cords of Mr. Askew and Mr.
Jones in late 1973. He said that
the letter was delivered by
township patrolman Andy Kas-
ko, who told him at the time that
Chief Cooper had asked him to
deliver it.
Officer Kasko’s testimony
substantiated the testimony of
Mr. Elenchik. He added that
Mr. Cooper asked him to go
with him to the Dallas Post, to
offer the newspaper the same
information. Mr. Kasko told the
court that he did not go because
he “didn’t think it was right.”
Township supervisor Fred
Fielding and former justice of
the peace Lois Malak, both told
the court they had received an-
onymous letters containing the
juvenile records of Mr. Jones
and Mr. Askew. Mr. Cooper de-
nied sending the letters.
. staff writer, testified that Mr.
Cooper had offered the juvenile
. records to him during a late
1973 interview at the reporter’s
office. He said that Mr. Cooper
first requested that the infor-
mation be published to rebut a
Post editorial regarding the
chief’s attitude toward then pa-
trolman: Jones. (The former
chief admits that he made no
use of the salaried Mr. Jones
during a seventh-month period
last year.)
Mr. Williams noted that Mr.
Cooper gave the federal gun law
provision as his reason for sup-
plying the information. He also
told the court that Mr. Cooper
later called him the same day
be used in a newspaper story.
During his hour on the wit-
ness stand, Mr. Cooper admit-
ted that he offered the juvenile
records to the Post. But he in-
dicated that he was not fully
aware of the illegality of the
act. He told his counsel that in
revealing the paper to the Post
‘staff writer, he was not acting
- maliciously.
Other witnesses indicated
that rumors of ‘‘criminal re-
cords,” juvenile records and
even of the dishonorable dis-
charge of Mr. Jones circulated
in the township at the time of
last year’s general election.
Mr. Jones and Mr. Askew
both testified that they were
never convicted of any ‘‘adult
criminal offense.” Mr. Jones
exhibited his honorable dis-
charge papers.
Both Mr. Jones and Mr. Ask-
ew, married men with children,
testified that the publicity on
the case has upset their wives to
tears, and said their children
had been harassed by
schoolmates.
Mr. Jones offered the court a
letter written by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, which
included a copy of a letter sent
to its Washington bureau by a
‘Robert Cooper’ requesting
any ‘available FBI or military
record on Donald J. Jones. The
letter was typed on stationery
headed Robert Cooper, Police
Chief, Jackson Township. The
FBI report listed information
on a Donald Jillette Jones,
charged with various felony
thefts in Texas.
Mr. Jones noted that his
middle name is James,
Defense lawyers challenged
how Mr. Jones received the FBI
letter, which he said came to
him anonymously. He said he
threw away the envelope.
Mr. Cooper denied making
the request from the FBI.
Mr. Jones told the court that
he was elected to his police
position by supervisors
Fielding, Elenchik and Felix
Niedjaco. He said that in ‘late
November or early December’
he asked Mr. Cooper if he was
circulating his juvenile record,
and Mr. Cooper had promised
him that he was not.
Judge Lopatto is requested by
the complainants to give con-
sideration to financial repara-
tion as well as deciding Mr.
Cooper’s guilt or innocence.

uary and February would be
waived ant ‘that the company
would continue to assist the
school district in seeking ways
to stay within the limits of its
service contract.
Groans from school children
are anticipated as a result of the
board’s decision to extend the
length of the school year by one
day. The change was necessi-
tated by the closing of school for
three days in December and
January because of inclement
‘weather. The last day of school
in Lake-Lehman will be June 13,
with teachers’ day set for June
14.
The concept of a citizens ad-
visory committee proposed by
Director Gilbert Tough was
accepted by the board, and for-
mation of the new committee
will be considered by policy
committee members Ellis
Hoover, Arnold Garinger and
Mr. Tough. The citizens advi-
sory committee, according to
Mr. Tough, will serve as a liai-
son between the school board,
school administration and com-
munity-at-large.
The board approved the use of
the high school’s health suite by
the ‘Kiwanis Club of Dallas in
conjunction with the Heart
Association for a heart screen-
ing program during the week of
March, 25. Participants, who
St be 30 years of age or older,
will receive glucose and choles-
terol testing and have their
blood pressures taken. The fee
for the complete series of tests
is $5.
The name of Dianne Ralston
was added to the list of substi-
tute teachers.
Michael Slimak presided at
the meeting.
The most painful part of our
bodily pain is that which is bodi-
less or immaterial, namely our
impatience, and the delusion
that it will last forever.

George Cottell, owner of an
Arco station, said he supports
the actions of the PSSDA. He
said all dealers he’s talked to
are ‘‘fed up’ with the FEO’s
handling of the shortage so far.
“All they (the FEO) are doing
is transferring the problem
from one place to another,” Mr.
Cottell said. “‘New York City
had a bad shortage in Feb-
ruary, now they have plenty of
gas. Binghamton didn’t have
much of a problem last month,
now they're crying.
It’s a cinch (FEO Chief Wil-
liam) Simon isn’t going to do
anything the . oil companies
don’t want; he has $9 million
worth of oil company stock,”
Mr. Cottell noted.
Joseph Petrasko, operator of
two Exxon stations, said com-
pany representatives have told
him the shortage will become
even more acute in April and
May than it was in February,
“and yet Simon and Nixon have
publicly said the crisis has
passed.”
Mr. Petrasko said he probab-
ly will be out of gas by Monday,
‘so I might as well take a vaca-
tion since I can’t pump gas any-
way.”
Mr. Summa said the problem
“will never be solved’ until
legislation is passed to limit the
oil companies’ control over ser-
vice station owners—and con-
sumers. The dealers associat-
ion is lobbying for the passage
of a franchise bill which would
give the dealer more say in how
he operates his business: The
organization is also pushing for

vent oil companies from operat-

“I’ve heard that many
