Texas judicial oaths
irk O’Hair at trial
United Press International
AUSTIN — Atheist Madalyn Murray O’Hair contended Tuesday a
Texas court has no authority to try her on misdemeanor charges of
disrupting a prayer at a City Council meeting, and threatened to sue
the prosecutor, judge and court officials for damages if they proceed
with the trial.
O’Hair contends the Texas judicial system is unconstitutional be
cause it requires officers of the court, including all attorneys licensed in
the state, to acknowledge the existence of a supreme being.
“I intend to sue every single clerk in this court, I intend to sue
(prosecutor Joe) Turner and I intend to sue you personally for dam
ages,” she told Judge Brock Jones of County Court at Law No. 1.
O’Hair has asked Jones to remove himself from the case and asked
for a court-appointed attorney to represent her in the case. She sug
gested Tuesday Jones designate University of Texas law professor
Charles Alan Wright as her attorney, saying she believes he would
determine the Texas judiciary is unconstitutionally biased against
atheists.
Jones set a hearing for Aug. 11 on the motion to remove himself from
the case, and told O’Hair he intends to have an attorney appointed to
represent her before that date.
She filed half a dozen motions, including a request that her trial be
moved to a federal court outside Texas, and that Jones request the
opinion of a federal court on the constitutionality of Texas provisions
she says require all members of the judiciary to acknowledge the
existence of a God.
After the hearing, O’Hair told reporters, “I am right and I will prove
it, I don’t give a damn if it takes five years. Any attorney appointed to
represent me must acknowledge the existence of a supreme being.
Would I want some fruit like that representing me?”
O’Hair interrupted the prayer at a November 1977 meeting of the
City Council, contending it violated the separation of church and state.
She was charged with disrupting a public meeting, a misdemeanor.
Security beefed up
at camp for refugees
United Press International
FORT CHAFFEE, Ark. —Adequate security remains the biggest
concern of Army and civilian officials at this huge Cuban processing
and relocation center.
Three state troopers and 100 members of the Puerto Rico National
Guard joined the security forces at Fort Chaffee Monday because of
growing public concern for community safety.
Officials Tuesday revealed numerous minor criminal acts by a few of
the 19,000 refugees at Fort Chaffee, but contended the Cubans did not
represent a serious criminal problem at the base. They attributed
many of the problems to a lack of understanding and restlessness.
Lt. Col. A. T. Brainerd said one of the mess halls was broken into
Monday night and 64 pounds of sugar and four knives were stolen. He
said he assumed refugees were responsible. He said all knives were
removed from the cafeterias Tuesday because of the incident.
“There has been no indication of violence towards Americans by
refugees,” Brainerd said.
Bill McAda, a spokesman for the Federal Emergency Management
Administration, said several minor incidents have convinced the pub
lic the refugees are hardened criminals being imprisoned at Chaffee.
‘‘We are not running a prison,” he said. “I don’t think there should
be any concern that these people will harm the local community.”
U.S. Deputy Marshall Jim Smith confirmed 18 refugees were in the
Sebastian County jail Tuesday, but said five would return to the base
later in the day.
In response to a question of how many potential troublemakers or
criminals are among the refugee population, Smith said, “It’s a very
small amount. Sometimes their patience runs a little short. They are
very anxious to be processed and be united with their families in the
U.S.”
Smith said three refugees now in custody would be transferred to a
federal penitentary in Atlanta, Ga., at the request of the Immigration
and Naturalization Service. Smith said the INS did not disclose the
reasons, only that “they were not the kind of people we want in the
camp.”
Authorities confirmed Tuesday three incidents of refugees leaving
the base without permission, but said all involved refugees looking for
cigarettes. He said mobile dispensaries sold 272 cartons of cigarettes to
refugees Monday, likely preventing similar incidents.
