CS council OKs plans
Southwest Parkway project to cost $707,000
By TIM JASEK
City Reporter
The College Station City Council
voted Thursday night to approve
preliminary plans to expand South
west Parkway to the East Bypass.
City Manager North Bardell is to
begin accepting bids on the esti
mated $707,000 project. The city
plans to advertise throughout Texas
because of the project’s magnitude,
Bardell said.
The extension will be of the same
width as the existing parkway, he
said.
It will take approximately IY2
years to build the road, he said.
A traffic signal will be placed at the
intersection of Southwest Parkway
and Texas Avenue even before con
struction begins, he said.
The plan has been under consider
ation for the past three years, when
the first cost analysis of over
$400,000 was made.
Since then, estimated costs have
risen nearly 60 percent. If the pro
ject is constructed in four phases, as
was dicussed, total costs could reach
$1 million, Bardell said.
If the project is completed, the
city would pay the bill, he said, but
get back a substantial amount from
property owners over the following
three to four years.

The council, including newly

Runnels, also decided to an agree
ment between the city and Walton &
Associates, a consulting firm, to up
date the city’s street specifications.
The consulting firm will work with
the city staff in finding weaknesses
and needed revisions of city streets.
In other action, the council:
— accepted a low bid of $208,693
council for the paving of parking
areas and streets in Krenek Tap
Park. It would take 140 days to com
plete the plan, said purchasing agent
Lee Weddle, who presented the
bids.
— passed an ordinance requiring
wrecker operators to sign a formal
permit to tow in the city.
— decided that portions of
Eisenhower, Poplar, Sterling, Tho
mas and Peyton streets will be paved
and property owners will be assessed
in the future. Because property own
ers in the 400 block of Eisenhower
requested the council not pave the
area, that section will be deleted
from the ordinance, the council de
cided.

Radiation basis
for veterans’ suit
IiIV
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Veterans who
claim they contracted cancer or
other illnesses from exposure to
radiation following the 1945 atomic
bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasa
ki, or 235 peacetime nuclear tests,
sued the federal government
Thursday.
The class action was filed in U.S.
District Court in Washington by
attorneys of the National Veterans
Law Center specifically on behalf of
seven former servicemen, two
widows of former servicemen and
two unofficial veterans organiza
tions.
The case is of interest also to an
estimated 250,000 military person
nel said to have participated in nuc
lear weapons tests between 1946 and
1962.
The court was asked to invalidate
rules and procedures set by the
Veterans Administration last year for
evaluating or accepting compensa
tion claims by veterans or survivors
for health problems or death caused
by service-connected radiation.

FBI used census as cover
United Press International
WASHINGTON - The FBI has
admitted that one of its agents pre
tended to be representing the Cen
sus Bureau in 1970 in order to gain
information on a Vermont man.
Jed Lowy, a Burlington, Vt.,
nurse practitioner, had alleged that
the FBI may have used a 1970 census
form filled out by his father to obtain
information about him.
A 1972 FBI document on Lowy,
released this year through the Free
dom of Information Act, provided
the basis of Lowy’s allegation. It con
tained the phrase “spot check for the
1970 census.”
News reports of Lowy’s allegation
prompted Dan Levine, deputy
director of the Bureau of the Census,
to ask the Justice Department to in
vestigate.
“The unexcised version reflects
that a pretext call was made ‘under
the auspices of a spot check for the
1970 census’ in order to identify the
driver of a certain automobile, ’ the
