Farm Aid II may be In Texas
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Although some details remain to be work-
ed out, officials say singer Willie Nelson’s Farm Aid II benefit con-
cert probably will be at Memorial Stadium on the University of
Texas campus.
The concert, a benefit for family farmers in economic trouble, will
be July 4 in combination with Nelson's annual Fourth of July Picnic.
A spokesman for the Texas Department of Agriculture, which will
sponsor the event, said Thursday that a proposal submitted to UT
System regents by Nelson and Agriculture Commissioner Jim
Hightower was approved last week.
Andy Welch, Agriculture Department information officer, said no
contract has been signed with UT because such details as security,
ticket sales, concessions and insurance have not been resolved.
Shannon Ratliff, a UT regent, confirmed that regents gave ten-
tative approval to allow Nelson to use Memorial Stadium.
Welch said Nelson and Hightower plan to announce the agreement
with UT and to provide further details about the concert in about two
weeks. Both were out of town Thursday and could not be reached for
comment.

HOUSTON (AP) — Interest in machine guns has increased since
the U.S. House of Representatives passed and sent to the Senate a
bill that would ban the automatic weapons, but some gun dealers say
they doubt it will mean more sales.
"There is more interest. I have had more phone calls, but sales of
machine guns do not boom because of the complications involved in
sMUWfthem,” said Houston gun dealer Wallace Gorman.
— The high cost, lengthy application process and extensive paper-
work is enough to put off most of the curious caUers interested in
buying machine guns, said Houston gun dealer Wallace Gorman.
The proposal now before the Senate calls for the ban of future sales
of machine guns, but would allow people already owning registered
machine guns to keep their weapons.
"Prices are going up 200 to 400 percent because of this,” said Ar-
thur May, a gun dealer.
Newest data from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms in
Washington indicates 8,316 machine guns were registered in Texas
in 1981. A 1981 report showed Texas leading the nation in machine
gun dealers with 210.
Federal law requires the signature of the local U.S. attorney,
district attorney, sheriff, police chief, U.S. marshal or director of the
Texas Department of Public Safety on an application for a machine
gun.

Small town quiet after violence
Iq b
HOLLIDAY, Texas (AP) — The justice of the peace in this North
Texastown of about 1,500 said she was not surprised by an outbreak
of violenee that Included the firebombing of two businesses, slashing
of tires, and obstruction of fire department vehicles.
There-also were unconfirmed reports of shots being fired in
downtown Holliday after dawn Thursday morning.
“That'S just something we live with,” said Bettye O. Tanner,
whose stre was gutted by a fire started when someone pried
plywood from a window and tossed in two fire bombs.
The town spent Thursday night under a council-declared state of
emergency (after firebombings and other early-morning violence ap-
parently aimed at law enforcement officials.
“It’s just unreal what’s happening to our little town,” Mrs. Tanner
said while her business burned. “This will probably ruin me.”
Mrs. Tanner said that even though she and police officers have had
their lives threatened several times in the last eight months, she said
she does not believe the acts of violence were retaliation against her
as a judge.
The threats have been coming since some drug arrests were made
in Holliday last year, she said.

HOUSTON (AP) — The director of the Taiwan Government Infor-
mation Office says the reason his country’s trading has increased is
because of the government's stress on education.
“Local governments spend a large portion of their budget on
education,” Chang King-yuh told a group of 100 gathered at a forum
Thursday. He pointed out that every child between the ages of six
and 15 attend school. About 22,000 Chinese students attend American
colleges and universities, he said.
Chang also said the key to his country’s economic and trade suc-
cess has been the development of human resources. He said Taiwan
is being considered an industrialized nation because more people are
moving away from agriculture and more into industry.
“In terms of economy, a government is established to improve the
welfare of the people,” Chang said of his country. “Electricity is
available everywhere and 80 percent have running water.”
Chang also told the forum sponsored by the Gulf Coast World Af-
fairs Council and the Houston World Trade Association, there is an
imbalance in trade between Taiwan and the United States because of
what each country is trading.
