Wright deplores
interest rate policy

WASHINGTON — House Dem
ocratic leader Jim Wright of Texas
said Wednesday the Federal Re
serve Board s high interest policies
were inviting economic disaster and
were one of the principal causes of
inflation.
Wright noted that President
Harry Truman once had ordered the
board to rescind an interest rate in
crease, and Wright said, “It is time,
and past time, for that kind of lead
ership again.”
It was the first strong public
statement against the board’s
policies from a member of the
House Democratic leadership.
Wright noted that New York
banks had raised their prime inter
est rate to 15 percent as the result of
the board’s “misbegotten policy.”
“The Federal Reserve seems to
think that raising interest rates is an
effective way to curb inflation,” he
said. “That, I submit, is like pouring
gasoline on the fire.”

STARTING OVER ^
Wright said that the rate of infla
tion had followed the interest rate as
it rose upward.
“High interest rates are clearly
price inflationary, not deflationary.
They have become, quite clearly,
one of the principal causes of infla
tion,” he said.

AUSTIN — A San Antonio
man’s silence during pre-trial
hearings should not have been
used against him, the Texas
Court of Criminal Appeals ruled
Wednesday in overturning the
capital murder conviction of
Donald Gene Franklin.
Franklin was convicted for the
July 26, 1975, murder of Mary
Margaret Moran and sentenced
to death.
Franklin made three court ap
pearances before the trial but
testified only to facts relating to
certain defense motions. During
the trial the state used Franklin’s
silence during the pre-trial hear
ings against him.
The
death
court in overruling the
sentence said because a
defendant has an opportunity to
testify does not mean he or she is
“expected to speak out.
The criminal appeals court also
reversed the 99-year sentence
assessed against Jerry Michael
Sellers of Hunt County for the
Demerol intoxication of his wife
on Aug. 20, 1974. The woman’s
body was found in a shallow
grave on Oct. 5, 1974.
Before Sellers arrest on Oct.
9, 1974, Merle Capwell, a
Duchane County, Utah, deputy
sheriff executed a search warrant
on Sellers’ trailer house in Utah.
After the search Capwell went to
a nearby mobile home belonging
to Shirley Watson. Cap»i
