Higgason was suspected of being involved in the rape and robbery of a San Antonio woman who was en route to Kerrville late Monday, au thorities said. The woman was forced into her car by two men at a roadside stop on Interstate 10, about 8 miles south east of Kerrville, Fields said. Fields said the woman was robbed of her money and jewelry, and a female accomplice, waiting in a near by car, returned to Kerrville at that point. The two men drove the woman’s car toward Kerrville and along the way, said Fields, they “leisurely raped her.” After the rape, Fields said an argu ment apparently erupted between \ s' If you're worried about cancer, remember this.

Fields said. The trio left for Houston in the kidnapped woman’s car, apparently intending to hold her for ransom, he said. The San Antonio woman escaped at a rest stop near Flatonia, Fields said, and managed to alert someone nearby who called the authorities. Fields said his office was contacted about the kidnapping and put out a bulletin on the woman’s car. A short time later, Johnson and Gonzalez were arrested at Sealy and taken to the Austin County Jail at Bellville. Following the arrest of the pair, Fields said, his department was able to determine where the shooting occurred. He said a .44 magnum pis tol, believed to be the murder weapon, was recovered. Assistant District Attorney Stephens Abies of the 198th district, said Tuesday authorities had not linked the crime spree to the March deaths of two San Antonio men found slain near an Interstate 10 roadside park. The bodies of Robert Skinner, 21, an Abilene Christian University stu dent, and Clifton P. Yates, were found hours apart on March 24. Skin ner had been dead about a week, but Yates apparently died the day his body was found, authorities said. n Clements seed stiffer drug /aw |\ United Press International DALLAS — Gov. Bill Cle ments Tuesday predicted laws ments luesday predicted laws will be introduced to restrict the sale of drug paraphernalia in Texas and to permit the use of wiretaps in cases involving drug dealers. Clements and H. Ross Perot, chairman of the Texas War on Drugs Committee, addressed the problem of drug trafficking and the selling of drug paraphernalia during a luncheon of the Greater Dallas Crime Commission and at a news conference. The officials outfined a three pronged program to curb drug use and traffic in the state. “I can guarantee that as long as I am governor, emphasis (on the drug problem) will increase,” Clements said. "We will con stantly increase pressure. The program will get stronger. We will persist, believe me.” At the news conference, Cle ments said he supports legislation allowing wiretaps on the phones of suspected drug dealers. When asked whether such legislation would endanger the privacy of the citizens of Texas he replied: “I think that kind of sen timent is sheer nonsense. It’s not invading anyone’s privacy except the criminals’. Personally it bores me to hear bleeding heart state ments from those who oppose it. ” Perot said the program being developed to deal with Texas’ in creasing drug problem will de pend on grassroot support in the state. He said the first step will be to educate parents and children to the dangers of drug use. He said his committee also had organized a panel that wilbldr national laws dealing with 4i| use and drug trafficking, compile a proposed setoflawif^ Texas.
