AUSTIN - U.S. Sen. Kay
Bailey Hutchison is scheduled to go
on trial Feb. 7 in Fort Wbrth.
She has been charged with misus-
ing state employees and equipment
and of tampering with government
records while she was serving as
state treasurer.
Juiy selection specialist Dr.
Robert Gordon of Dallas has been
retained by Travis County District
Attorney Ronnie Earle to help
* prosecutors select jurors who can
be fair and independent.
Gordon said Hutchison’s defense
lawyers had also contacted him
about working for them, but that he
had agreed to assist Earle.
A mock trial was staged earlier
this month to help prosecutors
determine the outcome of the rase
against Hutchison, a report in the
Austin American-Statesman said.
Richards Staffer Tikes Blame
Gov. Ann Richards’ chief of
staff, John Fainter, has taken the
blame for destroying three years of
the governor’s telephone records.
Though no one has accused
Richards of violating any laws, state
Republican Party Chairman Fred
Meyer said the governor’s staff
must have had something to hide.
Fainter denied trying to hide
something and said the records
were destroyed because the office
was “drowning in paper."
According to state law, telephone
billing information must be kept for
three years, but telephone logs such
as those that were destroyed, can be
discarded after the bills are paid.
The destroyed logs showed what
numbers were called and from what
numbers calls originated.
AG Fires Consumer Lawyer
Scott McCullough, a lawyer
who represented the state in cases
against utilities and telephone com-
panies, has been fired by the Tbxas
Attorney General’s office.
McCullough, who had been with
the office since 1984, joins six
other lawyers in the consumer
protection division who in the last
month have been reassigned, forced
to resign or fired.
Ron Dusek, Attorney General
Dan Morales’ press secretary, said
the personnel changes should not
be inteipreted as a de-emphasis on
consumer protection.
Dusek said he did not know
how many personnel changes have
occurred, or whether there would
be more changes.
Evangelist Wins Court Round
A Texas Supreme Court justice’s
opinion says evangelist Robot
Tilton’s rights have been violated
by a trial judge’s court order to turn
over records of church members
who claimed healing miracles.
Justice Rose Spector wrote the
unanimous opinion that Tilton’s
right of freedom of association
under the First Amendment had
been violated.
The records were among docu-
ments sought in a $50 million law-
suit filed by Norma Smith of Dal-
las, the widow of a Tilton follower.
Mrs. Smith said she suffered emo-
tional distress after Tilton’s Ward
of Faith Outreach Center in Fanners
Branch continued to send her hus-
band requests for money after he
died.
The Supreme Court said a
“compelling state interest” must
be shown before a court may
order the disclosure of membership
in an organization that advocates
particular beliefs.
Judges Limit Pledges
Eighty-eight of the 126 candi-
dates for the Tbxas Supreme Court,
Court of Criminal Appeals and
state district appeals courts have
signed the Fair Campaign Practices
Pledge.
The numbers were made pub-
lic by a coalition of watchdog
organizations, including Common
Cause, Public Citizen, Texas Con-
sumer Rights Action League and
the League of Women Voters.
The pledge grew out of a
study that showed from 1988 to
1990 Texas Supreme Court election
winners received 87 percent of
their campaign contributions from
sources that most frequently appear
before the court.
Pledge signers promise to limit
their campaign spending to $2 mil-
lion, total political action com-
mittee contributions to $50,000,
single law firm contributions to
$25,000 and individual contribu-
tions to $5,000.

Clark Wins Big In Scramble
FORT WORTH - Robert William
Clark of Clifton FFA was among
eight winners at the Fort Worth Calf
Scramble during the 8 p.m.
performance of the Southwestern
Exposition and Livestock Show Rodeo
Jan. 25 in Will Rogers Coliseum.
Featured during each of the 28
performances of the Stock Show
Rode, the Calf Scramble includes
participants from 4-H Clubs and FFA
chapters from across the state.
Clark, the son of Robert and Iris
Clark of Clifton, was presented with
a certificate valued at $500 for
successfully catching, haltering, and
leading a calf to the scramble judges.
The sponsor for his effort was the
Fort Worth Star-Telegram..
After purchasing heifers of their
choosing, winners must follow a set
of Calf Scramble guidelines and
return to show their heifers in the
junior division of the 1995
Southwestern Exposition and
Livestock Show.
In addition, they have an
opportunity to share in a $20,500
scholarship fund for use in their
freshman year at college. Scholarship
selections will be based on points
awarded for correspondence with the
sponsors and the Stock Show office,
record-keeping on each heifer, results
from showing here next year, and an
essay outlining future goals.
Title sponsors for the event are
Ihrantula Railroad and Justin Boots.
Justin awards a pair of boots to the
scramblers who do not catch a calf
“We are pleased to make this
contest available to Texas youngsters
with the hope they'll be encouraged
to continue their education in the
field of agriculture," said W.R. Watt,
Jr., Stock Show president/manager.
He also voiced a note of “appreciation
to the 224 individualsand businesses
who band together to help sponsor
this opportunity for our state’s
youths.”
of a desegregated housing project

court action in an investigation by
the Texas Commission on Human
Rights into alleged civil violations
of the Texas Fair Housing Act by
two factions of the Ku Klux Klan.
■ U.S. Ren. Mike Andrews, who
is seeking the Democratic nomina-
tion for U.S. Senate, received the
endorsement of former Lt. Gov.
Bill Hobby. Hobby said the six-term
Houston congressman has the best
chance of unseating Republican Kay
Bailey Hutchison.
■ Former Attorney General Jim
Mattox, another U.S. Senate hope-
ful, won the endorsement of
the Texas Coalition of Black
Democrats. Prior to the coalition's
convention, Mattox had accused
one of his rivals, Dallas investor
Richard Fisher, of trying to buy the
group’s endorsement. Fisher de-
nied the charge.
