Texas loses power
in U.S, Congress
THE BATTALION Page 7
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1978
United Press International
DALLAS — The 24-member
Texas House delegation will have
new dean, at least one more Repub
lican and a lot less clout when the
96th Congress convenes in January.
But the exact makeup of that del
egation still was in doubt today be
cause of another close race between
bitter enemies Bob Gammage and
Ron Paul in Houston and because of
a possible recount in Dallas.
Jack Brooks, 55, first elected to
Congress at the age of 30, won re-
election with 67 percent of the vote
Tuesday and will go to Washington
as the dean of the delegation, re
placing 78-year-old George Mahon,
who was the dean of Congress be
fore his retirement.
Mahon was one of six members of
the Texas delegation not to seek re-
election and their absence, along
with the defeat of two other incum
bents in the primary, will cause the
Lone Star State to lose 188 years of
experience in Washington.
But Brooks, of Beaumont, is still
one of the most influential men on
Capitol Hill, as is House Majority
Leader James Wright of Fort
Worth, who also won re-election
Tuesday.
Of the 16 incumbents seeking a
return to Washington, 15 were suc
cessful.
The other — Gammage, a Demo
crat — was locked in a typically
close fight with Republican Ron
Paul, against whom he has cam
paigned four times in recent years.
Fewer than 100 votes separated
the two men and a recount seemed
likely.
Republican Tom Pauken of Dal
las, a former aide to Sen. John To
wer, also said he would ask for a re
count in his setback against incum
bent Jim Mattox in the 5th District.
Pauken lost Tuesday by 800 votes.
But even if Paul and Pauken fail
to win a House seat, the Republi
cans will have three representatives
from Texas, an increase of one from
the last session.
In addition to victories by incum
bents Bill Archer of Houston and
Jim Collins of Dallas, who was un-
nopposed. Republican Tom Loeffler
of Hunt, an attorney-rancher, easily
defeated Democrat Nelson W.
Wolff for the District 21 seat vacated
by Bob Krueger, who ran against
Tower for a Senate seat.
In the 19th District, from which
Mahon retired. Democrat Kent
Hance of Lubbock won with 53 per
cent of the vote over George Bush
Jr., of Midland, son of the former
United Nations ambassador. Hance,
34, thus becomes the junior
member of the delegation.
“I think I overcame Bush’s name
identification because I grew up in
this district,” said Hance. “When I
was a government student I
dreamed of just meeting George
Mahon. I never thought I might be
the one to replace him.”
Elsewhere in districts left vacant
by retirees or defeated candidates:
—Phil Gramm of College Station
received 65 percent in winning the
6th District, where Olin Teague had
served for 32 years.
—Marvin Leath of Marlin drew
away from Jack Burgess of Waco to
win in the 11th District, replacing
the retiring W.R. Poage.
—Joe Wyatt of Bloomington, who
had defeated incumbent John
Young in the primary, won in the
14th District over Joy Yates of Cor
pus Christi.
—Charles Stenholm, a farmer
from Stanford, polled 68 percent of
the vote to capture the 17th District
seat held by Omar Burleson, who
served 32 years before retiring.
—George Leland of Houston was
a runaway winner over token oppos
ition in winning the 18th District.
That seat was previously held by
Barbara Jordan.
—Martin Frost of Dallas, a win
ner over incumbent Dale Milford
last spring, captured the 24th Dis
trict over ex-military aide Leo Be
rman of Arlington.

Assassination trend
falls on ’80 president
United Press International
LUBBOCK — The year 1980 could prove to be hazardous for the
newly elected U.S. president, if the trend documented in a Texas
Tech University student’s study holds true.
Julian “Kip” Hyde, a speech communications major seeking his
master’s degree, will present a somewhat mysterious study beginning
Thursday. The study reveals that since 1840, U.S. presidents elected
in years ending in “0” have either been assassinated or have died of
natural causes while in office.
“I can document every aspect presented in the study, he said
recently. “And if the (20-year) cycle continues, the man elected in
1980 had better watch out.”
Hyde will present the study, which will be dramatized by actors,
on campus through Nov. 12.
“We do not try to determine the causes,” Hyde said, “(we) just
present the facts in a documentary fashion.
“Presidents Harrison, Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Harding,
Roosevelt and Kennedy all were elected during a year ending in 0,’
and subsequently died in office of assassination or natural causes,”
Hyde said.
“Only one other president has died in office. Zachary Taylor was
elected in 1848 but died in 1850.”
In his study, Hyde has learned that Lincoln dreamed of his assassi
nation.
“Lincoln described two dreams of his impending death to friends
and associates in the White House, ” Hyde said. “Later, Lincoln’s son
worked for President Garfield. Two days after Lincoln’s son de
scribed his father’s dreams to Garfield, Garfield was shot also. ”
