hurch leader pleased
Denomination formed
United Press International
)ALLAS — The southern Pre-
terian leader whose 46-year
tpaign led to the formation of
new Presbyterian Church in
United States of America has
■egrets about the dissolution of
native denomination.
With the campaign to unite
ern and southern Presbyte-
ps at a successful end, there is
nostalgia today when the Rev.
Anderson of Dallas recalls
day he laid the former Pre-
terian Church in the United
tes, ofwhich he was a minister,
st.
On July lOin Atlanta, in unison
his northern counterpart,
Anderson told tens of thousands of
the faithful, "We now declare the
Presbyterian Church in the Un
ited States of America to be in ex
istence.
The historic prouncement
marked the end of Anderson’s
church and that of some 838,000
other members of the PCUS,
formed during the Civil War years
in a rift with the rest of the Pre
sbyterian church in North
America.
T’ve really resented being in
the confederate church,” Ander
son, 63, said recently. “The old
had to die in order for the new to
During its existence, PCUS
congregations filled the South-
east, extending to Maryland,
Texas and Kansas. For much of
this century the church stressed
overseas evangelism and ecumen
ism and maintained close ties with
northern Presbyterians.
Anderson’s work and travels as
the last leader of the PCUS further
convinced him it was time to turn
out the lights on regional Pre
sbyterianism.
He notes that the northern and
southern Presbyterian churches
were duplicating many of each
others efforts, and that both chur
ches held the same “general ’
theological positions.
His emotions at the passing of
the church were dominated as
much by excitement at the end of a
122-year-old family feud as by re
lief at the completion of most of his
administrative chores.
Anderson still has a five-year
obligation to attend meetings with
other church officials on a gov
erning body of the newly-formed
PC US A.
T think we have some tradi
tions we have to guard, but I like
the Latin phrase we have, The
church reformed, yet ever being
reformed. You never let the ce
ment harden.”

UNAWAY BAY — Golfing
guessing have become the
Bmary diversions in this small
fit central Texas community.
Residents arc celebrating the
npletion this week of a new
ihead water tower and Mayor
/Ratlifhas launched it contest
publicize the town's step) for-
rd.
Because the water tower is on
town s 18-hole golf course and
kped and painted like a golf
and ball, Ratlif devised an
appropriate contest.
“I went to the engineering de-
purtment of Southern Methodist
University (in Dallas) and they fi
gured out how many standard golf
halls 1.75 inches in diameter it will
take to fill the giant golf hall tank,"
said Ratlif, who also runs a busi
ness in the Dallas suburb of
Addison.
"I will give you a hint — it is in
the millions, he said. “Anyone
who can guess the right answer or
come close to it will win a free
weekend for two at an Addison
hotel, all expenses paid.
The contest ends Sept. 21, and
the winner will be announced
Sept. 23 at a dedication ceremony
for the water tank.
The 30-foot tank atop the tower
holds 100,000 gallons of water.
The $300,000 structure was
built after 96 percent of the 700
residents of the town approved a
bond issue.

Oilman’s son joins
race for Senate seat
United Press International
HOUSTON — The 32-year-old
son of a prominent Republican
Texas oilman has joined tht^grow-
ing number of candidates in hot
pursuit of John Tower’s Senate
seat.
Robert A. Mosbacher Jr., vice
president for administration of
Mosbacher Production Co.,
Wednesday announced his candi
dacy. He said he will reach out to
“the public sector and private en
terprise, Republicans, Democrats
and independents, blacks, whites
and hispanics, men and women,
old and young, native and new
comer.”
Already in the running for the
seat is Rep. Ron Paul, R-Lake
Jackson. Another potential con
tender, Rep. Phil Gramm, R-
College Station, said Wednesday
he will disclose his plans next
week, but added that polls show
him as a leading contender for the
job. Gramm, who has formed a
37-member exploratory finance
committee, is widely expected to
run for the seat.
Mosbacher now serves on Pres
ident Reagan’s “Advisory Com
mittee on Private Sector Initia
tives” and previously worked as an
aide to Sen. Howard Baker, R-
Tenn. Mosbacher’s father, Robert
Mosbacher Sr., was finance chair
man for President’s Ford’s cam
paign.
Texas marijuana law
found unconstitutional
United Press International
AUSTIN — A 1981 law drama
tically hiking penalties for posses
sion of marijuana has been de
clared unconstitutional by a Texas
appeals court.
The ruling Wednesday by the
Texas Court of Criminal Appeals
upholds a 1982 lower court deci
sion which found that the caption
on the legislative bill creating the
law was too vague and misleading.
But the effect of the appeals court
decision is unknown because a re
vised version of the law was passed
by the legislature in an attempt to
resolve the lower court’s com
plaints.
The revised version of the anti-
crime legislation has not yet been
tested in the courts.
Both court rulings came in a
Fayette County case in which four
men were charged with posses
sing more than 2,000 pounds of
marijuana. While the appeals
court found the law unconstitu
tional, it did not dismiss the
charges against the men because
the older drug law with lesser
penalties still applied.
The four challenged that ruling
in their appeal to the higher court.
A majority opinion by the court
of criminal appeals found that
although the new law is unconsti
tutional, it does not preclude en
forcement of the old law. A trial
against the men must continue
under penalties and provisions of
the old law, the appellate court
said.
