AUSTIN, Tex. — Senate Secre
tary Charles Schnabel will not testify
before a holdover Travis County
grand jury because he feels that jury
has shown, by previous indictments,
that it is prejudiced against him, the
AP has learned.
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.

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.”

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.

The A&M Consolidated Kinder
garten playground will get new
equipment this Saturday through

the kindergarten building on Jersey
Street. Volunteers are encouraged to
bring shovels, wheelbarrows, elec

design at Texas A&M University.
Price has designed equipment for
several Houston area parks and
schools.
The project is under the direction
of A&M Consolidated Community
Education program. Arnold Bros.
Lumber Co., Brazos Valley Con
