Kerber said Monday his deci- d lion to deny the Klan a parade Jajj *™it is “based strictly on the location they wanted to march in.” The parade route would have put Klansmen and native-born U.S. fishermen in clear view of Vietnamese businesses and resi dences. “I felt they (the Vietnamese) would have been a captive audi ence,” Kerber said. “I don’t want to allow the Klan to violate the iniuction (issued by a federal judge).” Last year, U.S. District Judge Gabrielle McDonald issued an injuction halting violence and intimidation against Vietnamese fishermen. Klan Imperial Wizard James Stanfield and fishermen Eugene Fisher, recently elected Grand Dragon of the White Camillas, another KKK organization, re quested the permit for a four- hour march June 12 in memory of Seadrift fisherman Billy Toe Aplin. The two Vietnamese brothers indicted on murder charges were later acquitted on grounds of self-defense in the shooting death of Aplin. eachers ask more money, less talk United Press International AUSTIN — Educators are told Gartft arni j 8 that teaching will be p to Sun.i iewef t as a laughable profes- 1 Gardai ‘ on w ‘ t ^ 1 * ow an< ^ excess ‘ ve ) he wail ia P erwor ^ until the Legislature irovides money instead of rhe- oric. , A special legislative commit- lenEll %e formed to study the teacher ihortage and recommend solu- ions Monday heard educators clear on. ft in carrying i Border! flashing! id theci ■ in thevi ng ahei rrnedtO 1 also anti Elite sperm bank announces April birth of first child 1 ret were Holland it connd 1 ; belief er estiitf board t$ .1 eduB* 'e to rtf give visions, veral ret board, ited Iasi Irug-snd .ry urini ius were suggest i. logs "'a i: »f legal I studt ir,t have uflf iractice. jy still mpli cal i Suite®* ts that a* 51 M, h an i® a&mo udentt* drug F; ts, bui 1 ;eds bilitati® 1 " those tousedf i if you" ^ur^e) ,i, >5 yoU l^ hit ercent United Press International ESCONDIDO, Calif. — An ixclusive sperm bank for Nobel Vize-winnerS announced the lirth of its first child — a heal- hy, 9-pound girl fathered by a man identified only as an “emi nent mathematician.” The Repository for Germinal Choice, set up two years ago to bake available the sperm of Nobel Prize-winners and other 'creative and intelligent peo ple,” disclosed Monday the girl was born last month. A spokesman for the sperm bank would identify the father only as a university professor, “an eminent mathematician,” in his 30s.

June L. Carp, legislative dire ctor for the Texas Federation of Teachers, said the committee’s first goal should be to ensure enactment of recommendations already made — such as higher pay, upgraded health insurance, tax-sheltered annuities and other benfits for teachers. “We propose that you recom mend money instead of rhetor ic,” Carp said. “Fund benefits, fund a decent living wage, fund safety on the job — and then you can offer a high school student a good career in teaching. Right now, students consider it a laughable one.” United Press International LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Jack “Treetop” Strauss, a tall Texan who has played poker since col legiate days, leads & field of nine ofthe world’s best poker players today in a contest of no-limit Hold’em with more than $1 mil lion on the table. Strauss walked away from the table at Binion’s Horseshoe Club at the conclusion of play Mon day night with $341,500 — more than double the $133,000 pot held by AJ. Meyers of Beverly Hills, Calif., the nearest threat. Myers led Strauss by nearly $7,000 going into Monday’s third round, but by the dinner hour he had dropped behind. The 6-foot-6 Strauss stroked his mustache for luck, glared at the closest challengers after din ner and proceeded to run $205,000 up to $341,500 by the finish of the third round. Since play started Saturday in the high-stakes Hold’em game, 95 gamblers have been knocked out including 1981 and 1980 de fending champion Stu Ungar. It cost each gambler $10,000 to buy into the game. Although it is the 13th year for the annual event, organizers decided to call this year’s event the 1982 World Series of Poker because of an uneasy and super stitious feeling about the un lucky number 13. Next year’s competition will be called the 14th Annual World Series of Poker. Professional gambler Dewey Tomko, once a kindergarten teacher in Haines City, Fla., finished the round in third place with $116,500.. Barry Johnston of Oklahoma City was not far behind with $115,000 followed by Dody Roach of Corpus Christi with $114,000. Doyle “Texas Dolly” Brunson of Sweetwater goes into today’s competition with $87,000. He had $105,000 in chips after the dinner break Monday night but dropped rapidly. The 1982 no-limit Hold’em, the final event in the World Series of Poker which began April 23, carries the richest first- prize in the history of the Horseshoe Club tournament — $520,000. Second place is worth $208,000, third $104,000, fourth and fifth $52,000 each, sixth $41,000 and seven, eighth and ninth place finishers will get $20,800 each. WE BUY BOOKS EVERYDAY!

William B. Shockley, the Nobel physics winner in 1956, said he contributed to the sperm ,bank. The sperm bank was housed in a guarded converted pump house on Graham’s 10-acre estate in northern San Diego County. The New York Post reported Monday the girl was born April 21 in Chicago to a mother who belongs to MENS A, a national association of people with high measurable intelligence quo tients. The Repository for Germinal Choice originally carried the name of geneticist Hermann J. Muller, who won the Nobel Prize in 1946 and died in 1967, but Muller’s widow objected. When Graham announced the sperm bank founding in April 1980 “to increase, in a civilized way, the number of offspring of our Nobelists in sci ence,” he said three East Coast women had been artificially in seminated, but he had no idea if any of them were pregnant. “There is no parallel with Hit ler,” Graham said when he founded the sperm bank. “We’re not interested in a super race or an elite. We are thinking in terms of a few more intelli gent, useful people who other wise would not be born.” INTRODUCING TWO NEW SPECIALTIES OF THE HOUSE MONTEREY $Q QK TACO SALAD Spicy ground beef, pinto beans, chile con queso, tortilla chips, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and jalapeno peppers.

The answer in a word: Experience. Olivetti introduced the world's first desk-top computer in 1965. Since then, we've continued to market a variety of minicomputers and microcomputers to a wide range of users. The new M20 has the latest technological advances, like our true 16-bit microprocessor. And the results? Well, check the comparison chart for yourself: In price- performance and feature benefits, Olivetti's M20 has more capability across the board than the Xerox 820, the IBM Personal Computer and—hold on to your disks—the Apple HI. In fact, dollar for dollar, the M20 is the most powerful personal computer on the market. It can handle just about any application—electronic spread sheets, accounting, word processing, data entry, communications, scientific, technical...in fact, everything to make you more productive. And the M20's memory capacity—512K bytes—makes the Apple Hi's memory look pretty unmemorable. Of course, Olivetti offers a complete line of printers. And if you already own an Olivetti electronic typewriter, you already have a printer compatible with the M20.

You don't need programming experience. The M20 teaches you all about itself. One step at a time. And you needn't wade through a sea of complicated com puter printouts. The M20 allows you to visualize the most complex information in high-resolution graphics—even color. Its programming language is Microsoft BASIC version 5.2. Universally known, easy to learn and use, it also ensures com patibility with a wide range of existing application programs. Olivetti has developed its own disk-based operating system (PCOS—Professional Computer Operating Sys tem) which fully exploits the full potential of the M20. PCOS monitors and manages the system, catalogues and executes command procedures, executes util ity programs, calls assembler routines, pro vides a constant HELP function, protects data and programs via passwords and provides a line- and full-screen editor. Our CP/M® option can give you access to the expanding world of CP/M software. © mz Olivetti Corporation Olivetti's extensive sales and service network includes locations' in every state.
