Nomination moves to floor
without committee approval
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate
Foreign Relations Committee voted to-
day to send Kenneth L. Adelman’s
nomination as U.S. arms control di-
rector to the Senate floor without its
endorsement.
The committee acted after holding
a third hearing that senators say left
them skeptical about Adelman’s
commitment to seeking an agreement
with the Soviet Union on nuclear
weapons reductions.
The committee first rejected, by a
9-8 vote, a motion by its chairman,
Sen. Charles H. Percy, R-III., to rec-
ommend Adelman’s confirmation-
The members then approved, by a
vote of 14-3, the motion by Senate Ma-
jority Leader Howard H. Baker Jr.,
R-Tenn..
United States to contribute
dairy surplus to Mexico
WASHINGTON (AP)—The United
States will donate more than 30,000
metric tons of government-owned sur-
plus dairy foods to Mexico, Agricul-
ture Secretary John R. Block an-
nounced Thursday.
A metric ton is about 2,205 pounds.
Block said the products will be used
mainly in school breakfast and lunch
programs, as supplemental food for
pregnant women and infants, and at
special centers for the elderly, hand-
icapped and mentally ill.
The products were accumulated by
the Agriculture Department under the
government’s milk price support pro-
gram, which requires the agency to
buy surplus butter, cheese and non-
fat dry milk to prop up milk prices at
the farm
New custody law requires
hearing within three days
AUSTIN (AP)—Gov. Mark White
signed a bill into law Thursday that
was rushed through the Legislature in
response to a federal judge’s ruling
that Texas' protective custody provi-
sions are unconstitutional.
The law guarantees a hearing within
72 hours for people who are placed
in protective custody because they are
thought to be mentally ill and danger-
ous to themselves or others.
Sen. Ray Farabee, D-Wichita Falls,
introduced the proposal after U.S. Dis-
trict Judge George Kazen of Laredo
issued his ruling.
Texas’ old law allowed people
suspected of being mentally ill to be
held in custody for up to 14 days with-
out a hearing.
The law goes into effect at once.

inate wasteful and unnecessary defense
spending."

thal the Department of Defense appro-
priation for the current fiscal year,
which began Oct I, included S4 mil-
lion to establish an office of inspector
general in the department.
Bentsen said “lam perplexed that
five months into this fiscal year Con-
gress has yet to receive a nomination
for such an inspector general.
"Prompt action on your part in
nominating a tough-minded inspector
general for (defense) will send a strong
signal of your commitment to elimi-
nate waste and mismanagement."_

Even if your landlord pays the utility
bill, you have a big stake in the energy
used in your apartment.
Nearly all of the energy used in
apartments has to do w ith temperature
. the temperature of the air or
water or food. Too much heat or too
much air conditioning can cause
discomfort and respiratory problems
A water heater set too high can
cause scaltls or bums . . . Setting your
refrigerator too cohl can ruin some
foods. Also, higher utility bills will
eventually lead to higher rent when
the landlord adds up all costs.
Here are some ways you can re-
duce utility hills:
• I urn off lights and appliances when
they arc not needed.
Lower
Utility Bills
Mean
Lower Rent
• Set your thermostat no higher than
68 degrees Fahrenheit in winter
during the day, and lower it to 55
degrees Fahrenheit at night.
• Install flow restrictors on shower-
heads and faucets. Shower no longer
than five minutes.
• Open drapes and shades to let the
sun provide some of your heating.
Close them at night or on cloudy days
to prevent heat loss.
• Operate major appliances such as
dishwashers, clothes washers and
dryers only when full.
Looking for energy waste in your
apartment will not only keep power
bills down, but will help make sure
wc all have plenty of electric power for
the future.

City Council election
deadline approaches
By ROBERT SHELTON
Staff Writer
Prospective candidates for City Coun-
cil single-member district seats must file
with City Secretary Charlotte Allen by
Wednesday to be included in the April
2 general election. Six people had filed
as of Thursday.
The four incumbent councilmcn, Mark
Chew, district 1; Joe Alford, district 2;
Jim Riddlesperger. district 3; and Ray
Stephens, district 4, have all filed for
re-election.
Billie Hubbard, a Denton housewife,
filed for the district 4 council seal Tues
day and Billy Pye, minister of the Mount
Calvary Baptist Church, filed for the dis
triet 1 council seat Feb. 10.
Allen said she expects an abundance
of filing applications the day of the
deadline.
“They kind of play a little game.”
she said. “They wait until the last day
to see who else has filed.
Allen said that last year no one had
filed for the place two and four bi-district
election until a man filed two days be-
fore deadline. “Charles Hopkins (the
present bi-district councilman) filed and
the man came back in and withdrew his
name. They just wait to see who they
will be running against, to see if they
think they can win.”
The number of candidates on the bal-
lot, and even the results of the election,
will be unimportant if the U.S. Justice
Department does not approve the reap-
portionment plan the city submitted to
the department for consideration last
November, C.J Taylor, city attorney.
said.
Taylor said thal Denton can use the
plan for the election without the prior
approval by the Justice Department, but
the winners of the election cannot be
sworn in.
However, Taylor said, both he and the
city council members expect the depart-
ment’s approval.

When famous bowler Don Carter invited 23 Kingpins to the
st Lite Beer Bowling Tournament, it seemed like a great idea.
It was the guys who drink Lite Beer from Miller because it
;tes great, against the guys who drink it because it’s less filling,
id once again, the All-Stars proved they're in a league by
smselves.
After a lot of pins (and quite a few Lite Beers) went down
d the smoke finally cleared, the score was tied, with only one
an left to go. Rodney Dangerfield.
All he needed to win it was one pin. A klutz situation
idney, in top form, got the same amount of pins as he
ts respect. None “ “
So the First Lite Beer
iwling Tournament ended in
jraw. And the argument H^/
er the best thing about Lite
is left unsettled.
But there was one thing
eryone agreed on. It was
