Texan ends uneasy truce over missile range dispute
82 year old Texan Prather who lost 25 000 acres to the McGregor missile range at Fort Bliss had agreed to a temporary truce with the U S government. The Army would lease back his 15 acre home grounds allowing him to stay until death. He demanded a corridor to the range boundary linking his holdings with water sources. Army officials approved a long pause but engineers vetoed the corridor idea ending the truce.

Gambler Loses Appeal Before High Court Over Bribery Claim
The Ancan- Hob Supreme Court denied gambler Chive Les Womack of Benton Torrecovery of 1675 dollars, ruling state laws do not authorize recovery of money alleged as a bribe. The decision followed a prior Supreme Court censure related to Womack’s political contributions to judge Manor to avoid gambling charges. The Bar Rules Committee found Womack, via an intermediary, gave about 800 dollars. Manor admitted receiving the money but not the amount. Manor’s conduct was deemed highly reprehensible. no action was taken against him beyond this report. Justice Rabinson wrote the unanimous opinion upholding dismissal of the case for lack of a stated cause of action.
