John G. Tower, R-Texas, responding to what he termed perversions of truth by his opponent, said Monday there is no evidence that he ever received a cent from Tongsun Park. Tower said Rep. Bob Krueger, D-Texas, who is challenging him in November, had embarked on a plan of distortion cortcerning a Senate Ethics Committee’s interim report on its investigation of Korean influ ence buying in Washington. “I challenge my opponent to come forward with more than naked campaign rhetoric to support his blatant assault upon the integrity of the Ethics Committee investiga tion,” said Tower, who claimed the ethics committee chairman had said there was no impropiety on the part of Tower. “There is no evidence, not a single instance, of any impropriety on my part.” Tower said. Not a single cent was ever transferred by Park to me at any time in my Senate career. I never at any time sought or received a contribution from him. And no one with my authority, con sent, or knowledge ever asked or received one.” Tower said Krueger has at tempted to use the Korean issue to divert attention from other issues in the campaign, such as Krueger’s votes on Social Security taxes, a Labor Reform bill and a military construction appropriation. “Now that my opponent has enjoyed his bid for sensationalism, Texans await his addressing himself to the real isues — issues important to Texas, while I continue to serve our state by voting, by debating and by my presence in the Senate where ta proi act tk s fort rs dministoj a.

Krueger asks Korean hack to testify United Press International WASHINGTON — Rep. Bob Krueger, D-Texas, Monday asked former South Korean Ambassador Kim Dong Jo to return promptly to the United States to testify concern ing his relationship with elected U.S. officials. “Now that Kim Dong Jo has re signed from his official government position, there is no reason for him to be immune from testifying,” said Krueger, who is opposing Sen. John Tower, R-Texas, in the November election. He sent a telegram to the South Korean asking him to testify before congressional committees inves tigating Korean influence buying in Washington. “Last week when the Senate Ethics Committee released the tes timony of its hearings, we found that not all of our elected officials had been truthful,” Krueger said. “And Leon Jaworski, special counsel to the House Committee of Standards of Official Conduct, said he believes Kim Dong Jo has star tling testimony. To know the entire truth about American political in volvement in South Korea, we need the testimony of Kim Dong Jo and full investigation of this matter should not be blocked because we lack this testimony.” o TEA ACCESSORIES BULK TEA TEA BAGS WIDE SELECTION OF WHOLE BEAN COFFEES PflfW y f 55ls : 'ijS I BLENDS OF GIFT-GIVING 3609 E. 29TH 846-4360 ACROSS FROM RUTH’S (MAIL ORDERS AVAILABLE) Page 5 Shield Shaped Diamonds for your Aggie Ring from: ^yCarl Bussells ~iamond Room 3731 E. 29th 846-4708 Town & Country Center i United Press International HOUSTON — A former Texas locratic candidate for governor condemned religious fanaticism st homosexuals and urged gays mand their full human rights.

She equated the plight of homosexuals in the United States to th^t of other minorities. “Racism is not a state issue, just like parenthood and childbearing are not state issues,” she said. “Human rights is a human issue.” She said human rights in America were subjected to the “tyranny of the majority” and the “tyranny of the state.” She said such fanaticism could lead to the wholesale destruction of the human race. “In Nazi Germany, nearly a quar ter of a million homosexuals were executed between 1937 and 1945,” she said, noting that many gays at tending the meeting Sunday were wearing buttons with pink triangles, the symbol the Nazis made homosexuals wear. “Many people remember the Star of David, the symbol of persecution of the Jews, but few people re member the pink triangle,” she said. “Let it be remembered in America today.” United Press International AUSTIN — Disgruntled lawyers Friday filed suit in federal court al leging the State Bar Association is violating the constitutional rights of Texas’ 30,300 attorneys. The suit challenges the legality of a move to assess attorneys to pay off a $3.9 million note on the Bar’s $8 million Texas Law Center. The assessment was approved by a vote of 12,696 to 8,686 in a re ferendum and the State Supreme Court ordered every attorney in the state to pay the prescribed fee May 3. Lawyers opposed to paying the assessment — $138 for most — in addition to annual required dues, contend it is unconstitutional to force them to pay the assessment in order to practice law. CLASS.
