Wanted: Texan with two horses
German princess seeks husband
United Press International
DALLAS—The “on the spot”
courtship of Princess Alexandra
von Anhalt, 52, of Germany has
begun.
Several sudden suitors held
audiences with the princess in
her $350-per-day suite at the
Fairmont Hotel late Tuesday af
ter she appeared on Dallas tele
vision and in newspaper stories
announcing her intent to marry
any suitable man.
She defined suitable as Tex
an, landowner and possessor of
at least two horses.
“He should have two, one for
him to ride and one for her,”
said Prince Jurgen Von Anhalt,
39, nephew of the princess. “My
aunt grew up on a farm and
rode horses often.”
He said she wanted to have
the wide open spaces to ride
again.
The princess — her full name
is Marie-Antoinette Elisabeth
Alexandra Irmgand Edd Char-
Ibtte Anhalt — arrived in Dallas
this week and is prepared to stay
as long as it takes to find her
husband, said the prince, who is
spokesman for his aunt.
The process began Tuesday,
with three Dallas area ranchers
lined up to undergo inspection
by the princess.
“They just come in, look at
each other, and it goes from
there,” the prince said. “She will
more or less make a decision on
the spot. My aunt is ready to get
married immediately. She will
know if he is the right man .”
The right man is a kind man,
he said. He does not have to be
handsome but he does have to

Pastor says cuts in budget
bring threat of urban riots
United Press International
DALLAS — A black Califor
nia minister said churches have
to do more than hold revival
meetings in order to bring eco
nomic revitalization to com
munities that have been
adversely affected by Reagano
mics.
The Rev. Cecil Williams, pas
tor of a San Francisco church
that ministers to inner-city street
Williams, pastor of Glide
Memorial United Methodist
Church, and the Rev. J. Alfred
Smith, pastor of Allen’s Temple
Baptist Church in Oakland,
Calif., were among the black
clergymen in Dallas Tuesday to
attend the seventh annual con
ference on Black Theology at
Perkins School of Theology at
Southern Methodist University.
Smith said President Reagan’s

better.
“She is a very, very nice
woman, a great housewife, not
bad looking, (and has) the very
best behavior,” he said. “She’s
writing a recipe book on Bava
rian specialties and she knows
how to handle cattle.”
The princess said she has
known since 1965 during her
first trip to the state she would
one day marry a Texan.
“I decided then I must leave
my husband (a German veter
inarian) and find a Texas ran
cher,” she said. “German hus
bands are not so nice to their
wives. Texas ranchers have lots
of land and they will let me go
out on the ranch and ride the
horses.”
Potential suitors interested in
her validity as a descendant of a
royal family will learn Germany
is a country with deep roots
which was once led by dozens of
titled aristocrats.
“In other words,” said John
Knops of the German consulate
in Houston, “there are hun
dreds of Germans who could
give themselves a prince or prin
cess title because they are de
scendants of those old families.”
United Press International
DALLAS — The Civil Aero
nautics Board is proceeding
with the “monumental task” of
investigating American Airlines
in an alleged corporate “dirty
tricks” campaign against rival
Braniff International.
American’s chief spokesman,
David Frailey, refused to com
ment on any aspect of the inves
tigation.
William H. Wentz, associate
general counsel of the CAB, said
in Washington, “The investiga
tion is continuing but there are
no results one way or the other.”
Braniff spokesman Sam
Coats said, “We have talked to
the CAB investigators and we
are continuing to cooperate with
them in their investigation.”
An airline industry source
said: “Don’t get too impatient
with the time the CAB is taking
with this. It’s a monumental task
to prove any of the allegations.”
Sources said American deli
berately or accidentally held in
its revenue accounting depart
ment some $9 million worth of
tickets issued on Braniff stock
for flights on American. The
tickets were then “dumped” on
the Airline Clearing House, the
sources said, creating an instant
cash flow crisis that forced Bra
niff to slash employee paychecks
in half to come up with the
money.
Another industry source said
Braniffs law firm in Washing
ton, D.C., was actively cooperat
ing with the CAB investigation,
assuring that the airline pro
duced “a considerable quantity
of information the CAB re
quested.”
Wentz declined to say when
the CAB would announce its
findings.
He also declined to reveal
how many investigators were
assigned to the case, in what area
the probe was centered, whether
investigators had contacted ex
ecutives of American Airlines
and whether the agency had
used its subpoena powers to
seize corporate records.
“I never reveal the mechanics
of any investigation,” Wentz
said. “If we determined there
were violations of the law, we
would allege that in (legal) en
forcement proceedings.”
The CAB investigation began
in early March several days be
fore the allegations became
public.
Other allegations are that:
American executives secretly
attempted to get Braniff credi
tors to “pull the plug” on the
financially ailing airline; that
American executives developed
“dirty tricks” sales and opera
tional tactics in an attempt to put
Braniff out of business; that
computerized flight availability
records were manipulated; and
that American pilots on taxiways
engaged in runway tactics that
delayed Braniff flights.
Braniff and American are en
gaged in a bitter air war for sur
vival. Both airlines are financial
ly troubled but Braniff is by far
the weaker of the two. Both air
lines are based in Dallas and
have major Dallas “hubs” de
signed as a buffer to competition
from smaller “point-to-pOint”
airlines.
