that he was insane.
Judge Gulley says the test of insanity in Texas is defined
in Penal Code Section 8.01: (a l It is an affirmative defense
to prosecution that at the time of the conduct charged, the
actor, as a result of mental disease or defect, either did
not know that his conduct was wrong or was incapable of
conforming his conduct to the requirements of the law he
allegedly violated. (bl The term "mental disease or
defect" does not include an abnormality manifested only
by repeated criminal or otherwise antisocial conduct.
Lawyer talk is difficult for most of us to understand.
Any person who gets mad and kills another person would
seem "incapable of conforming his conduct" as prescrib-
ed by law. But the average person might reason that the
defendant lost his temper and was not insane at the time.
We overheard a guy at the coffee shop who was strong
on common sense: "I tell you one thing, Hinckley would
have been insane not to plead insanity."

"Foreign policy comes from
the Oval Office and with the
help of a fine secretary of
state."
While sources close to Haig
are say gig-he feels he was
forced into a resignation by
farm crises.
“The American farmer today is in worse
shape than at any time since the great depres-
sion, yet few of the people in Washington seem
aware of the problem," Bentsen said in the let-
ter.
Bentsen’s press secretary, Jack Devore,
said the senator’s letter came after a lack of
responsiveness from USDA officials, combin-
ed with recent damage to West Texas crops.
"The senator’s conclusion fs that the USDA
does not understand the gravity of the pro-
blem,’’ Devore said. "We hope this is a way to
make them sensitive."
Ford led a two-day tour to assess farm
damage in the Lubbock and Amarillo areas.
The damage stretched across two million
acres, and Texas Ag Commissioner Reagan
Brown estimated damage to cotton and wheat
at $686 million statewide.
State Sen. Bill Sarpalius of Hereford agreed
with Brown’s assessment, and said the state
legislature should take steps to ensure that
future farm disasters would not have to be
handled entirely in Washington.
“A lot of these farmers are losing their
livelihood while everybody is talking and not
doing anything,” said Sarpalius.

Before Interpretation
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) -
Attorney General Mark White says he
wants direction from the U.S.
Supreme Court before he interprets a
ruling that could force some elected
officials seeking higher office to give
up their posts
The high court last week upheld a
requirement in the Texas Constitution
that certain locally elected officials
must resign if they run for another of-
flee
While must determine which of-
ficials officials are required to resign
"We could have a decision hopefully
by this week, but it may be early next
week," White told the South Texas
Judges and Commissioners Associa-
tion on Wednesday.
"We're trying to get further direc-
tion from the court. They didn't give
us any direction. Hopefully, we'd not
be leaving these people in jeopardy."
said White
One official anxious for White to
rule is Nueces County Sheriff Soloman
Ortiz of Corpus Christi, who didn’t get
a paycheck this week. He's the
Democratic candidate for the 27th
Congressional District.
White said he had mixed feelings
about his successful pursuit of the
constitutional case and hopes the rul-
ing doesn't force Ortiz to resign.
"You just hate to win a case and
hurt friends," he said
Nueces County Treasurer Dave
Chappell Wednesday placed Ortiz’
salary in escrow County Auditor
Thomas Murphy said he would appeal
Chappell's action to the board of
district judges only if the treasurer
decided to release the check.
White, asked about Chappell's deci-
sion. said the treasurer was just do-
mg his job.”
Ortiz said the lack of a paycheck
would work a hardship on him.
"I have two children to support. I
have a budget. But I'm going to abide
by the law of the land." he said. Once
the attorney general's opinion comes
down, it will resolve all this
confusion."
termediary said Wednesday
night that despite the PLO’s
defiant calls to fight to the
death, the guerrillas were

Syria and Israel and armed
elements of the PLO.

Once at Edwards, Challenger will
become part of a multi-shuttle ex-
travaganza on the Fourth of July,
when President Reagan will watch

"This whole nation, and in fact the
whole world . is going to see Columbia
return from space and Challenger
become airborne (atop a jumbo
jetliner for a piggyback ride to its
Florida launch site)," said Joe Engle,
commander of the second shuttle mis-
sion last November.
"That's some kind of birthday pre-
sent for America," he said Wednes-
day at Challenger's coming-out
ceremonies in front of Rockwell Inter-
national's assembly hangar near
here.
The new shuttle was towed slowly
around the corner of the giant hangar
as some 1,200 workers and dignitaries
applauded and craned their necks. Its
nose appeared as as a Marine Corps
band played the themes from "Star
Trek,” "Star Wars" and
"Superman."
It was clearly a day for back-
slapping pride and patriotism. And
several Rockwell officials used the oc-
casion to make a strong pitch for a
fifth shuttle, one more than currently
funded. They hope Reagan may come
out in favor of it in a speech Sunday
Meanwhile. Paul J. Weitz, who will
command Challenger on its maiden
voyage early next year, accepted
from Rockwell a symbolic key" - a
replica of the tool that opens the shut-
tle's hatch.
“I'd like to accept this key to the or-
biter in trust for the American people
and all us taxpayers who are footing
the bill for this magnificent flying
machine." he said.
Giant parts of a third shuttle,
Discovery, are already being
assembled inside the hangar with
completion due in September 1983
The Atlantis is scheduled for delivery
in December 1984
