Andropov reiterated that

also that the East bloc will

to anyone to stage a trial of

Smith County last year
received an estimated 317.4
million in spending by U.S.
travelers, a national study
commissioner by the Texas
Tourist Development Agency
has disclosed.
Its rate of growth, 17 per-
cent over 1981 receipts, was
eight percent over that for the
state as a whole.
The travel study, done by
the U.S. Travel Data Center
in Washington, D.C., found
that the county last year had
2*1 travel-related jobs, with a
payroll estimated at $2.8
million.
It also realized an
estimated *11* thousand in
local and county taxes paid
by travelers.
The study measures the
economic impact of all over-
night trips and day trips at
least 100 miles from home.
Thus it includes spending by
Texans as well as by out-of-
state visitors. Trips for all
purposes are in the picture

Police waiting for
swallowed ring
CWESSPKAKX, Va. (AP) - A
woman accused of swallowing a
stolen $8,000 ring was in jail today
under watch by officers trying to
recover the diamond-studded band,
which showed up in an X-ray of her
digestive system.
Pamela Jane Perkins, 21, of Nor-
folk, has bssn charged with grand
larceny of the ring and another $400
ring that was found In her mouth. She
is being held on 110* 000 bond.
Police said Ms. Perkins admitted
swallowing the ring, a sapphire stone
flanked by two 1%-carat diamonds
owned by her employer, when she was
arrested Tuesday night. An X-ray
taken at Chesapeake General
Hospital showed a ring in her
digestive system.
"There's no problem. It’s just it
hasn't passed,” Police Sgt. C.R.
Schafer said. He said police probably
would request a second X-ray today.
Capt. Claude A. Stafford, assistant
chief correctional officer for the
Chesapeake Jail, said jail officials
questioned the legality of keeping Ms.
Perkins in custody with only a bedpan
