First District elects Republi United Press International NEW ORLEANS — Reaping backlash votes in a year of election controversy and corruption, former federal prosecutor Robert Living ston has become the first Republican since Reconstruction to represent Louisiana’s 1st Congressional Dis trict. Livingston, who has been cam paigning for the seat ever since Rep. F. Edward Hebert retired last year, won 50 per cent of the vote Saturday to defeat Democratic challenger Ron Faucheux 54,250 to 40,880 with all but one precinct reporting. Independent Democrat Sanford Krasnoff, who entered the race after the June primaries, won 14,267 votes or about 13 per cent. Faucheux took only one of the four parishes in the district, beating Livingston 73 per cent to 23 per cent in Plaquemines Parish. But the Republican beat Faucheux by 9 per cent in Orleans Parish which was considered a Democratic strong- Company accused of sexual misconduct United Press International SAN ANTONIO — An attorney for a former Southwestern Bell executive says because the tele phone company has attempted to discredit his client by delving into his sexual conduct, he now feels free to bring up the sexual backgrounds of other Bell employees. Southwestern Bell last week Kissing contest has low turnout, sets no records United Press International COLUMBIA, Mo. — There were very few Tigers who came out to show the spirit of the University of Missouri Tigers in a staged Kissing Contest during the weekend, with only five couples competing for the Kissingest Couple title. The only rule for the contest was that competitors could not embrace with their hands, but four of the couples were not imaginative enough to please the judges. Then Cindy Russo of Kansas City maneuvered a backbending headstand, bracing her hands on the ground and her feet on the knees of the supine Jim Maion of St. Louis. The couple managed a kiss, and held it for the two-minute minimum to grab a heart-shaped trophy. Wayne P. Anderson, a human sexuality professor and judge of the contest, attributed the low turnout — promoters had expected 160 couples instead of five — to the timidity of the students. “Everybody’s a little conscious of making fools of themselves,” he said. began to counter allegations con tained in a $29 million libel-slander suite filed by former executive James Ashley and the family of T. O. Gravitt, Bell’s vice president for Texas who committed suicide in 1974. Bell chose to defend itself by presenting six of its female em ployees to testify that Gravitt and Ashley obtained sexual favors in ex change for promotions. Bell con tends Gravitt’s and Ashley’s promis cuity led to their downfalls. But Pat Maloney, attorney for Ashley-Gravitt, has said he may call witnesses late in the trial to talk about how sexual misconduct is widespread in the company. Maloney claims American Tele phone and Telegraph Co. singled out Ashley and Gravitt for a harras- sing investigation because the two men were ready to expose corrup tion in the giant system. Gravitt, an $80,000-a-year execu tive with 23,000 employees in his command, comitted suicide in his Dallas garage at the height of the investigation on Oct. 17, 1974, leav ing a note saying “Watergate is a gnat compared to Southwestern Bell.” Ashley was fired two weeks later. hold by 17 per cent in St. Bernard and by 38 per cent in St. Tammany. Livingston, a 34-year-old former prosecutor and veteran of the attorn ey general’s organized crime unit, lost the general election last year to Democrat Richard Tonry who went to Congress despite a bitterly con tested primary election. But the tight 5,000 vote spread was a moral victory for the Republican. Charges of vote fraud in that race kept Tonry in court during much of his four months in Washington. A federal investigation into vote steal ing and campaign finance violation led to his resignation and two weeks ago he entered a federal prison to serve a year for violating campaign finance laws. In the rerun election, Livingston handily defeated former Democrat James Moreau and with a slick, well-financed media campaign suc cessfully challenged Democratic nominee Ron Faucheux, a 26-year- old freshman state representative who defeated Tonry in the primary. Livingston’s ads often pictured him with his wife and three sons and stressed his work experience, criticizing the bachelor Faucheux, ovemoi who lives with his parent!, ene young and inexperienced ti as Loui sent the district.

Testimony is expected to last at least another week. United Press International AUSTIN — The more compli cated society and affluence become, the more Texas’ probate code looks like a confusing collection of 19th Century laws for a rural-oriented state, according to a legislator study ing revision of the code. Rep. Ben Z. Grant, D-Marshall, Saturday urged the House Judiciary Coiyimittee to consider the probable expectations of descendant s, the dif ferent complexities of present law when proposing changes in the pro bate code. The committee is conducting interim studies on the code. “The complexion of our society, the forms of wealth, and the means of transmitting wealth at death have changed drastically since 1848, and even since 1955, ’ Grant said. “The Texas Probate Code can be complete without complexity. It can offer protections without being con- fiising.’’ Frequent criticisms of the present code, he said, include: _it causes unnecessary court pro ceedings and expense to settle an estate; _it does not distribute property as most Texans would want; _Jt is not clear on the status of A jubilant Livingston,! red and white “I did i toasted a ballroom full of supporters Saturday aftere the win. “The people are tiredij they’ve been getting aii| they’ve got something Livingston said. “It’s a great victory —w: led, said a spokesman faj publican National Comn Washington which had fclfj ANT 1st Disrict race as a kej i U Bris< sional contest. feed si Faucheux, who hoped to! ei 0 n tl one of the youngest menloi gy polic Congress, said time anc Tissues were key elements to h Ithe So Livingston spent almost |ce conv much as Faucheux and fc Icoe, tl legislator was forced tospes jbr con of the campaign in BatonH) d to vo siana Gc Congres: ama Can three-d; Uee a st ation of for Car fallens t is if tht substitute wills; I for five it does not recognize I | no t ] (now ent character of wealth that of a centry ago Texas was a rural ag®i from the time it became) 1845 until after World Wat! ing that time, an individual was measured primarilyi» the land he owned which 0 passed on to his family'® iased d res r, but s; to the hink it ased tl crossin said th it at bo tinned to live on the said.
