The couple is not charged with any crime. But another couple in Dallas and a Dallas attorney, along with his wife, face felony indictments in connection with the alleged sale of Rachel Marie Hagge of Grand Prai rie. c is th< reset shou atR4 vt Robert Cox, a lawyer who was ap pointed by a Dallas judge to locate the child, who had been missing since June, said the New York cou ple will appear at a hearing in state District Court here Oct. 3. The hearing is the latest chapter in an alleged cross-country baby sale, officials say. Prosecutors say a Dallas couple obtained the child from her mother for adoption, and sold the infant to a Dallas attorney, who in turn sold the baby to the New York couple.

Post campus of Long Island University, and his wife is a teacher in the Manhasset School District on Long Island. The couple could not be reached for comment Wednesdsay at their home in Huntington, N.Y. Mary McKnight, an attorney for Tammy Hagge, the child’s natural mother, said Hagge wants her baby back. She also said the Dauler-Phinneys had to know everything wasn’t “on the up and up.” “In 1985, we just don’t buy and sell babies,” McKnight said. Dallas County prosecutors allege that the baby was sold for $14,000. Indicted in the case are Larry and Donna Blanton and Dallas attorney Robert I. Kingsley and his wife, Mary Zoe. By WADE WILSON Reporter The first multi-specialty medical center will open in College Station upon completion of the Scott 8c White Clinic in 1986, Donald W. Nelson, public affairs director for the clinic, said Tuesday. The groundbreaking ceremony for the 46,900 square foot clinic building that took place Tuesday was the first step in constructing the multi-specialty facility. reveals that all of the mentioned spe cialties already exist here, though they are not housed in the same building. there might lx? a teachingp set up there,” Nelson said ig going to lx* a hospital bul might be some opportunity^ cal work. ground for today will have dermato- logy, general surgery, general medi cine, obstetrics, gynecology, ophthal- mology, orthopedics, otorhinolaryngology, plastic sur gery, psychiatry, radiology and uro- logy,” Nelson said. He added that the clinic will work on an outpatient basis, with utiliza tion of the two hospitals in town if more care is required. Dr. William E. Ward, associate dean of the Texas A&M College of Medicine, said that while the Scott 8c White clinics have been very success ful elsewhere, the benefits the local clinic offers the College Station com munity is limited. “I don’t see it as having any bene fits over any other health care orga nization in town,” Ward said. “If you have trouble getting into some phy sician’s office, you might have a little less trouble because its going to pro vide additional health care facilities to this community.” “I think people are still* have to come here (the Tern pital) sometime, althougil might spend some time there I “In a sense the clinicwilHel (of the Temple hospital) in til people who are there will hail titles, as all Scott 8c White! do.” By A Intera success, Authorities had not known where the baby was since Hagge signed a “relinquishment of rights” to her daughter for adoption. Prosecutors say Hagge gave the baby to the Blantons, and they sold the child for at least $ 1,200 to Kings ley. Assistant District Attorney Gary Arey said Kingsley sold the baby for $ 14,000 to the Dauler-Phinneys. But one source in the case, who asked not to be identified, said the Dauler-Phinneys contend they thought they were paying legal fees and expenses, not purchasing a child. While the clinic is not due to be completed until July of 1986, Nelson said an interim clinic, at 2402 Broad moor, was opened Monday. Currently the interim clinic has one family practitioner and one pe diatrician, Nelson said. Although the planned clinic will be College Station’s first multi-spe cialty facility, a quick glance through the General Telephone yellow pages The clinic is a satellite of the Scott 8c White Hospital in T emple, where some A&M medical students fulfill their residency requirements, Ward said. He added that although the clinic is a satellite of the Temple hospital, it does not have the classification of a teaching hospital and would not con tribute to the University program in that respect. “All residencies must be done at teaching hospitals," Ward said. Nelson, however, sees the possibil ity of setting up teaching programs at the clinic. “I would say there is a possibility ■ t River Authority investigating claims of wrongdc^ Associated Press Judge Craig Penfold’s court hear ing Tuesday was an effort to locate the baby. He had threatened to jail the Blantons unless they revealed the baby’s whereabouts. They initially maintained they had given the child back to her mother and didn’t know where she was. Arey said that in the Tuesday hearing Blanton testified he had lied about returning the baby to her mother. AUSTIN — The Lower Colorado River Authority intends to hire an outside investigator to check allega tions of wrongdoing by staff mem bers in the use of house trailers and a farmhouse, possibly including par ties with prostitutes. LCRA board member John Scan- lan said the investigator will study the use of three trailers rented by the river authority in 1983 and 1984, and a renovated farmhouse at the Fayette Power Project near La Grange. The board authorized the hiring of an independent investigator at a closed-door session last week. Scan- lan was appointed to oversee the in vestigation along with LCRA general counseljohn Bagalay. The trailers, located southwest of Austin, were rented by the authority for $4,000 a month from the Morri- son-Knudsen Co., whose subsidiary has a contract with the LCRA to op erate the Powell Bend mine in Bas trop County. The firm also has done engineering work for the river au thority on the Cummins Creek mine. The trailers were intended for overnight stays by Morrison-Knud- sen employees working in Austin. Sources reported that LCRA em ployees attended parties in the trail ers. Some board members ques tioned whether prostitutes were present on some occasions. LCRA staff officials have denied any wrongdoing by the staff. The trailers are no longer rented by the river authority, the officials said. Board members also have ques tioned whether LCRA employees and contractors used the farmhouse for parties. The farmhouse property Dr. Robert S.
