HOUSTON — Attorney General
H]iU, the Democratic nominee
",-Texas'governor, Monday prom-
J niembers of one of the nation’s
eest petroleum associations he
. uia fight to free the oil and gas
►lUtiy from federal control.
IB said Texas should continue to
ike that point clear to federal offi-
v “We are going to wage the tight to
■eup our oil and gas industry and
iare going to wage that fight until
E »win it,” Hill told members of the
Texas Independent Producers &
Royalty Owners Association in their
annual meeting.
“If the government would just get
out of the way and let the industry
operate free of price controls, we will
solve the energy problems of this
country.”
Hill, who has won the Democrat
governor’s nomination, said the fight
to keep Texas’ intrastate supply of
natural gas free from federal control
is equivalent to the fight for the tide-
lands and for public lands when
Texas came into the union.
[&M to host seminar
Negotiating for the release of a
stage is a high risk and precarious
f Veration for law enforcement offi-
rs,]one where education is more
■KH-tant than either impulsive or
nservative approaches.
■Ike Texas A&M University Sys-
jjL in cooperation with the FBI,
■Slscheduled a special seminar on
negotiation next Tuesday
through Thursday. Its content will
assist police from rural to large met
ropolitan areas in understanding that
preparedness and coordinated
negotiations can save innocent lives.
Robert E. Wiatt, senior resident
agent for the FBI in Bryan and a
principal in several hostage cases
that received national publicity, will
teach many of the course subjects.
Lawyers seek
state bar reform
United Press International
AUSTIN — Disgruntled lawyers
Wednesday announced they will file
suit this month in federal court chal
lenging the authority of the State Bar
of Texas to force Texas attorneys to
jpay for a new $8 million headquar
ters building.
I “We feel that we are being
oerced into paying for a foolish and
illegal act,” Laird Palmer, president
f Lawyers for Bar Reform, said.
Palmer said his group now has
ore than 100 members in Austin,
San Antonio, Houston, Fort Worth,
Dallas, Tyler, Huntsville, Bryan and
other locations.
“We are of the opinion that the
assessment for the bar center consti
tutes taxation without representa
tion; that it is the equivalent of com
pulsory unionization, in violation of
the Texas right to work laws and
other, federal statutes; that it consti
tutes the taking of property without
due process of law, in violation of
both the state and federal constitu
tions,” he said.
Bar officials originally promised to
build the new headquarters building
with voluntary contributions, but
ran into financial difficulties and
were unable to obtain donations to
cover a $3.9 million note on the
building this year.
Attorneys voted 12,696 to 8,686 in
April to impose a one-time assess
ment — amounting to $138 for most
attorneys — to pay off the debt.
Palmer said 12,696 lawyers do not
represent a majority of the 30,300
attorneys in the state.

lirline, bus rate fight cuts
texas summer travel costs

United Press International
HOUSTON — Travelers willing
forsake their cars for public trans-
SRtion may never find lower
ces than this summer.
--Stimulated by a new Civil
Biautics Board chairman who is
Bst close regulation of the indus-
, airlines increasingly are using
tit I cuts as a marketing tool,
the Id a major bus line has coun-
Iwith price cuts of its own, and a
ll attack on the wave of special
lint airlines tickets,
lie conditions under which a
reler can get reduced air fares are
festricted that the traveler has the
Kodds of getting a ticket as win-
ig a lottery,” James Kerrigan,
■executive officer of Greyhound
^ Hines said.
Kirigan announced that during
B all interstate Greyhound trips
bujiiiluesdays and Wednesdays will be
ids fprice.
‘This is a simple, no-gimmick
Slula designed to stimulate mid-
dieiek bus travel,” he said,
supp Kerrigan attacked such plans as
etml
American Airlines’ Supersaver fares,
which must be purchased 30 days in
advance, and Continental’s Chicken
Feed fares, since only a low percent
age of available seating is allotted for
reduced prices.
Texas International Airlines has
announced the lowest discount price
ever. During its first four days of
service between Dallas and Kansas
City, standby fares will be sold for $1
one-way.
Jim O’Donnell, vice president for
marketing, defended the “get-
acquainted” fare against charges of
gimmickiy.
“Of course, there’s a high degree
of risk whether you get on, but this is
all done in the spirit of fun,” he said.
“We will have a total of 800 seats
available daily between Dallas and
Kansas City, and we re expecting
half of them to be paid in the first
several months of service.”
“That means from June 15 to June
19, as many as 1,600 lucky people
may get to fly stahdby between Dal
las and Kansas Citydpr a dollar,” he
said. •
Texas international also has a fare
called “Peanuts,” which gives an
across-the-board fare reduction of 35
percent.

Hals Court decision and ordered

lice suit filed by a Houston man
1st his attorney.
■trial court had ruled Frank E.
Ktfort was entitled to collect
!0,OOO in actual damages and
5,000 in exemplary damages from
Wney William B. Jeter because

174 on grounds that Jeter had
gpngfully agreed to the judgment
Hist him.
