PUC asked to halve Bell rate request
United Press International
AUSTIN — The Public Util
ity Commission’s hearing ex
aminers have recommended a
statewide telephone rate in
crease of only about half the
$469.8 million Southwestern
Bell had requested — but the
telephone company has still
gained an important victory.
The PUC hearing examiners
recommended Monday that the
telephone company he allowed
to raise its rates by $243.7 mil
lion, and to implement the ex
perimental “local measured ser
vice” charge for local calls on
the basis of time and distance.
The commission will meet
Dec. 10 to decide if it will
accept hearing examiner Bob
Gillespie’s recommendations.
Bell has previously indicated
in documents filed with the
PUC it may seek in the future to
base all local telephone charges
on the time talked and distance
called.
Gillespie said implementa
tion of the local measured ser
vice on an experimental basis
will give Bell the opportunity to
collect data supporting its ex
pansion, but also will give oppo
nents of the plan a chance to
collect information proving it is
not feasible.
“I would expect it to lose
money,’’ Gillespie said of the
local measured service experi
ment.
“The commission has allowed
experiments in the past, found
they didn’t work, and abolished
them the next year.”
Bell had proposed that cus
tomers desiring to participate in
the local measured service
program not be charged for
switching to that service, and
their bills not be allowed to go
nigher than $5 above the pre
sent flat-rate monthly charge.
But Gillespie recommended
customers choosing the ex
perimental program be asses
sed a charge for switching to it
with no ceiling set on their costs
under the time-and-distance
billing formula.
The telephone company on
Oct. 20 implemented a rate in
crease of $246.9 million —
slightly more than that recom
mended by the hearing examin
ers. If the PUC approves the
examiners’ proposals. Bell will
be required to refund 60 cents
per month to most residential
customers.
“I think the recommendation
is fair, given the increases in
cost we all are experiencing,”
said hearing examiner Carolyn
Shellman.
The recommendation also
calls for a 10 percent increase in
charges for intrastate long dis
tance calls, even though Bell
did not seek any increase in the
long distance charges. The 10
percent increase in long dis
tance rates would generate
almost $80 million annually in
revenue for Bell.
Victory is sweet
in coc(o)a case
United Press International
DALLAS — Arley Thomas Jr. s
victory was sweet and he owes it
all to the letter of the law.
A typographical error in an in
dictment that was intended to
charge Thomas with possession of
cocaine, a derivative of “coca,”
actually charged him with posses
sing a derivative of “cocoa. ”
State District Judge Jack
Hampton said Monday he had no
choice but to acquit Thomas.
“I can’t send a guy to the pen for
possession of chocolate, can I?”
Hampton asked. “It (the indict-

have been there, hut it changed
the meaning of the whole thing.”
Judge Hampton quickly acquit
ted Thomas after a chemist testi
fied the cocaine confiscated from
Thomas’ apartment was not de-’ I
rived from cocoa — the substance
cited in the indictment.
Defense attorney James M.
Murphy said he noticed the faultyj
wording while researching'
another chemistry-oriented de
fense strategy.
“I had read (the indictment) be
fore, and I thought something was
wrong with it, but it just didn’t
click, Murphy said. He said be
was both surprised and relieved
when he spotted the extra ‘o’ in
coca.
“Our law places a burden on the
state to dot all the i s and cross all
the t’s, and if you don’t do it, you
can’t deprive a person of his free
dom,” he said.
Thomas still faces a second
cocaine charge resulting from
another arrest.

helpful hint
United Press International
HOUSTON — Trial lawyer
Percy Foreman says police are'
never around when they’re
needed, but he has a suggestion
for attracting one’s attention.
“Just wave a shovel in the air
and you get 14 of them, he said
Monday.
One of his clients, Francis Eric
Lindon, did exactly that.
A helicopter was buzzing
around Lindon s house Sunday
and he wanted it to buzz off. He
said he tried waving at it to gq
away, but when that didn t work,
he picked up a shovel and pointed
it at the chopper.
The helicopter went away, but
soon afterward eight police ear.*
carrying 14 officers pulled up and
arrested Lindon for making
obscene gestures at the chopper)
which turned out to be a police;
helicopter looking for a pair of sky
divers.
The charge against Lindon say;
he “did raise his right arm anti
make a fist and clasp his righ
bicep with his left hand in a man
ner tending to incite an immediate
breach of the peace. ”
About the charge, Foremai
said: “If you de> anything that re
fleets em a police officer, they al
take it as personal.
“The only fun I ever get in life i:
in trying a case. I’m going to enjen
cross-examining whoever is re
sponsible lor sending eight police ;
cars and 14 officers out there h |
arrest this fellow for pointing ; ]
shovel at a helicopter.”

LORAIN, Ohio — Bessie Stet

she did it, but she fought off i

flashlight.
“I’m black and blue all over bu
I bet he is too, because I hit bin
good with that flashlight,” the re
tired nurse said. “He hit me and
hit him. I didn’t even know I coulc
fight but I guess when you’rt
afraid, you find out.
Stetzel told police the burgla
tried “to put a dagger in nr
heart. A scuffle followed, durinj
which she grabbed a flashlight am
started hitting him on the heac
with it, police said.
The attacker grabbed the flash
light hut not before Stetzel man
aged to shove him out the door
authorities said.
A short time later, police de
tained n 14-year-old Lorain youtl
