accrued through Nov 8.
"We all agreed that this
would be the best thing,” he
said. "This was mainly what
the Indian tribes and the In-
dian people wanted. They
don't want any non-Indians
telling them what to do."
Fifer said the appointment
of Apodaca was the first step
in the commission’s plan to
turn administration of the
tribes totally over to Indiana.

A large number of football fans. anxious to see the
Hereford Whitefaces in action, travelled to Clovis Friday
night to watch the scrimmage session.
Most fans were pleased with the Whitefaces potential,
but it's too early to predict how the team will fare in the
battles of District 3-AAAAA. One thing for sure, it will be a
hostile, hustlin' Herd" that will make us proud.
While we’d like to see another championship team,
eager fans should remember that last year’s 13-1 team,
which made it into the finals, was a long time coming. The
odds are that it won’t happen again this year, but we can
dream and we can support our young athletes ... win or
lose.

Rep Kent Hance pulled off a surprise victory last week
with the announcement that disaster payments to area
farmers would be increased substantially What made it
more surprising was that USDA offices had just received
notices that no increases were coming.
We have a hunch that Rep Hance had to do some com-
promising on this one. The day before he announced the
increases on disaster payments. Hance voted for the
President's tax bill.
This is pure speculation, but we doubt that those
disaster payments would have been increased if Hance
had cast a negative vote on the tax bill
We re not questioning the wisdom of our representative,
if it did happen that way Compromise is an oft-used word
in the halls of Congress, and often it means swapping
votes to the advantage of your constitutuents. And, it’s a
lot easier to vote for a bill you don't like if you can see that
passage is eminent, and a "yea" could earn you points
down the line.
Sarpalius Fete
Set Sept. 9
Supporters of State Sen. Bill Sarpalius of
Hereford will have a re-election party for the

Amarillo will co-emcee the evening. That pair

Fun Breakfasts each month.
The highlight of the evening’s entertainment

ner will be selected by a vote of those in atten-

NEW YORK (AP) -
America's wealthiest person
has a wallet so fat that he
could lose a cool billion —
with a "b" - on i single bad
venture and still come out
richer than Rockefeller.
Forbes magazine has come
up with the Forbes 400 — a
list of who’s got it, and who’s
got more, when it comes to
money. The illustrated list
takes up 86 pages of the
magazine's Sept. 13 issue
Who is the wealthiest
American’’ Forbes says it's
Daniel K. Ludwig, 85. a resi-
dent of New York City who
made his money in shipping.
Of the lop 12, five are sons
and daughters of legendary
Texas oil man H.L. Hunt. The
rest of the list is a mix of well-
known names — it takes both
hands to count the du Ponts —
and those who somehow
avoided the limelight, despite
their money.
It's no longer fashionable to
flaunt wealth, the Great
Depression having nixed
that, and "a majority of the
people on it would have
preferred not to be listed,"
Forbes said. So it relied on
estimates and a score of
business executives and jour-
nalists to come up with what
it called a “tentative rather
than authoritative" list.
Ludwig, however, built his
fortune in the 1930s by taking
contracts he had arranged to
ship oil for the seven biggest
oil companies and using them
as collateral for loans to build
the ships. He built the first
supertankers, at lower cost in
Japan, and is now "buying
savings and loans," the
magazine said.
He sank (a) probably
unrecoverable $1 billion into
i an ) Amazon jungle pulp em-
pire.” Forbes said, but "his
net worth is still above $2
billion."
Aside from Ludwig, those
in the top 12 who did not make
their money in oil are Forest
Mars Sr., 78, ranked seventh-
richest, and David Packard.
70. who ranked 11th.
Mars runs the world’s
largest confections company.
M&M Mars Inc His net worth
was put at $1 billion.
Packard, starting with $538 in
capital and a small garage,
built what became Hewlett-
lions "There has been no of-
fer of immunity," Scott said.
Williams is undergoing
psychiatric treatment, Scott
said.
Williams said he left
Washington after serving as a
page for seven months
because of a drinking pro-
blem. “I was becoming an
alcoholic, and I was scared of
it," he said. All my life I’ve
had to lead a dual role I've
had to pretend I was
heterosexual when I had
homosexual feelings."
Williams said he admitted
lying Thursday while being
questioned at DeGray Lake
near Arkadelphia, Ark., by
two investigators for the
ethics committee
"The gentlemen gave mt
an outing to say this isn’t
true," Williams said. "I could
no longer live with the
fraud."
Last Sunday. Williams was
arrested for public intoxica-
tion after patrons at a movie
theater complained that a
man was spitting in their
