Supporters object of campaigns
AUSTIN (AP) — Telephone were ringing in homes of
former backers of John Glenn as campaign workers for
Walter Mondale and Gary Hart tried to convince them to
make the switch.
Glenn dropped out of the Democratic presidential race
Friday leaving Mondale, Hart and Jesse Jackson in the
nomination race.
"After Super Tuesday, we believe we can pick up the
bulk of his (Glenn's) supporters not just in Texas but also
in Mississippi, Oklahoma, Arkansas and other southern
states,” said John Pouland, Hart’s coordinator in Texas
and Oklahoma. "Glenn’s base has primarily been in the
southern states and Ohio, and we feel confident we can
pick up the majority of his supporters in those states.”
At the state headquarters of Mondale in Austin, Bobby
Rogers, state campaign director, said Mondale sup-
porters would begin an immediate drive to enlist Glenn's
Texas backers.
Capital murder warrants issued
PALO PINTO, Texas (AP) — Two brothers who
allegedly bragged to a Phoenix, Arix., undercover police
officer about killing a man in Texas were jailed without
bond today in connection with the death of a Methodist
minister.
No formal charges had been filed early today, but two
Texas law officers said they would question the men Sun-
day about the slaying of the Rev. John H. Basham, 55.
The victim’s body was found Feb. 9 in a van along In-
terstate 20 south of Gordon.
Basham was reported missing by his family on Feb. 8
after he failed to show up at a ministerial conference in
Dallas. He was to have accepted an award the previous
day as the outstanding Methodist minister in his district.
Appeal filed to stop claims
AUSTIN (AP) — The state has appealed a judge's order
that held unconstitutional the Texas workers' compensa-
tion law excluding farm and ranch workers from on-the-
job injury benefits.
Attorney General Jim Mattox said the appeal was filed
with the 3rd Court of Appeals in Austin on Friday.
Almost immediately, State District Judge Harley Clark
granted a stay of his original order, pending completion of
the appeal.
Mattox said Friday he filed the appeal in order to give
the Legislature time to act on a new so-called compromise
drawn up by the Joint Committee on Farmworkers In-
surance. Gov. Mark White has been asked to include the
proposal in the special legislative session scheduled this
summer.

The superport proper,

Since May 1961, ships have
been tying up at the four
massive buoys to pump out
their crude through a net-
work of hoses and pipes that
lead to storage cavities on
shore and ultimately to
refineries as far north as the
Great Lakes.
The eight underground
cavities are in natural salt
formations and a typical

is as tall as the Empire State

Calm enforced Friday In Miami
MIAMI (AP) — Police toting shotguns patrolled black
neighborhoods amid sporadic rock- and bottle-throwing
Friday. after more than 240 people were arrested and 19
injured in a night of unrest sparked by a policeman's ac-
quittal in the death of a black man.
City officials gave strict orders to crush lawlessness and
expressed confidence that they could head off the city's
third full-scale race riot in four years. The first of those
was also provoked by a jury finding policemen innocent in
the slaying of a black.
"This town is calm. It’s business as usual,” City
Manager Howard Gary said Friday. "We anticipate it's
going to be that way this evening and we don't want to
overreact.”
Man charged in shooting
WASHINGTON (AP) — The young man who was shot in
the arm when he threatened a guard trying to question
him outside the White House fence was described Friday
by a hometown policeman as "awfully mixed up” and pro-
ne to sharp mood swings
David A. Mahonski, 25, a high school dropout who lived
with his parents in Williamsport. Pa., was charged in
papers filed in federal court Friday with resisting a
uniformed Secret Service guard Thursday night by
threatening him with a sawed-off shotgun hidden under
his jacket.

Troops die in robot attack
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) - Twenty-five lef-
tist rebels and at least 14 government troops died in a
guerrilla attack on the town of Suchitoto, military and
civilian sources said. The rebels burned the town hospital,
ambushed troops and fought house-to-house with soldiers.
A photographer for Newsweek magazine was killed Fri-
day as he headed for Suchitoto.
More fighting was reported north of the Torola River
Friday during a nearly two-week-old sweep through San
Miguel province by the 3rd Infantry Brigade. Two soldiers
and 12 rebels were reported killed there
The Guerrillas' Radio Farabundo Marti, the official
voice of the Popular Liberation Forces, said about 486
guerrillas attacked Suchitoto, 27 miles northeast of San
Salvador, Friday.
Military officials in Suchitoto said four police were kill-
ed and at least 10 government troops wounded in fighting
inside the town, a once prosperous trade center. Jour-
nalists returning from Suchitoto said an additional 10
government troops were killed by the guerrillas in read-
side skirmishes.
The Defense Ministry issued a statement saying
soldiers killed 25 rebels, but the ministry gave no details.
WASHINGTON (AP) -
Maybe it was because some
people felt guilty about what
happened to George
McGovern in 1972 that they
felt good about what happen-

In 1972, he ran on the slogan
"Right from the Start" but in
truth he was doomed from the
start.
It is likely no Democrat
could have beaten incumbent
President Richard M Nixon

McGovern might have had

cent behind Eagleton.
