Craig Washing- m, D-Houston, said Tuesday a ma- irity of House members are not itisfied with either of the two lead- contenders to succeed Speaker I Clayton, and entered the speak- ■m e race as a “clear and logical alterna- I s-* J-Si jive” candidate. ffJ j Washington, a four-term member N chairman of the Legislative :k Caucus, said he is a candidate |y to succeed Clayton, and will not ipose him if the speaker resolves S legal problems connected with ie Brilab investigation and seeks a urth term in January.

I want the House to be long to the members.” He advocated a secret ballot for election of the speaker, a ban on the current system of soliciting pledges of support in speaker races, a limit on the number of terms a speaker may serve and platform speeches by each speaker candidate before the elec tion in January. Washington said a large group of House members remain uncommit ted in the speaker race, and are being badgered to either take sides with Lewis or Bryant. “These uncommitted members have shown great fortitude, patience and understanding of the process.

The majority opinion said the re named him iffm^roents 0 f the court’s 1966 the sameliiw i ran dadecision are triggered when person in custody is subjected to ther express questioning or its nctional equivalent. ” But,” it said, “since police surely nnot be held accountable for the ■tary of State, ernor of Mail considered lii tic campaigm mal Democri id of the Seal : spendingpi# foreseeable results of their words is instincts, ipossible.

While driving suspect Thomas In to the station, officers remarked at the murder scene was near a bool for the handicapped, and this parently prompted Innis to lead lice to the murder weapon. The state Supreme Court ruled is “subtle compulsion” was the [Divalent of interrogation. But Justice Potter Stewart wrote for the high court majority that un less “a suspect’s incriminating re sponse was the product of words or actions on the part of the police that they should have known were reasonably likely to elicit an incrimi nating response,” the officers’ re marks do not constitute interroga tion covered by Miranda. Chief Justice Warren Burger, who joined the majority, said he “would neither overrule Miranda, disparage it, nor extend it at this late date.” Under the Miranda rule, police must inform a suspect of his right to a lawyer and to remain silent, and warn that anything he says may be used against him. In the Innis case, police did not directly question the 29-year-old suspect for the January 1975 shotgun murder of John Mulvaney. But while taking Innis to the police station, one officer com mented about the proximity of the school for handicapped children. “God forbid that one of them might find a weapon with shells and they might hurt themselves,” the officer commented. Innis, who earlier chose to remain silent until he saw a lawyer, over heard the conversation and offered to show where the gun was hidden because of the “small kids around. ” He then led police to a sawed-off shotgun, concealed in a rockpile by the road. Rhode Island’s top court ruled the shotgun should not have been used against Innis at his trial, set aside his conviction and life sentence and ordered a new trial. AGGIES!

Washington assured reporters he will be nominated, and will not vote for any speaker candidate other than himself or Clayton. Asked if he thought it possible for a black to be elected speaker, Washington said, “I don’t think I could be elected if the speaker was elected by the popular vote state wide because I don’t think I could get the constituents to look past the color of my skin .... But I think I have done that in the House of Represen tatives. “I’m not running as a black candi date, although I happen to be black as everybody knows. I think I enjoy a better reputation among liberals, moderates and conservatives and among urban and rural members than do either John Bryant or Gib Lewis.” He contended his endorsement of either Bryant or Lewis could assure either of them of election as speaker, but said each lacks some of the qual ities members want in the next speaker. pub tie compulsion ’not part vf Miranda ruling, court says How to register for Summer I classes Texas A&M students who want or have to attend summer classes have a three-week break before the beginning of the first summer session.
