Sources told the AP Wednesday that Schnabel begged to be allowed to testify Dec. 30, the day the grand jury returned one official misconduct and two theft indictments against him. Schnabel’s lawyer, Roy Minton, declined to say whether he would urge Schnabel to testify. The sources said there were two main reasons Schnabel will not ask to testify: the grand jury has no power to rescind the earlier indictments; 1 and it has shown by its unwillingness to hear him before returning those charges that it is likely to return more indictments regardless of any thing he might say. Schnabel was indicted for placing a parking lot owner on the Senate payroll for two months to pay for sec retaries’ parking; placing a camera shop owner on the payroll for one month to pay for a Senate camera; and working a Senate Print Shop employee on Schnabel’s farm. The employee, Frank). Smith III, says he never received state pay for the work and he never worked fewer than 40 hours in the print shop in any week when he worked at the farm. Sources said district attorney in vestigators are working hard to bol ster those three weak indictments with more charges against Schnabel. Handwriting experts at the Austin Police Department reportedly have told investigators that a July 1971 check made out to Marcela Atkinson was endorsed by the same person who wrote a note signed “Schnabel” to the Texas Warranty Co. request ing an advance on the check. Mrs. Atkinson has told inves tigators she never received the July 1971 check. Atkinson is the maiden name of Alex Martinez wife. He was fired by Schnabel last Sept. 15 for allegedly stealing Senate Print Shop paper. Six of the seven senators on the Senate Administration Committee — Schnabel’s bosses — have said the theft indictments never should have been issued. Some also said the offi cial misconduct charge was bogus. Others said they lacked sufficient in formation on that one to make a judgment. The seventh member of the com mittee, Chairman Don Adams, D-Jasper, declined comment on whether he thought the grand jury should have returned the indict ments. The grand jury meets again Monday, and prosecutors say they can finish presenting the state’s evi dence at that session.

The Agronomy Building is proba bly worth renovation, McCandless said, but the State Chemistry Build ing is not structurally sound. The State Chemistry Building might be used, but A&M wouldn’t put a lot of money in it, he said. The buildings would probably not be removed before 1980. The Uni versity has not made a decision on the buildings yet, McCandless said. Civic center (continued from page 1) gress, said he had approached the city late last year with his offer to donate the land, but the city appar ently was not very interested in the offer at that time. Fitch also said that five years ago he donated 19 acres of land to the city, which included the required amount of dedicated park land, but the city has yet to develop the land into a park. City ordinance requires develop ers to dedicate one acre of land for every 133 apartment units and one acre for every 20 single-family dwel lings constructed. Fitch said he still wants the city to consider his offer. “I’m interested in providing park land for the future residents that will live out in this (Southwood Valley) area,” he said. “If the city wants to build a civic center on the land I donate, that’s fine with me.” The LaSalle a resident Hotel FACULTY, STAFF, POST-GRADS: you need a quiet, dignified place to live & study?

($1) — Paul Arnett Youth poverty level great, report says Associated Press WASHINGTON — Although there are fewer children in America today than there were five years ago,' a larger percentage of them are poor. This is one of the conclusions about poverty, child health care and family structure documented in a new publication called “America’s Children 1976.” The 90-page book, sponsored by the National Council of Organiza tions for Children and Youth, is based on federal Census Bureau ma terial. It outlines how changing at titudes about women, a rising di vorce rate and several years of eco nomic uncertainty have affected the nation’s 66 million children under 18. Some of the findings are: — During 1974, about one in six children in America lived in families whose income was below the official federal poverty level, $5,038 for a family of four. This compares with about one in seven children in 1970. — Ten million children, about one in six, were being raised by a single parent in 1974. This compares with about one in seven children four years earlier. — Although the infant mortality rate has dropped about 25 per cent since 1960, it is still twice as high for nonwhite children as white children. — In 1975, about two out of five children had mothers in the labor force, a 12 per cent increase over 1970. The council, a coalition ofl80 vol unteer organizations concerned with children’s issues, reported that be cause of a falling birth rate, the number of children under 18 de creased by 2.4 million, or 3.4 per cent, from 1970 to 1974. o Petal Pushers 707 TEXAS 846-6713 Across from A&M Consol kindergarten parents to build play equipment The A&M Consolidated Kinder garten playground will get new equipment this Saturday through the help of parents and volunteers.
