IIMSURAIMGE COMRAIMY MOfVIE OFFICE - BIRIV1IIMGM AIVI, At-A BA (VIA Efforts to develop Texas’ vast lignite deposits as an economi cal and practical alternate fuel source are among initial pro jects for Texas A&M’s new Center for Energy and Mineral Resources (CEMR). CEMR was created by the board of regents to serve as a focal point for research and re lated programs to help provide long and short-range solutions to the state’s energy problems. The Legislature earlier this year awarded Texas A&M a spe cial $958,072 appropriation for studies with the greatest poten tial for meeting energy needs in Texas. development of lignite as an energy source for Texas. These studies concern improved methods of mining the brown coal found throughout East and Central Texas, analyzing it to determine possible contamin ants and determining how strip-mined land may be re turned to agricultural produc tion. Service Employes International Union and a key figure in COPE, the AFL-CIO’s Committee on Political Education, said this is in line “with Meany’s mandate to put together slates of delegates. ” AFL-CIO President George Meany has said the labor federation will take no official part in the dele gate selection process, but he is en couraging unions to get involved in dividually so that labor could be a potent political force in the event the convention is deadlocked and farced to seek a compromise candidate. Interviews with several of labor’s political strategists here for the fed eration’s national convention, which opens Thursday, made it clear they are anxious to avoid a repeat of 1972, when labor split over the candidacy of Sen. George McGovern. These officials said that while there is no consensus yet among union leaders on a particular candi date, they believe the Democrats will be able to produce a nominee acceptable to all segments of 4 I labor movement. Sen. Bennett Johnston t I Louisiana, chairman of the Denw i ratic Senatorial Campaign Conwii - tee, told COPE officials earlieritp week that the party “learned Ik*, dependent we are on you.” K Th e He said labor’s support in Irfi^ar ' month’s special New HampshireSjbegun nate election “proved to be them> Royal \ effective use of labor that we’ve p- all beat had in this country.” Ing P ac ■ Ther The new campaign finance lawbl^ 11 federal elections limits the amounlM ta<aluI political contributions hut leaves': clubs t ions free to use treasury funds tot fc^ 01 " 6 form their members, finance jet “I tl out-the-vote drives and pay salaii» ar of union personnel doing politic*' work, provided they are underunicc* 13 * * control.

Wainerdi, CEMR director, said alterna tive energy sources will receive the greatest attention in the center’s first studies. In addition to the lignite ac tivities, the center’s first series of projects includes studies re garding safety aspects of nuclear energy, new approaches to oil and gas exploration, and energy storage and conservation. Five projects will deal with “Lignite is an important re source for Texas, but we do not know yet just how important it may be,” Wainerdi pointed out. “Also, we need to find the best techniques to mine the ore without damaging the environ ment.” Jury argues Carrillo fate Associated Press One of the center’s investiga tions will determine what ores might be present in Texas lig nite. Recoverable quantities of uranium have been found in lignite in North Dakota. Nuclear-related studies in itiated by the center include in vestigations of safety evaluation techniques for reactors and studies of radiation damage in metals.

CORPUS CHRISTI — After hearing 53 minutes of instruc tions on the law, a federal court jury began deliberations Wed nesday in the income-tax trial of suspended District Court Judge O. P. Carrillo and Duval County Commissioner Ramiro Carril lo. U.S. District Court Judge Owen D. Cox read the 42-page charge and then listened to 30 minutes of objections to the charge by defense lawyers. The jury filed from the courtroom to begin deliberations at 1:50 a.m., breaking an hour and 10 minutes later for lunch. The jury has been sequestered for 22 days. The Carrillo brothers are being tried on charges of conspiring with Arturo Zertuche, a cousin, to file false income-tax returns and on charges of filing such returns. The government’s case against the controversial South Texas political figures centered around a claim that the brothers and Zertuche, who is to be tried later, set up Zertuche’s General Store at Benavides as a sham to conceal what would have been illegal conflict-of-interest sales to Duval County government agencies. Government prosecutors contended that sales reported by the Zertuche store were actually sales made by the Fam and Ranch Supply Store, a Benavides firm owned by the Carrillo brothers, and should have been reported as income to them. Testimony in the trial took 15 days as 34 witnesses testified and hundreds of financial documents were introduced as evi dence. Lawyers for both sides presented a total of four hours closing arguments Tuesday. After the jury retired, the Carrillos and a group of supporters gathered outside the courtroom to await the verdict. The end of this trial will not mark the end of legal problems for Judge Carrillo. He faces an immediate impeachment trial in the Texas Senate and is under an indictment in Jim Wells County (Alice) on a theft charge.
