ates reflect 8 per cent increase
C.S. utility ordinances passed
he College Station City Council last
it passed two ordinances defining util-
ateschedules for consumers, reflecting
eight per cent increase given College
tion by Bryan Utilities,
he ordinances, concerning water and
itricity, were passed by votes of two to
, with Councilmen Larry Ringer and
y Halter in favor and Jim Gardner op-
:d.
The water ordinance is tiered such that
the minimum rate for residential users will
remain at $3.25 for the first 2,000 gallons,
but above-minimum amounts will incur
the burden of the increase, up to nine per
cent.
Gardner suggested to the council prior
to the vote that the rate schedule be exam
ined for options to the proposed ordinance.
He said that the rate increase should be
implemented so as to mitigate its regres
sive tendencies. The council agreed to
study Gardner’s suggestions.
Electricity rates were scheduled in a
similar fashion, with minimum rates re
tained at $4.70 per 100 kwh. The bulk of
the increase, from 5 per cent to 5.75 per
cent, will fall on the large users.
The council accepted the bid of Rauscher
Pierce Corp. for the purchase of the city’s
general obligation bonds, and the bid of
Rowles Winston for the revenue bonds.
Investment of the bond funds was
scheduled for a future meeting.
Discussion of an amendment to the con
tract with Moroney, Beissner and Co.,
Inc., the city’s financial advisors, was held
in closed session.

ouisville busing begins 2nd year
Associated Press
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The second year
lourt-ordered school busing began here
/after police used tear gas to break up
arkk-and bottle-throwing protest by more
In 1,000 busing opponents.
Bi.x persons were arrested in the distur-
; Tuesday night, authorities said. No
injuries were reported.
Both sides in the busing controversy,
lich began last year after a federal judge
lered city-county busing to achieve ra-
1 balance, had forecast calm for the new'
l year.
But a march and rally of about 300 to 500
Bsing foes grew into an unruly crowd of
bore than 1,000 protesters who blocked a
jhway, tossed rocks and bottles at police
' |nd chanted defiance of school desegrega-
pon. according to police.
School leaders predicted that attendance
Bay would be down, partly because many
Ipils aren’t expected to attend classes
lil after the Labor Day weekend. This
year’s projected enrollment is 116,800,
down from 122,000 last year.
Louisville Police Chief John Nevin said
after Tuesday night’s incident that he was
no longer as optimistic as he has been that
the school year will be different from 1975,
when court-ordered busing first went into
effect.
The disturbance was the nation’s first
major antibusing demonstration of the new
school year. Last week, Dallas schools
opened for the first time with busing —
without trouble. Schools in Boston, scene
of antibusing violence for the past two
years, open Sept. 8.
Two of those arrested here were accused
of disorderly conduct, two of driving while
intoxicated and two of third-degree crimi
nal mischief. One allegedly set fire to a
dumpster garbage container.
When demonstrators began throwing
objects at police and sitting in the middle of
the highway, police fired “less than 1” tear
gas cannisters into the crowd, a police
spokesman said.
More than 40 antibusing, civil rights and
community leaders Monday had called for
a peaceful school opening. They pledged to
“work to find a peaceful means to achieve
the best possible education.”
In response, U.S. District Court Judge
James F. Gordon on Tuesday lifted a year-
old ban that prevented crowds from gather
ing along the routes of county school buses.
However, he left intact an order prohibit
ing persons from assembling near schools
without permission.

Associated Press Writer
,OS ANGELES — Ronald Reagan, the
mer Wheaties sportscaster who also
redin movies, got elected governor and
for president, is returning to his first
— radio.
jReagan, who narrowly lost to President
prd at the Republican National Conven-
nlast month, had a date in a Hollywood
rnd studio today to start recording a new
itionwide commentary program.
He planned to tape the first 10 pro
grams for the five-minute daily shows, on
which he is expected to voice his conserva
tive philosophy. The show will be aired
■ginning Sept. 20.
■Sofar, 97 radio stations have signed con-
practs to carry the show, said Harry O’Con-
Jior, Reagan's producer. O’Connor pre-
Plcts that he will have 220 to 230 stations
under contract by Sept. 20 and as many as
500 by the end of the year.
After losing at the convention, Reagan
said he planned to campaign for Ford but
would have to devote much of his time to
earning a living through his radio show.
Before Reagan challenged Ford for the
Republican nomination last November, he
was on the air on 347 stations with a similar
five-minute daily commentary called
“Viewpoint.”
But when Reagan announced his candi
dacy, the same Federal Communications
Commission “fairness doctrine” ruling that
barred his 51 old movies from television
also forced him to give up the radio show.
Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona took
over the “Viewpoint” program, which is
now on about 100 stations.
The new show — titled just “Ronald Re
agan” — is the former California governor’s
second return to radio and brings his long
career full circle.
The 65-year-old former actor’s first job
after graduation from Eureka College in
Illinois 44 years ago was as a $5-per-game
sportscaster for radio WOC in Davenport,
Iowa.
He moved on to WHO radio in Des
Moines a few months later. And for the
next five years, “Dutch” Reagan, as he was
known then, was the Chicago Cubs’
Wheaties announcer in Des Moines.
He aired about 600 Cubs baseball games
and 45 University of Iowa football games,
including an lowa-Michigan game on Nov.
11, 1933, in which Gerald Ford played cen
ter for Michigan.
O’Connor refused to discuss the financial
terms of Reagan’s radio contract, but it was
believed to be a generous one.
brought by the NAACP, has not yet de
cided whether to appeal.
The NAACP charged that the schools in
Cleveland were unconstitutionally segre
gated. Battisti said Tuesday that more than
90 per cent of the black children in the
school system attend schools that are pre
dominantly of one race although the
127,000 blacks make up only 57 per cent of
the school population.
Cleveland’s suburbs were not parties to
the suit, and Battisti’s ruling did not in
volve them. But a footnote to his decision
left open the possibility that a solution
could be integration of the city’s schools
with suburban schools.
He said the suburban involvement will
be considered during the remedy stage,
“and in this regard, there is nothing to
prevent the state board from finally com
mencing the carrying out of its respon
sibilities.”
Battisti rejected the school board con
tention that segregation in Cleveland was a
result of housing patterns.

“Put me in right field; I can’t get in
any trouble out there.”
With that, Paul Jagodzinski, a
graduate student at Texas A&M
University working on his Ph.D. in
chemistry, grabbed his baseball
glove and headed for the intramural
outfield.
A few minutes later, while run
ning to catch a fly ball, Paul collided
with the center fielder. Although his
teammate was not hurt, Paul was
shook up and went to the Beutel
Health Center on the A&M campus.
After being treated for a “busted
knee, he went home.
Later that mid-July evening, he
realized that his injuries were more
serious and returned to the Health
Center.
He began bleeding through his
urinary tract and was rushed to St.
Josephs’s Hospital in Bryan.
Paul had torn his left kidney.
After a week in St. Joseph’s, Paul's
condition seemed to improve. Not
having lost any more blood, he was
returned to the Health Center at
A&M.
For a week and a half, Paul lay
recuperating in the infirmary. He
began bleeding massively again one
night and was rushed back to St.
Joseph’s.
Nearly two weeks passed and
Paul’s doctors decided that he could
go back to the campus health center.
Paul had, to this point, been
treated conservatively, said Dr.
Claud Goswiek of the Beutel Health
Center, because his condition
seemed to improve each time after
he bled, until the next hemorrhag
ing. Conservative treatment is
treatment without surgery.
Last Wednesday night, the kidney
ruptured again and an ambulance
raced Paul to the hospital in Bryan.
Paul was given two units of blood
that night, and the hospital had to
send to Waco for more. One unit is
480 cubic centimeters of blood.
Before his bleeding Wednesday
night, Paul had about nine units in
him. After the bleeding and transfu
sion, he was down to eight units
Thursday. A normal man of Paul s
size has about fourteen units.
The damaged left kidney was re
moved in surgery Friday morning.
The surgeon, Dr. Fred Anderson,
said yesterday that Paul is recover
ing and in good condition.
He will soon be facing the task of
paying the bills and Paul has no
money.
Paul is from Bridgeport, Conn.,
and neither his widowed mother nor
his married sister have the means to
help him.
Under University regulations,
each student can receive up to 10
days per semester of free hospitaliza
tion at the Health Center. It is paid
for by the hospital fee assessed dur
ing registration.
Although Paul has long since used
up his 10 days. Dr. Goswiek said that
the Health Center has waived the
costs of the treatment. Dr. Anderson
has also told Paul not to worry about
his bill for awhile.
However, the cost of treatment at
St. Joseph’s Hospital is, for Paul,
overwhelming and he already owes
the government $10,000 in educa
tion loans.
The Battalion has established an
account at the University National
Bank in College Station to help pay
Paul’s medical expenses. Contribu
tions can be made there in his name.
Ford drops request
for some Saudi arms
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Ford adminis
tration has dropped its bid for congres
sional approval of “cluster” bombs for
Saudi Arabia but still faces tough negotia
tions with key senators over Sidewinder
and Maverick missiles.
In the bargaining, aides to Secretafy of
State Henry A. Kissinger have told a group
of senators generally regarded as pro-Israel
that Saudi Arabia is insisting on 1,000 of the
air-to-air Sidewinders.
But, according to congressional sources,
the Ford administration is running into stiff
resistance on the quantity of Sidewinders
and on the request for 1,500 Mavericks, a
TV-guided missile.
The dickering continues today behind
Senate doors and over the telephone be
tween the State Department and the
Capitol. It is the last day for the administra
tion to submit its $5-billion arms package
for Saudi Arabia, Iran, Israel and Pakistan
and still gain congressional approval by ad
journment in early October.
In the effort to reach a negotiated set
tlement — Congress can veto the arms deal
— State Department officials have agreed
to yield on the cluster bombs, an antiper
sonnel weapon used effectively in the
Vietnam war to knock out antiaircraft bat
teries.
Americans shouldn’t sell America short, author says
By JOHN CUNNIFF
Associated Press
NEW YORK — David E. Lilienthal
ouldlike a moratorium on the denigration
America that, he feels, has become the
essage of too many despairing intellectu-
s who fail to understand the spirit of the
eople.
“They should stand in the furrows for a
hile and hear the corn grow and the
arehouses creek,” he said, and then they
ould realize they are practicing a self-
ypnosis and selling America short.
Business Analysis
Lilienthal, long-time public official, au
thor, entrepreneur and developer of ex
traordinary human and natural resource
projects in Iran, Colombia and elsewhere,
was speaking just prior to publication of
“Creativity and Conflict 1964-1967,” the
sixth volume of his journals.
These people, he continued, have lost
confidence in our country, in themselves
and in the people. “They are so overly in
tellectual or impressed with money or
power they don’t have the ability to in
spire.”
And so, he said, “they who use up most
of the words in columns and editorials and
lectures and in talks to students,” should
instead stop and listen and realize it is
mainly they who are disillusioned and de
pressed.
They will hear a different message from
the grass roots of America, he continues,
from the thousands of communities from
which emerges the strength and spirit and
leadership so often lacking in the so-called
centers of power.
The moral authority and integrity of the
nation is found diffused throughout the
land rather than concentrated in the mas
sive cities and “the Washington-New York
axis,” he said.
Lilienthal was a bit irritated, perhaps in
part because he recognized that in the cir
cle of scholarly, politically important and
powerful people of which he has long been
a member, his expressions might be
thought anti-intellectual.
For that, he said, he was prepared, but
he would continue to speak out of his belief
that power is found not in money or politi
cal authority or military might, but in
human beings.
This philosophy permeates his journals,
which begin with his years as chairman of
the Tennessee Valley Authority, continue
through the period in which he headed the
Atomic Energy Commission, on to his cre
ation of the Development and Resources
Corp., a unique private enterprise that has
pursued successfully the integrated de
velopment, physical and human, of once
backward areas.
Written in Gregg shorthand and then
transcribed, the journals have received
high critical acclaim for their style, com
mentaries, anecdotes and observations of
major events and people, as well as sensi
tive reflections on family and nature.
Among other things, the latest volume
— more are being transcribed — describes
his concept of development, which in
cludes not just the building of dams for
power, but training in skills, business, ag
riculture — and confidence.

Invasion mistake causes no problem
between Liechtenstein, Switzerland
Associated Press
BERN, Switzerland, — Came the startling noise in the
night: Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop.
Residents of the Liechtenstein hamlet of Iradug
awakened to the sound of horses and discovered they had
been invaded by steelhelmeted foreign troops.
The villagers suggested that the 75 Swiss militiamen
and their 50 horses were in the wrong country. They then
offered the troops some refreshment.
But the embarrassed soldiers made a sharp U-turn
behind their mounted lieutenant and marched back to
Swiss territory.
The Swiss Defense Ministry said yesterday it had asked
the tiny principality for understanding about the incident
which occurred just before midnight Thursday.
“It’s an area where such things can happen,” said a
Swiss spokesman. “Unlike certain other countries, we are
not separated from our neighbors by barbed wire fences
or border gates.”
Officials said the infantry-support unit had taken a
wrong path at a junction in the hilly, wooded border
region. They marched about 1,600 feet before finding
themselves in Iradug.
The horses were mostly pack animals. The troops had
full combat gear but carried no ammunition, the ministry
said. They are based at Luziensteig Barracks, a major
center for the Swiss army.
Liechtenstein, a 62-square-mile nation of 23,000
people, is sandwiched between Austria and Switzerland
on the Upper Rhine. It is the last surviving member state
of the Holy Roman Empire of German Nations, which
broke up in 1806. With invasions by its two neutral
neighbors being infrequent, it gets along with a 40-man
police force.
Though Liechtenstein is a sovereign state, a customs
and currency union links it to Switzerland, which also
takes care of the principality’s foreign relations.
The incident was not expected to cause any crisis be
tween the two countries. Their relations survived a simi
lar happening eight years ago.
At that time, five stray Swiss artillery shells showered
fragments on part of the Liechtenstein Alpine resort,
Malbun. No one was hurt but a few chairs in a garden
restaurant were damaged.
A Liechtenstein government source in Vaduz, the capi
tal, said, “It is not seldom that Swiss soldiers cross over for
a beer, although it is forbidden. We really don’t bother
too much.”
