By The ASSOCIATED PRESS
Texas Railroad Commission can
didate Jon Newton says federal con
trol of natural gas sold within Texas
would be disastrous to the state’s
economy.
Newton, a Democratic hopeful,
said such intrastate federal regula
tion would cause a loss of $7 billion in
personal income and 36,000 jobs
over the next decade.
“Texas families, farms and busi
nesses are suffering greatly from ris
ing utility costs,” Newton said Tues
day in Austin, “but we are only fool
ing ourselves if we think that the
federal government will give us any
kind of lasting relief by imposing
neyv controls.”
Newton said nationwide deregula
tion of natural gas is “our only real
hope of fairness for the people of
Texas.”
Lane Denton, another Demo
cratic candidate for the commission,
said Tuesday in the Dallas-Fort
Worth area that he had been en
dorsed by the Texas Association of

tion committee of ACORN that he
supports the lifeline utility rate
structure and believes that “lifeline
rates would be ordered for utilities
by the Railroad Commission.”
Denton said he opposed large user
discounts for big corporations, banks
and industries.
In campaigning for the U.S. Se
nate, U.S. Rep. Alan Steelman, a
Republican candidate, told a Pampa
audience Tuesday that he will con
tinue to fight efforts to repeal the
Hatch Act, concerning political ac
tivities of federal employes.
“It would open the door for politi
cal bossism,” Steelman told a lunch
eon of area Republicans.
“Can you imagine an Internal
Revenue Service auditor investigat
ing tax fraud while running for
elected office and asking for political
contributions in the same commu
nity?” he said.
Steelman said he would vote to
sustain President Ford’s veto of the
Federal Employees’ Political Ac
tivities Act of 1975.

The names of Betty Ford and
Nancy Reagan will not be on the Re
publican ballot in Texas’ May 1 Re
publican primary, but they are carry
ing the bulk of campaign work for
their husbands this week in Texas.
President Ford and former
California Gov. Ronald Reagan, who
have campaigned in Texas in recent
weeks, will be back next week before
the vote.
Mrs. Ford picked up a citizens
band radio handle as “First
Mamma.” She has carried the Ford
message to the Rio Grande Valley
and Corpus Christi next. After
spending the night in Corpus
Christi, Mrs. Ford will campaign
today in San Jacinto.
Mrs. Reagan arrived Tuesday af
ternoon in Denton, greeted cam
paign workers in Waco and pro
ceeded to Odessa, where she spent
the night. She planned appearances
today in Odessa and Kerrville before
going to San Antonio later this after
noon.
In Harlingen, Mrs. Ford was met
Tuesday by a group of Mexican-
American dancers. She clapped as
she listened to the Mexican Hat
Dance. She also visited an elemen
tary school where two children pre
sented her a Bicentennial scrap
book. In Corpus Christi, she at
tended a private reception and cam
paigned at a shopping mall.
Mrs. Reagan told campaign work
ers in Waco that her husband’s can
didacy was “healthy for the Republi
can party.” She said a victory for Re
agan in the Texas primary would
mean the GOP presidential nomina
tion could “possibly go down to Kan
sas City undecided.”
Mrs. Reagan will participate in the
Fiesta Week ceremonies in San An
tonio tonight.

HOUSTON — Democratic can
didate Jimmy Carter says the Texas
presidential primary statute is a
“disgrace. ”
“The biggest challenge we had all
year was getting a slate of delegates
on the ballots in Texas. It required a
major campaign, a lot of money, a lot
of work.
“It obviously was designed to en
hance the candidacy of Senator
Bentsen when he was a viable candi
date,” he said.
Senator Lloyd Bentsen, D-Tex.,
now is running as a favorite son can
didate in the May 1 presidential
primary but has withdrawn as a can
didate in other states.
“A presidential primary statute
should he designed to encourage full
participation by all candidates, ” Car
ter said. “Fortunately, the Texas
Legislature had the good judgment
to put a ‘self-destruct’ clause in the
statute after this one primary.
Carter also said voters should be
permitted to vote for a candidate by
name instead of for a slate of conven
tion delegates committed to his can
didacy.
“It is a very difficult procedure for
voting,” he said. “It has been ex
plained to me hut I still don’t under
stand it.”
Carter left the Pennsylvania pri
mary campaign to make the one-stop
Texas trip. After a fund-raising
breakfast, he returned to Pennsyl
vania for Tuesday’s election.
