Tower, Krueger both pointing accusing fingers
United Press International
I AUSTIN — Sen. John Tower,
I,-Texas, and his Democratic chal-
rnger, U. S. Rep. Boh Krueger,
lave accused each other of trying to
pislead voters.
My opponent has resorted to
latant demagoguery over the pro
posed constitutional amendment
which would put the District of Co
lumbia on the same footing in Con
gress as the states,” Tower said Fri
day .
Krueger said Tower is buying ad
vertisements to falsely brand him as
an opponent of right-to-work laws.
“John Tower and some of the
members of his ‘closed shop’ have
purchased advertising throughout
Texas blatantly misrepresenting my
position on the closed shop vs.
right-to-work laws of Texas,”
Krueger said. “I have always sup
ported right-to-work.”

Tower said Krueger tried to
polarize minorities by saying To
wer’s vote against giving the District
of Columbia two senators and a rep
resentative indicated an insensitiv
ity to the concerns of blacks.
“Voting representation in Con
gress for the District of Columbia is
not a racial issue,” Tower said. “If
my opponent is so concerned about
the interests of minority groups in
this instance, he ought to think
twice about how this action will ef
fect the minority groups in our own
state.”
Tower said the constitutional
amendment would dilute the power
of Texas’ and other states dele
gations in Congress.
Krueger hit Tower for taking jun
kets to foreign nations at taxpayers’
'expense and voting for a 29 percent
pay raise for himself and other
members of Congress.

DALLAS — The doctor’s an-
ounceinent to Linda Whisenant
: she was pregnant sent the 24-
ear-old woman and her husband
itoa flurry of preparations.
But the news six months later that
condition had been misdiag-
|osed shattered the couple’s plans
id dreams.
So Mrs. Whisenant and her hus-
d, Melvin, have filed a damage
suit in state district court against
Dr. John O. Baker for their mone
tary losses and “mental anguish.”
Mrs. Whisenant s attorney, John
Albritten, said Friday the “lower-
income” couple, married three
years, was living in a modest home
in Dallas when Mrs. Whisenant had
a pregnancy test in May 1977.
Albritten said the woman’s physi
cian, Baker, confirmed she was

[AUSTIN — So far this year 2,355
;rsons have died in traffic acci-
mts, an increase of 10 percent
let the figure for the same period
1977.
cials reported 221 more highway
deaths by noon Saturday than the
2,134 recorded during the same
period of 1977.
Fatal accidents totaled 2,051, up
188 from the 1,863 fatal mishaps re
pregnant and began prescribing
drugs and treatment. The total bill
for these services, he said, cam to
about $300.
But that wasn’t the biggest loss.
The Whisenants, concerned that
their house payments might inter
fere with their ability to care for the
child, moved in with relatives.
Albritten said the situation
changed in November 1977, when a
month after she stopped going to
Baker, Mrs. Whisenant visited
another doctor. Then she was told
she never had been pregnant.
The Whisenants’ suit seeks an un
specified amount of damages for the
time she thought she was pregnant,
as well as recovery of the money
spent for drugs, the loss of their
home and the "mental anguish” she
says she suffered on learning she
was not pregnant.
Baker has refused comment on
the suit, citing advice from his at-
