R. Cain Company 3002 South Texas Avenue College Station United Press International HOUSTON — Former Texas Gov. John Connally started a news conference Thursday by announcing plans to campaign for Republican presidential candidate Ronald Reagan, but he really wanted to answer fellow high-powered Hous ton lawyer Leon Jaworski. When introducing Bush at a downtown rally Monday, Jaworski urged Texans to ignore “also-rans who marched up to the altar of public opinion with large campaign chests and who are now back home licking their wounds. They once laughed at George, but now George has the last laugh.” Connally — prosecuted by Jaworski’s Watergate team, but ac quitted of charges that he, as Treas ury secretary, accepted a payoff for backing higher milk price supports — took Jaworski’s remark personally and responded tartly. “I think my only comment would be that, if indeed he is referring to me, that Mr. Jaworski’s PR (public relations) people told him he needed a hype of some kind so he could get back in the news,” Connally said. “That’s the only justification I know for such a remark. “I thought it came with poor grace and bad judgment for Mr. Jaworski to make the statement that he did, and I’m not going to respond in kind. “The only two contests where we really locked horns, his candidate came in third behind Gov. Reagan and me, and that was in Florida and South Carolina. I think when it’s all over we’re all going to be also-rans,” Connally said. Connally bettered Bush in the November Florida straw poll and the South Carolina primary, where both lost to Reagan. But Bush’s Texas chairman, Hal DeMoss, listed Puerto Rico, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Ver mont as places where both Connally and Bush were on the ballot and Bush finished ahead of Connally. Connally attacked Bush’s claim he has more experience for the White House than Reagan. Reagan’s “background and experi ence far exceeds that of his only opponent. They’re not even compa rable,” Connally said. “He (Reagan) was governor of a state for eight years. He knows issues better than anybody in terms of taxes, inflation, energy, bureaucra cy. A governor must deal with a leg islature. “George cites a long list of appointments. But you have to dis tinguish between appointments and achievements,” Connally said. aumevements, v^onnaiiy sam. “In my opinion, the best training presidential candidate can have is to being that strong. But don’t ij pret what I do say as the t invitation.” presidential candidate can nav< be governor of a major state.” Connally said President Carter, a one-term governor of Georgia, might be “the exception that proves the rule,” but Connally also said he did not consider Georgia to be a ma jor state. Connally, who traveled to Dallas and Tennessee with Reagan Thurs day, said he had not discussed, did not want and would be “reluctant” to accept any post in a Reagan adminis tration. But he stopped short of saying he would not serve. “It’s presumptuous of me to just say, ‘Well I’m not going to do it. That doesn’t sound good and doesn’t set well.’ I’ve restrained myself from Connally predicted Reagans win Texas handily, but saidj likely would win “eight or gressional districts.” Texas congressional districts.

In a letter to the utility, Victor Stello, director of the NRC office of inspection and enforcement, said, “...similar items of non-compliance The potential fine for all 22 items of noncompliance cited is $372,000. However, under federal law, the tot al fines for any 30-day period cannot exceed $25,000. Consequently, the proposed fine is $100,000 to cover the 120-day period the NRC investi gated the utility. In addition to the proposed civil penalty, Stello served on HL&P an order to show cause why the con struction permit for the South Texas Projects should not be suspended in 90 days.
