Reidhaar said Macbride s order was entirely inconsistent with a . Supreme court order issued last year permit Ting the University to continue its special affirmative action admissions policy while a similar Case is before the Federal High court. Until the University receives a stay however Reidhaar said Clancy will be permitted to Register and enrol in classes. At the same time the a act charged that Whites have benefited for years from special admissions1 policies.

Canson said an a act petition to inter Vene in the Clancy Case noted that before the program began us s medical an dental schools were almost wholly White thus evidencing the pattern of prior discrimination against Black students and prospective the real tragedy is that the real parties in interest have never been heard Canson said. The real parties Are not the University not those Whites complaining about reverse discrimination but those groups classified As minorities who have historically been discriminated meanwhile at Durham n.c., Duke University officials say the school May forego almost $1 million in Federal funds rather than admit medical students it feels May be unqualified. Last year Congress approved Legisla Tion giving As much As $2,000 per student to medical schools that would increase their third year classes by 10 students from a Pool of americans in foreign medical schools but Duke medical Dean Ewald Busse says he does not want to take some one who is not qualified and have them become an unsuccessful sex prostitute testifies oilman is linked to in Law killing Houston not the vivid testimony of a 27-year-old former prostitute has linked a Texas oilman Davis Ashton Robinson to the murder of his son in Law or. John Hill in the foyer of Hill s Houston mansion five years testimony came in a $7 million civil suit alleging that the 79-year-old millionaire planned and paid for the murder of Hill a prominent Houston plastic sur Geon to avenge the death of his daughter. Robinson s daughter Joan brought the fledgling physician into Houston s social spotlight when she became his first wife. She died mysteriously in 1989 at the age of 38. The suit now being tried was filed by Hill s widow Connie whom he married after Joan Hill s death his son Robert and his Mother Myra. Robinson has acknowledged under oath that he Felt fiendishly vindictive after his Daugh Ter s death which he believed to have been the result of Hill s negligent handling of a sudden ill Ness. But he pointedly denied allegations that he took part in a murder plot. Before he was shot to death Hill was charged with causing his wife s death by with holding medical treatment. A mistrial was declared in that Case. Two convictions and a Best Selling novel Thomas Thomp son s blood and Money a fictional account of the Case have resulted thus far from the widely publicized events that followed the death of Joan Robinson Hill. But her father the novel s Cen trial figure has not been prosecuted for his alleged involvement in Hill s murder. The former prostitute Marcia Mckittrick who has been Imp is Tass reports Rescue Moscow up a soviet ship has rescued two americans who crashed in a Small plane in the open sea off South America the Tass news Agency reported. It said Mauricio Rodrigues and Roberto Buret were rescued bythe ship Novgorod. One for her role in the murder told the jury last week that Rob Inson had supplied Lilla Paulus also convicted for participating in the murder plan with details of Hill s habits and whereabouts in preparation for the slaying. She also told of payments to mrs. Paulus by Robinson just before the murder. It seemed like a Story Book to me miss Mckittrick testified. It did t seem like a reality until it Mckittrick drove the getaway car from the Hill mansion in the fashionable River Oaks Section of Houston after the murder. A Man named Bobby Wayne Vandiver the alleged hired killer of Hill was shot and killed in 1974 by a policeman in Longview. Mckittrick s testimony was largely a repetition of her state ments at the trial of mrs. Paulus three years ago but this time she was far More dramatic in her portrayal of Robinson As the Mastermind of Hill s murder. In an earlier appearance Rob Inson contradicted much of Mckittrick s sworn testimony. While he acknowledged a casual Friendship with Paulus he denied having made any payments to her in connection with the murder. I had gotten Over the intense feeling i had and it s gone Down to just a matter of not wanting him killed Robinson told the jury. God knows i did t want he said he had once asked Paulus for help in proving Hill s guilt in his daughter s death but denied giving her assistance or Money in connection with the murder. If found guilty in the civil trial Robinson could be ordered to pay damages but would not face imprisonment. The Day after his testimony Robinson filed a $20 million libel suit against Thomp son the author of blood an Money and Doubleday & co., the Book s publisher. Robinson contends that the Book wrongly accuses him of complicity in Hill s murder. Local bookstores have reported a dramatic in crease in the Book s Sale since the trial began.
