Murph, who in March unsuccessfully tried to obtain custody of the Daniels’ sons, valued Mrs. Daniel’s half of community property accumulated in 4.5 years of marriage at $15,000. The estate matter is in Liberty probate court. Murph said: “We will do what we have to do in dealing with Vick ie.” But Mrs. Daniel sounded a conciliatory note in the minutes after the verdict. “If I could say anything it would be that I love all the Daniels very much, and if I had been in their shoes I would have done the same thing. They did their very best,” she said. Murph discounted Mrs. Daniel’s remarks. “She also said she loved Price, and look what she did to him,” she said. i An angry former law partner of ENGINEERS... explore career opportunities with Badische Corporation Badische Corporation produces chemicals (at Freeport, Texas) and fibers and yarns (at Anderson, South Carolina and Williamsburg, Virginia).

One problem that occurred is some people came from universities 2,000 miles away, he said, and only had five minutes to talk. United Press International DALLAS — A portion of Amer ican Telephone and Telegraph Co. ’s desire to increase telephone bills nationwide is to collect more than $114,000 to buy member ships in civic and business clubs for managers and executives. The 26 memberships include $16,000 for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, $13,500 for the New York Chamber of Commerce and Industry and $12,500 to the Asso ciates of the Harvard Business School. Southwestern Bell spokesman Dale Johnson said the list supplied to UPI was a representative sam ple of proposed expenditures that AT&T has either passed on to tele phone customers or is seeking permission to again pass on. AT&T, the largest corporation in the world, already has paid for the memberships outlined in the list and is seeking authority from regulatory agencies to continue making such payments. AT&T has total assets of $119 billion and 80 percent of the domestic telephone market. The $114,300 in club member ships is reflected as part of $56.3 million which Bell is asking the Texas Public Utility Commission to include in higher rates. It is a budget estimate of future expend itures; such Bell spending in past years is reflected in past and pend ing rate increase cases. “The organizations are selected on the basis of recommendations from executives and business,” Johnson said. “People in the public relations department screen the recom mendations to see if the groups are generally recognized within the community and whether they are participated in by other busines ses and facets of the community. There is an annual review by a group of AT&T executives.” Nationwide, AT&T also is asking customers to pay $24,30 for portraits of AT&T executes and $30,000 for their businessfrn- ners. AT&T also is requding $75,000 to defend the contJver- sial expenses from customeFritic- ism, contending the costof ex plaining and defending coirover- sial expenses before rqulatory panels is a legitimate bu«ess ex pense. AT&T last year chared South western Bell, one of s 24 sub sidiaries, $49 million or various licensed contract serves — $38.4 million of which was>assed on to telephone customer.'Bot if Bell is successful in its $69.8 million rate increase pend‘g before the PUC, that charge 'ould increase to $56.3 million foTexas custom ers. The Texas prtion of the na tional AT&T bills approximately 6 percent and eaA subsidiary pays a pro-rated shse of AT&T’s ex penses. Also include in the club mem berships obtmed by UPI is $10,000 for thf American Council on Education, $6,000 for the Duke UnivesityGraduate School of Business Administration, $5,500 for the Better Business Bureau ot Meropolitan New York, $5,500 fo the Downtown Lower Manhatm Association, $5,000 for the Aierican Academy of Achievement $5,000 for Un ited Way of Arrrica and $3,500 for the Busines.Council. AT&T also pays smaller amounts for meiberships in the National Mincity Purchasing Council, the Instute for Contem porary Studiesjhe Metropolitan Museum of ArtCouncil for Adv ancement and apport of Educa tion, Nationa Association of Women Businss Owners, Na tional Informatn Bureau and Na tional Council f Jewish Women. Supported t higher telephone bills, AT&T also buys member ships in the American Federation of the Arts, Citizens Budget Com mission, National Audubon Socie ty, U.S. International Council of Government Business Coopera tion, WNET, New York Board of Trade, Museum of the American Indian and Plain Talk. Johnson said the groups must be judged worthy from a business, cultural or government perspec tive. He said telephone customers benefit from the memberships be cause cooperative relationships are formed from the contacts be tween Bell executives and group leaders. “As a responsible part of the community, the telephone com pany has an obligation to be in volved in the community,” John son said. “These are a relatively small amount of expenditures and really do not materially affect a person’s telephone bill. ” Customers who do not like paying higher telephone bills for such expenses have eventual re course, Johnso said, because they can challenge the expenditures before state regulatory bodies.

He was the nice guy in the family. What an injustice.” Zimmerman said the paternal grandparents, former Texas Gov. Price Daniel Sr. and his wife Jean, had agreed this week to allow Mrs. Daniel to keep her boys Friday night even though it was their day to have them.
