DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Alli
son Brown, a 17-year-old from Ed
mond, Okla., was crowned Miss
Teen USA Tuesday night, winning
'Oil50,000 in cash and prizes.
The blond, green-eyed teen, who
said her mother was a feminist and
had once picketed beauty pageants,
was selected over first runner-up
Miss Texas Becky Pestana, also 17,
of San Antonio.
Contestants from all 50 states and
the District of Columbia were
judged in swimsuit and evening
gown competitions in the nationally
televised pageant at the Ocean Cen
ter.
During the show. Miss Brown said
her mother, Suzanne Brown, an au
thor of historical books, had once
picketed beauty pageants.
“But she supports me now,” Miss
Brown said, a student at Edmond
Memorial High School.
Hosts for the fourth-annual pag
eant for girls ages 15 to 18 were tele
vision personality Michael Young
and actress Morgan Brittany. They
also hosted the first pageant.
Also featured in the show were ce
lebrities Bobby Rydell, Fabian, Fran
kie Avalon, the Commodores and
the Solid Gold Dancers.
Demonstrators marched peace
fully outside the hall, carrying plac
ards such as “For This We Pay
Taxes” and “Taxes Should Not
Fund Sexist Events.”
Bonnie Berns of the Volusia-Flag-
ler chapter of the National Organi
zation for Women, which organized
the protest, said her group has asked
the state attorney’s office to investi
gate if $100,000 of the $250,000 the
Volusia County Council spent to
promote and help produce the con
test was a legal contribution.
Berns said the council should not
have voted to use funds from the
state sales tax without a general ordi
nance. She also wants investigated
whether the donation violates a
county ordinance against spending
property tax money on the center.
Council members and other pag
eant supporters say the show will
provide the county with millions of
dollars worth of advertising and will
boost tourism.
Jeffrey Dees, executive director to
State Attorney Stephen Boyles, said
Monday he asked county officials to
supply some information in connec
tion with Berns’ request for a probe.
A decision on investigating the pag
eant funding will not be made until
after the information is reviewed, he
said.
County to continue $10 million project
Judge: Retirees must leave homes
Associated Press
PORT ISABEL — A Cameron County jury
said Tuesday that two retired South Padre Island
couples will have to move out of their mobile
homes, so the county can proceed with a $10 mil
lion park renovation project.
The jury took less than 30 minutes to find
against Stan and Donna Vickers and Jimmy and
Lucile DePriest, who were leasing mobile homes
at Isla Blanca Park.
The county took the couples to justice of the
peace court after they refused to move. The cou
ples said they would appeal the civil jury’s deci
sion to the county court-at-law.
Their cases were the first after county officials
sent out notices last fall to the 135 residents of
Isla Blanca Park, saying that the county plans to
convert the trailer home sites to recreational-ve
hicle sites.
Officials said the $10 million park renovation
plan would make the sites more profitable for the
county and allow more people access to them.
The DePriests and the Vickers were leasing
sites in the path of a proposed road that will en
circle the improved park.
The DePriests said they were mad because the
county was not offering to reimburse them for
the remodeling they have done at the site since
moving in in 1974.
“We couldn’t replace it for $80,000, not even
for $100,000,” DePriest said after the verdict. “I
can’t do the work now that I could do then.”
Vickers, who represented himself and the De
Priests at the trial, argued that the county could
not evict them.
He said the county was leasing the land from
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, who had said
in its lease that any tenant should be allowed to
stay if the site was well-maintained.
“We have an investment out there and we
don’t want to lose it,” Vickers said. “But that’s not
important. It’s the principle.”
But Brian Janis, a county prosecutor, said it
was merely a case of the county not agreeing to
renew the lease and wanting the couples out.
Others park residents have protested their
leases, which, if the proposed park proves suc
cessful, will not be renewed. They have said they
will not move.
County parks director Ken Conway said the
couples may have spent thousands of dollars at
the site, but he did not feel sorry for them be
cause they were only paying $125 a month rent
for living near the beach and the border.
“I guess I don’t feel real bad so the public can
have access toward it, too,” Conway said.
The jury was against the couples in law, but
not in spirit.
“We found for the plaintiffs because that was
the law,” foreman Jewell Dancey said, “but our
hearts are with the people who have to be
evicted.”
Weinberger,
Schulz debate
U.S. policy
(continued from page I)
doing will diminish and discour
age terrorism in the future.”
A senior aide to Shultz, who
asked not to be identified, says
the State Department advocated a
punitive strike against targets in
Libya after the airport attacks.
But Reagan sided with Wein
berger and opted for economic
sanctions.
After the hijacking of a TWA
plane last year in which one
American was killed and dozens
held hostage, Reagan named a
special task force on terrorism,
headed by Vice President George
Bush, to study the issue.
But the group’s report is am
biguous on the question of retri
bution, neither recommending it
nor ruling it out.
Comedies give NBC ratings win
Associated Press
NEW YORK — NBC, after two
consecutive second-place finishes,
won the ratings last week when “Ma
fia Princess” gunned down two ro
mance films in the significant Sun
day night movie battle and “The
Cosby Show” audience built to an
other record level, figures from the
A.C. Nielsen Co. showed Tuesday.
NBC, with seven of the Top 10
shows, including its four Thursday
night comedies, finished first for the
week of Jan. 13-19 with an average
rating of 18.4. CBS, dominating the
early part of Sunday with its Top 10
hits “Murder, She Wrote” and “60
Minutes,” had a 17.9. ABC, with no
series in the Top 10 and only three
in the Top 20, averaged a 13.8.
“The Cosby Show” ranked first
with its largest rating ever, a 38.5,
the
which was the best performance for
any regular series episode since the
“Dallas’” “Who Shot J R.” program
in 1980. It also was the highest rated
series comedy since “Three’s Com
pany” in 1979.
The record-breaking “Cosby” epi
sode Thursday concluded with an
unusual TV moment, as the Huxta-
ble family silently gathered around
the living room TV set to hear a
speech by the Rev. Martin Luther
King.
NBC’s “Family Ties” was second
in the ratings, followed by “Murder,
She Wrote,” “60 Minutes” and
NBC’s “Cheers.” Next came “Mafia
Princess,” NBC’s “Golden Girls,”
CBS’ “Dallas,” NBC’s “Night Court”
and NBC’s “Miami Vice.”
“Mafia Princess” blunted CBS’
new Sunday night movie strategy
that had proven so successful the
week before when its TV movie beat
repeat films on ABC and NBC.
However, on Sunday, each network
had a first-run, made-for-TV film,
and NBC’s “Mafia Princess” sur
prised the network researchers and
won the three-way competition.
The five lowest-rated shows, in
descending order, were: ABC’s
“He’s the Mayor” in 67th, NBC’s
“Punky Brewster,” ABC’s “Ripley’s
Believe It or Not,” ABC’s “The Fall
Guy” and ABC’s “Shadow Chasers.”
In the evening news competition,
the “CBS Evening News” was first
with a 13.8 rating. “NBC Nightly
News” averaged a 13.1, its closest
finish to CBS since April 1982.
U.S. will issue Sesquicentennial stamps
Associated Pre ^
WASHINGTON — A 22-cent
postage stamp commemorating the
150th anniversary of Texas’ inde
pendence from Mexico will be issued
in San Antonio on March 2, the
Postal Service announced.
The stamp pictures a spur on a
Texas flag backdrop, with the
words, “San Jacinto 1836” and “Re
public of Texas” beneath it. Chief
Postal Inspector Charles R. Clauson
and author James Michener will
speak at the dedication ceremony
March 2.
The stamp was designed by Don
Adair of Richardson. The spur is

belonged to Mexican General Santa
Anna and given to Sam Houston,
the first president of the Republic of
Texas.
