Sleeping sickness
drifts into Texas
BROWNSVILLE, Tex. (UPI) —A rare sleeping sickness
that has killed thousands of horses in a sweep from South
America across Mexico and into Texas, has begun
afflicting humans.
Thirty-four persons were hospitalized in Texas’ lower
RioGrande Valley with symptoms of the disease. Doctors
said three of them were confirmed cases of Venezuelan
equine encephomyelitis. The others were awaiting
laboratory confirmation.
The disease is not as dangerous to humans as it to
horses, health authorities said.
Scores of stricken horses fell dead in South Texas. Local
authorities ordered ranchers to bury the animals where
they lay.
Rodeos, horse races and county fairs were canceled.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture placed a
quarantine on Texas, restricting the movement of horses
from the state to those vaccinated 14 days before.
Texas officials also banned the movement of horses
from county to county.
Fifty horses in the Ringling Brothers and Barnum &
Bailey Circus in Dallas were ordered kept in town. The
circus was scheduled to leave for Phoenix, Ariz., next
week.
Texas veterinarians predicted thousands of the
estimated 400,000 horses in the state would die.
“We’ve lost this battle,” said Dr. P. R. Henry, a
member of the federal-state task force fighting the
disease. “We’re unable to assess the number of dead. It
has run over us.”
Leaf
market
dates eyed
MACON, Ga. (UPl)—The
Georgia Tobacco Advisory
Board is scheduled to meet to
day to determine when the 28
markets in the Georgia-Florida
Flue-Cured Tobacco Market will
begin 1971 auction sales.
The market usually opens in
late July and the date is de
termined by the condition of the
crop at the time of the meet
ing.
The Georgia Crop Reporting
Service has predicted this may
be Georgia’s best tobacco crop
since 1967.
Controversy surrounds those
optimistic estimates this year,
however, mainly because the
industry-wide Flue-Cured
Tobacco Marketing Committee
voted last month to limit
Georgia’s sales time to only that
necessary to sell 154 million
pounds.
Agriculture Commissioner
Tommy Irvin, noting that the
23 Georgia and five Florida
markets sold 226 million pounds
in 1970, called the action “com
pletely unreasonable.”

Caucus hits
Carter,
Maddox
By TOM GREENE
ATLANTA (UPI)-A subcom
mittee of the state Senate Dem
ocratic Caucus approved propos
als Wednesday designed to keep
the party caucus from becom
ing a “political football” be
tween Gov. Jimmy Carter and
Lt. Gov. Lester Maddox.
One senator said the purpose
of the proposals was to make
foe caucus independent of both
Carter and Maddox, who have
been on the opposite ends of
numerous issues since Carter
succeeded Maddox last Janu
ary.
Under the proposals — which
must now be approved by the
foil caucus—the lieutenant gov
ernor would not be allowed to
serve as chairman of the cau
cus.
Another, apparently aimed at
diluting Carter’s direct influ
ence on the caucus, would pro
hibit the Democratic majority
leader from serving as the gov
ernor’s floor leader in the Sen
ate.
At present, St. Al Holloway of
Albany is the majority leader,
but also serves as Carter’s floor
leader. The new proposal would
force him to choose one or the
other job. Carter has asked him
to remain as floor leader to
guide administration bills
through the upper chamber, but
Holloway said he has not yet
made up his mind.
“We’re not going to allow
(the caucus) to be used as a po
litical football between the gov
ernor and the lieutenant gover
nor,” said Sen. Bobby Rowan of
Enigma, who said the caucus
has not functioned wdl because
it has “been thrown into a con
tinuous fight between the gover
nor and the lieutenant gover
nor.”
Holloway addressed the sub
committee Wednesday, saying
he took the job of handling Car
ter’s legislation only after it
had first been approved by the
Caucus Policy Committee.
He said he pushed only those
bills approved by the caucus
leadership and added, “I tried
very carefully to stay within the
ground rules as provided by the
census.
“I just don’t know what you
are looking for,” he said. “It
seems to me that what is miss
ing is a lack of instructions
from the policy committee.”

LONG MEMORY
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPI)—
Hotelman Baron Hilton ap
peared before Clark County
gambling authorities recently to
ask permission to buy up to 70.6
per cent interest in the
Flamingo and International
hotel gambling resorts.
He received unanimous ap
proval but not without a
reminder from county commis
sioner Tom Wiesner, a former
fallback for the San Diego
Chargers, which the Hiltons
owned.
“I’m going to vote for you,
but I have a long memory. And
I remember when I was with
foe San Diego Chargers and
Mr. Hilton fired me 10 years
ago,” said Wiesner.
