Shook Fights Backers as Campaign Opens in San Antonio
District Attorney John K. Shook, seeking reelection on the Bexar county ticket, assailed Mayor Gus Mauermann and Arthur Biard at a rally on the Robert E. Lee school grounds. He accused them of engineering the DA race for personal vindictiveness and cited his office record of 1973 convictions, 81 felonies reduced to misdemeanors, and only 20 sequittals. Representative Kuday likewise denounced his opponent for personality-driven tactics and urged debates on major issues like the U N Bretton Woods, atomic energy, and postwar policy.
