United Press International HOUSTON — The investigation resulting in the arrest of Fort Worth millionaire T. Cullen Davis for solic iting the murder of his divorce judge was based solely on one in formant’s allegations, an FBI agent testified Wednesday. After telling authorities Davis wanted an automatic pistol, infor mant David McCrory purchased and provided one on his own, the FBI agent testified. “You never found any evidence of any kind other than from Charles David McCrory to substantiate the claim of (planned) kidnappings by Mr. Davis?” defense lawyer Richard “Racehorse” Haynes asked FBI agent Ronald K. Jannings. “No sir,” Jannings replied. When Haynes asked if Jannings had instructed McCrory to purchase a .22-caliber Ruger automatic pistol the agent responded: “I had no idea he was going to buy it, no sir.” Jannings said McCrory told au thorities, “Mr. Davis wanted a .22 Ruger but we never encouraged him to purchase one. I knew he had bought it when he got there (with the pistol). I didn’t know he was going to.” Davis, 45, was arrested Aug. 20 in Fort Worth after meeting McCrory on a restaurant parking lot. Au thorities said they recovered the pistol from Davis’ car. After McCrory purchased it and before it was recovered, the FBI fitted the weapon with a silencer. As a result, Davis also is charged with posses sion of a prohibited weapon. Haynes tried to suggest to the jury McCrory s allegations were too weak to have been accepted without corroboration and so convenient as to imply a conspiracy against Davis. The residt was a mild rebuke from presiding District Judge Wallace Moore. THE WHEEL WORLD The Fuel Proof Wheels STUDENTS!!!

I o T on sk» i p United Press International ROQUEFORT — LES-PINS, France — Cesar Baldaccini, perhaps France’s greatest living sculptor, says sculpture is dying out, artists have to spend too much time hawking their wares, and the French are being squeezed out of the rich U.S. market. Cesar, as he is popularly known, seemed reluctant to discuss his own works, which range from bronze re productions ol his thumb blown up 40 times to pressed “compressions” of rags and cigar boxes or drools of colorful plastic. Instead, the artist, wearing a cot ton toga reminiscent of his Roman namesake, talked about what sculpture is and what it is not. “My sculpture is the product of a purely physical process brought about in part by the influence of | international cultural life,” he said. He added gloomily: “Sculpture is practically dead. There are few great sculptors left in i the world today. Sculpture has too | often been confused with objects i and sculpture has nothing to do with MANOR EAST 3 THEATRES SATURDAY NITE FEV£a.

He was a great artist but what we call his sculptures were ac tually his experiments with the problems of space. He was more of an engineer and a hobbyist than a sculptor. “A sculpture exists only to the ex tent to which it reflects the person ality of the artist.” Cesar, speaking in the thick ac cents of the Marseille working-class neighhornood where he was horn 57 years ago, seemed somewhat hitter about the workings of the interna tional art world. His greatest wish is to get a major show in the United States, which he calls the most important artistic cen ter today. “But unfortunately the American art market is virtually closed for us French artists,” he said. He blamed oversupply and U.S. cultural chauvinism. “The United States is now pro moting its own artists on such a grand scale we can’t even hope to be JL competitive,” said Cesar, ij. Although he has exhibited his L work at such prestigious temples of modern art as the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Georges J Pompidou Center in Paris, the Tate J Gallery in London and most re- cently at the Picasso Museum in jf.
