ouston debt could cost city millions
United Press International
-k AUSTIN — Comptroller Bob
Bullock said Tuesday the city of
Houston owes the state $287,699
in revenue from traffic fines and
that the state could withhold mil
lions of dollars in tax revenue from
the city unless the debt is paid.
Bullock said Houston collected
the money as fines for traffic viola
tions on interstate highways with
in the city limits and did not for
ward the money to the state.
An audit of city records for the
period June 1975 to March 1980
reflected the debt, Bullock said.
He said the city has owed the
money for eight months but has
made no effort to pay.
“If the city has financial trou
bles, we’d like to talk to them and
work out an installment plan like
we do for any other sincere tax
payer,” Bullock said.
The audit also resulted in the
city paying $371,000 to the Cri
minal Justice Planning Fund and
$147,000 to the Law Enforcement
Officers Standards and Education
Fund.
Bank funds spent
on football tickets
United Press International
AUSTIN — Lampasas banker Lloyd Davis pleaded guilty Mon
day to federal charges of making a false entry in records of People’s
National Bank in Lampasas to cover up the use of bank funds for the
purchase of $700 in University of Texas football tickets from former
star Johnny “Lam” Jones.
Davis said he charged the $700 to an account for bank stationery,
printing and supplies.
The guilty plea was part of an agreement with prosecutors in
return for the government’s dropping the remaining 34 counts of a
federal indictment returned against Davis in October.
He could receive a maximum five-year prison sentence and fine
of up to $5,000. Davis’ attorneys have indicated they expect him to
receive a probated sentence.

House votes
to transfer
fuel control
United Press International
AUSTIN — The House narrow
ly passed a bill Tuesday that would
transfer to the Railroad Commis
sion authority to issue permits to
manufacturers of gasohol, despite
protests that the move would be
costly to the manufacturers.
The bill by Rep. Bill Goody,
D-Weatherford, was passed 72-66
and sent to the Senate.
Rep. Dan Kubiak, D-Rockdale,
one of the House’s two leading
gasohol advocates, said transfer
ring the authority from the Alco
hol Beverage Commission would
thwart the gasohol industry. He
said the ABC’s method of opera
tion was more cost efficient than
the Railroad Commission’s.
“It’s something that is a slap in
the face, and all of you realize
that,” Kubiak said.
He said the ABC should retain
control of permit issuance because
gasohol is manufactured from agri
cultural products.
But Goody said the Railroad
Commission should have the au
thority to issue the permits be
cause gasohol is an energy fuel and
the Railroad Commission has
jurisdiction over fuel matters.
New judge
in 10-year
deseg trial
United Press International
DALLAS — The new judge in
the 10-year-old Dallas school de
segregation case says he plans to
bring the case to trial promptly.
School officials had feared the
change of judges, necessitated by
the withdrawal of the original
judge in the case, would cause a
delay in the suit, making it diffi
cult for the school system to im
plement any new desegregation
plan.
U.S. District Judge Barefoot
Sanders was chosen to replace
Judge William Taylor, who dis
qualified himself because of
NAACP objections. Taylor had
presided over the case for the last
10 years.
Sanders canceled the original
trial date of Mar. 30, but told
attorneys for both sides “that the
court does not anticipate a long
delay in bringing this case to
trial.”
Sanders Monday ordered a pre
trial hearing for Friday.
Taylor disqualified himself af
ter the NAACP said he could no
longer be impartial in the suit be
cause of his past association with
the school district’s desegregation
law firm and his conversations
with the Dallas Alliance, the
group that drew up the current
desegregation plan.
The NAACP may use Friday’s
hearing to ask Sanders whether
he, too, should disqualify himself
in light of ear lier statements made
by the judge opposing busing for
desegregation.
Thomas Atkins, a national
attorney for the NAACP, said
Saturday he will study the past
positions taken by the judge and
determine whether the NAACP
will seek to remove him from the
suit.
Atkins said he was troubled by
statements made by Sanders in his
1972 campaign for the U.S. Sen
ate. The civil rights attorney said
he would reserve judgement on
the issue until later.
During his campaign against
Sen. John Tower, R-Texas, San
ders said repeatedly he was
against busing for desegregation.
