Clements to
help Reagan
l
United Press International
AUSTIN — Gov. Bill Clements said Tuesday Republicans
are prepared to spend $2 million in Texas to help Ronald
Reagan carry the state in November.
Clements, designated Tuesday as Reagan’s Texas campaign
chairman, said $1.5 million of the campaign funds will be
raised in Texas, and another $500,000 will come from Reagan’s
national campaign funds.
The bulk of the former California governor’s television
advertising will be paid for by the national campaign, although
Ernest Angelo of Midland, Reagan’s Texas campaign manager,
said there will be some television ads prepared specifically to
appeal to Texas voters.
“We will have a very broad-based campaign, and we’ll have
,a high emphasis and thrust toward Democrats,” Clements told
a news conference. “I have no doubt in my mind that Governor
Reagan not only will carry Texas, but will be the next president
of the United States.
“This will be a vigorous campaign, and we are confident we
will unite all factions of Texas and will conduct a campaign that
will appeal to all Texans.”
Clements said his political surveys show about 20 percent of
the voters in Texas are declared Republicans, 35 percent are
Democrats, and the remainder are independents or what he
called “ticket-splitters ”.
“That’s where this election is,” Clements said. “Governor
Reagan has an enormous appeal to these independent voters,
and there is no question that they are an extremely important
part of our campaign.”
Clements said Reagan will rely heavily on volunteers in the
Texas campaign, and said he expects 25,000 to 30,000vota
teers to be working for Reagan from September througlillK
election.
Although Clements has been mentioned as a possibler*
ning mate for Reagan, he said Tuesday he does not thinkli
will be chosen for that position and said he has no preferentf
on who Reagan should choose.
“I don’t have any opinion in this regard,” he said. “Thisii
solely Governor Reagan’s decision and it should be based
solely on who can help him win and help him carry out b
strategy and what the thrust of the campaign will be.”
Angelo, who headed Reagan’s Texas campaign in 1976,»i]
serve as deputy campaign chairman and campaign manage:
this year. Rick Shelby, now a regional political director forts
national Reagan campaign, will become campaign directorfe
Texas.
Arizona brush fires
helped by winds
United Press International
Gusty winds and high temperatures are hampering firefighting
efforts in at least four Arizona brush and timber blazes crackling across
more than 11,000 acres.
The largest blaze, out of control in the west-central desert 4 miles
south of Bagdad, burned more than 6,500 acres of brushy desert.
Firefighters hindered Monday by 105-degree heat and 20 mph
winds had hoped to contain the blaze Monday night.
But, said Bureau of Land Management spokesman Dick Thomas,
“we don’t seem to be getting any relief from the wind, in fact its
increased since the start of the fire. Today we’ve been lucky with it.”
Thomas said night fire lines had been built “all the way around” the
blaze with the exception of one end that was heavily bombarded with
fire-retardant chemicals.
In another blaze 150 miles to the east, firefighters declared the
Curley Seep Spring fire north of Flagstaff contained at 2,300 acres.
Firemen battled the flames for nearly 53 hours.
“It’s looking pretty good right now,” a U.S. Forest Service spokes
man said Monday night. “Today we had pretty high winds and they
managed to hold it within the fire lines so if it holds up, we’ll have it
whipped tomorrow. ”
The blaze started Saturday and scorched more than $2 million of
valuable Ponderosa pine 20 miles north of Flagstaff near Kendrick
National Park.
Forest Service spokesman Dan Deiss said officials will survey the
burned portions of the Coconino National Forest to determine dam
ages and rehabilitation recommendations.
In the extreme southeastern portion of the state, a blaze started by
lightning and fueled by heavy shrub and grass blackened nearly 2,500
acres 2 miles northeast of Bisbee.
Firefighters encountering rugged terrain were forced to wait for the
fire to burn toward a more accessible area.
“Our problem is the steep territory,” said Bruce Devault, fire
management officer for the state Department of Forestry. “There’s a
lot of areas in there we can’t get into so we just have to wait for the fire
to come to us.”
Firefighters burned lines to hold the blaze within boundaries and
hoped to contain the fire sometime today with full control Wednesday.
IRS ‘illegal’ evidence
now legal. Court says
United Press International
WASHINGTON — It began as a dinner engagement with an under
cover female detective, hired to distract a foreign bank officer while
agents photographed the contents of his briefcase.
It ended Monday when the Supreme Court decided a federal judge
lacked authority to suppress the illegally obtained evidence in the
prosecution of another person for having a bank account in the
Bahamas.
Ruling, 6-3, the court said the evidence obtained by the govern
ment’s illegal search may be used against Jack Payner of Beachwood,
Ohio, charged with falsely stating on a federal income tax return he did
not have a foreign bank account.
The search was part of the government’s eight-year Internal Re
venue Service probe to uncover secret American bank accounts in the
Bahamas.
As part of the plan known as “The Briefcase Caper,” the IRS hired a
female detective to have dinner with a vice president of the Castle
Bank and Trust Co. while other agents photographed documents in his
briefcase.
The documents listed over 300 names, including prominent Amer
ican businessmen, entertainers and several reputed mob figures.
Some observers believe the documents might have led to the biggest
tax evasion case in history although the bank may have been tied to the
CIA, causing complications for any prosecutions.
Writing for the majority. Justice Lewis Powell said a defendant’s
constitutional rights against illegal searches are violated only when the
challenged conduct directly violates his privacy rights.
And he said a federal court does not have the supervisory power to
suppress otherwise admissible evidence because it was seized unlaw
fully from a third party.
Three dissenting justices, however, had harsh words for the govern
ment’s action.
“(The ruling) effectively turns the standing rules created by this
court for assertions of Fourth Amendment violations into a sword to be
used by the government to permit it deliberately to invade one per
son’s Fourth Amendment rights in order to obtain evidence against
another person,” wrote Justice Thurgood Marshall for the dissenters.
In other action Monday, the court:
—Ruled that, under limited circumstances, a lawyer who unreason
ably and vexatiously delays court proceedings may be forced to pay his
opponent’s attorneys’ fees.
— Ruled federal district courts have broad discretion in deciding
whether to hear witnesses already heard by a magistrate in a suppres
sion proceeding.
—Unanimously decided a dockworker injured on land may apply for
worker’s compensation under state or federal law.
Scientists find evidence of
ancient global catastrophe
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Scientists drilling into the flanks of a mountain
under 14,000 feet of water have turned up new evidence chronicling
the mysterious events that wiped out most surface life forms in the seas
65 million years ago.
The Scripps Institution of Oceanography said microscopic fossils
obtained from a core of sediments 1,050 feet thick suggest whatever
was responsible for the mass extinction happened relatively abruptly,
probably in considerably less than 100,000 years.
The fossils concerned only the sea life at the time, but it is known
dinosaurs and many other land species met similiar fates in the same
general time period.
“The close correlation in time between the extinction of the dino
saurs and the disappearance of oceanic surface life may emphasize the
interdependence of land and marine life and it may also point to a more
dramatic event in the history of the Earth,” a Scripps report said
Monday.
. One theory suggests an asteroid collided with the Earth, generating
a global dust cloud that blocked out the sun for a few years. A new idea
is that extremely intense volcanic activity known to have occurred at
the time may have temporarily destroyed Earth’s ozone layer, allowing
deadly ultraviolet radiation from the sun to reach the surface.
The drill core came from a submerged ridge in the southwestern
Atlantic near South Africa.
The sediments were obtained from the research ship Glomar Chal
lenger as part of the Deep Sea Drilling Project managed by the Scripps
Institution and funded by the National Science Foundation. The ship
obtained the South Atlantic core during a voyage that ended June 1.
Dr. John LaBrecque of Columbia University’s Lamont- Doherty
Geological Observatory said a 24-foot section of sediment contains the
best record yet obtained of the sea life extinction period and may help
scientists unravel the mystery.
