AUSTIN — Gov. Bill Clements
said Tuesday former California Gov.
Ronald Reagan has strong support in
Texas and has an excellent chance of
beating President Carter in the
state.
Clements, however, would not
speculate on what impact former
Gov. John Connally would have if he
chose to endorse Reagan. Connally,
who dropped out of the GOP pres
idential primary race two weeks ago,
was to appear with Reagan in Long
view Tuesday.
Still Clements said he would not
comment until Connally officially
endorsed Reagan.
“Let’s wait until he does it,” he
told reporters at an informal news
conference outside his office.

Attorney Melvyn Carson Bruder
said the statute broadens the cir
cumstances under which a prospec
tive juror may be excluded. It allows
the striking of citizens unable to
swear their deliberations will not be
affected by the death penalty.
“I don’t think any self-searching
person will say anything but, ‘Of
course, this will affect my delibera
tions, ”’ Bruder said.
Bruder told the high court that
prospective jurors were excluded
from Adams’ trial based on their re
sponse to taking the oath.
Adams was convicted and sent
enced to die for the murder of a
police officer in Dallas on Nov. 28,
1976.
While all those disqualified were
unable to swear that they would not
be affected in their deliberations,
those prospective jurors all stated
they would not automatically vote
against the death penalty regardless
of the evidence in the case.
In its 1968 ruling known as the
Witherspoon doctrine, the Supreme
Court said jurors troubled by the
death penalty may be excluded if it is
established they would automatical
ly vote against it.
The NAACP Legal Defense and
Educational Fund, Inc., which rep
resents condemned prisoners, esti
mates a ruling in the case would
affect about half of the 52 death cases
upheld by the Texas courts.
In other action Monday, the Sup
reme Court agreed to consider
whether a Texas man may be sued for
an alleged conspiracy even though a
named co-conspirator was a state
judge immune from^uit for his offi
cial actions.

JSTIN — The Legislature for

alleges are heading for serious

junior college funding.
“The Legislature gives us an infla
tion factor of 5.1 percent, when the
inflation rate is 13.3 percent, so you
can see we re losing ground fast.”
Langford is among three junior
college presidents on the special
committee which will study the cur
rent formula for distributing state aid
to junior colleges, and recommend
changes to the 1981 Legislature.
Langford suggested the state con
tinue using its present funding for
mula, but increase the inflation fac
tor to keep pace with the actual rate
of inflation.
Trial judge biased,
legislator charges
United Press International
AUSTIN — The chairman of
the Mexican-American Legisla
tive Caucus demanded Tuesday
that Judge Woodrow Seals dis
qualify himself from a Houston
suit concerning free public edu
cation for illegal aliens on grounds
he is prejudiced against Mexican-
Americans.'
Rep. Paul Moreno, D-El Paso,
said Seals had stated the Spanish
language is not worthy of being
taught in Texas schools, and that
“nothing of worldwide import
ance has ever been written in
Spanish.”
Moreno said that remark is suf
ficient to disqualify Seals from the
case.
“The chief function of a judge is
to administer justice. No judge
with such a deep bias that has
direct relevance to the case he is
to hear should permit himself to
sit,” Moreno said in a printed
statement.
He said Seals should have dis
qualified himself from hearing
the case before the trial began, or
at the time he discovered his“bias.
“The judge’s comments cast
doubt on his integrity and the in
tegrity of the process he is super
vising. Furthermore, consider
ing the importance of the Spanish
language and Spanish speakers to
the political and economic life of
the state of Texas, the judge’s
comments are dangerously ignor
ant,” Moreno said.
Langford also complained that pay
for junior college teachers is falling
behind that of other educators, and
noted Gov. Bill Clements has said he
will recommend a 3.4 percent pay
increase in January for state em
ployees, including senior college and
university instructors.
“If you’re going to give senior col
lege faculties and state employees a
3.4 percent pay increase in the mid
dle of the biennium, why not give it
to community college employees?”
he said.
Rep. Jerry Donaldson, D-
Gatesville, cautioned Langford and
the other junior college officials not
to be too optimistic about getting a
funding increase from the 1981 Leg
islature, however. He said the Leg
islature will have to watch its spend
ing carefully next year to avoid a tax
increase.
“It would be easy enough ttyx>me
up with a formula the junior colleges
could live with, he said. “But we’ve
got to look at it in terms of reality.
There’s not going to be any $3 billion
surplus when the Legislature con
venes in January.”
