Page a/me battalion/Thursday, December 1,1983 Inmate wants jail wedding United press International AMARILLO — Condemned killer Charles Rumbaugh may want to get married but Potter County Jimmy Don Boydston said the ceremony will not take plate in his jail. Rumbaugh, subpoenaed with three other convicts as defense witnesses in a trial beginning next week i n Amarillo, was sche duled to be transferred from the state prison i n Huntsville to the Potter County Jail this weekend. Rumbaugh was sentenced to death for the 1975 murder and robbery of an Amarillo jeweler. DJ. Stubben, who wrote a book on Rumbaugh, said the convict had hoped to get mar ried while in Amarillo because couples are not allowed to hold hands during such ceremonies in the state prison. His fiancee was not identi fied, but was described by Stub ben as a 32-year-old divorced mother of three. “He is a whole different per son. He cares for other people now,” said Stubben. But Boydston said no wed dings would be held in his jail. “Rumbaugh is a temporary inmate. He is a regular inmate of the state prison. He can get mar ried in Huntsville,” Boydston said. In a federal courtroom in Amarillo earlier this year, Rum baugh shcluted he would set his own execution date and was shot by a U.S. marshal as he lunged at the officer with a pick-like weapon. He was testifying at a com petency hearing arranged by his parents at the time of the attack. His parents requested the hear ing to prevent his efforts to wave his right of appeal and force his execution.

The state attorney general’s office is suing the Glenview, Ill., manufacturer, claiming a defec tive Zenith television set in Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby’s private second-floor apartment caused the pre-dawn fire. Travis County District Judge Harley Clark on July 5 denied Zenith access to an investigative report written by Fire Marshal Ernest Emerson, who also re fused to answer questions dur ing a pre-trial hearing. But the 3rd Court of Appeals ordered Clark to withdraw his earlier order, examine Emer son’s report and determine if rules of evidence would prevent its disclosure to Zenith. Feed to be offered at discount prices United Press International WASHINGTON — Depu ty Agriculture Secretary Richard Lyng Wednesday put in motion a program that will make g o v e r n m e n t - o w n e d livestock feed available at a discount price to livestock producers hurt by this sum mer’s drought. Lyng also stirred up a con troversy by announcing that much less corn was available than was previously believed. In an announcement, the Agriculture Department said 27 million bushels of corn would be available to livestock producers. That figure was considerably less than the 83 million bushels of corn that had been consistently men tioned in discussions of the drought relief. Gene Hemphill, a depart ment spokesman, said the 83- million-bushel figure was based on an August inventory and the 27-million-bushel fi- inventory gure was from made last week. “Between August and last week we had the payment-in- kind entitlements come due,” he said. He said that although the low-grade corn in question was not generally used for payment-in-kind, some far mers opted to take a larger die department^expai,,, to. the difference it, a v *i corn. ™ 1 11 ' ' 11,u c a li 11 available.

United Press International A fierce price war pitting a na- tional supermarket chain against smaller, regional stores has proved costly to two princip al combatants, officials said Wednesday. Golub Corp. of Schenectady, owner of the 58-store Price Chopper chain in eastern and central New Y o i k , M a s- sachusetts, Pennsylvania and Vermont, revealed plans to de lay pay raises for its 8,700 em ployees for five months, effec tive Dec. 1. The move comes as the chain fights Grand Union Co., a na tional chain which plans to in vest SI 10 million in a price- cutting move to improve its mar ket share — despite reporting a $46.3 million loss from April to October. The company lost $36.5 million from July through October while sales climbed by 7.3 percent. Food prices have remained steady while operating costs have increased, analysts said. “We Ye come off a very difficult year,’’ said Elaine Solomon, spokesperson for Golub. “We’ve put a lot of our profits back into the company.” Price Chopper employees have supported the company’s move, Solomon said, describing the move as “a preventive mea sure” to avoid financial prob lems later. The company re mains profitable, she said. Price Chopper also cited de flation of food prices as a major reason its operating margins Untied Pr.

ROADRUNNER PRODUCTIONS & WTflW ^Southwest Texas State hosts the Magna Cam United Press International SAN MARCOS — King John of England, described by one historian as “bad news” and “a total loss,” incurred the wrath of medieval nobles with his con tinued refusal to honor age-old rights and practices of law. Butonjune 12, 1215,atRun- neymede, the barons forced the king to sign the Magna Carta, a document many scholars call the cornerstone of British and American law. Four of the original 20 docu ments still exist, and one of them — the Lincoln Exemplar — went on display Wednesday at South west Texas State University. When it was signed 768 years ago, the Magna Cana was little more than an agreement be tween a bad king and England’s rich aristocrisy. But it was eventually extended to common people, providing protection for “the man in the street and the field,” said Dr. J. Norman Parmer, professor of English history at Trinity Uni versity in San Antonio. “The barons were saying- ,’Look, we have certain rights,*” Parmer said. “Things had never gotten so bad since the Normans came to England in 1066. King John was such a total loss. It is very hard to find much good ab out King John. He managed to get himself in all kinds of trouble with the EugJvsL yveople myA vl\c church.” For Pavuvev, tLe Cav- la, or the Cheat Charter, was the most important of several char ters between the people of Fug- la nef anti their kings, although it did not contain any new or radic- edominantl Has Count; GOP anc fivor a plan t tria, represei |bhn W.
