Republicans Hit
Duval County's
Probing Actions
Fort Worth, June 16 (AP) — Indignant Texas
Republicans, meeting at Fort Worth today, hammer-
er at the controversial Duval County case which gub-
ernatorial candidate Jack Cox labeled “one of the
blackest spots in Texas histody.” Cox, along with U.S.
Senator John Tower and others, attacked what they
termed the “mishandling” of
the Duval County Republican
chairman, Clarence Sehroeder.
The 44-year-old Sehroeder
was arrested, jailed and fined
when he refused to turn over
county Republican records to
the grand jury, reportedly look-
ing into the June 2nd runoff j
election.
Cox called the case “a shame
and disgrace” and promised if
elected governor he would
change the election laws so
“this kind of thing cannot hap-
pen to Texans.”
T o w e who flew in from
Washington yesterday, said the
Duval incident “serves to dram-
atize what we Republicans have
been saying all along — the
Democratic Party plays fast
and loose with election machin-
ery.”
The Republican leaders are
in Fort Worth in connection
with a session of the state GOP
executive committee. The gath-
ering was called to map plans
for the state convention and
determine campaign strategy
for the November election.

let, driven by Michael C. Crav-
er of 213 Beasley Street.
Craver, traveling behind
Mrs. Spears, told Morton that
he thought she would turn left.
Mrs. Spears was taken to Me-
morial Hospital for treatment
injuries, believed to be minor.
Damage to the Spears car
was listed at $300 and to Crav-
er’s Chevrolet at $250.

Austin, June 16 — At-

said every effort will be made
to fix responsibility for the

Washing-ton, June 16
(AP) — Sources in Wash-

gation has disclosed that
a man bought a supply of
dynamite shortly before
hoarding a jet a i r I i n e r that
■crashed near Unionvilie, Mo.,
last month.
The FBI declined all com-
ment on the report. But other-
sources familiar with the FBI
investigation say the finding
tends to confirm the earlier re-
port that the plane crashed
after a blast set off by a pass-
enger.
The crash of the Continental
Airlines jet on May 22nd claim-
ed 45 lives. Pieces of the piane
tell over a wide area near
Unionvilie — close to the Mis-
souri-lowa border.
The Washington informants
say it was learned that 34-year-
old Thomas Doty of Kansas
City bought the dynamite after
talking of committing suicide.
Doty also is said to have taken
out more than $300,000 of in-
surance payable to his wife be-
fore boarding the plane.
Doty was described as des-
pondent and having told ac-
quaintances a few days prior
to the flight that he was plan-

face criminal charges. Doty was
