Austin This city lost a
part of its "personality" last
.week. Most Austin citizens
acted sophisticated about the
fact that President Lyndon
Baines Johnson was seen fre-
quently at public events . . .
but his personality gave the
entire area a certain glamor
that will be lost with his pass-
ing. Ho had made frequent ap-
pearances recently the Cot-
ton Bowl Civil Rights Forum.
Governor Briscoe's inaugura-
tion and an economic seminar
at San Marcos.
Yes Austin and Texas will
miss LBJ.
He did not try to dominate
fiBB.

the show when he appeared
publicly did not make "news"
by voicing opinions on every-
thing but his influence was
felt in many important ways.
During last year's political
campaigns in Texas he was
on the phone raising money
offering advice supporting
those who had been loyal to
him during his political ca
reer.
The Texas Democratic party
will miss LBJ.

His daughter Mrs. Luci Nu-
gent likes to point out that
her father was "surrounded
by journalists."
"My father hnd to live with
journalists all of his life." she
said recently. "My mother .was
a journalism graduate of the
University of Texas. My sister

His family will miss LBJ.
President Johnson's noliti-
cal career will continue to bo
an inspiration to young peo-
ple interested in government
and pontics.
He came from n family of
public servants hut linmlrofls

ABORTION LAW STRUCK
DOWN The U. S. Supreme
Court voted 7-2 to strike down
the state's abortion statute.
Holding that medical abortion
in the first six months of
pregnancy should be a private
matter between a woman and
her physician the high court
ended a controversy begun in
1970 when "Jane Roe" a preg-
nant unmarried woman from
Dallas took the abortion argu-
ment to the federal courts.
Ironically Miss Roe as she
was named to protect her
identity won the case but
had the baby.
Gov. Dolph Briscoe asked
Texas Atty. Gen. John Hill for
an evalution of the ruling and
for alternatives open to Texas
in light of the high court de-
cision. Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby.
however said that the "best
solution is one in which the.
slate is neutral on the subject.
I believe the medical nrofos-
sion of Texas will respond to
the decision and will treat
abortion as a medical matter
in a responsibility way."

DWI's Increase;
Deaths Decrease
In Central Texas
Arrests for drunken driving
increased 6. percent m 1972
in six experimentally patroll-
ed counties in Central Texns.
In the centrnl city of Tem-
ple DWI arrests doubled.
At tho same tiirm. thn nrnn'n
traffic death rate declined by
1G percent an improvement
lour times greater than tho 4
percent recorded statewide.
These figures emerge from
an analysis of preliminary sta-
tistics bv tho Centrnl Tnv.nn
Alcohol Safety Action Project
(UTASAr). an agency of the
Central Texas Council of Gov-
ernments charged with reduc-
ing drunken driving and im-
proving the region's traffic sa-
fety record one of the worst
in Texas.
"We arc encouraged at the
amount of progress even
though .our special patrols
have been on the road only
since July." said William J.
McCaffrey CTASAP Director.
In 1972 traffic deaths de-
clined to 82 from 89 in 1971
for the six counties Bell
Coryell Hamilton Lampasas
Milam and Mills rlosnito
an additional 101 million miles
driven on the area's roads.
Population of the area is about
206000.
The 82 deaths mean six per-
sons died for every 100 mil-
lion miles driven giving the
area a death rate of CO com-
pared with 7.1 in 1971 a 1G
percent improvement. The
death rate is the measure used
nationally to see whether traf-
fic safety is improving or de
teriorating. Tiie Texas rate in
1972 wns 4.9. rlmvn A nnvcnnl
from 5.1 in 1971 although nu-
merically more people died
statewide 3.G60 in 1972 com-
pared with 3594 in 1971
uaseu in preliminary statistics.
"We feel a more cautious
attitude on the part of Central
Texas motorists coupled with
a significant increase in nr.
rests for drunken driving may
account lor some of the im-
provement in our six coun-
ties" said Ed Jarratt CTA-
SAP Law Enforcement Coor-
dinator. Beginning last Julv. CTA
SAP began providing six spe-
ciany-trained Alcohol Detec-
tion and Control (ADC)
Teams of two officers each in
six specialized patrol cars to
the police departments of
Temple Killeen Lampasas
Copperas Cove and the sher-
iffs' departments of Bell and
uoryeu uounties.
Mr. and Mrs. Milam Gerick
and boys of Harlingen and Mr.
and Mrs. James Freudenberg
and boys of LaGrnnge spent the
week-end hero with their mot-
her Mrs. Walter Steelich nnd
attended the funeral services
of Mrs. E. C. Miller. The Ger-
icks also visited his mother
Mrs. Adolph Gerick.
