scrimmages, one good, one so-'

for some real.bullets. Against
Georgetown, Jackets looked
julck ar.rt fine. Lots of splash.
Blit against a weaker Bandera
crew'things weren't as sharp..,.
Defense had a few break-
dowris hut tr, early part of the1
season, the option Is hard" to
recognize. It 'Should have be^n
real good work for the unit. .
Offense also showed up. Pass-

did7 r e c e l v ers. Break awaj-
—speed rvppenrs~trr-hp—present; ~
Mason, on the other hand,
we’ve heart), handled Frede-
rteksburg with no trouble. So
looks like first contest couldt*
another great, opening Season
classic. One of those games
where both units are expected
to do fine things. But an open-
ing victory assure.* one of
easier times ahead. Look for
this game to remind us of 1971
year. ,~

Can’t you see the poor fellow

3AAA unit would show some

Brady icrl mmaged Lam-

good source, Brady shut Jones
and company down except for
one long run. Bulldogs will be a
team to watcli, especially this
week as they go against number

'■i e*H start off slow this year.
I'll pick only the hard ones so as

to compete. Well, anyway, here

\us! m -When sojTieone
owes $10,000 in delinquent
. sales' taxes, yo.O can be~ sure
it's no Mom-and-Pop
operation. __ ' ,
Delinquent taxes of
510,000 represents $200,000
While $200,000 ip sales
doesn't make one a business
giani,' it’s plenty big enough
to expect the business to be
run properly, its book kept in
order and its taxes paid.
I ' point this out to
emphasize tha( in our current •
crackdown on delinquents we
are not. picking on “the little
guys." The figures speak tor
themselves:
Between May 7 and
August 15 we shut down 31
retail operations whose sales
lax delinquencies totaled
SI.I million. That represents-
522. million m total taxable
■sales-or an average ot
$710,000 in sales each- This
is not small potatoes.
Look at some of the
individual cases which go into
making -iha! average a San
Antonio ,hquoi dealer owed
more than $400,000 in
delinquent taxes and had
inventories on1 hand worth
twice that. A Waco appliance
■dealer owed $112,000, a
Dallas concrete firm $H 1.202.
~a Houston area pharnlacs
chain $b4,(K)0 and an Austin
lire dealer $47,000.
B> the same token, we did •
shut down some “small''
operations who owed less
than S 10,000- and I don’t
apologize oi feel any need to
explain. It is very simple.that •

This is sou; money,

To let it “ride” only means

We will bring into the state,

satisfactory rp a y of f
arrangements with us and
have /been allowed to reopen.
’ This is particularity true of
Hie "smaller” operations One
Houston restaurant shelled
out $9*500 cash in S100 bills
oh the spot to keep its doors
open. Since they had the
money. I don’t know wh\
they let themselves go

yea is' .A drug, store in
Houston handed us S7.000

hank to pay up and ,stav

The .Austin trie dealer gave
' irs SI 2.000 in cash, agreed to
pav $2,000 a month and put
up a bond to reopen his
busmexs.
I think that when the
average working man and
woman looks at these figures
it is clear that wc aren’t
talking about “little people”.
Kven so. the mishandling ol a
small amount of the public’s
money is just as bad ay the
mishandling of a large
amount, The law is equal and
uniform! regardless of size,
and I intend to see it
e n IT) r c c d equally and
uniformly.
Beyond the $1 I million
worth ol delinquencies we
have had to seize, our
crackdown has had good
results with literally hundreds
ot -accounts which were on
■the borderline of being
seized ' !,
Hie loimei owner ol a
fialveston-aie'a supei market
came up w ith $ I 5.000 lor his
back taxes because lie knew*,
we could get a judgment on “
his present properly. A.
Houston delinquent “just,

to him and lie voluntarily
paid $5 5,000 due. (He was

* AUSTIN—Early fall is a
time when many Texans are
trying to locate an apartment,
duplex, or house to rent
‘v . And many persons may be
depending on getting some
professional assistance with
the job of finding a suitable
spot that fits their pocketbook
from a rental listing agency
Our Attorney General’s
Consumer Protection Division
suggests that the selection of a
rental listing agency be made
with care, since reports from
other states indicate that some
consumers have had problems
involving misleading or decep-
tive trade practices in dealing
with a few such firms
Rental listing agencies operr
ate by charging a fee to per-
sons who want to gain access
to their special listings of ren-
tal property, since most such
agencies obtain exclusive con-
tracts with owners to advertise
and rent their property.
Some rental listing services
specialize in property in cer-
tain areas of town Others •
specialize in certain types of
rental units, such as efficiency
apartments, luxury town-
houses. or duplex units
Thus persons interested
only in certain types of rent
.....property or property only in a
certain location, may. save a
great,deaf of time and effort
they might otherwise have
sjient in looking at property
that doesn't meet their needs
or wants by dealing with a list-
ing agency
Real estate advertisements *
placed in the newspapers by
such rental listing agencies -

Several officers will be in
Austin Friday, Sept. 5, toattend
an officers meeting. •
A new contest has been start-
ed with members pledging to
lose a certain amount of weight
during the coming months
may sound like ads placed by
owners or real estate brokers,
except that the agency name,
and sometimea the stipulation
“fee,'' may appear in the ad
Problems for some con-
sumers have involved |6ual
listing afendea that operate in
such a way that consumers
sometimes pay a fee to. get in-
formation the^could have ot*„
tained free
Our Consumer Protection
attorneys have learned that
some rental listing agencies
charge customers from S20 to
S30 to check (heir “exclusive
listings,’’ when those listings
amount to nothing more than
a duplicate of newspaper ad
clippings
Other persons have been at-
tracted by a listing agency's ad-
vertisement for a particularly
appealing property, visited the
agency, and agreed to pay the
required fee in order to get
more information about the
listing
It’s only then that they have
, discovered the properly
they're interested in is “no
longer available,” or that the
' ad misrepresented the quality
or size of the apartment,
duplex, or house
Consumers who have such
problems with a rental listing
agency should contact the At-
torney General's Consumer
Protection Division, the coun-
ty or district attorney, or the
* local Better Business Bureau
And our Consumer Protec-
tion attorneys remind con-
sumers that rnanj^ resources
are available fix shopping for
rent property. Friends, rela-
tives, and classified ads can
supply information about
possible apartments or houses
Antf dome landlords pay the
fee themselves to list their
rent property with »Teal estate
broker who then advertises it

The Birch Log
7 Consigning Millions To Slavery
by John F. McManus
Heimont, Massachusetts — Thirty-five heads of
state from Europe and North America gathered
in Helsinki, Finland, in late July. After three
solid days of puffed-up rhetoric and assorted
attempts at one-upmanship, each put his sig-
nature to a declaration on “Questions Relating
to the Security of Europe." The document
ahould have been called “Carte Blanche For
Communist Conquest."
- #
Remember Captive Nations Week?
Not too many years ago, whoever sat in the
White .House annually proclaimed “Captive
Nations Week."-Statement* from top U.S. offi-
cials accompanied parades and speeches all .
across our land as recent immigrants and refu-
gees from Communist-held nations joined other
Americans in insisting that newly enslaved
states would never be abandoned
But "Captive Nations Week" is a thing of the
past, largely a victim of the new spirit of "de-
tente " Some, thank God, prefer instead to call
"detente" what it is, a dishonorable compro-
mise with murderous tyrants.
What Happened At Helsinki
The Helsinki document itself was virtually
unintelligible. (One individual who helped to
compose it said: “You are not supposed to
understand it. Neither do we, and what’s more,
we meant it that way.") Nevertheless, its true
significance was not lost in all the glitter and
Verbosity. For, ultimately, the Helsinki declara-
tion amounts to an acceptance of'the Commu-
nist absorption of Lithuania, Latvia. «nd Esto-
nia; recognition of a divided Germany; and lags!
approval of the Communist domination of tha
whole eastern half of Europe. In return, the
West gained absolutely nothing., It was quite a

day for the Reds, and the free world knew, ill
Reflecting the attitude of many nations not
invited to the massive sellout, the Buenos Aires
newspaper La Opinion headlined an article
about the proceedings "Brezhnev Has Won
What The Soviet Union Could Not Gain On
The Battlefield In 1945 ”
They Must Be Laughing At Ua
During his speech prior to the signing, Soviet
boea Leonid Brezhnev had the gall to state that
“no one should try to dictate to other peoples
. . the manner in which they ought to manage
their internal affairs ” Ar#honorable person
would have refuted to listen to such hypocrisy,
remembering the bloody suppressions of pitiful
attempts made in East Germany, Poland. Hun-
gary, and Czechoalovakia to break awav from
Soviet domination. But honorable per were
neither present in Helsinki nor int be
present.
President Ford atood up the day after Brezh-
nev and scolded the Soviet Union for breaking
p«st agreements But he need not fear that tha
Reda will break thia one They have actively
pursued it since 1954. Their victory must have
been accompanied by galea of laughter.
The Captive Peoples Will Be Told
Though official Washington glowingly heralds
thia newest shameful deed as an extension of
“dBtente,” it is still black treachery While
calling it progress, President Ford has consigned
millions of persons and dozens of nations to
continued alavery. And though the majority of
the American people are kept unaware of hia
sellout, you can be sure that the Soviet Union
will tell its captives. What better way to destroy
their l^st lingering hope of freedom!
