AUSTIN, Texas I API - The Senate
has balked at considering a bill that
would require embalming of corpses
if not disposed of within 24 hours of
death.
The controversial bill, which op-
ponents say is just a way to give
undertakers bigger profits, failed by
four votes, 13-12, to get the required
two-thirds majority to suspend the
rules Wednesday
“I thought we had the votes today. I
don’t know what happened,” said Sen.
Grant Jones, D-Abilene.
Sen. Lloyd Doggett, D-Austin, a con-
sistent foe of mandatory embalming
on the grounds that it is costly and un-
necessary. said he is not convinced
the bill is finished.
"I wish I could say that, but I think
they will try again and again to bring
it up," he said.
A 1953 State Health Department
rule said bodies kept more than 24
hours had to be refrigerated or em-
balmed. Doggett won passage of a law
in 1979 that barred agencies from issu-
ing such rules unless public health re-
quires them.
State Health Commissioner Robert
Bernstein then ruled embalming is
not necessary for health reasons.
"I don’t know of any disease which
would be affected by embalming," he
said at the tune.
DALLAS I API — A Denison woman

preferable to a military con-

It can be argued that the
American embargo did not
really hurt the Soviets; they
managed to buy 32 million
metric tons of grain, anyway
And while it’s difficult to
compute the cost to American
taxpayers and American
farmers, it probably hurt us
as much as it pinched the
Soviets

Officers said a 9mm pistol was

at the rear of an apartment complex.
Officers were unable to determine
how long the car had been parked

AUSTIN, Texas I API - What was
intended as one small step for Larry
Amberson wound up as a 10-foot stride
— straight down into a manhole where
he spent seven hours
Amberson, 20, had just watched his
hometown Houston Rockets lose a
basketball playoff game on television
when the underground ordeal began
"I had parked my car and was
walking to another friend’s house,
took a step and I was down in a deep,
dark hole,” the University of Texas
student said.
The 10-foot deep manhole was
covered when work stopped at the
Red River Street site on Tuesday, ac-
cording to workers. No one knows who
lifted the lid and left the hole opened.
Amberson, for one, would like to
know.
“If I ever catch him. I’ll kill him,"
he said.
Amberson said he struggled
valiantly to free himself, but, "It was
like trying to climb out of a Coke bot-
tle."
The manhole is narrow at the top
but opens to about four feet wide at
the bottom. Condensation on the con-
crete lining in the hole prevented his
escape. At various times during the
underground ordeal, Amberson tried
to use his belt, shoes and pants to free
himself.
Austin police were contacted after
someone heard Amberson’s yells for
help. The fire department showed up
to complete the 7 a.m. rescue
“A nurse heard me yelling for help
and I guess she called the police," he
said. "She probably heard me through
her toilet."

HOUSTON (AP). A 32-year-old
Houston man who allegedly sent a
note demanding 8300.000 through a
pneumatic tube to a drive-in bank
teller has been sentenced to 10 yean
in prison.
Claudis Joe Latson was sentenced
Wednesday by the jury that earlier
convicted him in the Nov. 1 robbery of
the Oak Forest National Bank.
Assistant District Attorney Chuck
Rosenthal said the note, scrawled on
the back of a deposit slip from another
bank, ordered the teller to put the
money in a sack and send it back to
him.
"I have two men with guns on you
now and two men inside," the note
said.
Rosenthal claimed the defendant at-
tempted to escape but his car stalled.
Defense attorney John F. Hirling
argued his client was innocent
because the teller really was never
placed in fear of bodily injury or
death.
