White speaks here on key issues
By MARK POWERS
Mark White presented a polished
performance for Thursday’s Political
Forum audience, sounding out his
views on key issues in his bid for the
Democratic nomination for attorney
general.
White, former Texas secretary of
state, resigned Oct. 17 to run for at
torney general.
“We have a spirit and pride un
equaled by any of our sister states
that create abundant economic op
portunity here. I want to be a re
sponsible defender of that spirit and
opportunity,” White said in a half-
filled Rudder Tower conference
room before launching into a spirited
defense of his platform.
Preventive counseling to govern
ment agencies was White’s answer to
saving the taxpayers money by keep
ing the state out of court.
“Charges of employment dis
crimination brought against several
state agencies could have been pre
vented through early legal advice
about each agency’s legal respon
sibilities,” said White.
His approach to the office, White
says, would be a friendly one so that
state government would regard the
attorney general as a friend rather
than foe.
White made his strongest state
ments concerning energy programs
and pending legislation. He sees the
issues shaping up as a battle between
Texas interests and the federal bu
reaucracy.
“Our problems in energy are all
political, pure and simple,” White
said. “They stem from false eco
nomic policies forced upon the
energy industry by the federal gov
ernment.
He added that Texas has ample
resources because Texans are willing
to pay the price rather than support-
ing artificially contrived market
prices that benefit no one.
Along similar lines. White said
that an ironic situation exists when
other parts of the country can tell
Texas natural gas producers what
prices will be paid.
White cited the northeast coal
situation as an example of unfair
laws. Texas producers, he said, may
be forced to supply natural gas at a
price set by the federal government
while the same authority encourages
Texas industry to buy coal at free
market prices.
White hinted that the prices
charged by Texas producers were
not much above cost while coal
prices have soared 350 percent since
1973.
When questioned about the duties
of attorney general, White stressed
that the office had more civil respon
sibilities than criminal duties.

PLO claims Israelis killed
United Press Internafional
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Palestinian
guerrillas say they have gunned
down 20 Israeli soldiers and officers,
and clashed with Israeli tanks in
ighting that stood in sharp contrast
to this week’s diplomatic moved to-
r Ogri ward a Middle East peace.
The Popular Front for the Libera
tion of Palestine said gunmen
opened fire on a packed Israeli mili
tary bus Wednesday afternoon near
the border town of Metullah.
In Tel Aviv, military sources dis-
Preregistut missed the report as “nonsense.
“Our comrades totally destroyed
the bus,” the Front said in a state
ment. “The bodies are still scattered
around the vehicle. ”
Shortly afterward, a Mercedes
staff car carrying Israeli officers
drew up behind the bus and the
Palestinians unleashed a second
burst of machinegun fire, the state
ment said.
“There were 20 killed officers and
soldiers,” in the two attacks, it said.
The guerrilla group later said the
staff car belonged to Israeli Defense
Minister Ezer Weizman but did not
say if he was inside the automobile.
Israeli police said Weizman sus
tained light injuries in a car crash on
the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway, far
south of Metullah.
The previous night, guerrilla and
leftist sources said four Israeli tanks
crossed from Metullah into Leba
non. The tanks clashed with Palesti
nian guerrillas near a village 4 miles
inside Lebanon, sources said.
Artillery, heavy machine guns
and rocket-propelled grenades were
used in the battle, which the
sources said killed or wounded an
estimated 10 people on both sides.
The latest violence along the bor
der took place in the midst of a dra
matic new initiative for peace by
Egyptian President Anwar Sadat,
now in Syria to discuss his offer to go
to Israel, and by Israeli Prime
Minister Menahem Begin, who offi
cially invited him to come.
