Process-industry manufactur
ers will have the chance to learn
about the latest technological ad
vances in a symposium being held
at Texas A&M beginning today at
10 a.m. and continuing through
Thursday.
The 43rd Annual Symposium
on Instrumentation for the Proc
ess Industries, sponsored by the
Department of Chemical Engi
neering, will be conducted at the
Rudder Conference Center.
An estimated 600 instrumenta
tion engineers and others from
the process industries, such as re
fining and chemical production,
will meet for the symposium.
The gathering is widely known
for its presentation of reports on
successfully applied advanced
technology from industry rep
resentatives, said Dr. Rayford G.
Anthony, chairman of the sympo
sium and professor of chemical
engineering at A&M.
“The main objective is educa
tion,” Anthony said, “and it is a
good opportunity for instrumen
tal engineers, manufacturers, us
ers and vendors to learn about
the latest use of equipment avail
able. It is a chance to see the lead
ing edge of applied technology.”
Anyone interested in the sub-
ect is encouraged to attend. Reg
istration is $75 and does not in
clude workshop fees or the
Wednesday evening barbeque.
Full-time students interested in
attending the symposium may ob
tain a free pass/badge at the Rud
der Conference Center begin
ning at 8 a.m. today.
Peter A. Waldheim, the sympo
sium’s keynote speaker, is the vice
president for engineering for the
M.W. Kellogg Co., one of the “big
five” worldwide engineering
firms.
After the opening ceremonies
today, Waldheim will discuss
“Change — Do We Manage It or
Does It Manage Us?”
Other topics to be discussed
during the three-day symposium
include expert systems in the con
trol room, instrument mainte
nance and the communication hi-
erarchy for plant-wide
automation.
Four pre-conference
workshops will also be offered to
day from 10 a.m. to noon before
.the symposium, which begins at 1
p.m. The workshops consider
topics such as controller tuning;
relief-valve application and siz
ing; and the techniques and tools
used in fiber optics.
Registration for the sympo
sium is required to attend the
workshops, which cost $ 10.
About 57 exhibitors will pre
sent educational ideas in the MSC
during the exhibit’s hours, which
are today from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.,
Wednesday from 11:30 a.m. to
2:45 p.m. and Thursday from
11:15 a.m. to 1:45 p.m.
Old gun wound
kills Dallas man
after 20 years
DALLAS (AP) — More than 20
years ago, Army veteran M.C. Rus
sell of Dallas was shot by his wife in a
fierce argument.
Last week, the bullet that lodged
in his spine, keeping him bedridden
and almost a quadriplegic, finished
its work.
Russell, 60, died and was buried
last week. The Dallas County medi
cal examiner’s office ruled the shot
and pre-existing heart disease killed
Russell.
His death was labeled a homicide,
but investigators expect the case will
be promptly closed.
Relatives have said his wife Lois,
whom Russell later divorced, died
four years ago.
Russell, described as a mild-tem-
pered and religious man, moved to
Dallas in 1966 after he left the Army
and took a job with Canada Dry.
On Nov. 6, 1967, he returned
home late from work and he and his
wife got into an argument, accord
ing to Fred Russell, his brother. He
said Mrs. Russell grabbed a .22-cali
ber pistol and shot her husband once
in the neck.
Doctors could not remove the bul
let for fear of causing more spinal
damage.
Imogene Evans, who cared for
her brother after the shooting, said
Russell declined to press charges
against his wife and never acted bit
ter toward her. “He said if he
pressed charges against her, he was
not leaving anything for God to do,”
Evans said.
15 years of incest ends for three sisters
DALLAS (AP) — A mother and
her three grown daughters say they
are ready to begin their lives free
from a man who ruled them for 20
years.
“It’s been a disaster all these years,
land it’s cruelty and it’s anguish and
everything else,” Vera Elliott, 45,
said. “To me, I felt like I have been
used to the max. To continue it, I
would rather be dead.”
Elliott, her children and her
I grandchildren have ended 20 years
j of rule by Lewis Charles Elliott. He
[ was convicted in November on three
[counts of incest. Mrs. Elliott’s grand
children are her husband’s children.
Elliott, 53, is in the Dallas jail
awaiting a 10-year sentence in the
Texas Department of Corrections.
The daughters say that although
Elliott never let them date, have
close friends or even have private
telephone conversations, they still
love him.
“This was the kind of situation
that had so many different feelings
involved,” the middle daughter said.
“You’d want to cry, you’d want to
die. You’d think you’d want to kill.
But then you’d have the times you
think you were good, and you were
happy and you’d love him so much.”
They said the incest began when

they were adolescents and lasted for
more than 15 years.
Elliott had a suspicion of outsiders
and it was an outsider who even
tually brought an end to the only life
the women had ever known.
The youngest daughter had been
allowed to work away from the fam
ily to pay off her business school tu
ition loan. She fell in love with a co
worker and told him what her life
was like.
The man immediately went to hu
