BANGKOK. Thailand (AP) -
Soviet ships unloaded missiles and
radar equipment at the Vietnamese
port of Haiphong and China launched
air strikes deep into Vietnam to
destroy the Russian supplies before
they could reach the battlefield, Thai
intelligence sources said today

on Thursday, shortly after the Soviets
ships began their deliveries. The

Regent Kenneth May of Lubbock
was asked by the board to draw up a
resolution stating the board's position
to be submitted for a formal vote to
regents at their regular meeting this
morning.
"The board support was very strong
for the idea of keeping TCOM." May-
said after the executive session
EE Stuessy, an NTSC regent from
Austin, admitted he told Rep Lewis
Tuesday he was in favor of moving
TCOM to the CT system But Thur-
sday he voted with the other regents in
the executive session to try to keep
TCOM under NTSC's control
When you've got eight members,
why not make it unanimous'’ It's not
that important to me," Stuessy said,
when asked why he voted as he did
But he said he still thinks the LT
system would be more qualified to
handle the osteopathic college
During the executive session,
regents said they also discussed
recent rumors of a pending request
for NTSC President CC Nolens
resignation, but Regent Hugh Wolfe
said after the session that the board is
behind Nolen "100 percent "
Board Chairman A M Willis said.

Compiled from staff and wire reports
Parts of Denton County were pelted
by a brief — but heavy — hailstorm
Thursday night, which covered the
ground in some areas but apparently
caused no damage
Denton. Pilot Point, Krum and
Sanger all reported marble-sized hail
for a period of about 20 minutes last
night, with Denton recording 55 inch
of rain and Krum reporting 9 of an
inch
Forecasters were calling for clear
skies and cooler temperatures today
in Denton, although the National
Weather Service predicted more
scattered showers and thunderstorms
for East Texas
A tornado was sighted during the
night near Bonham, but there were no
reports of damage
Early morning temperatures were
warm, ranging from the 30s in the
Panhandle to the 60s and 70s in South
Texas Extremes ranged from 29 at
Dalhart to 72 at McAllen
Other early morning readings in-
cluded 33 at Amarillo, 50 at Wichita

where one Chinese force crossed the
border last Saturday.
The Chinese were entrenched in
positions on hills three miles inside
Vietnam overlooking Dong Dang, with
Vietnamese batteries on the hills
facing them on the other side of the
village, intelligence sources id
Bangkok said Thursday
The Chinese put another regiment
of reinforcements into the Dong Dang
area Wednesday, the sources said.
Some of the regents polled earlier
this week said they had heard rumors
alleging they were going to ask for
Nolen's resagnation, but knew of no
such prospective action
The resignation rumors were
reportedly part at a broader dispute
that some members expected to
evolve into a power struggle that

inflation fighter, Alfred Kahn, and
other administration officials holding
baseball bats at a St Louis meeting
held to drum up support for Carter's
program
Did you see that?" Meany said
"Oh, yes. great big baseball bats . ■
That sort of brought the thing home 2
One AFL-CIO attorney said he
expected that if the federation wins in
U S. District Court, "the case could go
to the Supreme Court pretty quickly "
Meany, one of Carter's harshest
critics on economic policies, argued
that under voluntary programs
employers are eager to hold down
wage increases, but not price in-
creases -— -------———
Instead, the federation has called
for mandatory controls that would
guarantee what it says would be equal
sacrifices by workers and employers
in the fight for inflation
"We don't want any controls," said
Meany, a strong advocate of a
economy free of government controls
But after Carter "imposed these
voluntary controls, we said. ‘All right,
you want to have controls? Do the
whole job Give us mandatory con-
trols by an act of Congress."’
In 1974, when the Nixon ad*
ministration phased out mandatory
wage-price controls. Congress passed
a law barring controls
The AFL-CIO emphasized that if it
should win the suit, it cannot prevent
the administration from pursuing its
program without the threat of con-
tract denials

Abbott said members of the new
volunteer fire department moved the
fire equipment, with the assistance of
a couple of wrecker drivers. from a*
barn tn Denton County to the city fire
station in Frisco
The legal papers on the injunction
were served by the Denton County

outgoing fire department "
---Depunesftrom Denton County went
to the barn at about 6 15 p m Thur-

Hoping to kick the teeth out of
President Carter s voluntary wage-
price guidelines, organized labor will
ask a federal judge to declare the
program illegal on grounds it's a
mandatory program in disguise
AFL-CIO President George Meany,
charging Carter is overstepping his
authority, said Thursday his
federation will file suit in federal
court within a ifew weeks to prove that
Carter's anti-inflation guidelines
violate a 1974 law prohibiting man-
datory wage-price controls.
"We think that's illegal, most
lawyers feel that it's illegal, the
employers think that it's illegal."
Meany said at this ocean resort city
where the federation's leaders are
meeting.
The suit will challenge the only
“teeth" in the anti-inflation program
the demal of government contracts
worth 85 million or more to companies
that fail to comply with wage-price
ceilings
Carter wnts wage and fringe
benefit increases held to 7 percent a
year or over the life of a contract, and
a slowdown in price increases to
reduce inflation — 9 percent last year
Tom Joyce, a spokesman for the
administration's inflation-monitoring
agency, sf in Washington that "the
Justine Department has advised us
that the program is legal " -
Meany sees it differently. At a news
conference, the 84-year-old labor
leader referred to a newspaper
