SAN DIEGO, Tex. —A Duval County grand jury investigat
ing corruption in the South Texas county’s local government was
expected to return some indictments here today.
The grand jury of nine men and three women was appointed
Feb. 2 by District Court Judge Darrell Hester of Brownsville.
They have worked for about four days, including a daylong
session Monday and indicated they will have something to re
port in open court today.
The grand jury is being assisted by Texas Attorney General’s
office, several Texas Rangers and some Department of Public
Safety intelligence officers. Texas Atty. Gen. John Hill, who
personally presented some cases to the grand jury Feb. 2, sent a
task force here last year at the request of Dist. Atty. Arnulfo
Guerra of Roma. Guerra ealier had announced he was inves
tigating every local government agency in the county, saying he
was going to “clean up Duval County.’
Two previous grand juries working with the attorney general’s
task force have been criticized by Atty. Gen. Hill for their failure
to act. Local observers attributed this failure to act to the fact the
previous grand juries were split along political faction lines.
The present grand jury was seated over vigorous objections
from the Carrillo faction of Duval County. Richard “Racehorse’’
Haynes of Houston presented a motion in behalf of former State
Rep. Oscar Carrillo claiming that members of the Carrillo fac
tion were systematically excluded from the grande jury selection
process. Judge Hester refused to grant the motion to call a new
panel of prospective grand jurors.
The Carrillo faction is opposed by what was once the politi
cally powerful “Old Party” faction headed at one time by the late
George B. Parr and imprisoned former Duval County Judge
Archer Parr.

Both political factions have virtually been destroyed in the
past year as George Parr took his own life while facing a federal
prison term for income tax evasion. Archer Parr is serving a
10-year federal prison term for perjury and former District
Court Judge O. P. Carrillo has been convicted by the Texas
Senate on an impeachment charge and has been removed from
office. The conviction is being appealed through a court suit in
an effort to get his job back.

Pizza Hut bandit
pulls gun, gets loot
A man armed with a pistol robbed
the Pizza Hut at 102 University
Drive of an undisclosed amount of
money about 11:30 last night, police
said this morning.
Police are looking for a 5’ 8” man,
18-20 years old and weighing 135-
140 pounds.
A customer said there were about
18 persons in the restaurant at the
time, but he was unaware the rob
bery had taken place until after
police arrived.
Joe Taylor, the cashier, said the
man was wearing matching blue bell
bottom pants and jacket. He said the
gunman’s hands were shaking and he
appeared to be very nervous.
Taylor said he had noticed the man
pacing the sidewalk outside the door
before he entered the restaurant at
approximately 11:25.
Taylor said the man nervously
looked about the place upon enter
ing. He said the man stepped to the
side of the cash register and stuck a
gun in his side, keeping it hidden
under his coat. Taylor said the man

Republicans may move convention to Miami Beach
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Kansas City
could lose this year’s Republican
convention to Miami Beach, in a dis
pute over hotel space, party leaders
say.
Local officials claim they may fall
10 per cent short of the promised
16,000 rooms for the August event.
GOP officials say if they can’t have all
the rooms pledged, they are pre
pared to move the convention.
Kansas City Mayor Charles
Wheeler summoned hotel represen
tatives for a meeting today in an ef
fort to find the extra accommoda
tions.
“Presumably the mayor will exert
pressure on the hotel association to
come up with the rooms we were
promised,” a GOP spokesman in
Washington said.

Texans may receive priority
on A&M University admission
Future out-of-state and interna
tional applicants to A&M may be
asked to defer their admission until
the following semester if the Univer
sity’s facilities cannot hold them.
In an interview yesterday, Edwin
H. Cooper, dean of admissions and
records said, “If there is a tightening
of the belt in admissions, we will give
a priority to residents of Texas be
cause they are the tax payers.
“That does not mean we will have
a quota for non-residents or that we
will raise the admission require
ments for them.
“Whether we have to tighten our
belts remains to be seen.”
Cooper said that no student would
be denied admission if he met the
University’s entrance requirements.
“If we turn away students that are
qualified, we will defer them to the
spring or encourage them to come in
the summer,” he said.
If an applicant meets the admis
sion requirements of the University
he is automatically accepted. But
should overcrowded conditions be
come apparent as the time api-
proached, the application deadline,
non-residents would become in
creasingly borderline and be defer
red to a later semester, he said.
If they wished, they also could
transfer from another school when
the vacancies arose later. Cooper
said.
“So far we have not had to turn
away students who are qualified, ” he
said. “This year we think we can
handle it but will need another
laboratory section at seven in the
morning.”
Cooper said that a letter is sent to
non-resident applicants referring to
the crowded conditions both on and
off campus.
“We re not trying to hide any
thing,” Cooper said, “and we aren’t
trying to be mean, but we have an
obligation to those already here.
That’s why in the catalog we have a
statement saying we reserve the
right to defer enrollment. ”
