Anderson issued a statement from Roswell, N.M., were he heads the Diamond A. Cattle Co., saying he was withdrawing from the proposed deal because of the controversy surrounding it and the fact the mineral values given the University of Texas would ex ceed the value of the surface land involved. Texas officials have been trying for the past two years to acquire the land owned by the Atlantic Richfield Co. chairman. Gov. Bill Clements, a longtime friend of Anderson, became involved in the negotiations this year and re portedly had worked out the ten tative land exchange deal. UT officials were not enthused by the proposed deal but the Texas Legislature had passed a re solution urging the regents to “consider" the trade under which UT would retain mineral rights to the land it traded away as well as to Anderson’s ranch. In his statement, Anderson said he appreciated the efforts of Cle ments and many others “to ac quire this unique property for pre-. sent and future generations of the state of Texas.’ “I have felt from the outset that the proposed exchange was not only extremely favorable to the state of Texas but the mineral values to be conveyed to the Uni versity of Texas exceeded the value of the surface land involved in the exchange,” his statement said. “Unfortunately, the controver sy that has been stirred up not only clouds the true merits of the transaction hut clearly makes it in advisable for us to continue dis cussions. House Speaker Bill Clayton said he had heard reports of possi ble gas exploration on Anderson’s ranch. “I heard there was a little gas play down there now,” he said. Summer sign up now! B/Y.O.

Ridleys endangered Turtles get new home United Press International PORT ARANSAS — Marine scientists gave about 1,500 Ridley sea turtles a plane ride and a new home in an effort to encourage the endangered creatures ter adopt new spawning grounds on the Texas Gulf Coast. The Ridleys, the most en dangered species of sea turtles in the world, were released along a 20-mile stretch, five miles offshore from Port Aransas Tues day, shortly after arriving from Galveston on an airplane. Scientists hope the 1-year-old Ridleys, brought to Galveston last summer from a Gulf Coast beach in Mexico, will adopt new spawn ing grounds on 'the beaches of Padre Island. The turtles had grown to a length of about 8-10 inches during their year of captivity from the size of a silver dollar at birth. For the next 30 days, scientists will monitor the turtles’ dispersal patterns with small radio transmit ters which were attached to ten of the Ridleys, said Jim Woods, a biologist at the Padre Island Na tional Seashore. Tuesday’s release was the third in the last three years for the Rid leys, as marine scientists attempt to “imprint into the turtles’ biolo gical system the desire to return to Padre Island beaches to spawn. The Ridleys’ natural spawing ground, discovered by accident in 1948, is at Rancho Nueveo, Mex ico. But many Ridleys, whose meat is prized and believed by some to be a powerful aphrodisiac, have been slaughtered in Mexio in the last 30 years, scientists say.
