Confederate group to build
1st hangar outside of Texas
Facility to house World War II era planes
MADISON, Miss. (AP) — The
Confederate Air Force will construct
its First hangar outside its sprawling
Texas headquarters at Bruce Camp
bell Field and leaders hope a perma
nent World War II aviation museum
will follow.
The Confederate Air Force,
which links its name to a rebellious
spirit of its pilots, will construct a
6,000-square-foot hangar valued at
$35,000 at a cost of about $10,000.
The organization, which signed a
20-year, renewable lease Tuesday
with the town of Madison, will begin
construction next week.
“We are extremely proud and ex
cited about our new headquarters,”
said Bob Bates of Jackson, leader of
the local Confederate Air Force
chapter.
“There are 36 wings, or subordi
nate divisions, but Mississippi is in a
unique position of having a hangar
of its own,” he said. “We’re proud of
that.”
Initially the hangar will house five
World War II-era aircraft, an offi
cers’ briefing room and gathering
place for World War II veterans.
If Madison follows through on an
announced plan to move the airport
to a site outside the town limits, the
Confederate Air Force will have the
option of transferring the lease to
the new airport.
Bates said the organization’s han
gar will be build so that it can be dis
assembled and moved.
“Our concept is for it to be a home
for our aircraft and a meeting place
for our colonels,” Bates said. “Even
tually, we hope that it will grow into
a static museum of World War II
memorabilia as well.”
At least four vintage airplanes
owned either by the 4-year-old Mis-
“We won’t be parking any
modern aircraft at the
hangar. The unique thing
about the Confederate Air
Force is that we have re
stored vintage aircraft in
flying condition. We’re a
flying museum. ”
— Bob Bates of Jackson,
Miss.
sissippi Wing of the Confederate Ait-
Force or individually by its 45 mem
bers, or “colonels” from Mississippi,
Alabama and Louisiana will be kept
in the hangar.
“We won’t be parking any modern
aircraft at the hangar,” Bates said.
“The unique thing about the Con
federate Air Force is that we have re
stored vintage aircraft in flying con
dition.
"We’re a flying museum.”
The local chapter also will use the
hangar as a monthly meeting place
and weekend workshop for restora
tion and upkeep of the aircraft.
“Whenever we’re out there, it will
be open for the public to come and
look, but it’ll be a couple of years be-
fore a real museum is opened,'
Bates said.
The Confederate Air Force, based
in Harlingen, was formed in 1957 to
preserve American World War II-
era aircraft.
The organization completed iis
collection of American combat ait-
craft in 1972 but recently has ex
panded its collection to include a
nearly complete set of transports,
trainers and the only helicopter-type
aircraft to see service in World War
II.
The 140-aircraft collection also in
dudes fighters, Irombers and train
ers of the British Royal Air Force,
German Luftwaffe and a fleet ot
replica aircraft of the ImperialJapa
nese Navy.
Local chapters conduct airshows
throughout the United States andin
foreign countries during the year
An international airshow is held
each October by the entire organiza
tion that includes chapters in Can
ada, New Zealand and Australia.

Cordial court session
clears way for Texaco
to fight further battles
WHITE PLAINS, N Y. (AP) —
The legal war between Texaco Inc.
and Pennzoil Co. that drove Texaco
to seek bankruptcy-law protection
can now resume in Texas courts, a
bankruptcy judge ruled Thursday.
“You may proceed in the appel
late courts in Texas with my bles
sings,” said Judge Howard Schwartz-
berg, who is overseeing Texaco’s
reorgdni/.ntion tinder the' fedefid
bankruptcy laws-
During a brief'and cordial court
session, Schwartzberg also allowed
Texaco to make payments on more
than 9,400 oil and gas leases.
All litigation between Texaco,
based in White Plains, N.Y., and
Houston-based Pennzoil was put on
hold April 12 when Texaco filed for
protection under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
Under Chapter 11, a company
can continue operating while it
works out a plan to reorganize its fi
nances. But the company’s pre-
Chapter 11 debts are frozen during
reorganization and the company is
protected from lawsuits by its cred
itors.
The celebrated Texaeo-Pennzoil
battle arose from Texaco’s takeover
of Cietty Oil Co. in 1984, a deal Pen
nzoil allegedly illegally interfered
with.
Texaco now will resume its appeal
of the original jury award of $10.5
billion, and Pennzoil is appealing the
reduction of that award to $8.5 bil
lion, although interest and penalties
have increased that amount to about
$ 1 1 billion.
Schwartzberg also gave the green
light for Texaco to pay up to $86
million in mineral, oil and gas lease
payments that were due Thursday,
thus allowing Texaco to continue
operating the leases.
Of that amount, Pennzoil will be
paid $5,000 for mineral rights it
owns, according to Texaco lawyers
Harvey Miller and Martin Bienens-
tock.
Pennzoil attorney Kenneth Klee
said his client had no objection to
Texaco making the payments and
protecting its assets.
The amicability of the dozen or so
lawyers gathered before Schwartz
berg “bodes very well” for the case,
Schwartzberg said.
2 men die
after drinking
toxic brew
AMARILLO (AP) —Two peo
ple died after drinking a toxic
home brew and nine others were
hospitalized, including a man
nicknamed “Whiskey Bill" who is
believed to have passed the liquor
around, police said Thursday.
The homemade liquor was
passed around at several bars
Easter Sunday, said Amarillo p-
lice spokesman Helen Cruz. She
said the effects of the liquor do
not become apparent for eight to
12 hours and the people affected
did not check into area hospitals
until Wednesday.
The suspect, 65, nicknamed
“Whiskey Bill" was arrested on
public intoxication charges
Wednesday and taken to North
west Texas Hospital after he be
came ill, Cruz said. Police would
not release his real name.
Malcolm Fisher, 65, and Joe
Cohorst, 85, both of Amarillo,
died Wednesday after drinking
the liquor, Cruz said.
Cruz said the liquor was made
of methanol, a poisonous sub
stance obtained by distilling
wood. It is used as a fuel, solvent
and antifreeze.
Senators tour, argue for tax hike
CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) — Dem
ocratic legislators, arguing that Gov.
Bill Clements’ anti-tax message is
wrong, toured South Texas Thurs
day and said the choice is to pay
more taxes or suffer cuts in services.
“Everybody wants to go to heaven,
but nobody wants to die,” said Sen.
Carlos Truan, D-Corpus Christi.
“The governor is reducing his
budget ... on the shoulders of pub
lic and higher education and in the
area of health and human services
against the people that can least af
ford it,” Truan said. “And that’s why
we’re here.” Calling themselves “the
truth squad,” Truan and five other
Democratic lawmakers are following
in the Republican governor’s foot
steps, visiting the same cities where
Clements has campaigned against a
tax increase of more than $2.9 bil
lion.
The Democrats said that popula
tion growth, increased unemploy
ment and inflation mean state gov-
ernrhent must spend more to
provide the same help to its citizens
during the next two years than it did
in the last two. And that means a tax
increase, they said.
Sen. Hugh Parmer, D-Fort
Worth, said,“Everybody knows that
when the price of groceries goes up
and your income doesn’t, you buy
less groceries.”
Since Monday, Clements has been
touring the state to rally public sup
port for his budget stance. He has
vowed to veto any 1988-89 budget
greater than $36.9 billion, which
would require a $2.9 billion two-year
tax hike.
The Senate has approved a $39.9
billion budget, and the truth squad
members said they are only being
realistic.
They called upon Clements to ad
mit that his budget would require re
ductions in services Texans need
during this economic slump.
