Richardson Foundation's payment of $225,000 to Connally between 1966 and 1969. The newspaper contended Connally had consistently denied, in answer to reporters' queries while he was governor, that he got compensation from anyone or any foundation or performed any services outside his job of governor.

At a two-hour, 25-minute Finance Committee hearing last Thursday, no one asked ConnalIly about his ties to Richardson, a millionaire oilman who hired him in 1951 and whose estate he helped administer. The Richardson Foundation got most of its $86 million in assets from the estate in 1962. After reading the Times story, Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield suggested the committee might want to reopen its hearings. Sen. William Proxmire, D- who earlier sent his own investigators into Texas to probe Connally's finances, set forth specific questions he wants Connally to answer before the Senate debates his nomination.

HAIR (Continued From Page 1) ships would get a little upset about having to share." Jackson retired in 1930. His health is frail, but his eyes still sparkle, he has most of his hair and a flourishing mustache. He eats three squares a day and has a nightly nip of brandy. Jackson lives in a comfortable two-story house across the street from a golf course in this San Diego suburb. He watches a lot of television.

His favorites: underwater adventure shows and travelogues. "The only things he has missed in the last few years have been the three G's he has always lived by- -golf, gardening and gallivanting all night," says Charles Bucey, the admiral's aide for 30 years. "We took his bike away when he was 91," says Bucey's wife, Claire, who keeps house for Jackson. "He was getting too reckless and kept going through stop signs." Date From NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.

Whitfield, who was sentenced by U.

S. Dist. Court Judge J. Clifford Wallace, had pleaded guilty Dec. 15 to robbing the Bank of America branch last March.

He was charged along with Stephen Francis Phillips, also of Victoria, with the robbery. A federal judge has ruled Phillips as incompetent to stand trial and ordered him to federal hospital in Missouri for psychiatric treatment, The Associated Press said. Investigators said a yearold boy was held hostage during the stickup, but he was released shortly afterwards and returned unharmed to his parents. A sheriff's report at the time of the bank robbery indicated that the men did not display a weapon, but told bank officials that they would kill the boy's brother unless they got cooperation. Whitfield and Phillips were arrested June 2 by the FBI, Whitfield being apprehended in (the Dallas Phillips suburb being of nabbed Garland in Houston.

ECONOMY (Continued From Page 1) private economists. The CEA acknowledged this conflict. "There is a considerable body of opinion that expects the GNP for 1971 to be in range between $1.045 trillion and $1.050 trillion, which would be an increase 7 to 7.5 per cent above that of 1970," the report said. "This is a possible outcome. However, it seems more likely that with present policies, the outcome would be higher than that and could be as high as $1.065 trillion.

To achieve its sharp growth projection, the administration has proposed a 1972 federal budget with a $11.6 billion deficit. This deficit, combined with the recently announced relaxation of rules for businesses to deduct depreciation charges from their taxis estimated at a nine per cent stimulus, according to CEA Chairman Paul W. McCracken. The rest of the required stimulus is expected to come from a eased money policy administered by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. "The key to economic policy in 1971 is orderly expansion," Nixon said in his report.

"While continuing to reduce the rate of inflation, total spending and total output should rise as rapidly as possible to lift the and economy full to full employment The President cited six "forces now present in the economy" which make growth in 1971 tied These include three elements to money policy, the availabilty or mortgage funds, improved financing conditions for state and local governments, lower interest rates; an increase i in individuals' after-tax income; the post strike activity in the auto industry, and an increase in export sales. "These are powerful upward pressures," Nixon asserted, "but existing and foreseeable expansionary forces in the economy are not strong enough assure that output will rise much as is desired and feasible. 'These forces must, therefore, be supplemented by expansive fiscal and monetary policies." Nixon reiterated his opposition to formal wage and price controls to combat inflation. He also rejected informal controls guidelines which he describas, "an elaborate facade that seems to be wage and price controls but is not." for most vania hills.

-Formally approved plans of Victoria Boys Club to construct a swimming pool 75 feet long by 35 feet wide on the west side of the old National Guard armory on Pine Street, complete with bathhouses. A formal contract, including provisions for liability insurance and for the pool to revert to the city should the club cease to operate it, will be adopted later. Fred Sanford, boys club president, said it is hoped the pool will be in operation by early summer. "We have taught 1,500 boys to swim in the past three years and we expect to teach another 500 this summer." he said, adding that "we expect about boys, addition a day to to those use being the taught pool" to swim. -Approved a change order in bond program Contract 4B to complete replace an existing sanitary sewer line in the southeast part of the city at an additional cost of $59,309.05.

Royce McDonald of Lockwood. Andrews and Newnam, consulting engineers, said the original plan was to add a 12- inch line to supplement an exlisting 18-inch line which was installed about 1935. A series of inspections has shown the old line to be badly deteriorated, he said, and, should be abandoned in favor of a new 21-inch line. He suggested that the old line be left in place, but that it be pumped full of concrete so that it will not collapse under proposed new paving. -Approved proposed new speed limits on Highway 59, submitted by the Texas Highway Department.

These call for a 50-mph limit from Goldman Hill to the city limits; 40 mph to the Guadalupe River bridge, and 30 mph to Azalea Drive on Houston highway. At that point, the limit would increase to 40 mph to Duncan Street where it would increase to 50 mph. This zone would extend to just beyond Delmar Drive where the limit would rise to 60 mph. -Referred to the administration and the police department a request for a traffic light at Colorado and Laurent streets. Councilman John Stockbauer said he has received "several requests for some kind of traffic control at the i intersection," and after study has noted that "sometimes its almost impossible" to enter Laurent Street from businesses and side streets.

Councilman T. H. Evans opposed the suggestion saying that it would defeat the purpose of the thoroughfare- -to move traffic rapidly- and that "if you put up a. light everywhere someone asks for one, you'd have lights all over Evans said he had received the same request from "a banker" but that he does not feel the signal is justifies "just for the convenience of the bank.

"About the same for me," said Shepard. "I slept soundly four or five hours and then intermittently for another two." Roosa chimed in: "I'll say got five hours." Then he joked, "My mattress was hard." Although the world was kept in suspense on whether Apollo 14 would land on the moon, there apparently was no doubt in the astronauts' minds when they settled down for a 10-hour rest period early Monday.

Newsmen at the space center were informed of the landing go ahead decision at 3 p.m. CST. They expected the good news would be relayed to the astronauts when they were awakened shortly after 5 p.m. But this was not the case. Asked why the astronauts were not told, a NASA spokesman said that after they had examined the docking mechanism before retiring and finding nothing wrong, they were confident they would land.

However, before the mechanism had been thoroughly examined, the space agency flight would director have had said the agency to be convinced that the docking mechanism was satisfactory. At a news conference Monday, Mission Director Chester Lee firmly announced an sive analysis of the docking mechanism uncovered no problem now but failed to explain why it did not operate properly Sunday. He said the mission would continue as planned. "We're proceeding with every intention of making a full lunar landing mission." said Lee. "We can find nothing wrong with the (docking) probe.

We are confident now that the docking probe is good." City Audit Presented To Council The annual financial report representing the audit of city fiscal affairs for the fiscal year 1970, which ended on Sept. 30, was presented to members of City Council at its session Monday. City Manager John Lee said the audit, prepared by Alexander Grant and Co. of San Antonio (formerly Pope, Spillers- and Co.) arrived shortly before council convened. In the letter of transmittal, the firm stated that the "financial statements as listed.

The stock was pledged as collateral for the loan at SSB. Subsequently, the SEC charged, the defendants caused to finance their ownership of But as a result of criticism from bank regulatory authorities, the loan was moved to Sharpstown State Bank. It was this criticism, the SEC said, which caused Sharp to begin looking for ways to change the state's banking laws.

"He (Sharp) therefore suggested to (John) Osorio that a bill be introduced in the Legislature creating a statechartered insurance corporation to insure state banks," the SEC memorandum said. "Osorio and (Waggoner) Carr's (legal) firm drafted such a bill, and it was introduced in the House in September 1969 at a special session of the Legislature. "Prior to the introduction of the bill," the SEC noted, "the Sharpstown State Bank loaned large sums of money to T. C. Shannon, the legislator sponsoring the bill; Gus Mutscher the Speaker of the House; Dr.

Argyle McLachlan to take condemnation action to abrogate a "right-of-entry" reservation made when the city, obtained 12 acres of property from Bart J. Dillon for a new sewer plant site on Loop 175. McLaughlan noted that the owner, with city approval, retained mineral rights and right-entry.

Later, the Urban Department of Housing and Development objected to the right-ofentry reservation. HUD is providing some of the funds for the new sewer plant. -Estimated it would take "at least a year" to complete drainage and paving in Mayfair Subdivision, even if there was no problem with property owners along Lone Tree Creek concerning drainage through that channel. This was in answer to questions posed by Ray Pilsner, a Mayfair resident. Pilsner was told, also, that work will continue on the drainage and paving, but that litigation involving Lone Tree Creek propetry owners could go on for two years or more.
