WASHINGTON (AP) — The
labor -civil rights alliance that
helped defeat President Nixon's
last Supreme Court nomination
has reformed to oppose his ap-
pointment of Judge G. Harrold
Carswell to the high court.
AFL -CIO President George
Meany, speaking out on the eve
of today's opening of Senate
hearings on the nomination,
said Carswell "does not meet
the high standards requisite for
Supreme Court membership."
Sen. William Proxmire also
fired a broadside at the 50 -year-
old judge in a speech prepared
for delivery to the Senate today.
The Wisconsin Democrat said
Carswell was a judge whose
credentials "are distinguished
by their mediocrity."
Civil rights groups already
were on record with strong op-
position to Carswell. Tl&y
fought his nomination when he
was elevated to the 5th U.S.
Court of Appeals last June.
Critics of the nomination were
armed with the disclosures that
Carswell gave a political speech
in 1948 pledging life -long devo-
tion to white supremacy and

northern Florida he served as a
director of a segregated country
club.
As the battlelines were form-
ing, the American Bar Associa-
tion came out in support of
Carswell. Lawrence E. Walsh,
chairman of the bar's Commit-
tee on the Federal Judiciary,
said its member were unani-
mous in the opinion the nominee
is qualified to serve on the
court.
Carswell, who made tradition-
al get- acquainted calls Monday
on members of the Senate Judi-
ciary Committee, was norninat-
ed by the President Jan. 19 to
fill the vacancy created by 'the
resignation under fire of Justice
Abe Fortas last May.
Nixon had selected Clement
F. Haynsworth Jr. for the high
court, but the Senate in Novem-
ber voted 55 to 45 against confir-
mation of the South Carolinian
who is chief judge of the 4th
U.S. Court of Appeals.
Although labor leaders were
among the chief witnesses
against Haynsworth, Chairman
James 0. Eastland, D -Miss , of
the Judiciary Committee, told a
reporter he knew of no request
from the AFL -CIO to testify
against Carswell.
Some Democrats on the com-
mittee indicated concern lest
action be taken on Carswell be-
fore there was time for a full
check into his background and
judicial philosophy.
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-
Mass., a Judiciary Committee
member, told a reporter he
knows of no desire to delay ac-
tion on the nomination unduly,
but it was difficult to say how
long the hearings might last.

the committee members who
have said Carswell sbculd be
given a chance to explain the
white supremacy speech he
made 22 years ago.
At the time in 1948 Carswell, a
candidate for the Georgia legis-
lature, said he yielded to no
man "in the firm, vigorous be-
lief in principles of white su-
premacy and I shall always be
so governed.”
When the speech was brought
to light last week from old
newspaper files, Carswell repu-
diated it. He said he now finds
the words and thoughts "obnox-
ious and abhorrent."
Senate leaders of both parties
have said they doubt the speech
will have any effect on Cars -
well's chances for confirmation
by the Senate, but Proxmire re-
ferred to it as "a blatantly rac-
ist speech."
In challenging Carswell's
qualifications, Proxmire said
his credentials "show the
heights which an average intel-
lect can reach by riding the
coat -tails of political favorit-
ism."

City Hall Status, Contractor
Pay Debated by CS Officials
By FRANK GRIFFIS
Eagle Staff Writer
The College Station City
Council expressed concern and
dismay over the way the con-
tracts for the new City Hall -
police -fire station were being
handled during last night's
meeting.
In the city manager's report,
Ran Boswell told the council
that the contractor's esthlate
f o r last November and
December was $31,967.26 and
$39,083.30, respectively. The
council then discussed payment
of the estimates.
"I approve the payment of
the $31,967.26 for November, but
I don't know about tine $39,082.30
for December," Councilman
James Dozier said.
Boswell told Dozier the
council did not have the power
to differ from the contractor's
estimates, just to approve the
payment of the estimate.
"We have to pay the
estimates as soon as we receive
them," Boswell said.
"Oh, what you are saying
then is that you want us w
approve what you have already
paid the contractor to keep you
out of the soup," Dozier said.
Boswell said the total contract
called for a $331,171 ex-
penditure, $283,979.25 of which
has already been paid to the
contractor.
Dozier asked Boswell when
the deadline was for con-
struction on the new building.
Boswell said he did not have
the information on hand but
that he could get it.
Councilman C. S. Ransdell
said he thought the deadline
was last Nov. 24.
"Isn't there a $100 a day
penalty clause in the contract
for time missed past the
deadline ?" Dozier asked. Fe
also asked if an extension had
been granted on the contract
deadline.
Anderson said that the council
had not extended the contract.
"The architect has granted
two extensions already without
consulting the council; which
according to the contract, is i.s
privilege," Anderson said. He
added that a total of 20 days
had been extended to the
deadline.
"I think the citizens and the
council would like to know why
it has taken so damned long
getting built," Dozier said.
Boswell said the architect has
given no explanation for the
delay. The architect is C. R.
Watson of Watson & Co., Bryan.
The council agreed to hold a
meeting with the architect and
the contractor before the next
council meeting to find the
cause of the delay.
Boswell told the council the
total bill for the water line to
the T e x a s International
Speedway was $10,013. The
council had previously agreed
to bear part of the cost of the
water line to the raceway.
Council members agreed to
hold payment of the bill until
they were assured the con-
tractor who installed the water
line had been paid by TTS.

Gas Rate Action
The College Station City
Council deferred action Monday
night on a proposed 21.68 per
cent increase in commercial and
residential gas rates by Lone
Star Gas Co.
The council was slated to hear
Logan Wilson, Lone Star district
manager, but requested that ae
postpone his talk until a later
date. The postponement is to
enable council members to
study the overall costs of the
proposed hike.
"We do think the proposed
increase is excessively large
from our standpoint. We feel
the amount of increase is rnt

"We are aware of agreements
of other cities with the Lone
Star Gas Company and i e know
the company can take the
matter to court. We are in the
process of discussing the
situation with Lone Star Gas,"
Anderson continued.
"I think it would be better
if we postponed the meeting
until a later date. I don't see
whether we can aa:omplish
anything tonight because the

analysis," Wilson said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — With
a dramatic and unprecedented
televised veto, President Nixon
has rejected a budget- boosting
19.7 billion education - health
money bill, warning "we can
spe :ld our selves poor."
Nixon told the national radio -
TV audience Monday night the
appropriation though politically
popular was "the wrong amount
for, the wrong purpose and at
the wrong time."
"The issue," the President
said during the 11- minute
speech, "is not whether some of
us are for education and health
and others against it ... The
question is: How much can the
federal government afford to
spend on these programs this
year ?"
Then, after listing the reasons
he said counted against the ap-
propriation that exceeded his
recommendations by 2.26 bit=
lion, Nixon, with the TV camera
focused tightly on his right
hand, signed the veto message
—the first of his administration.
Never before had a President
wielded his veto pen before tele-
vision cameras. And it seemed
unlikely any bill ever had made
so swift a round trip between
Capitol Hill and the White
House —less than a day.
In reaching past the Demo-
cratic- controlled Congress to
argue his case before the na-
tion, Nixon assured a White
House - Capitol Hill showdown.
The confrontation has been
building for more than a month,
since Congress first defied Nix-
on protests and fashioned the
19.7 billion appropriation for
the departments of Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare, Labor and
the Office of Economic Oppor-
tunity.
Final congressional action
came Monday in the House,
which settled a side issue by
voice vote and rushed the con-
tested appropriation on to the
President.,
Nixon's retort was swift.
As he has from the beginning,
Nixon called the appropriation
inflationary. And as they have
from the beginning, Democrats
insisted it is not.
Former Vice President Hu-
bert H. Humphrey restated a
Democratic contention that Con-
gress actually cut the Nixon
budget by 5 billion even count-
ing the increased health and ed-
ucation spending. Humphrey
said the appropriation "is clear-
ly not inflationary," and urged
Congress to override the veto.
It will take a two - thirds vote
in both the House and Senate to
override Nixon. The first try
will be Wednesday in the House,
which originated the bill.
The administration needs 145
House votes to sustain the veto.
House Republican Leader Ger-
ald R. Ford of Michigan said
the American people want it
that way. He said Nixon had
presented them a convincing
case.
Ronald L. Ziegler, the White
House press secretary, said the
administration is confident the
House will not override the
President.
Scamardo
Jury Pick
Continues
EDINBURG, Tex. (AP) —
Jury selection continued today
for the trial of a prominent Cen-
tral Texas man accused of bein;
an accomplice in the shouting
death of his longtime friend and
one -time business partner.
Peter Thomas Scamardo, 32,
of Hearne, is accused of paying
a Houston man $2,000 to kill
Sam Degelia Jr., a Hearne
grain buyer found shot to death
in the Lower Rio Grande Valley
in 1968.
The case is being heard by
Dist. Judge J. R. Alamia in
92nd District Court.
Two Houston men, Charles V.
Harrelson and Jerry 0. Watkins,
are charged with murder with
malice in the case and are to be
tried later.
Scamardo is accused of offer-
ing Harrelson $2,000 on June 13,
1968, to kill Degelia.
Although Harrelson is not on
trial in this case, his lawyer,
Percy Foreman of Houston,
handled the questioning of sev-
en prospective Jurors Monday.
Scamardo's lawyer, Thomas
G. Sharpe Jr., of Brownsville,
consulted with the famed Hous-
ton lawyer, but did not take
part in the actual questioning.
Dist. Atty. Oscar McInnis,
who has said he will seek the
death penalty for Scamardo,
surprisin ^'y accepted the first
prospective juror questioned
Monday.

Parents Are Told
By HA °RY YOUNG
Eagle Staff Writer
Ppre-its were urged rot to
manipulate their children, but
to be actualizers at the City
C o u n c i l Parent - Teachers'
Association meeting Monday
night — the third meeting in
a series of five on children and
family life.
The Rev. Henry A. Roberts,
Jr., assistant pastor of First
Presbyterian Church, and Mrs.
Alan B. Altar, special education
teacher at Crockett Elemen-
tary School, addressed a crowd
of 32 in the library of Henderson
Elementary School.
"We are all manipulators,"
Rev. Roberts said, refering to
a b o o k: "Man, The
Manipulator," by Everett L.
Shostrom. "We all exercise
control, " he continued, "thus
our infant learns to coo on cue"
and "the teenager picks up
control produ :aion from his
parent and from TV."
l,cv. R,, pointed out
several means used in exer-
cising control as:
1) An active form — con-
trolling others by aggressive
means. For Example, Mama
threatens to tell Daddy if
Daughter doesn't behave, and
daughter knows that Daddy will
popish her.
2) Passive form, where tha
battle is won by dependency.
3) Competitive type where a
child is taught to walk over
anyone to get what he wants.
4) Use of indifference.
Mr. Roberts used the example
of a mother telling her
daughter: "1 don't care what
you want Susy, I'm too busy
cooking dinner."
Rev. Roberts pointed out the

Emergency Call
System Adopted
Installation of an emergency
telephone number system was
approved Monday night by
College Station city councilmen.
The system will use 911 as the
emergency -only number.
"This makes us the first city
in the State of Texas to go to
the 911 system, which in five
y e a r s will probably be
universal," Anderson said.
Anderson said the new
system, operating through two
trunks in the central office of
the General Telephone Co. of
the Southwest, will cost the city
approximately $51 per month.
He added that complete in-
stallation will take from 18
months to two years.
"The installation takes so long
because the central office has
t be modified; each office has
to be engineered for its specific
needs." Rill Erwin, General
Telephone of the Southwest
representative, said. He added
that the system involves no
charges to the individual
citizen.
Anderson said the council
considered the matter at it;
Oct. 27, 1969 meeting, but action
was deferred to provide
to investigate the system morE
thoroughly.
"This will be an emergency
number only. It can be dialer
in the dark and a dispatcher
will be on duty 24 hours a day,"
Anderson said.
Anderson pointed out CollegE
Station had 11 house burglaries
and 34 reports of prowlers Iasi
year and that the emergenc)
number system could affeel
these problems significantly.
"With the 911 system the
is little delay in reaching the
dispatcher and there is littlE
difficulty in finding the requirec
number," Anderson said.
Councilman Dozier raised th(
question of why the number,
111 instead of 911 were not used,
"For one reason, the number
1 is employed in the Direct
Distance and Expanded Direst
Distance Dialing systems and
also nine is a generally clear
number," Erwin said.
ICS Council Eyes
City Hall Status
(Continued From Page 1)
After the city engineer's
report on the proposed sanitary
landfill project, the council'
agreed to defer action on the
proposal until a later meeting.
Lloyd James, city engineer,'
recommended the Porterfield
site to the council. He said the
site is within the Brazos River
Watershed and that it was less
likely to be polluted than tie
other two sites.
The council decided to place
t h e quit -claim deeds on
Holleman Drive on the agenda
for the next meeting. Boswell
said only four out of seven or
eight persons have signed the
deeds.
Council members approved
the application for an Economic
Development Administration
grant after a required change
was made in the growth
boundary line. The council
changed the line to extend from
Rock Prairie Road to Sebasta
Road.
The EDA grant application is
for improvements in water and
sewer systems.
Tire Clearance
Deadline Set
For March 31
Anderson agreed to appoint
two council members to work
with the city manager to study
bids on furniture for the new
city buildings.
Approval was given for in-
stallation of burglar alarm
systems for financial in-
stitutions and others in the new
police station. Anderson said the
systems would be installed with
no cost to the city.
The council approved the city
engineer's report on the
stabilization of Bee Creek. The
city engineer received the
authority to stabilize a 1,1700 foot
portion of the upstream section
each snring.

Paul Wilkinson, dealer in
used tires at the intersection of
Hwy 21 and Hwy. 6N., has until
March 31 to clear out his large
collection.
A. C. Allen, sanitarian for the
City of Bryan, filed the first
complaint against Wilkinson in
October for permitting collec-
tion of standing water inside the
tires.
Corporation Court Judge W.B.
Langford gave Wilkinson until
March to get rid of the tires
on Dec. 29, 1969.
Since December Allen has
prepared five more complaints
against Wilkinson.
Mrs. Deasie Thomsen, cor-
poration court clerk, said Judge
Langford is holding the com-
plaints to see if Wilkinson)
complies with the first order.
`Manipulation'
warning Given
(Continued From Page 1)
weakness of manipulators is
that they can never relax,
"because their particular
maneuvers require they play
roles." He states that instead
of being manipulators, they
need to become actualizers...te
be sincere." He said there
needs to be an "awareness of
needs:..to stop, look and listen."
To be an actualizer one must
expend a certain amount el
freedom and trust, " of placing
faith in another person and
being able to relate to them,"
he said.
"For manipulators," Mr.
Roberts said, "all control is
punishment." He said there
a need for accepting the chile
as he is, for accepting him for
his rightness, instead of
focusing on his wrongness.
There are several things wE
want for our children, hE
pointed out: We want them t(
have a healthy part in their
own environment; we wane
them to live effectively wit)
others; we want them 0 thini
critically and arrive at con
elusions on their own; and w(
want them to work creatively.
Children mimic, the job is t(
teach them that rather than
being just imitators they mus
learn to initiate— "We need t(
create kids to seek nev
solutions to problems," he said
Mrs. Alter, who was filling it
for Mrs. Felice Klein, th(
scheduled speaker who wag ill
spoke from what she terme(
"experience as a mother, wife
and professional teacher."
Mrs. Alter began by reading
a poem about a mother's busy
day, and emphasized "a tean
approach must be used," t(
making a home. She said th(
relationship between husban(
and wife, and the way the;
conduct themselves is o
primary importance.
There are three things tha
examples should teach, shy
said, these things coincide wit]
love, happiness and fulfilment.
"Put him on a pedestal," sh(
told the women present, and b
the men she said, "let her knov
she belongs to you.
"Couples need time b
themselves," she said, "arouni
our house, Saturday night i
date night ... for Daddy ani
Mother... that's been a standing
rule." Mrs. Alter said thei
children know their parents lov(
each other, because they cai
see it in their actions. She sal(
it is important for goo(
examples to be set at home
because it is these example:
that children follow when the}
leave home.
"Self control is one of th(
most important things you car
exercise as a parent," she said
"If you don't want a child t(
do something, don't you do it,'
she said, adding that a paren
must use "consistent disciplinE
given with love and care."
Mrs. Alter pointed out the
need for faith. She said th(
family Bible always stays in the
middle of her dining room table,
There must be common
courtesy between child ant
parent, she said. "Admit you're
not perfect. Use a sense of
humor.
She said parents muss
e x e r c i s e control, usin€
deprivation as punishment, Witt
whippings only as a last resort
"We're paying the freight," sh(
tells her children, "as long a,
Daddy and Mother are taking
all the bills in, we're sayinj
what's happening."
