Ron Kurtz, an Air Line Pilots As sociation spokesman in Houston, said Sunday that ALPA leaders ad journed a meeting after a resolution to end the strike railed by a majority vote. “They will convene in Washington on Monday at 9 a.m. (EDT),” he added. “The strike is still on.” That report came hours after Continental Airlines spokesman Mike Cinelli said ALPA had in formed them the strike was going to end, although not specifying a time. “That’s blatantly false,” countered Pete Lappin, vice chairman of AL- PA’s Master Executive Council in Washington. “We checked with the people who supposedly told them that, and it’s just not true.” The union last week said striking pilots could return to their jobs for “strategic and humanitarian rea sons” but said that the strike hadn’t ended. Cinelli said striking pilots who wanted to return to duty could re turn as vacancies arose, pending a review of their flight qualifications and completion of retraining. ALPA members walked out Oct. 1, 1983, one week after the carrier filed for protection from its cred itors under federal bankruptcy laws, slashed wages by up to 50 percent and cut its workforce by two-thirds. Continental employs 1,600 pilots, including 600 who flew for the car rier before the strike, officials said. Striking pilots have been perma nently replaced with experienced pi lots. Last week, ALPA officials said al lowing the remaining 1,450 pilots on strike to bid for their old jobs would accomplish ALPA’s goal of “getting and preservingjobs.” But Continental said in a release Sunday that an end to the strike would mean “senior pilots who did not request reinstatement may now have to wait several years to return to Continental instead of possibly re turning earlier had the union lead ership not misled them into thinking the strike would last much longer.” A group of working Continental pilots announced Aug. 26 that more than 90 percent of the carrier’s pilots had signed a petition asking ALPA be removed as their official bargain ing agent. The Union of Flight Attendants and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers had also walked off their jobs, but ended the strike last April, saying they would seek to resolve their dif ferences with the airline in court. A federal bankruptcy judge last year gave Continental permission to abrogate pre-petition contracts with the two unions, saying they would be “burdensome to any successful reor ganization by Continental.” Pot of North Texas Red wins 1985 Chilympiad Associated Press SAN MARCOS — A pot of North Texas Red cooked up by a Mesquite man was judged the best of 403 caul drons of the spicy concoction at the 1985 Republic of Texas Chilympiad. Tom Tyler won the title of best chili cook in Texas, while Harvey West of Plano, the defending cham pion, settled for second place with his brand, called Chili Magic. Thousands of people converged on the festival site, cooling off their sampling of the hot entries with cold beer. “We don’t stand a chance of get ting in the top 200, so we may as well make it hot enough,” said Pat Kelly, of Austin, as he dumped ingredients into his chili sauce. In went the chili powder, black pepper, — “Some cayenne to give it whoomph” — and a can of Miller beer. “It took six weeks to gather enough rat traks to make this chili,” said Gary Cooper of Houston. “That is the secret ingredient we use — rat trak,” said Bill Green, the chili’s namesake. Saturday was the climax of the four-day fling, which ended Sunday at the grounds of the Hays County Civic Center south of San Marcos. Money raised from the Chilympiad, which includes arts and crafts sales and concerts, will be used for local charities.

PUC luxury travel costly for taxpayers Associated Press DALLAS — Top officials of the Public Utility Commission have taken advantage of loopholes in state travel policies to treat themselves to expensive hotels, costly meals and expenses that were not documented with receipts, According to a pub lished report. The Dallas Times Herald re ported Sunday that in the past year, commission officials have used their state travel privileges to make side trips to New Orleans, go to a resort in Palm Springs, Calif., and take nu merous $30 cab rides to expensive restaurants. The expenses come at a time of a state budget crunch and when the PUC is under political pressure to keep utility rates low. The commis sion in a recent rate case prohibited electric company executives from charging ratepayers for expenses similar to those filed on PUC ex pense accounts. The period of travel examined was during the tenure of former Ex ecutive Director Jay Stewart. His employment with the PUC be gan in October 1984, when he left a similar position in Mississippi, and ended with his resignation earlier this month to accept a job in San Francisco. In his 11 months in Texas, he had more than $10,000 in personal travel expenses,_ the Times Herald reported. Two PUC commissioners told the newspaper that the agency wants all employees and the commissioners to travel as economically as possible. “If, in fact, they coulci have done it cheaper, they were not fulfilling our policy,” Chairman Phil Ricketts said. Commissioner Peggy RossonJ the PUC may have been “remis not scrutinizing its executive ( tor’s travel. Most state employees; to a daily travel allowance in Jlj| meals and $55 for lodgineJ agency heads — and any staffrT hers traveling with them -G exempted from those restriction!| In addition, many of the PUC i penses billed to taxpayers were accompanied by receipts, a put P allowed under state regulations Volunteers help in Battleship Texas renovation Associated Press HOUSTON — Bernard Olive and a few friends are volunteering part of their spare time to help spruce up the rusting Battleship Texas in time for the state’s sesqui- centennial celebration next year. The cost of repairing the ship, used in two world wars, ranges from $6 million to $8 million. The state is picking up part of the tab, with the rest coming from private donations. “You hear people say all the time that somebody should do something, but when it comes right down to them personally it’s a different story Suddenly they’re too busy,” Olive said. So in March, Olive and a few friends from Baytown decided to give up some of their free time, roll up their sleeves and make a personal contribution to history. Dan Harrison, the battleship’s captain, says the volunteers have logged about 500 hours down in the bilges of the Texas, berthed at San Jacinto State Park. “The thing we found out real 3 uick is that in addition to being irty work, it’s hot,” Olive said. “Some of these areas haven’t been opened in years.” Harrison said the volunteers soon will begin fixing up the compart ments on the ship, chippinj ’ paint, clearing rust and putting® '• coating of rust inhibitor. “That will stablize the entiresi then as we want to open newro« ( we can do it with a minimiumoii fort,” he said. About 30 percent of the 573f( 27,000-ton warship currently iso) 1 to the public, he said. PHOTO SYSTEMS INCORPORATED -AND- PARTY PICS If s that time again!
