rytime
United Press International
ANAHUAC — Lawyers for
Vickie Daniel say an attempt to
subject her and her two children
to psychiatric examinations is
merely a ploy for the prosecution
to gather more material for her
murder trial.
Mrs. Daniel is charged in the
Jan. 19 shooting death of her hus
band, former Texas House Speak
er Price Daniel Jr.
Daniel’s sister and executrix of
his estate—Jean Daniel Murph of
Richardson, Texas — wants cus
tody of the two children.
Murph has asked Judge W.G.
Woods to order a psychiatric ex
amination of Mrs. Daniel and the
children. A hearing was scheduled
at 10 a.m. Monday.
Murph’s attorney said the
psychiatric examinations are
necessary, but defense attorney
Richard “Racehorse” Haynes said,
“They are doing this so they can
use that lawsuit to enhance the
prosecution in the murder case.
“You don’t have to be too astute
to recognize that Mrs. Daniel is
not a criminal, per se,” Haynes
said. “She has no record of law
breaking.” '
The defense is also seeking to
have the custody suit moved to
Tyler.
Andrew Lannie of Baytown,
one of Mrs. Daniel’s three attor
neys, said the Tyler court would
have proper jurisdiction because
she and the children were resi
dents of Smith County at the time
the custody suit was filed.
Former klansman’s
life threatened
United Press International
DALLAS — A former Ku Klux
Klan member, who said his life
was threatened because of his de
fection, reported he became dis
illusioned upon learning Klan
members in Memphis, Tenn.,
were dealing in drugs, making
pornographic movies and allq>ving
convicted criminals to join.
William H. Seward of Mem
phis, Tenn., told The Dallas
Morning News he quit the Mem
phis Klan chapter in August 1980
because of “unsavory activities”
by some of the Klan’s younger
leaders. He said he learned sever
al Klan members were dealing in
marijuana and cocaine.
“I advised the (Klan) leadership
of it, but no action was taken,
said Seward. “I found out the
leadership was involved in similar
activities, anything from distribu
tion of marijuana and cocaine to
forcing females to make pornog
raphic movies in a motel room.”

Seward has been hiding out at a
Dallas motel since fleeing Mem
phis after being kidnapped and
assaulted Feb. 13 by men he iden
tified as Klansmen.
He said they handcuffed him,
cut off chunks of his hair, threw
yellow paint and feathers on him
and threatened him with death.
Seward said his three abductors
accused him of infiltrating the
KKK for the U.S. Treasury De
partment’s Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms. Seward
denied working as an undercover
agent for any law enforcement
agency.
Seward told Dallas police that
just after his arrival in Texas, an
armed man pulled up in a car and
told him: “We’re going to kill you,
but we’re going to let you squirm
like those guys that got picked up
for kidnapping in Tennessee.”
Seward said he thought the
threat was an attempt to keep him
from testifying in Memphis.
Blind woman’s benefits
cut for 80 cent excess
United Press International
ATLANTA — A blind woman whose Medicaid benefits were can-
ce\eibecause Trier income edged 80 cents over the limit has filed a class
action lawsuit.
Wilma Dye, 59, lost her Medicaid benefits when her husband’s
Social Security benefits pushed the couple over the limit. Her law suit
challenges a state Department of Medical Assistance interpretation of
federal laws on Medicaid eligibility.
Mrs. Dye quit taking domestic jobs 10 years ago to take care of her
husband, William, who had been paralyzed by a back operation.
They received Social Security payments in his name.
Mrs. Dye, ineligible for Social Security because she had never held
a salaried job, was declared disabled in 1978 when diabetes left her
almost blind. She began receiving $1 a month from Social Security, but
the disability qualified her for the state Medicaid program.
Mrs. Dye was told in July that a cost-of-living increase in Social
Security benefits of $40.80 boosted her husband’s total benefits to
$STT.&0 a month — 80 cents over the limit.

Total allergies put
woman in clinic
United Press International
DALLAS — Doctors at an advanced allergy clinic prepared Mon
day for the arrival of a former pop singer from England, allergic to
everything except filtered air and organic foods, reported near death
because of her rare medical condition.
Sheila Rossall Bristol, is suffering from “Total Allergy Syn
drome.” She was scheduled to arrive at Brookhaven Medical Center
this afternoon, where she was to be treated by Dr. Robert Stroud
and Dr. William Rhea, specialists in treating allergies and related
problems.
Brookhaven is one of only four special clinics in the United States
capable of keeping a patient in total environmental seclusion, Stroud
said today.
“She’s going to be treated in the environmental unit,” said
Stroud. “She can be kept away firom various chemicals, perfumes
and the things people use in hospitals like waxes and alcohol. No-
, thing but cotton clothing is allowed in the unit. ”
The London Express reported today Rossall would die within 10
days if the treatment was unsuccessful.
Rossall, 31, has been bedridden and in darkness for more than
three years, cared for by friends. People who get near her cannot use
toothpaste or deodorant for 24 hours before seeing her.
Medical authorities said direct contact with gasoline fumes would
kill the young woman. Processed foods, synthetics and plastics make
her vomit.
A British physician recommended the Dallas clinic, where treat
ment for three months costs about $40,000.
A “Save Sheila” fund was originated by friends in Bristol to help
pay for her treatment. In addition, her apartment in Bristol was to be
remodeled at a cost $10,000 to accomodate her special needs.
Rossall once sang with the English pop group Pickettywitch.
Prison changes are step forward
United Press International
AUSTIN — An agreement by
the state to greatly improve
medical care for inmates in state
prisons and strictly regulate the
health and diet of those in solitary
confinement is a giant step for
ward, the head of a criminal justice
reform group said Monday.
Charles Sullivan, executive
director of Citizens United for Re
habilitation of Errants (CURE),
said the agreement filed Friday
with U.S. District Judge William
Wayne Justice concerns only ab
out one-third of the issues in dis
pute between the state and plain
tiffs in a massive prison suit chal
lenging operations of the Texas
Department of Corrections.
A major remaining issue is
whether the state must provide in
dividual cells for each prisoner, or
may house two prisoners to a cell.
Sullivan predicted that issue will
be appealed to the U.S. Supreme
Court, and told a news confer
ence, “I think it may be unconsti
tutional to have more than one
person to a cell.”
Sullivan also predicted the
Legislature may be forced to meet
in special session to resolve some
of the prison issues if the final
court decision in the case is issued
after the current session adjourns
in early June.
CURE will sponsor a rally at
the Capitol March 25 to lobby for
its programs for expanded com
munity based corrections, Sulli
van said. The governor, fieutenant
governor, speaker, attorney gen
eral and members of the Board of
Corrections all have been invited
to meet with CURE members
during the day, and members also
will attend an afternoon hearing
by a Senate committee on a resolu
tion mandating a move toward
community-based correctional
facilities.

Here's the difference
between a bank's
interest-bearing
checking account
and ours:
Ours pays SA7%
effective annual yield.
Theirs pays 5.39% (or, in
some cases, much less).
MoneyStore was the first interest-bearing checking account in the
Brazos Valley. And it’s still the best. Look at these features:
• $300 Minimum Balance (not $500, $600, $700, $1,000 or $1,200).
You pay no service charges at Brazos Savings if you maintain only a $300
minimum balance.
• Maximum Interest—Regardless of Balance. MoneyStore pays you
5V4% interest, compounded continuously, on your balance (an effective
annual yield of 5.47%). Even if your balance drops below $300, you earn
maximum interest on your funds.
• Telephone Bill Paying at No Extra Cost. With your authorization,
MoneyStore will pay some of your bills direct. Just call us, tell us who to pay,
how much and when. Keep your funds earning interest until you need to pay
your bills. (On telephone bill paying, we pay the postage. If we miss a due
date through our error, we pay the late fee.)
• Overdraft Protection. Brazos Savings has automatic overdraft pro
tection for qualifying MoneyStore customers. And it costs you nothing —
until you use it.
It’s easy to open a MoneyStore checking account.
And we’ll pay you to use it.
