Brilab hampers Clayton’s re-election
United Press International
AUSTIN — Allegations linking
Speaker Bill Clayton to the FBI’s
Brilab (bribery-labor) investigation
have caused a marked change in the
attitude of House members towards
Clayton’s plans for an unpre
cedented fourth term, and members
now are talking about a change in
speakers, a candidate for that job said
Tuesday.
Rep. Lynn Nabers, D-
Brownwood, a close ally of Clayton’s
United Press International
AUSTIN — George Bush has
caught Ronald Reagan at the top of
the field of Republican presidential
candidates in Texas, but President
Carter would beat them all, accord
ing to the latest Texas Monthly poll.
The poll, conducted Feb. 5-9,
shows Carter far ahead of Sen. Ed
ward Kennedy, D-Mass., (69 per
cent to 22.9 percent, with California
Gov. Jerry Brown getting 3.4 per
cent) in the Democratic primary and
substantially ahead of all Republi
cans.
Although Connally still has more
support in Texas than in any other
state, the 2-to-l margin he enjoyed
in past polls has evaporated, Texas
Monthly said. The February poll
showed Texas preferring Reagan
(33.7 percent) and Bush (32.8 per
cent) over Connally (25.4 percent).
Sen. Howard Baker, R-Tenn., the
only other Republican making a
showing, was the choice of 5 percent
of the Texas Republicans inter
viewed.
The Texas Monthly pollsters inter
viewed 1,000 registered voters from
selected areas of the population.
The magazine said Carter’s sup
port has grown since the first poll in
January, and that Kennedy lost sup
port in every geographic region ex
cept Bexar County (San Antonio).
Statewide in January, Kennedy was
strongly preferred over Carter by
both blacks and Mexican-Americans,
but has since dropped behind among
black voters, though he has kept his
support among Mexican-Americans.
The poll said Bush has gained sup
port in every geographical area of
Texas since his surprise victory Jan.
21 in the Iowa caucus.
Riverboat
dry-docked
during the past three sessions who
concedes he now is devoting full
time to his campaign to succeed
Clayton, said many members are re
luctant to commit their support to
another candidate in the speaker’s
race until they see the outcome of
the allegations against Clayton.
“Nobody wants to do anything to
hurt Billy, I don’t think, Nabers
said. “But there sure has been a shift,
I think, in the attitude of the mem
bership. Now they’re talking about a
change. I don’t think they necessari
ly want a change, but privately
they’re admitting there’s probably
going to be one.’
There has been speculation, sup
ported by Clayton and his aides, that
the speaker would resign his leader
ship position if he is indicted by a
federal grand jury in Houston.
He is scheduled to appear before
that grand jury in March to answer
questions about his conversations
with an undercover agent for the FBI
who approached Clayton about help
ing Prudential Insurance Co. secure
a multimillion dollar state insurance
contract, and about charges that he
then had a labor leader leave a stack
of $100 bills on the speaker’s desk.
Clayton concedes L.G. Moore left
the money, but he said he never in
tended to accept it. Clayton also has
confirmed that the agent mentioned
up to $600,000 in campaign contri
butions for Clayton and his friends if
Prudential was awarded the con
tract.
Shortly before the allegations
against Clayton became public. Rep.
John Bryant, D-Dallas, announced
he would challenge Clayton in 1981
for the speaker’s job.

pared to spend full time campaigning
for the speaker’s position.

Since the allegations surfaced, at
least five other candidates are discus

“I’m spending a lot of time down
here (in Austin) and a lot of time on
the road,” he said. “I’m pretty well
committed to make a run at the thing
full time.”
Nabers said he has drawn little
support from lobby groups, who gen
erally are considered to be backing
“I’ve been trying to do
work with members, tint
hope would elect the ncit
Nabers said. “I am gettij;
good support, a lot of good
agement. ”
Clayton returned to fe
office Tuesday, but on the
his attorneys declined to
bribery allegations against
reporters.
Bush catches
Reagan in poll
United Press International
ST. LOUIS — City leaders are
aghast at prospects of losing a vener
able tourist attraction, the excursion
boat Admiral.
“The Admiral has been part of the
heritage of this community as long as
I can remember,” Mayor James F.
Conway said last Wednesday. “It
just wouldn’t be the same old river
front without it.”
The Admiral has plied the Missis
sippi River for 40 years. The ship is
often paired visually with the Gate
way Arch on riverfront postcards.
Advertised as the world’s largest
excursion boat, it has a capacity of
4,000 passengers. Countless resi
dents and visitors carry with them
memories of childhood afternoons
spent playing in the Admiral’s penny
arcade or dancing to big bands on
moonlight cruises.
“I couldn’t imagine summer in St.
Louis without the Admiral,” said
James O’Flynn, president of the Re
gional Commerce and Growth Asso
ciation .
O’Flynn’s comment typified the
stunned reaction to a recent copyr
ight story in the St. Louis Post-
Dispatch. The report said the
Admiral has canceled its 1980 season
and may never return to St. Louis
from dry dock in New Orleans.
The Coast Guard last May ordered
the ship to undergo repairs to its
steel hull and banned cruises in the
interim. During last summer’s tour
ist season the boat was moored on
the riverfront, open to visitors to
stroll its five decks but not for any of
the customary short trips to South
St. Louis.
William F. Carroll, president of
Streckfus Steamers Inc., owner of
the Admiral, said arrangements had
been made with Boatmen’s National
Bank of St. Louis to finance $750,000
in repairs to the hull.
However, when the boat was
hauled up in the dry docks last
month in New Orleans, the Coast
Guard found additional hull repairs,
costing $500,000, were needed.
“Boatmen’s told us they were not
going to lend us the additional
$500,000,” Carroll told the Post-
Dispatch.
“They said, ‘We’re not going to
give you anything at all,’ not even the
agreed-on $750,000. They told us to
just get the Admiral out of that ship
yard as quickly and cheaply as pos
sible.”
A statement issued by the bank
said Boatmen’s “is continuing to ex
plore all avenues available to keep
the (Streckfus) company operating in
St. Louis.”
O’Flynn said St. Louis will rally to
save the ship.
