIN — Doctors who are
forced to buy their malpractice in
surance from the new risk-sharing
pool will pay 18 to 20 per cent more
than the highest rates charged by
companies that write such coverage
voluntarily.
But the Joint Underwriting As
sociation rates approved Monday by
the State Insurance Board are 40
per cent less than the insurance
executives who run the JUA wanted
to charge.
Final action on the rates was the
last major step required to put the
JUA into full operation.
The usual malpractice policy pro
vides up to $1(X),000 per claim, with
a maximum of $300,000 per year.
Approved rates for such coverage
include $1,800 a year for non-
surgical physicians in Harris County
and $1,200 for those in other coun
ties.
The highest rates prov ided are
$14,400 for neurosurgeons, or
thopedic surgeons and chest sur
geons in Harris County. Those same
specialists elsewhere in the state
would pay $9,6(X).

complained the loudest about high
malpractice rates and lack of cover-
