Billie Sol Estes Parolled
EL PASO, Tex. (UK)—Billie Solest, a fast-talking West Texas convicted of a $150 million swindle in the early 1960s, was released on parole in 2004. She was shortly after midnight Monday.
Estes had asked prison officials to help him get out of the prison with as little publicity as possible. The warden did not tell what time Estes would get out and newsmen were kept half a mile from the prison's only gate, the prison guard stationed with them.
Estes, who had served six years and four months of a 15-year sentence, was seen leaving his apartment on a four-door sedan with his family.
Two newsmen in cars tried to follow the aute Estes was in, but another car maneuvered in between and held back the car when he was by a man who said he was employed by Elsa El Paso lawyer.
The U.S. Parole Board has put a damper on Estes' wheeler-dealer style by stipulating he cannot engage in "promotional activities". Mrs. Escales said she means "keepin' my mouth shut."
"On his own time he's been doing a lot of running, jogging, you know, to keep in shape." Mrs. Estes said.
Estes, 46, trimmed down the thick middle he carried into prison in 1965.
Mrs. Estes said the two will take a vacation this week and return to Ablele, where Estes plans to work on a farm. His friend Jeremy was there as a co-worker in Ablele and has employed Estes' wife as a helper.

Authorities said the disease can spread to humans, but in man is usually only about as serious as case of the fau and is suidom fatal. The disease has been spreading northward Venezuela for the past two years.
In Mexico, federal health officials said 588 persons in the northernest state of San Luis Potosí were the first form of sleeping sickness. The epizootic has caused the death of more than 200 mosquitoes, mules and owls, however.
Unofficial sources said at least 12 persons have died in Mexico from the disease.
In Texas, Dr. Henry said cases were concentrated in the area from Brownville to Harlingen and up into Salem. His commission said it had a report Sunday of a horse dead of the disease in Beeville, the northernmost case reported to the county by 175 miles north of Brownville.

Veterinarian Tom Beckett of Austin said there were about 400,000 horses in Texas, spread evenly around the state.
Families of POWs Urge U.S. Pullout
"We sprayed yesterday, and to this day we have sprayed days go on. Now, if owners will vaccine horses ahead of the virus, then we will stop it," he said.
WASHINGTON (UPI)—The families of some of the men being held prisoner in Vietnam have urged President Nixon to accept the Communists' latest peace offer, saying they fear the president's government safety of the Saigon government rescue of the POWs.
Mrs. Philip Culbertson McLean, Va., one of the signers, said "we intended it originally to be a silent plea for help, but when we saw that the talks were not well, we decided to speak out."

simultaneously with a total U.S. withdrawal by year's end and the American government in Saigon. The women said they feared administration might reject the Community offer, sacrificing the American government to the American government in Saigon.
"we feel our government's objection to prisoners now, should it precedence over its obligation to the government of South Viet-Nam."
The women said the administration had promised that all prisoners were released and "now we plead with you not to go back on your arrest."
Mrs. Culbertson, who brother, Navy Cmdr. Kenneth Coskey, was shot down over North Vietnam in 1968, said the group represented 333 families of American POWs.

Headquarters Sets Goals
1720 West 23rd Street
By FLORESTINE PURNELL
About a year and a half ago, a group of Lawrence citizens and three University of Knaas students met to discuss the drug abuse crisis in the senior high school youth in Lawrence. At this first meeting, it was recognized that the problem was already critical and the group had no choice but that there was no one agency available to this age group that was equipped to handle the unique problems associated with the drug abuse.
As a result of this meeting, extensive research was done to determine the need for a drug abuse center. The mittee then gathered the information they had obtained into the database and oriented the center which was specifically oriented toward Lawrence's senior high school youth.
"Thus began "Headquarters". The concept of the center was prepared by the Council and presented to the Outreach Commission of the First United Methodist Church on Saturday and probationary 'funding'.
A Board of Directors was appointed to interested community members, physicians, pharmacologists and experienced staff member.
Headquarters set out to do six thing.
First, they proposed to establish a 24 hour switchboard and guidance center to deal with drug-related incidents. Second, Headquarters personnel proposed to establish a library concerning drugs and drug abuse for the purpose of providing a resource for concerned citizens.
Third, the group behind Headquarters proposed to actively distribute drug abuse information means of speaking engagements, adult education, and old reliable "gravevine", so like the teenagers in high youth. Fourth, Headquarters would be set up for runaways that these youths would have an opportunity rather than going to a distant city.
phone lines is consistently busy with parents and students who have been warned of dangers of drugs, use and other personal problem
The second goal, a drug-oriented library, has enjoyed wide adoption. Also, additions to make the library's subjects is being consider **bear**.
Stimulating community awareness about the drug problem, the third goal, has been partially accomplished by participating in the Adult Education division of Lawrence High School by providing two courses to a special Adult class concerning drug abuse.
With respect to the fourth goal, there have been lots of runaways, and in most cases, Headquarters has had good success with them. They have gotten parents and children down and talk out their differences. They found that often there was a communications problem where one party wouldn't listen to the other, resulting in the child leaving when he didn't really want to.
Headquarters has made progress in attaining its goals. They learned that the youth of Lawrence actively looking for help. Often staff members are called upon to provide help and their children. It has been found that in most cases not only the students, but the staff, so do their parents.
Fifth, Headquarters has become a viable referral agent. In addition to relationships with established referral agencies, various professional in the field of occupational health skills and support by becoming members of Headquarters' Board of Consultants.
A fund drive held last year raised two thirds of the amount of money Headquarters hopes to get. Two thousand dollars was raised through the Kansas University and the Lawrence High School gave $750 through its Student Council. Another fund raising drive will be held next year in which it is hoped raise two to three thousand dollars that he hoped that money will come from unsolicited contributions.
What Headquarters needs now is people who want to share their special skills and interests with youth . . . and of course, there is always use for money. at a new location, 1632 Kentucky, and they are in the process of doing a little remodeling.
Donations may be sent to Box 999 or the First National Bank, in care of Headquarters; contributions are tax deductible.
