Guard watching for pot RAL 3-6 United Press International AUSTIN — Texas Army Na tional Guard helicopter pilots will try to spot marijuana fields for state police while on routine flights, officials said Monday. DPS and Guard officials said a “memorandum of under standing” is expected to be signed within 30 days. The agreement will permit the Guard to gather drug-re lated intelligence for DPS dur ing regular duty hours, but for bids the Guard from taking an enforcement role. Pilots of 105 Guard helicopt ers will be trained by DPS to taut commander of the DPS Narcotics Service. “But we now have a vehicle for cooperation, so the military won’tjust turn its head away when it sees some thing.” Scott said there would be no additional costs to the state.

"I was working on two other scripts, interesting as subjects, but they had been other peo ple’s ideas,” Allison said. In search of a story of his own, he turned to the diaries he has kept since he was a young boy. “The minute I landed on it I knew it was wonderful.” The notations described a chance meeting he had in the early 1960s in Maryland with Robert Garrett, who won gold medals in both the shot put and discus competition in the 1896 Games. Garrett (played by Block) was not the first member of the 1896 U.S. Olympic Team whom Allison had met. In 1956, he met William Welles Hoyt, 1896 pole vault gold medal winner, at a party given by Allison’s par ents at their Galifornia home. Allison recalled in his diary that when he told Garrett about meeting Hoyt, the old man’s eyes lit up. ‘“Is my friend Bill Hoyt still alive?’ he asked me.” Allison had his mother track down the tall, shy old man only to learn that he had died about a year after that party in Cali fornia. He broke the news to Garrett in a telephone call. “When I told him Hoyt was dead, he said, ‘Then I’m the last one.’” He began doing research on the 1896 Games, only to find that little had been written about them other than statistical information in anthologies. By that time, Garrett also had died. So Allison began hunting down the decendants. “We were talking 15 families — 13 team members, the coach and the man who created them all, Dr. William Sloane (Stiers).” The families provided Alli son with pictures that have never been published, and one family had a complete set of programs printed in Greek and French, something Allison said even the Greek government does not have. “As I found the families, I was always greeted with, ‘At long last, somebody’s finally in terested.’ “Sport, as a social interest, was just being born worldwide — more potent in Europe, vir tually absent in America.” One man found a picture of a discus and had a team member bring it to a local blacksmith, Al lison said. The smith made a similar object that weighed 27 pounds. identify marijuana fields from the air, said Maj. Gen. Willie Scott, state adjutant general. Guard pilots are to report to DPS, which will follow up with an investigation. “We do not believe that the military should be directly in volved in the law enforcement function,” said Bill Pruitt, assis- j SPRING SAVINGS 20% off all Twisties 20% off all wedding bands and wedding sets in stock 30% off all Ke«psak/ wedding bands and Keepsake® wedding sets in stock DOUGLAS JEWELRY Locally owned and operated for over 20 years. 212 N.

Fie refused, how ever, to speculate on the likeli hood of any FCC legal action. “We have to assume that peo ple are going to come in for waivers now,” said Steve Ross, head of the bureau’s cable tele vision branch. The FCC investigation found cable systems in these Colorado areas were being overcharged: Westminster, Arvada, Engle wood, Aurora, Commerce City, Sheridan, Federal Heights, Ar apahoe, Cherry Hills Village, Gereenwood Hills, Castle Pines and Adams County. In Texas, Forth Worth, Dal las, Farmers Branch, Mesquite and Grapevine were charging too much, with the Austin-area communities of Rollingwood and West Lake Hills still under investigation. In New York, Brookhaven and Smithtown were not in compliance and Wheatfield and Tonawanda were being investi gated.
