Commissioners, by Paul C.
Braun, (district attorney),
attorney for defendant.
Preceding this latest motion,
on Wednesday, May 21, a list
of 52 questions was submitted to
the commissioners by Childers,
representing Mrs. Foster. Judge
Criswell granted permission for
the questions to be filed in
district court.
Answers to the questions were
required within 15 days.
In previous action on the
redistricting matter, Judge
Criswell had “expunged from
record” his order naming the
committee and he had given the
commissioners until Aug. 11 to
answer the original writ of
mandamus. Judge Criswell
explained following this action,
that his order was “expunged”
from record, but his findings
(read in court on May 2)
remained the same.
The findings read in part:
“That the plan submitted by
the respondents I the county
GM had issued the warning
statement after the Department
of Transportation had informed
the company that it would oth-
erwise publicly demand such
notification under the federal
highway safety law.
But Brenner said the depart-
ment is still testing the vehicle
and wheel and has not yet de-
cided whether it is basically de-
fective.
And there’s nothing in the
law, he said, to compel the man-
ufacturer to pick up the tab.

DENTON, Tex. AP -This
North Texas college town sat on
the edge of terror today after an
auto collision developed into a
fight between a Negro airman
and a white policeman that left a
black coed critically wounded by
an officer’s bullet.
At least nine persons were
wounded. Most were college
students and most were treated
and released.

state's famed crime fighters-
