Brown criticizes
Jarron on bonds
%
By STARR MOORE
Battalion Reporter
The Republican candidate for
nty attorney, Jeff Brown, took
■her shot Thursday at the incum-
p, John M. Barron Jr.
At a press conference he called,
nvn charged the county attorney
i n failing to collect an estimated
R500 in bond forfeiture money.
Brown said he has discovered at
ast 60 cases where bond money has
Bbeen transferred from the sher-
fs department to the county
idget.
)nce a bond has been forfeited,
punty attorney representing the
? and representing the interest of
people has the obligation and re-
iisibility to make sure that bond is
jlfected and brought into county
lifers,” Brown said.
llowever Barron, contacted later
■rsday, said the money can be col-
cted at any time and that the bond
rfeitures are nothing to get upset
lout.
He said the money is in the county
easury in most cases and that it is
ily a matter of transferring the
funds. The county has certainly not
lost the funds, he said.
“In the last nine months, I’ve been
more interested in prosecuting cases
than in collecting money,” Barron
said. The money is available for col
lection after arrest warrants are
issued but not served. If they are not
found after a year, their bonds are
forfeited by the county court at law
judge.
Barron added the judge has not
ordered forfeitures in “a while. ”
Brown said the 60 outstanding
bond forfeitures that he has disco
vered date back to March of 1978.
Brown did say Barron had col
lected 20 bonds and transferred the
money to county funds, but Brown
does not know where the $20,500 is
or why the judge has not ordered
bond forfeitures in 18 months.
Sheriff Bobby Yeager said there
are 24 forfeitures in his records that
were ordered by the former county
court at law judge Bradley Smith.
He said the county attorney must
file a civil suit in county court to
recover the amount of the bond.
Then, the judge must order the sher
iff to transfer the funds to the county.

Americans can vote for either “an era of limits” under
Jimmy Carter or “an era of potential” under Ronald
Reagan in the Tuesday election, Republican Congress
man Jack Kemp said Thursday.
The congressman from New York spoke to 300 per
sons in Rudder Theater, promoting the Reagan-Bush
ticket. Reagan had reportedly considered Kemp as a
possible running mate before he selected Bush.
Kemp, 45, said Americans can re-elect Jimmy Carter,
whose administration will continue redistributing the
nation’s wealth and increase taxes, or they can elect
Reagan, who will expand the economy with increased
entrepreneurial capitalism.
Kemp is co-author of the Kemp-Roth tax bill, which
Reagan endorses. That bill calls for a 30 percent tax cut
over a three-year period.
The congressman described his bill as a “micro-
economic tax cut” that is “not at all radical. ” He said the
gradual tax cut would repair five years’ damage to the
current tax system.
He said Carter’s administration taxes success, pro
ductivity and savings while subsidizing welfare and un
employment.
“If you tax a factor of productivity, you get less of it,”
he said. “If you subsidize it, you get more. We keep
getting more welfare, more unemployment.”
Kemp said that while Reagan says government causes
inflation, Carter claims that consumers cause inflation.
“The chief mascot of Carter’s administration is the
scapegoat,” he said. Several such one-line attacks on
Carter aroused laughter from the crowd of mostly
Reagan supporters.
“There’s no energy shortage,” he said quietly. “It’s
just a lot of red tape and Mickey Mouse information from
the Department of No Energy.”
Kemp responded eagerly to one particular question.
“How do you think the Chargers will do this year?” a
student asked.
“I’m for the Bills,” Kemp quipped.
Kemp played quarterback for the Buffalo Bills and
then for San Diego Chargers prior to beginning his
political career.
Kyle Field's old turf
not just pitched out
By BELINDA McCOY
Battalion Staff
All of the used Astroturf pulled
up this year in the re-carpeting of
Kyle Field did not go to waste in a
trash bin. Instead, it was sold.
Who would want to buy used
Astroturf?
Associate Athletic Director Wally
Groff says a large portion of the old
turf was purchased by the Astro
dome Corp. The corporation will use
it in the Astro Hall for stock show
exhibitions.
“The concrete floors will be lined
with the Astroturf ... for the cow-
shows, so they won’t be slippery any
more.”
The used artificial turf was also
sold in strips to several individuals.
One of those individuals was for
mer student Keith Langford, now a
Houston businessman. Langford
bought the strip of turf that had the
round T-A-M logo on it. He wanted
to put it around the swimming pool
at his home at Medina Lake, near
San Antonio.
One local business bought a quan
tity of the turf and is now selling it
doormat size, with the T-A-M
emblem, for $25 a square. The own
er said the mats are being bought
mostly by A&M alumni and their
families as keepsakes.
But, she said, the turf squares are
not being used as doormats.
“Some are framing them, some are
even using them as table decorations
to set their punch bowls on.”
