Mark White is trying to kill the appointment of a state commission member who —un known to White — jumped to the Republican Party several days before the Democratic governor an nounced the selection. White* last Thursday named W. Dwain Read of Conroe to the 12- member State Commission on Judi cial Conduct. On Feb. 3, Read switched to the GOP and entered the race for Montgomery County judge. Now White’s staff says Read is in eligible for the job because of a “conflict of interests” with his judi cial candidacy. Janis Monger of White’s press of fice said, “He will be told he has to withdraw (from the appointed post) or not run forjudge.” Read, president of Read Chevro let in Groesbeck, said he plans to do neither until he checks with his law yer. “I’m not county judge yet. After I’m elected, I might could under stand having to step down,” Read said. “This is definitely a case of politics here,” he said. “The Democratic governor did not know I had filed as a Republican candidate for county judge. He was upset and some of the Democratic officials in Montgomery County were upset.” Read said his signed oath of office arrived in the Secretary of State’s of fice Tuesday, but Dwayne Holman, White’s appointments aide, told him it would not be accepted. Read said, “I’m qualified and will ing to serve on the commission. I as sume he appointed me based on my reputation and integrity and qualifi cations. I can only assume that be cause I’m now a Republican he feels I’m not qualified.” Aid for disabled children facing Gramm-Rudman cut Associated Press AUSTIN — Witnesses told a state Senate committee Tuesday the Gramm-Rudman Act could reduce by millions of dollars the money available for taking care of crippled children in Texas. Sen. Gonzalo Barrientos, D-Aus- tin, asked witnesses before the Sen ate Committee on Health and Hu man Resources about the impact of the new law, which requires a bal anced federal budget by 1991. The committee focused Tuesday on health services for crippled chil dren. Dr. Robert MacLean, state deputy health commissioner, estimated that Gramm-Rudman could reduce crippled children’s funds received by the health department by $3.8 million in the 1987 fiscal year. He said the department now re ceives $20 million a year. Ken Crow of the Texas Education Agency said that although the TEA doesn’t have clear figures, the loss of federal funds in 1987 could range from $3.8 million to $25 million. Ilene Cray of the Texas Rehabili tation Commission said, “We’re keeping our fingers crossed, but we’re looking at perhaps a 2 percent decrease in federal funds.” She said the commission estimates that for every dollar spent on reha bilitation, $13 is put back into the economy. Another witness, Dr. Earl Brewer, director of the Pediatric Rheumato logy Center at Texas Children’s Hospital, said he supported team health care for chronically ill chil dren. Brewer and Dr. Doman Keele, professor of clinical pediatrics at the Southwestern Medical School in Dal las, agreed that some form of “case management” is needed for crippled and chronically ill children. Both also agreed that the logical case manager would be the local pe diatrician, who has training as a spe cialist and also knows the child and family better. “Parents often become confused,” Keele said. “The pediatrician is in a logical position to sort out their prio rities for them and coordinate the care.” Search for girl yields few clues, police say Associated Press DALLAS — Despite more than 30 tips, new information was scarce re garding the disappearance of a Dal las girl, 9, for whom there is a $5,000 reward, investigators said Tuesday. Christie Diane Proctor disap peared at about 6 p.m. Saturday as she returned to her family’s apart ment, police said. Her friend said that halfway to Christie’s home, as the girls parted, she saw a man in a white van “who kept on staring at me. . . . He had part of a beard, part of a mustache and a mole.” 1 Police and FBI agents were check ing a possible link between Christie’s disappearance and the brief abduc tion of another young girl from the same elementary school last week. A police report said the girl, 10, who was kidnapped earlier, was re leased from a white van. Investigators said the search has turned up only one clue: a white box of Valentine cards Christie was car rying, found a block from her home. Former principal declares innocence at trial Associated Press LIVINGSTON — Former junior high school principal Hurley Fonte not denied Tuesday that he had any thing to do with the slaying of a ju nior high school football coach who planned to marry the school secre tary. “I did not kill Billy Mac Fleming, and I have no idea who did,” Fonte not said immediately upon taking the witness stand. Fontenot, 48, former principal of Hull-Daisetta Woodson Junior High School, is accused of fatally shooting Fleming twice in the back of the head on April 12. The coach’s body was found 10 days later. Prosecutors have argued that Fontenot and Fleming were rivals for the affections of Laura Nugent, 36, school secretary. But Fontenot said he thought Fleming was an outstanding coach, loved by students, and a person who did an excellent job as a teacher. “I was thoroughly pleased with Bill’s performance,” he said. “I liked Billy Fleming.” Fontenot also denied Nugent caused the breakup of his marriage. Mrs. Fontenot, who testified ear lier, said she did not see her husband from early morning of April 12 until the morning of April 14 because he told her he went to a horse track in Louisiana and she was attending classed at Prairie View A&M Univer sity as a weekend student. “Laura and A had an employee- employer relationship until my di vorce,” Fontenot said. Fontenot said he was concerned, but not upset, when he learned Nu gent and Fleming were dating. “Laura had experienced two mar riages that did not work out,” the former principal said. “I wanted the best for her. I was concerned she find someone she could be happy with.” Fontenot said he talked with Fleming, 36, about his relationship with Nugent. “His exact words were that he thought he had finally found the person who could make him happy for the rest of his life,” Fontenot said. But Fontenot said he warned Nu gent and Fleming that their relationship would be the cause of gossip in the rural East Texas area. “In a rural town . . . gossip is more sacred than the Bible,” Fontenot said.

Schachterle Chiropractor STOMACH TROUBLE Because of the stomach’s central location in the body, it is richly supplied by the body’s nervous system. Since all stomach functions are controlled by nerve impulses, it can be deducted then, that the stomach can function no better then the nerve impulses it receives. When “stomach trouble”, a vague term characterized by a variety of symptoms, is present, the reason may be that the nerve impulse supply to it, or to a functionally-re lated area, has been blocked. Such interference usually occurs in the spine from which nerve trunks flow. In cases like these, a chiropractor may be able to help without resort ing to drugs, antacid or syrups. Please do not ignore the early warning signs: Headache, stiffness in neck/back, painful joints, leg/arm pain, numbness, back/neck pain, shoulder pain, numbness in hands/feet. Early treatment of these signs will minimize your need for additional follow-up visits. Complimentary consultation <md spinal evaluation will be given thru the end of the month. Previous patients of chiropractic who feel the necessity for “only” a spinal adjust ment are welcome. Should you feel a need for an appointment please call 696-2100. Hint: Chiropractic practices can be found in every state, and in many other countries. HOURS: Mon., Wed., Fri. 12-7 pm Tues., Thurs., Sat. 8-1 pm 909 Southwest Pkwy. Doctor & Professional Bldg.
