AUSTIN — Gov. Bill Clements Wednesday said the
ce Clubv tuation with Iran is more serious than the Cuban
■in. to4p : fissile crisis and President Carter is making a mistake
V>t telling the American people so.
“It’s going to get worse before it gets better,” said
fements. I think the president is making a serious
Hake in not advising the American public that this is
to 2 p.m,.idecd a very, very serious crisis.”
Clements, who served as deputy defense secretary
nder presidents Nixon and Ford, declined to discuss in
|ic what steps Carter should take against Iran but
ihe will go to Washington Friday to offer his advice
the White House.
pRrter, his national security adviser, Zbigniew Brze-
iski, and Energy Secretary Charles Duncan will meet
th governors from across the nation from 11:30 a.m.
, til 3 p.m. Friday to discuss the Iranian crisis and

The Republican governor, an outspoken critic of Car
ter’s policies on energy and many other issues, has been
uncharacteristically reluctant to comment on the presi
dent’s handling of the Iranian situation.
“This business is far too serious for me to be kibitzing
about what our president is doing,” Clements said. “It’s
not only unbecoming, it’s not constructive to be 1,200
miles away and second-guessing what the president is
doing in crisis management.”
“You have to think back to the early 60s and the
Cuban missile crisis, the Mayaquez incident with the
seizing of that ship in the South China Sea and the
Korean crisis over the shooting of the captain in the tree
chopping incident,” Clements said. “This situation in
Iran is far more serious than all three of those put
together.”
Clements said he anticipates the Iranian situation will
be a subject of discussion at the Republican Governor’s
Conference in Austin this weekend but plans to tell
them, “My position is to lie down and be quiet and
support the president. You don’t have any other
choice.”

HOUSTON — Mayoral candidate
Louis Macey will receive police pro
tection during evening political
appearances because shots were
fired Monday into one of his cam
paign vans, police said.
Macey said Tuesday he does not
believe the shots, fired while a cam
paign worker was alone in the vehi
cle driving through a predominently
black neighborhood, were intended
for the campaign.
“You never can tell when there’s a
real nut out there,” Macey said.
“There was a bomb scare at our
headquarters and our headquarters
was broken into.
“The shooting incident we don’t
think was related to the campaign,
but you add them all up and you feel
like you ought to take every precau
tion you can.”

scue us eventually, even if it meant
we would get killed.
“At least that way we’d save our
country’s reputation,” Holdren said.
Holdren said most of the volun
teers are “seasoned veterans with
combat experience — former Green
Berets, Rangers, paratroopers and
Marines. They are extremely patrio
tic people.
Holdren served in naval intelli
gence during the Vietnam War.
Most of the volunteers do not want
their names known unless a swap can
be arranged, Holdren said. He said
there are plenty of people ready to
go, however, and his phone rang
continuously Monday night after he
was interviewed about his plan on a
local television station.
Lawrence Laake, 29, a mainte
nance engineer, said he is ready to
join Holdren to uphold two constitu
tional principles he said are involved
in the controversy. One, Laake said,
protects Shah Mohammad Reza
Pahlavi from being turned over to
Iran and the other protects the Ira
nian students in this country and up
holds their right to say what they
want.
“If the State Department keeps
dragging its feet, there might be vio
lence in here (against the students)
and that would be very unfortun
ate,” Laake said.

Raspberry said the order was

The action Tuesday caused 90

“There is a lot of Iranian cargo in
the Port of Houston destined to go
