Rather than order more busing, U.S. District Judge Barefoot San ders ordered the Dallas Indepen dent School District, the NAACP and the various intervenors in the 11-year-old case to submit briefs on how the district’s schools can be improved. Al Lipscomb, a black activist and one of the original plaintiffs, expressed his disapproval soon af ter the ruling came down. “We’re just back again, dragging our feet,’’ he said.

OPEN Monday through Friday 10:45 AM-1:45 PM QUALITY FIRST Linus Wright said: “I feel very good about it. I think the judge has been very compassionate in addressing all the district’s needs.” Wright said parents and chil dren of all races should be relieved no further busing was ordered. The case dates from 1970 when Eddie Mitchell Tasby, the NAACP and others filed a suit against the school district to end one-race schools. A number of minor rulings, additional motions, appeals, intervenors and even a new judge have kept the case in court for more than a decade. Before Sanders, Judge William Taylor Jr. had managed the case. But March 13 the NAACP asked Taylor to “rescue himself’ by re moving himself from the case be cause of his connections “in Dal las’ business community.” The NAACP motion claimed that Taylor’s “past conduct raised sufficient concern that neither we nor the public could be assured that this court could rule impar tially on matters still in dispute and conflict in this case.” When the motion was first filed officials of the district called it a stalling tactic, but March 20 Taylor removed himself from the case and Sanders took over. The NAACP and others appealed a desegregation plan Taylor had approved in 1976. They charged that the feasibility of busing as a tool to eliminate one- race schools had not been studied. In 1978 the circuit court agreed with them. Sanders’ decision eli minates only the most controver sial technique: busing. In the 100-page ruling he re viewed the testimony and found busing “is not a feasible remedy for the existing constitutional violation.” Throughout his opin ion Sanders referred to the Black Coalition to Maximize Education whose minority membership opposes busing. Drinkers could be ali V( longer than abstainer United Press International WASHINGTON — A 10-year study of more than 8,000 people in California found those who had two or less drinks a day had lower death rates than abstainers. But the death rate was significantly higher for those who had six or more drinks of alcohol a day. “For most of the American adult population, which already uses no more than two drinks per day, the current evidence is reassuring,” said Dr. Arthur L. Klatsky and colleagues of the Kaiser- Permanente Medical Center at Oakland, Calif. The findings, reported in the August issue of the magazine Archives of Internal Medicine re leased Monday, reinforce other research indicat ing moderate alcohol consumption may have a protective effect against heart disease. The researchers warned, however, the dangers of substantial alcohol consumption are obvious. “Is it safer to take small amounts of alcohol than to abstain entirely?” they asked. "The answer is clearly ‘no’ for a person who may not be able to control his or her drinking. ” Four groups of people enrolled in the Kaiser- Permanente health plan were examined-^ who did not drink, those who had twoji drinks a day, those who had three tofivei daily and those reporting six or moredrinbj The study was designed so that age, race.sj smoking habits would not influence the ra The two-a-day-or-less drinkers had theh mortality rate.

Police say Robert Harris and other members of Sigma Pi frater nity hooked up the 20-gallon keg Sunday to a carbon dioxide cylin der designed for soft-drink dis pensers. The cylinder was pressurized at 75 pounds per square inch but the keg was designed for only 12 pounds pressure and it exploded like a rocket, embedding itself in the ceiling of the fraternity house at the University of California at Long Beach.

Brady, 40, in his 18th week of hospitalization since being shot in the forehead March 30 during the assassination attempt on Presi dent Reagan, was resting Tuesday with the help of greater doses of anti-seizure medication. Monday morning just after breakfast, Brady was shaken by a grand mal seizure, characterized by often violent, uncontrollable muscle twitching and thrashing. Such seizures are commonly regarded as symptomatic of epilepsy, but a doctor told UPI it did not necessarily mean Brady was epileptic. Such a seizure could be the result of a “brain scar” or injury to the brain similar to Brady’s. The White House press secret ary has undergone three life saving operations, including emergency surgery the day of the shooting in which 20 percent of the right side of his brain was re moved.
