AUSTIN — Rep. 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.
But Washington made it clear he is
at content for himself or other
louse members to choose between
re leading contenders — Reps,
ihn Bryant, D-Dallas, and Gib
ave instantvoi ew j S) D-Fort Worth — for
icnths before! layton’s successor.
“I expect Bill Clayton to be re

Three other speaker candidates,
Reps. Bill Caraway, D-Houston;
Wayne Peveto, D-Orange; and Lynn
Nabers, D-Brownwood, have with
drawn in the past week.
“I decided to run because Car
away backed out, Peveto backed out
and Nabers backed out and those
people represented a medium be
tween Bryant and Lewis,’’ Washing
ton said.
“I wish to offer a clear and logical
alternative. 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.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme

suspect’s Miranda rights are

a contendeit dice draw incriminating state-
ents from him.
The majority opinion said the re

actions, the definition of interro-
tioncan extend only to the word or
dons on the part of police officers
at they should have known were
asonably likely to elicit an incrimi-
ting response.”
The ruling was on a case where the
lode Island Supreme Court over-
med a Providence man’s convic-
m for the kidnapping-murder of a
b driver on grounds he was subtly
erced into making incriminating
itments.
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.

er John Bryant nor Gib Lewis is the
logical alternative to Speaker
Clayton,” he said.
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.
