Braniff and Pan Am talk
f possible joint operation
United Press International
DALLAS — Attorneys for
American Airways and
Bankrupt Braniff International
lirlines are discussing the possi-
lility of joint operations, a Bra-
liiff vice president says.
“Our lawyers are talking ab-
[But a means of allowing some
ortion of Braniff to combine
iperations in terms of joint
perations with Pan American,”
raniff vice president Sam
oats said in a television inter-
iew Tuesday.
“We want to bring some
Irderout of this chaos,” he said.
I It was the first hint of any
lossible Braniff reorganization,
by David Fuli| but Coats warned former Bra-

“It’s extremely important for
me to emphasize to our em
ployees not to revive any false
hopes,” Coats said. “The obsta
cles to overcome in this type of
operation are great.”
Braniffs former employees
have already been through a

great deal and have begun to re
build their lives and start new
jobs, Coats said.
He said he could offer no
numbers on how many people
might be rehired.
“The reason we took Chapter
11 bankruptcy instead of Chap
ter 7 was to maintain the assets
of our company and to resume
some type of operation,” Coats
said.
Some financially strapped
former Braniff employees said
Tuesday they are planning a
public auction to sell $ 1 million
of their belongings, including
cars, trucks, motor homes,
planes, businesses and country
club memberships.
The auction and an accom
panying trade day scheduled
June 12 was the brainchild of
several Dallas-area people
thrown out of work when the
airline ceased operations last
month. They are working with
an auction company that plans
to promote the sale nationwide.
“This is a chance for people to
help out Braniff employees dur
ing this difficult adjustment
period and get some good deals
for themselves,” said Larry Up
shaw, former director of publi
cations for the airline.
More than 2,000 former Bra
niff employees and other unem
ployed workers flooded a hotel
ballroom Tuesday in the first
three hours of a job fair spon
sored by a mayor’s task force.
The Federal Aviation Admi
nistration, seeking up to 600 air
traffic controllers, had a booth,
as did E-Systems, a Dallas-based
developer of computer and elec
tronic systems. The company
was searching for people to go to
the Sinai Desert to provide food,
recreational and maintenance
support for troops engaged in
peacekeeping efforts.
The fair continued today and
a similar job hunt is scheduled
for June 10 in Fort Worth.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. —
Wayne Cryts, who spent a
month in jail because he would
not incriminate his friends, says
he’ll stand by that principle,
even if it means losing his 2,000-
acre farm.
The Puxico, Mo., farmer was
freed Tuesday after spending a
month in jail in Russellville,
Ark., for refusing to tell a feder
al bankruptcyjudge who helped
him take 33,000 bushels of soy
beans from a bankrupt grain
elevator.
Bankruptcy Judge Charles
Baker in Little Rock freed Cryts,
35, after closing the record on
contempt hearings against
Cryts, his wife and father and
two other farmers.
Cryts said if Baker decides to
fine him for contempt, the trus
tee for the bankrupt James Bros,
of Corning, Ark., might have to
foreclose on the Cryts’ farm to
collect the $226,000 fine.
In February 1981, Cryts and
other farmers removed the
beans, which he claimed were
his, from a James Bros, elevator
in Ristine, Mo., and took them to
an elevator in Bernie, Mo.
There Baker ordered them im
pounded while the James Bros,
case was being resolved, but
Cryts defied the judge and again
moved the beans last summer.
Now that Baker has closed the
record on the proceedings, he
must issue an order in the con
tempt case. That order could
simply note that Cryts and the
others were in contempt or
could order them to pay a fine
equal to the market value of the
purloined grain, plus the added
expenses caused by the con
tempt proceedings.

Star Trek If: The Wrath of

better than the first, with a more

of the TV episodes — “Space

Chinese Connection: A few
hints about this movie; it’s about
Chinese people and the connec

Fist of Fury: About a fist who’s
mad as hell? Your guess is as
good as mine, but it’s probably
another guaranteed Kung-Fu
thriller. R.
Abs
isence of Malice: Sally Field
plays a hip investigative reporter
for a Miami daily paper who
writes an erroneous front page
story that ruins the life a busi
nessman, played by Paul New

institutions involved. Don’t ex
pect a good movie unless you’re
willing to pay for it. R.
Only When I Laugh: Starring
Marsha Mason and Kristy
McNichol. Mason plays an ac

custody of her daughter, and
the film follows their attempts to

R ocky III: Sylvester Stallone
stars as everyone’s favorite, box
er, Rocky. In this feature, Rocky
is rich and fights to stay that way
and along with savoring his
pride. Starring the same old
characters from the past two
Rocky films. PG.
Conan The Barbarian: A vio
lent movie starring Arnold
Schwarzenegger as the big
meanie hulk and a voluptous
blond as his sidekick. R.
Bambie: The Walt Disney clas
sic about an orphaned fawn who
is adopted by other animals in
the forest and learns he has to
grow up fast. Thumper, the
bunny, co-stars. G.
If You Could See What I Hear:
The story about a blind man’s
troublesome rise to fame as a
musical performer. Maybe if we
could hear what he sees, the
movie would be a little more
bearable. PG.
On Golden Pond: Henry Fon
da and Katharine Hepburn give
Oscar-winning performances as
an elderly couple coming to
grips with old age. PG.
Raiders of the Lost Ark: Still
hanging on or around or what
ever. Until a sequel is created, it
looks like we’ll be stuck with this
adventure-cliff-hanger movie
forever. PG.

Two Kerrville festivals
open for fun this weekend
by Colette Hutchings
Battalion Staff
You just got in town and already
there’s something to do out of town.
Kerrville is presenting its two tra
ditional festivals which will continue
this weekend to make it really seem
like the good ol’ summertime.
•The first festival, the Arts and
Crafts Festival, is located on the
Schreiner College campus in town
right on the main street in Kerrville.
This 11th annual arts and crafts fair
will continue through the weekend.
Visitors will be treated to stage
shows and a county fair atmosphere,
as well as a wide variety of arts and
crafts housed under huge striped
tents.
Music will include jazz, classical
numbers and pop. Juggling and
balancing acts, magicians am
clowns — including Punch andjudy
— will wander the fairgrounds pro
viding entertainment.
Free parking, shuttle bus and an
interesting pioneer village will also
be available.
Hours for the fair are 10 a.m. to 7
p.m. except the last day (Sunday)
when the fair shuts down at 5 p.m.
Another festival in Kerrville, in
conjunction with the arts and crafts
fair Friday, is the Kerrville Folk Fes
tival, which will also continue Satur

tures a major six-hour concert be
ginning at 6 p.m. festival nights at
Rod Kennedy’s fifty-acre Quiet Val

In the past, fans have come to
listen to the musicians from a dozen
foreign countries and more than
160 cities in 40 states, as well as from
every city and town in Texas.
Folk Festival hours are generally
11 a.m. to midnight.
