LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The five
states belonging to the Ozarks Re
gional Commission expressed inter
est Tuesday in asking Texas to join
the group but stopped short of tak
ing formal action for fear they might
be overshadowed.
The Ozarks group, meeting in
conjunction with the National Gov
ernors’ Conference, is made up of
Oklahoma, Louisiana, Missouri,
Kansas and Arkansas.
Oklahoma Gov. George Nigh fa
vored prompt action to get Texas
into the group but the governors of
Kansas and Arkansas were more
cautious. Missouri Gov. Joseph P.
Teasdale who chairs the commission
and Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards
were absent.
Nigh, whose state shares a border
with Texas, said the Ozarks Re
gional Commission set up by Con
gress would probably have more fi
nancial clout if Texas is added. “The
way national politics is going, it
would be an advantage getting funds
to have some Texans. They have a
pretty big influence in Washington.”

EAGLE PASS, Texas — A team
|)f state veterinarians converged
uesday for a roundup and vaccina-
ion of dogs and cats in an attempt to
urtail an outbreak of rabies that has
ailed two children along the Mexico
wrder.
Dr. William Bilderback, director
f the Zoonosis Control Division of
he Texas Department of Health,
istimated from 2,500 to 3,000 pets
wait vaccination in the border area.
Last week, the city council passed
in emergency measure allowing for
mmediate shooting of stray untag-
;ed animals, but a three-day waiting
>eriod still was in effect for regis-
:ered strays.
In Mexico, officials shot and
joisoned several hundred strays last
nonth after the death of a child in a

Jaworski warns
United Press International
I HOUSTON — Watergate prose
cutor Leon Jaworski is concerned
about President Carter’s reported
plan for a national energy board
empowered to overrule all other
government entities in matters of
energy.
“I don’t know any details of this
plan, but I would be slow to go
along with anything that transgres
ses property rights or the rights of
an individual,” the former
I Watergate prosecutor said.
“Once you use the excuse that the
nation’s security is in danger be
cause of a situation that’s very press
ing it can be used as an excuse the
next time. I don’t see how I could
favor it.”
condition from a confirmed case.
Bilderback said the state would
furnish five or six veterinarians in
the Eagle Pass vaccination drive to
be supervised by Dr. Williamk D.
Nettles, the regional Zoonosis Con
trol Director from Uvalde.
“We’ll only be there to give a
hand with the vaccinations,” Bil
derback said.
He said local authorities would be
in charge of rounding up the animals
in a door-to-door, block-by-block in
spection.
He said it was hoped the veteri
narians could complete the vaccin
ations by Friday.
Oklahoma City,” Nigh said. “But if
we can promote tourism on a re
gional basis, we ll do much better
with Texas (in the group) because
everyone has heard of it.”
He also said most foreign consu
lates involved in trade missions with
Oklahoma are headquartered in
Houston and “it just makes a neat
rectangular package, speaking geo
graphically.”
But Kansas Gov. John Carlin said
he wants to make sure if Texas joins
the commission, member states
don’t lose federal funds. “We should
not split the same pie six ways in
stead of five,” he said. “If this goes
through there should be a bigger
appropriation from Congress to take
care of Texas. ”
Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton said
he is concerned Texas might in
some way be eyeing his state’s
ample water supply.
“I think we should tell Texas we
are interested in having them join,”
Clinton said, “but that we want to
work out specific concerns before
we issue a formal invitation. We
should tell them there are financial
and other matters we want to get an
understanding on, which I’m sure
we will get.”
Gary Vassmore, representing
Teasdale, said he has contacted an
aide to Texas Gov. William P. Cle
ments Jr. “I understand Gov. Cle
ments is very interested in the idea,
and I know Gov. Teasdale is very
enthusiastic.”
The Ozarks Regional Commis
sion, like other such commissions
set up by Congress, works on prob
lems common to states.
