Jones, 43, resident writer, actor and director at the Dallas Theater Center, entered St. Paul Hospital 10 days ago for treatment of the ulcer. He underwent surgery Monday. Jones’ “Trilogy” — under the origional name “The Bradleyville Trilogy” — premiered at the Dallas Theater Center in 1974. The “Trilogy” moved to the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., where it was received with widespread acclaim, and then to Broadway in New York. Court upholds firing of policeman AUSTIN — The Texas Supreme Court today upheld the firing of a Lubbock city policeman dismissed for unauthorized use of telephone equipment. Officer Robert Estrello was dismissed by Police Chief J.T. Alley on June 4, 1976, after a police sergeant had fould Estrello using a handset telephone connected to a telephone company wire box at the rear of Associates Financial Services Co. offices in Lubbock. The sergeant said Estrello had opened the wire box and used al ligator clips to attach the telephone to the system. Estrello contended he was using the telephone to call a restaurant and order his breakfast, but the line was busy. Texas airline strengthens planes 7 bodies HOUSTON — Texas International Airlines said today it long ago reinforced rear bulkheads on 16 of its 17 DC-9s which had stress problems similar to those that forced the unscheduled landing of an Air Canada flight this week. Vice President Jim O’Donnell said its newly acquired 17th DC-9 was being checked today and would be strengthened if necessary. The stress problem reported is in the rear bulkhead of the aircraft’s tail. “In September 1976, we cut an engineering order which detailed work to be done in putting metal reinforcement into the affected area,” O’Donnell said.

Eisenhower’s most lid thoughts about the highest Ions of the U.S. military com- d early in World War II. r. Francis L. Loewenheim e the rare find while searching nigh 9 million documents that been received at the Dwight Eisenhower Library at Abilene, ., since the former president’s :h. oewenheim’s account of the script, found in an envelope and lished in a copyright series by Houston Chronicle, revealed mhower considered Gen.

Harry C. cher, his friend of 20 years, med to use portions of it in his “My Three Years with ower.” fthe identity of the typist of the fplete diary remains a mystery. even a cursory glance at its contents is sufficient to suggest why, in the flush of final victory in Europe, Eisenhower had ordered the mate rial destroyed,’ Loewenheim said. “. . .The newly available entries describe personal differences, hos tility and ill-feeling at the top of the U.S. high command in an unprece dentedly candid fashion. “One thing that might help win this war is to get someone to shoot King,’’ Eisenhower wrote in a March 1942 entry. “He’s the anti thesis of cooperation — a deliber ately rude person — which means he’s a mental bully.” The diary revealed Eisenhower’s impatience and disenchantment with MacArthur in the Pacific front, while recognizing MacArthur’s suc cesses. “In many ways, MacArthur is as big a baby as ever,” Eisenhower wrote on Jan. 19, 1942. “But we’ve got to keep him fighting.” Ag group pleased with tour United Press International BELGRADE, Yugoslavia — Texas Gov. William P. Clements, winding up a three-week tour of Communist Europe, said Wednes day the trip had “exceeded the ex pectations” of his 35-member ag ricultural delegation. Clements, whose delegation of ranchers, farmers and other agricul turalists, including Dr. Jarvis E. Mil ler, president of Texas A&M Univer sity, visited Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia on a “people to people” tour, said the trip had been an eye-opener in many ways. “Almost all of the people on the delegation had never been in this part of the world before,” Clements said, chatting in the lobby of the lux ury Hotel Yugoslavia on the bank of the Danube River. “In every instance,” he went on, “the countries we visited have ex ceeded our expectations — the way they work, the way they are doing it — the countries in general, but spe cifically in agriculture.” Clements said the delegation ex plored possible communist markets for Texas agricultural exports, machinery and technology. “No agreements were con cluded,” he said, “but we didn’t ex pect any would be.” He said Yugoslavia, which is communist but not a member of the East bloc, appeared to offer the best trade prospects for Texas.
