Independent may enter race Tower called ineffective’ By United Press International AUSTIN — Sen. John G. Tower, R-Texas, has been inefiFective during his 17 years in the U.S. Senate and has been insensitive to the rights and dreams of minorities, his Dem ocratic challenger said Monday. Rep. Bob Krueger, D-Texas, who defeated Joe Christie for the Demo cratic nomination and the right to oppose Tower, said Tower already has started his general election campaign with advertising on Spanish language radio stations aimed at attracting Mexican- American votes. But Krueger said Mexican- Americans should know about To wer’s record on civil rights. “What he has not told the Mexican-Americans is that he voted against the 1964 Civil Rights act that would let them stay overnight in a motel, and talked and voted against the Voting Rights Act,” Krueger said. Ki ueger said he expects indepen- dent Henry Grover to join in criticizing Tower’s record in office. Grover, a former GOP candidate for governor, is now attempting to qual ify for a place on the ballot through petitions signed by 17,000 voters who did not participate in either the Democratic or Republican primar ies. Krueger contended Tower is vul nerable on several issues in the long general election campaign. “He is most pointedly vulnerable on his opposition to the rights and hopes of minorities,” Krueger said. “He is vulnerable certainly on things like allowing the Social Secu rity system to go bankrupt. He didn’t care enough about our older Americans to vote to keep the Social Security system from going broke. “Throughout, his record of inef fectiveness is one he’s going to have to live with and one Mr. Grover and I are going to have to address.” Cadets traveling all over world during summer military training Texas A&M’s ROTC programs send more than 300 cadets all over the world this summer for military training. Completion of spring semester final exams Friday signaled their departure for four to six weeks train ing aboard ship in the Mediterra nean, at Air Force bases from Florida to California and the Army’s Fort Riley, Kan. Active duty training for Navy, Marine Corps, Army and Air Force cadets meshes with ROTC academic and Corps of Cadets programs to prepare officer candidates for com missioning. The 76 Air Force, 135 Army and Attorney wants legal status given to surrogate mothers By United Press International DETROIT — An attorney has filed a lawsuit designed to allow couples physically unable to bear a child to pay a “surrogate mother” to have the baby for them. Lawyer Noel Keane said the suit, filed Monday in Wayne County Cir cuit Court, seeks to clarify the state’s adoption law which bars pay ing a mother to enourage her to give up her child. Keane already is handling three cases involving “surrogate mothers” — women who agree to be artifi cially inseminated with a husband’s sperm, bear the child and then give it up to the biological father and his wife. In two of those cases, babies have been born to surrogate mothers chosen by the couples and adoption THE MSC BOOKSTORE WILL BE CLOSED FOR INVENTORY May 17,18,19, & 20 procedures are under way. Keane said the payment provision is “overly broad and unconstitu tional” in cases involving surrogate mothers, violating individual rights to privacy. “Our contention is that there are certain private rights of the indi vidual that the state cannot interfere with unless they have an adequate interest,” he said. “We don’t think they do.” Keane, who two years ago used newspaper advertisements in seek ing a surrogate mother for a couple he represented, said the suit would not lead to “baby selling” or black marketeering in adoptive children.
