A Texas AFL-CIO official says he has asked the Governors
Committee on human relations and the Texas advisory committee && to the U.S. Civil Rights Commission to hold hearings in politically strife- torn Mathis, Texas. Henry Munoz, Jr. of San Antonio said he requested the hearings in telegrams sent to state officials. Mathis has been torn by controversy since the fatal shooting of Dr. Fred E. Logan, Jr. by a deputy sheriff during what officials said was a struggle after Logans arrest. Almost 1,000 Mexican-Americans attended Logans funeral in Mathis last week. Published reports say a rally to protest his death is planned in Mathis Tuesday night. Logan operated a clinic at Mathis and acquaintences say he worked closely with mexican-americans. -0- The sear cont nues today or fi escaped p tients from the Rusk S ate Ho5pital - a 1 cons ered extrem ly dan erous and believed armed with gun continued today n heavily wooded a a near Rusk, in East Texas.
