Battalion Reporter
The proposed Class of' ’83
gift is an “Aggie Eternal
Flame,” similar to the olym
piad torch. The flame would
pe used to light the bonfire,
the torches for yell practice,
and the candles at Muster.
h Two designs for the torch
are under consideration; a
straight pole with a bowl top,
or a granite pyramid with the
Texas A&M University
'emblem stamped on it.
Drawings of both designs

Dan Kardell, class gift com

that the proposal will be
accepted. “We want to give the
University a unique gift that
will be used and will become a
tradition,” he said.
The proposed site for the
eternal flame is near Kyle
Field, beside the statue of the
original twelfth man, E. King
Gill. The cost for the gift has
not been determined.
The gift will be paid for by
fundraisers, including the
Senior Ring Dance, Class of

Testimony: Hitman

United Press International
SAN ANTONIO — Accused
hitman Charles Harrelson said
he killed President Kennedy as
well as Federal Judge John H.
Wood Jr. and planned to use
that information to bargain with
the government, El Paso lawyer
Joe Chagra testified Tuesday.
Chagra said Harrelson in
sisted he really had killed Ken
nedy and even drew a map of
the area in Dallas where Ken
nedy was shot in 1963. Harrel
son also told him he hoped that
information could get him a life
sentence in a comfortable feder
al prison instead of the Texas
penitentiary.
“If he made a deal with the
government, he could clear up
the Kennedy matter as well as
clear up the Judge Wood mat
ter,” Chagra said.
Although Harrelson claimed
to have been cleared by a 1980
grand jury in Wood’s 1979
death, he said he still could
prove he killed Wood with an
ace in the hole — the murder
weapon itself.
Chagra said Harrelson prom
ised to take the entire blame for
Wood’s death and clear others
who were suspected in the case.
He also had a motive.
“He said his motive was that
when he was in Leavenworth
(federal prison), he saw many
young people sentenced to long
terms of years by Judge Wood.
He felt Judge Wood deserved to
die. That would explain his mo
tive for killing Judge Wood
without anybody hiring him.”
Joe Chagra had testified
Monday that Harrelson admit
ted he killed Wood, and boasted
of a clean shot.
“I asked him if he was the one
who had murdered Judge
Wood, and he said he was.”
Chagra also said he twice en
couraged his brother Jimmy to
kill Wood but learned only later

Haight said. “We are trying to
have a policy of producing any
script. If we have a lot, we can’t
produce them all at once so
we’ll take the best first.”
Haight said the committee is
not paying for scripts, but they
will provide a copy of the tape to
the writer.
“It’s a chance for that person
to see his work actually pro
duced and created,” he said.
“W’e’U use it for programming
on the MSC monitors.”
Response to the offer has
been moderate so far, Haight
said. The committee has had
calls from people who have
started scripts but the committee
has not received any completed
scripts.
“We’re not looking for the
great script because that’s prob
ably with a movie association,”
he said, “but most scripts have
some merit in them.”

United Press International
AMARILLO — A Depart
ment of Energy plant which
assembles the nation’s nuclear
weapons will experiment vv'ith a
one-armed robot next month in
what an engineer predicts may
be the first step in automated
bomb production.
The articulated arm is the
most advanced of its kind, com
plete with joints that simulate
the movement of the human
shoulder, elbow and wrist, said
Paul Smith, a project engineer at
the Pantex nuclear weapons
assembly plant.
“We’re still in the early stages
of development, but we’re ex
cited about the possibilities and
what’s on the horizon,” Smith
said.
Pantex engineers will design
hands for the robot that can
move, feel and grasp much like
human hands, he said.
Si.nith declined to identify the
specific jobs which robots may
be assigned to because of the
“confidential nature of the busi
ness.”
However, he said robots
could perform chores such as
taking a die from a press and
placing it in another machine or
using X-rays to search for cracks
in bomb parts. Robots may also
be used in areas of the plant
where radiation and other work
hazards exist.
Smith said the experimental
robot will have to prove its
worthiness both in cost and per
formance. The robot will have to
increase safety or cut expenses
before additional robots will be
purchased.
Industrial robots can cost as
much as $150,000 each, he said,
adding that extra parts, such as
sensors and custom-made
hands, will add to the cost.

that Jimmy had hired Harrelson
for the job.
The plot was hatched April 2,
1979, as the brothers were still
sitting at the defense table in
Wood’s empty courtroom in
Midland — angry that Wood
had refused to step down in Jim
my Chagra’s upcoming drug
smuggling trial, Joe Chagra
said.
Wood was shot the day Jimmy
Chagra had originally been
scheduled for trial in his court.
Harrelson, convicted in
another murder-for-hire case,
has been accused of killing
Wood for $250,000 from Jim
my Chagra. Joe Chagra, 36, was
charged with conspiracy but
pleaded guilty in September
and agreed to testify against
Harrelson.
